Chapter 137 Ning Tian Exposed! Is this the requirement to join the Inner Academy?
The light and shadow above the sky froze on the Shrek Academy's main playground, and the pressure emanating from the seven titled Douluo seniors made the order of the entire space become heavy and condensed.
The impact of directly facing top experts caused the freshmen at the center of the vortex to experience a rapid shift in their mindset, from shock to excitement.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Huo Yuhao stood rooted to the spot. Although he felt the pressure from Ma Xiaotao's level 96 soul power, his eyes showed no fear, but rather a strong thirst for knowledge.
Wang Dong'er clenched her fists and whispered to Xiao Xiao beside her, "I thought we were progressing fast enough, but I didn't expect our seniors to have already entered that field. I wonder if we'll be able to be this strong when we reach their age."
Xiao Xiao nodded and smiled, saying, "There shouldn't be any problem, after all, we're quite strong too."
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao, who was in front, glanced around and then gestured to her companions behind her.
[Soon, the seven Title Douluos each selected their mentors based on the newborn's martial soul attributes and combat role.]
The first person to approach Huo Yuhao was not Ma Xiaotao, but Ling Luochen, whose expression was cold and stern.
Her level 92 ice elemental soul power resonated with the Ice God's essence within Huo Yuhao.
"Ma Xiaotao's flames will interfere with your senses. I'm better suited to guide you in the precise control of ice attributes." Ling Luochen's voice was flat. She raised her right hand, and a flower of order, condensed from ice elements, quietly bloomed at her fingertips.
Huo Yuhao immediately bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, senior."
Ling Luochen led Huo Yuhao to a corner of the playground and immediately unleashed his Extreme Ice Domain.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Your ice-attribute martial soul is extremely powerful, but currently you only rely on brute force. The true order of the ice attribute lies in the non-linear transformation between 'temperature' and 'hardness.' Watch closely; this is how the absolute zero range is compressed point-to-point through soul power vibration."
She demonstrated how to compress a wide-range freezing soul skill into a single ice needle as thin as a hair.
The ice needle pierced through a specially made soul-guiding alloy plate—a plate strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Emperor—without making a sound.
Huo Yuhao watched with extreme focus, immediately activating his double pupils to analyze the scene and simultaneously deducing the events within his sea of consciousness.
Ling Luochen not only imparted the techniques but also explained in detail how ice elements are recombined within the underlying logic of order. This instantly elevated Huo Yuhao's understanding of the Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul to a new level.

Meanwhile, Gongyang Mo also approached Ning Tian. As a level 91 support-type titled Douluo, his Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul possessed top-tier support amplification effects across the entire continent.
"While the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the top-tier support martial soul, your amplification method is too simplistic." Gongyang Mo smiled, spreading his wings, and seven-colored light enveloped Ning Tian. "You need to learn to attach your support soul power to the target's order nodes, instead of simply covering them. This way, you can achieve the greatest amplification effect with minimal consumption."
Ning Tian listened intently, diligently recording the various soul power resonance data that Gongyang Mo mentioned.
[XiXi then sought out Zhu Lu. The two agility-type Soul Masters engaged in a high-speed chase at the other end of the playground. XiXi's level 93 cultivation made her almost a blur of motion when she moved.]
"The true essence of an agility-based attacker isn't about being fast, but about always appearing in the opponent's most uncomfortable position." Xi Xi whispered these words in Zhu Lu's ear before vanishing instantly, reappearing in Zhu Lu's blind spot. "Your breathing is erratic; this kind of energy fluctuation will prematurely reveal your location."
The images in the sky were playing continuously.
The Soul Masters of the Dark World gazed at these artistic guidance images in the sky, and were once again plunged into a long period of感慨 and shock.
"Ling Luochen's understanding of ice elements has simply transcended the realm of a Soul Master. She's teaching Huo Yuhao how to modify the physical constants of ice," a control-type Soul King from the underworld said with envy.
"This kind of one-on-one teaching shortens the path for these freshmen to become Title Douluo every minute. It can only be said that White Shrek Academy truly lives up to its name; who wouldn't be envious of such top-notch sparring partners?"
"The foundation of White Shrek Academy is beyond powerful. There are countless benefits to cultivating there. Now look at Black Shrek Academy, tsk tsk tsk, it's unbearable to watch."
Many underworld soul masters were filled with emotion.
Meanwhile, they were also staring at the images in the sky, trying to follow their instructions, but they found that without hands-on guidance, such precision was like a foreign language to them.
They had no choice but to give up the attempt.
"Sigh, it's still too difficult."
"Without someone like Bai Shijie who provides hands-on instruction, it would be impossible to do so."
"What a pity..."
Inside the canopy, this high-intensity, specialized training continued for a full day.
The setting sun cast its golden rays across the playground, where Huo Yuhao and the others, exhausted from a full day of training, collapsed onto the grass.
Even with the support of top-tier elixirs and restorative soul skills, the weariness emanating from the depths of his soul was still undeniable.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao and the others did not continue their cultivation.
Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and the others didn't rush to leave; instead, they sat down next to the freshmen.
The initial awkwardness between the senior students and the freshmen diminished considerably after a full day of training together.
"Senior, how did you get into the Inner Academy?" Wang Dong'er asked Ma Xiaotao, panting slightly. "I heard the Inner Academy is the true core of Shrek Academy. What exactly are the criteria for joining?"
Before Ma Xiaotao and the others could speak, Ning Tian, sitting on the other side, raised his hand and answered softly, "I know this. When I was little, I heard the elders in the sect talk about it in detail."
"If I remember correctly, to join Shrek Academy's inner court, you first need to join the 'Shrek Inspection Team,' right?"
"Afterwards, we will help the academy complete ten highly difficult tasks free of charge. These tasks are both an assessment of the students by the academy and our Shrek Academy's way of upholding justice for the peace of the Douluo Continent!"
"Although many academies have fallen, many students are still willing to join for the sake of their ideals."
Ning Tian told her everything he knew.
On the other side, in the dark world, the Soul Masters frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Is this the requirement to join the inner court? Something doesn't seem quite right."
