In the hall on the first floor of Seagod Pavilion, six elders of Seagod Pavilion including Xuan Zi and four deans including Yan Shaozhe sat down at the oval table in an orderly manner, with a solemn look on their faces.
This is the highest power core of Shrek Academy. Everyone present here is a core figure of Shrek Academy. The six elders are all Super Douluo-level powerhouses, and among the four deans of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department who are at the end of the seat, there are also two Super Douluos and two Titled Douluos.
Eight Super Douluo and two Titled Douluo, this is the strongest foundation that allows Shrek Academy to dominate the world.
Yan Shaozhe and the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Meir, sat at the last seats on the left, opposite them were the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Liner, and the Vice Dean, Qian Duoduo.
At this moment, everyone was silent, waiting for the Seagod Pavilion Master, Mu En, who was sitting on the recliner in front of the main seat at the long table and had the cultivation level of Dragon God Douluo at level ninety-nine, to speak.
"Let's start the meeting now that everyone is here. Xiao Song, you will host it."
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded, and many elders straightened their bodies.
Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao looked at each other imperceptibly, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes——
In the past, at this time, Elder Mu would let Yan Shaozhe, his personal disciple, preside over the meeting for him. Why did he change someone today? However, Elder Song's strength and qualifications were top-notch, so he was qualified to be the host. Neither of them questioned it.
Elder Song, who was sitting in the second seat on the right side of the long table, stood up with a smile, nodded to everyone, and then began to speak: "Everyone, Elder Mu called this temporary meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss the training of three students. They are all very talented and have the potential to become Super Douluo."
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi's eyes were filled with more doubts. Aren't there only Le Xuan and Bei Bei? Why is there one more?
"Bei Bei just entered school last year. In the first grade, no one can compare to him except Xu Sanshi. Could it be Xu Sanshi?"
As the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe knew all the geniuses in the External Academy very well. He immediately thought of Xu Sanshi, the only person in the External Academy who could compete with Bei Bei.
These two, one is an offensive system, the other a defensive system, are the best in their respective fields, like two shining stars. Both have been included in the core disciples of the Wuhun system, and he is very optimistic about them.
But... thinking of his experience in Xuanming Sect, Yan Shaozhe's eyes couldn't help but darken, and he exerted slight force on the knuckles of his right hand.
"This first child is the current top talent in our inner courtyard, that is, Le Xuan. We have all watched her grow up. She is a person of good family background and will definitely become a pillar of our Shrek Academy in the future."
Old Song chuckled and praised Zhang Lexuan a few words. Everyone, including Xuan Zi, smiled and expressed their agreement.
In terms of background, no disciple in the academy is more worthy of the honor of Shrek people than Zhang Lexuan. Even Beibei has the mark of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
"During the Xingdou group, Le Xuan turned a disaster into a blessing and absorbed the 100,000-year eighth ring and 100,000-year soul bone. She will definitely become a Super Douluo in the future. This is an unparalleled talent."
"The academy will also hunt for the most suitable spirit ring for her when she breaks through level 90. In this way, as long as she has enough time, it will be easy for her to cultivate to level 98, and there is a great hope for her to reach level 99."
"So Elder Mu and I both think that she can be trained as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion. Today, we will nominate her to be a reserve member of the Sea God Pavilion. When she becomes a Titled Douluo, she will officially enter the Sea God Pavilion. Everyone, please raise your hands to express your opinions."
All ten people raised their hands and passed it unanimously.
"Very good, let's move on to the next topic." Mr. Song nodded, glanced at Mu En on the recliner with a smile, and continued:
"The second topic is about the appointment of two members of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils.
Everyone may know that last year, two talented little geniuses emerged from the Shrek Outer Court. One is Bei Bei, who is well-known to everyone, and the other is Xu Sanshi, a direct disciple from the hidden sect Xuanming Sect..."
Here it comes!
It's Xu Sanshi! Yan Shaozhe frowned, clenched his knuckles, and a gloomy haze enveloped his heart.
If it weren't for the previous incident, he would be happy to see two of the Seven Monsters emerge from the core disciples of his Wuhun Department, but now, he had to step in to stop it.
"These two little geniuses not only have good cultivation talents and strong martial spirits, but also have some special abilities. That is, their martial spirits have the possibility of temporary evolution, and it is not impossible for them to fight across one level. So Elder Mu and I both think..."
"Mr. Song, and Teacher, should we reconsider this matter?"
Yan Shaozhe raised his hand and stood up, bowed to the six elders including Mr. Song and Xuan Zi, and interrupted Mr. Song's words.
"Um???"
The six elders, including Xuan Zi, cast doubtful glances at him. The three deans, including Yan Shaozhe's wife Cai Mei'er, all began to doubt at this moment: Is Yan Shaozhe's brain full of water?
"Old Yan, have you taken the wrong medicine these days? What nonsense are you talking about? Beibei is a legitimate member of the academy, why don't you apologize to Elder Mu and Elder Song?"
Qian Duoduo winked at Yan Shaozhe and was the first to scold him.
Everyone knows who intended for Beibei to be one of the Seven Monsters. Even if you are Old Mu's direct disciple, can you still stop Old Mu from training his great-great-grandson? Isn't this courting death?
Yan Shaozhe shook his head and continued to speak despite the pressure from his old colleagues:
"Of course I'm not against Beibei. We've all watched Beibei grow up. I absolutely support him becoming one of the Seven Monsters."
"What I am against is Xu Sanshi. Although he is talented, he comes from the Xuanming Sect. I think it is inappropriate to hastily give him a position in the Seven Monsters and invest a lot of precious resources in him. There is no guarantee that our investment will be rewarded."
"After all… even the geniuses of Xiaotao and Yueheng's generation were not selected as the Seven Devils. In terms of origin and loyalty to Shrek, Xiaotao and Yueheng are much safer than Xu Sanshi."
As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, most of the doubts in everyone's eyes disappeared. That was right. Shaozhe, who had always been smart, would not make such a low-level mistake.
Xuanzi coughed twice and was the first to speak in support, "I think Shaozhe is speaking from an experienced person. Xu Sanshi is talented, but he is not as knowledgeable as Beibei. Even if we want to give him a position in the Seven Devils, we can still observe him for a few more years."
"After all, this is a matter of great importance. It not only symbolizes honor, but also means a higher level of resource training than that of core disciples, as well as the academy's trust and expectations for them."
"Even the two descendants of the original Seven Devils didn't get it, but Xu Sanshi, a kid who had just entered Shrek for a year, got it. It's really not appropriate."
Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up. Master Xuan was always Master Xuan. He was never confused about important matters. This way, he gave everyone a way out.
Sure enough, after Xuan Zi finished speaking, more than half of the elders present showed approval in their eyes. Even Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo thought about it and felt that it was feasible. The Shrek Seven Devils symbolize the highest honor of the academy. I don't know how many geniuses have broken their heads for a place, so internal appointments must be made with great caution.
At this time, Lin Huiqun, who was sitting opposite Xuan Lao, spoke up and expressed his different opinion:
"Everyone, the selection of the Seven Monsters is based on talent. Xu Sanshi has enough talent, so why not give him this qualification? Is there anyone in his generation who can squeeze him out of the Seven Monsters? It doesn't matter whether it's given to him earlier or later."
This again caused the approval and sway of several veterans.
Yan Shaozhe frowned and whispered, "But Elder Lin, I don't think the Xuanming Sect necessarily respects our academy that much, and they don't have the same close relationship as the Blue Lightning Family and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. It is very likely that Xu Sanshi will return to the sect after he finishes his studies."
"Doesn't this prove that we need to train this child well to repair our relationship? We are indeed sorry for what happened to Yue'er." Old Song retorted, shaking his head.
Xuan Zi's expression darkened. Yan Shaozhe was about to speak, but was interrupted by Elder Lin with a smile: "Shaozhe, I know you have suffered some grievances in Xuanming Sect, but it will be difficult to end this matter if it gets out of hand. We at Shrek still have to do business with Xuanming Sect."
Mr. Lin's voice was kind and his words were shocking, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Old Lin smiled kindly at everyone. She was in charge of Shrek City's Treasure Pavilion and also controlled Shrek City's external economic affairs. She was very familiar with the Xuanming Sect, a major company in the medicine business.
Shrek City is autonomous and has the right to collect taxes independently. The Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce of the Xuanming Sect is a major taxpayer.
"Don't think that I, Lin Huiqun, am speaking to outsiders. It's just that over the years, I have had some dealings with the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Xuanming Sect, and I know them better."
"As far as I know, the Xuanming Sect has more than just Xu Xiaoyun, an old monster. There are about three Super Douluo and more than ten Titled Douluo. Their strength is second to none among all the hidden sects, no less than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
The Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul inherited by their sect is the ultimate existence among defensive Martial Souls. None of us present here dare to say that our Martial Souls can be stronger than theirs. With such strength, we have no choice but to be cautious. "
As she spoke, she glanced at Mr. Song beside her, and said in a much more serious tone:
"I have seen another old fellow from Xuanming Sect. His cultivation is not inferior to mine, and may be close to that of Elder Song. Therefore, Xuanming Sect should not be underestimated."
It is possible to get close to Elder Song! This sentence spread around the Seagod Pavilion, and the eyes of the elders over a hundred years old suddenly became clear and bright, as if they had suddenly become several years younger.
Old Song is the third strongest Shrek warrior in the Sea God Pavilion, second only to Mu En and Xuan Zi. His cultivation is as high as level 97, and he possesses the Green Shadow Divine Eagle martial spirit, making him the world's number one agile attack warrior.
Being able to get close to Old Song meant that he was at least a powerful warrior at the peak of level 96, and he was also an old turtle with thick skin and flesh.
Xu Xiaoyun at level ninety-eight, several Super Douluo and more than ten Titled Douluo, leaving aside Elder Mu, this strength is enough to make the Sea God Pavilion feel like facing a formidable enemy.
But how could Mr. Mu move easily in his current condition?
Mu En lay motionless on the golden tree chair, his eyelids half open, and he did not express any opinions from beginning to end, as if he was completely uninterested.
Elder Lin looked at Mu En with respect and continued:
"In addition, the Xuanming Sect is good at refining pills. You should all know the names of the most famous Xuanshui Pill and Xuanwu Divine Pill."
"Although they are secluded, they have made many connections in the Tianhun Empire through these means. Douling and Xingluo also have traces of the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce. The power lurking underwater should not be underestimated. "
"If we get into a fight with them over some minor conflicts... Excuse me, that's probably not appropriate. After all, we are not in the right in this matter. Cultivating Xu Sanshi is an opportunity to improve our relationship."
"As for Shaozhe's matter, we can take our time."
At this point, the choice of many elders has become very clear. Shrek is the spiritual leader of all soul masters in the world, and this fundamentally depends on his relationship with the great nobles and major sects.
Since ancient times, they have always been on good terms with the sects and nobles. When has it ever been reasonable for them to take the initiative to break up with the great nobles and the great sects? Not to mention that the incident with Master Xuan would be a huge scandal if it were made public.
"Haha, you have all said almost the same thing, so I will add something as well."
At this moment, Mu En, who was as steady as a rock, finally spoke slowly, and everyone held their breath and watched.
"As far as I know, Xu Sanshi's mother, the wife of the Xuanming Sect's leader, is the eldest princess of the Douling Empire and the aunt of the new Douling Emperor. Well, that's it."
Mu En made the final decision, and everyone had no doubts, and all ten votes passed.
Even though the Douling Empire is the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, it is still a country after all.
As for Shaozhe's matter... they can't beat Old Monster Xu anyway, and Old Xuan is not in a position to take action, so they should wait for Shaozhe to grow up and get it back himself.
When the meeting was over, Mu En called out to Yan Shaozhe, who looked unhappy, and said, "Shaozhe, stay. I have something to tell you."
"Yes~Teacher."
Yan Shaozhe, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, looked like a good boy listening attentively, and walked towards Mu En with his head down and obediently.
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo turned around and smiled, with a hint of gloating.
"You are so good, Yan Shaozhe. You even dared to go against Elder Mu's wishes. Now you are in trouble. Oh my, the weather is so nice today..."
