The academy expands enrollment

"If these students develop exceptional talent later in the future, we will then admit them into the inner academy."

"But whether it's the inner or outer courtyard, we need to provide them with certain cultivation resources."

Shrek's inner courtyard can continue to admit students according to the original standards.

However, the outer academy doesn't set any entry requirements; any commoner Soul Master can join.

"That's a good idea. Let's divide it into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard." Flender nodded in agreement.

At worst, he can mainly be in charge of the inner courtyard's affairs in the future.

Treat the outer academy like any other Soul Master Academy, just provide it with sufficient resources.

This can be considered as giving ordinary Soul Master a way out.

"I have no objection," Dugu Bo agreed.

He doesn't usually teach classes; he mainly holds the title of a Shrek Academy teacher.

"When will we start recruiting students, and how many will we recruit for the first time?" Li Yusong, who was in charge of the college's admissions, asked again.

Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, "No rush. We'll start recruiting after the Spirit Hall completes the Martial Soul Awakening."

Every year, the Spirit Hall provides free Martial Soul Awakening to ordinary Soul Master on the continent before issuing them Soul Master certificates.

When they recruit students, they skip the step of awakening Martial Soul.

This is the Spirit Hall's job; their academy shouldn't try to take it from them.

"To be honest, the Spirit Hall does a really good job in this respect," Flender remarked.

For impoverished people, the Spirit Hall's act of offering free awakening services is very likely to win their favor.

"Although we've done a lot behind the scenes over the years, we still haven't done as much as the Spirit Hall."

The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony requires a significant amount of resources, and few factions are willing to perform it for free.

Over the years, the organization has given many civilians the ability to awaken their Martial Soul, but the quantity is indeed less than the number of Martial Soul they can obtain.

"From now on, we must also put our heart into this aspect; the people are the foundation of our organization," Chu Feng said softly.

He didn't want to unify the continent and end up making life worse for ordinary Soul Master than it was during the Spirit Hall's rule.

"Yes." The others nodded in agreement.

Shrek Academy, in the end, is still a school for ordinary people.

Chu Feng had long ago removed the requirement to pay a sufficient amount of Gold Soul Coin to enter the academy.

"When recruiting students, we can look beyond just their cultivation talent, Innate Soul Power, or Martial Soul; we also need to see if they excel in other areas."

"Soul Guidance Technology, Battle Armor crafting, Contract Soul Ring, Soul Master Theory— these are all covered."

"We can't just focus on combat; we need to supplement other aspects and develop in all directions," Chu Feng suggested.

These things need to have their tone set from the very beginning.

He didn't want Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Technology to be inferior to that of the Sun Moon Empire thousands of years later.

They only produce Soul Master who know how to fight.

Chu Feng firmly believes that science and technology will always be the primary productive force.

He'll have to try what it's like to bombard a god someday.

"That's fine, I can also teach you about poisons," Dugu Bo interjected.

He did hope to pass on his skills, but his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, would eventually marry, and his poison skills and knowledge might be lost, which would be a real pity.

The Shrek Seven Devils now each have their own lineage, inheriting the Contract Soul Ring Technique and Martial Dao taught by Chu Feng.

His skills are actually not suitable for being passed on.

If he takes a liking to any of the new students, he wouldn't mind taking them on as apprentices.

"That's great, a hundred flowers blooming!" Chu Feng laughed.

"Alright, that's how the academy will arrange things from now on. I'll compile a complete list of tasks and then assign them to everyone." Flender said, clapping his hands with a smile on his face. He could already see a bright future for the academy.

"Now that the academy's affairs are settled, let's talk about the organization." Chu Feng gestured for everyone not to get up and leave yet.

Upon hearing the organization's plans, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "Oh, but what kind of action is required? Do I need to intervene?"

He's so bored! Ever since his illness was cured, he's really been itching for a good fight.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how strong he is now.

"Even if we had you, we wouldn't need you. All the powers on the continent are focused on you. If you dare to make a move, the Spirit Hall will be knocking on our door the very next day." Chu Feng rolled his eyes at Dugu Bo.

He somewhat regretted bringing Dugu Bo over so early, which now made him have to consider whether his actions would arouse suspicion.

We can forget about matters concerning the academy, but Dugu Bo absolutely cannot be involved in matters concerning the organization right now.

"Oh dear, my body is getting worn out from all this idleness," Dugu Bo sighed.

"If Your Majesty has nothing to do, you could visit the royal family," Flender suggested with a mischievous grin.

The Balak Kingdom has a history of secretly sabotaging Shrek Academy.

Previously, I was worried about exposing the organization's activities, so I didn't retaliate.

Now that the academy has officially appointed Titled Douluo, they certainly can't stand that kind of rudeness.

Let Dugu Bo go and reason with the Balak Kingdom.

"That's a good idea, I like it." Dugu Bo readily agreed; this was a great opportunity to show off.

This will allow the world to once again witness the power and prowess of Dugu Bo.

"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic and continue talking about the organization." Chu Feng steered the conversation back on track. "The organization has already trained quite a few Soul Saint, and I plan to have them set up bases in other parts of the continent."

He planned to use the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside to swallow the entire continent.

Over the years, through the Contract Soul Ring system and the injection of massive resources, the organization has cultivated many Soul Saint.

These people are powerful enough to establish strongholds and build up influence in some remote areas of the mainland.

"When the organization officially goes to war later, these strongholds will attack together, catching others completely off guard."

"These Soul Saint can also recruit quite a few people for us."

The Soul Saint is considered a mid-to-high-level combatant, which can attract many people.

"That's a good idea, Old Zhao, do you want to come along?" Flender teased Zhao Wuji.

Over the years, Zhao Wuji's "status" in the academy has become increasingly lower, and he is rarely needed to do any work.

Chu Feng is in charge of training, Dugu Bo is in charge of high-level combat power, Li Yusong is in charge of student recruitment, and he is in charge of the daily work of the management academy.

Zhao Wuji, on the contrary, became the most idle person, spending his days simply lifting weights in the training room.

If things continue like this, Zhao Wuji's head will probably become pointy before long.

"No, my muscles have become a bit loose lately, I need to train more," Zhao Wuji shook his head and refused.

The tasks that the organization needs to carry out are not easy or simple.

Establishing footholds in other places was a daunting task for his mind.

He should just stay at the academy and work out.
