Chapter 123 I said, he can replace him.

No matter which academy the gifted students go to, as long as they don't die prematurely, who can't enter the realm of Titled Douluo?
The so-called number one academy, Shrek Academy, is only able to quickly realize the potential of geniuses because of tens of thousands of years of shameless self-conceit and accumulation.

It has made absolutely no contribution to the construction of the backbone forces at the middle level and the grassroots forces at the bottom level.

But that's fine. After all, Shrek Academy has indeed quickly cultivated top-level talents for the world, and there is nothing wrong with that.

However, the special organization within Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion, is very intriguing.

So many top-tier fighters gathered together, so many of them stayed in a single academy instead of giving back to society, becoming a force that transcended the mundane world, even capable of swaying the entire continent at times. For the development of the entire Douluo Continent, does this existence bring more benefits than disadvantages, or does it bring more disadvantages than benefits?
A hint of coldness flashed across Chen Zhou's eyes. He didn't deny Shrek Academy's contribution to cultivating top-tier combat power, but he knew better than anyone that a truly powerful nation needed not only top-tier warriors but also a stable and vibrant middle and grassroots force. Shrek Academy clearly hadn't achieved this.

Even the top strong ones have almost monopolized nearly half of it!
"Teacher Long, do you think it's possible for Donghai College to forge its own path?"

Chen Zhou spoke again, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Long Hengxu was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Chen, although Donghai College has developed rapidly in recent years, it lacks a solid foundation. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to carve out your own path."

Chen Zhou nodded, seemingly unsurprised by Long Hengxu's answer. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance, as if pondering something.

"Teacher Long, if I tell you that the Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce is willing to fully support East Sea Academy, do you think it's possible for East Sea Academy to replace Shrek Academy?"

"what?"

When Long Hengxu heard this, his eyes suddenly became blank for no reason, as if he had not heard Chen Zhou's words clearly at all.

"I say, he can take his place."

Chen Zhou turned around and looked at Long Hengxu with a sharp gaze, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness.

Long Hengxu's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by an invisible force. He had never imagined he would one day hear such arrogant words from a young man. However, Chen Zhou's expression was not joking at all, but rather a seriousness that was almost cold.

"Replace Shrek Academy?" Long Hengxu muttered to himself, as if trying to digest this almost impossible idea.

Shrek Academy, a sacred place in the hearts of countless spirit masters across the Douluo Continent, is a behemoth that has stood for tens of thousands of years. It's more than just an academy; it's a faith, a symbol of the highest honor for spirit masters. Over the years, countless academies have attempted to challenge its status, but without exception, they have all failed. Its heritage, resources, and faculty have long surpassed the reach of ordinary academies. It could even be said that Shrek Academy itself is an unshakable mountain.

However, Chen Zhou's words gave Long Hengxu a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, for others, such an idea was a pipe dream, but for Chen Zhou, and for the Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce behind him, it might not be impossible.

"Master Chen, are you serious?"

Long Hengxu's voice trembled a little. He knew what it would mean if Chen Zhou really intended to do this.

Chen Zhou smiled faintly and sat back in his seat, his fingers tapping the table lightly, making a rhythmic sound. He didn't directly answer Long Hengxu's question, but instead asked, "Teacher Long, why do you think Shrek Academy has been able to stand firm?"

Long Hengxu was stunned, then thought for a moment before answering, "Shrek Academy boasts top-tier faculty, the richest resources, and the most comprehensive training system. More importantly, it has tens of thousands of years of accumulation and heritage, which no other academy can match." Chen Zhou nodded and said calmly, "You're right, but these are just appearances. Remember, don't be fooled by superficial appearances."

"The reason Shrek Academy has been able to stand firm is because its core lies in its monopoly on genius. Just as the waves wash away the sand, gold is found in the sand. They have gathered almost the top talents in the entire continent. Just like gold remains gold wherever it goes, these geniuses are geniuses wherever they go."

"From the beginning to the end, Shrek Academy has only provided corresponding protection and resource allocation. This has brought these geniuses who already have a bright future to their peak one step ahead of time."

"If you put everything aside, Shrek Academy isn't so much an institution for teaching and educating people as it is a packaging company with a virtuous cycle of marketing and packaging. They carve luxurious patterns into gold, slap on a label claiming it's tens of thousands of years old, as if the gold can appreciate in value immeasurably."

Chen Zhou paused tapping his fingers on the table, his eyes penetrating as he laid out the facts. "But in reality, gold is gold. Just like the current Qingtian Douluo, even if he didn't join Shrek Academy, he would still be one of the pinnacles of the entire continent. The change is just a matter of time and experience."

"Basic education, backbone training, and scientific and technological concepts targeting people's livelihood"

"I completely fail to see a truly complete education system. Even the most basic functions of an academy have been distorted. Shrek Academy is more like a giant machine that monopolizes talent resources. While its operation is efficient, it represents a distorted development model for the entire continent's educational ecosystem."

Chen Zhou's voice gradually turned cold, and there was a sharpness in his eyes, as if it could penetrate Long Hengxu's soul and hit the doubts and anxieties deep in his heart.

"Teacher Long, what do you think a truly powerful education system should be like?"

Long Hengxu fell silent, countless images flashing through his mind—the classrooms of Donghai College, the students diligently cultivating, the teachers attentively teaching. However, Chen Zhou's words were like a sharp knife, slicing through the deeply ingrained notions in his mind.

"A truly strong education system shouldn't just focus on cultivating geniuses, but should also focus on the growth of every student. It should provide ample opportunities for those with lesser talents, allowing them to find their own value in their own fields. It should focus on the popularization of basic education, so that every child can enjoy fair access to educational resources. It should cultivate a group of soul masters with a sense of social responsibility, an innovative spirit, and the ability to work in a team, rather than just a group of strong individuals pursuing personal strength."

"Technology that improves people's livelihoods shouldn't be the focus of research and development by only social soul masters who are unable to continue their studies, unable to improve their soul power, and filled with hesitation, fatigue, loss and pessimism."

"Tens of thousands of years have passed. Have you noticed that society has become distorted?"

"The towering tower of soul guidance technology is not without a solid foundation, but this foundation is narrow and crooked, built on the wisdom and efforts of a few people. A true education system should give every student the opportunity to participate in such construction, rather than limiting their future to the improvement of soul power and the victory or defeat of battle."
