Outer Court Special Selected Student Leaving the room, he saw Yan Shaozhe's back.

Su Qingfeng asked, "Senior Brother, is there anything else?"

"Junior Brother, come sit over here."

Yan Shaozhe led Su Qingfeng to a pavilion on Sea God Island and they sat down.

The pavilion was located by the shore of Sea God Lake. The evening breeze from the lake, accompanied by the sunset glow, illuminated Su Qingfeng's face, lending him a unique charm.

Yan Shaozhe was momentarily lost in thought, realizing how handsome his junior brother was at all times, handsome from every angle and at any moment.

Perhaps, even if Su Qingfeng were pinned to the ground and bleeding, a crowd of girls would still consider the enemy too cruel and bullying, rushing to defend and protect him, even willing to die for him.

Snapping back to reality, Yan Shaozhe finally spoke to Su Qingfeng: "Junior Brother, you now possess your first Soul Ring and the Extreme Ice element. You've embarked on the path of a Soul Master very well."

"You are the Holy Son of Sea God Pavilion and the Holy Son of Shrek Academy, the leader of the younger generation of Soul Masters. You might not fully grasp what this means yet, but you will understand in the future. I believe you will do an excellent job."

"Naturally, this means, Junior Brother, that you cannot stay in Sea God Pavilion forever, never venturing out. You must gain some understanding of Shrek Academy."

Yan Shaozhe took out a map from his storage Soul Tool. It was a general map of Shrek Academy, marking its buildings and roads.

As a transmigator, Su Qingfeng naturally knew that Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the continent and occupied a vast area.

However, upon actually seeing the entire map of Shrek Academy, Su Qingfeng was still somewhat surprised. Shrek Academy, rather than being just an academy, was more like a metropolis. Within the academy, there was not only a distinction between the Inner Court and Outer Court but also trains powered by Soul Tools and various commercial streets.

Yan Shaozhe said, "Under normal circumstances, Junior Brother, you have already received the recognition of the Sea God Pavilion meeting, which is the highest form of recognition in Shrek Academy. You don't need to compete with those who have just entered the academy in the Outer Court."

"Therefore, I have thought of two places for you, Junior Brother. One is the Inner Court. The Inner Court consists of Shrek Academy's specially cultivated disciples, all possessing considerable strength and forming the backbone of Shrek Academy. Both Xiao Tao and Le Xuan are core disciples of the Inner Court, and I believe you will surpass them one day and break their records."

"The other is the Outer Court. The Outer Court mainly consists of new disciples. Those around level thirty can already stand out in the Outer Court and are considered formidable Soul Masters among those students. However, the Outer Court also has its drawbacks; the environment and resources are not as good as the Inner Court. Many students are eliminated for failing to pass the freshman assessment smoothly, with at least one-third of new students leaving Shrek Academy each year to study or make a living elsewhere."

"The foundation of Shrek Academy, our core motto, is to cultivate monsters!"

Yan Shaozhe said with a smile, a hint of pride on his face, thinking that his junior brother would also feel proud of this. This was the motto jointly established by the teachers and dean of the first generation of Shrek Academy, and it sounded incredibly impressive.

Su Qingfeng muttered, "Cultivating those with poor talent into powerful Soul Masters is what makes them true monsters. Those with good talent won't go far wrong no matter how they are trained."

Yan Shaozhe, with his excellent hearing, awkwardly touched his head and said helplessly, "Haha, Junior Brother, you're not wrong in saying that, but there's no other way. If a Soul Master has no talent, unless they are very lucky and receive a lot of help from powerful individuals and rare treasures, they can't become strong. Even if such a monster appears, it's just an isolated case. In other words, if one's talent is already good, with the same resources, they will only be stronger than those with poor talent."

Su Qingfeng nodded, "That's true."

"So, Junior Brother, do you want to study in the Inner Court or the Outer Court?"

Yan Shaozhe inquired. "I don't particularly want to go to either. I think it's quite good here on the island. The environment is beautiful, and the air is fresh. It's a good place for retirement... no, for cultivation."

Su Qingfeng leaned against a pillar of the pavilion and said indifferently. To be honest, he wasn't very interested in either the Inner Court or the Outer Court. He'd rather stay on the island and cultivate alone than go out and hone his skills.

"This... it is indeed good, but there are almost no people your age on the island, and Sea God Island isn't very large. You might get bored before long."

Seeing that Su Qingfeng wasn't very interested, Yan Shaozhe smiled. "Alright, if junior fellow disciple hasn't made up your mind yet, we can discuss this another time."

"I'll go to the Outer Court then."

It was at this moment that Su Qingfeng said calmly.

He suspected that even on Sea God Island, he wouldn't be safe. Ma Xiaotao and the elders wouldn't let him off the hook.

What if Ma Xiaotao climbed into his bed in the middle of the night? What should he do then? He had heard that all those elders wanted to snatch him up as their disciple.

"Oh? Why do you want to go to the Outer Court?" Yan Shaozhe asked with some curiosity. The Inner Court was for elites and would better suit Su Qingfeng's temperament!

"Let's take it step by step. Besides, the students in the Outer Court should be closer to my age,"

Su Qingfeng said helplessly.

Yan Shaozhe himself had said that most Outer Court students had a soul power level below thirty-one. That meant Inner Court students should mostly be above thirty-one. Even though he was the Holy Son of Sea God Pavilion, his soul power was only at level fifteen. Was he going to the Inner Court just to be humiliated?

"Alright, as long as you've decided. But don't worry too much. Your attending the academy is just to let you experience Shrek Academy's Soul Master atmosphere and meet more people. It's not about fighting. We will protect your personal safety, junior fellow disciple. You are the treasure of our Sea God Pavilion."

Yan Shaozhe comforted him, and as he spoke, he took out a set of specially made inner and outer garments from his storage Soul Tool.

"This is a protective Soul Tool garment personally sewn by our Dean Xian Lin'er. It's called the Hun Yuan Yi and is inlaid with three hundred and sixty tiny, integrated defensive gems. Because they are so fine, the gems won't make you feel uncomfortable; instead, they'll give you a comfortable, massage-like sensation. They are connected by ten-thousand-year-old snow silkworm silk. If your life is ever in danger, the energy within these three hundred and sixty gems will instantly erupt, forming a powerful protective shield capable of withstanding a full-power blow from a top-tier Soul Douluo. However, I hope it will never be needed."

"This set of outer clothing is similar to the Outer Court uniforms, but with a difference. It's our specially made Special Selected uniform for you."

"Junior fellow disciple, as our Sea God Pavilion's Holy Son, whether you are studying or visiting the Outer Court or the Inner Court, you have privileges. Except for a few restricted areas, you can freely enter and exit any classroom or library without any restrictions."

"This is because you are attending as a Special Selected Student, not an ordinary student. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Su Qingfeng's mind became much clearer.

Privileges? Why didn't you say so earlier?!
