Yan Shaozhe's Narrow-Mindedness
No wonder Di Tian always said that the most complex and unfathomable thing in the human world is the human heart; it's true.
The more glamorous a person appears on the surface, the more frightening the secrets they hide behind the scenes.
She flicked her fluffy tail and firmly memorized the name Yan Shaozhe.
Lin Ye is definitely right. If we encounter this human again, we must stay far away from him and never be fooled by his glamorous appearance.
Tang Ya's movements instantly stopped when she saw the contents of the diary in her mind.
She suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with icy coldness.
Yan Shaozhe, a descendant of Ye Xishui, and a holy son of the Holy Spirit Cult?
Tang Ya scoffed. She knew all too well what the Holy Spirit Cult was, but she never imagined that the dean of the Shrek Academy, the righteous leader who shouted every day about annihilating Evil Soul Master and maintaining peace on the continent, had long been tied to the Holy Spirit Cult.
A deep sense of mockery flashed in Tang Ya's eyes.
So this is what they call prestigious sects and righteous heroes.
On the surface, he shouts that he wants to exterminate the Evil Soul Master, but in reality, he is related to the leader of the Evil Soul Master and is even ridiculed for holding a high position in the Holy Spirit Cult. This is simply the funniest joke on the entire continent.
The hatred in her heart intensified.
When her parents were brutally murdered, these so-called righteous powerhouses standing at the top of the continent all stood by and watched coldly.
In retrospect, they were not righteous people at all, but a group of hypocrites in a glamorous guise.
Honestly, I've really seen something today. How did someone like Yan Shaozhe become the Dean of Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy?
[He not only completely wasted his talent, but his magnanimity was also extremely narrow-minded; not only was he petty, but his vision was also ridiculously short-sighted.]
[In the original novel, Huo Yuhao won the Freshman Tournament, Yan Shaozhe used Huo Yuhao's fact that his One-Ring was only ten years old and his Soul Power was weak as reasons to directly strip Huo Yuhao of his status Core Disciple.]
Ma Xiaotao's previously steady breathing changed instantly upon seeing those words, her brows furrowing.
As a genius disciple of the Shrek Academy, she knew better than anyone the significance of the Freshman Tournament champion. She was filled with doubt. "How could the teacher not know the value of the Freshman Tournament champion? Just because of a Ten-Year Soul Ring's obviously flawed, she directly dismissed someone? Is that really something a teacher would do?"
[Later, he lost Huo Yuhao to the Soul Guidance Department. Then, after Huo Yuhao rose to prominence, he shamelessly went to the Soul Guidance Department to demand Huo Yuhao back.]
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lexuan shook her head helplessly, a wave of undisguised disappointment washing over her.
As the Senior Sister of the Inner Court, she knew better than anyone the foundation of Shrek Academy, and at this moment she only felt humiliated.
As the Dean of Martial Soul Department, it is truly unbecoming of him to go back on his word like this.
He was the one who pushed the person forward in the first place, and now that the person has achieved success, he wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. His behavior is simply too disgusting.
[I can only say that this series of actions is hardly befitting of a high-ranking hospital director. It's clearly the behavior of a thug, a hooligan; this is definitely not something a normal person would do.]
[And I really just don't understand. Couldn't he have investigated more thoroughly? Huo Yuhao's performance in the Freshman Tournament was truly outstanding.]
Didn't anyone ever suspect that such an outstanding young man's Soul Ring were really only ten years old? That's impossible, isn't it?
Tang Ya couldn't help but scoff at this statement, thinking to herself, "Investigate? He's too lazy to even bother. In his eyes, a commoner with no background and only ten years of experience with his First Soul Ring, no matter how impressive his performance, wouldn't catch his eye. His arrogance, stemming from his high position, is ingrained in his very bones."
If there were even the slightest suspicion, one would likely notice the clues.
It's important to understand that although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is a million-year-old Soul Beast, it cannot hide its true nature all the time.
If Yan Shaozhe had simply investigated more thoroughly, he would have definitely found some clues, but he didn't.
The Far North.
Upon seeing this, Ice Empress couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer, full of contempt. "Hmph, that useless dean, even if he had the chance to investigate, he wouldn't have the ability to see through Tian Meng's disguise."
Moreover, he's too lazy to even investigate. Does such a blind and incompetent person deserve to lead the Martial Soul Department of the continent's number one academy?
Snow Empress nodded slightly, a hint of disapproval flashing in her cold eyes. She added, "He is morally corrupt, blind to the truth, and in charge of an academy yet lacks the ability to recognize talent. He is complacent and will only mislead the younger generation, destroying Shrek's millennia-old foundation. I'm sure Mu En has seen this as well."
Not granting Huo Yuhao the status of Core Disciple is short-sighted.
The earlier comment about his narrow-mindedness refers to his attitude towards Soul Tool. Any normal person can see the development trend of Soul Tool; it's a path that will absolutely rival that of Soul Master in the future.
Star Dou Forest, at the Lake of Life.
A ripple of emotion stirred within Gu Yuena: "Even I can clearly foresee that Soul Tool are the inevitable future development direction for humanity, enough to overturn the Soul Master system that has lasted for ten thousand years. This so-called dean doesn't even have this much vision. No wonder Shrek will eventually decline step by step."
But what was the result? This guy is quite old, and his thinking has become rigid and stagnant.
What everyone else could see, he, the Dean of Martial Soul Department, couldn't. This led to his strong aversion to the Soul Guidance Department, and the academy's resources were prioritized for the Martial Soul Department. Consequently, the academy lagged behind the Sun Moon Empire in Soul Guidance Technology.
Upon seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook its fluffy golden head and muttered to itself: This person's luck is constantly slipping away because of his stubbornness and arrogance.
He also tightly controlled the academy's resources in the hands of the Martial Soul Department, effectively diverting most of Shrek's fortune.
[If Huo Yuhao hadn't stepped in later, poaching many soul-guiding geniuses from the Sun Moon Empire from the Virtue Hall, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department would never have been able to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire in this lifetime.]
As a successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian was taught from a young age to have a keen eye for the big picture and to plan for the future. At this moment, she was filled with understanding and disdain.
No wonder Shrek's Soul Guidance Department has been lukewarm all these years; the root of the problem lies here.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had long ago begun to fully develop the Soul Tool industry, but Yan Shaozhe still clung to the same old methods, remaining stagnant and bound to be eliminated by this era sooner or later.
At the same time, she was also very puzzled. How could he be a dean? Did he really not see how huge the development potential of the Soul Guidance Department was? If he was really that stupid, then it could only mean that Mu En had really made the wrong choice.
