Chapter 155 Yan Shaozhe: Bei Bei, You Must Consider the Bigger Picture
"Yes, the Tang Sect's secret techniques. Dean, based on what I have glimpsed of fate, these techniques are actually very important for soul masters," Huo Yuhao said without a hint of hesitation.
In the Douluo Universe, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was indeed crucial, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill within it was highly effective it had been used from Douluo Dalu 1 all the way to Douluo Dalu 5. Even when Tang San reincarnated into another world, he still used the Mysterious Heaven Skill as a foundation. Clearly, it was a technique hand picked by a God King.
However, according to the original story, the Mysterious Heaven Skill that remained in this world was actually a weakened version.
In Douluo Dalu 3, Tang San once told Tang Wulin that unlocking the Eight Extraordinary Meridians was too dangerous, so he deliberately did not leave behind that method. Because of this, Tang Sect disciples could only practice an incomplete version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
If the complete version had existed, even though hidden weapons had declined, the Tang Sect would still have been able to produce innate full soul power geniuses continuously. The number of powerful figures in the sect would have kept growing, and it never would have fallen to the point where the Ironblood Sect took over its headquarters.
It was clear that Tang San deliberately held back knowledge, likely for his own reasons.
After all, if he was able to separate the Medical and Poison Scriptures from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and hide them in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, what else was he capable of?
Tang San's stated reason was to prevent evildoers from misusing the Medical and Poison Scriptures, but honestly, that excuse was a bit flimsy.
Of course, even if they only obtained the weakened version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it wouldn't be a big deal. At worst, once they had it, Elder Yi could study it and see if it could be enhanced.
After all, Elder Yi had even managed to develop divine artifacts on his own modifying an incomplete Mysterious Heaven Skill should be far easier than creating a divine weapon.
Tang San, on the other hand… Looking at the whole Douluo Universe, his ability to innovate was actually quite weak. Even after so many years in the God Realm, he had never improved the Mysterious Heaven Skill at all.
"Alright!" Jing Hongchen nodded, agreeing. "However, if we demand the Tang Sect's secret techniques, should we also ask Shrek Academy for additional compensation?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Of course, we shouldn't stop at just the Tang Sect's techniques. We need to request other forms of compensation as well. The so called Tang Sect's secret techniques should just be an extra bonus. We can claim that we are simply interested in them and want to study them.
Dean, don't worry Shrek Academy doesn't actually value these techniques much right now."
Huo Yuhao's reasoning wasn't unfounded. After all, in the original story, Shrek Academy didn't even bother saving the Tang Sect, which led to its further decline.
If Shrek Academy had truly understood the full value of the Tang Sect's techniques, they would have certainly stepped in to rescue the Tang Sect and taken the opportunity to incorporate those techniques into their academy.
Even the weakened version of the Tang Sect's techniques still had remarkable effects.
Jing Hongchen's face showed approval. "When Shrek Academy's representatives arrive, I will negotiate with them based on your suggestions.
Although I don't fully understand the value of these Tang Sect techniques, Yuhao, I trust your ability to glimpse fate."
A few days later.
Bei Bei walked down the road, his expression weary. He gazed at the gloomy sky, feeling dejected.
He still hadn't found any news about Tang Ya, which was a huge blow to him.
On top of that, the incident involving Teacher Fan Yu and He Caitou stealing blueprints had stirred up a massive controversy.
Because of this, the Sun Moon Soul Engineering Academy's attitude toward Shrek's exchange students had become increasingly hostile. Even Bei Bei could feel the strange stares directed at him.
To be honest, Bei Bei understood why they felt this way after all, Fan Yu and He Caitou had indeed done something wrong.
If he were a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, he would be furious as well.
But Fan Yu and He Caitou were still Shrek Academy's people, and he had to find a way to get them released.
Unfortunately, he had no solution for now. However, there was finally a turning point in the situation.
Because today, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo had arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy to negotiate their release with Jing Hongchen.
Bei Bei could only hope that Fan Yu and He Caitou would benefit from these talks and be freed as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a male voice called out to him:
"Bei Bei, stop for a moment I need to talk to you."
Recognizing the familiar voice, Bei Bei immediately turned around and saw that it was Yan Shaozhe. He asked curiously, "Dean, weren't you negotiating with Dean Jing? Why did you suddenly ?"
Yan Shaozhe sighed. "Yes, we were negotiating. Fan Yu and He Caitou made a mistake, so the academy must offer compensation for their actions.
However, we've run into some issues with the compensation, and we need your help to resolve them."
"My help?" Bei Bei was confused.
"Yes. Right now, in the Sun Moon Empire, you are the only one who can do this," Yan Shaozhe said with a helpless expression.
He looked at Bei Bei and explained, "Based on our negotiations, they are willing to release Fan Yu and He Caitou.
But aside from the spirit bone compensation we are offering, they also want the Tang Sect's secret techniques as an 'additional offering.'"
Bei Bei's eyes widened. "The Tang Sect's secret techniques? What do they want those for?"
Yan Shaozhe let out a weary sigh. "According to them, the Tang Sect left a significant mark in history, and they want to study its secret techniques."
Without hesitation, Bei Bei refused. "Dean, with all due respect, I cannot hand over the Tang Sect's secret techniques. According to Tang Sect's rules, only Tang Sect disciples are allowed to learn them."
With Tang Ya missing, Bei Bei was essentially acting as the acting sect leader. He was responsible for upholding the Tang Sect's traditions.
He had no intention of violating the rules left by his ancestors.
Yan Shaozhe sighed. "Bei Bei, you are first and foremost a student of Shrek Academy, and only then a member of the Tang Sect. You need to consider the bigger picture!
Frankly, this scandal involving Fan Yu and He Caitou stealing blueprints has severely damaged the academy's reputation.
We need Fan Yu and He Caitou to publicly clear Shrek Academy's name. That is one of the main reasons I want them released as soon as possible."
Bei Bei was puzzled. "Clear our name?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded. "Yes clear our name. I plan to have Fan Yu and He Caitou publicly declare that they were manipulated by evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult, which led them to steal the blueprints."
Recently, during Shrek Academy's operations against evil soul masters, Yan Shaozhe had learned of an organization called the Holy Spirit Cult, though he did not know its exact location.
Bei Bei quickly understood Yan Shaozhe wanted to shift the blame onto the Holy Spirit Cult, distancing Shrek Academy from the scandal and restoring its reputation.
After all, Shrek Academy had stood tall for ten thousand years, as the number one soul master academy.
How could it allow itself to be associated with theft?
