Chapter 493 Seven Inner Court Students.
"No, we have to find something for Boss Flander to do."
Looking at Flander's fleeing figure, Liu Erlong narrowed his eyes and muttered softly.
However, compared to Liu Erlong, who was thinking about finding things for Flander, Zhao Wuji had already taken Xuan Mo and the other six into his arms and led them into the training ground.
"Haha! You kids, look at this place, it's all been lavishly built. All these soul tools were provided by Pierre Cardan after the training ground was constructed. To prevent the leakage of such important information as soul tools, this place has been designated as a forbidden area."
After saying that, he turned to the Grandmaster who was training the students.
"Moreover, the teaching staff for those kids is the best in the academy. In addition to us two Title Douluos, not only do we have the Grandmaster personally teaching us and enjoying the same treatment as you little monsters, but Qin Ming and Shao Xin, the food-type Soul Saints, are also on standby to replenish their physical strength and soul power."
After listening to Zhao Wuji's introduction, Xuan Mo nodded repeatedly.
In his view, Shrek Academy was a place for cultivating strong individuals. Therefore, it must be incredibly arduous. Xuanmo even felt the training could be even more rigorous.
Just then, the Grandmaster's voice rang out.
"Teacher Zhao, increase the gravity a bit more!"
"Understood, leave it to me!" Zhao Wuji didn't hesitate. With a gentle grasp of his right hand, Xuanmo felt the surrounding air being compressed and filled with a heavy sensation.
Watching the Grandmaster train the students, Xuanmo and the others tacitly remained silent, simply observing the training progress.
After a while, once the students finished training, they followed the Grandmaster towards Xuanmo and the others.
Seeing this, the master's slightly stiff face twitched into a faint smile. "Little monsters, you've arrived."
Xuanmo and his two companions, along with Ryder and the others, didn't hesitate and quickly went to greet him respectfully, saying, "Master."
The others looked at each other with suspicion, because they had never seen the master smile on his stiff face except when he was with Teacher Erlong.
Only when they carefully observed Xuanmo and his companions' faces and realized they were the Shrek Eight Monsters did they show an expression of understanding.
At the same time, the master, who knew that Tang San had traveled with Xuanmo and the others, looked around but couldn't find them. So he asked, "Xiao Mo, where are Xiao San and the others?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanmo calmly told the master that Tang San and Xiao Wu had taken Ma Hongjun and the Titans and the Power Clan to Dragon Rising City, and that they had returned first.
"I see." The master didn't ask any further questions, but simply turned slightly to reveal the students behind him who had been selected, had good talent, and were qualified to join the newly established inner academy.
"Come and see, these are the inner court students I've selected. What do you think? Are you satisfied?"
"Master, you're the professionals. We don't have any satisfaction or dissatisfaction to speak of. It's all up to you."
Xuan Mo said, turning his gaze back to the students. Their numbers were exactly seven, just the right number for a team in the National Soul Master Competition.
One of the girls looked remarkably like Ning Rongrong, with short black hair and a beautiful face, though she seemed a little younger. Everyone found her somewhat familiar.
"Huh? This little girl!?"
Xuan Mo seemed to realize something and turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong also seemed to realize something.
The master, seeing this, looked at the girl and said...
"Xiao Xi, please introduce yourself."
The young woman stepped out from the group, her expression slightly excited upon seeing Ning Rongrong in her long dress. She said, "My name is Ning Xi, I'm seventeen, a level forty-one support-type Soul Master. My Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Immediately, Ning Xi knelt on one knee, respectfully saying to Ning Rongrong, "Ning Xi greets the Vice Sect Master."
Upon hearing Ning Xi's introduction, Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, you're actually a direct female disciple of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Seeing her next move, she quickly used her soul power to lift her up, saying softly, "Xiao Xi, you don't need to be so polite. Here, I'm your senior, there aren't so many rules like in the sect. Just call me Rongrong."
At the same time, the Grandmaster explained the situation. It turned out that this talented direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been specially sent by Ning Fengzhi several years ago for training.
Ning Rongrong was completely unaware of this.
Furthermore, through the introductions of the other six inner court students, Xuan Mo and his companions learned about their ages, cultivation levels, and impressive martial souls.
To their surprise, one of them possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul. He was from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan and had recently been brought by the Grandmaster.
"What do you think?"
Xuan Mo asked Oscar and Ryder with a smile. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with all seven.
"At least not much worse than the two of us."
Jin Sanqian and Wilda exchanged a glance, then scratched their heads with a smile, their gazes fixed on one student. This student's martial soul was the only defensive type among the seven.
"What's wrong? You've taken a liking to this junior?"
Noticing Jin Sanqian's gaze, Xuan Mo smiled and walked over to the nervous student, putting his arm around his shoulder.
"The Rock Armored Giant Elephant Martial Soul is quite a good match for you."
At this point, Xuanmo looked at the Grandmaster. "Grandmaster, how did you train those seven?"
The Grandmaster looked at the seven students and said, "It's similar to how I trained you back then. We had segmented training: running with weights under Zhao Wuji's gravity to build physical strength, and practical combat training under Erlong or Qin Ming. In addition, we cultivated our soul power at night, with Erlong and Wuji providing guidance on appropriate training details."
Xuanmo and the others nodded secretly. The training these students endured was no small feat.
Xuanmo and his two companions felt this deeply. However, surviving under Liu Erlong now was even more ruthless than with the Eight Monsters back then.
At least when the Shrek Eight Monsters were training, Liu Erlong wasn't yet a Title Douluo.
But no pain, no gain. Inner Academy students had to endure this kind of training.
At the same time, Xuanmo seemed to have thought of something good. His lips curled slightly, and he whispered something in Ning Rongrong's ear. Ning Rongrong immediately looked troubled.
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
Xuan Mo, however, patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry."
