Mu En's Brilliant Scheme Settles the Realm, Xuan Zi Plans to Defy Him in Secret

As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe certainly did not want Shrek Academy to shift its focus.

A college has only so many resources. If the focus is placed on the Soul Tool Department, the quota for the Martial Soul Department will inevitably be reduced. Yan Shaozhe naturally does not want to see such a thing happen.

Upon hearing his words, before Mu En could react, Xian Lin'er immediately exploded.

The Soul Tool Department has been frustrated for so long, and finally saw a glimmer of hope for its rise. She absolutely cannot let Soul Tool Department Yan Shaozhe ruin that hope!

"Bang!"

Xian Lin'er slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Yan Shaozhe.

"What did you say, Yan Shaozhe? How many times have you looked down on our Soul Tool Department? If you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely not let you off this time!"

Seeing his nominal wife so angry, the loyal sycophant Qian Duoduo couldn't help but want to chime in.

Yan Shaozhe didn't take Xian Lin'er's words to heart at all, but he was prepared to argue with her. Only by stirring up trouble could he make this matter end without any further incident.

To Yan Shaozhe's surprise, Mu En's face darkened, and he glared at him fiercely.

"Do we have to lose a few more Inner Court disciples before we make a change? Let me tell you, even without this incident, I would still convene Sea God Pavilion Meeting to discuss the matter of Soul Tool!"

"The times are constantly progressing, and the increasing power of Soul Tool is the best proof of that. It is indeed good for Soul Master to be strong individually, but with the support of Soul Tool, their strength can be further enhanced."

"As the Martial Soul Department Head, you have remained stagnant and unwilling to accept change for so many years. If you continue like this, you will no longer be able to serve as the Martial Soul Department Head! The money that the Inner Court Martial Soul Department paid for the Soul Tool Department to purchase the Soul Tool must be paid, and it must be paid on the spot!"

Seeing his teacher get angry, Yan Shaozhe could only suppress his dissatisfaction and respectfully agreed. Xian Lin'er, on the other hand, looked like she had won a great victory.

Cai Mei'er, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over for her husband.

"Mu En, what about this year's Soul Master Competition? There are only two regular team members left, Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng. The strongest in the reserve team are Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan, and their cultivation level is only Soul Ancestor. If we don't send Inner Court students to support us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win the championship this time."

Xuan Zi quickly changed the subject to the Soul Master Competition and nodded.

"If I take the students from the Inner Court to fly there, we should still have enough time."

Xuan Zi didn't dare to say that Ning Tian had once mentioned that the academy should equip everyone with Invincible Barrier, and even after being rejected by him, he said that he was willing to pay out of his own pocket to give Invincible Barrier to everyone.

Given Mu En's current state, Xuan Zi really doesn't know what fate awaits him if he speaks out.

Faced with Cai Mei'er and Xuan Zi's suggestion, Mu En shook his head without hesitation.

"No, there's no need to send other Inner Court students to support them. Let them do their part in this Soul Master Competition."

"Ah???"

The elders were startled by these words, and one of them couldn't help but speak out.

"Mu En! The Soul Master Competition is a matter of honor for the academy! For ten thousand years, the final champion of every competition has been Shrek Academy. If this championship is taken by another academy, especially by the people of the Sun Moon Empire, how can we face the predecessors who fought for it!"

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Mu En smiled nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Yes, honor. But haven't you noticed that after ten thousand years, Shrek has long been bound by this honor? Losing isn't scary; what's scary is pride and complacency, being so arrogant that you think Shrek Academy is invincible!"

"In the past thirty years, Soul Tool have developed rapidly, and the Soul Tool Technology of the Sun Moon Empire has become more and more powerful. But what are we Shrek doing? Are we standing still? If we continue like this, it may not be long before our Shrek Academy is completely eliminated by the times!"

"Let's take this opportunity to make everyone see reality, and let the people of the Shrek Academy feel ashamed and then strive to improve!"

Yan Shaozhe knew that his teacher's words were meant for him, and he couldn't help but lower his head, his old face slightly red.

The other elders also looked thoughtful.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Mu En couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If possible, he would certainly hope that Glory of Shrek could be maintained forever, and preferably never be broken.

However, the previous seven regular team members were already among the strongest of the eligible students in the Inner Court. Even if we find more people to supplement them now, we may not be able to win the final championship.

Rather than gambling, it's better to just accept it.

In this way, even if Shrek doesn't ultimately win the championship, they still have a reason to claim that they suffered casualties while fighting to protect the safety of the continent against the Evil Soul Master, which led to their failure to win the final championship.

This will not diminish Glory of Shrek; on the contrary, it will further elevate Shrek's image in the minds of the people of mainland China.

If even something like this can't be understood, then it's not just Xuan Zi who can't be relied upon in the Sea God Pavilion; we can't have too much hope in the others either!

Mu En shook his head inwardly and then looked at Xian Lin'er across from him.

"Lin'er, after this Soul Master Competition ends, send a letter in the name of the Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, requesting an exchange program and sending our Soul Tool Department students to them for exchange and learning."

Xian Lin'er was taken aback upon hearing this. "Mu En, will the other party agree? Even if they do, our students will definitely be heavily guarded there, and I'm afraid they won't be able to learn anything at all."

Mu En smiled slightly.

"Tell them that as long as they agree to our exchange, they can also send ten students to us for exchange and learning. If they want to learn advanced Martial Soul Department knowledge from us, then they will naturally need to open up some advanced Soul Tool Department technology to us."

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

As expected of Mu En, he immediately and accurately grasped the sore spot of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy!

They are very confident people. Given the opportunity, any academy on the continent would want to learn from Shrek's experience and knowledge, especially the Sun Moon Empire, which has probably been coveting Shrek for a long time.

It's unlikely that the other party would refuse such a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Furthermore, once the exchange begins, if possible, could we try to steal some advanced Soul Tool, design blueprints, and manuals from them?

Apart from Xuan Zi, all the other elders understood the true intention behind Mu En's decision and were determined to reveal this to the students before the exchange began!

Mu En then proposed that Fan Yu become the vice dean of the Soul Tool Department. Although everyone knew that this was more to compensate his wife Zhou Yi for her disfigurement, they all tacitly said that it was because of Fan Yu's outstanding contributions.

After everything was over, Mu En also told Xuan Zi to return to Star Luo City as soon as possible to avoid any further accidents.

While Xuan Zi agreed, he inwardly disagreed with Mu En Enna's decision to give up the championship. Shrek's glory, which had been maintained for ten thousand years, should not be lost in their generation!

No matter the cost, we must win this championship!
