Chapter 2584: Provocation Strategy_1

After handling the scene, Tang Wulin scanned his surroundings and said in surprise, "Elder Ya'li, where is Elder Cai?"

They were just here moments ago, so why did they suddenly disappear...

Ya'li explained, "Elder Cai has already left for the Sea God's Pavilion ahead of us, and you should come along with me!"

Tang Wulin did not object and turned to look at his companions, "Elder Ya'li? Aren't Zheng Yu and the others going?"

Ya'li casually said, "I've already assigned them another task, let's go!"

Only then did Tang Wulin stop asking, waving to the others and saying, "Everyone, see you later then!"

Watching him leave, Yue Zhengyu turned to Yuanen Yehui and asked, "Yehui, now you can tell us, right? What did Elder Ya'li instruct us to do?"

Yuanen Yehui answered truthfully, "Elder Ya'li told us to make a trip to the inner court and meet with those Shrek Academy Inner Court students who have rushed back!"

This group of students had left the academy before the incident, thereby narrowly avoiding the calamity!

Xie Xie, with a displeased face, said, "Ah? I just want to lie in bed and rest right now. I'm already tired enough from instructing those students today!"

Ye Xinglan patted him on the shoulder, "Xie Xie, why are you so lazy? The academy is at a critical period now; we can only overcome this difficulty if we work together!"

Xu Xiaoyan agreed, "Yeah, this time the Holy Spirit Cult sent a Deacon-level evil Soul Master to gather intelligence. Next time, they will likely send Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo!"

With a sigh, Xie Xie conceded, "Alright, alright, I know. I'm just complaining a bit!"

Yuanen Yehui interrupted their conversation, "Since nobody has any objections, let's head to the inner court then!"

...

Shrek Academy Inner Court!

The inner court students were gathered there, discussing with various expressions...

"The newly built Shrek Academy Inner Court is exactly like the original one. It seems Tang Sect must have put in quite the effort!"

"Indeed, with such a large scale, the needed funds must be substantial. Tang Sect really lives up to its reputation as the power closest to our Shrek Academy!"

"That may be, but now our inner court has only a few people, sigh..."

"Yeah, if we hadn't left when the Holy Spirit Cult attacked the academy, we might also have perished at the hands of the evil Soul Masters."

One of the inner court students shook his head in confusion, "Speaking of which, why haven't the Elders come yet? We've been here for several days already!"

After entering the inner court, they had received no information and were just cultivating on their own...

It felt almost like they'd been left to fend for themselves!

Another student tried to reassure them, "Don't worry. Maybe it's because the academy is just starting to operate and there's a lot to do!"

"Besides, hasn't our inner court environment always been like this?"

In the midst of their frustration, Yue Zhengyu and the others appeared in their view...

In an instant, they attracted everyone's attention!

The inner court students exclaimed excitedly, "Look... look, those are our senior brothers and sisters known as the Shrek Seven Monsters! No... to be precise, they should be called the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion now!"

"I can't believe that in just a few years, our seniors have become Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, which means their strength must have reached at least the level of Hyper Douluo!"

"Yeah, especially Senior Brother Wulin, who has even become the Sea God Pavilion Master. He's simply my idol... Speaking of which, where is Senior Brother Wulin?"

"He must be delayed by something. But it's great that our senior brothers and sisters could come!"

As they approached, Yue Zhengyu smiled lightly and said softly, "Junior brothers and sisters, hello. Welcome back to Shrek Academy!"

Although they had been excited just moments before, when they were actually face to face, these inner court students couldn't help but swallow nervously, not sure how to address them...

"Elder... Elder??"

Yue Zhengyu's tone softened a bit, "Just call me senior; there's no need to address me as elder, after all, I'm not much older than you guys!"

Without a doubt, this statement significantly improved his impression in the minds of the inner court students...

One of the inner court students mustered up the courage to ask first, "Seniors, have you come here for something?"

Yue Zhengyu nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we came here specifically to find you guys!"

The inner court students glanced at each other, none of them discerning any clues...

It was then that Yuanen Yehui explained, "You all should know, almost all soul masters on the Continent have joined the Spirit Pagoda!"

"This has made it extremely difficult for us at Shrek Academy to recruit good teachers!"

"Therefore, based on Elder Cai's proposal, we want to train you to take on the roles of teachers for the outer courtyard students!"

The straightforward words caused the inner court students to lower their heads...

"This... this isn't appropriate, right? We haven't even graduated from the inner court yet, how are we qualified to teach the junior students from the outer courtyard!"

"Yeah, we can't even get a grip on our own cultivation, let's not delay the junior students either!"

"Honestly, isn't this a bit too exaggerated, asking us to become teachers..."

Yue Zhengyu immediately saw their lack of confidence, encouragingly he said, "Being inner court students shows that your talents are exceptional, why would you be unqualified to teach the outer courtyard's juniors?"

"Besides, becoming teachers, who's to say you won't gain insights while instructing? Right?"

Upon hearing this, the inner court students gave no response...

Xie Xie pushed Yue Zhengyu aside, smugly saying, "Zheng Yu, step aside. Watch me!"

He was the best at this kind of thing!

He provocatively said, "Well, it seems we've made a mistake about you. It seems that your entry into the inner court was all luck!"

"To be honest, I really don't know why the other elders have allowed you to come back, it's obvious that you're just burdens"

The moment these words left his mouth, Yue Zhengyu and the others widened their eyes in shock...

They never anticipated that Xie Xie would provoke in such a manner!

Yuanen Yehui tugged at his sleeve, reminding, "Xie Xie, what you said is a bit too harsh!"

Xie Xie threw her a glance and then continued, "It seems I've hit the mark, a bunch of burdens with no cultivation value, better to leave Shrek Academy sooner!"

The malicious words caused the inner court students' bodies to tremble quietly as they clenched their fists tightly...

At the same time, it also ignited the pride within their hearts...

Xie Xie's lips curled up again, "What's the matter? You still don't accept it? Then prove it to me, let me see that the Shrek Academy inner court doesn't house cowards!"

The inner court students suddenly looked up, seriously saying, "Xie Xie... Senior, though we know you're using reverse psychology, I will prove I'm not a coward!"

"I'm not one either!! Since this is the decision of the elders, why not give it a shot?!"

"After being provoked by Senior Xie Xie, a fiery fighting spirit has been ignited within me; at worst, it'll just be a bit of embarrassment!"

"That's right, Shrek Academy inner court students, none are subpar soul masters!!"
