Chapter 55: Small Changes
After Wang Nan and Moon finished chatting, there was no one else to be seen on the mountain where Poseidon Pavilion was located. Wang Nan left alone and followed the mountain road to the foot of the mountain, but he did not expect to meet an unexpected person here.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Although Wang Yan is a teacher, in Shrek Academy, teachers from the external colleges are not allowed to enter Poseidon Island at will, not to mention that this mountain is the most important Poseidon Pavilion on Poseidon Island.
The reason why Wang Yan was able to enter Poseidon Island later was because he led the incomplete Shrek Academy to win the championship of the Fighting Spirit Competition. Therefore, the academy made an exception and gave him the qualification to enter and exit Poseidon Island.
"Nan'er, why are you here?"
Wang Yan's face was also full of surprise.
Although they seldom met each other, Wang Yan still cared about his nephew very much. Therefore, he knew that Wang Nan had participated in the inner courtyard assessment. With his understanding of Wang Nan's strength, he was not surprised that Wang Nan could stay in the inner courtyard, but he did not expect that he would come to Poseidon Pavilion.
The uncle and nephew smiled at each other, and Wang Nan began to explain, "A teacher wanted to see me, so I came here to chat for a while."
Wang Yan widened his eyes slightly.
Although Wang Nan did not specify which teacher it was, the one who could live here must be an elder of Poseidon Pavilion. And judging from Wang Nan's tone, it was more than just an ordinary relationship.
"By the way, Uncle, you haven't told me why you came to the inner courtyard?"
Wang Yan reorganized his expression and said, "I came here for some matters concerning the monitoring mission."
"Is Second Uncle going to perform the inspection mission?" Wang Nan put away his smile. All the teachers of Shrek Academy are members of the Shrek Inspection Team, and Wang Yan is no exception. Inspection missions are never absolutely safe.
"Don't worry, I just came back from a mission." Wang Yan looked at Wang Nan's expression and explained, "Some time ago, the academy received news that there were traces of evil soul masters in the Douling Empire, involving a sect that has been wiped out, the Tianlin Sect."
Wang Nan's expression was a little strange when he heard this. Why does this sect sound familiar?
"I have heard about the deeds of the Sky Scale Sect before. It is rumored that they have a secret method that can make the martial soul evolve. You also know that I have been devoted to the research of martial souls, so I also participated in the investigation of this news."
"Well, are there any results?" Wang Nan asked curiously.
Wang Yan shook his head upon hearing this. "Although we have confirmed that there was an evil soul master, we couldn't find him when we went there."
"Other members of the investigation are still continuing their investigation based on clues from the surrounding areas. I came back this time mainly for the Tianlin Sect. I have applied for the qualification to read some of the books in the inner courtyard to see if I can find any information related to the Tianlin Sect. Perhaps I can get some clues from it."
Wang Nan knew that Wang Yan’s talent for cultivation was average, so he had always been obsessed with the study of martial spirits. In his eyes, the books and materials in the Shrek Inner Court were the most precious treasures. Now he had the opportunity to look through the books, even a small part of them was enough to make him excited for a long time.
Of course, what Wang Nan didn't know was that even the elders had to go through cumbersome procedures to browse the books in Shrek's inner courtyard. Wang Yan was able to get a chance to enter the inner courtyard library as a teacher in the outer courtyard, and it was also partly due to his contribution.
"Then you go up first, uncle. I won't delay you."
"Okay, then you..." Wang Yan looked at Wang Nan and wanted to tell him something, but then he realized that Wang Nan was already an inner courtyard disciple, so the words he wanted to tell him had already become another sentence when they came to his mouth, "Practice well after entering the inner courtyard, and remember to protect yourself."
"I will." Wang Nan nodded, "Second Uncle should also pay attention to safety."
"Yeah." Wang Nan watched Wang Yan climb the mountain, then turned and walked towards the dormitory. He had just entered the inner courtyard, and didn't know what the dormitory assigned to him was like. In addition, his luggage had to be moved in from the outer courtyard as soon as possible, otherwise he would have no place to rest at night.
Perhaps influenced by the ancient golden tree, the vegetation on Poseidon Island is very lush, with tall trees growing on both sides of the road.
Relying on the impression that Cai Meir had when she brought him here, Wang Nan walked along the winding path for a long time before he saw the red dormitory building again. Someone was already waiting for him downstairs.
Ma Xiaotao was wearing a red school uniform with her hands behind her back. When she saw Wang Nan coming, she turned sideways, raised her pretty face, and raised her hand to greet him.
"Congratulations on passing the inner courtyard assessment."
"You're so well-informed." Wang Nan took two steps forward, and Ma Xiaotao followed him naturally.
"I'm not particularly well-informed. The annual inner courtyard examination is almost at this time. By the way, which teacher did the academy arrange for you to practice with?"
"Well, it should be Vice President Cai." Wang Nan thought for a moment and said, "President Cai said before that if there is anything I don't understand, I can go ask her."
"I see. I heard that Dean Cai's martial spirit is the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear. You both have weapon martial spirits, so you should have a lot of similarities."
Wang Nan nodded when he heard this. Not only are they both weapon spirits, but the gun and the stick also have some similarities in how they are used. It seems that I will have to ask Dean Cai for advice more often in the future.
The two walked into the dormitory building and happened to see an inner courtyard disciple coming down the stairs. After seeing Ma Xiaotao, he stopped in surprise, and then called out "Senior Sister Xiaotao" politely.
"Xiaotao... Senior Sister?" Wang Nan glanced at Ma Xiaotao. This inner court disciple looked much older than Ma Xiaotao.
"You should know that the inner courtyard disciples are ranked."
Wang Nan nodded. Cai Meier had mentioned to him that the academy encouraged inner court disciples to fight each other, and even made a ranking list based on their strength.
"The disciple just now was behind me." Ma Xiaotao explained, "There is no age distinction in the inner courtyard. The chief disciple will be called the eldest brother or eldest sister. I don't know when it started, but some inner courtyard disciples also started to call each other according to that list, and those at the front are called senior brothers or senior sisters."
"What's your current ranking?"
"About a dozen."
There are about 60 disciples in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, and the most powerful chief disciple even has the cultivation level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Ma Xiaotao can rank among the top ten with the cultivation level of a five-ring Soul King, which is enough to prove her talent.
"Great." Wang Nan gave Ma Xiaotao a thumbs up.
"Why don't you give it a try? With your strength, there should be people who call you Senior Brother."
"Let's talk about it next year. After I finish the admission procedures for the inner courtyard, I would like to take a leave and go home."
Unlike the external college's promotion assessment, the internal college assessment was held at the end of the semester to take care of the sixth-year students who were about to graduate. Therefore, after the internal college assessment was over, it was close to the end of the year.
