Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Moon: I wonder what Shrek will become after I leave

  "Shaozhe..." Moon stretched out his voice and weakly called his own disciple.

  "Hey~ Teacher, you said Shaozhe is here." Yan Shaozhe's face was extremely respectful, and he almost bent over at 90 degrees, fearing that Moon would be angry.

  "How is your recovery from the injury you suffered in Xuanming Sect?" Moon asked leisurely.

  "I have asked Master Zhuang to heal the external injuries, and you have helped to break the seal of Old Monster Xu. I have almost recovered, but Master Zhuang said that I still need to recuperate for ten days and a half months."

  Yan Shaozhe replied to Moon with a more respectful tone.

  After encountering an unprecedented humiliation in his life, he had a clearer understanding of the strength of the 98th level Super Douluo. That was a terrifying existence that could easily kill him.

  And his teacher, Dragon God Douluo Moon, was the undisputed number one powerhouse in Douluo Continent, the only Extreme Douluo in the world, and his realm was even higher than the mountains, with no end in sight.

  Even if I spend my entire life, I still don't know if I can reach the level of my teacher.

  Moon En nodded gently and said softly:

  "That's good. You are the descendant of Xuan Zi, the one who has the greatest hope of reaching my level in the academy. Your potential is much greater than that of the elders. Do you understand my expectations of you?"

  Yan Shaozhe bowed his head and nodded, clasped his hands and replied: "Disciple understands. Over the years, disciple has never slacked off in cultivation. I will definitely cultivate to the point where I can deter all the villains before Elder Xuan abdicates! Stand guard for Le Xuan and Bei Bei and the others."

  Moon En nodded slowly, and then his tone suddenly became heavier, "But Shaozhe, how many years have passed since you broke through level ninety-five and you haven't made any further progress? With your talent, this shouldn't have been the case."

  Yan Shaozhe was sweating profusely, his back was wet with sweat, his brain worked at high speed for a few times, and he said repeatedly:

  "Disciple has put too much thought on the mundane affairs of the Wuhun Department over the years, and has not been able to concentrate on retreat cultivation; but please rest assured, teacher, disciple will definitely make a breakthrough within ten years!"

  "I don't doubt this..."

  Moon said slowly, then turned to cast a helpless look at his most valued disciple, and said earnestly:

  "But Shaozhe, can the general affairs of the Wuhun Department really consume so much of your energy? I have also served as the dean of the Wuhun Department, but I have never delayed my cultivation like you.

  Did you put more energy on other things, such as fighting with Lin'er and Duoduo from the Soul Guidance Department? Hmm?"

  "This..."

  Yan Shaozhe was sweating profusely, and his lips moved a few times, but he was ultimately unable to quibble in front of his teacher. Sweat as big as soybeans appeared on his forehead, "tick", "tick" falling to the ground, which was particularly pleasing to the ears.

  In front of this wise teacher, any lie is meaningless.

  "Alas, it's also my fault for being too negligent over the years. I thought that the competition between your two departments would bring vitality, but I didn't expect that after Xuanzi had problems, I realized that the problem of the transmission of the order of the Sea God Pavilion had become so serious!"

  Moon shook his head with a painful expression, and the light soul power in his body circulated, and he stood up with all his strength.

  "Teacher, why are you doing this? I am an unfilial disciple!" Yan Shaozhe was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support Moon.

  He knew that the teacher was really serious. Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong over the years, the teacher was so sad that he was making slow progress in cultivation, how could he not panic?

  "Not only that, Shaozhe, you have to know that your martial soul is the Phoenix of Light. Light is vast, and only people with an open mind can fully exert the power of light."

  "But your character lacks a sense of magnanimity, which makes your perception and use of the light soul power always lack a step.

  If not for this, your achievements today would never stop here. Even if you couldn't break through to the realm of Elder Song, you should be at the peak of level ninety-six by now, and you will be able to break through to level ninety-seven within ten years."

  "In that case, even if you face a strong man like Xuanzi, you will be able to deal with him."

  "Don't forget, you were the number one genius of the golden generation of the academy, and you have practiced with me for many years. You have a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone, and now you are over ninety years old; but your cultivation is only comparable to Lin'er, at most slightly better."

  "In terms of the purity of cultivation, you may not even be as good as Lin'er. At least she, the Martial God Douluo, really enjoys the process of fighting and will invest a lot of effort in it."

  "Teacher, I..."

  Yan Shaozhe lowered his head even more, his shoulders shaking uncomfortably, he didn't know how to respond, he just felt the pressure was huge, even greater than the pressure of fighting a hundred thousand year old soul beast.

  "Alas... I am just saying some old words based on my experience, it's up to you to listen to them."

  Moon shook his head, looked at Yan Shaozhe deeply, and sighed.

  He didn't want to say it so bluntly, but time was running out, he could only forcefully point out Yan Shaozhe's problems as a teacher, as for how much Yan Shaozhe could understand and how much he could change, it all depended on his own understanding.

  Personality is something that has already been fixed by the time Yan Shaozhe is this age, even if he wants to change it, it can't be achieved overnight.

  After a change of mind, Moon's tone softened and he said,

  "Shaozhe, you have worked diligently over the years and trained batch after batch of outstanding talents for the college. The college can be prosperous now, and you, as the dean of the Wuhun Department, have made an indelible contribution."

  "Shaozhe feels guilty and does not deserve such praise from the teacher."

  After years of hard work being recognized, Yan Shaozhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still shook his head repeatedly.

  "But Shaozhe, part of the success of your Wuhun Department is based on your unremitting efforts to suppress the status of the Soul Guidance Department. Perhaps as the dean of the Wuhun Department, you did nothing wrong.     But you will be the leader of the Sea God Pavilion for decades or even hundreds of years, and the situation at that time cannot be limited to the gains and losses of a city or a place."

  "And in these years, as Lin'er said, you like to haggle and care too much about trivial matters; if you inherit the position of the leader of the Sea God Pavilion in the future, I'm afraid that the Soul Guidance Department may even be suppressed by you and become a vassal of the Martial Soul Department, right?"

  "Apart from anything else, there are almost no Soul Guidance Department disciples among the Shrek Seven Devils in recent years, and each of them is an elite of the Martial Soul Department; in the long run, will Shrek still have a place for the Soul Guidance Department?"

  Under Moon's scrutinizing eyes, Yan Shaozhe could not make any excuses, but just nodded, and then immediately made a guarantee:

  "Teacher, don't worry, I understand, I won't have this idea in the future, and I will relax the fight with the Soul Guidance Department and show the magnanimity of our Martial Soul Department. "

  ...I hope so..."

  Moon En stared at Yan Shaozhe, who was still looking down at the Soul Guidance Department with pity, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

  He had thought about taking advantage of the tragedy of the twelve inner courtyard disciples to let the Martial Soul Department consider making concessions to the Soul Guidance Department, but he hesitated because the Soul Guidance Department could not make high-level soul guides suitable for these inner courtyard disciples.

  It is indeed difficult for the Soul Guidance Department to come up with soul guides that can hunt and kill hundred thousand year soul beasts.

  Qian Duoduo, the vice-dean of the Soul Guidance Department, is an eighth-level half-soul guide? It's just self-consolation that he can't make a ninth-level soul guide. His actual level may not have much advantage over the eighth-level soul guides of the Three Kingdoms.

  The Soul Guidance Dean Xian Lin'er? Her title is the God of War, and in essence she is still an out-and-out soul master.

  Now looking at Yan Shaozhe's attitude, what else can he say?

  "Go ahead, think about what I said, take care of yourself, the teacher looks forward to seeing your progress..."

  Waving his hands tiredly, Moon En closed his eyes lazily, and lay back on the bench.

  "Yes. "Yan Shaozhe took small steps back, and when he approached the entrance of Poseidon Pavilion, he turned around, raised his head and walked out.

  "I wonder what Shrek will become after I'm gone... Beibei, it would have been great if you were born a few decades earlier..."

  In the Poseidon Pavilion, the aging Moon sighed deeply.

  ...

  Walking out of the Poseidon Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe spread his radiant phoenix wings, flapped his wings and soared in the loud sound of the phoenix, and passed over the Poseidon Lake like a meteor.

  Landing on the riverbank, Yan Shaozhe's eyes changed several times, and finally he made up his mind, took out a voice-transmitting soul guide from his arms, pressed a button and injected soul power.

  "Weren? I'm Yan Shaozhe." Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice.

  The voice of Du Weilun, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, soon came from the other end of the phone, "Dean Yan, it's me, do you have any instructions?"

  "There's a small thing for you to do. "

  Yan Shaozhe's eyes darkened a little, and he said in a low voice: "You now use our spies in Xuanming City to find out the awakening of the martial soul and the innate soul power of Xu Tianxi, the third son of the Xuanming Sect. "

  "Okay, Dean, what should we do after finding out? As usual, send students to bring this genius back to the academy?" Du Weilun was not surprised, and responded to Yan Shaozhe's request with ease.

  "No! If he successfully awakens the Xuanming Turtle martial soul and has a high innate soul power, then forget it, and don't worry about him.

  If he fails to awaken the Xuanming Turtle and his innate soul power is not high, you will contact the wife of the Xuanming Sect's master, that is, the Douling Empire's Princess Xue Lingxun, on my behalf, and tell her that this dean has a deal to do with her..."

  There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Du Weilun's hesitant voice sounded again, "Dean, would it be against the rules to do this? We Shrek are neutral. "

  Yan Shaozhe snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? "The dean only asked her, the eldest lady, to perform some duties of supervising the illegitimate sons. What's wrong with finding faults? I'm not asking her to kill anyone!"

  "Are the benefits of my Shrek so easy to get? Her son became one of the seven monsters, what an honor it is? These are just trivial matters.

  Anyway, I heard that the atmosphere in Xuanming Sect is not very good, and Xu Sanshi is not well received in the sect! Can he, Xu Tianxi, be more talented than Xu Sanshi?"

  Du Weilun was silent, "...Okay, dean, I understand."

  "Hurry up and do it. I'll wait for your news."

  After speaking, Yan Shaozhe hung up the phone, exhaled deeply, and felt that a lot of pressure was finally released.

  Turning his head to look in the direction of Poseidon Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe's confused eyes gradually became firm, and he murmured, "Teacher, maybe I am really like what you said, the lack of atmosphere will make the cultivation stagnate. "

  But I have always believed that the interests of me, the Wuhun system, and even Shrek must be in my own hands. If I don't vent my anger, I will be unhappy."

  "As long as I, Yan Shaozhe, am still alive, I will never allow anyone to harm the glory and interests of our Shrek, no one can!"
