Capítulo 625: Chapter 55 Shaking the Sea God's Pavilion_1
Shrek Academy.
Sea God's Pavilion.
Mu En and Elder Zhuang were sitting together, leisurely chatting while watching the tide rise and fall outside the Sea God's Pavilion.
"Elder Mu, what place do you think our Shrek Academy kids can achieve in this Soul Master competition?"
Elder Zhuang asked nonchalantly.
Mu En looked deeply at Elder Zhuang, smiled faintly, "At our ages, is the desire to win still that strong?"
Elder Zhuang stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, this is called being young at heart, spirited even in old age. Besides, Shrek Academy has been champions for so many years. If we say we can't get a very good place this time, I would indeed find it somewhat hard to accept."
"You..."
Mu En shook his head helplessly, "I actually have a different opinion. I think as long as these kids dare to fight and step into the arena, and aren't cowards, that's enough.
After all, competition is about participation. Why must we achieve first place?
I actually think this is a great opportunity for these kids. It will stimulate their potential and allow them to grow quickly.
I believe these seven children will be the founders of Shrek's glory for the next millennium. One should look further, momentary gains and losses mean little. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. We need at least ten years to make these seven children the future of Shrek. Decades later, those sitting in the Sea God's Pavilion will be them."
"Later, you go and tell Shao Zhe to start preparing the celebration banquet. Regardless of the final place these children obtain, after they return from the Xingluo Empire, all department heads of Shrek Academy must personally celebrate their return."
After listening to Mu En, Elder Zhuang was lost in thought for a long while.
After some time, he spoke with genuine respect, "Elder Mu truly is Elder Mu, whether it's breadth of mind, vision, or the way you behave, I'm nowhere close."
"If Xuan Zi had half of your abilities, Shrek Academy might shine even brighter."
In fact, what he wanted to say was that if Xuan Zi had half of Mu En's abilities, Mu En could rest in peace.
But on second thought, that seemed improper.
It was as if he was cursing Mu En to death, so he changed tactics.
Mu En was amused by Elder Zhuang's words, "I think you aren't hard to match, you're just flattering me. Little Zhuang, your cultivation level hasn't increased over the years, but your skill at flattery has improved quite a bit. If there were a realm for flattery, I reckon you would be at least a Titled Douluo-level Expert, right?"
"Ah, this..."
Elder Zhuang was suddenly a little embarrassed, pretending to be annoyed he said, "If you talk like that, I don't think there will be anyone in the Sea God's Pavilion to keep you company while drinking tea and chatting tomorrow."
"Isn't that just perfect? This premium tea that costs 1,000 golden soul coins per tael, I barely have enough for myself... It saves me some if you don't come."
Elder Zhuang: "..."
It seemed his suggestion was exactly what Mu En desired.
This punishment seemed to be less about punishing Mu En and more about punishing himself.
This won't do.
I need to come up with something else to leverage against him.
While Elder Zhuang was racking his brain,
Someone hurried into the Sea God's Pavilion.
Mu En smiled slightly, "Shao Zhe, your timing is perfect. There are some things I wanted Elder Zhuang to pass on for me, but now there's no need."
Yan Shaozhe's expression changed, "May I know what Elder Mu would like me to do?"
Mu En said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that after those kids return from the Soul Master competition, we must organize a grand celebration banquet for them. We should gather all the students of the academy, and the heads of the Martial Soul Department, Soul Guide Department, and other departments must all attend on time."
"But..." Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly changed.
A celebration banquet? What a joke.
He had just received news from the Xingluo Empire and already knew what Xuan Zi and the Shrek Academy team had done.
They staged fake fights, ambushed other academies, and wiped out the competition.
Look at this, is this what Shrek Academy should do?
Can this even be done by Shrek Academy?
And such shady tactics had been exposed.
Now, Shrek Academy's good name is tarnished.
The reputation of The Number One Academy Under Heaven has been sullied by these people.
It wouldn't be long before members of Shrek Academy might be ridiculed behind their backs when they go out.
And still hold a celebration banquet?
Are we promoting such underhanded and inferior tactics?
Or do we just not think we've embarrassed ourselves enough?
"Hey, Shao Zhe, there's no 'but'... I know you're worried that these kids might not achieve very good places. But I want to tell you that it's not important. By stepping into the arena, these children have already won," Mu En interrupted before Yan Shaozhe could finish.
Hearing Mu En say this, Yan Shaozhe's face was full of bitterness, "Elder Mu, I understand what you're saying, however..."
"However, you can't bear to lose face, right?" Mu En joked, "Don't take your celebrity status so seriously..."
Damn celebrity status.
The celebrity status of Shrek Academy had long been smashed to pieces on the ground.
Celebrity, my foot...
Yan Shaozhe was nearly on the verge of a breakdown internally.
"Shao Zhe, I have to say a few words to you," Elder Zhuang, noticing Yan Shaozhe's face changing and his hesitance to agree to Mu En's suggestion, immediately felt somewhat displeased.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Elder Mu has done. Perhaps our academy won't achieve a very good place, but it's for a reason. I think making the hardships of these children known to the public and promoting it is a good way to motivate them. Also, this loss can become a driving force for the children's next success."
