Yun Ming: I Am the Sea God Pavilion Master!
As soon as Zhen Hua said this, an eerie silence fell over the meeting room.
No one doubted that the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua would joke about something like this, which meant that Huo Yuhao would indeed become the new Divine Craftsman in the future!
If he becomes Divine Craftsman, it will change the entire continent's landscape!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the corner against the wall.
Huo Yuhao sat there calmly, but his composure was far beyond that of an ordinary young man.
The Elder looked at him with even more complicated expressions.
They realized that this young man, whom they had already held in high regard, was far more extraordinary than they had imagined!
Zhen Hua's words sounded like he was praising his disciple, and everyone knew that he was also saying he would definitely stand up for his disciple.
Huo Yuhao is his disciple; anyone who wants to harm him must first get his permission.
When Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Huo Yuhao, he became more solemn, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.
He was thinking about the possibility of a Divine Craftsman appearing in the Spirit Pagoda in the future.
Zhen Hua took in everyone's expressions and continued, "Yuhao is my disciple, and I will support his decisions."
After speaking, the Divine Craftsman, who had been smiling the whole time, suddenly became serious.
The smile on Zhang Gangyi's face vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
He said in a deep voice, "But if anyone tries to force him to do anything, I, as his teacher, will be the first to object!"
Zhen Hua spoke with conviction, each word like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the Shrek students.
Upon hearing this, they all felt a tremor in their hearts.
The words of the Divine Craftsman still carried great weight in their hearts!
At this moment, many of the originally hardline Shrek Elder were no longer so determined to keep Huo Yuhao.
Although Zhen Hua was just one person, and his strength and influence were no Spirit Pagoda, they dared not underestimate him in the slightest.
They even considered Zhen Hua's opinion more important than that of the Spirit Pagoda.
If they offend Zhen Hua, Shrek might never be able to produce Four-Word Battle Armor Master again.
After all, only Divine Craftsman can forge the metal materials needed to make Four-Word Battle Armor, and Zhen Hua is currently the only Divine Craftsman on the continent.
Even... the next Divine Craftsman is Huo Yuhao, whom they want to "force" to stay at the Shrek Academy.
Without Zhen Hua and Huo Yuhao's approval, future Titled Douluo of the Shrek Academy will forever remain at the level of Three-Word Battle Armor.
This would instantly halve the academy's overall strength, and its title as the number one academy on the continent would become untenable!
Having understood these points, many of the Elder have begun to change their minds.
They began to re-evaluate the pros and cons and rethink the gains and losses.
Compared to Huo Yuhao's potential future "sneak attack" on the Shrek Academy by bypassing the Golden Tree's defenses, the Four-Word Battle Armor is probably more important.
Seeing the change in the expressions of these Elder, Long Yeyue suddenly stood up.
She looked at Zhen Hua and said, "Huo Yuhao is still young, and his decisions may not be correct. We, as his teachers, need to help him steer him in the right direction!"
Zhen Hua opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a voice came from beside him.
"Yuhao is exceptionally talented and mature beyond his years; he shouldn't be treated like a child."
The one speaking was the ordinary-looking man next to Zhen Hua.
He snorted, his voice full of mockery. "If you want to keep Yuhao at Shrek, just say so. No need for these excuses!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue's breath hitched.
The anger surged in her chest, burning her insides.
Despite having acted arrogantly and domineeringly at the Shrek Academy for so many years, even Yun Ming, the Number One Person on the continent, treated her with utmost respect.
In the past two days, she had been repeatedly contradicted by Leng Yaozhu and Qiangu Dongfeng, two juniors, because of Huo Yuhao's matter, which was enough to make her furious.
She couldn't afford to offend the Divine Craftsman, but how dare these Titled Douluo, whom she'd never even met, mock her?!
So Long Yeyue immediately retorted angrily, "Where did you come from? What right do you have to speak here?"
This person showed no weakness, looking at Long Yeyue coldly and saying, "Shrek Academy is still the same, domineering and tyrannical!"
"I am the master of the title body, Huo Yuhao is my nephew."
"I'll be the first to object if you want to keep him at the Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled once again.
Three words instantly flashed through their minds— The Body Sect!
Historically, only the sect leader of the Body Sect has inherited the title of "Body"!
Shrek Academy is very familiar with the Body Sect.
It was once a powerful force on par with the Shrek Academy. Although the Body Sect later weakened, the strength of the experts who emerged from the Body Sect should not be underestimated.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao is also involved with the Body Sect?
That's right, the person who came with the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua was none other than Mu Ye, the current sect leader of the Body Sect Mu Ye!
At this moment, an Elder suddenly spoke up, his voice tinged with doubt. "Isn't Huo Yuhao a member of the Spirit Pagoda? How could he possibly be the grand-nephew of the His Excellency Body Sect Master?"
Mu Ye glanced at the Elder and snorted, "What? Is that not allowed?"
"Having encountered a genius like Yuhao, I set aside sectarian differences and imparted to him the Body Secret Art."
After saying that, he didn't forget to mock Shrek Academy: "Unlike your Shrek Academy, which would keep Yuhao in the academy for such a trivial matter."
"I don't know if you're really concerned for the safety of the academy, or if you're just coveting Yuhao's talent!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Shrek Academy room lowered their heads.
The aged faces were filled with embarrassment; compared to the actions of the Body Sect, they did indeed appear petty.
While the Elder were humiliated, Yun Ming felt a surge of satisfaction.
He knew his opportunity had arrived. Now, with the tide turning, the Spirit Pagoda, the Divine Craftsman, and the Body Sect were all supporting Huo Yuhao.
Shrek Academy has no reason to keep him any longer.
His gaze swept over the crowd, and he said directly, "Huo Yuhao's resonance with the Golden Tree is his own destiny. Shrek Academy's mission to teach and impart knowledge is only natural."
"From now on, everything will remain the same. Huo Yuhao is a first-year student of the Outer Court at the Shrek Academy. He is not required to enter the Inner Court. He can decide for himself whether to stay or leave after graduating from the Outer Court!"
After these words were spoken, all the Elder had previously insisted on keeping Huo Yuhao at the academy fell silent.
The four members of the Spirit Pagoda, the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, and the Body Sect Mu Ye's Muye all showed a smile.
This matter has ended in a way that is a happy ending for everyone.
However, Qiangu Dongfeng's gaze immediately sharpened as he looked at Long Yeyue.
He was pondering how to handle the previous humiliation. Should he avoid creating further complications?
But just then, he saw Long Yeyue speak again, her face full of resentment.
Long Yeyue suddenly looked at Yun Ming, her aged eyes filled with stubbornness. She roared, "Yun Ming! You're giving in like this? You're putting the academy in danger!"
Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Yun Ming, the veins bulging on the back of her aged hand.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, and his deep eyes were filled with exhaustion.
He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Master's wife, Shrek Academy is just an academy; it's inappropriate for them to force Huo Yuhao to stay."
Long Yeyue, however, wouldn't listen at all. She shouted again, "If your teacher were still alive, he would never have agreed to you doing this!"
Seeing that Long Yeyue had brought up her teacher, Heavenly Favored Douluo, Yun Ming's expression darkened even more.
He said coldly, "I am now the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion!"
Long Yeyue looked at Yun Ming in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to speak to her like that.
How dare Yun Ming, who had always been so respectful to her, talk back to her like that?
"You... you..."
Long Yeyue pointed at Yun Ming, her aged hand trembling even more violently.
Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Finally, a glint of madness flashed in her eyes, and she shouted, "Yun Ming, you will regret this! You don't deserve the title of the Number One Person on the continent!"
"You gave in just because these few people put pressure on the Shrek Academy? Where did your youthful arrogance go?"
