Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

At the center of the media storm, Shrek Academy quickly launched an emergency public relations campaign in an attempt to salvage its damaged reputation.

They released a carefully worded official statement claiming that Shrek Academy and the Body Sect had a clear agreement from ten thousand years ago that Shrek Academy would keep the secrets of the inheritance for protection purposes, not to deliberately hoard them and refuse to return them, emphasizing the academy's credibility and moral bottom line.

To enhance the credibility of the statement, Shrek Academy also invited several renowned Soul Masters who graduated from the academy to speak on its behalf. These Soul Masters enjoy high reputation and influence on the continent, and they expressed their support for Shrek Academy through various channels.

For example, a graduate who won the Soul Master Competition stated publicly: "During my time studying at Shrek Academy, I deeply appreciated the academy's respect and protection for knowledge and its heritage. I believe the academy's statement; there must be a misunderstanding behind it."

Another well-known Soul Master on the mainland also commented, praising Shrek Academy for its outstanding contributions to talent cultivation and the preservation of its heritage.

Relying on the prestige and reputation that Shrek Academy has accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Soul Master world, its public relations efforts have played a certain role.

The academy's statement and the graduates' voices began to shake the resolve of some who were initially skeptical of the incident. Some forces closely associated with Shrek Academy chose to believe the academy's explanation and continue to support Shrek.

Thanks to Shrek Academy's strong public relations efforts, the public outcry gradually subsided, and some of the previously heated discussions gradually calmed down. The academy seemed to have successfully suppressed the crisis temporarily, and on the surface, it returned to its usual calm.

At this time, in the Spirit Pagoda

A subordinate, head bowed and voice trembling, gave Qian Gu Dongfeng a detailed report on the situation following Shrek Academy's crisis management. After the report, the meeting room fell into a deathly silence.

After a long silence, Qian Gu Dong Feng finally spoke slowly, his voice low and solemn: "Tell your men to stop."

His words were like a boulder, shattering the silence of the conference room and freezing the air instantly.

As expected, it's impossible to bring down Shrek Academy, a tradition that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, with just this one incident.

Qian Gu Dongfeng sighed inwardly. He knew all too well how deep Shrek Academy's foundation was in the world of Soul Masters, like a towering tree with intertwined roots that was difficult to shake.

He understood that Shrek Academy would always be the biggest obstacle for the Spirit Pagoda to become the number one power on the continent. Although it had failed temporarily this time, he would not give up easily. No matter how strong Shrek's foundation was, it would always reveal its weaknesses eventually.

He was waiting for the right moment to deliver another fatal blow to Shrek.

"Closely monitor Shrek Academy's movements, and at the same time strengthen the influence of the Spirit Pagoda throughout the continent," Qian Gu Dongfeng said coldly, his voice revealing an unquestionable authority.

The subordinates nodded in agreement, accepted the order, and left. Silence returned to the meeting room.

Only the eternal east wind remained, lost in thought.

However, once this seed of doubt has been planted, eradicating it won't be so easy!

A sly glint flashed in Qian Gu Dong Feng's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he secretly plotted his next move.

. . . . . .

As expected, although Shrek Academy temporarily stabilized the situation, the public opinion surrounding this incident still had some undeniable impact on the academy.

Some Soul Master families and sects have begun to re-examine their relationship with Shrek Academy. They feel that even though Shrek Academy has a long history and a good reputation, this incident has exposed certain risks.

For those Soul Master families with unique family secrets, they began to consider whether to continue sending their family's outstanding descendants to Shrek Academy for study.

After all, if the family's secrets were leaked into Shrek Academy's hands, and they didn't have the strength of the Body Sect to demand them back, they would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

Many family leaders began to hesitate, worried that their family's secret techniques would be leaked in the academy, thus affecting their family's competitiveness.

Some smaller sects also have similar concerns, as their resources and strength are relatively weak and they are unable to compete with Shrek Academy.

If their lineage is usurped during their studies at the academy, they will be powerless to stop it. Therefore, these sects have begun to consider finding other safer and more reliable training methods.

This concern gradually spread throughout the Soul Master community, posing a potential threat to Shrek Academy's future enrollment efforts. Originally, Shrek Academy was a dream learning paradise for countless Soul Masters, attracting a large number of outstanding students to apply every year.

But now, some parents and families are beginning to take a wait-and-see approach to the college.

Even those Soul Master families and sects that were originally on good terms with Shrek Academy began to secretly investigate and verify whether their disciples studying at Shrek Academy were suspected of leaking information.

They will be more cautious in assessing the security and reliability of each college, and may even place higher demands on the college's admissions policies and confidentiality measures.

This incident not only affected the relationship between Shrek Academy and related Soul Master families and sects, but also changed the landscape of Soul Master education in Douluo Continent to some extent.

Some forces that originally competed with Shrek Academy for enrollment, such as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and other advanced soul master academies, began to take the opportunity to promote their own advantages and attract talented soul masters who had doubts about Shrek Academy to join them.

The Body Sect gained fame because of this incident, attracting more Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls to join, and its strength gradually increased.

Furthermore, due to the sudden rise of the Body Sect, the situation on the entire Douluo Continent has become more delicate and complex, with all parties readjusting their strategies and positions.
