Joining the Shrek Supervision Group? My ass!
On the other side...
Xuan Zi naturally had no idea that Huo Yuhao had already discerned his true thoughts from some of his words.
At this moment, he began his next performance.
"It cannot be denied that from the moment you became members of the Shrek Academy's reserve team, you had already stepped one foot into the Inner Court."
"But that's precisely why I must confirm with you before I actually take you away from the academy whether you are willing to shoulder this responsibility that belongs to the Inner Court?"
"If you don't want to, no one will blame you."
"But I want to tell you that if you refuse, you will miss a huge opportunity."
"Compared to the Outer Court, the Inner Court academy offers a better and more diverse learning environment, both in terms of its student status and the opportunities available for learning."
"If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"But as I said before, the academy will not force you to do anything. However, if you choose to refuse, you will need to keep it a secret, just like those students who choose to leave after graduation. Can you do that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone unanimously agreed.
Huo Yuhao's eyes revealed a hint of disdain and mockery.
That old bastard Xuan Zi really wants to have his cake and eat it too.
He was using all sorts of threats and inducements to trick them into the Shrek Academy's Inner Court and supervisory team.
But afterwards, they always have to add a sentence at the end, "The academy will not force you to do anything."
If that's really the case, you don't need to keep using threats and inducements.
This really made Huo Yuhao feel extremely hypocritical.
However, Xuan Zi on the other side started chattering away again.
He continued:
"The Douluo Continent was originally very vast, and after colliding with the Sun Moon Continent, it became even wider. Among all four great empires, the Sun Moon Empire is the largest in size and rich in various mineral resources."
"But they are outsiders after all. Even though thousands of years have passed, they still seem somewhat out of place among the original three great empires of the Douluo Continent, and their existence cannot be truly accepted."
"Although there is no large-scale war on the Douluo Continent at present, conflicts are always present."
"If it's just a conflict between ordinary people, even if something happens, it won't cause too much damage. But it's a different story if it's a conflict between Soul Master."
Xuan Zi rambled on and on, almost making Huo Yuhao was standing to the side, sleepy.
Finally, he got to the point:
"Not all Soul Master are Goddess of Kindness."
"Many people become arrogant because of their own strength, and they develop the arrogance of thinking they are the best in the world, and even have evil thoughts."
"These people will cause great harm to ordinary people. It is not uncommon for Soul Master to commit evil deeds. Moreover, the stronger the talent and the higher the cultivation level of Soul Master, the greater the destructive power after going astray."
"There was once a tragedy where a Soul Emperor slaughtered an entire village simply because the food didn't suit his taste. Why? Because Soul Master ' abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and they lacked supervision and discipline."
At this point, Xuan Zi's tone became more assertive, his expression filled with intense pride. He continued:
"We at the Shrek Academy never claim to be righteous, but we absolutely do not want to see tragedies happen. Therefore, about six thousand years ago, the academy began to be divided into the inner and outer academies."
"To outsiders, the division between inner and outer academies is simply a matter of strength, and even unfair to the disciples of the Outer Court. Many people think that the best teachers are all in the Inner Court."
"In fact, that's not the case. The pressure and responsibility that the Inner Court has to bear is something that the Outer Court cannot understand. And this responsibility is called supervision."
"You must be wondering, oversight? Oversee what? What we want to oversee is not all the injustices on the mainland, in fact, that's impossible."
"The Douluo Continent is too vast. The combined population of the four great empires is countless. Our Shrek City alone has a permanent and transient population of over five million. And our Inner Court Disciple simply cannot manage them all."
Xuan Zi said with a proud look:
"Therefore, we only target individuals, and even some special officials, but absolutely not the country."
"We have our own intelligence sources. Once a serious incident occurs on the Douluo Continent that the country cannot govern or supervise, we will send our Inner Court Disciple to resolve it."
"At this time, our Inner Court students are called inspectors, Shrek Supervisor. Our Inner Court also has another name, the Shrek Supervision Group. Currently, I am the leader of this team."
Xiao Xiao asked with some doubt, "But since our Inner Court only has less than a hundred people, and the continent is so vast, there must be many serious incidents. How do we supervise them?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi smiled smugly and said, "That's a good question."
"I can tell you that no matter which country it is, even the most powerful Sun Moon Empire, they would not dare to underestimate our Shrek Supervision Group in the slightest."
"Currently, there are fewer than a hundred disciples in the academy. However, according to records, more than 20,000 students have graduated from the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy, and more than 1,000 students have graduated from the Inner Court."
"Inner Court students often suffer injuries and deaths, but I dare say that everyone who leaves Shrek Academy is an elite of all mankind. Moreover, our Shrek Academy has the most outstanding teaching team in the entire continent, and every teacher who stays at the school is also a member of the Watchdog."
At this point, Xuan Zi felt he had said almost everything he needed to say.
Seeing the group of Outer Court students whose eyes were filled with enthusiasm because of his boasting, he felt very proud.
He didn't continue, but instead casually added some details, saying:
"Every Inner Court Disciple is an inspector, and they need to complete thirty inspection tasks before they are allowed to graduate; otherwise, they will have to stay in the Shrek Academy's Inner Court indefinitely."
"Of course, the reason why so many tasks are set for the Inner Court students is mainly because this is the academy's assessment of them."
"This not only helps them improve their strength, but also helps them strengthen their willpower."
"Our Shrek Academy does not aim to cultivate mere strong individuals, but rather to cultivate talents who can maintain peace and stability across the entire continent."
"Another point is that the Supervision Group is unpaid. We are both inspectors and enforcers. Every matter that our Shrek Academy Supervision Group handles is invariably difficult and extremely dangerous."
"I have even faced Titled Douluo, and my Goddess of Life could be in danger at any time."
"Therefore, you must carefully consider whether you want to become a member of the Inner Court."
When Xuan Zi finished speaking, he deliberately sped up his speech.
He didn't really want to say these things, but he had to, so that Huo Yuhao and the others wouldn't bring up old grievances later.
But now, if he speaks faster, the crowd might not be able to hear him clearly.
Moreover, he had already laid the groundwork for a long time, getting the members of the Outer Court very excited, so he was very confident that he could get them to join.
Everyone started thinking about it without prior arrangement.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao on the other side had already reached a conclusion.
Although he already knew that the Shrek Supervision Group was a huge trap.
To be honest, after hearing Xuan Zi say it again today, he still couldn't hold back.
Because this Shrek Academy inspection team is truly extraordinary!
He's not as easily fooled as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er in the original story.
Xuan Zi just spouted so much nonsense.
But he didn't even understand the most basic thing.
Where exactly does Shrek Academy get its supervisory power?
Shrek Academy, in the end, is just a mere academy.
If his oversight focuses solely on the students' behavior within the academy during the course of instruction.
Huo Yuhao believed that there was no problem with that.
Shrek Academy does indeed have that authority.
But now Xuan Zi actually says he wants to oversee the entire Douluo Continent.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao really felt a bit tense.
no
Who gave you this right?
Do you think you're the rulers of the entire Douluo Continent?
Or are they kings of various empires?
This is completely unreasonable!
Therefore, Huo Yuhao believes...
The Shrek Academy Supervision Group's actions resembled a form of violent law enforcement.
Using their overwhelming power, they donned the cloak of justice and forcibly interfered in the domestic affairs of other countries.
This is not actually a righteous act.
It's just that other empires couldn't do anything about them.
Deep down, they probably harbor a lot of resentment about this kind of thing!
And the most outrageous thing is
Xuan Zi actually said that the inspection team received no compensation.
This is the most difficult part to maintain.
They tricked a bunch of the Shrek Academy students into joining the Inner Court. Once they joined, they had to complete thirty inspection missions to graduate. If they didn't join, they would stay in the Inner Court and rot for life!
Moreover, each task is extremely difficult, and students could die tragically at any time.
But after working so hard for so long, there was no reward at all?
This is truly ridiculous.
Huo Yuhao felt that even if he saved a little dog on the roadside, the dog would bark at him gratefully.
But all these Inner Court students have worked so hard for so long and haven't received any reward?
Huo Yuhao felt that this was truly defying the heavens.
Moreover, he also believes
The fact that trainees do not receive any compensation does not mean that trainees do not receive any compensation at all.
Please forgive Huo Yuhao for his fondness for conspiracy theories.
Because he never believed that there were any true saints in the world.
If Shrek Academy didn't want anything in return and just kept doing things for other countries, Huo Yuhao would only call them a bunch of idiots.
The people at the Shrek Academy are clearly not a bunch of idiots.
Other forces are also bound to be ignorant of human relationships and social customs.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao believed that Shrek Academy would definitely receive a reward after completing these Supervision Group tasks!
Otherwise, why would they only care about those officials?
Because the officials can afford the price!
Moreover, each successful completion of the Supervision Group's mission is also a way to promote Shrek Academy's reputation.
The more missions the Supervision Group completes, the more famous Shrek becomes. Isn't that a different kind of reward?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully.
The Shrek Academy Supervision Team just treated these students like leeks!
They took advantage of the students' youth and ignorance, and their youthful enthusiasm, and tricked them into taking positions in the Shrek Supervision Group, so that they could get something for nothing!
They were only allowed to leave after they completed thirty tasks.
Even if someone dies during this period, it has nothing to do with them.
Anyway, it was already agreed upon beforehand! And sacrificing oneself for an ideal is extremely exciting.
Huo Yuhao easily saw through the Shrek Academy's tactics.
He had seen this kind of routine far too many times during his time travels.
I just didn't expect Shrek Academy to pull this stunt, and to do it so well.
This made him feel extremely nauseous.
On the other side...
I don't know if Dai Yueheng is really stupid or just pretending.
After hearing Xuan Zi's words, he even took a step forward, his face full of pride, and said:
"I am honored to have completed the missions of twenty-eight Supervision Group so far, and I am not far from the thirtieth. In the process, I have killed bandits who raped and plundered, killed corrupt officials who disregarded human life, and saved enslaved children."
"The motto of the Inner Court is: Strength and responsibility are equal, and the heart and Goddess of Kindness go hand in hand. I would like to share this motto with you."
Dai Yueheng stepped forward and said a few words at the opportune moment.
This brought the emotions of the audience to a fever pitch.
Huo Yuhao was absolutely certain that Dai Yueheng was faking his stupidity.
This kid's heart is definitely black if you cut it open; he can't possibly be fooled by the Shrek Academy.
But why would he say and do that?
It can only be that they want to curry favor with the Shrek Academy!
Huo Yuhao immediately saw through his little scheme.
So Huo Yuhao took it as Dai Yueheng nonsense.
Dai Yueheng's words had no effect on Huo Yuhao, but were highly effective on the others.
Everyone who heard Dai Yueheng's words was deeply moved and became extremely excited.
Seeing this, Xuan Zi was secretly pleased and immediately asked, "Alright, now you need to give me an answer. Join or leave?"
Bei Bei immediately shouted out that he wanted to join; it was a done deal. "I want to join."
However, when the others tried to join, Huo Yuhao stopped them with one hand.
Especially Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.
The two girls had also been misled and were filled with righteous indignation.
Huo Yuhao squeezed their hands tightly before walking over.
He replied to Xuan Zi, "I will not join."
That sound extinguished Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's enthusiasm like cold water.
They didn't know why Huo Yuhao didn't join.
But what they knew was that Huo Yuhao was right. And they were willing to believe Huo Yuhao.
So the two of them followed up on Huo Yuhao's answer, saying, "Then I won't join either."
"Me too, I'm not joining either."
Jiang Nannan gave Huo Yuhao a deep look before replying, "I won't join either."
Xu Sanshi also shook his head. "I won't join either."
He Caitou replied, "I'll join!"
Upon hearing everyone's answers, Xuan Zi's face turned ashen.
Huo Yuhao and the others should have agreed after he had laid the groundwork for so long and with Dai Yueheng's support.
But who could have imagined that this would be the final outcome?
"Why? Give me a reason?"
Xuan Zi, his face ashen, asked Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao shrugged as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Xuan Zi, didn't you just say that the academy wouldn't interfere with our choices?"
"If you're not going to interfere, why ask so many questions?"
"They just don't want to join, that's all."
He spoke calmly, but his words made Xuan Zi's expression even more unpleasant.
