Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 122: Xiao Hongchen: Wang Dong, Those Who Dare Not Cause Trouble Are Mediocre!
Mu En felt a little helpless. He thought that he should send these students to the inner courtyard as soon as possible.
According to the agreement between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, as long as certain conditions are met, the exchange students sent by both sides can enter the inner courtyard to study.
Of course, for the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, in a sense, their inner courtyard is Illustrious Virtue Hall.
However, the main difficulty at present was how to train the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy exchange students once they were inside the inner courtyard.
Because the nature of Shrek's inner courtyard is very special—virtually every student must complete numerous supervisory tasks before graduation.
However, the problem is that the exchange students are all promising seedlings from Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, especially Xiao Hongchen. With his strength, he could enter the inner courtyard to study. But he is the grandson of Jing Hongchen. How could such a person be allowed to take such risks?
Beibei is still at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy!
If Xiao Hongchen were to die during a supervisory task, the Shrek exchange students would surely suffer a poor reputation. Therefore, dangerous supervisory tasks must not be assigned to Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy exchange students, but only to Shrek students.
Then, what can the inner courtyard teach?
He can't let Qian Duoduo teach these students soul guidance devices, right? That would be a bit humiliating.
Although Shrek has an eighth-level soul engineer, there's still a gap between eighth-level soul engineers.
Judging by Illustrious Virtue Hall's standards, Shrek's eighth-level soul engineer might have to be downgraded to a seventh-level.
Thinking of this, Mu En felt a headache coming on. Honestly, for soul masters, the most attractive thing in Shrek's inner courtyard is the Golden Ancient Tree.
As long as the Golden Ancient Tree is used properly, it can greatly aid cultivation. But so far, the Golden Ancient Tree has never been opened to outsiders.
Furthermore, the people of Illustrious Virtue Hall would be wary of the teaching process involving Shrek's exchange students and teachers. They wouldn't teach them everything they know. Therefore, according to the principle of reciprocity, Shrek Academy naturally would not allow Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy exchange students to practice in the Golden Ancient Tree.
As for the exchange students learning about soul guidance devices, Mu En only has expectations for He Caitou as a student and Fan Yu as a teacher. Beibei's case is different—he doesn't need to excel immediately but simply needs to improve his understanding of soul guidance devices. Since Beibei's martial soul has now transformed into a Light Holy Dragon, perhaps he could become a future leader among Shrek's younger generation!
So, how to train the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy exchange students has become the biggest challenge now. It's not feasible to let them take dangerous risks, nor to train them intensively, and sending them out without proper guidance would be even worse. These students must feel the glorious baptism of Shrek Academy—the sacred land of soul masters.
"It seems I can only call another meeting of the Sea God Pavilion later. I hope the other elders can offer their opinions," Moon En thought, already formulating a training plan in his mind.
However, he still wanted the elders to share their views and discuss whether they could find a more suitable training approach.
The reason was simple: he didn't have much time left and couldn't help Shrek with strategies all the time.
Even if he entered the Golden Tree, he could only temporarily preserve his soul, not guarantee eternal safety. Shrek's future would ultimately be decided by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, led by Xuan Zi.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked up at the sky. The scorching sun hung high, but due to his strength and martial soul, the sunlight had little effect on him, so he could look directly at it.
Thoughts surged in Mu En's mind: Even if Shrek encounters a catastrophe in the future, the ancestor Tang San, who is far away in the God Realm, will never come to help. After all, even when the Tang Sect was nearly destroyed, Tang San didn't intervene.
So, everything depends on Shrek itself. But Wang Dong is very strange—Even I can't see through her. Are the people of the Clear Sky Sect so mysterious?
And why did Wang Dong dress as a man? The Martial Soul Light Goddess Butterfly has always been inherited by women. It's a female martial soul.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from the dormitory entrance.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao approached Mu En and whispered: "Old Mu."
Mu En snapped back to attention and nodded, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Honestly, he enjoyed being the old man downstairs in the dormitory, because watching energetic young people come and go reminded him of his youth—a time worth remembering.
"Wang Dong! How about a fight in the arena?" Xiao Hongchen suddenly stepped forward aggressively upon seeing Wang Dong.
Wang Dong looked back at him with some confusion. "Xiao Hongchen, you've only been at Shrek for a few days. I don't think I've done anything to offend you, right? Why do you suddenly want to fight me? You look a bit like Dai Huabin… You…"
Halfway through, Wang Dong realized it was inappropriate to mention Dai Huabin in public—Dai Huabin was already dead.
Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms and said, "Wang Dong, I heard you're a genius from Shrek. I came to Shrek just to fight a genius like you."
Lin Xi, who was standing nearby, looked puzzled. He wondered, why was Xiao Hongchen praising others. Usually, this guy who likes to look down on people shouldn't say such things.
Xiao Hongchen's behavior was instructed by Jing Hongchen.
As long as he fights with the geniuses of Shrek, he can gather some information about them. When the next Soul Fighting Competition occurs, the Sun Moon Empire will gain some advantages.
As for relying on Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny to glimpse the future, Jing Hongchen believed Huo Yuhao's ability was strong but unstable, so it was better to rely on Xiao Hongchen to find out in person.
"Do you like causing trouble so much?" Wang Dong asked, puzzled. "I'm only a three-ring soul elder, and you're a five-ring Soul King! Plus, you're a level-five soul engineer. If we fight, I'd be at a huge disadvantage."
She thought that being a Soul King was okay, but the level-five soul engineer was too intimidating. It wasn't that she was afraid of his power, but she felt the consciousness in her mind was growing stronger these days.
Although her elders emphasized it was just an illusion, Wang Dong now doubted their words. She suspected there was another person inside her body!
Under the influence of this consciousness, her resistance to soul guidance devices increased daily.
She naturally didn't want to face Xiao Hongchen with his large arsenal of soul-guidance devices. Just thinking about that scene made her scalp tingle.
"Looking for trouble?" Xiao Hongchen raised his chin slightly and found an excuse. "According to Shrek's motto, those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. I am a genius. I'm still studying at Shrek, so I'm half a Shrek student. Naturally, I have to seek out trouble and cause more! To prove my genius status."
Wang Dong was confused, thinking this was just how the academy motto was understood. Isn't this a kind of sophistry?
