Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly, "There's no doubt about that, because Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan of the Inner Court has already been forced to do such a thing. The dozen or so Inner Court students who sacrificed themselves have become that person's glory and glorious history. It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
Huo Yuhao's calm words revealed the bloody truth, and everyone fell silent, unable to speak, whether it was Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan who were unaware of the matter, or Bei Bei and Ma Xiaotao who knew about it.
Beibei gripped his teacup tightly, recalling the scene. He had always regarded Zhang Lexuan as an older sister, and he still clearly remembered how Zhang Lexuan, under pressure, had to kneel before the ancient golden tree for a day and a night, begging for Xuan Lao's pardon.
Senior Sister, you must have hated it back then too, right?
Ma Xiaotao let out a breath of turbid air, thinking that if the Soul Hall really existed back then, the Hall Master, as the student representative, would probably have had to kneel down and beg for Xuan Lao's pardon.
Even though they grew up in Shrek Academy and have deep feelings for the academy, they are still quite dissatisfied with the academy's actions back then.
It is human nature to feel sorrow for one's own kind.
Huo Yuhao said, "If the Soul Hall had autonomy, all the students could sign a petition, and even if they couldn't punish the teacher who made a serious mistake, they could make it very difficult for that teacher to lead the team again. Instead of the current situation, where the guilty go unpunished and the victims become taboo and ignored."
"Brother Beibei, do you believe that teacher will definitely make the same mistake again?"
Although Huo Yuhao drew his conclusion based on the original work, even without following the original work, he could have reached the same conclusion based solely on Elder Xuan's usual behavior.
“People like him won’t learn their lesson without real punishment. What has been done will be done again, what has been done will be done again.”
"And this is precisely what the Soul Hall must strive to avoid after its establishment! We cannot allow tragedy to repeat itself, nor can we, the students, pay the price for the academy's mistakes. Compared to the academy, the Soul Hall may be weaker, but if everyone chooses to remain silent, such things will only escalate."
"I don't want to see innocent students become victims, and I don't want to see mistakes repeated."
"If any organization within Shrek Academy were to take the lead in correcting this injustice, I hope it would be the Soul Hall."
"This is also why I established the External Inspection Department in the Soul Palace. It is the motto of this department: 'Better to die speaking out than to live in silence.'"
Ma Xiaotao, Bei Bei, and Wang Dong were still teenagers, full of youthful vigor and righteousness.
Huo Yuhao's seemingly ordinary words resonated deeply with them, igniting their passion and indignation.
Beibei stood up and said solemnly, "Yuhao, you're right. The academy needs a student organization like the Soul Hall that can correct mistakes, and students also need an organization that can guide them and protect their interests. The Soul Hall must also have independent rights and cannot become an appendage of the academy."
"Yuhao, you've convinced me. My previous view was one-sided."
"I will fully support the establishment of the Soul Hall, and I will also help to gather some friends to join the Soul Hall and build it into an organization that belongs exclusively to us students."
Bei Bei extended her hand, and Huo Yuhao smiled and placed his hand on top of hers.
Tang Ya was still reeling from the afterglow of what had just happened, and her expression was still somewhat dazed. However, she still placed her palm on top of Huo Yuhao's palm, followed by Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.
Ma Xiaotao remained calm, placing her slender hand on top of her head, and said in a flat voice, "I also hope that there will be such a student organization within the academy, and it could even be promoted among the inner academy students. However, you must be prepared to deal with my teacher, Yan Shaozhe."
“As a disciple, I know very well what kind of person our teacher is. He would never allow such an organization to exist within the academy. If you dare to apply to the academy, he will definitely stop it immediately once he finds out.”
Ma Xiaotao knew that his teacher was a traditional and conservative person. In his heart, the authority of the Martial Soul Department was greater than everything else. How could he allow a student organization that might challenge the authority of the academy to appear?
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
If the academy does not support them, they can still overcome the difficulties and establish the Soul Hall. However, if the academy firmly opposes them, it will be extremely difficult to establish the Soul Hall.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, who could achieve their goals despite Shrek Academy's staunch opposition? Very few!
Huo Yuhao broke the silence with a smile, "If we don't do it, we'll never succeed. We can solve any difficulties slowly. Things aren't at the point where the academy will object, are they? It's just that Dean Yan might object."
Bei Bei smiled slightly and said, "The academy isn't ruled by Dean Yan alone. What we need to do is first establish the Soul Hall. Perhaps other higher-ups in the academy will support us then?"
The hesitation on everyone's faces disappeared, and Huo Yuhao said, "Let's talk about our work these past few days! Everyone, please assign tasks."
Beibei spoke first: "We need at least one club room on campus. Since the college doesn't support it, it will be difficult for us to apply for a classroom."
All eyes turned to Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei. If anyone could get a classroom, it would only be someone like them who had connections within the academy.
Ma Xiaotao shook her head and said, "I can't. If I apply, the teacher will definitely find out, and we will be exposed too early."
Beibei said, "We can't apply for classrooms in the Martial Soul Department, otherwise Director Du will definitely ask about it."
Xiao Xiao said, "So, we need to apply for classrooms from the Soul Guidance Department?"
Everyone looked up at Huo Yuhao, who was the only one studying in the Soul Guidance Department recently.
Huo Yuhao gave a reassuring smile. "Leave it to me. Let's move on to the next question."
He was also preparing to seek Xian Lin'er's support. His mission required recruiting a Title Douluo, so he wanted to see if he could get Xian Lin'er to be the Soul Hall's instructor.

Chapter 85 Preparatory Work for Establishing Student Organizations
Jiang Nannan said, "According to Yuhao's plan, the establishment of the organization requires a lot of funding. Without the support of the academy, we have to find a way to make money ourselves."
Everyone fell silent, racking their brains for ways to make money, but they couldn't think of anything for the time being.
They were just teenagers, primarily learning how to fight. Asking their families for money was easy, but figuring out how to make it themselves was difficult.
Beibei suggested, "Why don't we pay for it ourselves first?"
Apart from Jiang Nannan, none of the people present are short of money. Although Jiang Nannan is still frugal, she is not short of money either. Huo Yuhao gave Jiang Nannan a lot of the money he had earned under the pretext of betrothal gifts.
Huo Yuhao rejected Bei Bei's suggestion, saying seriously, "No, the organization we create must not charge its members money. Over time, it will lead to the problem of arbitrarily charging members fees and breed corruption. Moreover, the organization could be controlled by those who provide the money. Therefore, the organization must have its own way of earning funds."
"Then what should we do? Do business in the name of the Soul Palace? But what kind of business can we do?" Wang Dong asked.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and asked confidently, "What kind of organization do we want to establish?"
"What does this have to do with what kind of organization we've formed?" Wang Dong wondered.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong indifferently, which annoyed her. She felt that she had been looked down upon.
Huo Yuhao said, "We're going to establish a student organization, and specifically a student organization within Shrek Academy. What does Shrek Academy have the most of?"
"They are geniuses, and talents. Every student at Shrek Academy is a talent sought after by major powers. Several empires even have quotas for recruiting Shrek students. Isn't this our opportunity?"
"We just need to promise to help their forces with publicity, and they shouldn't be stingy with some money, right? Talent is priceless."
Beibei frowned and pondered for a moment before agreeing, "It's indeed feasible, and it can be a long-term way to obtain funding. If our Soul Hall is truly fully established, its guiding influence on students will be unprecedented. Our organization's suggestions could very well influence where members go after graduation. Those powerful forces won't be stingy with some money to let us help them with publicity."
"Leave this to me. I know a lot of influential people."
Huo Yuhao thanked him gently, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Bei Bei."
He knew that accomplishing this would not be easy. Their Soul Palace was still in its infancy and faced numerous difficulties. The major powers were the type to not act until they saw a clear benefit; how could they possibly part with their money so easily? Their money didn't come from thin air either.
Huo Yuhao sighed, "Brother Beibei is such a good person. It seems I must take good care of Sister Xiaoya in the future, so as not to let down Brother Beibei's efforts."
I just hope that Brother Beibei and Xu Sanshi can be happy and fulfilled. I might have to find something similar to the Mother's Drowning Spring for them in the future so that their true love can blossom and bear fruit.
Hopefully, Brother Beibei won't be too moved at that time.
With the funding issue resolved, everyone began to consider the most important question: how to recruit members.
Beibei spoke first: "Although we can recruit our friends, as a student organization, we should recruit members from all students. However, we don't know how well people will accept such an organization that has never appeared on the mainland before."
Xiao Xiao had thought about Huo Yuhao's plan to establish a student organization for a long time after hearing about it yesterday, so she had considered it more carefully. She twirled a strand of her dark green hair with her fair fingers, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and said, "If our student organization's power is not recognized by the academy, then it must be based on the recognition of all students. If we recruit people randomly, or even just friends and relatives, it will be difficult to gain the recognition of all students."
"In order for everyone in the college to know and understand the role and function of student organizations, we must first make our reputation known!"
Huo Yuhao chuckled and clapped his hands lightly, saying, "Xiao Xiao is right. What we should do before recruiting people is to promote them!"
He gently rested his chin on his hand and said, "The academy will be holding a challenger arena competition this week. The more consecutive wins, the higher the reward. We might be able to promote ourselves at the arena. With the strength of me, Brother Beibei, and Sister Nannan, a high winning streak would be enough to make the organization famous."
“The Challenger Arena is indeed the best opportunity to make a name for yourself. Especially for Yuhao, if he achieves the longest winning streak as a first-ring freshman, the fame he can gain will be unprecedented, and Yuhao definitely has the ability to do so,” Beibei agreed.
He then frowned thoughtfully and tentatively asked, "How should we promote ourselves during the tournament? Should we print advertisements on our clothes?"
Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile. He was merely using Shrek Academy's traditional trick. Back then, Flander had made money by advertising on the academy uniform during the Continental Soul Master Competition. This was called using their own methods against them.
Beibei's lips twitched, and she gave a helpless smile as she thought of the clothes with advertisements printed on them that he wore during the arena match.
Yuhao is really good at tricking people; the worst part is that he even tricks himself.
Beibei did not reject this method; it was indeed an effective one.
A hint of worry flashed in Jiang Nannan's eyes as she said, "But this arena is for the dean to promote the true meaning of the school motto. Is it really okay for us to use it to promote student organizations? Won't this attract the attention of the actors' club?"
Huo Yuhao reassured him, "Don't worry, Dean Yan will find out about the establishment of the student organization sooner or later. What we need to do is to expand the student organization before he stops it, and at the same time gain the support of some other college leaders."
"Therefore, we just need to delay the time it takes for Dean Yan to discover it. During the Challenger Arena, we can use other things to overshadow the Soul Hall and make its establishment less conspicuous."
"What's all the fuss about?" Everyone else was intrigued.
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "This requires Brother Beibei and Sister Xiaoya to make some sacrifices."
"Shall we make a sacrifice?" Bei Bei and Tang Ya looked puzzled.
Huo Yuhao said, "I plan to start a campus newspaper, which will serve as the mouthpiece of the Soul Hall's propaganda department. Now we can launch it to attract the academy's attention."
"We can take advantage of the competition to launch a campus newspaper, and we should emphasize its promotional role to attract Dean Yan's attention. Given Dean Yan's style, he won't let us control such a mouthpiece for all students, will he?"
Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Tang Ya asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with me and Bei Bei?"
Huo Yuhao said somewhat embarrassedly, "Gossip is human nature, and it's also a shortcut for newspapers to grow rapidly. If something happens to you two, the model couple on campus, we'll publish it in the newspaper. With your fame, I believe everyone will be willing to buy the newspaper to read it."
"Of course, I'm not saying anything really happened to you, I just want you and Sister Xiaoya to pretend." Huo Yuhao added sincerely.
Huo Yuhao said that, but he knew that once a couple with cracks broke up, the cracks would widen to a point where they were difficult to mend.

Chapter 86 Helping Ma Xiaotao Resolve Her Evil Fire
Tang Ya's heart skipped a beat. Was he really that impatient? Did he want her and Bei Bei to break up so quickly?
