Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 19 Shaozhe, if this matter gets out of hand, it will be hard to end. We at Shrek still have to do business with Xuanming Sect.
In the hall on the first floor of Poseidon Pavilion, six Poseidon Pavilion elders including Xuan Zi and four deans including Yan Shaozhe sat down at the oval table in an orderly manner, with a solemn look on their faces.

This is the highest power center of Shrek Academy. Everyone present here is a core figure of Shrek Academy. The six elders are all Super Douluo-level powerhouses, and among the four deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department at the end of the seat, there are also two Super Douluos and two Titled Douluos.

Eight Super Douluo and two Titled Douluo, this is the strongest foundation that allows Shrek Academy to dominate the world.

Yan Shaozhe and the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Meir, sat at the last seats on the left, facing the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Liner, and the Vice Dean, Qian Duoduo.

At this moment, everyone was silent, waiting for Moon, the Sea God Pavilion Master who was sitting on the recliner in front of the main seat at the long table and whose cultivation level was as high as ninety-nine levels, to speak.

"Let's start the meeting now that everyone is here. Xiao Song, you will preside over it."

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded, and many elders straightened their bodies.

Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao exchanged a subtle glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

At this time in the past, Mr. Mu would let Yan Shaozhe, his direct disciple, preside over the meeting on his behalf. Why did he change someone today?
However, Mr. Song's strength and qualifications are top-notch, and he is naturally qualified to be the host. Neither of them questioned it.

Old Song, who was sitting at the second seat on the right side of the long table, stood up with a smile, nodded to everyone, and then began to speak:
"Everyone, Elder Mu has called this emergency meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss the training of three students. They are all very talented and have the potential to become Super Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi's eyes were filled with even more doubt. Aren't there only Le Xuan and Bei Bei? Why is there one more?
"Beibei just started school last year. In the first grade, no one can compare to him except Xu Sanshi. Could it be Xu Sanshi?"

As the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe knew all the geniuses in the outer courtyard very well. He immediately thought of Xu Sanshi, the only one in the outer courtyard who could compete with Beibei.

These two, one is an offensive system, the other a defensive system, are the best in their respective fields, quite like two shining stars. They have both been included in the core disciples of the Wuhun system, and he is very optimistic about them.

But... thinking of his experience in Xuanming Sect, Yan Shaozhe's eyes couldn't help but dimmed a little, and his right knuckles also exerted a little force.

"This first child is the current top talent in our inner courtyard, Le Xuan. We have all watched her grow up. She comes from a clean background and is a legitimate member of our family. She will definitely become a pillar of Shrek Academy in the future."

Old Song chuckled and praised Zhang Lexuan a few words. Everyone, including Xuan Zi, smiled and expressed their agreement.

In terms of background, no one in the academy is more worthy of the honor of being a Shrek person than Zhang Lexuan. Even Beibei has the mark of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

"During Xingdou's previous trip, Le Xuan turned a disaster into a blessing, absorbing the 100,000-year eighth ring and the 100,000-year soul bone. She will definitely become a Super Douluo in the future. This is an unparalleled talent.

The academy will also hunt for the most suitable spirit ring for her when she breaks through level ninety. In this way, as long as she has enough time, it will be easy for her to cultivate to level ninety-eight, and there is a great hope for her to reach level ninety-nine."

"So Elder Mu and I both believe that she can be trained as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. Today, we'll nominate her as a reserve member of the Sea God Pavilion. Once she becomes a Titled Douluo, she'll officially join the Sea God Pavilion. Everyone, please raise your hands and express your opinion."

All ten people raised their hands and passed it unanimously.

"Very good, let's move on to the next topic." Song Lao nodded, smiled at Moon sitting on the recliner, and continued:

"The second topic is about the appointment of two members of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

Everyone probably knows that last year, two gifted young geniuses emerged from Shrek's outer courtyard. One is the well-known Bei Bei, and the other is Xu Sanshi, a direct disciple from the hidden Xuanming Sect..."

Here he comes! It really is Xu Sanshi!
Yan Shaozhe frowned, clenched his knuckles, and a gloom filled his heart.

If it weren't for the previous incident, he would be happy to see two of the Seven Monsters emerge from the core disciples of his Wuhun Department, but now, he had to step in to stop it.

"These two little geniuses not only have good cultivation talents and strong martial spirits, but also have some special abilities. In other words, their martial spirits have the possibility of temporary evolution, and it is not impossible for them to fight across a level. Therefore, Elder Mu and I both believe..."

"Mr. Song, and Teacher, should we reconsider this matter?"

Yan Shaozhe raised his hand and stood up, bowed to the six elders including Song Lao and Xuan Zi, and interrupted Song Lao's words.

"Um???"

The six elders, including Xuan Zi, all cast questioning glances. The three deans, including Yan Shaozhe's wife Cai Meir, all began to doubt at this moment:
Is there water in Yan Shaozhe's brain?
"Old Yan, have you been taking the wrong medicine these days? What nonsense are you talking about? Beibei is a legitimate member of the academy. Why don't you apologize to Elder Mu, Elder Song and the others?"

Qian Duoduo winked at Yan Shaozhe and was the first to scold him.

Everyone knows who intended Beibei to be one of the Seven Devils. Even if you were Mu Lao's direct disciple, could you still stop him from training his great-great-grandson? Isn't that courting death?

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and continued to speak despite the pressure from his old colleagues:

"Of course I'm not against Beibei. Beibei is a child we all watched grow up. I absolutely support him becoming one of the Seven Monsters.

What I am against is Xu Sanshi. Although he is talented, he comes from the Xuanming Sect. I think it is inappropriate to hastily give him a position in the Seven Monsters and invest a lot of precious resources in him. There is no guarantee that our investment will be rewarded.

After all… even the geniuses of Xiaotao and Yueheng’s generation weren’t chosen to be among the Seven Devils. In terms of background and loyalty to Shrek, Xiaotao and Yueheng are much safer than Xu Sanshi.”

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, most of the doubts in everyone's eyes disappeared. That was right. Shaozhe, who had always been smart, would not make such a low-level mistake.

Xuanzi coughed twice and was the first to speak in support, "I think Shaozhe's words are wise words. Xu Sanshi may be talented, but he is far from knowing the inside story like Beibei does. Even if we want to give him a position in the Seven Devils, we can observe him for a few more years."

"After all, this is a matter of great importance. It not only symbolizes honor, but also means a higher level of resource training than that of core disciples, as well as the trust and expectations of the academy in them.

Even the two descendants of the original Seven Devils didn't get it, yet Xu Sanshi, a kid who had just been in Shrek for a year, got it. It's really not appropriate."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up. Master Xuan was always Master Xuan. He was never confused about important matters. This would give everyone a way out.

As expected, after Xuan Zi finished speaking, more than half of the elders present showed approval in their eyes. Even Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment, agreeing that this was feasible. The Shrek Seven Devils represented the academy's highest honor, and countless geniuses had fought tooth and nail for a single spot. Therefore, internal appointments must be made with extreme caution.

At this time, Lin Huiqun, who was sitting opposite Xuan Lao, spoke up and expressed his different opinion:

"Everyone, the selection of the Seven Monsters is based on talent. Xu Sanshi has enough talent, so why not give him the qualification? Is there anyone in his generation who can squeeze him out of the Seven Monsters? Giving it to him earlier or later makes no difference."

This again caused the approval and hesitation of several veterans.

Yan Shaozhe frowned and whispered, "But Elder Lin, I don't think the Xuanming Sect has much respect for our academy. We don't have the same close relationship as the Blue Lightning Family and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. It's very likely that Xu Sanshi will return to the sect after completing his studies."

"Doesn't this prove that we need to train this child well to repair our relationship? We are indeed sorry for what happened to Yue'er." Old Song shook his head and retorted.

Xuan Zi's expression darkened. Yan Shaozhe was about to speak, but was interrupted by Elder Lin with a smile:
"Shao Zhe, I know you've suffered some injustice in Xuanming Sect, but if this matter gets out of hand, it won't end well. We at Shrek still have to do business with Xuanming Sect."

Mr. Lin’s voice was kind and his words were shocking, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Old Lin smiled kindly at everyone. She was in charge of Shrek City's Treasure Pavilion and also controlled Shrek City's external economic affairs. She was very familiar with the Xuanming Sect, a major company in the elixir business.

Shrek City is autonomous and has the right to collect taxes independently. The Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce of the Xuanming Sect is a major taxpayer.

"Don't think that I, Lin Huiqun, am speaking to outsiders. It's just that over the years, I have had some dealings with the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Xuanming Sect, and I know them better."

"As far as I know, the Xuanming Sect has more than just Xu Xiaoyun, an old monster. There are about three Super Douluo and more than ten Titled Douluo. Their strength is second to none among all the hidden sects, no less than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

The Mysterious Nether Turtle Martial Spirit inherited by their sect is the pinnacle of defensive Martial Spirits. None of us here dare to claim that our Martial Spirits can surpass theirs. With such strength, we must be cautious."

As she spoke, she glanced at Mr. Song beside her, and said in a much more serious tone:

"I've seen another old fellow from the Xuanming Sect before. His cultivation level is not inferior to mine, and may be close to that of Elder Song. Therefore, the Xuanming Sect should definitely not be underestimated."

Maybe close to Mr. Song!
As these words spread throughout the Poseidon Pavilion, the eyes of the elders who were over a hundred years old suddenly became clear and bright, as if they had suddenly become several years younger.

Old Song is the third strongest Shrek cultivator in the Sea God Pavilion, second only to Moon and Xuan Zi. His cultivation is as high as level 97, and he possesses the Green Shadow Divine Eagle martial spirit, making him the world's number one agile attack cultivator.

Being able to get close to Old Song means that he is at least a strong man at the peak of level 96, and he is also an old turtle with thick skin and flesh.

Xu Xiaoyun at level ninety-eight, several Super Douluo and more than ten Titled Douluo, leaving aside Elder Mu, this strength is enough to make the Sea God Pavilion feel like facing a formidable enemy.

But how can Mr. Mu move easily in his current condition?

Moon lay motionless on the golden tree chair, his eyelids half-open, and he did not express any opinions from beginning to end, as if he was completely uninterested.

Elder Lin looked at Moon with respect and continued:

“In addition, the Xuanming Sect is good at refining pills. You should all know the names of their most famous Xuanshui Pills and Xuanwu Divine Pills.

Although they are secluded, they have made many connections in the Tianhun Empire through these means. Douling and Xingluo also have traces of the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce. The power lurking underwater should not be underestimated."

"If we were to become enemies over a minor conflict...with all due respect, that would be inappropriate. After all, we're not really in the right in this matter. Cultivating Xu Sanshi is an opportunity to improve our relationship."

"As for Shaozhe's matter, we can take our time."

At this point, the choice of many elders has become very clear. Shrek is the spiritual leader of the soul masters in the world, and the fundamental reason lies in his relationship with the great nobles and major sects.

Since ancient times, they have always been on good terms with the sects and nobles. When has there ever been a reason for them to take the initiative to break up with the great nobles and sects? Not to mention that the incident with Master Xuan would have been a huge scandal if it were made public.

"Haha, you've all said almost everything, so I'll add something as well."

At this moment, Moon, who was as steady as a rock, finally spoke slowly, and everyone held their breath and watched.

"As far as I know, Xu Sanshi's mother, the wife of the Xuanming Sect's leader, is the eldest princess of the Douling Empire and the aunt of the new Douling Emperor. Well, that's it."

Moon made the final decision, and everyone no longer had any doubts, and all ten votes passed.

Even though the Douling Empire is the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, it is still a country after all.

As for Shaozhe's matter... they can't beat Old Monster Xu anyway, and Old Xuan is not in a position to take action, so they should wait for Shaozhe to grow up and get it back himself.

When the meeting was about to end, Moon called out to Yan Shaozhe, who looked very unhappy, and said, "Shaozhe, stay. I have something to tell you."

"Yes~teacher."

Yan Shaozhe, who was about to leave, stopped and walked towards Moon honestly with a dejected look, looking like a good boy listening attentively.

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo turned around and smiled, with a hint of gloating.

"You are so good, Yan Shaozhe, you even dared to go against Mr. Mu's wishes. Now you are in trouble. Oh my, the weather is so nice today..."
