DD2-Chapter 382: The Think Tanks of the Four Empires Discuss Together How to Justify the Destruction of Shrek Academy
[After hearing what the Sun Moon Emperor said,]
[Du Bu Si did not waste too much time.]
[He quickly conveyed all of Huo Yuhao's requirements, just as he had done before in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.]
[As for the Sun Moon Emperor, after hearing Du Bu Si's requirements, he could only agree.]
[After all, Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect were far too strong now.]
[These are five god-level combat forces!]
[The two sides are not on the same level of combat power at all!]
[As long as Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect were willing, they could take control of the Sun Moon Empire at any time.]
[Under such circumstances, even the Sun Moon Emperor would naturally be submissive in the face of Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect.]
[So they quickly expressed their agreement.]
[Du Bu Si left satisfied after hearing this, ready to report back to Huo Yuhao in the Body Sect.]
[As for the Sun Moon Emperor, seeing this scene left him feeling increasingly regretful.]
["If I had only known this, why did I act in the first place?"]
["The previous choice was truly wrong!"]
[He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, lamenting the mistake he had made.]
[However, the Sun Moon Emperor also understood that things had come to this point, and feeling regret was futile. There is no such thing as regret medicine in the world.]
[So he could only accept this harsh reality and prepare to contact the other major empires to discuss how to deal with Shrek Academy.]
At this moment, in the gap between the planes, many soul masters witnessed the events unfolding on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that the pattern of the entire parallel world has been completely established."
"Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect have truly become the supreme existence."
"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought such an ending would come about!"
They continued to lament. However, some soul masters mocked the parallel world's Sun-Moon Emperor.
After all, many of them had been dissatisfied with the Sun Moon Emperor for a long time. Had he not made that wrong choice that day, Huo Yuhao would not have ended up in such a dire situation. Thus, seeing the Sun Moon Emperor regret so much on screen, many soul masters in the gap between the planes began to laugh heartily.
However, Bibi Dong was more focused on the affairs of Shrek Academy. After observing the content on the screen, Bibi Dong quickly commented, "But."
"Given the current situation, Shrek Academy is truly finished now!"
"It's remarkably satisfying!" She laughed heartily.
After hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Renxue quickly responded, "Isn't it?"
"Now that the senior leaders of Shrek Academy have all been wiped out, this massive academy is left leaderless."
"And most importantly, Shrek Academy has offended the Body Sect, so the major empires will impose sanctions to appease the Body Sect."
"In this way, I believe Shrek Academy will be disbanded soon!"
Qian Renxue articulated her opinion.
Bibi Dong laughed uproariously,
"It should have been dealt with long ago!"
"Such a deceitful institution should have faced consequences ages ago!"
"Haha, let's enjoy watching the final fate of this deceitful institution!"
After a derisive chuckle, Bibi Dong returned her attention to the screen.
At this moment, on the screen:
[After a brief exchange of letters, the emperors of the four empires on the Douluo Continent all decided to convene in the Heavenly Soul Empire.]
[Dealing with Shrek Academy was of paramount importance.]
[While Shrek Academy itself was not their primary concern, how to handle the situation effectively was crucial, as they needed to convey their intentions to Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect clearly and satisfy them.]
[Otherwise, they would undoubtedly face difficulties in the future.]
[The challenge, however, was that Shrek Academy had long enjoyed an impeccable reputation. After all, it was still recognized as the number one academy on the Douluo Continent. Therefore, even if the four empires wanted to act against Shrek Academy, they needed appropriate and legitimate reasons. Otherwise, the general populace would reject their actions, which could damage their credibility and portray them as incompetent.]
[Under these circumstances, the leaders of the four empires decided to bring together their think tanks in the Heavenly Soul Empire to discuss the matter collaboratively.]
[This way, everyone could express their views face-to-face, communicate effectively, and arrive at the most suitable course of action.]
[Moreover, since the Heavenly Soul Empire was quite close to the Body Sect, the outcome would depend on Huo Yuhao's decision, making it convenient for them to gauge his attitude.]
[After deliberation, the senior officials of the four empires decided to head to the Heavenly Soul Empire for this discussion and began their journey to the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire.]
[Upon their long-awaited arrival, the Heavenly Soul Empire had gone to great lengths to arrange a warm and welcoming venue and accommodations.]
[At this moment, they all appeared cheerful, particularly the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, who demonstrated their newfound closeness. Though they had clashed in the past, they tacitly reconciled now, realizing that further conflict was meaningless.]
[The four empires were, in truth, in the same boat.]
[The strength of the Body Sect and Huo Yuhao above was overwhelmingly powerful. Without unity, the four empires saw no future for themselves. They were keenly aware of the choices that would allow their nations to survive in these perilous times.]
[The meeting commenced shortly after. As the host, the Sun Moon Emperor sent his think tank representative and began soliciting ideas from the think tanks of the other empires.]
["Everyone, what do you think is the best justification for us to impose sanctions on Shrek Academy this time?"]
[The think tanks from the other empires shared their strategies. This time, they were sincere in their approach. After hearing the inquiry from the Heavenly Soul Empire's think tank, the think tank of the Star Luo Empire took the lead in offering their suggestions.]
["I believe we can start with the dark sides of Shrek Academy."]
["Every organization has its flaws, especially one like Shrek Academy, which showcases more propaganda than actual ability."]
[Since everyone present was leaders and thinkers from major empires, they were not ordinary citizens of the Douluo Continent. They were quite familiar with the reality of Shrek Academy.]
[Despite being labeled as the top academy for years, Shrek Academy's teaching quality fell short of being number one.]
[Their reputation stemmed mainly from their strong senior management and their consistent recruitment of geniuses, which made their teaching appear commendable.]
[However, the reality was quite the opposite! Shrek Academy's educational methods were underwhelming! Many parents on the Douluo Continent expressed dissatisfaction with Shrek Academy each year, and the academy was notorious for randomly expelling students. Hence, many societal grievances toward Shrek Academy had existed prior. These criticisms were silenced for years due to its power.]
[Now, the strategic thinkers of the Star Luo Empire believed those grievances could be a tool.]
[Thus, he addressed the high-ranking officials before him: "If we want to dismantle Shrek Academy, we must first inform the public that it's not an exceptional and honorable academy."]
["Otherwise, even if we employ forceful measures against them, the public will ultimately reject it, leading to backlash that no one desires."]
[A leader from the Heavenly Soul Empire nodded in agreement and added, "Yes, I concur."]
["I believe we shouldn't rush to assault Shrek Academy, but rather use public sentiment to tarnish their image first, reshaping the public's perception of them."]
["After all, Shrek Academy is merely an empty shell at present, with the senior management now deceased. Thus, no matter what we do, even if we directly discredit them, they cannot retaliate."]
["Moreover, Shrek Academy isn't clean either. We don't need to overstate our claims against them. We can simply unveil the myriad of hidden scandals they have accumulated over the years, which is more than enough to bring them down."]
[The comments made by the think tank from the Heavenly Soul Empire resonated with many intelligent individuals present.]
[Their envisioned approach mirrored this sentiment. As a result, after hearing the words of the Heavenly Soul Empire's representative, another sage from the Dou Spirit Empire promptly stood up.]
[He snapped his fingers, and several guards emerged immediately. They held large, thick documents in their hands and, as they approached everyone present, distributed one to each attendee. The sage then proclaimed:]
["Your thoughts align with mine! I also believe that to break through Shrek Academy, we must begin with public opinion and dismantle its seemingly invincible reputation! Only then can we launch an actual robust offensive against them."]
["Before coming here, I had my people begin collecting black materials about Shrek Academy from over the years."]
["Everyone, please have a look."]
[After he finished speaking, he began flipping through the documents, and as he did, dense texts and images displayed upon them.]
[Everyone present began to review the contents, and upon examination, they saw each detail clearly.]
[It turned out that many scandals regarding Shrek Academy were documented here. For example, why did Shrek Academy require a letter of recommendation from city lords for admission?]
[In truth, it was because Shrek Academy had established a private arrangement with those city lords! Although they didn't charge exorbitant tuition fees, every city lord was required to pay monthly tributes to Shrek Academy!]
[Only in this way could the city lords decide whether students were qualified for Shrek Academy. Otherwise, those city lords were effectively marginalized. Some city lords who were unwilling to pay tribute would not be acknowledged by the academy, regardless of having a letter of recommendation.]
[Consequently, Shrek Academy received a massive fortune from these city lords, leading to its incredible wealth over the years!]
[However, how could these city lords engage in a losing business? While they had to pay tributes to Shrek Academy, undoubtedly, the parents of those students seeking admission also had to pay bribes to the lords!]
[Even those of a certain status would provide gifts and financial incentives when seeking favors. For those without status, significantly larger sums were required for their children to attend Shrek Academy.]
[The amount of gifts these city lords received was substantial. Although each had limited admission slots each year, everyone wanted their children to study at Shrek Academy! This trend led to an influx of gifts! Ultimately, even if only a few were successfully recommended, the gifts given by others would not be returned by the city lord.]
[Thus, while they were required to pay tributes to Shrek Academy every month, these city lords enjoyed lucrative profits and grew wealthy.]
[And this was just the first scandal concerning Shrek Academy!]
