Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 285 Old Master Song: I've succeeded!

"Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" had already caused a huge upheaval in the Douluo Continent. According to the text, the three most powerful Limit Douluos in the world were actually all from the Evil Soul Master faction.

Moreover, the three Limit Douluos each represent two powerful forces.

The Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek Academy.

The Holy Spirit Cult is alright. Even though evil spirit masters often cause trouble on the continent, it is only the Holy Spirit Cult and cannot be an enemy of the entire continent.

But Shrek Academy...

Shrek Academy, which has enjoyed a prestigious reputation in the world of Soul Masters for thousands of years, has in this era been controlled by a coward who succumbed to the charms of an evil Soul Master, and has done countless shameful things for the Holy Spirit Cult over the past hundred years.

A hundred years!

An ordinary person's life is only a hundred years long. In this long period of time, how many people have lost their lives because Shrek aided and abetted evil?

Do they deserve to die? Do they have to become nourishment for evil spirit masters to become stronger because of your personal feelings for Mu En?

You, Mu En... how can you face the hundreds of millions of people on Douluo Continent?!

The publication of the book "Like-Minded People" amplified the public's dissatisfaction with Shrek Academy, their resentment towards Moon, and their deep fear of Shrek's corrupt leadership.

On the surface, Shrek is a great hero who leads the three great empires to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire. But behind the scenes, Shrek uses his bright and noble image to constantly seek his own interests and help the wicked!

Shrek City, which was already almost deserted, became even more lifeless. As one of the most prosperous cities on the continent, Shrek City's permanent population was not much less than that of Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

It's important to understand that the population size of a semi-modern city is completely different from that of an ancient city. Shrek City already has the advantage if it can have a population close to that of Mingdu.

Now, Shrek City is almost deserted, with closed doors, discarded furniture, and various useless household items scattered everywhere.

All the useful things were taken away by those who left, while the remaining household garbage was carelessly discarded by those who left in a hurry.

Anyway... I'm not coming back.

With its upper echelons corrupt and its strongest members aiding and abetting evil spirit masters, no one dares to continue living here.

Shrek City's reputation, which was already plummeting, has now been dealt an even worse blow.

Not only is Shrek City nearly deserted, but students at Shrek Academy are also leaving at an alarming rate. And this process continues, with the number of those leaving still increasing.

As for your question, why didn't Shrek Academy try to stop them from leaving?

How to stop it?

Force them with power?

That would only make Shrek Academy's reputation utterly ruined. If Shrek Academy lets things take their course, there will still be a group of die-hard Shrek fans who remain loyal to Shrek.

In this situation, if they handle it properly and slowly restore their reputation, there is still a chance for things to turn around.

After all, the damage to their reputation is only temporary. As long as the hidden dangers are resolved, with the resources and foundation of Shrek Academy, they still have a chance to climb back to their original position, or even go further.

Ancient books, numerous powerful figures, golden trees, and so on are all part of their foundation. As long as these conditions remain, they will always have a chance to rise again.

However, if they resort to forceful detention and coercion, there is a risk that Shrek Academy could become the second Holy Spirit Cult, facing attacks from the entire continent. Old Song understood this principle very well.

With Mu En not yet back, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe imprisoned at the bottom of the Golden Tree, and Shrek Academy leaderless, she and Lin Huiqun strongly advocated a gentle, appeasement-oriented policy towards the outside world.

Not only would they not force them to stay in Shrek City and Shrek Academy, but they would also send each person an apology letter when they left.

Essentially, it's an internal problem for Shrek Academy, caused by the actions of certain high-ranking members. It has nothing to do with the entire Shrek Academy. We are deeply sorry for the corruption within Shrek Academy and will deal with those hidden dangers as soon as possible, so that Shrek Academy can return to the light.

It must be said that Old Song's approach was actually quite effective, at least to a certain extent greatly restoring Shrek Academy's reputation.

How could a force that has developed to the level of Shrek Academy be without any problems?

Old Master Song has now adopted this attitude, not only lowering his stance and taking the initiative to apologize, but also stating that he will definitely deal with the problems at Shrek Academy.

An apology has been made, and an attitude has been shown. Isn't that better than the idiots who, after their misdeeds are exposed, only try to cover it up and lower the trending topics, or deny it to the death, or even try to play the victim on live stream?

Therefore, although the people from Shrek Academy left, they were ultimately not disappointed in Shrek Academy and still had faith in them.

I'm leaving because I'm afraid of dying. I'm afraid of being sent to be used as a dumpling by evil spirit masters for no reason. But even though I'm afraid of dying, I believe that Shrek Academy can definitely solve this problem! When the time comes, Shrek Academy will still be the number one academy in our Douluo Continent!

Mr. Song was all smiles after the marketing success.

The timing of the release of "Like-Minded People" was just perfect; it made Mr. Song want to pop some champagne.

She had originally intended to take this opportunity to challenge Mu En, but she was troubled by not being able to handle her daughter. However, now that this book, "Fellow Paths," had been published, it not only proved that Yan Shaozhe was a descendant of an evil soul master, but also clearly explained the relationship between Yan Shaozhe and the evil soul master Feng Ling.

When Old Song brought the book "Fellow Paths" to find Xian Lin'er, he saw her from afar, burying her face in her hands and sobbing on the table in front of her.

The filter of first love was completely shattered, and Xian Lin'er even turned her love into hatred, deeply hating Yan Shaozhe, who was not only a Shrek cancer with the blood of an evil soul master, but also had an affair with an evil soul master.

Old Song didn't say much, only slightly indicating his intention to take action against the Mu En faction, to eliminate these cancers and restore Shrek Academy to its pure state, and Xian Lin'er immediately agreed.

"Mother, don't worry, I am your daughter, and I grew up in Shrek Academy. This is my home, and I will not allow anyone to destroy our home!" Xianlin'er said in a hoarse but firm voice, her eyes red and bloodshot.

Old Song was overjoyed, exclaiming that his daughter had finally come to her senses.

She had never approved of Xianlin'er and Yan Shaozhe's relationship, but her daughter was so fixated on Yan Shaozhe that she was completely helpless.

Now, not only has he convinced Xianlin'er to stand on his side, but he has also made her completely give up on Yan Shaozhe.

Double happiness!

Daoist Master... oh no, Daoist Madam, I've succeeded!
