"This child must be Su Wen, he has the potential to join our Soul Guidance Department."
A tall, slender, and capable woman with a single ponytail looked at Su Wen, her eyes shining.
"Hmph, nonsense. This child's Martial Soul is the Beast Tamer, what does that have to do with your Soul Guidance Department."
Another woman, with a scholarly air, short, half-gray hair, but full of energy, chuckled as she looked at a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty.
The large conference hall contained only these four no seats.
Most likely, it was Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe.
And next to Xian Lin'er was a large, chubby man wearing glasses, his narrowed eyes gleaming with cunning, but upon seeing Su Wen's gaze, he quickly flashed a simple, honest smile.
Shrek Academy's number one Soul Guidance Master, Qian Duoduo.
Standing beside Yan Shaozhe was a gentle and beautiful woman who gave Su Wen a sweet smile; this must be Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Spirit Department.
Just mentioning Cai Meier made Su Wen want to complain.
She was worlds apart from Elder Xuan.
In the original story, both of them led teams into the Star Dou Great Forest once.
Both encountered a crisis (the three evil spirit masters Zhongli brothers), but the results were vastly different.
Although the latter's team had three overpowered members (Huo Qiudong), it was undeniable that Cai Meier took meticulous care of the team throughout, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Honestly, for this 100,000-year spirit beast calamity, he would have preferred Cai Meier to lead the team rather than Xuan Zi, even though this vice dean's strength was only that of an ordinary Title Douluo…
Having a teacher and not having one—it's all the same!
However, it also showed that Shrek Academy was generally reliable, except for that one person surnamed Xuan.
Seriously, I'm not afraid of the Sun Moon Empire racking its brains, I'm just afraid of our Chicken Leg Elder coming up with a brilliant idea.
"Alright, stop arguing."
Elder Mu was pushed to the head of the table by Su Wen in his golden wooden wheelchair, and his hunched body straightened up slightly.
"Which academy Xiao Wen joins in the future is his own business.
There are still at least five or six years until then, what's the rush."
"Yes, Elder Mu."
The two immediately stopped their arguing, but still secretly stared at Su Wen with "silly smiles."
Obviously, they both knew each other's character.
If they didn't act soon, Su Wen would probably be completely infatuated with the other party in six years!
Elder Mu shook his head and ignored them.
Su Wen remained expressionless.
The two deans were competing, so they had to show some sincerity, right?
He only needed to sit back and enjoy the resources provided by the two deans.
As for which academy to join of course, it would be the Martial Soul Department.
If this were the Sun Moon Empire, he might hesitate, but this was Shrek Academy!
The difference in soul guidance level between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy was like heaven and earth.
What would he do in the Soul Guidance Department? Eat dirt?
After all, although the Soul Guidance Department had Elder Mu's support, its resources, teaching standards, and teacher quality were far inferior to the Martial Soul Department, and it was even being beaten down.
The current Martial Soul System inherits tens of thousands of years of honor.
Although it is somewhat bloated internally and its foundation is somewhat rotten, it is undeniably still incredibly wealthy.
Even a single hair plucked from it is far more valuable than that of the Soul Guidance System.
"Today's matter mainly concerns what happened a month ago when Xuanzi led a team to the Star Dou Great Forest and encountered a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast."
Mu En's eyes slowly sharpened, staring intently at Xuanzi like an eagle.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.
All the elders looked at Xuanzi, their gazes filled with helplessness, regret, and anger at his lack of ambition.
"Elder Mu, everyone, I wish to resign from my positions as Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion and Vice Head of the Supervisory Group.
I am a sinner of the academy; I do not deserve to remain here" Xuanzi hung his head, his shoulders seemingly burdened by a heavy mountain, causing him to bend even more.
As he spoke, Xuanzi slowly stood up, and under everyone's gaze, took out a badge from his pocket, gently wiped it, and placed it on the table.
"Elder Xuan, this isn't your fault! It's all cough cough, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, especially since this time, thanks to Xiao Wen's heroic efforts, no one from our academy died, and those who were seriously injured were quickly treated.
Elder Zhuang said they're fine and it won't affect their future cultivation," Yan Shaozhe said sincerely, though he realized halfway through that no one could take the blame, but thankfully he managed to smooth things over.
"Yes, Elder Xuan, you're a pillar of the academy.
If you left, what would happen if enemies attacked from the outside? Besides, although this trip was dangerous, the result was good.
We should focus on rewards, not punishments."
On this matter, Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe rarely reached a consensus.
What they said was also sincere.
Nonsense, if Elder Xuan left, and Elder Mu got into trouble, would you carry the Shrek Academy banner?
You couldn't!
"Xuanzi, are you throwing a tantrum at me? Are you quitting?" Mu En's tone was calm, but everyone present felt an invisible pressure.
"Elder Mu, you know I'm not like that..." Xuanzi said bitterly.
"So, you mean I wronged you?" Mu En said softly.
"No, I" Xuanzi opened his mouth.
"Then get back to work!" Mu En suddenly roared.
"Act like a man, shoulder some responsibility! Thinking of running away when something goes wrong, believe me, even though my strength isn't what it used to be, I can still beat you like a spinning top!" Mu En slammed his hand on the table.
"Clean up your own mess."
"Also you should thank Su Wen properly." Mu En's tone softened. "He saved you this time.
If it weren't for Xiao Wen holding back that Bloodthirsty Demon Tiger at the crucial moment, hmph, you'd be paying with your death."
"Yes!"
Xuanzi forced a smile onto his bitter face.
He nodded apologetically to Su Wen.
Su Wen smiled in response.
Inwardly, however, he thought to himself: "You little brat, I'll keep you in check for life..."
Seeing this, many elders cast curious glances at Su Wen.
Their gazes softened, as if they were looking at their own bloodline descendant.
Resolute, decisive, and calm under pressure—aren't these all the qualities a leader should possess?
The chosen master of the Sea God Pavilion!
"Xuanzi, you've made a mistake.
The academy should punish you.
For ten years, you're forbidden from leading teams outside.
Your salary for the next ten years will be waived to compensate these children.
The academy will also provide additional subsidies, giving each seriously injured child a ten-thousand-year soul bone and each lightly injured child two million gold soul coins."
"If you want to earn money, go hunt soul beasts for others in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Also this time, because of your eating, you almost caused the entire group of children to be wiped out.
So, you'll be confined and starved for three months." Mu En said slowly.
"This" Yan Shaozhe was stunned.
He hadn't expected his teacher to be serious.
Even Su Wen was somewhat surprised.
For Xuanzi, wages and money were mere external things.
He could easily have money offered to him if he asked.
Being forbidden from leading teams was of no consequence to him.
Just when he thought Elder Mu would act as he expected, raising the stick high but letting it fall gently,came the words: "Starve for three months."
Three months wouldn't starve a level 98 Super Douluo to death, of course.
But Xuanzi's martial soul was the Gluttonous Divine Ox.
The more he ate, the faster his soul power increased; conversely the less he ate, even to the point of not eating, was nothing short of torture for him.
This torture was no different from the process of an addict quitting drugs.
Three months was enough to make Xuanzi wish he were dead.
The ultimate torture unique to the Gluttonous Divine Ox martial soul.
"Good"
Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief.
