Chapter 223 Golden Tree Punishment and Reward

Looking at the tall tree in the distance that was dozens of meters high and whose every leaf was emitting a hazy golden light, Lin Yun almost drooled.

Golden tree!

The source of life in the Douluo plane!
The energy level contained in this thing has definitely reached the god level, and it also has extremely nourishing light attributes and life attributes. If Lin Yun were to take a couple of bites of it with the Dragon's Bite, he couldn't imagine how delicious it would be.

Hmm... maybe it will have a hint of blue silver grass.

After all, Ah Yin is currently sleeping in the golden tree and taking over the life source of this Douluo plane. Isn't eating the golden tree equivalent to eating the Blue Silver Emperor?

Noticing Lin Yun's gaze, Xian Lin'er smiled and said, "See? That's our Shrek's treasure, the only golden tree in the entire Douluo Continent. If you become an inner court disciple, you will also have the opportunity to practice in the golden tree."

Although Lin Yun explicitly rejected her and stated that he would not join the Soul Guidance Department, he could still join the Martial Soul Department if the Soul Guidance Department didn't work out.

The open and secret struggles between the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department are all family matters. The most important thing is how to keep Lin Yun in Shrek.

The purpose of Xian Lin'er's words was to lay her cards on the table and tell you directly that Shrek has good stuff. As long as you join, you will be able to enjoy the feeling of the golden tree assisting your cultivation.

Get twice the result with half the effort.

The benefits of the golden tree are obvious. Just after landing on the Sea God Island and bathing in the light of the golden tree, everyone feels as if their soul power has become more active.

And this feeling became stronger and stronger as they got closer to the golden tree.

The one who sensed it most deeply among everyone was Huo Yuhao.

He was the only one with the worst innate ability. From the time he awakened his innate first-level soul power, it was not until he was almost twelve years old that he was promoted to the tenth level. He was the most sensitive to the speed of improvement in soul power cultivation.

The Titan Snow Demon is not as good as the Ice Empress and did not bring much potential improvement to Huo Yuhao. His innate ability did not recover to a very high level.

Even though he now has the Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul, his innate soul power is only at level seven at most.

This was all thanks to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the power bank, who was willing to use his essence to improve his extremely poor body to the level of a little genius.

This already made him very happy.

To use the metaphor of Huo Gua in the original novel, if his original cultivation speed was like sipping chrysanthemum tea with a small straw, now he has the assistance of Xuantian Gong, which is like pouring water into his mouth with a faucet, and with the assistance of the golden tree, it is like a fire hydrant super spray.

This made Huo Gua so greedy that he wished his eyes were hanging on the golden tree.

Obviously, Xian Lin'er noticed Huo Yuhao's expression. The faces of the others also showed some yearning. Only Ma Xiaotao, the rebellious disciple who opened Yan Shaozhe's back door, had no idea about the golden tree.

After all, she grew up in Shrek. If she didn't have the help of the golden tree, how could she have reached the terrifying level of 67 in the original novel at the age of less than 20 despite being hindered by the evil fire?
Her talent is not that good.

The benefits of the golden tree have been exhausted.

No one else, including Beibei, Moon's great-grandson, has the same treatment as Ma Xiaotao. Beibei can only go to the Golden Tree to practice occasionally.

The bait for accelerated cultivation is so delicious that almost no one can resist this temptation.

Just when Xian Lin'er was full of confidence and was about to see Lin Yun's reaction, she found that the expression on his face didn't change at all. There was no look of desire or yearning, and there was even a hint of disapproval in his eyes.

"?"

Xian Lin'er was confused.

Even the golden tree can't arouse your interest, Lin Yun!

No, no, no, it's impossible. This is absolutely impossible!

No one can resist the temptation of the golden tree!
To be honest, Shrek had accumulated a lot of wealth and good things because of the plundering over the past ten thousand years, but the most precious thing was the golden tree. Xian Lin'er could not accept Lin Yun's attitude that he even looked down on the golden tree, and she could not accept that others would disdain what she regarded as a treasure.

She didn't even dare to think too much. If even the golden tree couldn't convince Lin Yun, what else could Shrek have that was worthy of Lin Yun joining?

Xian Lin'er was silent for a long time, until she entered the Poseidon Pavilion, she came to her senses and sighed softly.

"Such a genius, why doesn't he belong to me, Shrek?"

At this time in the Poseidon Pavilion, except for Yan Shaozhe who was forced into seclusion and Xuan Zi who was forced to go to jail, all the elders had already sat in their seats. Xian Lin'er also walked out of the team and sat in her seat.

Since Yan Shaozhe was not there, Cai Meir became the host of the meeting.

"Welcome all the little heroes back to Shrek. Your performance in this competition was extremely outstanding and you successfully defended the glory of our Shrek. So this time we make an exception and reward you in the Poseidon Pavilion!" Cai Meir smiled and spoke softly, but her face turned stern the next second.

"Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Yao Haoxuan, step out!"

Ma Xiaotao took a step forward calmly. Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan were startled and followed Ma Xiaotao out.

"Do you know why I called you out first?" Cai Meir asked softly.

The three of them shook their heads at the same time, expressing their confusion.

However, Cai Meier's next words became serious: "Inner Court disciples Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Yao Haoxuan made fatal mistakes due to carelessness during the execution of the mission, which resulted in heavy casualties in the team's process of encircling and suppressing the evil soul master. They will be punished with a serious demerit!"

"Ah???" Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan were confused, but Ma Xiaotao remained calm and her expression did not change at all.

Her obsession was only to finish this tournament and win the championship. After completing her obsession, Lin Yun's slave mark also began to take effect. Now, apart from her emotional fluctuations due to Lin Yun, nothing else could affect her.

Unless someone can brainwash her again, and the kind of brainwashing that goes deep into her soul, covering up the slave mark planted by Lin Yun.

Otherwise Ma Xiaotao would only maintain Lin Yun's shape.

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Although Cai Meir's expression was not very scary, she was after all the vice-president of the Wuhun Department, and now the dean. In the hearts of Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan, she still had great prestige.

"Or do you think what I said is wrong? You are not freshmen who have just entered the inner courtyard. You have carried out many missions of the Supervisory Group, but those missions did not allow you to gain any experience. This is why you suffered such heavy losses when facing an evil soul master who is only at the Soul King level."

Ling Luochen and the other person opened their mouths and wanted to refute, but they had no way to refute.

Because Cai Meir was telling the truth.

It was one thing that Xuan Zi didn't rescue them in time, and it was another thing that they didn't take the Death Messenger seriously at all. If they had been cautious from the beginning, the losses would not have been as great as they are now. Chen Zifeng died, Xixi was disabled, Dai Yaoheng was disabled, Gong Yangmo was half disabled, and the remaining three of them were all injured.

Although the corpse explosion of the Death Messenger is awesome, they are elite disciples from Shrek's inner courtyard after all, and it is impossible for them to have no backup at all.

Such a huge loss occurred simply because they did not take the Messenger of Death seriously.

Arrogance is the original sin of destruction.

Cai Meir just silently observed the expressions of the three people in front of her. Except for Ma Xiaotao's consistent calmness which made her a little unpredictable, she was very satisfied with the reactions of Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan.

This is the right way. Only in this way can you make better contributions to Shrek.

Cai Meir didn't take Ma Xiaotao's performance to heart. Instead, she said that among these people, Ma Xiaotao was the one who was closest to her.

She was Yan Shaozhe's direct disciple, and herself was Yan Shaozhe's first wife. Cai Meir often dealt with Ma Xiaotao, and Ma Xiaotao always respected herself and called her "Master's Wife" sweetly.

Cai Meir didn't believe that Ma Xiaotao would go against her on such a matter.

Ma Xiaotao did not argue with Cai Meir and said quietly, "This is indeed our mistake, and it is also my fault as the team leader. I have no objection to the college's arrangement."

Seeing this, Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan also admitted their mistakes with great spirit.

Cai Meier nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied: "Although you made a big mistake this time, you made up for it in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition and defended the glory of Shrek, so this time your merits and demerits are offset."

"The major offense will still be retained, but it will not be recorded in your files as a warning. You must understand that no matter what time it is, staying alive is the first thing you need to consider!"

Lin Yun blinked and took a half step back imperceptibly.

Oh my god.

It really is Shrek.

After watching the whole process from beginning to end, he is now beginning to doubt his life.

When he read the original novel in his previous life, he already felt that the plot here was a bit cerebral thrombosis, but he didn't expect that now he would witness the scene of Shrek PUA people with his own eyes.

After all this time, they have been cleaning up your Shrek mess for free, hunting down evil soul masters all over the continent, maintaining your Shrek's image of compassion, purity, integrity and justice. It would have been fine if you didn't give them some rewards, but instead you suppress them like this?
What's more, shouldn't Xuanzi be blamed for the biggest part of this operation?

What about the old birth?

Lin Yun really doesn't believe that you Shrek people will suppress Xuan Zi the same way you suppressed Ma Xiaotao and the other two. Who knows, this old man might be hiding in some dark sewer, drinking and eating meat!

(Xuan Zi at the bottom of the golden tree: Hiccup~)

A serious warning will be given, but it will not be recorded in the file.

I worked so hard, completing missions and participating in competitions, but this is what I get when I come back?

Don’t say that the inner court disciples enjoy more resources than the outer court disciples, so the requirements are different from those of the outer court disciples. When you, Shrek, assign supervisory missions to the inner court disciples, aren’t you just taking advantage of these inner court disciples and treating them as tools?

Then isn't it only right that you, Shrek, pay him?
Tolerate……

I will endure!

Damn it, just smile for me!
"Puchi...Hahaha!" Lin Yun was totally stunned and laughed out loud. Then everyone, including many elders of the Poseidon Pavilion, looked at him.

Being watched by so many people at the same time made people feel a little shy. Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then laughed again when he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Student Lin Yun, can you tell me what you are laughing at?" Cai Meir looked at Lin Yun and asked in a gentle tone.

Geniuses always have privileges, and Lin Yun is no exception. He has even more privileges. Even if he laughs out loud in such a serious occasion, no one present would think he is ignorant.

The corners of Lin Yun's mouth twitched, and his serious expression instantly turned into a sunny and cheerful smile of a big boy.

"No, no, I personally admire President Cai very much. I have absolutely no intention of questioning President Cai. I just remembered something happy." Lin Yun waved his hand and said with a bright smile.

"Happy things? What happy things?" Cai Meir was directly misled by Lin Yun and asked him with curiosity on her face.

Although the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not speak, their eyes were always looking over here, and their ears perked up, obviously they were also very curious about Lin Yun's answer.

What can make you so happy?
Lin Yun did not disappoint them and said seriously, "My Ice Jade Scorpion seems to be pregnant."

"Ah?!"
"Puchi..." Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it in. She pursed her lips tightly, trying to hold back her laughter so much that her face turned red.

"What are you laughing at again?" This time, the one who asked Xiao Xiao was not Cai Meir, but Xian Liner, who had remained silent since entering the Poseidon Pavilion.

"The Ice Scorpion I raised seems to be pregnant too!" Xiao Xiao said in a serious tone.

"The Ice Jade Scorpion you raise... is it the same one?" Wu Feng, who was standing behind Xiao Xiao, came over and asked in a low voice.

"Ah... yes, yes!" Xiao Xiao kept a straight face, trying not to laugh again.

Cai Meir shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "After all, you are still not satisfied with the way I handled it or you don't understand it? Considering that you are all students from other colleges, I will explain it to you."

"As everyone knows, the admissions requirements for our Shrek Inner Academy are very high. Basically, if there are five students from the Outer Academy who meet the Inner Academy standards and are admitted to the Inner Academy out of every sixth-grade class, it's already a lot."

"In fact, the number of people in our inner courtyard has never exceeded three digits, and a large number of them are even student assistants or inner courtyard teachers. Moreover, the casualty rate of the inner courtyard inspection team's missions is extremely high. If I don't wake them up today, they will still rush forward without thinking the next time they encounter such a situation."

"Instead of being gentle now, it is better to let them know the harm of being arrogant now."

"Living is the most important thing."

Lin Yun didn’t know what others thought, but from their expressions he could tell that they were definitely being PUA’d severely.

The resentment on Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan's faces faded a lot, and was replaced by strong gratitude.

Too sexy...
