Mu En: Outstanding Newcomers Must Be Cultivated

Mu En's words carried tremendous weight. He was Shrek's Ultimate Douluo and the Dragon God Douluo. On the Douluo Continent, whether Evil Soul Masters or the royal families of the three empires, all held this Dragon God Douluo in great respect.

Moreover, as an Ultimate Douluo, he had made such a grave oath at this moment. If these family members truly came to harm, then he, an Ultimate Douluo, would really chop off his own head and use it as a ball.

It could be said that, in order to resolve Shrek's problems, this Dragon God Douluo had staked his very life on it. He had also made clear that he would absolutely compensate these victims for their losses.

Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion looked at their Pavilion Master in disbelief at this moment.

"Mu En."

Gong Changlong looked at Mu En in disbelief as well. An Ultimate Douluo actually dared to make such a statement. An Ultimate Douluo could not speak carelessly when making an oath, because they had already connected with part of the rules of heaven and earth.

If he dared to make such a grave oath, then if these family members truly suffered harm, Mu En would really have to cut off his own head.

"Everyone, you have seen it, haven't you? We at Shrek are willing to compensate your families for your losses. Whatever you need, we will provide it. If any of you have children in the future who need our help, we will absolutely give them our fullest support. As long as you are satisfied and willing to trust us, whatever you need from Shrek, we will provide."

Yan Shaozhe found it rather astonishing that Dragon God Douluo Mu En had dared to make such an oath, but there was no other choice at this moment. They had to quell the anger of these victims.

At the same time, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Mu En's actions. It simply was not worth it to stake his life on compensating these weak Soul Master families. Besides, Mu En did not have many years left to live.

The only reason he was still alive now was because of the Golden Ancient Book. Thus, Yan Shaozhe felt that the compensation Mu En was offering these families, merely to make them trust Shrek again, was a tremendous loss.

These Soul Master families probably could not even gather a single Soul Saint among them, yet an Ultimate Douluo had to swear an oath. If Shrek played any tricks, an Ultimate Douluo would have to lose his head. It felt like an enormous loss.

"Everyone, we have now seen the sincerity of the Dragon God Douluo. Then we will state our demands. I only hope that you can compensate us for the loss of our children."

At this moment, one of the family members was also willing to give Mu En some face.

"We are willing as well. As long as Shrek compensates us for our losses, that will be enough."

Seeing these families begin to compromise, Mu En finally let out a sigh of relief. If so many Soul Master families had caused an uproar, Shrek's foundations would surely have been shaken. Now that they were willing to settle the matter peacefully with Shrek and resolve it privately, he was naturally pleased.

"Thank you, everyone. I, the Dragon God Douluo, swear here that I will never allow such a thing to happen again."

"We are willing to give the Dragon God Douluo face because we hope you will keep your word."

"Rest assured. We at Shrek will absolutely honor our promise."

After finally resolving the matter with those family members, the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion convened another meeting.

"Mu En, I think you went too far this time. There was absolutely no need to stake your own head on compensating those families. No matter how capable those people are, they do not even have a Soul Douluo, let alone a Title Douluo. Why should we compensate them so heavily? If something really happens to them, you will have to cut off your own head!"

"I think so too, Mu En. You truly went too far with this. There was no need to stake your own head. If something really happens to those people, you will genuinely have to cut it off. There is absolutely no need to compensate them for such huge losses. Our academy needs to survive too!"

Shi Xing and Qian Duoduo both felt that Old Song and Yan Shaozhe were right.

To quell the anger of families that did not even have a Soul Douluo, Mu En had nearly staked his own head.

This made the elders of the Sea God Pavilion feel rather uneasy, because Mu En was currently Shrek's only Ultimate Douluo.

If he died, Shrek would no longer have an Ultimate Douluo.

At present, the new generation of geniuses had not yet been cultivated. If this pillar were to die, what would Shrek do then?

"Have you still not realized where the problem lies? It is precisely because too many teachers like us are irresponsible, because there are too many teachers like Xuan Zi, that these family members are so furious!"

"Let me make one thing clear: we are an academy, not some faction. Shrek is the continent's foremost holy land, but we are still an academy. Our duty is to educate every student well and do what we are supposed to do, not become a bunch of profiteers seeking benefits for ourselves. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. If we truly cannot satisfy the conditions of these victims, then in the long run, our future will inevitably face trouble."

Mu En looked at these elders of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion and felt deeply distressed. Over the years, these people had come to treat Shrek not as an academy, but as a faction.

In his heart, Shrek was best kept as an academy. Only then could it develop for a long time, continue to grow, and avoid having enemies. Yet Shrek had now become a faction.

If this continued, Shrek Academy's very nature would change. It would certainly make countless enemies, and whether it could continue to exist would become a question.

Mu En could no longer tolerate what these elders were saying. They spoke of an academy as though it were a Soul Master faction. In the future, would Shrek even be able to survive? It would be far too easy for it to make countless enemies. Shrek already had many enemies; if this continued, it would definitely make even more.

"If all of you think this way, then I can only do one thing: cultivate new talent. None of you need remain elders any longer."

"You will all step down. I will find someone among the students suitable to become the next Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, establish a new leadership, and allow Shrek to continue."
