Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 246 Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, Major Reforms of the Blue Lightning Sect
A few days later, the Shrek group arrived at Grayrock Academy.

The Limestone Academy is located at the foot of Limestone Mountain outside Tiandou City. The buildings are gray and look like a huge rock from a distance, blending into the mountain.

The plaque above the academy gate was faded, and there wasn't even a disciple guarding the entrance.

The Shrek Seven Devils stood in front of the academy gate, each with a different expression.

Ma Hongjun's lips twitched: "This...this is Gray Rock Academy? How can it be so dilapidated?"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly: "This is just a casual way of dismissing us! I thought it would at least be on par with the Four Elements Academy!"

Ning Rongrong felt wronged, her eyes lowered, and she dared not utter a sound.

They had initially assured the Shrek family that the Seven Treasures Sect would at least arrange a decent place for them, but now, this Gray Rock Academy was indeed far from their initial expectations.

Oscar quickly spoke up for Rongrong: "It may be a bit old, but that doesn't hinder our cultivation."

Tang San calmly replied, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it."

Flander pushed up his glasses and chuckled dryly, "Ahem, although the place is a bit run-down, at least we have a place to stay. Let's go in and take a look."

As the dean, this was the best benefit he could secure for everyone.

As soon as everyone stepped into the academy, a short, stout middle-aged man greeted them with a broad smile:

"This must be Dean Flander, right? Hello, hello! I'm Shi Lei, the Dean of Gray Rock Academy!"

Flander forced a smile: "Dean Shi, I apologize for disturbing you."

Shi Lei warmly shook Flander's hand: "Not at all! Sect Leader Ning's friend is my friend! Come, come, let me show you around the academy!"

The subsequent "visit" left the Shrek members even more speechless.

The academy's simulated training grounds are small and few in number, the dormitory beds creak, and the food in the canteen is bland and watery.

But Shi Lei was full of confidence: "Although our academy has limited resources, the students are all very hardworking! With your participation, we will definitely be able to make it to the finals of the next Soul Master Competition!"

He had known about the Shrek Seven Devils' soul power levels for a long time, which undoubtedly added a powerful team to their academy.

However, his wishful thinking about the merger of Shrek Academy's teachers and students was just wishful thinking.

In the eyes of the Shrek students, they didn't bother to lower their status and merge into this small Gray Rock Academy.

At night, in the dormitory.

The Shrek Seven Devils gathered together, and none of them looked too happy.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke up: "We Shrek Academy students have always had our own pride. Although we are temporarily joining Gray Rock Academy, we cannot forget our identity! Starting tomorrow, we will train separately."

Flander nodded in agreement: "That's right! You must never forget that you are the Shrek Seven Devils! We are a group."

So, in the days that followed, the Shrek Seven Devils, under the guidance of Yu Xiaogang, began their "unconventional" training.

They disdained attending classes with the students of the Limestone Academy and would go to the back mountain of the academy to cultivate on their own before dawn every day.

The students at the Limestone College were discussing this extensively.

"Who are those people? They eat and live with us, but they don't attend classes with us?"

"Those teachers are strange too, they only taught those seven people."

"I heard they were sent by Sect Leader Ning, and their name is Shrek..."

Shrek students and teachers turned a deaf ear to these rumors.

They only cared about their own cultivation and disdained associating with the teachers and students of Gray Rock Academy. They even set aside a "private area" on campus, prohibiting students from Gray Rock Academy from approaching, claiming that they had cultivation methods exclusive to masters and could not be passed on to outsiders.

Shi Lei could only smile wryly at this, after all, he still had to give Ning Fengzhi face.

……

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.

The morning sun shone through the clouds, illuminating the magnificent palaces of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Its golden light reflected off the dragon-shaped statue in the sect's plaza, making it shine brilliantly.

Inside the council hall, a host of elders and deacons were already seated, the atmosphere solemn and dignified.

A few days ago, the news that Yu Xiaolie had swallowed the Bone Douluo alive and overpowered Jian Chenxin swept through the entire Tiandou City like thunder. Now, it has reached the heart of the Blue Lightning Sect, making even these elders, who are used to seeing storms, feel their hearts surge with excitement.

It is said that Ning Fengzhi paid a full 1 billion gold soul coins to ransom the person, and there are also rumors that the Seven Treasures Sect sold off a lot of its assets, and the amount handed over to Yu Xiaolie is estimated to be 15 billion gold soul coins.

At this moment, Yu Xiaolie, dressed in a dark blue robe with silver dragon patterns embroidered on the cuffs, slowly walked towards the main seat.

His steps were steady, his gaze calm, but with each step he took, it seemed to carry an invisible pressure, causing everyone present to involuntarily hold their breath.

This was the first sect meeting convened by Yu Xiaolie since he became sect leader. Below the stage, the crowd exchanged glances, their expressions varied.

Some felt awe, some worshipped, but most were simply curious, wondering how this new sect leader would behave.

"Elders," Yu Xiaolie's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, echoing in the hall like a dragon's roar, "I have summoned you all here today to announce several reform measures."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and a strand of soul power condensed into a light screen that floated in mid-air, on which several new rules were clearly listed.

"First, open the Thunder Valley behind the sect to disciples of level 70 and above for cultivation. Those at the Soul Douluo level can directly enter the Thunder Prison for cultivation. All elders are no exception; in addition to being responsible for sect affairs, they must devote themselves to cultivation."

If any elder performs poorly in the area they are responsible for within the sect, and their cultivation progresses slowly, such as failing to break through to the Title Douluo level for an extended period, they will be directly dismissed from their posts and stripped of their elder status!

"Wow—"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Many of the elderly elders looked ashen-faced.

"Sect Master... this..."

Yu Luomian frowned and couldn't help but speak up, "Thunder Valley and Thunder Prison are forbidden areas of the sect. Opening them up rashly is probably not appropriate, is it?"

The Fifth Elder quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Sect Master, how easy is it to break through to the Title Douluo level? Isn't this too strict?"

Yu Xiaolie glanced at them indifferently: "Are you worried that there won't be enough lightning energy to go around in the back mountain, or are you worried that you won't be able to break through?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian and the Fifth Elder froze, speechless.

Thunder Valley and Thunder Prison are excellent simulated cultivation environments for the Blue Lightning Sect. However, in the early days, many disciples suffered from qi deviation and their cultivation levels declined. Therefore, the sect issued a rule strictly prohibiting disciples from entering at will, and only allowing the sect leader and meritorious elders to enter.

But such an approach is tantamount to throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The Blue Lightning Sect is simply not ruthless enough. On one hand, it disdains to curry favor with the Heavenly Dou Empire and its nobles like the Seven Treasures Sect in order to gain opportunities for economic development.

On the one hand, they didn't train hard enough, which resulted in their combat strength being far inferior to that of the Haotian Sect.

If there were no sect affairs, and if the Clear Sky Sect had encountered a change like in the original work, and the entire sect had closed its mountains and gone into seclusion to focus on cultivation, all the elders could have broken through to the Title Douluo level one after another.

But the Blue Lightning Sect is currently in a limbo, lacking both financial resources and combat strength.

"Second, increase the expansion efforts and allow other sects to become affiliated sects of the Blue Lightning Sect after passing the assessment, and enjoy preferential resource treatment."

At the same time, generous benefits will be offered to attract ordinary Soul Masters to join, but the assessment standards must be stricter, and quality over quantity will be strictly controlled.

"Third, acquire major lightning essence stone and other mineral veins on the mainland to monopolize mineral resources and enhance the sect's financial strength."

The series of reform measures were like a thunderclap, leaving the elders and deacons present dizzy.

"Sect Master, this requires a lot of financial support!" the Seventh Elder couldn't help but interject. "Although our sect is one of the top three sects, expanding this much at once might be..."

"You don't need to worry about the money."

Yu Xiaolie interrupted him directly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"This……"

The elders exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not expecting Yu Xiaolie to have such grand ambitions.

The Third Elder couldn't help but question, "Sect Master, with so many things going on at the same time, how can we possibly manage the sect and cultivate ourselves? I'm afraid..."

The Sixth Elder also promptly voiced his difficulties: "Sect Master, I also have to oversee the teaching and management of Blue Tyrant Academy, isn't that...?"

Yu Xiaolie's gaze turned cold, and he slowly said:
"If you feel you can't do it, you can quit now."

The sect does not tolerate useless people. Whether it is cultivation or affairs, those who cannot keep up with the pace will be removed from the management.

The Third Elder and the Sixth Elder turned deathly pale instantly, and dared not say another word.

"..."

The atmosphere in the hall was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

Yu Xiaolie looked around at everyone, his tone calm:

"Gentlemen, I have finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

Everyone lowered their heads, knowing that Yu Xiaolie possessed an iron fist and absolute authority, and immediately responded in unison:

"I will obey the orders of the sect master!"
