Propaganda and Hype, Shrek is Stunned! Yu Xiaogang: Absurd, Pulling Seedlings to Encourage Growth, Misleading Disciples!

"That is exactly the effect I wanted."

Huang Yan's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Only by demonstrating absolute strength can one recruit true talent.

Meng Shu, add one more point to the publicity:

The Divine Radiant Sect welcomes all talents under heaven, regardless of origin or background.

As long as one possesses sufficient talent or a unique skill, they may join the sect.

All core disciples will be bestowed with secret elixirs by the sect to ensure their cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds."

Huang Yan was clear on the situation.

The plot had reached this point already.

Geniuses of similar age to him had already joined various academies or factions.

But that did not mean top-tier talent could not be recruited.

The original story might not have mentioned them, but that did not mean there were no geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power appearing after Tang San and the others.

If the Divine Radiant Sect could recruit them, that would naturally be for the best.

If not, it would be of no consequence.

"The Young Master is wise!"

Chao Tianxiang listened from the side, her blood boiling with excitement as she praised him repeatedly:

"With two Title Douluo as our golden signboard, coupled with the Young Master's miraculous pills that seize the very fortune of heaven and earth.

This old woman dares to guarantee that once the news spreads, free soul masters across the entire continent will flock to us, breaking down the threshold of our Yanhuang Sect!"

Meng Shu slammed his dragon-headed cane against the floor with force and loudly accepted the order:

"Rest assured, Young Master!

This old man will go and arrange it immediately!

Within three days, not just in the Bala Kingdom, I will make the name 'Divine Radiant Sect' ring out across the entire soul master world of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Go."

Huang Yan waved his hand, his gaze deep and profound.

"The bigger the commotion, the better. Do not fear that a tall tree attracts the wind.

Whoever is dissatisfied, we shall simply beat them into submission."

After receiving the order, Meng Shu immediately took Chao Tianxiang and hurried away.

They went to mobilize all the resources and connections of the Meng Family to start building momentum for the founding of the Divine Radiant Sect.

Inside the hall, only Huang Yan, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran remained.

Dugu Bo pulled over a chair and sat down, looking at Huang Yan on the main seat as he asked:

"Young Master, the old dragon has gone to busy himself with the external affairs, what does this old man need to do?"

Huang Yan picked up the teacup on the table and gently brushed aside the floating tea leaves:

"Old Poison, as the Supreme Elder, you will naturally oversee the overall situation of the sect.

In addition, go to the Meng Family's backyard and find me a perfectly quiet secret chamber with abundant fire-attribute energy.

I intend to fire up the furnace and refine pills.

Since the Divine Radiant Sect has publicly promised to bestow secret elixirs, we must naturally prepare sufficient foundations first."

Before Huang Yan had taken his human form, he had spent his idle time refining pills.

Relying on his bloodline memories, Huang Yan possessed immense talent for alchemy.

In this current era, it could definitely be considered a dimensional strike.

"Understood. This old man will arrange it personally, and I guarantee that not even a fly will be able to get in."

Dugu Bo nodded, then chuckled with a grin.

"This old man is quite greedy for the pills the Young Master refines."

"Young Master..."

At this moment, Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran, who had been standing below, exchanged a glance and stepped forward in unison.

Expectation flickered in Meng Yiran's beautiful eyes as she asked in a sweet voice:

"Grandfather and Senior Dugu both have tasks, so what about Sister Yan and me?"

Huang Yan set down his teacup, his gaze sweeping over the two women:

"The two of you, as the first generation of core disciples of the Divine Radiant Sect, are currently far from strong enough.

If you were to be suppressed by peers from the Upper Three Sects or Martial Soul Hall in the future, it would be my face that gets lost."

Dugu Yan immediately puffed out her chest and said, refusing to admit defeat:

"Rest assured, Young Master, Yanyan will never bring shame upon you!

Whatever you command, whether it be climbing a mountain of blades or plunging into a sea of flames, I will not even knit my brows!"

Meng Yiran also hurriedly expressed her stance:

"Yiran is not afraid of hardship either!

As long as I can become stronger, I will do whatever the Young Master asks!"

"A good attitude."

Huang Yan nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"For the time being, I will personally design a special training plan for you both.

Yiran, your soul power has just experienced a massive increase; although I have stabilized your foundation, your practical combat experience and control over your power are still too crude.

Yanyan, although the toxins within your body have been transformed into a pure poison-attribute foundation, your application of poison remains at a superficial level."

"Please, Young Master, enlighten us!"

The two women spoke in unison, their voices filled with respect.

Huang Yan stood up and calmly instructed:

"Go and prepare. Tomorrow morning, the special training will officially begin.

Additionally, have Meng Shu pick out a few commoner seedlings with decent talent and clean backgrounds from the Beast Academy while he is at it.

Since we are building a sect, relying on just the two of you is not enough to uphold the reputation of the younger generation.

I will personally inspect their quality; if there are any promising talents, we shall incorporate them as core disciples."

"Yes! Young Master!"

The two women responded crisply, turning to leave with faces full of excitement.

Dugu Bo watched his granddaughter's energetic retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Young Master, your methods have truly captured the hearts of these two girls completely."

Huang Yan walked toward the outside of the hall with his hands behind his back, chuckling without looking back:

"Let's go, old Poison Douluo.

Let us go see the alchemy room the Meng Family has prepared for me.

For these next few days, let the storm outside blow for a while."

In just three short days, the momentum built by Meng Shu swept through the entire Bala Kingdom like a hurricane.

Suotuo City, located not far from Bala City, was naturally at the center of this storm.

Inside the simple wooden conference room of Shrek Academy.

Flender slammed a notice printed with hot-stamped gold characters onto the table, his expression graver than ever before.

"Take a look, everyone. This is the latest news from Bala City.

It is simply madness!"

Zhao Wuji leaned in to take a glance, his eyes widening abruptly as he exclaimed:

"Dragon Duke Meng Shu... has broken through to level ninety-one?!

With the title 'Dragon Staff'?

How is this possible!

That old fellow has been stuck at the Soul Douluo rank for so many years; how could he suddenly break through?!"

"That is not all."

Flender took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Meng Shu and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo have joined forces to establish a sect called the 'Divine Radiant Sect'.

The entire Bala City is in an uproar now, and rogue cultivators from across the entire continent are rushing over there!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the teachers and students of Shrek in the conference room all gasped in unison.

Dai Mubai's face revealed shock:

"A sect presided over by two Title Douluo...

With this foundation, even if it cannot compare to the Upper Three Sects, it would definitely be a cut above the Lower Four Sects!

How could such a behemoth emerge in the Bala Kingdom?"

Zhao Wuji frowned deeply and whispered:

"Poison Douluo has always been a lone wolf, not even giving face to Martial Soul Hall or the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Why would he suddenly go and establish a sect with a Meng Shu who has only just broken through?"

"That is not even the most outrageous part."

Flender pointed to the last line of the notice, his tone complex.

"Look here.

The Divine Radiant Sect claims to be recruiting talents from across the world.

Anyone who can become a core disciple will be bestowed with a 'secret medicine' by the sect, ensuring their cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds."

"Absurd!"

Yu Xiaogang, who had remained silent until now, slammed his hand onto the table and stood up, his eyes filled with certainty and disdain.

"The path of cultivation demands a steady, step-by-step approach!

Where could there possibly be a secret medicine that allows one to progress by leaps and bounds?

Even if there were, it would undoubtedly be a vicious drug that overdraws one's vitality and potential!

Meng Shu is merely forcing the shoots to grow by pulling them; he is leading his disciples astray!"
