Shrek Academy, Sea God's Pavilion. ♢♦ 6➈รHuˣ.𝕔όᵐ 👽♢
Yan Shaozhe was the last to enter the Sea God Pavilion. Not long after the last meeting ended, the Sea God Conference was convened again.
"Has it been happening a bit too frequently lately?" Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself.
Yan Shaozhe sat down in his seat, and Qian Duoduo, who was sitting opposite him, greeted him with a smile, "Hey, Lao Yan, why are you so late today?"
Yan Shaozhe was somewhat surprised by Qian Duoduo's behavior. It was already good enough that this person didn't argue with him, but today he actually took the initiative to greet him?
Although he had some doubts, Yan Shaozhe still smiled and nodded, replying, "Old Qian, why are you so happy today? What good thing happened?"
Qian Duoduo noticed Yan Shaozhe's confusion and immediately grinned from ear to ear, saying mysteriously, "You'll find out soon enough!"
Old Master Mu, seated at the head of the table, remained reclining in his chair, looking quite languid. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he said gently, "This emergency meeting was convened by Lin'er. Lin'er, you shall preside over it."
Xian Lin'er responded, holding a small recording soul tool in her hand. As she operated it, she said, "This is the Soul Guidance Department's record from yesterday, about Ye Nanxiao."
Yan Shaozhe perked up upon hearing this and asked, "Are you trying to steal someone again?"
Xian Lin'er glanced at Yan Shaozhe but ignored him and continued, "We discovered that Ye Nanxiao possesses a mysterious forging technique. Yesterday, under the witness of the eighth-level Soul Master Fan Yu, Ye Nanxiao used this forging technique to create a level five barrier Soul Tool. Of course, the initial estimate is that it is a level five Soul Tool."
After Xian Lin'er finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, and even Elder Xuan stopped eating the chicken leg in his hand.
Everyone present understands the significance of the level distribution of soul tools.
After a silence of about a minute, Elder Lin broke the silence, asking, "Is this forging technique capable of forging beyond one's level?"
Xian Lin'er said excitedly, "Ye Nanxiao rebuilt a damaged level-seven soul tool prototype, and this soul tool forged by Ye Nanxiao's blood has growth potential!"
"Growth potential!" Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in surprise. A soul tool with growth potential had never appeared before.
"The specific situation is unknown, so we are holding an emergency meeting," Xianlin'er said.
The elders whispered amongst themselves, while Elder Xuan drank one sip of wine after another, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy eyes from time to time.
After a long while, Elder Mu, who was at the head of the table, spoke up, "This blood forging method should only be usable by that little guy. As for the growth-type soul tool, we don't need to get involved for now. Let the little guy figure it out on his own. Let's wait for his good news. If the little guy needs anything, Duoduo, please cooperate with him."
Qian Duoduo quickly replied to Elder Mu, "I understand, I will cooperate with Ye Nanxiao."
Xian Lin'er wanted to say something more, but Qian Duoduo pulled her aside and said, "Forget it, Lin'er, let's wait for Ye Nanxiao. I believe in him."
The Poseidon Conference ended quickly, concluding with Ye Nanxiao observing from the sidelines.
After watching everyone leave the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Xuan looked at Elder Mu and asked, "Elder Mu, what about this blood forging method?"
Old Master Mu smiled gently and said, "This little fellow has quite a few good things in his blood."
Elder Xuan frowned and asked, "It seems that the bloodline in Ye Nanxiao's body has quite a background."
Elder Xuan didn't say the rest aloud, but Elder Mu already understood his meaning.
Old Mu chuckled twice, waved his hand, and said, "Xuanzi, you're overthinking it. The little guy has very good luck. You should have felt that yourself. Luck is such an ethereal thing. I've lived for over two hundred years and I only have a rough understanding of it. Everyone has their own destiny. Since it's predetermined, we don't need to worry about it. Besides, the little guy has always been straightforward. If you're really curious, you can just ask him directly."
Upon hearing Mu Lao's words, Xuan Lao also laughed, shaking the wine gourd in his hand and saying, "I have indeed felt that powerful aura. However, I'm just afraid that this little guy is trying to squeeze some benefits out of me. Qian Duoduo was extorted by Ye Xiaozi for a lot of rare metals, and Qian Duoduo couldn't even win an argument with Ye Xiaozi."
"It's normal for the little guy to be looking for resources now that he's become the deputy sect leader of the Tang Sect. If you have the chance, help him out. Back in the day, the Tang Sect was even more dazzling than Shrek Academy." Old Master Mu opened his eyes and looked at the carved painting in the conference room, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
Master Xuan nodded, took out a chicken leg, hung the wine gourd on his waist, and slowly left.
Ye Nanxiao, who was being discussed by everyone, had his head pressed down on the table by a slender hand. Ye Nanxiao cautiously glanced at Jiang Nannan, who was clearly angry.
Jiang Nannan's pretty face was filled with anger, and her tone was menacing. "Tell me honestly, what have you been doing these past few days?"
"Um, Nan Nan, can I lift my head first?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a forced smile, silently thinking, "An angry girl is definitely not someone to mess with!"
Jiang Nannan crossed her arms and stared at Ye Nanxiao with a gloomy expression. Ye Nanxiao hadn't appeared in the classroom for several days. Jiang Nannan was completely unaware of Ye Nanxiao's creation of the soul tool. Moreover, there were rumors that Ye Nanxiao had gone shopping with a senior from the inner academy. If it weren't for Jiang Nannan's good temper, Ye Nanxiao might have been kneeling on the keyboard on the spot.
Ye Nanxiao sat up straight, touched his fox ears, and said with a sheepish smile, "Um, Nannan, I've been doing experiments at the Soul Guidance Department these past few days. I was probably in a rush, so I didn't think about your feelings. I'm sorry."
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao had apologized, Jiang Nannan's anger subsided considerably. Her expression softened, and she said with a hint of resentment, "You should have told me! I was so worried these past few days without any word from you."
As she spoke, Jiang Nannan's eyes reddened. Ye Nanxiao's importance to her was no less than that of Jiang Jia. When Ye Nanxiao saw that there was a hint of tears in Jiang Nannan's big eyes, he felt a pang of heartache and hugged her tightly. He put aside his previous thought of how to give Jiang Nannan a surprise.
"Nannan, I was wrong. To tell you the truth, I started studying the Soul Guidance Department because I wanted to create a Soul Guidance Device for you," Ye Nanxiao said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan looked up and asked in confusion, "A soul tool for me?"
Ye Nanxiao took out the necklace made of the living gold and held Jiang Nannan's hand in his palm.
Jiang Nannan looked at the necklace in her hand, especially the carrot-shaped one, her eyes curving into crescents, filled with affection.
Ye Nanxiao walked behind Jiang Nannan, gently gathered her hair, and looking at her snow-white nape, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Jiang Nannan felt her body starting to heat up, but she didn't push Ye Nanxiao away.
Ye Nanxiao stopped with a light kiss, took the necklace from Jiang Nannan's hand, and gently put the emerald green necklace on her. Jiang Nannan's skin was already snow-white, and the emerald green necklace made her skin look even whiter. The carrot-shaped pendant added a lot of girlish charm to the necklace.

Jiang Nannan picked up the necklace and looked at the carrot-shaped pendant. Tears welled up in her eyes and slowly slid down her pretty face, but the curve of her lips showed that Jiang Nannan was in a very happy mood.
"Silly boy, you prepared a gift for me without saying a word. Don't do this again next time. I can live without a gift, but I can't live without you." Jiang Nannan hugged Ye Nanxiao tightly, her beautiful big eyes staring straight at Ye Nanxiao, not allowing Ye Nanxiao to refuse.
Ye Nanxiao kissed away the tears that had rolled down Jiang Nannan's cheeks and gently replied, "Yes, I'll be your silly girl."
"Hey, if you two keep doing this, I'm not eating today," Lin Susu said awkwardly, biting on a lollipop.
Ye Nanxiao glared at Lin Susu, annoyed. "Can't you see the atmosphere here is just right?"
Jiang Nannan quickly wiped away the tears on her face, but her small hand tightly gripped Ye Nanxiao's large hand. With her other hand, she held the carrot pendant up to her eyes and examined it closely. Seeing the ruby in the center of the carrot, she asked curiously, "Nanxiao, what is this gemstone?"
Although I only attended a few days of classes on soul tools, I rarely saw any soul tools with gems in the illustrated guide.
"This necklace is a defensive barrier-type soul tool. It can be activated actively or passively. Currently, it is only level five. With that gem, this necklace will continue to grow until it becomes a level nine soul tool." Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment, but still didn't reveal that it was a blood gem formed from his own blood essence, for fear that Jiang Nannan would start crying again.
"However, Xue'er, I used so much of my essence and blood when I created it, why don't I feel anything at all?" Ye Nanxiao asked Xue Di.
Xue Di fiddled with her hair, her expression somewhat strange, and said, "I'm not entirely sure either, but when you were undergoing blood forging, the bloodline within you was very quiet."
"I'll look into it when I have time."
"How many times have you told me? You're just showing off your love every day!"
"."
At the same time, news that Ye Nanxiao, a level three soul master, had created at least a level five soul tool had spread throughout the soul tool system. Fan Yu not only did not hide it, but also spread the news.
As for Ye Nanxiao, a level three soul master, he hasn't even taken the qualification exam yet, so to speak, he can't find an experimental area to take the exam.
After Ye Nanxiao found out, he muttered, "It was probably Qian Duoduo who did it."
Ye Nanxiao did not explicitly state whether he would enter the Martial Soul Department or the Soul Guidance Department's inner courtyard. Both deans were making subtle moves, but Yan Shaozhe was clearly confident. After all, Ye Nanxiao would most likely follow Jiang Nannan, and Jiang Nannan wasn't particularly interested in soul tools.
In the following days, students from the Soul Guidance Department kept coming to the Martial Soul Department to intentionally or unintentionally pass by the first-year students. Some senior girls even wanted to have a private chat with Ye Nanxiao. As a result, Jiang Nannan pinched Ye Nanxiao's fox ears quite often.
Tang Ya has been asking Ye Nanxiao a lot about forging soul tools lately, but she's not very interested in other aspects of soul tools. It's all because Ye Nanxiao has been pressuring her to learn.
"Nanxiao, what do you mean we can only develop stealthily right now? Can we really learn about soul tools at the same time? We're both martial soul type." Tang Ya slumped on the table with a look of utter despair, while Bei Bei next to her looked equally puzzled.
"Well, for now, the first thing is ourselves. Only when we grow strong enough can we act openly and honestly. Of course, it will take a while, but believe me, I will handle everything well," Ye Nanxiao said earnestly.
Ye Nanxiao's current goal is to improve his own cultivation level. Only by improving it will the resistance decrease.
Tang Ya frowned slightly, opened her mouth, but then closed it. Ye Nanxiao smiled and said, "Of course there is another way."
Tang Ya instantly perked up. Reviving the sect was Tang Ya's greatest wish. Ye Nanxiao decided to do everything he could to help this little girl who put the Tang Sect first.
"Let's cooperate with the academy," Ye Nanxiao said somewhat helplessly.
After thinking for a moment, Bei Bei couldn't help but frown and say, "But if that's the case, the Tang Sect will be under the command of Shrek Academy for a long time, and the debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay."
"So, we're waiting for someone," Ye Nanxiao said mysteriously.
Everyone was puzzled. Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?
The people Ye Nanxiao was referring to were naturally Huo Gua. Only after Huo Gua was accepted as a disciple of Dragon God Douluo would Shrek Academy be willing to help Tang Sect rise to power. Although there was another path, Ye Nanxiao did not intend to mention it at the moment.
"I think it's better for us to rely on ourselves," Tang Ya said, frowning.
"If it's just Shrek Academy, there will indeed be a lot of favors owed, so we need to make an equal exchange," Ye Nanxiao said mysteriously.
"Nanxiao, stop keeping me in suspense," Beibei said helplessly.
"It's simple. What if the Tang Sect were to be responsible for the safety and combat effectiveness of the academy during every mission?" Ye Nanxiao, like a shrewd businessman, was just short of waving his nine tails.
"You mean, we sell hidden weapons to the academy?" Beibei thought for a moment and quickly realized what was going on.
Tang Ya slapped her forehead. "How could I not have thought of that? Quick, quick, does Nan Xiao have a specific plan?"
Tang Ya would hardly have considered this method before, because she herself had entered Shrek Academy using a spot from the Tang Sect, and she was afraid that she would fall behind in her studies, as she spent all her time on cultivation. But now it's different. They are all core disciples of the Martial Soul system, and their chances of entering the inner academy are greater than 50%.
"But we Tang Clan's hidden weapons require learning the Hundred Secrets of Hidden Weapons before we can use them," Tang Ya quickly became troubled again.
"Soul tools can be used by ordinary people without soul power, and naturally, hidden weapons can be used as well," Ye Nanxiao said confidently. Although he was not good at forging, He Caitou and Huo Gua were. Moreover, the main problem was the core magic array. In this aspect, Ye Nanxiao had a shining golden finger, so there was basically no pressure.
"However, we all need to improve our strength as soon as possible. The plan can only officially begin once we reach the Soul King level." Ye Nanxiao's words filled Tang Ya with hope.
Seeing Tang Ya's energetic appearance, Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, "This girl was already a Soul Master when she discovered her dark talent, right? She still had time."
The only way to solve Tang Ya's talent of devouring life is through the Blue Silver Emperor, whose bloodline is even purer. As for where the Blue Silver Emperor is, Ye Nanxiao needs to recall and prepare carefully, since "planning" for a 100,000-year-old soul beast to sacrifice for you is not an easy thing.
If all else fails, put it in a sack and take it away; a beating will make it behave.
