Chapter 81 Abolish the Elimination Penalty! A Super Reward is Given! Dark World Soul Master: It still has to be Elder Bai Xuan!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the underworld was exceptionally heavy.
Having just witnessed firsthand the scene of Hei Huo Yuhao being ruthlessly suppressed by Du Weilun after winning the freshman competition...
The Soul Masters of the Underworld now experience a physiological aversion and fear whenever they hear the words "Newcomer Competition".
"No way... Is White Shrek Academy about to start a major purge?"
A Soul Master who had been forced to quit by Black Shrek Academy because of his low ranking was now pale-faced, his fingers unconsciously gripping the stone pillar beside him.
This fear of being dominated by the competition has been deeply ingrained in his bones.
"If White Shrek were to indiscriminately expel people under the guise of 'elite education' like Black Shrek, then there would be no hope for this world."
A few worried whispers rippled through the crowd. Clearly, the negative image that Black Shrek had previously cultivated had caused people to develop severe PTSD regarding the word "assessment."
But just as this pessimistic mood was spreading, an older, independent soul master who had been observing coldly snorted, interrupting everyone's worries.
"Are you all confused? This is White Shrek, not that rotten-to-the-roots Black Shrek!"
He stood up, pointed at the sky, and loudly retorted, "There are essentially only two reasons why Black Shrek conducts large-scale eliminations:"
"Firstly, it's because they are poor; they simply don't have enough resources to support so many students."
"Secondly, it's because their teachers are incompetent and can't teach students with average talent."
"But does White Shrek have these two fatal problems?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all realized what was happening.
"That's right! With Lord Bai Xuanzi overseeing things at White Shrek Academy, Soul Ascension Pills are given out like candy, and resources are overflowing enough to provide every student with a Soul Spirit."
"As for teaching ability, he can even cure mutated evil fire, so what can't he teach well?"
The group of Soul Masters then seemed to wake from a dream, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"That's right, Lord Bai Xuanzi would never do something like severing his own foundation."
"Let's keep watching. The rules of White Shrek Academy are definitely different from ours!"
...
Within the celestial canopy, the story of the White World is slowly unfolding.
Inside the classroom, Bai Zhouyi stood on the podium, calmly explaining the details of the freshman competition to the students.
She explicitly stated that this competition will adopt a points system. The outcome of each match will be converted into corresponding points, which will serve as an important indicator for measuring the students' progress in their learning.
However, even after Bai Zhouyi finished explaining the entire process, she never mentioned anything about "punishment" or "elimination."
This attitude of focusing solely on competition while ignoring expulsion raised some doubts among the students of Bai Shijie.
Just then, a student sitting in the front row, who had a rather serious personality, raised his hand.
"Teacher Zhou, may I ask you a question?"
Bai Zhouyi smiled and nodded: "Just say it. In the class, any reasonable question deserves to be answered."
The student stood up, glanced nervously at his classmates, and then asked earnestly, "Teacher, I previously looked through some history books about Shrek Academy in the library."
"The book records that many years ago, the freshman competition was extremely brutal, with the bottom half of the freshmen being expelled. Does this rule still exist?"
Upon hearing this, the classroom in the white world instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The trainees, who had been discussing tactics, all stopped what they were doing, their eyes revealing intense tension and unease.
Even Bai Huoyuhao subconsciously softened his breathing at this moment.
Seeing this, the Soul Masters of the Underworld held their breath, and the shared tension made Shrek City quiet.
Facing the students' terrified gazes, Bai Zhouyi did not show any sternness.
She first gently pressed her palm down, gesturing for the student to sit, then spoke in an extremely gentle yet firm voice.
"The rule you saw did indeed exist."
Bai Zhouyi sighed and said frankly, "Many years ago, before Elder Xuan took over the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy did indeed follow that ruthless 'last-place elimination' competition rule."
"Every freshman competition eliminates more than half of the trainees, due to the historical limitations of the time."
"But the moment Xuan Lao ascended to power and ushered in an era of order, he personally abolished this rule."
Bai Zhouyi looked at the students below the stage and said, word by word, "Elder Xuan once said in front of everyone at the Sea God Pavilion meeting that every child who can be admitted to Shrek Academy is a treasure of the plane. The academy's responsibility is to teach and nurture, not to select and discard."
"If a teacher can only teach geniuses, then what's the point of having a teacher?"
"Therefore, White Shrek Academy doesn't have a 'disqualification' rule at all. As long as you don't break the law or violate moral principles, the academy will be responsible for each and every one of you until graduation."
"You can all participate in the competition with confidence. The purpose of the freshman competition is to help you identify your weaknesses during the competition so that the teachers can provide more targeted guidance later."
Upon hearing these words, the students of the White World erupted in enthusiastic cheers, a huge weight lifted from their hearts.
...
When this scene reached the underworld, countless Soul Masters immediately teared up.
"Did you all hear that? This is the magnanimity of Lord Bai Xuanzi!"
"'Every child is a treasure of this dimension,' 'If we can only teach geniuses, what's the use of teachers?'… These two sentences are like a direct slap in the face to the higher-ups at Black Shrek!"
The Soul Masters of the Underworld were filled with mixed emotions.
In the eyes of Hei Xuanzi and Du Weiren, low talent is a "waste of resources";
But in Bai Xuanzi's eyes, failing to teach students well is a dereliction of duty for a teacher.
"Elder Bai Xuan is truly my idol. This kind of educational philosophy is what makes it worthy of being called the 'Number One Academy for Ten Thousand Years'."
"In comparison, our Shrek Academy here is really just a private processing plant disguised as an academy. It only accepts good materials and throws away the inferior ones as garbage."
"Sigh, there's no comparison, there's really no comparison."
...
However, the shock that the Sky Curtain brought to the dark world was far from over.
After calming the students down, Bai Zhouyi tapped on the podium again.
"Now that we're no longer worried about being fired, let's talk about the topic everyone's most interested in—rewards."
Bai Zhouyi's expression brightened: "Elder Xuan has prepared extremely generous rewards for this freshman competition to encourage everyone to continuously break through their limits in an orderly competition."
[The teams that win the top three spots in the competition will receive the following rewards:]
"First, the reward is a Martial Soul Pill."
"Secondly, the reward is a ferocious beast bone."
"Thirdly, Elder Xuan will reward you with self-created soul skills tailored specifically for you."
"Of course, not everyone who places in the top three will receive a reward. As long as everyone performs well and shows their talent, regardless of the final ranking, everyone has a chance to receive three Soul Ascension Pills."
Tianmu's voice fell again.
Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words from within the celestial canopy, the soul masters of the entire dark world were once again shocked.
