The next day, at Shrek Academy's admissions office!
Cai Yue'er found Xu Xiaoyan, who was responsible for recording student files, and asked, "Xiaoyan, how's the admission situation?"
Xu Xiaoyan excitedly handed over the files, "Elder Cai, these sects apparently haven't fooled us. Each disciple seems to be carefully selected, and they all meet the admission standards!"
"Not only that, but a few of the students even have outstanding talents..."
After speaking, she specifically pointed out the students who were specially marked...
Cai Yue'er briefly browsed through them and said with satisfaction, "Indeed, very good. As long as they are well-cultivated, they are bound to become excellent Soul Masters in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan pouted and said, "But... Elder Cai, although we have students now, it seems like our academy doesn't have any teachers?"
The teachers at Shrek Academy mostly perished in the last attack!
To date, only the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion remain!
Cai Yue'er's expression became more solemn, "This... truly is a problem. Given that most Soul Masters have joined the Spirit Pagoda, hiring suitable teachers is very difficult."
"Therefore..."
Xu Xiaoyan blinked, "Therefore?"
Cai Yue'er continued, "Elder Ya Li and I discussed, and we decided to have the Shrek Seven Monsters take on the teaching duties for the short term!"
"Of course, we will also provide assistance!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't believe it, "Wha... what? Elder Cai, us becoming teachers? Isn't that inappropriate?"
After all, they had never done such things before!
Cai Yue'er gave her a knowing look, "What's inappropriate about it? Are you lacking in strength or talent?"
Xu Xiaoyan replied sheepishly, "It seems neither!"
Only then did Cai Yue'er pat her on the shoulder and softly said, "Then that's settled, right? To have someone of a Hyper Douluo level as an instructor, those newly admitted students should be very willing!"
Faced with this hefty responsibility, Xu Xiaoyan did not immediately agree but thought for a moment, seriously saying, "Elder Cai, I... I'll go and ask the others. After all, teaching students is not an easy task!"
If, due to their faults, the student's talents are wasted, wouldn't they be letting down the hopes of the various sects?
Cai Yue'er returned the files, nodded, and said, "Alright, go ahead, and tell the others to have confidence in themselves. Monsters understand monsters the best!"
Watching the former leave, her gaze locked onto a man not far away!
Narrowing her eyes, she said, "Hmm? Is that... Zhen Hua??"
Zhen Hua also noticed her and stepped forward...
He was the first to speak, "Elder Cai, long time no see."
Cai Yue'er was somewhat perplexed, "President Zhenhua, why are you here? Why didn't you have your subordinates inform us in advance so we could prepare?"
Zhen Hua smiled bitterly, "Elder Cai, you're too polite. I'm no longer the president of the Blacksmith Association, so there's no reason for me to trouble others!"
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips, acknowledging, "I... I see."
She had heard rumors that Zhen Hua had voluntarily resigned as president, but she hadn't expected it to be true!
After a brief pause, she invited, "Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, let's go inside and talk."
Zhen Hua shook his head, "No, I'm here to see that boy Wulin. Elder Cai, do you know where he is?"
Cai Yue'er made no attempt to conceal it and responded, "Wulin? I believe he should be in the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Zhen Hua was stunned and asked again, "Can Elder Cai perhaps notify him?"
He's well aware that outsiders cannot enter the Sea God's Pavilion!
Of course, Cai Yue'er did not refuse, "Alright, Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, please wait. I will go fetch Wulin now!"
With those words, she turned and went inside Shrek Academy...
Only then did Zhen Hua let out a breath of relief...
Initially, he didn't want to come, but considering that Tang Wulin, as the Sea God Pavilion Master, would inevitably stand against Gu Yuena in the future...
This is what made him change his mind...
...
The news about the failed mission quickly reached the Holy Spirit Cult, causing several deacons to discuss...
One of the deacons sighed, "So the plan failed after all? Shrek Academy has never let down its guard, has it?"
Another deacon let out a cold "humph," "It must have been those fools revealing a flaw. The disguise techniques we used could not possibly be detected by spiritual power!"
"That might not be the case; perhaps those Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion have already discovered a means to break through. For now, we should inform the Sect Hierarch about this matter!"
Just as the words were spoken, a lifeless voice sounded...
"No need, I have already heard!"
The Ghost Emperor's figure appeared without warning, staring coldly at them...
These evil Soul Masters all bowed their heads in unison, speaking in a tone of reverence, "Sect Hierarch!!"
Since he appointed over ten Hyper Douluo level protectors, he once again obtained the supreme authority within the Holy Spirit Cult!
Even the Demon Emperor cannot challenge his authority!
The Ghost Emperor withdrew his gaze and emotionlessly said, "Those fools couldn't have been exposed due to spiritual detection. They must have fallen into the traps set up in advance by those Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!"
He understands Shrek Academy very well and knows all too well the Sea God Pavilion Elders' wariness of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters...
The leading deacon swallowed and courageously asked, "Sect Hierarch, what should we do next? Because of the Spirit Pagoda's massive absorption of Soul Masters, our Holy Spirit Cult cannot expand in the shadows!"
Unless we took action against the Xingluo Empire and Douling Empire, but doing so would go against our original intention of returning to the Soul Land!
The Ghost Emperor chuckled lightly, "What should we do? Naturally, we should plant chess pieces in the Spirit Pagoda!"
With such a massive influx of Soul Masters, the Spirit Pagoda cannot possibly exclude all of our people!
The former quickly replied, "Yes, Sect Hierarch, I will arrange this immediately!"
However, the Ghost Emperor waved his hand, "There's no rush for this matter. I sent those fellows to infiltrate Shrek Academy mainly to investigate the internal situation!"
"Although the plan didn't succeed, it did expose a major issue with Shrek Academy!"
"Their teaching force has become exceedingly scarce due to the last attack!"
"I doubt the cautious Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion will hire teachers from the outside again. What will be the result if this continues?"
The deacons exchanged glances and were suddenly enlightened...
It seemed the Sect Hierarch's true aim was to fundamentally undermine Shrek Academy's educational standard...
When this academy no longer deserves the title of the "number one academy on the Land," it will be the first step towards its demise!!
Therefore, they addressed him again in a respectful tone, "The Sect Hierarch is wise!"
Before they could say anything more, the Demon Emperor, radiating a chilling killing intent, charged in...
Upon seeing the Ghost Emperor, he shouted angrily without giving any quarter, "Ghost Emperor, do you know what you've done?? You've actually appointed twelve protectors without permission!!"
"Are you disregarding me, the Demon Emperor??"
