After Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui fell, no new figures appeared on the competition stage for a long time.
Those Evil Soul Masters hiding all over Douluo Continent, and those Super Douluo who had managed to survive until now, were all cowering in their hiding places and trembling at this moment.
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui of the Holy Spirit Cult had already died, and no one in the World could stop Shrek Academy anymore.
Lin Feng stood atop the highest viewing platform and slowly spoke with a smile.
"Starting from today, on Douluo Continent, all Evil Soul Masters will exit the stage."
With the dropping of this sentence, scenes once again emerged within the light curtain.
Those hidden Evil Soul Masters, those leftover fish who still held a sliver of luck, suddenly froze in their tracks at this moment, and then turned into blood mists one after another.
The speed at which the images flashed by was very fast, but every single frame was crystal clear.
Those Evil Soul Masters who usually hid deep in the mountains and old forests, hid in the alleys of the marketplace, and disguised themselves as ordinary people to lurk for decades, without exception, all dissipated.
Of course, compared to those low-tier Evil Soul Masters, the Evil Soul Masters between Super Douluo and Limit Douluo could be said to have decreased quite a bit.
After all, the Holy Spirit Cult had already recruited most of the high-tier Evil Soul Masters, and there were not many high-tier Evil Soul Masters wandering outside to begin with.
Now, the Holy Spirit Cult was destroyed, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui died, Long Xiaoyao committed suicide, and the remaining sporadic Evil Soul Masters completely became history within that single sentence from Lin Feng.
On Douluo Continent, watching those scenes of Evil Soul Masters turning into blood mists, ordinary commoners couldn't help but cry tears of joy.
Some knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the direction of that Sky Shrek Academy.
Some hugged the people beside them and wept bitterly; the fear and suppression of many years were finally completely released at this moment.
Some waved their arms and shouted loudly, their voices turning hoarse from excitement.
"Long live Shrek Academy!"
"Those damned Evil Soul Masters are finally all dead!"
"Great! Great! Wonderful!"
Those ordinary people who used to tremble at the mention of the name of Evil Soul Masters in the deep of night could finally straighten their backs now and finally sleep peacefully at night.
That wave of joyous cheers gathered together, resounding from every corner of Douluo Continent, shaking the clouds.
However, in sharp contrast to this was the atmosphere beneath the Golden Ancient Tree of that Counterfeit Shrek Academy.
The situation here could be said to be quite complex.
Yan Shaozhe was dead, and Ma Xiaotao was dead as well. Moreover, from the moment the two of them were classified as Evil Soul Masters, the reputation of the entire Counterfeit Shrek Academy had already plummeted to rock bottom.
The former number one academy now had two Evil Soul Masters; one was the Dean of the Spirit Soul Department, and the other was the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Elder Song stood in the crowd, looking at Xian Liner who was crying into a tearful mess, and then looked at the listless crowd. An indescribable bitterness churned in her heart.
Her daughter, Xian Liner, had just watched with her own eyes the man she loved for a lifetime die before her.
No matter how many wrong things Yan Shaozhe had done, in Xian Liner's heart, he was still her lover.
Elder Song looked again at Cai Meier beside her; the tears on her face had still not dried by now.
And Qian Duoduo—the expression on his old face could be said to be quite complex, and there was simply no way to tell what he was thinking.
Elder Song let out a deep sigh. At this time, as a senior figure, she had to start stabilizing people's hearts. Then, she spoke to gather everyone's attention onto herself.
"Listen to me, everyone."
Everyone's gazes all fell upon Elder Song, seeming to want to see what she intended to say.
Elder Song was silent for a moment, then spoke once more.
"Next... our Shrek Academy is going to change its name."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Qian Duoduo looked at Elder Song with an expression of disbelief. Those eyes were filled with utter disbelief, completely unexpected that such a thing would happen.
"Change the name?"
"Elder Song, the moniker of our Shrek Academy has been used for ten thousand years! Are we really going to change the name today?"
His tone carried a hard-to-accept resistance, as if a piece of flesh had been cut from his body.
Bei Bei stood out at this time. He glanced at Qian Duoduo, then spoke up to agree with Elder Song.
"Dean Qian, I know you can't bear to part with this name."
"But if we want this academy of ours to continue to be preserved, then the name Shrek... really must be abandoned."
Bei Bei paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping across everyone present.
"Right now, that Shrek Academy in the Sky has already achieved extremely high prestige, and the commoners of the entire Douluo Continent treat them as the true Shrek, while this academy of ours..."
He took a deep breath.
"This academy of ours produced Evil Soul Masters; the Dean of the Spirit Soul Department is an Evil Soul Master, and the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils is also an Evil Soul Master."
"Before that Shrek Academy in the Sky even makes a move, we will probably be torn into pieces by the angry commoners first."
Bei Bei's voice sank.
"Therefore, let's change the name."
"From now on, we are no longer Shrek Academy."
Elder Song looked at Bei Bei and nodded slightly. This child still understood the general situation; Elder Mu had not misjudged the person, it was just a pity... born at the wrong time. Then she spoke to add:
"In that case, let's vote on the renaming proposal for Shrek Academy..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xian Liner abruptly raised her head.
"Enough!"
Her voice was sharp and hoarse, sounding quite sorrowful and quite suppressed.
"I don't want to get involved in these matters right now."
Her eye sockets were still red, and tears were still hanging on her cheeks. After saying these words, she directly left this place, not knowing where she would go.
Qian Duoduo stood in place, watching Xian Liner's retreating back. The expression on that face became even more complex.
He was silent for a long time, and ultimately just sighed helplessly, not chasing after her.
He knew Xian Liner needed time, and he also knew that even if he chased after her, he couldn't say anything useful.
After all, he had accompanied Xian Liner by her side all these years, accompanying her without a single complaint, but he was also very clear that even though he and Xian Liner had been married for so many years, deep inside Xian Liner's heart, there was always a Yan Shaozhe.
Especially since Yan Shaozhe had even died right in front of her, dying in front of all of them.
Then Yan Shaozhe would henceforth become a white moonlight figure.
Qian Duoduo's mouth twitched, revealing a bitter smile.
Even though Yan Shaozhe was defined as an Evil Soul Master, in their hearts, the mistakes Yan Shaozhe had committed were always just minor mistakes after all.
Especially since the person was already dead, could he still not be forgiven?
Qian Duoduo shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Elder Song withdrew her gaze from the direction Xian Liner had left, and looked again at the remaining crowd.
"Since that's the case, does anyone else have any objections?"
No one spoke up; Bei Bei was the first to raise his hand.
Then came Elder Zhuang; although his face still carried reluctance, his hand was still raised.
Finally, everyone passed this proposal. From then on, there was only one Shrek Academy across the entire Douluo Continent.
