Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 204 The Reform of Shrek Academy
Long Xiaoyao's gaze passed over the long table in front of him, carefully examining Yan Shaozhe's appearance. The more he looked, the more he felt that the other person had Ye Xishui's features in his eyebrows and eyes.

"Coincidence?"

"It should be."

“I remember he was Moon’s top student and the dean of Shrek Academy.”

"Yan Shaozhe, the Phoenix Douluo".

"Phoenix of Light..."

"It's impossible for it to be related to Ye Xishui."

"It's absolutely just a coincidence."

Long Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze, having no doubt whatsoever that the other party was Ye Xishui and his descendant.

In his eyes, Ye Xishui's martial soul was the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, and no matter how much it mutated, it could never mutate into the Bright Phoenix.

This is even more absurd than a dog suddenly mutating into a Five Elements Qilin. At least a dog can be associated with a Qilin in some way, but the Bright Phoenix and the Blood Soul Demon Puppet are truly incompatible.

Mu En watched as the people around the table whispered among themselves. Old Song and others, who were contemporaries of Long Xiaoyao, made no attempt to hide their gazes as they scrutinized the current Long Xiaoyao.

Although Xuanzi is unreliable, he is indeed the person who is closest to becoming a Limit Douluo among everyone present, except for Mu En.

"You've already broken through level 99?"

Long Xiaoyao looked at Xuanzi's disheveled appearance and said:
"Oh, Xuanzi."

"She looked so disheveled, I almost didn't recognize her."

"How come you're still at level 98?"

"They've been stuck at this level for a hundred years, haven't they?"

"Hahaha, Mu En and I should have become Limit Douluo around the same time."

Long Xiaoyao said a few words to Xuanzi, and Xuanzi did not refute them. It was true that he had been stuck at level 98 for a long time.

Mu En shook his head helplessly, his gentle voice, accompanied by the power of his radiant soul, resonating in the ears of those around him.

"Let's all stop for a moment."

"I doubt many people here know Xiaoyao, so let me introduce him."

"This old guy was once the Dragon Emperor Douluo, who was on par with me. Now he's a level 99 Limit Douluo."

“From today onwards, he will also be a guest elder of our Sea God Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi and the others all looked at Long Xiaoyao. They had never expected that this former enemy would be willing to join the Sea God Pavilion, even if only as a guest elder, a figurehead position.

Lin Huiqun, who was sitting on the right side of the long table, stood up and applauded to welcome Long Xiaoyao's arrival.

She didn't have any conflicts with him when she was young.

Led by Lin Huiqun, continuous applause rang out in the conference hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

Even Elder Song and others were no exception. In any case, Long Xiaoyao's addition greatly strengthened the Sea God Pavilion's power, which was a great thing for Shrek Academy.

As the applause gradually subsided, Moon addressed the crowd:

"I guess everyone is curious about why I brought Xiaoyao over."

"Haha, it's because the upcoming reforms at Shrek Academy will be a major operation."

Shrek Academy will likely be weakened for a long time.

"During this period, I am afraid I cannot cope with the challenges from old friends such as the Sun Moon Empire and the Body Sect on my own."

"But with Xiaoyao, the two of us working together, we are confident that no one on the continent can defeat us!"

Long Xiaoyao stroked his silver beard next to Mu En and nodded.

Given their level of teamwork and their Ultimate Douluo-level Martial Soul Fusion Skill, even if Di Tian were to arrive, he would have to prepare the Heart of Chengdu in case it was breached.

All the elders present sat up straight, their gazes sharpening, realizing that what was about to happen was likely a major event that would determine the future of Shrek Academy.

Mu En looked around at the other elders, all of whom were full of fighting spirit and ready for battle.

"Shrek Academy has lasted for ten thousand years, but no one knows if we will still exist in the next ten thousand years."

"The emergence of the Sun Moon Empire and soul tools has shaken the status of soul masters on the continent."

"Gentlemen, soul tools are developing rapidly, while the development of us soul masters is far behind that of soul tools."

“You all have the Magic Network, which is indeed a good thing. Through the Magic Network, you should all have seen how far the Sun Moon Empire has progressed in the research of soul tools.”

"You've probably all seen the experimental explosion of the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that was once very popular on the Magic Network."

"What are your thoughts on its power?"

The surrounding elders all nodded, and even Yan Shaozhe, who had always opposed the development of the Soul Guidance Department, lowered his head at this moment.

The public detonation of that level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was suggested by Otto and carried out by Xu Tianran, with the aim of deterring the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

At the same time, it will give a boost to the soul tool revolution in Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Since that video, the Three Kingdoms have become even more eager for Soul Guidance Machine Tools. If a Soul Guidance Machine Tool were put up for auction, it could fetch an astronomical price.

The Soul Guidance Machine Tool Factory in Xilu City is coveted by countless forces.

However, the spies or agents they sent could not escape the web woven by Adam, the Roots, and the Battle Maids.

Either die, or become a member of the maid café and pledge your loyalty to Huo Yuhao.

It's worth mentioning that most of the maids at the maid cafe will become loyal to Huo Yuhao after staying there for a month, offering him a lot of information about the original forces and how to deal with their former colleagues.

Looking at the silent crowd, Moon nodded slightly and said:
"Looks like you've seen them all."

"That level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is guaranteed to kill anyone below level 95!"

"As for how many of these soul-guided cannonballs the Sun Moon Empire still has, no one knows."

"No one dares to gamble on whether the Sun Moon Empire will actually throw a few missiles at Shrek City."

"Duoduo, Lin'er, tell me, when will Shrek Academy have a soul tool that can effectively counter the enemy?"

Xian Lin'er, combining her understanding with her Soul Guidance system, thought carefully for a moment and then said to Mu En in a deep voice:
“In the past, it wouldn’t have been possible to guarantee that it would happen even in a hundred years.”

"But then the Soul Guidance Machine Tool appeared, and the Soul Guidance Device Revolution also broke out in the Tiandou Plain."

"Ten years! At most ten years, we can master the technology of level nine soul tools!"

Moon looked at everyone and said:
"Ten years."

"But the Sun and Moon Empire will not stop; this is a race."

"The revolution of soul-guided machine tools and soul-guided devices..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we Shrek Academy were once the guides of the continent."

"If it weren't for the fact that Xilu City is so close to us, and that we have a good relationship with Shrek."

"We can't even get a taste of the dust from this soul tool revolution."

"No matter how glorious our history or how lofty our status may be!"

"The Soul Tool Revolution broke out in the outside world, and Shrek Academy was almost abandoned by the times, which is an undeniable fact!" Mu En's gaze pierced the hearts of everyone present like a sharp sword. Whether it was Xian Lin'er or Yan Shaozhe, they all lowered their heads and dared not meet Mu En's eyes.

Since what the other party said was true, Yan Shaozhe didn't know what to say. He could feel that the gaze was mainly fixed on him.

To Mu En's surprise, Xianlin'er actually raised her head and retorted.

"Teacher, Shrek will not be abandoned by the times!"

"Our students and teachers are all working hard; we've just taken the wrong path! It's definitely not because we lack ability!"

"As long as we correct our course, we can still lead the mainland."

Seeing his daughter's courage, Old Song opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing the determination in his daughter's eyes, he swallowed his words.

He glanced at his daughter with support.

Mu En was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, giving Yan Shaozhe a look of utter disappointment!
Even Xian Lin'er, who is weaker than him, dared to refute him, yet his own eldest disciple is acting like an ostrich at this moment!

"Hahaha!"

"it is good!"

"really not bad!"

"We're on the wrong road, no, we're definitely on the wrong road!"

"Old Song, your daughter is much smarter and braver than you were back then."

Mu En looked at Xian Lin'er with admiration, but he couldn't be bothered with Yan Shaozhe.

Old Song also smiled, with pride showing in his eyes.

"Lin'er is right! Shrek Academy is on the wrong path."

"Completely wrong!"

"From the teachers to the academic affairs office to the teaching methods, we made a complete mess of things."

"Today's meeting is to correct Shrek Academy's course and bring it back to the right path."

"This requires the collective effort of all of us!"

Moon paused for a moment, giving the crowd below time to think, before continuing:

"First, we need to reform the Soul Guidance System."

"Last time, Xianlin'er, Qian Duoduo, and I went to Xilu City to see their education system."

"They subdivided the Soul Guidance Masters into Soul Guidance Device Design, Soul Guidance Device Manufacturing, Soul Guidance Device Analysis, Mathematics, and Core Magic Array Analysis."

"Traditional soul masters are divided into several disciplines, each of which cultivates specialized talents. These talents work together to create various new types of soul tools."

"This is also one of the main reasons for the emergence of the soul tool revolution in the outside world."

Shrek Academy wants to learn this educational approach.

"Lin'er, what do you think?"

Xianlin'er had planned to bring this up at the Sea God Pavilion meeting from the beginning, so of course there would be no objections.

“I fully support you, teacher.”

"Duoduo and I have the same idea. Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department can no longer follow the traditional Soul Guidance Master route. It will only fall further and further behind the Sun Moon Empire. We must take a different approach!"

"The subdivision of Soul Masters must be put on the agenda."

"In Xilu City, the disciplines of the Soul Master system, such as Soul Tool Design, Soul Tool Analysis, and Mathematics, can be studied by ordinary people."

"I propose that the Soul Guidance Department could recruit some ordinary people who are exceptionally talented in calculation."

Xianlin'er's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples.

A heated discussion broke out in the Sea God Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe looked at Xian Lin'er in shock, his voice trembling slightly as he said:
"Ordinary people?"

"Lin'er, are you sure?"

"them………"

Yan Shaozhe was about to speak when Xian Lin'er interrupted him.

"What's wrong with ordinary people?"

"Also, don't call me that so intimately."

"When did Shrek Academy's definition of monsters become so superficial?"

"Soul Masters are indeed stronger than ordinary people in every aspect, but are there no monsters among ordinary people?"

"Mental strength can make you calculate faster, but it won't make you smarter! Yan Shaozhe."

A smile appeared on Moon's face. He pressed his palm down and said to Qian Duoduo:
"Dodo, what about you?"

"What do you want to say?"

Qian Duoduo stood up, straightened her back, and said to Mu En:

"Mr. Mu."

"Lin'er is right."

"I think so too. At first, I wasn't really interested in ordinary people."

"But in the Soul Guidance Machine Tool Factory in Xilu City, I saw that almost half of the people were ordinary people without soul power."

"They are in no way inferior to any Soul Master in terms of relevant knowledge."

"Many people are highly innovative, and then each of them performs their duties. Their inspirations begin to collide and give birth to the Soul Guidance Machine Tool, a treasure that can be called the 'crown of Soul Guidance Devices'."

"Facts don't lie!"

"The path taken by Xilu City should be the right one."

Moon gestured for Qian Duoduo to sit down and then addressed the crowd:
"I think the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department make a lot of sense."

"Shrek Academy seems to have never opened its doors to ordinary people."

“Many of them are monsters from other realms that we have overlooked.”

"Xilu City is a good example; ordinary people can also participate in soul tool research."

"Now that Xilu City has already paved the way, why don't we follow their lead and cross the river?"

"I agree to the Soul Guidance Department's proposal."

"Does anyone have any objections? Please feel free to raise them."

All the elders pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in unison. After what Xian Lin'er said, it made perfect sense.

The weakest person present was a Title Douluo, and they knew all too well that mental power would not actually make a person smarter; at most, it would cause a surge in calculation ability. A certain Silver Dragon King was the best example of this.

They may not be as innovative as some ordinary people.

Moreover, Moon had already nodded in agreement. The elders of the Sea God Pavilion all admired this old man, who had almost dedicated everything to Shrek Academy.

He is the undisputed Shrek weightlifting champion!
