Afterward, nobody knew which power had released the news, revealing that inner court students of Shrek Academy had been attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult!
This caused some Soul Masters within Shrek City to become apprehensive and begin to harbor doubts about Shrek Academy!
"Have you heard? The inner court students of Shrek Academy were attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult, and all were annihilated!"
"Really? With such a major incident, why hasn't Shrek Academy made an announcement?"
"Are you stupid? Shrek Academy is the strongest academy on the Continent. If they announced this embarrassing event, it would severely damage their reputation!"
"I can't believe that within such a short period of time, such a thing has happened! How can we believe that Shrek Academy has the strength to defeat the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"I was wondering why there haven't been any patrols by the inner court students of Shrek Academy recently. It turns out they have all fallen!"
Meanwhile, evil Soul Masters lurking among the crowd smirked after comparing the situation around them, clearly pleased with the success of their plot...
One of the evil Soul Masters licked his blood-red lips and cruelly said, "Good, it seems that the Soul Masters of Shrek City have started to doubt Shrek Academy. Just wait for this matter to ferment, and no one will continue to trust them!"
"Exactly, by the time we, the Holy Spirit Cult, take down Shrek Academy, we will be able to control the entire Continent, hahaha!"
"Just a Shrek Academy, I used to be so afraid of them. I never thought they were only this capable! What a disappointment!"
The current situation had all been caused by their respected Demon Emperor!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to undercut Shrek Academy so easily, making it difficult for them to move an inch!
...
At this moment, inside the Sea God's Pavilion!
Several academies and powers had already sent representatives to confirm whether the situation was true!
And as the president of the outer court, Cai Yue'er naturally had to take on the role of dealing with foreign affairs at the highest level.
Before she could speak, people from various powers eagerly asked, "President Cai, since Shrek Academy has suffered such severe damage, why hasn't it taken immediate action against the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"That's right, President Cai, can we assume that Shrek Academy has acknowledged the power of the Holy Spirit Cult and dares not confront them directly?"
"The academy turns a blind eye to the death of their students. Is this how Shrek Academy operates?"
"If it's really so, we will definitely expose the matter as it is."
Facing these voices filled with doubt and mockery, Cai Yue'er took a deep breath and said coldly, "You all should know that Shrek Academy's legacy has lasted for ten thousand years and it is absolutely not possible for us to fear the Holy Spirit Cult simply because of this setback!"
Hardly had her words fallen when a voice asked, "Then why is Shrek Academy indifferent to the death of the students? Are they even planning to conceal this incident?"
Cai Yue'er answered unfazed, "We have not announced this matter because we don't want the Soul Masters throughout Shrek City and the entire Continent to panic. As for being indifferent to the death of the students, that's completely unfounded!"
"Furthermore, the Elders and teachers of our Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion have already begun to investigate the exact location of the Holy Spirit Cult. Once we make progress, we will launch a devastating attack against them!"
"Shrek Academy will never allow evil Soul Masters to run amok! Therefore, any talk of fearing the Holy Spirit Cult is nothing but rumor!"
The confidence implied in her final statement silenced everyone who had been discussing the matter...
"We believe that Shrek Academy will not disappoint any Soul Master on the Continent. Thus, let this matter rest!"
"Hmm, we also believe that Shrek Academy will never submit to the Holy Spirit Cult! We hope everyone can continue to work together and exterminate the evil Soul Masters!"
"This must all be a plot by the Holy Spirit Cult, aiming to dissolve the trust between us. We absolutely must not let them succeed!"
"Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy!"
It was several minutes before people from the various forces finally left Shrek Academy…
It was only after witnessing this scene that Cai Yue'er finally heaved a sigh of relief…
Honestly, the current state of Shrek Academy was such that it had no confidence when facing the Holy Spirit Cult that hid in the shadows!
But doing nothing would only lead to greater misunderstandings from the outside world!
Just then, Wu Changkong approached her and asked with a puzzled tone, "Elder Cai, why do you look so pale? Could it be that other forces have come?"
Cai Yue'er cast a glance at him and replied gravely, "Yes!"
Upon hearing her word, Wu Changkong's eyes abruptly hardened as he said, "It seems that the fall of our inner court students has begun to shake the confidence of many forces!"
Cai Yue'er affirmed, "Indeed, although we've managed to pacify them for now, if something similar happens again, our Shrek Academy may no longer have a foothold."
It's unbelievable to say that the prestigious Shrek Academy could fall into dire straits due to public opinion!
Wu Changkong sighed, "Actually, there's someone who definitely knows the precise location of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Cai Yue'er's eyes narrowed, instantly understanding what he meant, "You mean... Elder Xu?"
Wu Changkong nodded, "That's right. Even though I don't know him well, his true identity and strength are surely beyond ordinary people's imagination."
Cai Yue'er forced a bitter smile, "Changkong, I've thought about this as well, but have you considered another issue?"
Wu Changkong looked puzzled and urged her, "Please speak frankly, Elder Cai..."
Upon hearing this, she simply looked up deeply into the sky, wistfully saying, "If we can think of it, the Pavilion Master surely can too, but he hasn't questioned or doubted Elder Xu to this day. This alone is enough to prove many things!"
…
Inside the duel arena, Wu Dousi looked at Xu Sheng with a confused expression and asked, "Teacher Xu, why have you brought us to the duel arena? What are you planning to do?"
Yuanen Yehui felt a shock in her heart, "Could it be a duel? But Teacher Xu should know that Wu Dousi is not a match for me!"
Xu Sheng smiled faintly and explained, "Before giving guidance, I need to understand your current strengths and weaknesses."
"That way, I can tailor my teaching to each of you!"
The revelation left the two of them with an expression of sudden realization, "So that's why!"
The next second, they turned their gaze filled with battle spirit towards each other…
Yuanen Yehui coldly said, "Since Teacher Xu has said so, I won't hold back at all. If you get hurt,"
Wu Dousi also fiercely retorted without mercy, "Same goes for you, I hope you don't lose miserably due to your own carelessness!"
The opponent was indeed stronger than her, but that didn't mean she would just surrender!
