Shrek, Sea God Pavilion.
Mu En sat in the main seat, flanked by many elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
" Yan Shaozhe, tell me, what's the deal with that Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's reserve team captain in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament? What's his strength? Can he win the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament?"
After Song Yunzhi sent someone to exchange personnel with Jing Hongchen, Mu En didn't sit idle either. He immediately called on the people from the Sea God Pavilion to discuss the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
As members of Shrek Academy's leadership, everyone was actually aware of Shrek's teaching capabilities. Shrek never created geniuses; they were merely transporters of geniuses.
There might be one or two students at Shrek whose strength rapidly increased after obtaining a perfectly suited Soul Bone, but such students are ultimately a minority.
Moreover, anyone who can get into Shrek Academy is already quite talented. The entrance standard of level 15 before the age of twelve, combined with the requirement to participate in the second-year assessment, means that one must reach the second ring. Such individuals are geniuses in any academy.
The reason why Shrek Academy has so many geniuses is simply because Shrek is the number one Soul Master Academy on the entire continent, and has monopolized the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament for the past ten thousand years.
With such a prestigious reputation, Shrek can siphon geniuses from all over the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, and then select the top talents to serve Shrek, or at least make them Shrek's hidden henchmen.
Everything was fine until Shrek lost the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
In the original story, Mu En could accept losing because Shrek Academy already had Huo Yuhao's top-tier Twin Martial Souls at that time, and besides, losing was only against the reserve team.
Even the reserve team members of that year felt guilty towards Shrek because of losing the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, who were considered top-tier geniuses, felt guilty towards Shrek Academy, which was far more beneficial to Shrek than for some ordinary geniuses.
But things are different now. Now it's the starting lineup that's losing, and Shrek has no excuses for their defeat.
In the coming years, Shrek Academy's enrollment will certainly be much worse than before, but that's not even the worst part. What's worse is that Shrek still can't guarantee a win in the next Continental High-Level Soul Master Tournament.
Because Su Yun is the captain of the reserve team, but he already has strength that surpasses that of the regular members of the Shrek Academy. Who knows how strong he will be in five years?
However, Shrek Academy can no longer afford to lose, so discussing how to defeat Su Yun has become the most important thing for Shrek.
At Mu En's command, Yan Shaozhe stood up and began to speak about Su Yun.
"Teacher, Su Yun, the captain of the reserve team at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, looks only eleven or twelve years old, but his strength has already reached a level close to Lexuan's."
Upon hearing this, the elders of Shrek Academy couldn't help but gasp.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"It's absolutely impossible for an eleven or twelve-year-old child to possess the combat strength of a typical Seven-Ring Soul Sage!"
An old man roared in disbelief.
" Elder Gong, I also hope this is impossible, but he first defeated Lexuan when she was in a weakened state, and then defeated Qiangu Liefeng Feng Tianyang with his own strength. Those two are both elites of the Shrek Academy."
" Feng Tianyang might be a little lacking, but Qiangu Liefeng's strength is definitely not weaker than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor. He defeated Lexuan, who was in a weakened state, before defeating the other two. The sustained output of his abilities makes it absolutely true that his strength is close to that of Lexuan."
Yan Shaozhe's words silenced the elders of Shrek Academy.
After an unknown amount of time, an elder from the Shrek Academy finally spoke, "At twelve years old, defeating a weakened Lexuan along with two Shrek Academy means his Soul Power is no less than Level 50. Level 50 at twelve years old—even Mu En couldn't achieve that back then."
"It's drugs! Those people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy are definitely on drugs! Using drugs and Soul Tool, those people are shameless!"
"This isn't the time to talk about that. The important thing is what to do with the student. We've already lost one Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament; we absolutely cannot afford to lose the next one."
"If we lose another match, can Shrek Academy still maintain its position as the number one Soul Master Academy on the entire continent?"
The Shrek Academy members chatted amongst themselves for a long time before Mu En finally spoke. " Yan Shaozhe, do you think that reserve team captain from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy can recruit Shrek?"
Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment. "Teacher, I can't guarantee that Su Yun comes from the Su Clan. The Su Clan was originally a noble family of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but they were forced to flee to the Sun Moon Empire because they didn't choose the right side thousands of years ago."
"But now that the Su Clan has been established in the Sun Moon Empire for more than a year or two, it's hard to say whether they can see me as someone who originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms."
"Let's try to win them over. No matter what we offer, as long as the Su Clan can return to their original allegiance to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and as long as Su Yun can Shrek, we will spare no effort."
"There are still five years left. In the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament five years from now, I hope to see Su Yun standing on the Shrek Academy's side. If not..."
A cold glint flashed in Mu En's eyes. He usually appeared gentle, but that was only towards the people of the Shrek Academy. The fact that he could beat up Zhang Peng and Long Xiaoyao without saying a word showed that Mu En was never known for his good temper.
His current gentleness is simply because he's old and a bit too frail to move around much.
"Then we can only try to kill him at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament."
Upon hearing this, many of the Sea God Pavilion Elder were startled.
" Mu En, do you mean...?"
" Shrek Academy cannot afford to lose again. Shrek must win the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. But you can probably imagine what Su Yun's strength will be in five years. Relying on our students alone is probably not enough to win."
"Therefore, I called you here to discuss, rather than how to deal with him in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, it's more about deciding which of you will disguise yourself as a student and kill him."
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion couldn't help but swallow hard.
" Mu En, it can't be that bad, he's just a student."
"What do you know? When I was traveling in the Sun Moon Empire, I personally witnessed a noble family send Titled Douluo to deal with their opponent, but after several outsourcing attempts, the one who actually did the work ended up being a Soul Saint."
" Shrek must never make the same mistake again. Therefore, it's fine if Su Yun is one of Shrek's members in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament five years from now. But if he isn't, then he will have to face a Titled Douluo."
