"To keep such a huge island, along with its buildings and people, suspended high in the air year after year..."
"How much energy supply does this require?"
"And how sophisticated a soul-guiding core array is required?"
As a Douluo who has lived for hundreds of years, Mu En's vision is naturally beyond that of ordinary people.
Even the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall, which currently boasts the most advanced soul guidance technology, could never achieve this level of capability.
Just how profound is the foundation of this academy?
"Yes."
Old Lin, who was standing to the side, also came to his senses, but his brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of worry and disapproval flashed in his eyes.
"Such a huge thing, hanging in the sky..."
"What if the energy supply is insufficient?"
"What if the core magic array malfunctions?"
Old Lin pointed to the bottomless clouds below, his tone tinged with doubt:
"What if this floating island suddenly loses power and falls to the ground..."
"Wouldn't that mean everything is over?"
"Not only will the people up here be torn to pieces, but the creatures on the ground will also likely suffer."
At this point, a hint of disdain crept into Old Lin's eyes.
In her view, this behavior was simply playing with people's lives.
"To entrust the safety of the entire academy to a cold, impersonal soul tool..."
"This is undoubtedly an extremely foolish and irresponsible act."
"Quite unreliable."
In his heart, Old Lin couldn't help but lower his opinion of the Dean who had never been a close friend.
"To rely too much on external things is ultimately not the right path."
This is a deeply ingrained idea that almost every Soul Master at Shrek Academy has.
Apart from Qian Duoduo and a few others from the Soul Guidance Department, most of the elders and students at Shrek Academy, while not exactly averse to soul tools, certainly didn't value them highly.
In their eyes, cultivating one's own martial spirit and soul power is the only path to the pinnacle.
Mu En listened to Elder Lin's words without refuting them, only shaking his head slightly.
Perhaps.
"But since they dared to build it, they must have a foolproof plan."
The three of them landed slowly on the wide square in front of the academy's main gate.
The moment their feet touched solid ground, the cold touch of the metallic floor made both Moon and Old Lin feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Ok?"
Old Lin looked around, his brows furrowing even more.
"What happened?"
"How come such a large college doesn't even have a gatekeeper?"
The square was completely empty, not a single person in sight.
"Is there not a single security guard?"
Old Lin found it somewhat unbelievable.
"You know, even at Shrek Academy, the gate is always managed by senior students on a rotating shift."
Why is it so lax here?
Upon hearing this, Moon smiled and looked at the unfathomable sea of clouds at the edge of the square.
"Hehe, Huiqun."
"Do you think ordinary scoundrels could even get up here?"
Old Lin was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes, this is thousands of meters in the air!
Who could easily reach this place?
"Those who can get here are no ordinary people."
Moon said calmly.
"But what if a powerhouse of that caliber were to arrive..."
"Even if it's our Shrek Academy's security team made up of students, what good is it?"
"It's just for show."
At this point, Moon's gaze suddenly fixed on the center of the square.
There stands a huge statue.
It was a statue of a young man.
He stood tall and straight, a faint, confident smile playing on his lips.
Moon looked at that excessively young face, a hint of surprise flashing in his murky eyes.
“Ancestor, this is Dean Lin Feng.”
Beibei whispered the explanation from the side.
“I met him once, and he and the statue are almost identical.”
"His aura is even more captivating than that of a statue!"
Moon nodded slightly, then turned to look at Beibei beside him, his tone becoming gentler.
"Beibei."
“You’ve been here twice already, so you’ve had some dealings with them before.”
"So, is there anything we should be aware of during this trip?"
Upon hearing this, Beibei was completely stunned.
He stared wide-eyed at the usually imposing and dignified ancestor before him, and his nose suddenly stung with tears.
Impressed!
I'm so touched!
God knows how much he suffered and how much he worried about along the way!
“Ancestor…”
Beibei's voice was choked with emotion.
As expected of my own great-great-grandfather!
It's worth noting that previously, whether it was Dean Yan Shaozhe or Vice Dean Qian Duoduo...
When these two people arrived, which one listened to his opinion?
Which one of them ever took Beibei's words to heart?
Yan Shaozhe immediately accused others of being pirates and wanted to teach them a lesson, but he ended up getting arrested as well.
Qian Duoduo was even more outrageous. Despite being reminded to be more careful, he insisted on making a bet and even tried to throw money at people. In the end, he not only lost but is now in solitary confinement.
Each and every one of these cases is a story of blood and tears!
Now, finally, someone has stopped and seriously asked for his opinion!
How could Beibei not be moved by this?
Beibei took a deep breath, forcibly calming her excited emotions, and then said with a serious expression.
“Ancestor Xuan”.
"Based on my two observations, the people in this academy... all have one characteristic."
That is—to be swayed by softness, not hardness.
"Moreover, they are very concerned about the legitimacy of the name 'Shrek'."
"The previous conflicts were basically caused by our people immediately questioning whether they were pirates or by their arrogant attitude."
At this point, Beibei glanced at Old Lin beside her and said meaningfully:
"Therefore, I suggest..."
"Our attitude this time must be firm and resolute!"
"Don't put on any Shrek Academy airs, and don't bring up the issue of genuine versus pirated products right away."
Moon smiled with relief after hearing this.
Well said.
“Beibei, you’ve grown up and you’re very observant.”
"Since we're here to ask for a favor, we should naturally adopt the attitude of asking for a favor."
"Huiqun, can you hear me?"
Mu En turned to look at Elder Lin and gave him a reminder.
Although Old Lin still disagreed somewhat, feeling that Bei Bei was boosting the morale of others while diminishing her own, she could only nod since Old Mu had spoken.
"Understood, Elder Mu."
"I won't act impulsively."
After saying that, Old Lin looked around the empty square and asked somewhat impatiently.
"Beibei, where do we go to see the dean?"
Although this place looks quite novel, Old Lin does not intend to spend too much time here.
This environment, made entirely of metal, made her, a traditional soul master, feel an instinctive sense of rejection and discomfort.
Moreover, the thought of having nothing above her head and a bottomless abyss below made her feel uneasy.
I just wanted to get this done quickly and get everyone out of this godforsaken place as soon as possible.
"Here."
Beibei quickly gave directions.
“Previously, Dean Qian went to see Teacher Zhang Yang from the Enforcement Department. We should go there first, and through Teacher Zhang Yang, we should be able to contact Dean Lin Feng.”
"Alright, then lead the way."
Moon gestured for Bebe to go first.
Beibei nodded, preparing to take Old Lin and Mu En to find Zhang Yang.
however.
Just as the three of them turned around the statue, preparing to head towards the law enforcement office...
"call--"
A gentle breeze swept by.
A figure appeared out of nowhere in front of Moon and Bebe, blocking their way.
He was an old man.
He was tall and robust, with white hair and beard, yet his hair was meticulously combed.
He was wearing a dark purple robe with his hands behind his back.
When they saw the old man appear, both Beibei and Mu En felt a familiar sensation in their blood. They had never met him before, yet he felt strangely familiar.
