Chapitre 2611: Chapter 2546: Seek Another Path_1

Suddenly, Cai Yue'er patted him on the shoulder and asked softly, "Wulin, what's wrong with you, looking so downcast?"

Tang Wulin came back to his senses and looked at her, sighing, "Elder Cai, most of the Soul Masters around here have joined the Spirit Pagoda; hardly anyone comes to inquire about enrolling at Shrek Academy!"

"At this rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit even ten students in a month!"

Cai Yue'er pondered for a few seconds before explaining, "This is the situation; the Spirit Pagoda has been recruiting Soul Masters too frequently recently, and they're starting to monopolize the source of prospects from various powers"

"I was thinking of having you, as the Pavilion Master, go and discuss this matter, but given what happened last time, it's highly unlikely that Gu Yuena would agree to meet with you!"

Tang Wulin showed a trace of guilt, "Elder Cai..."

The previous Pavilion Master, Yun Ming, had passed the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master to him out of trust, but since he had taken over, he hadn't really made any significant contributions!

Elder Cai saw what he was thinking and reassured him, "It's alright, if we can't recruit many now, we'll just take our time. The enrollment numbers at Shrek Academy have never been high in a single day anyway"

Of course, these words were meant to comfort him...

At its peak, Shrek Academy had enough students queuing up to fill more than half of the outer court!

Suddenly, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up with excitement, "Right... Elder Cai, if we can't recruit students, then we can try to recruit disciples from those smaller sects!"

Although those small sects were no longer active on the Continent, if Shrek Academy was willing to take in their disciples, it was highly unlikely that they would refuse!

Cai Yue'er immediately responded, "That's indeed a solution, but it would not be appropriate for the Sea God Pavilion Master to step forward. Let Zhengyu do it"

"He's now the Patriarch of the Angel Clan, so he should be quite persuasive!"

Yue Zhengyu, who had been zealously promoting the academy, suddenly appeared behind him, surprised, "Elder Cai, did you just mention me?"

Cai Yue'er was forthright, "Yes... There's something very important that I need you to do!"

Yue Zhengyu's expression became serious, "Just tell me, Elder Cai. I will spare no effort to help the academy!"

Cai Yue'er chuckled lightly, "No need to be so formal; you just need to recruit disciples from those reclusive small sects using your identity as the Patriarch of the Angel Family!"

The latter nodded slightly, "I understand. I'll start preparing now and then bring a few of my clan members to promote Shrek Academy!"

"I guarantee to complete this task beautifully!"

Xu Xiaoyan, who had somehow popped up out of nowhere, raised her right hand in protest, "Me! Me too! I want to go!"

Yue Zhengyu glared at her, "Stop messing around; this is not a trip for fun! Those sect leaders are often very eccentric, and we might even encounter conflicts!"

Xu Xiaoyan immediately pulled a face, "Meh meh meh, if you won't let me go, so be it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned around and left...

Cai Yue'er held a trace of envy as she remarked, "Your relationship with Xiao Yan is really good, huh. Speaking of which, it's about time for you two to get married!"

Yue Zhengyu didn't deny it, "Hmm, once Shrek Academy is back on track, I'll propose to Xiao Yan!"

As the Patriarch of the Angel Family, his status was even more prestigious compared to the father of Xu Xiaoyan...

Add to that the fact that they were deeply in love with each other, he believed that proposing would be no issue at all!

He paused briefly before sighing, "It's just a pity for Ye Hui. Xie Xie's death has made her even more reclusive..."

"Now she spends most of her time in her room, completely cut off from the outside world!"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "There's nothing we can do about it. Xie Xie was too reckless, and the Divine Artifact of the Abyssal Emperor is no simple foe!"

The Shrek Seven Monsters, now reduced to the Shrek six monsters...

Spirit Pagoda!

The man responsible for the registration of Soul Masters found Gu Yuena with great excitement and reported, "Report... Report to the Pagoda Master, our Spirit Pagoda's number of Soul Masters has already far surpassed the federation, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we're the number one top force on the Continent!"

Even if we were to go to war with the federation now, as long as they don't use the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles, we would have a seventy percent chance of victory!

To this, Gu Yuena merely glanced at him indifferently and uttered two simple words, "Very good!"

But seeing that the man still stood there, rubbing his hands together, his face filled with unease, she frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The man swallowed and said in disappointment, "Pagoda Master, as you know, we have a lot of Soul Masters in the Spirit Pagoda, but having them all gathered at the headquarters is really too crowded. We must spread them out a bit!"

"How about we dispatch a portion of the members to the Spirit Pagoda's branch towers? What do you think?"

Gu Yuena sighed helplessly, "You need to ask me about even such a trivial matter? Don't you know how to think for yourself?"

They definitely should be sent to the branch towers of Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, the headquarters will be all people, and we simply won't be able to handle everything!

The man scratched his head, "I... I just thought that you, the Pagoda Master, were getting ready to do something big... ahem, never mind, I was just running my mouth!"

"Then Pagoda Master, I shall take my leave now!"

Watching his hasty retreat, Gu Yuena's expression also grew tinged with a faint sadness...

The quicker the rise of Spirit Pagoda, the closer the day comes when we'll go to war with all the powers of Soul Land!

Of course, what worried her the most was the man she would inevitably meet on the battlefield!

She knew very well that he would never tolerate Soul Land being ruled by soul beasts!

"My lord!"

Di Tian's voice arose without warning...

Pulled back to reality from her reverie, Gu Yuena was slightly astonished, "Di Tian, when did you get here?"

Di Tian replied truthfully, "A few minutes ago, seeing that you were so engrossed in thought, I did not disturb you."

Without having to think, he knew what was on her mind!

After all, eyes don't lie...

Gu Yuena showed her understanding and changed the subject, "I see, how are things at the research lab?"

Di Tian spoke with barely contained excitement, "Hmm, we have expanded the research laboratory and invested in more scientific research personnel to work there. The creation rate of soul beasts has also seen a substantial increase!"

Gu Yuena nodded lightly, "Very good, the sudden surge in the number of Soul Masters at Spirit Pagoda has caught the attention of the major powers, and they are currently investigating."

"We must hasten our pace now, at least, before the war breaks out, we need to bring about a qualitative change in the number of soul beasts!"

Di Tian patted his chest, assuring her, "My lord, rest assured, Bi Ji is guarding the research laboratory; there won't be the slightest halt in research!"

Bi Ji's conduct of affairs is even sharper than his, she's completely trustworthy!

"What about the other ferocious beasts?"

"They are organizing each batch of Spirit Pagoda Members to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, ensuring that each person carries a seed with them!"

That way, we also fundamentally eliminate those who have infiltrated our ranks!
