Chapter 3106: Contradiction_1

Tang Yinmeng nodded in agreement, "Hmm, I also think Elder Ya'li makes sense. The Ghost Emperor aims to rule the entire human world. Now, having an entire empire of evil Soul Masters, he won't just sit idly in the Dou Spirit Empire!"

"Perhaps, even now, he is considering whether to strike at Soul Land or the Xingluo Empire next!"

Yuan En Zhentian also changed his usual demeanor and spoke with a serious tone, "The Ghost Emperor has broken through to God Rank. Not to mention the many evil Soul Masters under his command, he alone is far stronger than an army composed of Soul Masters!!"

"If the Soul Masters of either Soul Land or the Xingluo Empire cannot come together to face him, the likelihood of defeat is enormous!!"

The atmosphere instantly became oppressive, as if one could hear each other's breathing…

Upon observing this, Lan Muzi immediately spoke up to break the silence…

"After all, this is just our speculation. Perhaps the Ghost Emperor truly has no intention of moving against other empires. Moreover, haven't Wulin and Gu Yue already devised a way to deal with the Ghost Emperor? The more critical the situation, the more we should trust them!"

It seemed that no matter the power or the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, everyone was exceedingly wary of the Ghost Emperor who had broken through to God Rank.

Tang Yinmeng understood the former's point and patted his shoulder, teasingly saying, "Mu Zi, the last part you said makes a lot of sense. But as for the beginning, well, I can't agree. The Ghost Emperor, who thrives in chaos, will not obediently stay within the Dou Spirit Empire just waiting for his end!"

"We still need to be cautious!!"

Cai Yue'er also snapped back to reality, her face once again gleaming with confidence…

"Hmm, we are the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion. If we lose confidence, then we have already lost in terms of morale on the battlefield!!"

Just as everyone was starting to rally their courage, a student from the Shrek Outer Court hurried over…

With an anxious expression, he said, "Elders… I have an urgent matter to report!"

These words immediately garnered attention…

Elder Ya'li spoke in a very gentle voice to guide him, "Don't rush, take your time."

The former student relaxed, organized his thoughts, and then explained, "It's like this, some of the senior students from the academy's outer courtyard have been promoted to the inner court, so, they've had some conflicts with the older students!"

"The current inner court is a bit chaotic, so, I came to inform the elders as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Elder Ya'li propped up her chin, pondering, "A conflict between the inner court students and the newly promoted students? This is somewhat unexpected!"

Yuan En Zhentian crossed his arms and spoke indifferently, "I don't find it surprising. On Soul Land, almost all Soul Masters have joined the Federation and Spirit Pagoda."

"The freshmen recruited by Shrek Academy are mainly from various small sects and forces, which leads to them easily causing conflicts due to differences in personality and habits!!"

"Even we from the Yuan En Clan faced the same issue when we first joined Shrek Academy!"

Cai Yue'er frowned and proposed, "What should we do then? Shall we separate these incompatible students for individual training?? Doing so could reduce friction!"

Lan Muzi immediately objected, "No, if we separate them for training, can the inner court still be called the inner court?"

"Besides, it's just some minor friction, not yet to that extent!"

Tang Yinmeng shook her head, dismissing the idea, "It's not that simple. Whether it's from the perspective of the outer court or the inner court, there will be discontent among the students!"

"In my view, since they are all inner court students, they should prove themselves with strength. What do you think?"

Elder Ya'li's eyes brightened, and she approved, "Proving themselves with strength? That's indeed a good idea. Surely, no one can say it's unfair!!"

Cai Yue'er also affirmed, "Exactly, the inner court has always been a place where strength is revered. Whoever has the greater strength, that person will have the greater say!!"

```

"Let's do it this way: have these incompatible students step up to the ring. The loser must unconditionally follow the winner's word!"

Yuan En Zhentian paused for a moment, unable to help himself, he reminded, "But the soul power rank of the inner court students is definitely higher than that of the newly entered outer courtyard students; isn't that a bit like using one's size to bully the small?"

Tang Yinmeng glanced at him and answered, "Elder Yuan'en, we have naturally considered the issue you raised. We can simply use a soul tool to suppress the soul power rank of both parties!"

"This way, there would be no issue of disparity in soul power rank, and besides, it could also enhance their practical combat experience!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan En Zhentian immediately showed a look of surprise, "Oh? There's such a soul tool? How come I have never heard of it before?"

Tang Yinmeng still patiently explained, "It is normal for Elder Yuan'en to be unaware. In most cases, this type of soul tool is not activated since soul power rank is a part of one's strength after all!"

Yuan En Zhentian also nodded in understanding, "I see, if that's the case, then there is no problem!"

Cai Yue'er withdrew her gaze, "Since all the Elders see no issue, then let's proceed in this way!"

The student who had been standing on the side, not daring to interrupt, now bowed with his hands clasped and said, "Yes, Elder Cai, I will go and notify the teachers right away!"

Having said that, he quickly left...

...

Inner Court!

The students present were divided into two groups: one consisted of the older-year outer courtyard students who had just entered the Inner Court, and the other was the Inner Court students themselves!

Their noisy chatter could faintly be heard...

"Hmph, so what if you are Inner Court students? Does that mean we have to listen to everything you say?"

"That's right, that's right; we are all Inner Court students, why should you get to decide? It's not fair!!"

"Although we've just entered the Inner Court, we're also Inner Court students. What we want to do is our own business and has nothing to do with you!"

"Hmph, nothing to do with us? Such arrogance. After all, we are your seniors, and you dare speak to us in that tone!!"

"That's right, being Inner Court students, we naturally have the responsibility to mentor our juniors, and even the Elders shouldn't have a say!"

"But to challenge us so disrespectfully when you've just joined the Inner Court? It seems like you do not wish to stay any longer!"

"If it weren't for the rule against fighting in the Inner Court, you would be crying out for your parents by now!"

At that moment, one of the teachers walked to the center and said coldly, "Everyone, be quiet. According to the orders of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, you will resolve this conflict yourselves!"

As soon as these words were said, the Inner Court students immediately became excited...

Their soul power was generally higher, and dealing with some rookies who had just joined the Inner Court would be a breeze!

However, the teacher seemed to sense something and added, "But there is one condition!"

"Your duel must take place on the arena, and you will rely on a soul tool to suppress the soul power rank of both parties, ensuring fairness in terms of soul power rank!"
