Meeting Convened

"Everyone, stop!"

A vast surge of Soul Power erupted, gently knocking over the group of students surrounding Zhou Yi.

"What are you doing?"

A middle-aged man, adorned with two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings, descended from the sky.

"Teacher Zhou, are you alright?"

Du Wilun, the Director of Studies at Shrek Academy's Outer Court, asked Zhou Yi with concern.

"You brats, are you trying to overthrow the heavens? Under this broad daylight, ganging up on a teacher – do you even have the demeanor of students?"

"If you want us to act like students, she should at least act like a teacher!"

"Why can this Old Woman expel us as she pleases? What heinous crime did we commit?"

"At worst, we just won't study anymore. Shrek doesn't lack one student like me anyway."

"Then let's all quit! Teachers at Shrek look down on me anyway. Elsewhere, at least teachers would greet me with a smile!"

"I don't want to study anymore either. I came here to learn, not to be called an idiot!"

"Yuhao, if we all drop out this time, will you come to my house with me?" Wang Dong'er sidled up to Huo Yuhao and whispered.

"My house is quite big, and my two dads are very powerful. It's definitely no worse than Shrek!"

Wang Qiuer's calm voice rang out, "Why should Yuhao go with you? Yuhao, come with me!"

"My home is no worse than hers. My Uncle Tian is also a renowned powerhouse on the continent, and I guarantee he can teach you to become a formidable Soul Master."

"Yuhao, who do you choose?" x2

Influenced by everyone's desire to quit, the students on the scene all submitted their resignations to Du Wilun.

Rather than being a grandson here, it was better to be a master elsewhere.

Du Wilun panicked. Hundreds of students voluntarily applying to withdraw was unprecedented in Shrek's ten-thousand-year history of education.

The power of the masses was immense. Du Wilun, a Soul Douluo, bowed to the students.

"Everyone, please listen to me. Let's all calm down."

"Whatever it is, let's sit down and discuss it, alright?"

Du Wilun was truly scared. Hundreds of students withdrawing simultaneously would have too great an impact.

This spanned all grades from one to five. If it got out, the repercussions would be even greater!

"Hmph, don't talk to us about that. You question me about why I hit the teacher the moment you arrive, but why don't you ask us why we hit her!"

"Since we're quitting anyway, everyone, why don't we beat up that Old Woman one more time?"

"Good idea! We'll beat her up and then quit. What can Shrek do to us?"

Seeing the students about to riot again, Mu Jin, aware of Du Wilun's strength, signaled the students to stop, stating she would handle it.

The students of Class One, having previously received favors from Mu Jin, hesitated for a long time before finally choosing to stop.

Among the senior students, many also knew Mu Jin, and some had even been her students.

Facing this gentle-natured homeroom teacher who always kept her word, everyone was willing to give her some face.

Seeing this, Mu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded at the students, acknowledging their compliance, and then turned to find Du Wilun.

"Teacher Mu Jin, thank you!" Du Wilun, seeing that Mu Jin had successfully pacified the students, let out a sigh of relief.

If these students had all rushed forward, he would have been very troubled.

Mu Jin shook her head. "Now is not the time for that."

"The top priority is to pacify these students as quickly as possible, otherwise, the entire Shrek Academy will be greatly affected."

Du Wilun asked, "Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Mu Jin said coldly, "What else can we do? Sacrifice a pawn to save the king."

"Either you choose this person who loves to expel students and abandon these students, or you abandon these students and choose to protect our 'outstanding teacher'."

"Ah... this." A choice between two options like this clearly led to hesitation, and Du Wilun was no exception.

"Is there no other way?"

"I've said all I can. If you have the guts, go tell that to the students!"

Zhou Yi had also recovered by this time. "Director Du Wilun, what's there to hesitate about?"

"Shrek Academy does not need these students who dare to lay hands on a teacher!"

"Shut up!"

Du Wilun was already annoyed by the choice he had to make, and Zhou Yi was just adding fuel to the fire. Enraged, Du Wilun knocked her unconscious with a slap.

"This matter is too significant; I need to report it to the Academy. Teacher Mu, I'll leave these children in your care!"

Du Wilun realized he was not qualified to make decisions on such a major issue and could only place his hopes on the Academy to resolve it.

Mu Jin nodded. As a teacher at Shrek, she bore this responsibility.

"Go ahead, I'll make sure to properly comfort these children."

Du Wilun took Zhou Yi with him, "I'm troubling you, Teacher Mu Jin!"

Mu Jin clapped her hands, "Everyone listen to me, children, you..."

Beneath the dormitory building, Mu En, who had witnessed the entire event unfold, opened his weathered eyes.

"Shrek... it's time for some reforms!"

This was a great opportunity, and Mu En hoped to use it to awaken some of those who were asleep!

"What? Something like this happened?"

The Dean of the Martial Soul Department, with his handsome appearance, upright posture, and extraordinary aura—Yan Shaozhe.

"The students collectively revolted and want to drop out!"

Du Wilun, standing before this Level 95 Super Douluo, reported with a stiff upper lip.

"Yes, at least nearly 150 people!"

This was the first time Yan Shaozhe had encountered such a situation. "Tell me in detail what happened?"

An hour later.

Yan Shaozhe stood with his back to Du Wilun, "I can't decide this matter either. If it's not handled properly, the consequences will be beyond what you or I can bear."

"It seems we need to convene an emergency Sea God Pavilion meeting. Wilun, you return and do your utmost to calm the children's emotions. Absolutely do not let them act recklessly!"

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, in the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek's Sea God Island.

An old man with white hair and a weathered face, but with exceptionally sharp eyes, wore a vintage robe embroidered with a golden trident.

Xuan Zi, who had taken over the position of Pavilion Master from Mu En a few years ago, looked at the assembled Elder Council.

"Alright, Shaozhe, we're all here. What important matter do you have to discuss with us?"

Yan Shaozhe rose from his seat, "The situation is as follows..."

"Something like this happened..." Xuan Zi also felt overwhelmed.

"Everything was fine before, why has it escalated so much this time?"

"Hmph, we're short on people here, but your Martial Soul Department is overflowing with talent, you can expel students as you please."

Facing Yan Shaozhe, a middle-aged beauty, about 1.7 meters tall, with a proud figure, fair skin, and long, dark, coiled hair, spoke with a chilling voice.

Yan Shaozhe's expression showed embarrassment, "You're wrong to say that, Lin'er!"

"Who could have imagined things would develop like this?"

Xian Lin'er was quite unforgiving, "I recall that every student expelled from the Martial Soul Department requires your approval as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department!"

"Don't tell me you didn't know. So many students were expelled, isn't this outcome only natural?"

"Yan Shaozhe, don't tell me you were too busy to even glance at those documents and just approved them casually!"
