Douluo: My Custom Achievement System
"As the number one academy on the continent, Shrek Academy should shoulder the responsibility of guiding and benefiting the Soul Master of the continent."
"I suggest establishing a Martial Soul Research Department at the Shrek Academy, led by Jiang Yi and Wang Yan, to gather Martial Soul Research from across the continent to study Martial Soul Theory Soul Master."
After speaking Xuan Zi, even he himself felt a little excited.
Although these were all drafts written for him by Wang Yan, he was, after all, a Soul Master was as traditional as could be.
From childhood to adulthood, his biggest concerns have been cultivation and food. His knowledge of Soul Beast comes from his long career of battles and cultivation.
Where did he come from to say such insightful things?
Xuan Zi's words silenced everyone present.
It wasn't because they agreed, but because they found the contrast too striking—when did Xuan Zi become so eloquent?
At this moment, Mu En broke the silence. "Xuan Zi has finished his suggestion. Discuss it, and then begin the vote."
The silence was broken, and the entire Sea God Pavilion suddenly became noisy, with everyone discussing the feasibility of this matter.
The establishment of a new department requires a lot of money and resources, and involves too many people and things; it is no small matter.
They also need to consider the benefits that studying Martial Soul Theory will bring them.
If they keep investing without any return, it's like throwing resources into a bottomless pit for the Shrek Academy.
The discussion ended quickly, Mu En spoke again, "Let's begin the vote."
Raise your hand if you agree.
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Zhuang raised his arm. Since he had promised Jiang Yi to help, he would naturally support him.
After a while, Elder Song, who was sitting in the front row, also raised his hand.
She was moved by what Xuan Zi had just said, and if it could truly benefit the Soul Master of the continent, she would support the establishment of this Martial Soul Research department.
Elder Song's raised hand prompted both Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo to raise theirs as well, since they were close friends and naturally wanted to stand together.
Apart from them, no one else raised their arms.
Lin Huiqun, Yan Shaozhe, and Cai Mei'er did not raise their hands.
Now, the result seems quite clear: including Xuan Zi, the vote is five to three.
However, since Mu En hasn't spoken yet, the situation remains uncertain.
Mu En's voice was tinged with laughter. "Yes, I also think Xuan Zi's suggestion is quite good."
With his words, the matter was settled, and both Xuan Zi and Elder Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let's settle on this. Xuan Zi, since you brought this up, you'll be in charge of this research department," Mu En continued to instruct.
Xuan Zi's face immediately fell; he had no desire to be a leader.
"Furthermore, Jiang Yi and Wang Yan will be appointed as chief researchers. Subsequent researcher recruitment will require their evaluation."
Speaking of this, Yan Shaozhe was displeased and quickly said, "Teacher, Jiang Yi is a genius at cultivating Martial Soul. If we let him be the chief researcher, I'm afraid it will delay his cultivation."
"A genius won't be affected by these things, and besides, it was his own idea, so why are you meddling?" Mu En asked with a faint smile.
Yan Shaozhe was speechless and could only sit back down in his seat.
"The funds and resources will each be contributed by the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department. Xuan Zi, you will personally oversee the process. That's settled then."
"Let's adjourn the meeting."
Chapter 109 The Martial Soul Research Institute is established, successfully changing the situation (4000 words)
The Sea God Pavilion Meeting ended, with Elder Zhuang wearing a smile, while Xuan Zi, the initiator, looked miserable.
As Lin Huiqun left the Sea God Pavilion, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Among the elders, she was the one who disliked the Martial Soul Theory the most.
After all, her granddaughter was turned from a genius into a cripple whose cultivation could not progress at all because of the so-called Martial Soul Theory.
However, she naturally wouldn't object to the decision made by Mu En himself, though she was in a somewhat bad mood.
She gave Xuan Zi a disapproving look, then turned and left.
Xuan Zi ignored him and walked over to Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, saying, "Yan Shaozhe, Duoduo, after you go back, prepare the funds and resources. I will let you know when we need them."
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, two notoriously stingy misers, could only obediently nod in agreement in front of Xuan Zi.
After finishing, Xuan Zi left Sea God Island.
Now that the land within the Shrek Academy has been allocated, the Martial Soul Research Institute needs to find a location outside the academy if it wants to establish itself.
At this moment, Elder Zhuang walked over to Qian Duoduo's side.
Qian Duoduo asked in confusion, "Elder Zhuang, is there something you need?"
Elder Zhuang asked with a smile, "Duoduo, do you want an apprentice?"
"Apprentice? Elder Zhuang, are you going to recommend an apprentice for me?" Qian Duoduo, somewhat surprised.
"That's right." Elder Zhuang nodded.
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Elder Zhuang recommended an apprentice to me, of course I'll accept it. I wonder what the conditions are?"
Elder Zhuang smiled mysteriously and said, "Come see me on Sunday, and you'll find out then."
After saying that, Elder Zhuang turned and left without saying anything more.
"That's strange, all mysterious. But the apprentice recommended by Elder Zhuang should be reliable. Let's go check him out on Sunday."
Qian Duoduo didn't think too much about it and left Sea God Island with Xian Lin'er.
Where would Qian Duoduo find out? Even Elder Zhuang had no idea. How could he possibly give him specific information about the person he was recommending?
At the Shrek Academy's Outer Court, Jiang Yi went to class as usual.
Today is Friday, and there's only one theory class taught by Wang Yan. I hadn't been in the classroom long when the bell rang.
Soon, hurried footsteps approached, and Wang Yan strode into the classroom, a smile he could hardly hide on his face.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Yi couldn't help but meet his gaze, and Wang Yan nodded vigorously.
"The matter is settled." Jiang Yi immediately understood and was also pleasantly surprised.
It's still exciting to be able to accomplish this in the Douluo Continent and at the Shrek Academy.
They have taken the most important step.
Because of his intense emotions, Wang Yan spoke faster, quickly finishing explaining all the necessary information.
"Alright, that's enough for this lesson. You can stay in the classroom and study for the rest of the time. Jiang Yi, come out with me."
Jiang Yi immediately got up and followed Wang Yan outside.
"Teacher Wang, it worked, right?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask to confirm.
Wang Yan nodded excitedly and said, "That's right, it's a success."
"The Sea God Pavilion Meeting has approved our proposal to build a Martial Soul Research Institute in Shrek City, with Elder Xuan Zi serving as its dean."
"You and I are the chief researchers at the research institute, responsible for studying Martial Soul Theory and evaluating newly joined researchers."
"That's great!" Jiang Yi couldn't help but say.
With the title of chief researcher, he has access to a wealth of resources to support his research.
Jiang Yi thought to himself, "I should write a letter to my teacher about this, and if possible, invite him to come and be a researcher as well."
"Professor Wang, when will the research institute be completed?" Jiang Yi asked.
Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "With Soul Master involved, it should be completed in less than half a month."
"I think we need to figure out how to recruit researchers first. Right now, this huge research institute only has the two of us."
Jiang Yi had a different opinion on this matter, shaking his head and saying, "There's no need to rush this."
"We will first refine the theoretical research on the diversified development path of Blue Silver Grass *."
"Once the paper is published, we can naturally make a name for ourselves, and then people will naturally come to submit papers."
Jiang Yi added, "After all, although Shrek is the number one academy on the continent, those who truly dedicate themselves to the study of Martial Soul Theory..."
"They don't seem to care about the title, and may even dislike it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan could only manage a wry smile. He had once met some people who were dedicated to theoretical research.
In fact, that's exactly their attitude.
In their view, Shrek Academy had the title of the number one academy, but its research on Martial Soul remained at the most rudimentary stage.
There was nothing for them to admire; what interested them most about the Shrek Academy was its library.
If we directly recruit researchers, it's quite possible that we won't be able to find those with the necessary skills.
On the contrary, some people who seek fame and fortune come to the research institute to waste their time.
"Okay, then we'll do as you say. We'll finish the theory first, and then we'll consider recruiting researchers." Wang Yan nodded in agreement.
The two then went to the office to discuss the design of the research institute and its organizational structure.
Dean Xuan Zi is definitely too lazy to think about these things, so it's just the two of them who have to figure them out.
After a full day of discussion, the two finally finalized an organizational structure.
Currently, the research institute has very few people, making it impossible to verify whether this architecture can enable the institute to operate reasonably.
However, no organization is formed overnight; it is through continuous improvement and correction based on mistakes that a stable structure is eventually formed.
Therefore, Jiang Yi and Wang Yan did not intend to waste too much time on this.
Their most pressing task now is to produce results, as the first shot in making a name for themselves.
That night, Jiang Yi finished his discussion with Wang Yan and returned to his dormitory.
He wrote down the details of the establishment of the Martial Soul Research Institute and planned to send the letter back to Spirit Mountain City the next day.
"I wonder, teacher, which important figure did you offend when you left Shrek Academy?"
"If this matter isn't resolved, the teacher definitely won't be able to return to the Shrek Academy. We need to find someone to ask about it."
Jiang Yi calculated in his mind that with his current connections, he should be able to resolve most of the troubles.
While waiting for the research institute to be completed, Jiang Yi diligently cultivated his skills, for strength was always the most important thing to him.
Now he can maintain a state of cultivation 24 hours a day, while doing most things.
There's absolutely no need to worry. He's only planning ahead because studying theory would interfere with his cultivation.
Sunday arrived quickly.
Huo Yuhao had arrived at the sixth-grade dormitory building quite early and was already waiting.
After being reminded by Jiang Yi, he never went to see Zhou Yi again.
Even though his Spiritual Detection had already met the requirements that Fan Yu had mentioned before.
He had no desire to have anything to do with his perverted female teacher.
Jiang Yi quickly came downstairs and asked with a faint smile, "How long have you been waiting?"
"No, actually I just arrived too," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Then come with me. I'll recommend this teacher to you; you'll definitely be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao gave a wry smile.
"As long as the teacher Brother Jiang recommends doesn't mind my performance, that's fine."
"Hehe, don't underestimate yourself. Your First Soul Skill is practically a divine skill for the Soul Tool Department."
Huo Yuhao followed Jiang Yi's footsteps and soon arrived at the Sea God Lake.
"Brother Jiang, where are we going?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking at the lake with some confusion.
Jiang Yi pointed to the opposite side and asked, "See that island over there? We're going there."
Huo Yuhao was extremely surprised. "Ah, but isn't that Sea God Island?"
Although he hadn't been at the Shrek Academy for long, he knew that Sea God Island was not a place that Outer Court students like them could set foot on at will.
Jiang Yi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, have you forgotten that I have connections?"
