Xian Lin'er said, "Junior Brother, it's like this. Pavilion Master Yan Shaozhe just sent someone to inform us that Sea God Pavilion Meeting will be held later. When he couldn't find you in the Martial Soul Department, he sent someone to inform us, so we relayed the message."
Qian Chen then realized that Xian Lin'er and Qian Chen Qian Duoduo hadn't come specifically to see him. He then asked, "Senior brothers and sisters, do you know what the Sea God Pavilion Meeting is about?"
Xian Lin'er shook her head, while Qian Duoduo said, "Hey, what could possibly be wrong? We'll find out when we get there."
Qian Chen nodded and said, "That's true." He then tidied up his Soul Tool manufacturing laboratory and went to the Sea God Pavilion with Qian Duoduo and his wife.
On the way, Qian Duoduo saw that Qian Chen was still tidying up the Soul Tool manufacturing laboratory himself, so he asked, "Junior brother, now that your only assistant He Caitou, is dead, and you're Level 7 Soul Engineer now, you can definitely bring assistants. How about I give you a few assistants?"
Qian Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Qian."
The three of them soon arrived at the Sea God Pavilion. Since Qian Chen, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er Outer Court, they were the last to arrive.
Qian Chen sat down next to Zhang Lexuan, while Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er returned to their seats. At this time, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion had arrived: the Sea God Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er, the three veteran Elder Lin, Elder Song and Elder Zhuang, the couple Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er who were in charge of the Soul Tool Department, and the newly promoted elders Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan.
Yan Shaozhe, as the Sea God Pavilion Master, spoke first, saying, "The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to discuss a solution to the huge negative impact caused by not winning the Soul Master Tournament."
In almost every Soul Master Tournament, the Martial Soul Department dominates. This time, He Caitou, the only Soul Master Tournament Soul Tool Department student participating in the Soul Master Tournament, died before even reaching Star Luo City host city. The Soul Master Tournament is almost completely irrelevant to the Soul Tool Department.
Qian Duoduo casually replied, "Didn't we already handle it publicly? We said that Shrek Academy suffered heavy losses due to incorrect intelligence during the extermination of Evil Soul Master, and we even punished Liang Fei, the supervisor in charge of intelligence."
Hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Yan Shaozhe said, "Dealing with Liang Fei is for the families of the dead and injured students, and to convey to the outside world our Shrek Academy's determination to eradicate Evil Soul Master. However, this defeat in the Soul Master Tournament has shaken Shrek Academy's reputation for effective teaching in the eyes of the outside world."
Apart from Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, everyone present also felt that it affected the honor of the Shrek Academy, and they all nodded in agreement, agreeing with Yan Shaozhe's words.
"So how do you want to make it up to me?" Xian Lin'er asked.
Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment and said, "Then let's find someone to take responsibility for this."
Upon hearing that Yan Shaozhe wanted someone to take the blame, Zhang Lexuan didn't hesitate and said directly, " Pavilion Master Yan, you want Xuan Zi to be held responsible for this?"
As soon as Zhang Lexuan spoke, the entire Sea God Pavilion fell silent. Everyone knew that the real reason for the defeat in this Soul Master Tournament was indeed Xuan Zi's mistake, which resulted in only two members remaining in the main team, and their strength being overtaken by the opposing academy.
The administrators of the Shrek Academy Shrek Academy were aware of this, but Xuan Zi, as the only Level 98 Super Douluo and the strongest fighter in the academy, was still not allowed to admit his mistakes or take responsibility, even though he had been relieved of all his duties.
If Xuan Zi really leaves Shrek Academy in a fit of anger, Shrek Academy will become even weaker.
Since they dared not push Xuan Zi too far, only Qian Chen, the leader of the Shrek Team, and Wang Yan, the tactical instructor, remained.
After a moment of silence within the Sea God Pavilion, Cai Mei'er finally spoke, "Although Junior Brother Qian Chen is the team leader, his primary responsibility is ultimately the safety of the Shrek Team members. The team's tactics in the Soul Fighting Arena are the key. I believe that tactical instructor Wang Yan bears a great deal of responsibility this time."
Hearing that Wang Yan would be used as a scapegoat, Zhang Lexuan felt very sad. Wang Yan Wang Yan a theoretical talent she discovered when she was the dean of the Martial Soul Department. His teaching and practical abilities were excellent.
Just then, Qian Chen's voice echoed in Zhang Lexuan's mind. Qian Chen activated the Head Soul Bone skill of his 400,000-year-old Demonic Eye Devil Tree, the Spiritual Web, and established Divine Power communication with Zhang Lexuan.
" Lexuan, it looks like someone has to take the blame today. Even if you argue with them, if Wang Yan doesn't take the blame, another innocent person will," Qian Chen explained in the Spiritual Web.
Upon hearing Qian Chen's words, Zhang Lexuan instantly understood and remained calm, observing the discussion within the Sea God Pavilion.
Wang Yan quickly became known as a useless person who only had theory but no practical experience. Wang Yan was the main person in charge of this Soul Master Tournament.
Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Yan Shaozhe cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone feels that Teacher Wang Yan's teaching quality is mediocre and he doesn't have any real talent, which led to the defeat in this Soul Master Tournament, what do you all think we should do?"
At this moment, Elder Lin spoke up tentatively, saying, "Why not follow the same approach as Liang Fei last time? Remove him from his position as Shrek teacher and expel him from the Shrek Academy."
Zhang Lexuan originally thought Wang Yan was just accepting criticism, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Shrek Academy's actions in upholding the so-called Shrek honor once again re-examined her moral bottom line.
Soon, Wang Yan's final decision came out. As the tactical instructor of the Shrek Academy Team, Wang Yan failed to immediately determine that the intelligence was incorrect when faced with the Evil Soul Master's misinformation, and thus dissuaded the team from taking action.
During the Soul Master Competition, his limited talent and mediocre performance made him the main person responsible for Shrek Academy's failure to win the championship.
The academy ultimately punished Wang Yan by dismissing him from his teaching position at the Shrek Academy and permanently barring him from future employment.
When the Sea God Pavilion Meeting ended, Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen left the Sea God Pavilion, but Zhang Lexuan was still very depressed.
As Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen walked, Zhang Lexuan finally spoke up and asked, " Qian Chen, given how the academy is handling Wang Yan Wang Yan, why don't you choose to help him? Are you going to send Wang Yan to Watch Valley as well?"
Qian Chen shook his head and said, "No, Lexuan, I have no plans to send Wang Yan to our Watch Valley. I've basically read and memorized all the books in the libraries of the Shrek Academy's Inner Court and Outer Court. Wang Yan's little bit of Martial Soul knowledge is no longer of any use to us."
Qian Chen looked at Zhang Lexuan and said solemnly, "As for not helping Wang Yan, there's only one reason. Wang Yan is rather stubborn; he's too loyal to Shrek Academy. Almost all of Wang Yan's motivations for going with him to the Soul Master Tournament were to uphold Shrek Academy's honor."
After hearing Qian Chen's explanation, Zhang Lexuan fell silent, because she had once been a fervent defender of the Shrek Academy's honor.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's disappointed look, Qian Chen comforted her, "Alright, Lexuan, if you really want to help Wang Yan, the best solution is for us to quickly become stronger and take control of the Shrek Academy. Then, it'll just be an invitation to bring him back."
"I understand," Zhang Lexuan said, still feeling somewhat disappointed.
