Chapter 320 Sea God Pavilion Council.
Elder Mu, standing to the side, chuckled heartily, "Hehe! To be able to witness this little fellow grow up and find his own pursuit, I, as his teacher, have no regrets."
"Hehe! Yes, yes!" The elders nodded in agreement.
Wu Xuan's strength was already more than enough to be on equal footing with them, these old men and women. Naturally, they wouldn't put on airs of seniority.
Moreover, Wu Xuan might soon be their superior.
If you asked why Elder Mu wanted to see Wu Xuan participate in this Sea God's Fate event, it was probably to make up for his own regrets from his youth!
A young genius, achieving fame at a young age, Wu Xuan's experience was remarkably similar to his own.
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao, leaving without looking back, wasn't angry, but had other thoughts.
What she lost tonight, she would make up for tonight!! She never left regrets for tomorrow.
And with Xiao Xiao's strength, it was good enough if she could hold out for the first half of the night; the second half belonged to Wu Xuan.
Thinking this, Ma Xiaotao smiled, her mind already filled with countless indescribable images.
Wu Xuan walked through the air, the cool moonlight shining down, adding a touch of radiance to Xiao Xiao's fair and delicate skin in his arms.
Xiao Xiao leaned against Wu Xuan, slightly shy, her big eyes sparkling as she looked directly into his gaze, neither flinching nor looking away.
"Why are you looking at me like that!" Wu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Xuan! Thank you for participating in the Sea God's Fate tonight, giving me this unforgettable memory." As she spoke, Xiao Xiao raised her head and, in mid-air, at the edge of the Sea God Lake, kissed Wu Xuan passionately.
Wu Xuan, of course, didn't flinch, his arms around Xiao Xiao tightening their grip. This was perhaps the kind of satisfaction a young girl longed for, a feeling that adult women couldn't imagine.
Just like him and Ma Xiaotao, they only cared about the result; whatever the process, as long as it was right, was perfectly acceptable.
"Alright, get down! We're at the dorm entrance now," Wu Xuan said affectionately.
"Mmm~!" Xiao Xiao whimpered, snuggling closer to Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Xiao Xiao's actions, a smile playing on his lips as he carried her inside.
The night was long!
After a satisfying battle, Xiao Xiao was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. Just as Wu Xuan stretched and prepared to sleep, a soft sound of a door opening suddenly rang out.
"Squeak~!"
Wu Xuan sat up abruptly, alert. Who dared to break into his dorm in the middle of the night?
Just as Wu Xuan was about to turn on his soul-guiding lamp to investigate, an incredibly familiar aura entered his senses.
"Xiao Tao!?" Wu Xuan called softly.
"Mmm~!" Ma Xiao Tao responded softly, then climbed onto the bed and lay back in Wu Xuan's arms, her little hands becoming restless.
"Give it to me!" Ma Xiao Tao's slightly panting voice clearly reached Wu Xuan's ears.
"What?" Wu Xuan was shocked. Was it really that open? Xiao Xiao was still lying next to him, and there was even a Snow Emperor in Xiao Xiao's spiritual sea!
"Don't you want to? Besides, isn't it much more interesting here than when we go out?" As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao forcefully pushed Wu Xuan down.
This pressure ignited Wu Xuan's competitive spirit. "How many times have I defeated you? Do you think you can turn the tables on me?"
"Bring it on!"
Another battle began. This scene stunned even the Snow Emperor within Xiao Xiao's spiritual sea. "Is this human really so despicable? He was just professing love, and now he's already seeing another woman, right next to his current one."
Early morning sunlight streamed into the room, illuminating the bed. Perhaps exhausted, Xiao Xiao was still fast asleep. Just moments before, at dawn, Ma Xiaotao had left the room contentedly, even giving him a "good job" look before she left.
Wu Xuan yawned, then refreshed himself and began washing up. What was there to be tired about with just two people? He could handle two more!
"Bang, bang, bang." A knock suddenly sounded at the door, just as Wu Xuan finished washing up.
He quickly opened the door, and standing outside was Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Wu Xuan with a half-smile and said, "Young man, youth is still good. You two must have had quite a blast last night."
Wu Xuan just smiled at this. "Senior Brother, I'm all ready. Let's go see our teacher!"
"Alright! The elders are already at the Sea God Pavilion. It's good to go early." Yan Shaozhe nodded.
The two set off, and Wu Xuan grabbed two steamed cakes for breakfast while passing by the canteen. Just as Yan Shaozhe had said, upon entering the Sea God Pavilion, both sides of the long table were already filled with the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Sitting at the head of the table was Elder Mu.
After Wu Xuan sat down, Elder Mu signaled to Elder Xuan that the meeting could begin.
Elder Xuan stood up, picked up the wine gourd beside him, took a swig, and said, "There are still more than three months until the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. I believe you've all heard about it, haven't you, little guy?"
"Yes! I have indeed heard about it!" Wu Xuan nodded.
"Just a basic understanding is enough! There are two things to discuss at this meeting. The first is how to participate in the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. The second is how to choose your eighth soul ring, little one." Elder Xuan finished speaking and took a swig of wine from his gourd.
He continued, "Not long ago, the academy received some news from Mingdu. This news is not good for the academy. The new Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament will be held in the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire recently consulted with the three kingdoms originally from the Douluo Continent, wanting to change the tournament's format to some extent. They are also widely soliciting opinions from numerous academies and sects across the continent."
"Change the format?" Elder Qin's eyes narrowed.
Elder Xuan said, "Yes, they're changing the competition format. First, they want to change the eligibility criteria. The age limit remains unchanged, still under twenty. That doesn't matter much. But they've expanded the scope to include all sects. In other words, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will be changed to the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Tournament. The number of participating teams will also increase significantly. If the new format is approved, the number of participating teams will at least double."
"Elder Xuan, what are your thoughts?" Wu Xuan asked curiously. With his current strength, he didn't really take this tournament seriously.
"It's like this, Bei Bei. Yu Hao believes this tournament is a good opportunity for the Tang Sect, so they applied to the Sea God Pavilion to represent the Tang Sect!" Elder Xuan said calmly.
"Represent the Tang Sect?" Wu Xuan's expression immediately darkened. He had absolutely no goodwill towards the Tang Sect, and he didn't even want to hear those two words.
"Xiao Xuan! As a member of the Sea God Pavilion, and the future successor to the Pavilion Master, I, as your teacher, want to hear your opinion!" Elder Mu, who was resting with his eyes closed, spoke up.
Wu Xuan shook his head slightly. "I have no objection. Let them go if they want. The academy's absence won't affect the competition. However, as the captain of the academy's team, I want to personally select the participants!"
Wu Xuan continued, raising his eyes. "Also, it's been almost five years now, and their Shrek Seven Devils status should be revoked. This needs to be made clear to them."
"It would be great if Xiao Xuan were willing to participate," Qian Duoduo chimed in.
"Revoking their titles isn't a problem either. Except for Xiao Xuan, whose title is permanent, the other six only have five years' worth of usage rights, and it's almost time to revoke them," Elder Qin nodded.
"Alright! Then the first matter of this council meeting is decided: agree to Huo Yuhao and the others' request, and re-select a new batch of Shrek Seven Devils," Elder Xuan concluded.
