Chapter 108: Public opinion storm, Ma Xiaotao's suspicion of Shrek

"So, what's the point of that selection competition?"

"The great god Ling Shuang was taken advantage of and excluded, and the other qualifiers withdrew one after another. The academy is making a fool of itself, isn't it?"

"That's right, if that's the case, then why do we still have this core disciple selection competition? Can't we just arrange the people privately?"

The news that Jiang Nannan and other successful qualifiers withdrew from the selection competition quickly spread throughout the academy under the promotion of a young master who did not intend to swallow his anger.

It caused an uproar for a while, and many students could not help but question the fairness of the academy's top management.

Especially those junior students, their reaction was the most intense. After all, they were all people who had just entered Shrek Academy not long ago, and their thinking had not been affected too much.

Ning Tian, the initiator, was quite satisfied with this result.

For the sake of the overall situation of the sect, she could not turn against Shrek Academy, but it was okay to disgust those shameless top management.

After all, she did not do anything to deliberately discredit, but just spread the facts truthfully.

...

Dean's Office

"Teacher, I don't understand!"

Ma Xiaotao walked into the room angrily and slapped the table in front of Yan Shaozhe.

This was the first time she was so angry in front of this teacher.

Yan Shaozhe was not surprised by her arrival.

He slowly closed the file in his hand: "Xiaotao, what's the matter?"

Ma Xiaotao didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly: "Teacher, is it true that almost all the candidates for the next Shrek Seven Devils in the academy have been replaced?"

Yan Shaozhe said nothing, just nodded slightly.

"Why?" After getting the teacher's confirmation, Ma Xiaotao finally couldn't control her emotions.

"Hasn't the standard for selecting the Seven Devils in our academy always been strength first? Can the new people be better than Ling Shuang?"

Ma Xiaotao didn't learn about the people who were replaced, but she didn't believe they would be more amazing than Ling Shuang.

If that was the case, don't go to the next class, just replace them and go to participate in the All-Continent High-level Soul Master Competition.

"Xiaotao, things are not that simple." Yan Shaozhe smiled bitterly.

He also didn't understand why the teacher did this.

Even if Ling Shuang is indeed not useful to the academy, if such a genius can be won over by the name of the Seven Devils, even if it is just to get him a little closer to the academy, it will be of great benefit, right?

This is the difference between Yan Shaozhe and Mu En's ideas.

Yan Shaozhe cares about benefits. In his opinion, everything should be based on the maximization of benefits.

In addition to benefits, Mu En also values the so-called glory of Shrek.

He believes that people like Ling Shuang, who have a mysterious background but are not close to Shrek, can join the inner courtyard, but cannot become the Shrek Seven Devils.

Although he is trying his best to ease the situation, he cannot guarantee that the relationship between Ling Shuang and Shrek will be friendly. What if they stand on the opposite side at that time, and it is reported that the former Shrek Seven Devils are opposed to Shrek Academy, wouldn't it be a joke, making Shrek Academy a laughing stock of all major forces?

Let the glory of Shrek Academy be damaged?

Without Ling Shuang's twenty-day cultivation in the Golden Ancient Tree, Mu En would not take any action because he did not want to offend him and the mysterious family of gods behind him.

But Ling Shuang's twenty-day cultivation in the Golden Ancient Tree undoubtedly gave Mu En a legitimate reason.

At least it sounded a more legitimate reason.

So he made a decision and took this opportunity to "reasonably" exclude Ling Shuang.

Of course, Mu En also observed Ling Shuang and felt that he should not care about the so-called Shrek Seven Devils before he finally made a decision.

He also considered that Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiuer would withdraw because of this, but Mu En did not consider that Ning Tian, Wang Donger, and others would also withdraw.

All the qualifiers selected at the beginning withdrew voluntarily.

The development of things into this state was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Dragon God Douluo.

The Sea God Pavilion actually held an emergency meeting after the public opinion appeared.

After discussion, the final result was: send people to suppress the public opinion of the academy and deal with this matter coldly.

At this time, if the academy suddenly changes its mind and invites Jiang Nannan and others back, doesn't it mean that they are indeed wrong?

This won't do. This is also related to the glory of Shrek.

As the first academy on the continent, how could they be wrong?

So they made this decision in the end.

In this way, they believe that as time goes by, this matter will be forgotten. At that time, they will still be authoritative and will not do anything wrong!

"Why is it not so simple?" Ma Xiaotao couldn't understand what teacher Yan Shaozhe said.

"Teacher, then tell me why, is there any reason for Ling Shuang to be excluded?"

Facing Ma Xiaotao's question, Yan Shaozhe was speechless.

He couldn't say that this was because his teacher, the head of the Sea God Pavilion, felt that Ling Shuang might destroy the glory of Shrek and made this decision, right?

He couldn't understand this kind of thing, how could he expect Ma Xiaotao, a girl who had a crush on Ling Shuang, to understand it?

But the one who made this decision was his teacher, and even as the dean of the Wuhun Department, he couldn't change it.

Yan Shaozhe could only answer vaguely: "This is the decision made by the academy after comprehensive consideration. Xiaotao, don't worry about it."

"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe didn't wait for Ma Xiaotao to react. With the flash of white light, he disappeared instantly.

As a Soul Emperor, how could Ma Xiaotao stop Yan Shaozhe, a Super Douluo, from leaving?

Looking at the dean's position without a figure in front of her, Ma Xiaotao pursed her red lips tightly, and her scarlet eyes were full of confusion.

The decision of the academy and the teacher's vague explanation made Ma Xiaotao not only stand up for Ling Shuang at the beginning.

She has begun to doubt now, just like those junior students.

Is the academy really as just and bright as she imagined in the past?

No one told her the answer.

Years of academy education and rational thinking are like two hostile knights fighting in Ma Xiaotao's mind.

...

At this time, Ling Shuang, who was still practicing in the golden ancient tree, did not know what was happening in the outside world.

He was in a critical period of practice at this time.

As his connection with the ancient golden tree deepened and his understanding of the laws of life improved, he could feel the changes that were about to happen in his body.

As long as he crossed that barrier, he would gain a lot!

"So, let's get started!"

Concentrating his mind and breathing, he was fully focused. The green mark on Ling Shuang's forehead was already clear.

He began to try to break through that barrier with all his strength!
