Chapter 72: Wrongly blame Shrek Academy?

Chapter 72: Wrongly blame Shrek Academy?

At this moment, in the gap between the planes, after watching the scene on the screen, all the soul masters were completely dumbfounded. While they had previously considered Huo Yuhao in the original timeline somewhat cowardly—looking at him with a sense of distaste in comparison to the parallel Huo Yuhao—they could still distinguish right from wrong!

In this incident, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were victims! So logically, Shrek Academy should compensate them and severely punish Ma Xiaotao instead of now issuing threats. Wasn't it irresponsibility on Shrek Academy's part that led to the near-fatal incident involving two outer academy students?

Thus, seeing this scene unfold, many soul masters felt their opinion of Shrek Academy diminished. Why did Shrek Academy always resort to such underhanded tactics?

Du Bu Si spoke without hesitation: "It's typical of your Shrek Academy! Double standards as always! The children who go to your Shrek Academy are so unfortunate!"

Jing Hongchen quickly echoed, "That's right! This kind of thing would never happen in our establishment."

However, Xuan Zi promptly interjected, "Don't make bold claims. Your Sun Moon Imperial Academy is also a mess. Yuhao told me before that your royal family captured him and planned to execute him in secret! I don't think your academy is any better!"

Jing Hongchen was flustered: "Xuan Zi, you're slandering me!"

Xuan Zi sneered: "Just confirm if it happened or not!"

Jing Hongchen huffed, "It was an accident!"

Xuan Zi smirked: "So it's not an accident for us? And we compensated Yu Hao! What about you? Did you compensate him that time?"

[Teacher Li in white exited the scene, leaving Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong feeling somewhat unwilling. However, as the saying goes, people must bow their heads under the eaves.]

[As students of Shrek Academy now, they had to go along with the academy's arrangements. After all, children are easy to coax.]

[Although Teacher Li had frightened Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong earlier, he still provided them with some compensation.]

[At this moment, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong opened the green items in their hands. Their expressions froze for a moment before being replaced by deep joy. "Wow! I'm rich! This is the soul-ascension pill!"]

[Huo Yuhao looked at the pill in confusion, puzzled by Wang Dong's excitement. He asked, "What is the soul Ascension pill? Is it similar to the Mysterious Water Pill?"]

[Wang Dong replied, "Yes! They are of the same grade. However, the Mysterious Water Pill is more precious because it cleanses the essence and marrow. But for soul masters who have reached level 30 and have a solid foundation, the Soul Ascension pill is more useful. So this pill is very good!"]

[Huo Yuhao felt a sense of happiness as well.]

[He and Wang Dong each took one pill and soon began to absorb its effects.]

After witnessing this, in the gap between the planes, Xuan Zi remarked, "Hmph! You can see that the compensation given by our Shrek Academy is the soul Ascension pill! And both children are quite satisfied!"

Jing Hongchen responded, "Isn't that what you should do? If it weren't for Shrek Academy's poor supervision, would this even need to happen?"

Xuan Zi snapped, "What did you just say?"

He felt a surge of anger at Jing Hongchen's continuous undermining and was about to start scolding when Yan Shaozhe directly intervened.

"Master Xuan, allow me to handle this."

Then Yan Shaozhe began to speak in the chat room.

Yan Shaozhe: "President Jing is correct. This is indeed what our Shrek Academy should do. However, from this incident, we can see that our Shrek Academy places great importance on the protection and compensation of its students."

"For instance, we admit that our management was lacking, but no one is perfect. Mistakes happen, but it's crucial how one makes amends after the fact."

"And from this, you can see the sincerity of Shrek Academy."

"We directly provided the soul-raising pill as compensation to ensure the students felt secure."

Upon hearing this, the soul masters in the gap between the planes began to regain some of their goodwill toward Shrek Academy. They suddenly felt that Shrek Academy wasn't so bad after all.

As Yan Shaozhe just mentioned, no one is flawless; what matters is rectifying mistakes. In this regard, Shrek Academy seems to have done quite well. Thus, they forgave Shrek Academy.

However, at this moment, Jing Hongchen spoke up again. He was dissatisfied with Yan Shaozhe's opportunistic boasting.

He questioned, "What about your Shrek Academy threatening Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong just now? How do you explain that?"

Yan Shaozhe replied, "This was out of protection for Xiao Tao. After all, her martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, which is often targeted by evil soul masters."

"Moreover, you should have seen the scene on the screen just now. The teacher from our academy simply asked Teacher Li to 'scare' Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong."

"Even if they were to spread what happened, we wouldn't have taken action against them, but we wanted to avoid such incidents because we must also protect the personal safety of our academy's students."

Yan Shaozhe's eloquence shone through.

At this moment, he addressed all of Jing Hongchen's queries.

On the other hand, Jing Hongchen felt somewhat irked by Yan Shaozhe's replies in the chat room.

It was frustrating; this guy was just too verbose.

Jing Hongchen realized he couldn't win this debate. So, he chose to remain silent to avoid getting drawn into further entanglements with Yan Shaozhe.

In the meantime, the remaining soul masters appeared completely persuaded by Yan Shaozhe.

At this moment, the crowd of soul masters in the gap between the planes expressed a sense of enlightenment:

"So that's how it is."

"It seems that we have unjustly blamed Shrek Academy before!"
