Chapter 295: The True Face of Zhou Yi, Jiang Nan Nan's No Other Choice
What kind of operation is this!!
In the live broadcast room, when people saw that Shrek Academy not only refused to help Jiang Nan Nan, but also suggested that she sell herself to the Xuanming Sect in exchange for the Xuanwu Divine Pill, many were immediately enraged.
From previous broadcasts, it was evident that Shrek Academy held a status on the continent that could rival the current Spirit Hall.
Therefore, Shrek Academy was fully capable of helping Jiang Nan Nan. They could easily obtain a Xuanwu Divine Pill from the unknown Xuanming Sect.
For this, Shrek Academy would have only owed the Xuanming Sect a small favor and spent a few tens of thousands of gold soul coins.
Given Jiang Nan Nan's talent, she would eventually be able to repay Shrek Academy for those tens of thousands of gold soul coins in the future.
As for the favor...
If Shrek Academy had helped her, Jiang Nan Nan would have sworn eternal loyalty to them and would have risked her life to repay the favor.
But to think Shrek Academy would make Jiang Nan Nan sell herself?
What is this nonsense?
Such a Shrek Academy doesn't deserve to be a Soul Master Academy!
At least from the perspective of the people from Spirit Hall, in the future of this broadcast, Shrek Academy will have replaced their position in the continent, but they have not inherited the grandeur of the Spirit Hall. It is laughable!
However, upon seeing this, Lin Yu only sneered a few times and felt no surprise.
Looking at the entire Douluo series, aside from Spirit Hall, which could barely be considered a Soul Master force composed of commoners, all the other forces could be seen as alternative aristocratic powers.
For aristocrats, commoners, aside from being objects of exploitation, had no real value.
This was all determined by the logic behind the generation of the martial souls.
Because martial souls are inherited through bloodlines.
At first, things might be okay, but after a few generations, any Soul Master with even a little strength could form a Soul Master family.
Once a Soul Master family is established, even if the person originally came from a common background, they would be considered part of the new Soul Master aristocracy.
Only Spirit Hall, because it had always recruited commoner Soul Masters, had a group led by the commoner class.
That's why Spirit Hall could barely be considered a Soul Master force made up of commoners.
But in Ultimate Douluo, although Shrek Academy inherited Spirit Hall's position on the continent, it had not fully embraced the responsibilities Spirit Hall had.
Without recruiting commoner Soul Masters from the entire continent, Shrek Academy naturally became an aristocratic Soul Master force over time.
This may not be immediately obvious, but from the original novel in Ultimate Douluo, the behavior of the teacher Zhou Yi reveals the true face of Shrek Academy.
In the original novel of Ultimate Douluo, from Huo Yuhao's perspective, Zhou Yi may seem like a good teacher because she treated him very well.
But from an objective and thorough standpoint, if we examine Zhou Yi's behavior, it's clear she abused her power and had no consideration for commoner Soul Masters, acting arrogantly with her eyes set high.
Because in the original novel of Ultimate Douluo, Zhou Yi made her students run one hundred laps around the Shrek Academy square at the beginning of the school year!
One hundred laps!
If the students came from good backgrounds, it might have been fine.
But for those from less privileged backgrounds, Ultimate Douluo doesn't have a system like Spirit Hall's Soul Master subsidies.
For commoner Soul Masters, without subsidies, many of them may struggle even to get enough meat in their diet.
There's no way they could have a strong physique!
And without a strong physique, it's impossible to finish those one hundred laps!
But Zhou Yi didn't consider the hardships of commoner Soul Masters, or perhaps she just didn't care.
For those who couldn't finish, she would expel them without hesitation!
This created a high success rate in Zhou Yi's class.
But isn't this ridiculous?
You expel the underperforming students, and of course, the remaining ones will be the better ones. Isn't that just high success rates?!
And yet, Zhou Yi thinks she's a great teacher! Lin Yu can only express his disgust.
Every year Zhou Yi does this, Lin Yu doesn't know how many potential commoner Soul Masters she has harmed.
But Shrek Academy never did anything about it!
Lin Yu doesn't believe Shrek Academy wasn't aware of this.
It just shows that, to Shrek Academy, compared to Zhou Yi, who is the wife of Fan Yu, the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, commoner Soul Masters are nothing!
What makes Lin Yu laugh even more is how Huo Yuhao looks up to Zhou Yi so much.
But if Huo Yuhao weren't the Son of Destiny, and hadn't accidentally consumed the Xuan Shui Pill, he would probably have already been kicked out of Zhou Yi's so-called entrance test!
The fact that Shrek Academy could produce someone like Zhou Yi and still call her a "famous teacher" shows what Shrek Academy really is!
In the original novel, Zhou Yi was able to expel commoner Soul Masters who had worked hard just to get into Shrek Academy, all for her success rate.
So it's no surprise that Shrek Academy would ignore the desperate pleas of Jiang Nan Nan, one of their core disciples, and make her sell herself to the Xuanming Sect in exchange for favor.
After all, in Shrek Academy's eyes, commoners are nothing!
In the live broadcast, after Shrek Academy refused to help Jiang Nan Nan, although she strongly resisted the idea of selling herself to the Xuanming Sect due to her strong sense of self-esteem, she had no other choice but to return home, like a walking corpse, and forced a smile as she told her mother she had found a way to treat her condition, but she would have to leave for a while.
Then, Jiang Nan Nan set off to the Xuanming Sect.
Afterwards, the camera transitioned to the Xuanming Sect.
Through the conversation between the sect leader and the elders of Xuanming Sect, everyone also learned about the Xuanming Sect's situation.
Xuanming Sect is a hidden sect, inheriting the Xuanming Tortoise Shield Martial Soul.
Within Xuanming Sect, there is a secret rule: direct male descendants who have the Xuanming Tortoise Shield Martial Soul must undergo a special awakening ceremony before the age of fifteen.
This awakening is crucial for all Xuanming Tortoise Shield Soul Masters.
Once completed, their martial soul could evolve into the Xuanwu Shield Martial Soul.
However, the condition for this awakening is difficult to speak of—it requires the use of a young girl's virginity to trigger it.
For the girl chosen for the ceremony, the Xuanming Sect judges her appearance, talent, and age.
Recently, as the son of the sect leader, Xu Sanshi, was approaching fifteen years old, the Xuanming Sect began searching for the best candidate for the ceremony.
