Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 24 Big blood change
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became solemn. Moon said, "Okay, tell me what you think."

Seeing that no one spoke, Xuan Zi said, "Then let me start by saying that this little kid is a little speechless. Shrek's eternal glory is not something a little kid like him can understand. But it doesn't matter. He can just study in the academy for a while in the future."

After saying that, Xuan Zi took a sip of wine, turned to look at Moon, and then saw Moon's somewhat scary eyes.

The wine he had just drunk immediately turned into cold sweat, "Mu... Mu Lao, what's wrong?"

Moon's eyes were a little strange, "Xuan Zi, do you really think so?"

"Yes."

"Then I understand." Then Moon looked at the other elders, "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"

Elder Lin and Elder Song looked at each other and shook their heads.

Mr. Zhuang cleared his throat and said, "Then I'll say a few words."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised. Old Zhuang rarely spoke on weekdays and was considered the least noticeable of the elders in the Sea God Pavilion. He was busy tending to the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden every day. He came to the Sea God Pavilion just to take up a seat and listen quietly. But today he actually took the initiative to speak.

"Xiao Zhuang, just tell me what you think."

"Okay, I think what Elder Xuan said was a bit too much. Lin Yi is just a kid. It's already great that he can talk freely in front of us. Besides, children speak without restraint. There's no need to make a big deal out of a few words from a kid. As for the soul guide, if he wants to learn, let him learn."

"Well, how do you say it? Every support-type soul master has a heart of a strong attack-type, right?"

"Kid, if you show him the possibility that support classes can also be combat-capable, he'll definitely be interested. Just learn it. Geniuses can't be judged by common sense. What if he can become both?"

"Besides, even if it doesn't work out, we still have Old Mu here. It won't just delay the work for a few years. With old bones like us here, why would we want to burden a kid? It's okay!"

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan was suddenly excited and Ouyang Xi also showed gratitude.

What Mr. Zhuang meant by his previous words was that Lin Yi was just a child, there was nothing to worry about, he could learn whatever he wanted to learn and he would not stop him. His words were full of excuses.

Mr. Zhuang and Lin Yi had only met once and had no close relationship. He said these words just for Lin Qingxuan's sake and out of love for him. How could Lin Qingxuan not be moved?

After listening to this, Moon's expression remained unchanged. He simply asked calmly, "Anything else you want to say?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Moon said, "Since no one has said anything, then I will say it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Moon's face immediately showed anger, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Shrek is truly rotten to the core!"

Moon's words were indeed serious.

With just one sentence, everyone's faces changed drastically, and they didn't know why Moon said that.

"Xuan Zi, you're still holding a grudge against a kid for saying a few words. These two hundred years of your life have truly not been in vain!"

Xuanzi was a little confused. No one had scolded him like this for many years, and in front of everyone, without giving him any face at all.

Moon continued to curse, "People are questioning you right in your face, and you're still talking about Shrek's Thousand Years of Glory. What is Shrek's Thousand Years of Glory? Are you, Xuanzi, a Super Douluo? Bullshit!"

"Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory is based on the academy's teaching ability and the outstanding students it has produced! Now someone asks you, your academy is the best on the continent, but why isn't the Soul Guidance Department number one? How would you answer? The Soul Guidance Department is not part of Shrek Academy?!"

Xuan Zi lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word. His teacher was Moon En's senior brother. In terms of seniority, Moon En was Xuan Zi's uncle, but his teacher actually didn't teach him much. Most of his skills were taught by Moon En. To him, Moon En was like a teacher and a brother. He dared not disobey Moon En's words.

"Everyone, remember this: Shrek is first and foremost an academy. Educating students is our primary concern. We can influence students' choices, but we cannot interfere. We must respect their wishes."

"Xuan Zi, from today on, you must give up your position as deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group. Xiao Song will take over. I will temporarily keep the position of Elder Su for you. From today on, you are not allowed to set foot outside of Sea God Island. The ban will be lifted when you figure it out, break through your limits, or when I die."

Xuanzi nodded obediently.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Moon to be so cruel. He directly removed Xuanzi from his position and put him under house arrest.

but why?
Everyone was confused.

But Moon obviously had no intention of explaining, and he was not done with his anger yet!

"Shaozhe."

Yan Shaozhe quickly stood up and saluted.

"Shaozhe, you are my eldest disciple, the one with the best talent, and the one I value the most."

Yan Shaozhe smiled when he heard this and said, "It's all thanks to the teacher's cultivation."

But the next moment, "So this is how you repay my cultivation?!"

Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he had done wrong to make the teacher so angry.

"I have to say that you have done a good job in serving as the dean of the Martial Soul Department over the years you have been in office. The Martial Soul Department has indeed developed well during your tenure."

Yan Shaozhe was stunned by Moon En's praise and scolding. What did the teacher want to say?
"But what about the Soul Guidance Department? Do you think the Soul Guidance Department has a place in your eyes? You have tried so hard to suppress the Soul Guidance Department. Why? Are you afraid that the Soul Guidance Department will take away your power as Dean Yan?" These words were a bit hurtful. Yan Shaozhe took a step back and knelt down in front of Moon.

"Teacher, I wouldn't say Shaozhe has been selfless during his time as the dean of the Martial Spirit Department, but I have absolutely no desire for power. Please understand!"

Moon En sighed, "Shao Zhe, you're good in every way, except for your character. I originally thought that after I succeed you, you would take over the position of Sea God Pavilion Master. However, you only have your eyes on the Martial Soul Department. I'm afraid that if you take the position of Pavilion Master, the Soul Guidance Department will be completely finished."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe burst into tears and couldn't help but bang his head on the ground, "I feel so ashamed of my teacher's cultivation."

"Shao Zhe, since you broke through to level ninety-five, your soul power hasn't improved in decades, right? I originally thought it was because the martial soul department was busy with so many things that your soul power training fell behind, but today, when Lin Yi said that Guangming didn't like you, I finally understood."

"Light means vastness. Your character has always lacked a sense of grandeur. The practice of a Super Douluo is to deeply explore the essence of the martial soul and comprehend oneself. However, you have not been able to understand the true meaning of light, so your soul power is naturally unable to break through."

Seeing Yan Shaozhe thoughtful, Moon En said, "Shaozhe, from today on, you will be in seclusion in the Sea God Pavilion. I will give you ten years. I hope you can comprehend the true meaning of light. As for the position of Dean of the Martial Soul Department, you should not take it for now."

"is teacher."

"Shaozhe, I hope you can understand your teacher's expectations of you and don't let these ten years go to waste."

"Yes, teacher, Shaozhe will never let you down. I will work hard for Shrek, for you, and for myself."

Moon nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you really understand."

"Lin'er," Moon still hasn't finished. It seems that he is really determined to see it through to the end.

Xian Lin'er stood up and saluted obediently.

Moon En sighed slightly, "Lin'er, you and Shaozhe are both lacking in character. He's not generous enough, and you're too sentimental."

"You have a strong character. If you were born a man, your achievements would surely surpass Shaozhe, and your teacher would be able to confidently give you more responsibilities. But as a woman, your character flaws will be magnified, and you will not be able to focus on improving yourself, and you will be stuck at the Super Douluo level, unable to break through."

"You too, please give up the position of Dean of the Soul Guidance Department. Take a break and think about it carefully."

"Teacher, how should I go?"

Moon smiled slightly. "Your feet are on your body, and the road is under your feet. Whether to walk, how to walk, where to walk, and which road to take are all decided by you."

Xian Lin'er's eyes were filled with confusion. She bowed and sat back in her original seat.

"Mei'er."

"teacher."

"I have nothing to say to your teacher. You have always done a great job. You will take over the position of Dean of the Martial Spirit Department. I only have one thing to say: self-examination and self-correction!"

Cai Meier said seriously: "Yes, teacher, Meier understands."

Moon nodded slightly, then said, "Duoduo."

"teacher."

"You will take over as Dean of the Soul Guidance Department. You and Lin'er did a good job before, but it's not enough. The academy will increase its investment in the Soul Guidance Department. You must develop the Soul Guidance Department as quickly as possible. I can accept that the Soul Guidance Department is weaker than Mingde Hall, but it can't be much weaker. At the very least, I can't let a little kid point at my nose and scold me why the Soul Guidance Department is so poor when it's clearly the number one academy on the continent!"

"Yes, teacher, I will do my best to develop the Soul Guidance Department."

Moon smiled and nodded, "Teacher believes you can do it."

Finally, Moon En looked at Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi, "Qingxuan, Xi girl."

"Mr. Mu."

"What happened back then was the fault of the academy. On behalf of the academy, I apologize to you."

Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xilian said they didn't dare.

Moon En said: "Fortunately, Qingxuan's injuries have finally recovered. I believe that both his soul power and soul master level will soon break through. So, I want to ask you, are you still willing to return to Shrek Academy?"

Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.

But he had come to Shrek Academy to study since he was young, and now his son is also in Shrek Academy, so it doesn’t really make any difference whether they go back or not.

Lin Qingxuan said, "Mr. Mu, Ah Xi and I are both orphans. We came to the academy when we were young. The academy is our home, and we are willing to go home."

"Okay, okay." Moon smiled with satisfaction, and the other elders looked at the couple with a little more intimacy in their eyes.

Moon said, "It's good that you're willing to come back. I know you prefer a relaxed and peaceful life, but the academy is in need of people, so I'm afraid I'll have to add some burdens to you."

"Xi girl, you will take over as the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department. Qingxuan, you will go to the Soul Guidance Department. Once you break through to the eighth-level Soul Guidance Master, the position of Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department will be yours!"
