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

Chapter 223 Moon's Annoyance

Besides the bad news that made Qian Duoduo need to take blood pressure medication to barely control himself from jumping up, there were also a few pieces of good news from the Soul Guidance Department that could turn a bad day into a good one.

For example, the level 5 and level 6 defensive soul tools that the Soul Guidance System mandated to be equipped to Ma Xiaotao and others made a great contribution.

If the Soul Guidance Department hadn't specifically required Ma Xiaotao and the others to equip themselves with these defensive soul tools and then write an evaluation report after using them, the students from the Inner Academy would probably be doomed this time.

That's why some people saw Elder Mu holding those broken fragments of defensive soul tools all day yesterday, seemingly lost in thought.

When they heard the news, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er were completely dumbfounded.

When did they equip Ma Xiaotao and the others with defensive soul tools?

A level 5 defensive soul tool costs at least 10,000 gold soul coins!

Their Soul Guidance Department only receives a small amount of funding from the academy each year, which is barely enough to cover normal expenses. Yet they're spending tens of thousands of gold soul coins at once just to collect a few questionnaires.
Later, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er learned that Chen Ping had obtained a batch of defensive soul tools from the Soul Guidance Department's warehouse in Qian Duoduo's name and equipped them to the students of the Inner Court.

Although Chen Ping did this without informing anyone, judging from Elder Mu's reaction yesterday, the entire Soul Guidance Department probably owes Chen Ping a huge favor.

Mu Lao's voice, devoid of any discernible emotion, rang out: "Speak, Xuanzi, what is the purpose of your proposal to convene the Sea God Pavilion meeting?"

Elder Xuan nodded sadly and slowly stood up: "Everyone already knows about this incident. This is not the first time a problem has occurred while I was leading the team. As the leader, I bear the responsibility."

"Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as Vice-Captain of the Shrek Academy Oversight Committee, withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion, relinquish all the rights granted to me by the academy, and surrender all my private property as atonement. I have failed the academy's cultivation and the trust it placed in me."

Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, everyone was astonished. It was known that his status within the academy was second only to Elder Mu, who sat on the reclining chair. He was an absolute elder of the academy, and his cultivation was nearly on par with Elder Mu's.

If Elder Mu passes away, then he will be the first in line to succeed Elder Sea God. Only then will it be Elder Lin's turn.

The head of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team is Elder Mu, and there is only one deputy head, Elder Xuan.

For nearly fifty years, all the most outstanding disciples of the inner academy who have represented the academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament have been trained by Elder Xuan.

Who could have predicted that he would suddenly announce his resignation from all his positions and relinquish all his rights?
Yan Shaozhe was shocked and said, "Elder Xuan, how can this be? No one can guarantee that something won't go wrong, and besides, the responsibility this time is not entirely yours."

"Who could have predicted that the Death Hand bandit gang would collude with two Evil Soul Douluos?"

"Elder Xuan, you are one of the pillars of the academy. The academy cannot do without you!"

Elder Xuan didn't say anything more to Yan Shaozhe. Instead, he waved his hand, stood up, and knelt heavily before Elder Mu.

"Master Mu, I was wrong, please punish me. I was foolish, lazy, and blindly arrogant, treating the lives of the students of the academy as if they were nothing."

At this point, Xuanzi choked up for a moment.

"If Chen Ping hadn't taken everything into consideration this time, and had managed to stall until Zhong Litian, the Evil Soul Douluo, suffered a backlash, thanks to his quick thinking and the use of the soul tool, I might have only brought back eight corpses from this inspection mission."

"By the time I carved through the mountain and rushed into the cave, everything had already been settled. I missed everything. Chen Ping, who had risked his life to absorb the spirit ring, didn't say anything; he just smiled."

At this point, Xuanzi's face was filled with bitterness and shame.

"Those two laughs of Chen were like knives, each one stabbing straight into my heart."

“I don’t even dare to look at Chen, I don’t dare to say a word to him. I feel ashamed, I am guilty.”

"The future of the academy was almost completely ruined in my hands. This is not the first time. I am to blame for creating such a terrible situation." Large tears streamed down his face, staining his clothes.

This was the first time Xuanzi had cried like a child, her eyes bloodshot.

The next moment, Xuanzi raised his right hand and suddenly slashed at his thigh, as if he wanted to tear off all the soul bones from his body.

"Alright! What do you take the Sea God Pavilion for?!"

boom!
As he spoke, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed from Mu En's body, slapping Elder Xuan away and forcibly interrupting Elder Xuan's bone-removing action. The slap sent Xuanzi spinning three times in mid-air.

Elder Xuan's body trembled slightly. What made his heart tremble even more than Elder Mu's actions was Mu En's question, which sounded like that of a withered dragon in its twilight years.

At this moment, not only was Elder Xuan's heart trembling, but everyone else's hearts also trembled. They subconsciously looked at Elder Mu, who looked like an angry old dragon, but upon closer inspection, no expression could be seen at all.

How many years has it been since they've seen Old Master Mu so angry?

How many years has it been since we've seen Elder Mu display his domineering presence, his supreme authority over all under heaven?

Such a slap, which showed no respect for Elder Xuan, is enough to prove just how angry Elder Mu is right now.

Mu En's words just now reminded everyone that the former Dragon God Douluo was not the retired old man who had been watching the students come and go in front of the dormitory for decades.

"Go back to your seat and stay there. I told you to get back to your seat."

Mu En looked at Xuan Zi, who was stunned by the slap, and snorted coldly.

Although he was extremely unwilling, he eventually turned back, sat back in his seat, and lowered his head.

Even the others, sensing the anger in Elder Mu's tone, unconsciously sat up straight. They all fell silent, too terrified to utter a sound.

"Elder Mu, isn't saying this too hurtful to him?"

Seeing that Mu En, though expressionless, was clearly furious, Old Lin mustered his courage and offered a word of advice.

"hurt"

Mu En had barely uttered a word when he saw that the person trying to persuade him was Lin Huiqun, and he forced himself to suppress his anger.

His usually gentle gaze turned icy at this moment: "Xuanzi, what disappointed me most about today's meeting was not your laziness, nor your lack of concern for the students in the inner courtyard."

"What disappoints me most about you is that at over two hundred years old, you still think about deserting after making mistakes. Before this, have I ever said a single bad word about you?"

"What, you're afraid to admit you did something wrong? Let me punish you by removing your bones right off the bat, huh?"

At this point, Mu En picked up the teacup on the table, panting heavily for a while. He still gave Xuanzi a little face and didn't smash the teacup directly on the other person's head. Instead, he threw the cup on the ground.

The crisp sound of the teacup shattering sent a shiver down the spines of all the elders in the Sea God Pavilion.

"If everyone were as cowardly as you, only knowing how to run away, then there would be no point in continuing to run Shrek Academy."

“You’re right. You’re no longer suitable to be the vice-captain of the Shrek Academy’s supervisory group. After this competition, you’re going to teach at the outer academy.”
