บท 2624: Chapter 2559: As Promised_1
Soon, Shrek Academy officially opened its doors for recruitment!!
However, everyone lingered on the sidelines, with very few taking the initiative to sign up…
"Mom, why are we even here at Shrek Academy? Joining the Spirit Pagoda clearly has a brighter future,"
"Let's wait and see, Shrek Academy was once the top academy on the Continent!"
"Tsk, it doesn't deserve that title anymore. You should know that the Spirit Pagoda's number of Soul Masters has now surpassed the federation, and it can definitely be called the most prestigious power! What's Shrek Academy in comparison?"
"I heard that Shrek Academy was once destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, resulting in massive casualties among the students. The buildings we see now have been rebuilt! It's quite possible that our children could face the same dangers after joining!"
"Hiss… For safety's sake, I think I'd better send my child to the Spirit Pagoda!"
Standing outside the academy, Yue Zhengyu clenched his teeth in anger and said, "Damn it, our Shrek Academy has never been this humiliated, to be looked down upon like this!"
Next to him, Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. After being destroyed once, our Shrek Academy's status on the Continent has plummeted!"
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips, "It seems that we won't be recruiting any students today either. We'll just have to pin our hopes on the smaller sects!"
Yuanen Yehui, however, shook his head, "I think everyone should not hold out too much hope; those small sects might verbally agree, but they could still renege on their promises!"
Tang Wulin also lost confidence and turned his gaze towards Cai Yue'er, suggesting, "Elder Cai, perhaps we should stop the recruitment efforts. Continuing like this…"
Cai Yue'er just gave him a look and did not show much, "Wulin, let's wait a little longer!"
The other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion also had serious expressions, clearly dissatisfied with the current situation…
If the former Pavilion Masters of bygone eras saw this state of affairs, they would also feel disgraced!
After waiting for a full half an hour, to everyone's surprise, representatives of some powers led by the federation approached...
Realizing what was happening, Yuanen Yehui narrowed his eyes and said, "Those are…representatives of the federation and its affiliated powers? What are they doing here?"
Ya Li's expression turned colder, "They're not here to mock Shrek Academy, are they?"
Lan Muzi shook his head, denying, "That shouldn't be the case. The federation isn't foolish enough to turn against Shrek Academy!"
Tang Yinmeng blinked her beautiful eyes, "I think they're most likely here to show support for Shrek Academy!"
Although the major powers don't usually get along behind the scenes, it seems that targeting Shrek Academy would bring no benefit to the federation!
As expected, when they arrived, the Chairman leading the group reached out and shook hands with Cai Yue'er, smiling, "Elder Cai, on behalf of the federation, congratulations on the rebuilding of Shrek Academy!!"
The latter responded softly, "Chairman, on behalf of Shrek Academy, I thank the federation!"
The support of the federation and these powers could potentially attract some Soul Masters to join!
The Chairman withdrew his hand, his gaze then turned to the empty recruitment booth, wondering, "Elder Cai, has Shrek Academy just started recruiting?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er gave a bitter smile, "To be honest, Chairman, ever since the last attack by the Holy Spirit Cult, the academy has lost its prestige,"
"Now, recruiting is incredibly difficult!"
The Chairman nodded to show his understanding, "I see... It seems Shrek Academy is in no different a position than our federation!"
He paused for a moment and then added, "However, Elder Cai, you needn't worry. On the way here, I've already seen quite a number of Sect Disciples hurrying this way. It looks like they are planning to join Shrek Academy."
As these words left his mouth, the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion all showed expressions of joy...
This seemed to suggest that having Yue Zhengyu, the Angel Family Patriarch himself, visit these sects was indeed effective!
"They're here!!"
As Tang Wulin's voice rang out, the disciples from the various smaller sects began to approach one after another...
When the Sect Leaders saw Cai Yue'er, they all respectfully said, "Elder Cai, sorry for our late arrival!"
"We took a bit of time to select sufficiently excellent students to join!"
"That's right, we have great trust in the teaching quality of Shrek Academy!"
"The Clan Leader didn't deceive us, Shrek Academy has indeed been rebuilt! And there are so many powerful individuals!"
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Cai Yue'er responded, "You jest, Sect Leaders. Your willingness to send your excellent disciples to Shrek Academy is a great sign of trust to us."
"Therefore, here, in the name of an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, I assure you that Shrek Academy will not let you down!"
One of the Sect Leaders said eagerly, "Elder Cai, we of course believe what you say. There's no time to lose, shall we begin the registration process?"
Cai Yue'er didn't put on airs and nodded, "Good!"
Finished speaking, she looked at Tang Wulin. "Wulin, lead these Sect Disciples for registration. Any who meet the admission criteria should be accepted into the Academy without discrimination based on their Martial Souls!"
Tang Wulin replied earnestly, "Yes, Elder Cai."
With that, he waved to the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters, and they began to lead the Sect Disciples of each sect to register...
At this moment, the attitudes of the onlooking crowd began to subtly shift as they whispered among themselves...
"So many sect disciples are willing to join Shrek Academy; don't they know what happened there in the past?"
"No, that incident was too significant, all the sects must know about it. Yet, they still chose to join. Perhaps, Shrek Academy isn't as bad as the rumors suggest?"
"Hmph, sending your kids to join is asking for trouble. I wouldn't do it. Besides, Shrek Academy has no influence now. It's better to join any ordinary academy instead!"
"Shut up. Shrek Academy has suffered a great blow, but haven't you noticed? The number of powerful individuals within has not decreased at all compared to before!"
"Maybe we should let our kids give it a try? If it doesn't work out, we can always withdraw them from the school!"
"That makes sense. Although Spirit Pagoda is the most prestigious right now, they've admitted too many Soul Masters recently. Without connections, you can't even get in!"
Suddenly, a man stepped forward leading his child towards the recruitment area, "If you don't join, it's your children's loss. Shrek Academy's long history isn't just due to luck, but strength!"
In an instant, those parents who were initially hesitant made up their minds...
They one after another started leading their children to register, and the atmosphere became bustling...
