Chapter 183 Shrek Academy Wants to Get Back at Themselves
"enough!"

Just as the atmosphere in the conference room was becoming increasingly tense, Long Yeyue's voice suddenly rang out. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that instantly silenced all the noise.

Long Yeyue slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Bo Xingyu and Lan Muzi. Her eyes held a hint of disappointment, but even more so, a resolute determination.

"Children, your argument is pointless."

Long Yeyue's voice was calm yet powerful, "Technology and Soul Masters have never been opposites. Technology is a tool, Soul Masters are power. Tools can change the world, but power can protect the world. The existence of Shrek Academy has never been to reject progress, but to protect world peace."

Long Yeyue's words eased the atmosphere in the conference room somewhat.

Blue Armor stood to the side, a faint smile still on his face. He didn't seem uneasy about Long Yeyue's words; on the contrary, he seemed to have expected all of this.

"Elder Long is right, technology and Soul Masters are not mutually exclusive."

Blue Armor slowly spoke, his tone carrying a profound meaning, "But the question is, is Shrek Academy truly willing to accept this balance? Or are you just paying lip service while actually clinging to those outdated ideas?"

Long Yeyue's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at Lan Jia, a cold glint in her eyes. She knew that Lan Jia's words were not unfounded.

Although Shrek Academy has a long history and profound cultural heritage, it does appear somewhat conservative and stubborn when faced with new things.

"Our Shrek Academy never stands still."

Long Yeyue's voice remained calm, but there was a hint of guilt in her tone. She added to herself, "We are willing to accept new things and coexist with technology. But we will never give up the spirit and power of Soul Masters. This is the foundation of Shrek Academy and the meaning of our existence."

Blue Armor smiled slightly and said nothing more. He knew that Long Yeyue's words had already revealed Shrek Academy's attitude. Although this attitude still seemed somewhat conservative, at least Shrek Academy had begun to take the power of technology seriously.

Silence fell again in the meeting room. While the young students still harbored hostility towards the Shrek Academy representatives, they were at least no longer aggressive. They understood that the debate between technology and Soul Masters couldn't be resolved overnight. The road ahead was long, and what they needed to do was continuously explore and innovate, not engage in pointless arguments.

"Alright, that concludes our discussion for today."

The man in blue broke the silence, his tone relaxed, "Next, we will arrange a friendly match so that everyone can personally experience the strength of East China Sea. I hope everyone will give it their all and show the spirit of Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy students' eyes lit up!
It's finally our turn!

They had just been angrily confronted by students from academies they had never even heard of. Even though they weren't the main targets like Lan Muzi and Bo Xingyu, the other Shrek Academy students were still having a hard time.

They were all young and impetuous, how could they not feel angry at such open and subtle taunts and ridicule?
Now, the moment has finally arrived for them to show their skills. The students of Shrek Academy are burning with fighting spirit; they will prove with their strength that the power of Soul Masters is still not to be underestimated, and that the glory of Shrek Academy cannot be desecrated.

Seeing the gleam in the students' eyes, Long Yeyue breathed a slight sigh of relief. She knew that the upcoming match would be crucial for Shrek Academy to save face. She turned to the blue-armored student and said, "In that case, please make the arrangements. Shrek Academy is ready to fight at any time."

Blue Armor smiled slightly and nodded: "Alright, let's move on to the arena then."

The group followed the blue-armored man out of the conference room and headed to the arena of Donghai Academy.

Throughout the journey, the Shrek Academy students maintained solemn expressions, their hearts filled with fighting spirit. They knew that this match was not only about proving their own strength, but also about defending the honor of Shrek Academy. The arena, located in the center of Donghai Academy, was a massive circular building surrounded by towering stands capable of holding thousands of people. When the Shrek Academy delegation entered the arena, the stands were already filled with students and teachers from various Donghai academies. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, clearly showing their keen interest in this friendly match.

Standing in the center of the arena, the man in blue armor announced loudly, "Next, we will have a friendly match between the Shrek Academy team and the East Sea Academy team. The rules are the same as the regular Soul Master Tournament. Each side will send seven members to compete as a team. During the match, you must stop when you have made a point and are not allowed to intentionally hurt your opponent."

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the stands. Clearly, the students of Donghai Academy were full of anticipation for this match.

Standing at the front of the Shrek Academy team, Long Yeyue's gaze swept over her students, and she said firmly, "Children, remember, this competition is not just about victory, but also about proving the spirit of Shrek Academy. No matter how strong our opponents are, we must go all out and show the style of Shrek Academy!"

The students of Shrek Academy responded in unison, "Yes!"

Their voices were loud and firm, full of fighting spirit. Each person's eyes shone with confidence, as if they could already see the dawn of victory.

At the same time, Chen Zhou slowly appeared in the venue.

The young master of the Beast Machine Merchant Guild, the publisher of more than a dozen important research papers by the Supreme Research Group, and the main compiler of new educational teaching materials.
The numerous titles bestowed upon one person drew admiring glances from the students receiving modern education in the stands. Chen Zhou's arrival undoubtedly added even more attention and anticipation to this friendly match.

Chen Zhou stood at the highest point of the stands, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone in the arena. His eyes remained unwavering, as if everything was perfectly within his expectations. He slightly raised his hand, signaling that the match could begin.

Seeing this, Lan Jia announced loudly, "The match begins! Players from both sides, please enter the field!"

As he finished speaking, the teams from Shrek Academy and East Sea Academy emerged from the passages on either side and slowly entered the arena. Shrek Academy's seven members were Ying Xiyue, Bo Xingyu, Na'er, Zhang Lingchuan, and three other fourth-year Soul Masters.

Standing in the audience, Long Yeyue smiled on her aged face.

In terms of individual strength, Shrek Academy is naturally superior!

It's time to get our revenge.

However, Ya Li, who was also leading the team, was somewhat worried. As the Martial Soul of Prayer Angel, her spiritual power was already close to the peak of the Spirit Realm, so she could naturally sense the difference between the East Sea team and the others.

Xu Xiaoyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Ouyang Zixin, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Ji Jingtong
These six individuals were all handpicked and are all geniuses who have reached the Soul Venerable level and are studying in the advanced departments of various academies.

However, compared to Shrek Academy's team of all Soul Masters, it still seemed inadequate.

but
Looking at the confident and even gloating expressions of the Donghai team, Yali felt a sense of foreboding.

Ya Li felt a pang of unease as she looked at Chen Zhou, who had kept his eyes closed since going on stage.

Even though the Tang Sect and the Sun Moon Federation's high-ranking officials joined forces to block intelligence on the East China Sea region, Chen Zhou's reputation as a genius was already well-known to these people.
