Huo Yuhao asked, "Sister Mei'er, may I attend the Sea God Pavilion meeting? As the founder of the Soul Palace, the elders can ask me any questions they may have, and I can also prevent anyone from distorting the role of the Soul Palace."
Cai Meier's voice rose and fell as she said, "I should go. You'll have to ask Xian Lin'er; she should be able to arrange it for you. But if she can't, you can come find me."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Since I can attend the Sea God Pavilion meeting, then leave it to me. Sister Mei'er, you don't need to worry."
"Okay, fine." Cai Meier's voice trembled, with a charming and seductive quality. "Yan Shaozhe has been trying to touch me these past two days. He hasn't had this thought in over ten years, but for some reason, he's suddenly become interested. But I've been avoiding him, so you don't need to be jealous."
Cai Meier said this to get Huo Yuhao's attention and to make him want to compete with Yan Shaozhe. Competition leads to greater effort, and effort leads to greater care.
Of course, the most important thing is that Huo Yuhao will receive a reward for his efforts, while Yan Shaozhe will not.
In this way, through comparison, it's easier to capture a man's heart. Xianlin'er still has a lot to learn!
Huo Yuhao gently stroked Cai Meier's skin and said casually, "Leave this to me too. After today, Dean Yan won't bother you anymore."
Cai Meier glanced at Huo Yuhao curiously, deciding to wait and see how he would put Yan Shaozhe at ease.

Chapter 104 Poseidon Pavilion Meeting
It was almost noon when Huo Yuhao returned to the classroom. From afar, he saw a figure standing gracefully at the entrance of their classroom—his teacher, Xian Lin'er.
She wore a light blue long dress with a black blouse trimmed with gold, looking noble and elegant. She exuded an imposing aura that silenced all the students in the class.
Huo Yuhao walked closer and said happily, "Teacher, you were looking for me?"
Xian Lin'er's cold eyes remained unwavering as she captured Huo Yuhao and flew away.
In Xian Lin'er's office, Xian Lin'er asked in a cool tone, "Did that vixen come looking for you again?"
Huo Yuhao nodded obediently.
Xianlin slammed her hand on the table. "What a vixen! She even has a husband!"
Xian Lin'er frowned, looked at Huo Yuhao, and coldly instructed, "Yuhao, if she comes looking for you again, come to me, and I'll deal with her."
Huo Yuhao really wanted to say, "Teacher, didn't you lead the Japanese into the village yourself?" But looking into Xian Lin'er's cold, blue-green eyes, he obediently nodded again.
If she's strong, we'll listen to her. Anyway, by leading Cai Meier to Xian Lin'er, he'll most likely go from having one sheep to having two, so he'll profit either way.
Xian Lin'er nodded and continued, "You'll stay here at noon. In the afternoon, come with me to the Sea God Pavilion meeting. I'll tell you about the things to pay attention to."
Huo Yuhao walked behind Xian Lin'er, gently rubbing her temples, and said with a smile, "Teacher, tell me, let me give you a massage. You've been working so hard these past few days, let me help you relax."
Xian Lin'er's body was tense, wary of Huo Yuhao.
She wasn't like Cai Meier, that vixen. Huo Yuhao had been coming to her every afternoon to study these past few days, but she hadn't let him succeed this time.
She was, after all, a teacher, and every time she was pinned down by her student, she felt utterly ashamed.
As Huo Yuhao massaged her properly, Xian Lin'er gradually relaxed.
After a long time, almost noon, Xian Lin'er lay on the lab table, her smooth jade legs stretched straight, her hands held behind her back by Huo Yuhao, her snow-white jade back swaying rhythmically back and forth.
She scolded in a weak, coquettish voice, "You unfilial disciple, is this how you massage your teacher?"
Huo Yuhao retorted, "Teacher, you don't understand. Massage requires both internal and external connection to allow the whole person to feel relaxed. Teacher, you've been working too hard these past few days, and it pains me to see you like this. I need to help you completely relax. This is my way of showing my filial piety; you just need to enjoy it."
"You're talking nonsense! Stop it now, we still have to attend the Sea God Pavilion meeting later," Xian Lin'er said, embarrassed and annoyed.
"Teacher, you said that half an hour ago." Huo Yuhao continued to do as he pleased.
Xian Lin'er is a titled Douluo, and he didn't use the succubus body, so it would be easy for him to resist.
After noon, Xian Lin'er finally dragged her traitorous disciple out of the office and hurriedly flew towards the Sea God Pavilion.
The Poseidon Pavilion, located at the heart of Poseidon Island, is the tallest and most magnificent building on the island. It has six floors above ground, each over ten meters high.
Shrek Academy's Hall of Fame is located here, as is the Secret Library, and some priceless treasures are also stored here.
When Xian Lin'er brought Huo Yuhao to the Sea God Pavilion's conference hall, ten figures were already seated around an oval table.
At the innermost seat of the long table, there was a reclining chair that stood out. The light around the reclining chair was very dim, but Huo Yuhao could still clearly see Mu En lying on it.
He nodded slightly to Huo Yuhao, then closed his eyes halfway to rest.
Six elderly men, each with white hair, sat at the head of the round table. Elder Xuan was among them, sitting in the first seat on the left. He held a wine gourd in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right, leisurely eating and drinking.
He seemed to have a particular fondness for chicken; every time Huo Yuhao saw him, he was always carrying a chicken leg.
Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier sat at the far left of the long table, while Qian Duoduo sat at the far right, with an empty seat above him.
Xian Lin'er walked to an empty seat and sat down properly, while Huo Yuhao stood quietly behind her.
All the senior scholars turned their gazes to him, with curiosity and scrutiny.
"Everyone's here, let's begin. Lin'er, you'll chair the meeting," Mu En said gently.
As he finished speaking, the other elders straightened up a bit, and even Elder Xuan put down the chicken leg in his hand.
"Yes, teacher." Xian Lin'er stood up and bowed towards the head of the table.
Xian Lin'er bowed to the elders in front of her and said, "Teachers, elders, I have convened this meeting of the Sea God Pavilion today because of a major event that will change the landscape of Shrek Academy. It is also closely related to my disciple Huo Yuhao."
Xian Lin'er recounted Huo Yuhao's talents in detail, from his powerful mental strength and physical attributes to his original martial soul, and how he became a first-level soul master in just twenty days. She then went on to discuss the idea of establishing the Soul Palace, introducing its purpose, principles, structure, and current development.
After hearing this, the group of elders all showed surprise and looked at Huo Yuhao. They paid less attention to the Soul Hall and more to Huo Yuhao's talent.
With such talent, if they grow up, they could ensure Shrek Academy's safety for another hundred years!
Xian Lin'er's voice calmed down as she continued, "Everything was fine until four days ago when Yan Shaozhe wanted to imprison my disciple in the Evil Soul Master Prison because of the Soul Hall incident. Fortunately, I arrived in time to stop him."
The elders turned their gazes to Yan Shaozhe, their eyes filled with doubt, as if asking him what he was thinking.
"As I explained earlier, the Soul Hall is an organization that benefits the academy and the students, but Yan Shaozhe firmly opposes its establishment. Elder Xuan also disagrees. Therefore, the purpose of this meeting is not only to seek justice, but also to address the issue of the Soul Hall."
After Xian Lin'er finished her explanation, Yan Shaozhe stood up and said, "Elders, I do not completely agree with Lin'er's account."
"Huo Yuhao is indeed a genius, but his character is not good; in fact, it can be said to be extremely bad—"
"Bang—" Xian Lin'er slammed her hand on the table. "Yan Shaozhe, stop talking nonsense!"
Her outburst caused the elders' expressions to turn strange. The old lady sitting on the right frowned and said, "Lin'er, this is a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion. Don't make noise. Shao Zhe, you too. As Lin'er's disciple, she knows Huo Yuhao's character better than anyone. Don't make judgments on him."
Xian Lin'er snorted and said nothing more.
"Yes, Elder Lin." Yan Shaozhe continued, "Since enrolling, Huo Yuhao first questioned the school motto, then incited classmates to report teachers, and finally even established the Soul Hall, an organization with ulterior motives."
"Esteemed elders, I am the dean of the Spirit Department. The Spirit Hall was established and developed within the Spirit Department, and I am well aware of its advantages and disadvantages. The Spirit Hall does have benefits for students, but its drawbacks far outweigh them."
"Most of his departments are controlled by disciples of powerful factions. Over time, the students we train will be divided up among these factions after graduation. In addition, students' accusations against teachers are sowing discord between teachers and students, causing students to become alienated from our academy. The Soul Hall's power also overlaps with that of the academy. In the long run, this will inevitably lead to a power struggle between the Soul Hall and the academy, resulting in management chaos. These measures are affecting the foundation of the academy and cannot be ignored."

Chapter 105 Cai Meier betrays Yan Shaozhe
Elder Xuan's sharp gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao behind Xian Lin'er, and he coughed slightly, saying, "Young Huo, is what Xiao Yan said truly true?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, “The selection of department heads in the Soul Hall prioritizes those with strong abilities and the ability to command respect. As you elders probably understand, compared to other students, disciples from powerful factions have an advantage. But even so, only half of the department heads are disciples from powerful factions, unlike what Dean Yan said, which states that most of them are disciples from powerful factions.”
"Furthermore, the students of the Soul Hall only have a supervisory role and do not have the power to punish teachers. In other words, the Soul Hall is here to help the academy discover problems, but how to solve them depends on how the academy handles them. Dean Yan may think that not discovering a problem or punishing the person who discovered it is equivalent to not having a problem. But in fact, if a problem exists, pretending not to see it will only encourage its expansion. It will only make the problem worse and eventually cause endless harm. Don't say you weren't warned," Huo Yuhao said to Elder Xuan.
Shrek discovered Elder Xuan's problem last time but failed to solve it, which will lead to another tragedy in the future.
"As for management issues, the Soul Hall's role is to assist the academy in management. The main body of the Soul Hall is just the students. How can the students compete with the academy for power and profit? The academy only needs one Title Douluo to keep all the students in check."
"In other words, what Dean Yan said about the harm of the Soul Palace is just his own conjecture."
Elder Xuan felt that Huo Yuhao was talking about him, and snorted coldly: "I think you should spend your energy on cultivation instead of engaging in these crooked ways. The period from twelve to twenty years old is the golden time for cultivation. You are wasting your precious time on these meaningless things."
Elder Lin smiled slightly and said, "Elder Xuan, even if we want the children to focus on cultivation, we can't let their lives consist solely of cultivation. As for whether or not to establish this Soul Palace, I'd like to hear Mei'er's opinion."
Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao each had their own reasons, and since they hadn't actually investigated, they didn't want to make a hasty judgment. Especially considering Huo Yuhao's exceptional talent, and the fact that Elder Mu was clearly acquainted with him, ultimately, it would likely be Elder Mu who made the decision.
Cai Meier stood up. Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly. After hearing Meier's words, the elders should be able to trust their judgment now, right?
Cai Meier said, "From the perspective of the academy's future, I am very optimistic about the changes and benefits that the Soul Hall will bring to the academy. What Shao Zhe said is a bit alarmist. The Soul Hall does have its downsides, but the benefits it can bring to the academy far outweigh them. Let me just say this: all along, the outer court students have been alienated from the academy, like scattered sand, unlike the inner court students who are as devoted to the academy. The establishment of the Soul Hall will be able to better unite the outer court students, bringing them together like grains of sand forming a tower."
Yan Shaozhe asked, somewhat puzzled and surprised, "Mei'er, you—"
"Shao Zhe, this matter concerns the future of the academy, and I cannot have any selfish motives." Cai Meier smiled apologetically at Yan Shao Zhe.
Then, she looked at the elders and said, "Elders, Shao Zhe's evaluation of the Soul Hall and Huo Yuhao is not objective. Because Xiao Tao and Huo Yuhao got together, and Huo Yuhao has other entanglements in romantic relationships, Shao Zhe has always been dissatisfied and prejudiced against him, and therefore has always targeted him."
This is a fatal blow to Yan Shaozhe, because his personal likes and dislikes have affected the future of the academy. Every decision he makes in the future will be questioned by people as to whether he is fair.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes were filled with disbelief. He never expected that Cai Meier would not support him this time, but instead stand with Xian Lin'er.
How could the two of them possibly stand together?
Cai Meier was standing right next to him, but at that moment, he suddenly felt that Cai Meier was so far away from him, and it seemed that she was getting further and further away.
As Yan Shaozhe's wife, and given their loving relationship, how could the elders not believe what Cai Meier said about Yan Shaozhe? Immediately, an elder rebuked Yan Shaozhe, saying, "Shaozhe, this concerns the future rise and fall of the academy. How can you put your personal likes and dislikes above the academy's future?"
If Yan Shaozhe really imprisoned Huo Yuhao in the Evil Soul Master prison because of personal feelings, it would ruin a genius who could have ensured the academy's peace for a hundred years!
Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Everything he did was for the academy. Although there was indeed a bit of personal emotion involved, most of it was for the academy's sake.
But Cai Meier's sudden betrayal left him somewhat at a loss.
Elder Lin looked around at everyone present and smiled, "It seems there's no need for a vote; everyone agrees to establish the Soul Palace?"
Yan Shaozhe stood up, his face still showing doubt and disappointment. "Elders, I can no longer oppose the establishment of the Soul Hall. However, I still hope that the academy can limit the power of the Soul Hall and supervise it. Ideally, the academy should guide its work, and personnel arrangements should also be made by the academy. In addition, Huo Yuhao, as a first-year student, is not qualified to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Soul Hall Master. The academy should select a new Master."
