Shrek Academy was silent.

"Control the power of the undead!"

The people of Shrek looked at each other. An elder blurted out, "Isn't this an Evil Soul Master?"

As the continent's number one academy, Shrek Academy had a very firm attitude and resolute actions when facing Evil Soul Masters.

The Shrek Supervisory Team, a core institution affiliated with Shrek Academy.

It was said to supervise and handle heinous incidents that countries on the continent could not or were unwilling to regulate, but in reality, it was specifically established to target Evil Soul Masters.

Every Sea God Pavilion Master was the head of the Shrek Supervisory Team, which showed how much importance Shrek Academy placed on the Shrek Supervisory Team.

Moreover, they generally held prejudices against soul masters with Special Martial Souls, believing they possessed a potential threat.

Even Mu En could not escape the influence of this notion.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo, one of the Twelve Worships of the Holy Spirit Cult, was the best example.

He had been captured by Mu En before, but because his Martial Soul's evil aura was not strong at the time, and he had never harmed anyone, Mu En eventually let him go.

This led to the other party joining the Holy Spirit Cult and becoming a major hidden danger for Shrek Academy.

And this was one of the few foolish things Mu En had done.

Either finish the job completely and directly kill Scorpion Tiger Douluo, or don't provoke him.

Such matters were common within the Shrek Supervisory Team.

Mu En was relatively restrained among them; at the very least, he had never wantonly killed innocent people.

Others could not be guaranteed, especially Xuan Zi, that ultimate pitfall.

Even with Mu En's explicit prohibition, it was still the case.

In fact, they couldn't be entirely blamed.

Most members of the Shrek Supervisory Team were from the inner court, and they needed to complete at least 30 supervisory missions to graduate.

Evil Soul Masters were each formidable in combat and possessed incredibly bizarre abilities.

As mere students, if they made one mistake, their lives would be in danger. Where would they have the time to investigate whether the Evil Soul Master was wrongly accused or if there were hidden circumstances!

Basically, once a mission was received, the supervisory members would not consider so much.

Ultimately, the Shrek Supervisory Team mechanism and internal supervision had significant problems.

Mu En was naturally well aware of this.

But Mu En, with little time left, was powerless to implement reforms.

Or rather, even if Mu En were at his peak, reforms would be difficult.

Not to mention abolishing the Shrek Supervisory Team.

The Shrek Supervisory Team was initially founded with the purpose of "eliminating Evil Soul Masters and protecting public safety."

However, the essence of the Shrek Supervisory Team gradually changed. Although they still cracked down on Evil Soul Masters, their purpose was no longer solely to protect public safety.

Through the elimination of Evil Soul Masters, the Supervisory Team maintained Shrek Academy's positive image on the continent, established Shrek Academy's transcendent status independent of the Three Great Empires, and even interfered to some extent in the internal affairs of other countries.

However, with the changing landscape of the continent, the Shrek Supervisory Team was eventually disbanded by Shrek Academy on the grounds that "it is just an academy and cannot interfere in continental affairs."

Of course, this is the development in the original work, and it will only evolve more quickly now.

Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, no unified power will allow an unofficial organization like the Supervisory Team to exist.

"Power is neither good nor evil; it depends on the user."

Mu En scanned the people around him and said in a deep voice, "I think that child said it very well."

"Elder Mu, but... Evil Martial Souls are ultimately an unstable factor!"

Xian Lin'er hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You still think that way?"

When Mu En asked, although the others remained silent, their expressions clearly indicated their stance.

It could be said without exaggeration that not a single person stood with Mu En.

Mu En was not surprised by this.

"They are actually a group of pitiable people; no one is born evil."

Finally, he sighed, "As long as they are cultivated correctly, even with an Evil Martial Soul, they can still be normal people."

"Teacher, forgive my bluntness, but the cost of doing so is too great and disproportionate to the gains."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe objected without hesitation, "Moreover, if the world knows that Shrek Academy is cultivating Evil Soul Masters, our ten thousand years of reputation will be ruined."

Shrek Academy's resources were limited each year, and the Martial Soul Department and Soul Tool Department couldn't even get enough. How could they allow Evil Soul Masters to get involved?

Of course, this was only a secondary reason. The main reason was that Shrek's ten-thousand-year reputation could collapse because of this.

This was also why none of the members of the Sea God Pavilion supported Mu En's idea.

The scene in the Sky Curtain shifted.

The setting sun dyed the sky a blood-like dark red. Viscous puddles of blood and scorched earth stretched out, reflecting broken spears and battle flags stuck in piles of corpses.

A well-figured young girl stood in this place.

It was Huo Yutong.

Behind her, twelve black gates had appeared.

When Huo Yutong opened that black rift, the entire battlefield was instantly enveloped in deathly energy, as if even the air had frozen.

The once vibrant land rapidly became desolate, with flowers, grass, and trees withering and falling in an instant.

The twelve black gates slowly opened, and various Undead Creatures continuously emerged.

These Undead Creatures included not only low to mid-tier undead like skeletons, ghouls, and Headless Horror Knights, but also powerful undead such as Skeleton Kings, Abomination Kings, Zombie Kings, Shadow Kings, and Bone Dragon Kings.

In addition, the most eye-catching Undead Creatures were those few Deities who had already transformed into undead.

And facing them were Deities with terrifying auras.

Huo Yutong waved her hand, and the undead army charged forward without fear.

Facing numerous Deities, even these undead creatures, despite special enhancements, were no match for them.

Low to mid-tier Undead Creatures could only use their lives to hold the opponents back.

The true main force of output still lay with those high-tier and top-tier undead creatures.

But even so, it often took thousands, or even tens of thousands, of high-tier undead creatures to take down one Deity.

Only top-tier undead creatures possessed the strength to contend with these Deities.

But what of it?

The truly terrifying aspect of the Wrath of the Undead was its inexhaustible troop strength, knowing neither fear nor pain.

And its ability to convert fallen powerhouses into its own fighting force.

Even taking measures to destroy corpses could not completely prevent this from happening.

This characteristic allowed the undead army to grow like a snowball, its scale and strength increasing with each battle.

Not to mention, Huo Yutong also had an Undead Demiplane, gifted by her teacher, as a backup.
