Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 125 Tang Ya's Awakening!
Everyone present was startled. How many years had it been since they had heard Elder Mu's voice show any emotion? Eighty years or a hundred years?

"Xuanzi!"

"Yes, Elder Mu." Elder Xuan was suddenly startled.

"I never blamed you for what happened to Le Xuan and the others, because no one can predict accidents," Old Mu shook his head and continued, "But what pains me is that you learned your lesson but didn't learn from it!"

"Lin'er."

"Yes, Mr. Mu!"

"I've made the decision today. After the Sea God Pavilion meeting, all inner court disciples must come to you to have at least one flying soul tool and one defensive soul tool custom-made. Anyone who objects again will be expelled from the academy!"

"Yes." A hint of joy immediately appeared on Xian Lin'er's face, but Yan Shaozhe, who was opposite her, frowned slightly.

Elder Mu witnessed all of this and said in a deep voice, "Shao Zhe, this time it was Huo Yuhao who gave Ma Xiaotao an invincible shield. Otherwise, no one could have predicted whether Ma Xiaotao would have ended up like Dai Yueheng. Do you really think that your disciple's life is less important than your foolish and corrupt pride?"

Yan Shaozhe was startled. Thinking of Dai Yueheng's fate, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.

"Elder Mu, I was wrong!" Yan Shaozhe quickly bowed and said.

Elder Mu snorted softly, shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at Elder Xuan: "Xuanzi, I have granted your request. You are indeed no longer suitable to be the deputy leader of the Shrek Academy's inspection team. You can stay in the inner academy to teach students. In addition, the money that the inner academy's martial soul department pays to the soul guidance department for purchasing soul tools must be paid, and there must be no delays."

Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Elder Mu, what about this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament? The Inner Academy only has a dozen or so disciples left, and only two of them are the right age, but their abilities are lacking. Should we send the Soul Guidance Department member who was eliminated last time, along with these two, together?"

After a moment's thought, Elder Mu shook his head and said, "No, we don't need reinforcements. Let them do what they want."

The elders present were all startled, and Elder Xuan said anxiously, "But Elder Mu, what about Shrek Academy's honor for ten thousand years?"

Old Master Mu waved his hand and said sarcastically, "Honor? Shrek's honor over the past ten thousand years has long become a shackle around your necks. What's scary is not winning or losing, but complacency! Shrek has been bound by this so-called honor for tens of thousands of years. It's time to let go and let those kids do their best."

“Moreover,” a smile suddenly appeared on Elder Mu’s aged face, “with Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao, the Soul Emperor, even if we are missing four key players, we are not necessarily going to lose.”

The bigwigs exchanged glances, thinking of the legends Huo Yuhao had created over the past year, as well as his outstanding performance in this unexpected incident, and finally nodded.

"Moreover, if we can use this defeat to give those seven kids in the reserve team enough experience, then the next generation might be the new life of Shrek Academy! Lin'er, after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament ends, you should send a letter to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the name of the Soul Guidance Department, submitting an exchange application and sending our Soul Guidance Department students to them for exchange and learning."

Xian Lin'er was taken aback, and hesitated before asking, "Will they agree?"

Elder Mu smiled slightly: "They can also send people to our academy for exchange and learning. With Shrek's reputation, they will definitely be willing. This is a mutually beneficial thing for both academies."

"In addition, the development of soul tools requires strong support from the academy. Huiqun, please provide more financial support from your side."

Old Lin nodded.

Elder Mu said, "Fan Yu from the Soul Guidance Department is quite good. Does anyone have any objections to promoting him to vice dean?"

Everyone nodded in unison; no one would object to Elder Mu's suggestions. Elder Mu said to Xian Lin'er, "Let him be in charge of the research and development of soul tools. Apart from his two direct disciples, he doesn't need to teach the other students. Let him lead the exchange with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

While the Sea God Pavilion meeting was being held, Tang Ya was sitting alone in her dormitory, lost in thought, her pretty oval face looking somewhat pale.

"I heard from Sister Lexuan that even inner court disciples with such strong abilities suffered heavy losses in this mission. I wonder if Yuhao is alright?"

Thoughts swirled in Tang Ya's mind, and the faces of Wang Dong'er and Di Qianqiu flashed through her mind involuntarily. She gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Really, what right do I have to worry about Yuhao? Besides, given how much the teachers value Yuhao, if he were really seriously injured, they would definitely send him back for treatment immediately. Since he hasn't come back, it means he must be fine."

Tang Ya shook her head vigorously and murmured, "He has such outstanding girls like Dong'er and Qiu'er by his side, how could I possibly have a chance? And the Tang Clan, although Bei Bei has helped me a lot, with my current strength, I'm afraid even graduating from sixth grade will be a problem. The fourth ring is really too far away from me."

Thinking of this, Tang Ya couldn't help but clench her fists, suddenly recalling a scene from a previous conversation she had with Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, if, if one day I become an evil person, will you still consider me your friend?"

"What, do you want to become an outlaw or a mountain king?"

"Ugh! I mean, if, if my power becomes evil, and everyone hates and fears me, wouldn't you hate me too?"

"Is power evil, or are you evil?"

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference, Xiaoya. You must remember that power has no distinction between evil and justice. No matter what kind of power it is, as long as you can keep your conscience in mind, it will be good if you use it for good, and evil if you use it for evil! As long as you have a clear conscience, what do I care about other people's opinions?"

Tang Ya's eyes hardened instantly, and she murmured, "Yuhao, you're right. As long as I stay true to myself, any power will just be a tool in my hands. Other people's opinions don't matter at all. At least, you shouldn't hate me, right?"

Wiping away her tears, Tang Ya stood up and walked outside with firm steps.

Two days later, in a village 300 miles east of Shrek, a man dressed in coarse cloth rushed in excitedly and shouted, "Fellow villagers, the bandits on Liangshan Mountain have been punished by heaven and are all dead! Haha, we no longer have to live in fear!"

"What? They've all been killed by the heavens? Iron Hammer, what happened?" A plump middle-aged woman rushed out in surprise upon hearing the voice.

"Haha, this morning when I went up the mountain to gather firewood, I heard a group of passing merchants say that there was a bloody smell coming from Liangshan. I thought the government had finally sent troops to suppress the bandits, so I quietly went over to check."

Iron Hammer's eyes were filled with excitement, but also mixed with a hint of fear: "Guess what? When I got there, I saw the bandit camp's gate wide open, and there were dead bodies everywhere. The bandits all looked like they had turned into mummies, and their faces were filled with extreme terror, as if they had seen ghosts! They were all dead, they must have been punished by heaven!"

As the news spread, the entire village and town erupted in jubilation!
Tang Ya made some arrangements, let's go!
