Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 200 Those War Producers Must Be Killed
The seven people in the inner courtyard and Wang Yan seemed to understand what Elder Xuan was going to say, but their expressions were solemn, and there seemed to be a special kind of pride in them.

Elder Xuan said, "Our Shrek Academy has a history of over ten thousand years."

"Generally speaking, our academy has students who pass the examinations and enter the inner academy almost every year."

"However, there are currently fewer than one hundred inner court disciples remaining in the academy. Do you know why?"

Xu Sanshi said, "Because the senior students have all graduated and left."

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "You're right about part of it. It's true that some inner court disciples left the academy after graduation. But I'm talking about another group, those disciples who didn't graduate from the academy."

"They are true heroes, the pride of the academy who sacrificed themselves for their ideals."

"We at Shrek Academy have never considered ourselves righteous, but we absolutely do not wish to see such a tragedy occur."

What Elder Xuan then recounted was largely about the powers of the Shrek Academy's supervisory committee, as well as the targets of its crackdowns and other related issues.

Listening to Elder Xuan's story, Chen Ping's expression was somewhat complicated.

He didn't know how to evaluate Shrek Academy's oversight system, because it was a political system that could never exist in a world without magic, such as his own Blue Star.

Chen Ping acknowledged that most of the members of the supervisory team were probably striving for their own ideals.

For example, the secret soul bone that Mu Jin gave him was obtained by the other party after killing the wolf bandits.

This race, whose only means of reproduction is through the rape of human women, deserves to be killed from any perspective.

The problem is that Shrek's inspection team not only kills evil spirit masters and wolf bandits, but they also go to other empires to suppress bandits and even kill corrupt officials who disregard human life.

Did they do anything wrong? Of course they did nothing wrong.

If Chen Ping were a local resident, he would probably just clap and cheer, shouting that Shrek's upright officials have arrived! The corrupt officials and notorious thieves that the Empire dares not kill, Shrek's people dare to kill!

It cannot be denied that doing so was a slap in the face to the ruling systems of the three great empires.

In the eyes of most bureaucrats of the three great empires, the Shrek Academy's inspectors were only good when they came out to kill evil spirit masters, since they really couldn't deal with evil spirit masters.

But what if they came to suppress bandits, or to kill corrupt officials?

This is terrible! It's a jinx! Whenever the Shrek Inspection Team arrives in a region, the local bureaucracy is thrown into chaos.

If the inspection team comes to suppress bandits, it means that the local officials have failed in their governance and that popular uprisings are breaking out everywhere. After the inspection team leaves, they will lose their official positions.

As for killing officials, needless to say, it's not even a question of whether they can keep their official hats; whether they can even keep their heads on their necks is another matter entirely.

Damn, how capable are you Shrek students?

Wherever he went, the people there welcomed him with open arms.

A vibrant scene of life, where all things flourish.

But what about us officials?
This is probably what is meant by "your position determines your perspective."

So, what if the lower-level bureaucrats of the three great empires of Douluo Continent don't like the inspection team?

The royal families and inner circle of those countries should welcome Shrek's inspection team with open arms, right?

An organization that provides free services, operates 365 days a year without rest, and has a stable workforce with its own food to help the empire defuse mines and remove toxins should be highly respected by all the major empires, right?

Actually, the answer is hard to say.

Admittedly, the existence of the Shrek Academy's oversight body is very helpful in maintaining stability within an empire and cleaning up the atmosphere of a system. However, this is tantamount to forcibly taking away a portion of the law enforcement, judicial, and personnel appointment and dismissal powers from each empire, making all three empires clearly feel that they have a powerful overlord above them.

Normally, whenever the Sun Moon Empire makes a move, or when an evil soul master appears, they call for Shrek Academy to take action.

But with the Sun Moon Empire and the Evil Soul Master gone, he immediately felt that Shrek Academy was simply deserving of death for being above him.

This is not to blame the three great empires for thinking this way, after all, power can corrupt people.

Anyone who sits in a position of power will become a pure political machine.

At this point, how can anyone tolerate the fact that the ruler of an empire has to share various political rights with an academy?

Even the Spirit Hall didn't go this far back then.

They're a religious organization, the kind that can launch holy wars and expeditions to the east!
Even so, the Spirit Hall only arrests evil spirit masters or fugitives like Zhao Wuji.

Then it's just forcing the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo Empires to spend money to provide subsidies to Soul Masters below the fourth ring.

The fact that royal children from various empires are gradually no longer enrolling in Shrek Academy but instead studying within their own empires reveals the different attitudes of each empire towards Shrek.

The Sun Moon Empire and the Evil Soul Masters are still around, Shrek Academy cannot fall.

However, they absolutely would not allow Shrek to continue expanding its influence.

As Elder Xuan continued his incessant chatter about the Shrek Academy's thirty missions, Chen Ping shook his head inwardly.

This bizarre system is a bit too advanced for a modern person like him.

The reason Shrek Academy's system has been able to continue operating is simply because Shrek's fists are big enough.

In Chen Ping's eyes, Shrek Academy should either go a step further and openly become the "father" of the three great empires, achieving a theocracy, so that no one would stop them from suppressing bandits and killing corrupt officials.

Either take a step back and return those rights to the three great empires, instead of claiming neutrality while interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

Shrek, who wanted to have his cake and eat it too, really went too far.

The senior students of the Inner Academy who sacrificed themselves for the beliefs and ideals of the Surveillance Corps deserve respect, and this does not conflict with the fact that Shrek Academy's Surveillance Corps had problems with its initial positioning.

This system of oversight bodies and Shrek needs to be changed!
“I must tell you that we are both inspectors and enforcers. Everything that the Shrek Inspection Team deals with is invariably difficult and extremely dangerous.”

"Some have even faced Title Douluo. Their lives could be in danger at any moment. Therefore, you must carefully consider whether you are willing to become a member of the inspection team."

At this point, Elder Xuan's expression turned serious as he looked at the seven reserve team members present.

Soon, Elder Xuan's gaze softened and became gratified, because none of the seven people present had wavering eyes; each of them exuded determination and perseverance.

Including Chen Ping.

Chen Ping understood the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" (meaning that if one's lips are gone, one's teeth will be cold).

No matter how problematic the inspection team may be, it is still the most effective defense mechanism against evil soul masters on the Douluo Continent.

Chen Ping knew all too well that the evil soul masters in the original work were mostly scoundrels. Ye Xishui's Death God Tower required the souls of tens of thousands of people as an energy source to fire a single shot; she was completely inhuman.

Since the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult are in cahoots, their ambition to annex the continent will not be suppressed just because Chen Ping pretends to be a coward. What is there for Chen Ping to hesitate about?

The best solution is to join the inspection team first and improve yourself. Once you are strong enough, you can directly crush those warmongers from the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire!
