Chapter 351 Parliament
To be honest, Wu Xuan's proposal received unanimous approval from the elders, even surprising Elder Xuan.
Ma Xiaotao, seated at the end, gleamed with admiration; no wonder he was her man. This guy really seemed like the right person to be the Sea God Pavilion Master.
"The second matter to be discussed is the enrollment plan for five months from now. My initial idea is to expand the enrollment of Soul Guidance Department students and lower the difficulty of the entrance exam for the first year of Martial Soul Department. Most importantly, we will add a new admission method based on the existing recommendation letters, which I call the letter of introduction."
"The method of issuing the letter of introduction is different from the previous recommendation letters. The letter of introduction is a self-recommendation by the new student to introduce themselves to the academy."
"New students who are confident in their soul power level or their talent can bring their letter of introduction and introduce themselves on the day of enrollment. If they pass, they will be admitted directly without examination," Wu Xuan explained.
Upon hearing this, the elders' eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea. The recommendation letter from Shrek Academy evolved from the suggestion of the nobles of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms to establish the Shrek Outer Academy. Abruptly canceling it would certainly cause great dissatisfaction among the nobles of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, and mishandling it would severely damage Shrek's reputation.
Wu Xuan's recommendation letter essentially opened a small door for the Shrek Outer Academy. However, entering this small door is not so simple. Students must be eleven years old with a soul power exceeding level twenty, or be able to demonstrate their talent and abilities. In short, there are no fixed thresholds; as long as a student is special enough, even someone who has just broken through to level ten soul power can join the Outer Academy for a three-month basic course.
However, if they fail the advancement assessment after three months, they will still be ruthlessly eliminated.
"Then may I ask, Master, will the expansion of the Soul Guidance Department's enrollment affect the enrollment of new students in my Martial Soul Department?" Yan Shaozhe stood up and asked.
"What do you mean, you old fox? Are you jealous of the development of my Soul Guidance Department?" Qian Duoduo stood up and glared angrily at Yan Shaozhe.
"Ahem!" Wu Xuan coughed twice, and the two who were about to continue arguing immediately fell silent.
"Please calm down, both of you. The subsequent enrollment of new students may have some impact on the Martial Soul Department's enrollment, but the impact will not be too great. After all, in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, only a minority of Soul Masters are suitable for cultivating Soul Guidance Devices. Therefore, my proposed solution is that after the upgrade assessment three months after the new students, the Soul Guidance Department will be qualified to recruit some students who cultivate both Martial Soul and Soul Guidance Devices to cultivate Soul Guidance Devices. However, students who do not wish to do so cannot be forced," Wu Xuan said.
"Alright, I accept Master's proposal," Yan Shaozhe finally nodded. Wu Xuan explained clearly: those with talent suited for Soul Tool cultivation should go to the Soul Tool Department; those who didn't pass the freshman entrance exam could also go to the Soul Tool Department as long as their strength wasn't too bad; and those with better talent could choose dual cultivation. Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement. Wu Xuan's plan was already very considerate of the Soul Tool Department, as it takes time for people's minds to change.
"Furthermore, Elder Mu instructed me before his death that the academy should promote the integration of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department. Fifty percent of the income from all the academy's businesses in Shrek City should be given to the Soul Tool Department. In addition, the Soul Tool Department should provide the inspection team with at least two custom-made Soul Tools free of charge." Wu Xuan suddenly dropped a bombshell at the end of the discussion.
Fifty percent of the income from all businesses—that was an enormous sum of money. The elders were stunned for a moment, then looked at Elder Xuan beside them. Seeing that Elder Xuan also nodded, everyone was relieved. This was indeed Elder Mu's dying wish.
"The third matter is the handover of various academy affairs. As per Elder Mu's dying instructions, Dean Yan of the Martial Soul Department will be entering the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion for secluded cultivation, and the position of Dean of the Martial Soul Department will be handed over to Vice Dean Cai. The position of Vice Dean will be handed over to Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan. Han Ruoruo will serve as the chief instructor of the Control Department of the Inner Academy's Martial Soul Department, and Xiao Tao will serve as the Deputy Hall Master of the Surveillance Hall to assist in handling emergencies. The positions of the other elders will remain unchanged for the time being." Wu Xuan announced to everyone.
The elders nodded to each other, indicating their approval of Wu Xuan's arrangement. Most of these old fellows had no direct descendants. Firstly, they had been so engrossed in cultivation in their youth that they hadn't paid attention to it, and secondly, because their martial souls were too powerful, it was difficult for them to have offspring. Therefore, they all considered the academy their own home, and they were very happy that Wu Xuan hadn't let them all go back to retire.
"The last matter is the six full-body soul bones left behind by Elder Mu after his passing! What do you all think we should do with them?" Seeing no objections, Wu Xuan waved his hand and took out the six soul bones left behind by Elder Mu before his death.
Looking at the six high-quality soul bones floating in the air before them, the elders' breathing became heavy. The six soul bones in Elder Mu's body were basically from the academy, so after his death, Elder Mu returned the six soul bones to the academy. Wu Xuan wasn't surprised at all; even after the elders passed away, their soul bones would remain. The academy entrusting them with its use didn't mean the soul bones were simply given to them.
"Sect Master, Bei Bei is Elder Mu's direct descendant. I propose that he use the 100,000-year-old right arm soul bone left by Elder Mu," Elder Lin Huiqun, who was in charge of the Treasure Pavilion, proposed.
"Sect Master, Le Xuan is now the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department. I propose that she use a soul bone," Cai Meier suggested.
"Sect Master, Han Ruoruo has now entered my Teaching Hall. As the Hall Master, I will shamelessly apply for a soul bone for her," Elder Qin Zi'an said, bowing. Elder Li had just thought of trying to get a soul bone for Ma Xiaotao, but the latter quickly refused. Now she only lacked the most precious torso bone, and Wu Xuan had instructed her not to fuse torso bones casually.
Wu Xuan calmly surveyed the entire room. Almost every elder present had a full set of soul bones. Although the quality of the fused soul bones varied, some elders had even fused with thousand-year-old soul bones in their youth. But this did not hinder their improvement in strength.
After all, not everyone has the ability to obtain a full set of ten-thousand-year soul bones.
"Elder Lin's suggestion is very meaningful. You can pass on this right arm soul bone on my behalf. However, when you give the soul bone, you must make it clear to the Tang Sect that this one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone is given to Bei Bei by the academy, and it does not mean that this one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone is given to the Tang Sect. After Bei Bei's death, this soul bone will be taken back." Wu Xuan's expression was calm. After giving his instructions, he directly threw out the one-hundred-thousand-year right arm soul bone.
"Yes, thank you, Pavilion Master!" Elder Lin bowed deeply.
"In addition, the suggestions of you two elders have also been approved. Senior sisters, come and choose the soul bones that suit you!" Wu Xuan said, pushing the remaining five soul bones forward. The five soul bones floated in front of the two girls.
Then, Zhang Lexuan happily chose the eight-thousand-year torso soul bone, while Han Ruoruo chose the seven-thousand-year head soul bone.
As for Elder Mu's remaining 100,000-year-old soul bone in his left arm and right leg, neither woman chose them. After all, 100,000-year-old soul bones were extremely precious, and without making a significant contribution, they felt embarrassed to choose them.
