Is Shrek Academy Planning to Unify the Continent?

At this moment, Wang Dong'er was already leading the First-Year Class One towards the Teaching Building.

With Zhou Yi, the class teacher, suddenly leaving her post, it wouldn't be right to leave dozens of freshmen standing on the Playground, being stared at like monkeys by other students from the Outer Court.

There are still quite a few students gathered around the Playground, whispering among themselves about Zhou Yi's outburst in class. The news has spread throughout the entire Shrek Outer Court in just half an hour, and even the dean of the Outer Court Yan Shaozhe, has received the news.

However, he never showed up or gave any instructions; he simply observed from the sidelines, wanting to see how Fan Yu would handle the matter.

Wang Dong'er walked at the front of the group, repeatedly replaying the contents of Lin Ye's diary in her mind. Besides the surprise of watching the drama unfold, she also felt a deep sense of doubt and scrutiny towards the Shrek Academy.

She knew very well that although Shrek Academy was nominally a neutral Soul Master Academy, it had been in an open state of hostility with the Sun Moon Empire for many years.

Even with the three great empires of the Heaven Soul Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Star Luo Empire, the relationship is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

After all, Shrek Academy is just too domineering. From students to teachers, and even the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion, everyone in the academy follows the motto. "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

Under the influence of this philosophy, the Soul Master trained by Shrek are all fearless troublemakers who act arrogantly and domineeringly.

Not to mention the Sun Moon Empire, which has always been at odds with them, even the three great empires backed by them— Heaven Soul Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Star Luo Empire —have a very ambiguous and wary attitude towards Shrek Academy.

However, the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool development was rapid and its national strength was strong, while the three major empires were weak and could only cling to the Shrek Academy, a towering tree, without daring to complain in the slightest.

Despite her young age, she already possessed a far greater understanding of the intricacies of power dynamics than her peers.

She used to think that Teacher Fan Yu took He Caitou as his apprentice because he was impressed by his amazing talent in Soul Tool, but now she realized that things were not that simple.

Why would a former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire be brought to the Shrek Academy by Fan Yu and trained as a Core Disciple? What exactly are the higher-ups at the Shrek Academy planning?

Thinking of this, he recalled what Lin Ye had said: Shrek Academy was actually a den of iniquity.

She hadn't believed it before, but now that this has happened, it seems that a corner of the filthy Shrek Academy has been gently lifted.

Honestly, I don't believe the higher-ups at the Shrek Academy don't know He Caitou's true identity.

How could anyone not know? Anyone with eyes could see that the skin color of the Sun Moon Imperial Family is completely different from that of the people of the three great empires: Heaven Soul Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Star Luo Empire.

He Caitou's dark complexion clearly indicated he was from the Sun Moon Empire; it wasn't just from tanning.

The diary entries that flashed through Ma Xiaotao's mind made her raise an eyebrow.

She had a good relationship with Teacher Fan Yu and had met He Caitou many times. She thought the boy was honest and down-to-earth, and his talent in Soul Tool was amazing. She never thought much about his identity.

Now that Lin Ye had pointed it out, she belatedly realized that He Caitou's skin color was indeed out of place compared to the other students at Shrek.

Previously, everyone thought that his tan was due to years of training and researching Soul Tool, but now it seems that it was simply a natural skin color characteristic of the Sun Moon Imperial Family.

Even if someone turns a blind eye and insists that his skin tone is from years of outdoor training, or that he is an exchange student or Soul Master from the Sun Moon Continent, they can barely fool him.

But his Second Martial Soul is the Sun Martial Soul! That's a unique, exclusive Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Imperial Family. No one but direct descendants of the Imperial Family family could possibly awaken it. There's no way to explain that, is there?

Tang Ya bit her lower lip and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Shrek Academy claims to only accept monsters and not ordinary people, and to uphold the righteous path of the Soul Master World, being the last pure land on the continent. But behind the scenes, they've been engaging in this despicable scheme of deception and planting spies.

The former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire was hidden in the academy and nurtured with all his might. If this were to get out, the three great empires would probably be wary of Shrek Academy and would never dare to be so devoted to it again.

As the Tang Sect Master, Tang Ya may be a bit Xiao Bai and girlish in matters of the heart, but when it comes to power and scheming, she is far superior to her peers.

She could deduce the wicked schemes of the Shrek Academy's higher-ups from just a few words.

There are many ways to hide your Second Martial Soul. Any Soul Skill that can conceal your aura, or a low-level Soul Tool that can conceal it, will suffice.

The problem is, he is Fan Yu's personal disciple and a core genius in the Soul Guidance Department that Shrek Academy is focusing on cultivating. How could the academy's higher-ups not have thoroughly investigated his entire family history to get him into Shrek and become Fan Yu's disciple?

Forget about Second Martial Soul, the academy could probably find out exactly how many times he wet the bed as a child.

Therefore, there is only one conclusion: the higher-ups at the Shrek Academy knew He Caitou's true identity from the very beginning, knowing that he was Xu He, the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

As the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian has been immersed in the power struggles and intrigues of the sect since childhood. He is far more sensitive to these intricacies of power than his peers.

When the diary entry flashed through her mind, she instantly grasped the key point, a knowing glint and a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

So that's how it is. As far as he knew, Shrek Academy had always harbored strong hostility towards the Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire. How could the academy's higher-ups make an exception and accept a boy from the Sun Moon Empire, and even hand him over to Fan Yu, the academy's top Soul Tool, for personal training, showering him with the best Soul Tool resources?

Now that Lin Ye has said that, all the doubts have been resolved.

A former crown prince who was ousted in a coup d'état harbors an irreconcilable blood feud with the current Imperial Family of the Sun Moon Empire.

If Shrek Academy nurtures him, he will become the sharpest knife Shrek can use to penetrate the heart of the Sun Moon Empire.

As long as they use his former title as crown prince to fight their way back to the Sun Moon Empire and help him ascend the throne, the entire Sun Moon Empire will fall into Shrek's hands.

That was a truly far-sighted and cunning move.

She used to think that Shrek was a holy land in the Soul Master World, but now she realizes that the rulers of this holy land are all top-notch masters of power politics.

Shrek Academy has packaged itself exceptionally well over the years.

Packaging it as a holy land in the Soul Master World gives the impression that if you're not a student from the Shrek Academy, your status is inferior to other Soul Master.
