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

Chapter 227 Shrek the F***er
It wasn't just the Shrek Academy team that was having a meeting; almost all the participating academies were mobilizing their teams at that moment.

The same applies to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which shares the same floor as Shrek Academy.

They almost always came in second place in every major competition, so the treatment they received at the Star Emperor Hotel was almost the same as that at Shrek Academy.

Their only goal is to strive for first place.

Inside the meeting room, two elderly men sat at the head of the table, their faces looking quite grim.

It was clear that Shrek Academy's decision to send only seven reserve members to register was seen as a sign of contempt for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Damn Shrek, they think they are..."

Just as the old man angrily slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and began to curse,

"Rumble——————"

A deafening roar instantly echoed from the next room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's conference room.

The next moment, a terrifying impact traveled through the walls, shattering all the windows of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's conference room, sending shards of glass flying everywhere.

The entire conference room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the row of shattered windows, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

Is this some kind of soul master who unleashed a powerful soul skill at the Star Emperor Hotel, or did someone actually set off a fixed-position soul-guided cannon in a hotel room?
Everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was stunned, and many junior soul masters in the reserve team subconsciously activated their defensive soul tools.

Soul battles are strictly prohibited within the Star Emperor Hotel. Violators will be warned at best and disqualified from the competition at worst. This is a rule that all students from the academy must abide by when registering for the competition.

That's why no one expected that staying at the Star Emperor Hotel would cause such a commotion.

"The sound... the sound seems to be coming from Shrek Academy's conference room."

Just then, Ma Rulong, the captain of the regular team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, finally came to his senses and pointed out the source of the sound.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Old Ma, who was leading the team, had a bright idea in his eyes.

"Come on, come on, everyone come with me, come on, come on."

After saying this, Old Ma called for the dozen or so trainees from the regular and reserve teams to stand up, and then stormed out the door.

At this moment, all the students in the Shrek reserve team were completely dumbfounded.

The five members of the reserve team had just finished their meeting and returned to their rooms when they heard the loud noise. They came out looking bewildered.

This puzzled the students of the Sun Moon Empire. They couldn't understand what was going on, judging from the reactions of the Shrek Academy students.
However, they came here specifically to cause trouble.

Aren't you Shrek people arrogant? Didn't you only send seven people to sign up?
Alright, if we can get one or two people from Shrek Academy disqualified from the competition during this opportunity, let's see if Shrek Academy will still be so arrogant.

Soon, Shrek Academy's reserve team members and a group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy hurriedly headed towards the conference room, which was already surrounded by Star Luo's official staff.

"What's going on? The Star Emperor Hotel is full of Soul Masters. Someone could be cultivating at any time. Soul Skills and Soul Tools are not allowed. Who doesn't understand any rules?"

Soon, a tall female manager wearing high heels walked into the crowd.

The female manager was dressed in a sharp black uniform, her long, dark hair piled high, and she wore black-rimmed glasses; she looked quite capable. At this moment, a dark expression flashed across her fair face, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with the sudden turn of events.

"Supervisor, it looks like it was done by a Shrek Academy student."

Just then, a staff member whispered to the female supervisor about the situation.

"Even if it was done by Shrek Academy?"

The female manager's originally frosty expression froze. If people from other colleges dared to cause such a commotion at the Star Emperor Hotel, it wouldn't be easy to let this go without firing a few people.

But if it were Shrek—that wouldn't work, since the political implications would have to be considered.

"What's wrong with the Shrek Academy members? They used powerful soul tools in a soul battle at the Star Emperor Hotel, which is a violation of the tournament rules. Shouldn't this be handled officially?"

The next moment, a handsome young man who was not yet fifteen years old slowly spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone.

This person is none other than Xiao Hongchen, the reserve team captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team.

"That's right, brother. Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy hasn't even lit a soul-guided cannon in the conference room yet. How much of an addiction do those Shrek Academy students have to lit firecrackers in the conference room?"

Soon, a beautiful girl with long, wine-red hair came out and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Her hair was the color of fine wine, but her eyes were ice blue, giving her an eerie and somewhat dangerous look.

It's obvious that the other party is Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen's younger sister.

Upon seeing this, the female supervisor felt completely overwhelmed. It was obvious that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's words were intended to escalate the situation.

As strong challengers to Shrek Academy and perennial runners-up in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, they would never pass up this opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, our students are practicing their boxing. We're sorry for the trouble."

Just then, Wang Yan stepped out, holding a stack of Gold Soul Coin cards with a face value of 10,000 each: "I am Wang Yan, the team leader of Shrek Academy. These Gold Soul Coin cards are to be given to the students from other academies whose cultivation has been affected."

"As for the damage to the hotel facilities, please provide an invoice. Shrek will pay for it. We are truly sorry."

Without saying a word, Wang Yan handed the stack of gold soul coin cards with a face value of 10,000 to the female manager who had her hair up and looked capable and mature. This immediately softened the female manager's tone.

This is a teacher from Shrek Academy, yet he speaks so politely.

And before she could even say anything, they had already prepared the compensation. Their attitude of admitting their mistake was so good, what could she possibly say?

The female manager quickly considered the pros and cons of continuing this charade.

This is the kind of thing that doesn't offer much profit. If it blows up, there's no reward for handling it well, and there are punishments for handling it poorly.

Wang Yan had taken out a card containing at least 100,000 gold soul coins, and it was right after lunchtime, so there were hardly any students cultivating.

Even if there were only a few students cultivating at that time, each student affected by the cultivation would receive a compensation, and after some bribes, the remaining amount would still be a huge sum of money that she couldn't earn in several years.

Since that's the case, it's better to go along with Shrek's offer; that way, you can keep your job and make some extra money on the side.
