Chapter 84 of the First Person
"Turbid World!" Unable to bear the mocking gazes of the crowd, Cai Yue'er immediately revealed her martial spirit. Just as she was furious at being ridiculed by Turbid World and was about to make a move, He Yushu glanced at her indifferently.
Upon seeing this, Cai Yue'er's initial fervor vanished without a trace.
"Yue'er, shut up. Zhuoshi, you should also say less. How come I never noticed how sharp-tongued you are before?" Yun Ming frowned and used his soul power to press Cai Yue'er back into her seat.
Zhuoshi saw that the time was almost up and prepared to ask for some compensation for emotional distress on behalf of his precious disciples and grand-disciples.
"Ahem! Everyone, please listen to me!" Zhuo Shi stood up again, attracting the attention of the other elders.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Zhuo Shi immediately began his speech: "This time, Cai Yue'er almost caused our Shrek Academy to lose three of its top combatants because of her own selfish desires."
"You may not know this, but my first grand-disciple, Tang Wulin, possesses a Golden Dragon bloodline at the True Dragon level within his martial soul. Although my second grand-disciple, Xu Xiaoyan, has certain limitations in her martial soul, her soul skills are absolutely decisive, which will be an invaluable killing force on the battlefield in the future."
The third grand-disciple, Xie Xie, while not as distinctive as the first two, is also a young Soul Master possessing twin martial souls. They are all pillars of Shrek Academy's future.
At this point, Zhuoshi turned his attention to Cai Yue'er: "But our Silver Moon Douluo, because of his own petty thoughts, wants to shut out my excellent grand-disciples. It's not unreasonable for me to ask for some compensation for emotional distress on behalf of my grand-disciples, is it?"
Upon hearing Zhuoshi's words, the other elders nodded. These three children were all Zhuoshi's grand-disciples, meaning they were Shrek Academy's own people, and they were equally talented. It was only right for Cai Yue'er to compensate these children with some resources.
Cai Yue'er looked at Zhuo Shi in disbelief. She had been thinking of Shrek Academy all along, so why was Zhuo Shi asking her for compensation for emotional distress?
Although he had made things difficult for his three grand-disciples, it was also a form of training. He was tempering their character for their future benefit, and how could Zhuoshi not understand him?
Chapter 160 Appointment as Dean
"Moon, you acted without thinking this time, and Zhuoshi's request was indeed reasonable. Those three children sincerely wanted to join our Shrek Academy, and your actions this time were truly hurtful. It is only right that you compensate those three children."
Yun Ming immediately approved Zhuo Shi's proposal. With Yun Ming's support, even if Cai Yue'er was unwilling, she could only compensate Zhuo Shi's few disciples and grand-disciples.
Just when she thought things were about to turn around, He Yushu dealt Cai Yue'er a heavy blow.
“I propose that Cai Yue’er be removed from her position as dean of the outer court and that a new one be chosen from among the senior members of our group.”
Whoosh! Everyone stared at He Yushu in shock. What was going on? Why was he, who never cared about anything, being so proactive today? Had he changed his ways?
Cai Yue'er's face was pale; she couldn't understand why He Yushu was targeting her like this. In contrast, Yun Ming looked at He Yushu with delight. He had always felt that He Yushu seemed to lack a sense of belonging to Shrek Academy.
Since He Yushu had finally taken the initiative to propose a new election for the dean of the outer academy, Yun Ming immediately raised his hand in agreement, completely ignoring Cai Yue'er's pitiful gaze.
"Yu Shu's idea is great! I agree! What about the others?"
Seeing that Yun Ming had raised his hand, the other elders, except for Cai Yue'er, also raised their hands in agreement.
Although doing this felt a little unfair to Cai Yue'er, she had managed the academy terribly over the years. Coupled with today's events, the other elders were afraid that she might act impulsively and drive all the students away. Wouldn't Shrek Academy be the ones who suffered then?
"Then Yu Shu will take over as the next dean of the outer academy. Does anyone have any objections?" Upon hearing Yun Ming's words, the other elders nodded in agreement with Yun Ming's plan.
And so the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended, with everyone except Cai Yue'er being injured unaffected.
Into the night
Spirit Pagoda Headquarters
With the Heavenly Treasure Silver Toad slung over his left shoulder and the Purple Star Sun above his head, Qian Gu Chenran looked at the beautiful women sitting in his living room with a strange expression. What was going on today? Why were they all having a meal at his house?
"Chenran, you're back." Gu Yue, who had been watching the door, immediately went to greet Qian Gu Chenran as soon as she saw him return.
Na'er grinned her little tiger teeth and glared at Gu Yue, that scheming dragon. She knew that Gu Yue had come to her door today because he had his eye on Chen Ran, whom she had raised with such care.
"Chenran's back! Come and eat!" Just then, Xia Zhengleng came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. Upon seeing her beloved son, who had been in seclusion for many days, return, she immediately and excitedly called him to eat.
Qian Gu Chen Ran took his seat first. Gu Yue originally wanted to sit to Qian Gu Chen Ran's left, but Na'er suddenly came up to her and wouldn't let her leave.
Gu Yue frowned, looking at Na'er with the kind of eyes that seemed to pity a mentally challenged child: "Are you a child?! You're still sulking with me here."
Na'er didn't say anything, she just stood in front of Gu Yue, preventing her from leaving. If Gu Yue went left, she went left; if Gu Yue went right, she went right.
When Gu Yue finally got past Na'er, that annoying troublemaker, she found that the spot next to Qian Gu Chen Ran had already been occupied by Ye Xinglan and Yuan En Ye Hui.
She glared at Na'er, who was grinning behind her. Foolish Na'er, she'd given up her seat to someone else just to prevent her from sitting down.
Once Gu Yue and Na'er were seated, dinner at Qian Gu Chen Ran's house officially began.
Tianbao Silver Toad jumped from Qian Gu Chenran's left shoulder onto the dining table, pointed to a steamed dragon-patterned mottled fish not far away: "Chenran, I want to eat that!"
Qian Gu Chen Ran smiled and put a large piece of fish on A Bao's plate. Everyone else watched curiously as the silver toad kept directing Qian Gu Chen Ran to put various dishes on its plate.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Na'er's eyes. This was the legendary Heavenly Treasure Silver Toad, the strongest soul spirit in their Spirit Pagoda.
Xia Zheng coldly stared at the two walking, ferocious beast-level spirits hanging on her son's body, not knowing what to say.
After finishing the meal at Qian Gu Chen Ran's house, Tian Bao Yin Chan jumped back onto Qian Gu Chen Ran's shoulder and looked curiously at Yuan En Ye Hui.
"Croak! That smells so familiar!"
Upon hearing Tianbao Yinchan's words, the Ziwei Xingyang above flickered. It turned to look at Yuanen Yehui and flickered in agreement as well.
Yuan Enhui looked blankly at the two spirits who suddenly turned their gazes toward her. Why were they both looking at her all of a sudden?
After the meal, Gu Yue, led by Yuan En and Ye Hui, headed to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.
In the room of Qian Gu Chen Ran
He looked at Tianbao Silver Toad curiously: "Abao! What did you mean just now? Does that sound familiar? Was your world also invaded by demons?"
"Croak! A demon? I think that's what it's called. If I'm not mistaken, one of that girl's martial souls is a door that can connect two worlds."
Qian Gu Chenran nodded. "That's interesting! I didn't expect the Demon Unseen to dare invade even A Bao's world."
"I remember those demons. I was young then, but I saw with my own eyes that they had just arrived in our world, been taught a lesson by our experts, and then immediately retreated. Before our experts could even react, they destroyed the gate connecting the two worlds themselves."
Ziwei Xingyang's spiritual energy transmitted the message to Qian Guchenran's ears.
Qian Gu Chen Ran's expression was strange. This demonic plane was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that A Bao's world was too powerful, it withdrew on its own.
So what? You're still not giving up on Douluo Continent just because you think they're weak, right?
Qian Gu Chenran was furious at the thought that he had been targeted by a bunch of cowardly bullies. He decided that he would definitely treat them to a feast of soul-guided fixed-position shells from now on.
Upon hearing the mention of soul tools, Qian Gu Chen Ran also remembered that he hadn't yet drawn the battle armor design he promised to give to Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan.
Ye Xinglan's battle armor is well-designed. After all, the evolution of the Star God Sword was originally influenced by Qian Gu Chenran, the Ziwei Star. Qian Gu Chenran had long envisioned the opponent's battle armor.
However, Yuan Enhui's battle armor presents some challenges. Including Qian Gu Chenran, the design complexity of battle armor for those with dual martial souls far exceeds that of battle armor for those with a single martial soul.
After all, it is almost the most difficult one-word battle armor to design, as it takes into account the advantages of two martial souls and complements their weaknesses. However, in the eyes of Qian Gu Chenran, a sixth-level soul master, it is only a little troublesome.
He took out a stack of blueprints and began designing the Yuanen Night Glow Battle Armor. Tianbao Silver Toad lay on Qiangu Chenran's bed, watching him diligently writing, and smiled, transforming into tiny specks of silver light that dissipated into the air.
This is how it created a clone. Now that its mission is complete, it should return to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to continue stabilizing the fortune.
Ziwei Xingyang also transformed into a speck of purple light and dissipated into the air along with Tianbao Yinchan. Qiangu Chenran glanced back at the empty room without any sadness. After absorbing Abao and the others' souls, they would have plenty of time to meet again.
Poseidon Island
Zhuo Shi glanced at Wu Changkong, who was absorbing the Millennium Profound Ice Marrow, and nodded in satisfaction. This rebellious disciple's talent hadn't disappointed him.
Boom boom boom!
"Enter!"
Shen Yi pushed open the door and brought the exam results sheets of Tang Wulin and the other two to Zhuo Shi. Zhuo Shi looked at the sheets and nodded in satisfaction at the three's performance in the exam.
No wonder he is his disciple's grand-disciple, just like him.
Chapter 161 Class 1, Grade 1
"Tsk tsk! Look at this character. Even under the temptation of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Soul Bone, he did not betray his teammates. He is indeed worthy of being my disciple and grand-disciple. He is truly outstanding."
Hearing the teacher's praise, Shen Yi smiled and nodded. Although they weren't as outstanding as Gu Yue, the trio from Donghai still performed brilliantly in the later parts of the story.
With these three, Shrek Academy's future is bright!
"Xiao Yi! Starting tomorrow, you and your senior brother will be teaching Class 1 of the first year. I've looked at the roster this time, and with the four monsters you're teaching, this year's Class 1 can be said to be the strongest freshman class in Shrek Academy's history of a hundred years... no, it should be a thousand years."
"Teacher, what if Elder Cai loses face this time...?"
Although Shen Yi didn't say it explicitly, Zhuo Shi understood her meaning. She was simply afraid that Cai Yue'er, that crazy woman, would use her position as the dean of the outer academy to retaliate against Tang Wulin and the other two.
"Hmph! After a vote by all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, that crazy old woman Cai Yue'er has been removed from her position as dean. From now on, Yu Shu will take over. Xiao Yi, you just need to focus on teaching."
There were already some people dissatisfied with what she had done over the years, and now, well, since Yu Shu has voluntarily chosen to take over as dean, then let Cai Yue'er get out of here. Our Shrek Academy isn't going to fail just because she's gone.”
Professor Cai is no longer serving as dean! What great news! Upon hearing that Cai Yue'er was no longer the dean of the Foreign Languages Department, Shen Yi was so happy he almost jumped up on the spot.
"Alright, Xiao Yi, go and get some rest. You won't have so much free time once school starts again."
"Good teacher!"
Watching his apprentice humming a tune as she left, Zhuoshi cursed Cai Yue'er's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind once more.
Look at what this crazy woman has driven her apprentice to.
The time for Shrek Academy to start school has arrived.
Lingbing Square
Apart from the first-year students, the students from the other five grades stared in shock at He Yushu, who was being escorted to the front by all the teachers.
They were all shocked that the dean of the School of Foreign Languages had been changed so suddenly. But when He Yushu gave his speech, they all listened with utmost attention.
Although it is unknown why the Sea God Pavilion suddenly changed its dean, those who can become the dean of the outer academy are not weak.
After He Yushu finished his speech, the teachers of each class led their students into the classroom.
Led by Shen Yi and Wu Changkong, the students of Class One headed to their classroom. Xu Xiaoyan looked around but still couldn't find Gu Yue. She looked at Tang Wulin worriedly and said, "Captain, why can't I see Sister Gu Yue?"
"Didn't see Gu Yue? Maybe something happened to her!" Tang Wulin said uncertainly. Gu Yue's entrance exam score was 100; the academy would never give up on such a prodigy. Her absence could only mean something was wrong.
"Exactly! Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about ourselves. I heard that Shrek Academy requires contribution points for many cultivation resources and simulation fields. If we don't want to fall behind in the future, we need to find a way to earn contribution points!"
At this point, Xie Xie sighed helplessly. Because the incident in the original story was no longer involved, the three little ones from the East Sea were naturally not the work-study students who had to pay for their meals as in the original story.
With Shen Yi's help, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were naturally assigned to the same dormitory. Since Gu Yue chose to return to the Spirit Pagoda, Xu Xiaoyan shared a dormitory with other girls.
With Tang Wulin, a young genius blacksmith, around, Xie Xie and his companion were able to glean a lot of information from other students whose family elders had attended Shrek Academy.
Upon hearing Xie Xie recount the information they had gathered yesterday, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
She had originally planned to find a way or rare treasures at Shrek Academy to help her evolve her martial soul. But now, without contribution points, her plan couldn't proceed at all.
"Tsk! I should have seriously studied for a second job back then!"
"Yes!"
