Chapter 332 Shrek's Innovation; First Encounter with Ye Guyi
All the elders tensed up and looked at Song Yunzhi, who was sitting in the second seat.
However, the usually hot-tempered Elder Song was unusually well-behaved at this moment, sitting quietly in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.
Even Elder Mu is gone, what can we expect her to do?
The future belongs to the young, not to them; some things are beyond our control, even if we want to stop them…
Meanwhile, Elder Zhuang and Elder Lin, who were seated closer to the front, were either drinking tea or lost in thought.
"Elders, Shrek Academy has long suffered from deep-seated problems; it's time for a change." Su Wen looked around and spoke calmly. He had held back these words for over a decade, and finally, he was able to say them at the Sea God Pavilion meeting.
"Master, you can just say it directly. Don't put pressure on us old folks. We're all getting on in years and our hearts can't take it," an elder said with a wry smile.
"First, the academy will no longer require a letter of recommendation from the city lord to admit new students. Furthermore, starting today, following the example of the Spirit Hall, we will establish strongholds in various towns and cities, and conduct annual tours to help commoners awaken their spirits for free." Su Wen nodded, no longer keeping them in suspense.
"What?!"
"..."
The elders were in an uproar.
Only Yan Shaozhe looked pleased. He had discussed this matter with Su Wen before, but just a few years ago, this child was only a Soul Venerable...
"Sect Master, shouldn't we wait for Elder Mu to discuss this further...?"
"Yes, this is rather abrupt."
"Isn't this imitating the Spirit Hall? Shrek Academy inherits the fortune of the continent. Our ancestors went through great lengths to expel them, and now they're running rampant. What's the difference between us and the Spirit Hall?!" A hot-tempered elder slammed his fist on the table and pointed at Su Wen, asking sharply.
"Hehe..." Su Wen curled the corners of his mouth.
It jumped out on its own.
Don't blame him for being ruthless.
"What's wrong with being on par with the Spirit Hall? You don't actually think Shrek Academy is some benevolent force on the continent, do you?" Su Wen stared at him, his expression slowly turning indifferent. "If you ask me, it's rotten to the core. What makes Shrek Academy think it can compare to the Spirit Hall?"
"Whether it was then or now."
"..."
"You dare..." The elder was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Su Wen to go all out right away, even overturning the zzzq that was exclusive to Shrek Academy.
"We are not backed by family forces; our foundation lies in the 'individual.' The word 'academy' itself must be distinguished from terms like 'sect' or 'empire.' The Spirit Hall knows where their foundation comes from, so from beginning to end, they have been on the right path."
"But we are the ultimate victors!" the elder roared.
"Without divine intervention, how could Shrek Academy possibly win?" Su Wen said calmly.
"..."
"I refuse to accept this!" The old man stiffened his neck and sneered, "If you want to do this, start with me first..."
"Pfft~"
But before he could finish speaking, his body flew backward off the seat, and the golden ancient wood automatically opened a window, throwing him out of its body.
The old man's face turned pale instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before crashing into the trees.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Su Wen chuckled.
"Xuanji".
"Keep playing along with Elder Chen until he agrees..."
"Roar~!!"
A terrifying, muffled growl echoed from outside the golden wooden house.
Then came a colossal, monstrous beast that blotted out the sky, grinding the white-bearded old man's body against the ground, utterly crushing him without any chance of fighting back.
Even though Elder Chen tried his best, the level 94 Title Douluo was as powerless as a toy.
This scene left the assembled elders deeply moved.
This terrifying momentum... is probably comparable to Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest. Su Wen's growth has likely far exceeded their comprehension.
Old Zhuang sighed softly and shook his head.
Why did you provoke him?
Wouldn't it be better to live a peaceful life until retirement?
Moreover, Su Wen is not unreasonable. Everyone present is shrewd and can naturally distinguish the pros and cons. Those who oppose him are simply concerned with their stance. That Elder Chen is only involved with a reclusive family...
The struggle for power has always been brutal.
Especially when it involves core interests.
Su Wen's swift and decisive approach was indeed somewhat rash, but he quite admired it, after all, he too came from a commoner background...
"I have no objection," Old Lin said thoughtfully.
"Neither do I," Old Zhuang echoed.
Old Song sighed. She was a thorough conservative and naturally did not support Su Wen's reforms, but under the latter's tough and invincible power, she had no choice but to submit.
"I...I agree too..."
Old Chen, covered in blood and barely alive, raised his hand as Xuanji threw him back through the window.
"Since everyone agrees, let's get started."
Su Wen spoke with a smile.
"Secondly, support the front lines..."
……
Sea God Pavilion.
Su Wen, clad in a snow-white robe, surveyed the entire Poseidon Island with his handsome face; this was only the first step.
Shrek Academy's position is actually quite awkward. The fact that it was razed to the ground by the other two major powers ten thousand years later shows that Shrek's unique identity has always been a thorn in the side of the other major powers.
The reason we are all in a good mood now is because a powerful external enemy has forced many forces on the original continent to "unite" together.
Thousands of years ago, Shrek Academy rallied and defeated the Sun Moon Empire, which made it the "savior" among many imperial powers.
But once the external forces are gone, what awaits Shrek is destruction.
"Either change your identity, like the Spirit Hall of the past, and become the true master of the continent, instead of being the seemingly neutral but actually annoying meddler you are now."
Su Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Master, the Temple of the Holy Angels requests an audience..." Nana's figure appeared behind him.
"A holy angel?"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment.
"Upon learning of the Sun Moon Empire's northward advance, its Palace Master, Qian Lingyun, personally led several titled experts south to defend against the enemy. They passed by Shrek Academy and intended to discuss their offensive with you," Nana explained.
"I see."
conference hall.
"I've long admired your reputation, Pavilion Master, and it's an honor to meet you today..."
Upon meeting, the kind-looking old man with the white beard showered him with praise, and then inquired about the troops Shrek Academy had decided to send as support.
"Just me alone," Su Wen said thoughtfully.
"..."
Qian Lingyun's lips twitched violently, and he stood there awkwardly.
Then, cautiously, he asked, "I heard that Elder Mu has recovered from his injuries. Isn't he going to take action himself?"
"No." Su Wen shook his head.
"What about Xuanzi? He didn't make a move either?" Qian Lingyun asked, unwilling to give up.
"I'm not going."
Qian Lingyun said it was fine if she didn't go, but her disappointment was practically overflowing.
Su Wen found it amusing.
Clearly, this is a sincere invitation for Shrek Academy to join forces against the Spirit Hall. The two sides are mortal enemies, and they would never let go of such a rare opportunity for revenge.
Only a very few people, such as Ye Guyi, knew his true strength, since most of those who had actually witnessed his power were dead...
His attention, however, remained focused on the obedient and gentle Ye Guyi beside him.
Saintess of the Holy Angels.
Her demeanor and actions exuded an elegant and noble air of being pampered and spoiled...
It seems that Ye Guyi is living a very comfortable life after the world line was modified.
Seeing Su Wen cast a glance at her, the girl bowed slightly, her manners graceful and natural.
In addition, she carries a holy aura, which is quite similar to Qian Renxue from ten thousand years ago.
Oh, wait a minute!
Su Wen was stunned for a moment.
It seems Qian Renxue has already won the revival match, right?!
hiss……
Su Wen felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by a pair of eyes. Although this person had been resurrected, how to appease him was still a problem. He couldn't continue to be Uncle Su, could he?
Oh well, once the relationship is nurtured, repairing it is only a matter of time.
He is, after all, a first-level deity, and can be of great help in critical moments.
"Sect Master Su, time is of the essence. Those guys from the Spirit Hall have probably already infiltrated with the Evil Monarch Spirit Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire. If we wait any longer, they might be at our doorstep," Qian Lingyun warned.
"it is good."
……
Star Luo Empire.
Province of Clis.
The war engulfed the southern part of the province. Even though the Duke led his self-defense forces to try their best to stop them, the enemy forcefully broke through their defenses. The Soul Master Corps was reaping the rewards in front, the Spirit Hall experts were providing support, and the Holy Spirit Cult was sneaking around in the back, growing stronger by consuming human flesh and blood.
After all, the power of death had already been perfected and repaired, and the evil soul masters who originally relied on devouring souls had already been tricked and killed in the Sun and Moon Empire.
"A bunch of filthy insects!" Qian Lingyun looked at the devastation, his eyes filled with anger. The holy angels, with their compassion for the earth, naturally could not bear to see this.
Especially the bodies of soldiers whose blood and energy were drained and turned into dried-up human bodies.
"Holy praise!"
He roared.
A dazzling light shone down.
He was healing the Duke's remaining troops, while hundreds of figures behind him followed his powerful attack, charging downwards to meet the challenge.
Ye Guyi's performance was particularly outstanding.
The level 73 Soul Saint, the Two-Winged Angel, fought swiftly and powerfully, like a sharp sword of light, piercing deep into the Soul Guidance Legion, weaving back and forth like a dragon to slay its enemies.
"Not bad." Su Wen nodded slightly.
Compared to Ye Guyi in the original timeline, the girl's talent and potential have been fully unleashed. At eighteen, she is a Soul Saint, undoubtedly a top-tier genius, reaching the pinnacle of her abilities...
Following closely behind Qian Lingyun were some hidden sects within the Star Luo Empire. This battle affected the entire continent, and no one could escape it.
As for Tianhun, he was too busy dealing with another Beast Soul Mentor Group within his own territory to attend to his own problems.
"ah!!!"
The screams were incessant.
Especially the evil spirit masters, who were already severely weakened after Qian Lingyun unleashed his powerful attack, which covered a wide area, were then subjected to a frenzied slaughter by the Holy Angel members. A middle-aged man in a black robe, with scarlet markings around his eyes, leading the Holy Spirit Cult, roared, "Joint defensive formation! Quick! We can't hold on much longer!"
"Damn good-for-nothing..."
The leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Group, a burly, dignified middle-aged man, coldly uttered a sentence.
But since they were his own "teammates," Wang Yiheng quickly commanded the entire regiment, with over four hundred elite troops launching a coordinated defense.
"Buzz..."
With a buzzing sound.
An invisible barrier kept out all attacks from the original continent, including those from the Holy Angels.
"Damn it!"
Qian Lingyun's pupils suddenly contracted.
Clearly, no one expected that the collaboration between the Sun and Moon Empires and the "upgraded" defense would actually be completed.
"this……"
"Should we back out?" A sect leader with eight-ring Soul Douluo gritted his teeth and looked worriedly at the two people beside him.
Qian Lingyun and Su Wen.
Although the latter is a junior, he is now the head of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy. His strength has never been revealed, but it is presumably comparable to that of a titled person, which is due to his status.
And the former goes without saying.
The strongest being present was a level 98 Super Douluo.
These two were naturally the core of the entire event.
"Let's retreat..." (I'll take over.)
Qian Lingyun's eyes were fierce as he spoke with difficulty.
But then Su Wendao was heard.
"What?!"
The former looked bewildered.
"Leave it to me."
Su Wen smiled.
The combined defensive soul tool, consisting of an entire Beast Soul Master Corps and nearly a hundred elite Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall, was enough to force back a level 98 Super Douluo.
As expected of the Sun and Moon Empire.
This linked defensive soul-guided formation was even stronger than he had anticipated.
However, he also plans to try it out himself...
Just how much force does it have?
"Sigh..." Qian Lingyun was bewildered, but still wanted to offer some advice.
But the next moment.
Su Wen's figure appeared in front of the massive, interconnected defensive soul-guided array.
I reached out and gently stroked the transparent film with my palm.
It looks light and flimsy, as if it would break with a breath, but it is actually incredibly tough.
I have a sense of proportion.
He slowly moved his arm back, so that his fingertips lightly touched the thin membrane, gathered his strength, and then clenched his fist forward with a bang.
At the same time, the golden left arm was activated.
The values belonging to Xuanji were absolutely explosive.
An inch of palm.
A seemingly ordinary strike.
But it unleashed a terrifying storm.
"Click!"
"Click!"
Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the transparent energy shield.
Countless Sun Moon Empire Soul Masters hiding behind the coordinated defense suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, their bodies flying backward as if struck by a heavy hammer.
The interconnected formations shattered layer by layer.
It was like a machine in operation, emitting a mournful cry.
"This is……"
Qian Lingyun's eyes widened.
"What the hell?!"
