Mu En: Dai Huabin's Expulsion Is Final! No One Can Keep Him, I Said So!

No matter how much Xuan Zi had pondered beforehand, he would never have imagined that Dai Huabin was the one who orchestrated the assassination attempt on Huo Yuhao.

After all, when the incident first happened, he even took the initiative to go to Dai Huabin's door to warn him to be careful!

Therefore, after hearing what Xian Lin'er said...

Xuan Zi's first thought was disbelief.

Yes!

How could such a thing be possible?

As his own disciple.

Xuan Zi believed that he knew Dai Huabin quite well!

Although Dai Huabin is not good with words.

But Xuan Zi has always felt that Dai Huabin is a good kid!

He is kind and polite, and never feels arrogant!

How could such a thing be done by his good apprentice Dai Huabin?

There must be some misunderstanding here!

And most importantly

Dai Huabin is so outstanding!

Although, before this, when he first accepted Dai Huabin as his disciple, he only intended to use him to put Huo Yuhao in a bad light.

But after giving him some guidance, he discovered that Dai Huabin was also very outstanding!

Even in terms of talent in cultivation, Xuan Zi felt that Dai Huabin was far superior to Huo Yuhao.

The reason why Huo Yuhao is said to be exceptionally talented is mainly because his Martial Soul is powerful!

The Ultimate Ice, the Ultimate Water, the Ultimate Fire

With three Ultimate Power combined in one person, he can truly be described as unprecedented and unparalleled.

Is Dai Huabin really weaker than him?

That's not necessarily true.

Xuan Zi believed that, in the end, the most important thing for Soul Master is the level and strength of their Soul Power.

It's true that Dai Huabin's Martial Soul isn't as heaven-defying as Huo Yuhao's.

But it can still be considered an excellent Martial Soul.

Under these circumstances, his cultivation speed far surpassed Huo Yuhao's, and he became a Four-Ring Expert at a young age.

His cultivation speed is even faster than Ma Xiaotao's!

Therefore, his future is also guaranteed to be at least Titled Douluo!

In contrast, Huo Yuhao, despite possessing three Ultimate Martial Soul, actually did not cultivate very quickly.

Furthermore, there is another problem with Ultimate Martial Soul.

That is, after level 30 or 40, Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed will slow down further due to the influence of the Ultimate Martial Soul!

Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed was already very slow.

When that happens, it will be even slower due to these factors!

Therefore, the further along the journey goes, the further away Huo Yuhao's level might fall compared to Dai Huabin's.

Therefore, Xuan Zi had considered this beforehand.

It is highly likely that in the future, Dai Huabin will have already been promoted to Titled Douluo, while Huo Yuhao will only have Six Rings or seven rings.

So when that time comes, who will be stronger and who will be weaker?

So, to be honest...

Xuan Zi truly thinks highly of Dai Huabin.

No matter which perspective you take.

He didn't want Dai Huabin to do such a thing.

Therefore, he was extremely stressed at that moment.

But Xian Lin'er wasn't happy about it either!

His beloved apprentice was assassinated

She definitely wants to get justice for Huo Yuhao!

Even if this person is Xuan Zi's disciple, she will definitely not give an inch.

Therefore, she raised her voice and said to Xuan Zi:

"Xuan Zi, we already have enough evidence for this matter."

"Thanks to the joint efforts of myself, Vice Dean Qian Duoduo, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong'er."

"We have successfully obtained evidence of Dai Huabin's crimes! These things were said by those assassins themselves!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi's heart sank, but he quickly retorted:

"How can we trust the enemy so easily?"

"They failed in their assassination attempt on Huo Yuhao and are already furious. They might be trying to use this opportunity to cripple another genius from the Shrek Academy!"

"Dai Huabin's talent is in no way inferior to Huo Yuhao's. He's already at the fourth ring level at such a young age!"

"If he continues to grow, he will surely become the youngest Titled Douluo in the Shrek Academy and even in the entire Douluo Continent!"

"Therefore, I hope that all of you elders will be cautious in handling such a brilliant case! Do not make the wrong choice because you have been instigated by treacherous people. It will be too late to regret it then!"

Xuan Zi then shared his thoughts again.

It seems he's determined to protect Dai Huabin.

This made Xian Lin'er's expression grow increasingly unpleasant.

"Xuan Zi, isn't it inappropriate to make such a personal attack?"

Are you indirectly insulting me?

"Besides, if we can't even trust witnesses..."

"Then who should we trust?"

Xuan Zi merely snorted coldly:

"I didn't say that, you're just projecting your own feelings onto me!"

"Besides, the people who reviewed this case also had problems."

"Although the victim is Huo Yuhao, it shouldn't be his place to investigate, right?"

"If I remember correctly, there has always been a conflict between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin."

"Maybe he's holding a grudge against Dai Huabin because of a previous conflict? We should also consider that factor."

Hearing this, Xian Lin'er was almost driven mad with anger by Xuan Zi.

Because she discovered that Xuan Zi was completely incapable of being fair and impartial!

The facts are already laid bare before us.

But he insists on distorting the truth!

He would stop at nothing to protect Dai Huabin!

So now Xian Lin'er's temper is about to flare up!

She was planning to continue arguing with Xuan Zi.

But at this point, all the elders in the audience could no longer bear to listen, and even Mu En spoke up sternly.

"Alright, Lin'er, Xuan Zi, you two, calm down!"

"I have already reached a conclusion regarding this matter!"

"Xuan Zi, although I can understand your eagerness to protect your disciple, now that the evidence is conclusive, you should stop trying to defend Dai Huabin!"

"Furthermore, don't forget where we are! This is Shrek Academy, not the stronghold of Evil Spirit Master!"

"If we only value talent and turn a blind eye to students' bad habits because of their talent, then we might as well recruit all those Evil Spirit Master!"

"Aren't their talents even better?"

"Go back and reflect on what happened this time!"

Mu En sternly rebuked Xuan Zi!

As for Xuan Zi, his heart sank after hearing Mu En's rebuke.

He roughly guessed Mu En's intention, so he quickly prepared to speak again.

But based on his understanding of him, Mu En knew exactly what he was going to say without even thinking.

He simply waved his hand and said:

"Xuan Zi, you shouldn't get involved in this matter!"

"Go back and rest for a while!"

"As for Dai Huabin's matter, we'll discuss it ourselves!"

Xuan Zi wanted to say more.

But this time, Mu En's tone carried a hint of anger. "Even my words don't work anymore?"

Xuan Zi had no choice but to obediently agree.

He left the spot looking dejected. Although he was still dissatisfied, he didn't dare to disobey Mu En since Mu En had already said so much.

As for Mu En, he spoke after Xuan Zi left:

"Everyone, Xuan Zi was wrong in this matter, as everyone has witnessed."

"But there was a reason for it. After all, Dai Huabin is his prized disciple, so he had a momentary lapse of judgment and became confused. I hope everyone will not hold a grudge about this! We are all doing this for the good of the Shrek Academy, and there will be many areas where we need to cooperate in the future."

At this Mu En changed the subject:

"Next, we should have a proper discussion about how to handle Dai Huabin's matter."

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, it can be confirmed that Dai Huabin was responsible for this."

"Therefore, we should naturally impose corresponding penalties on Dai Huabin."

"But how should we punish them? This matter needs to be discussed carefully."

"After all, Dai Huabin is the son of the White Tiger Duke. And the White Tiger Duke is a general of the Star Luo Empire, second only to the emperor."

"If this matter is not handled properly, it may create a rift between the Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire!"

"Although Shrek Academy is not afraid of any country, this matter is of great importance and must be handled properly."

Mu En spoke to the group of elders with a serious expression.

He stopped there and didn't continue.

Because he wanted to hear the opinions of the elders on this matter.

The senior scholars also shared their opinions upon hearing this.

The first one to step forward was naturally Xian Lin'er.

She was naturally going to great lengths to support Huo Yuhao.

Her attitude was clear: she was determined to secure the greatest possible benefit for Huo Yuhao!

She didn't want to care about anything else.

Therefore, Xian Lin'er quickly spoke up, "Teacher, I think what Dai Huabin did is absolutely unforgivable, because it not only damaged the reputation of our Shrek Academy, but also chilled the hearts of our outstanding students."

"If this matter is not dealt with seriously, which student will dare to study at the Shrek Academy with peace of mind in the future?"

"Therefore, I suggest that Dai Huabin be dismissed immediately, and at the same time, that Dai Huabin apologize to Huo Yuhao and provide Huo Yuhao with compensation for emotional distress!"

Xian Lin'er's suggestion was approved by many elders, and many elders immediately raised their hands in agreement.

But some people disagree.

For example, Yan Shaozhe.

Firstly, because Dai Huabin was Xuan Zi's disciple, and secondly, because Dai Huabin was a student in the Martial Soul Department.

So he actually had his own selfish motives in this matter.

Therefore, although Yan Shaozhe was not as blatant in his words as Xuan Zi, he was actually speaking up for Dai Huabin.

He began:

"I don't agree with Lin'er's opinion."

"No one is perfect! Dai Huabin is still young! It's understandable that he made a mistake. And most importantly, this time it didn't actually cause a major disaster!"

"Therefore, I believe we must seriously educate Dai Huabin regarding his case."

"But surely it shouldn't come to the point of expulsion? We can punish him severely! And give Huo Yuhao appropriate compensation, and then guide Dai Huabin onto the right path!"

"But I feel like this is about right!"

"After all, this child has quite a bit of talent! He has a bright future ahead of him!"

"And I feel that the example the teacher just gave was a bit extreme."

"If Dai Huabin were Evil Spirit Master, we certainly couldn't accept it, but the problem is that he isn't, and he can be guided back to the right path."

"If he can get back on the right track and grow up in the future, he could very well take the baton from us old guys and become the next generation's face of the Shrek Academy!"

Yan Shaozhe quickly shared his thoughts.

He protected Dai Huabin both openly and secretly.

From his perspective, it's worth doing.

His opinion was also endorsed by some of the senior scholars.

After all, Xuan Zi had been in the Shrek Academy for so many years, and he also had a very good relationship with some of the senior members.

Moreover, Yan Shaozhe made a correct point earlier!

Nothing bad has happened yet!

Although the matter sounds quite serious

But since nothing serious happened, it's a minor issue!

Shrek Academy's moral standards have always been very flexible!

Otherwise, if it really is that strict.

In the original story, Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, who were forced to become Evil Spirit Master, were both executed after returning to the Shrek Academy!

Because if we use that inflexible standard, it doesn't matter whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally.

Anyone who commits a crime must pay the price for their actions.

But this is the Douluo Continent, and for most people, they obviously judge others based on their abilities.

As a result, the elders were split into two groups again, and they started arguing quite fiercely.

Mu En listened to the elders arguing, he sincerely felt that the position of the Seagod Pavilion Master was not easy to hold.

They're really hard to manage!

But there was nothing he could do; after all, that's what he was supposed to be doing in that position.

Therefore, after listening to both sides' ideas and realizing that they could no longer come up with a mutually acceptable solution through negotiation, he...

He decided to make the decision himself.

He spoke again, his gentle tone carrying a strong Soul Power.

This immediately calmed the mood of the assembled elders.

"Alright, that's enough."

"Leave this matter to me to decide."

Mu En said calmly to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward Mu En, and no one dared to disagree.

They began to await Mu En's final reply.

And Mu En did not delay at all.

He spoke directly:

"The handling of Dai Huabin must be taken very seriously!"

"This isn't a question of whether or not we can be tolerant; it represents the attitude of our entire Shrek Academy towards those who cheat, deceive, and have wicked Soul Master!"

"Yan Shaozhe, let me teach you something else."

"The Evil Spirit Master ' does not simply refer to Soul Master with God of Evil Martial Soul in the traditional sense."

"In fact, people like Dai Huabin, who have wicked intentions, can also be called Evil Spirit Master."

"It's just that it's not appropriate for us to directly judge this kind of person."

"But as Shrek Academy, we must be fair and just, at least when it comes to our students!"

"Dai Huabin was absolutely wrong this time, and so wrong that it was beyond redemption! So it's impossible to give him special treatment just because of his exceptional talent."

"I'll ask you one question: if the person who did this wasn't Dai Huabin, but some other student with average talent, would you still stand by your previous statement?"

"If you can't, then there's something wrong with your previous statements! Because you can't be fair and impartial."

"I share the same thought as the other elders who agreed with Yan Shaozhe's previous remarks."

"Therefore, my conclusion on this matter is: Dai Huabin is dismissed! At the same time, we notify White Tiger Duke and tell him to come and take the man back himself!"

"As for how White Tiger Duke will express his stance after arriving at the Shrek Academy, we'll see when the time comes!"

"But Dai Huabin is definitely going to be fired! No one can keep him, I'm telling you!"
