Naturally, Yan Shaozhewho overlooked the Martial Soul Departnthad a slightly larger amount authority amongst the two Deans. However, the Soul Tool Departnt was an independent body which had a certain amount of competitiveness with the Martial Soul Departnt. Due to this, he didnt really have that much jurisdiction over the Soul Tool Departnt.
Other than the two Deans, the Martial Soul Departnt and the Soul Tool Departnt each had their own Vice-Deans who were in charge of taking care of the outer courtyard. After all, Yan Shaozhe and his counterpart in the Soul Tool Departnt focused more of their energy on the inner courtyard, as the inner courtyard was the true nucleus of Shrek Academy. Due to this, they wouldnt normally bother with matters in the outer courtyard.
The Dean of the Martial Soul Departnts outer courtyard was also the Vice-Dean of the Academy. He was a scholar who spent most of his ti on the studies of the fifth and sixth year students. He picked excellent students from the outer courtyard to beco disciples of the inner courtyard, while sending these disciples through many types of strict assessnts. However, he didnt manage many matters other than that. Other than the Dean from the outer courtyard, the person who had the greatest authority in the Martial Soul Departnt was Du Weilun.
As the Director of Studies for the outer courtyards Martial Soul Departnt, Du Weilun had an extrely large amount of authority. However, there were no competitors for his position. During his twenty years of teaching, hed conscientiously given an outstandingly large number of contributions to the Martial Soul Departnt. As a result of this, Yan Shaozhe was extrely reassured when he took charge of things, and completely trusted his judgent when it ca to the students.
Weilun, who do you favour in todays match? Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile.
Du Weilun chuckled. Im slightly more confident in Dai Huabins team. Although Huo Yuhaos team managed to defeat two other teams that were led by Soul Elder-ranked freshn, the overall strength of Dai Huabins team is definitely sowhat stronger than that of Huo Yuhaos team. This is especially so for his two teammates; theyre both quite strong. All three of them have a decent chance at entering the inner courtyard in the future.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and nodded. At that exact mont, a vigorous voice suddenly rang out, Since Director Du thinks that Dai Huabin will win, Ill say that the other party will win.
Yan Shaozhe didnt even turn around, but the trace of a smile had already appeared on his face, Qian Duoduo, whyd a fella like you co running over here? As soon as I slled the scent of copper from your body, I knew it was you.
The newcor was a sturdy fifty-or-so year-old man. He didnt have any wrinkles on his face, but he had a head full of white hair that resembled steel needles, making him look soone whod experienced a lot in life. His tall, stalwart body looked as if it had been carved from granite itself, and he was at least 2.2 ters tall. His wide shoulders and rugged muscles didnt seem to have gone limp due to his age, while his bronze skin glowed with a tallic luster due to the rays of the sun, and a strong sll of tal wafted off his body. However, the person next to him was the person that Zhou Yi had taken Huo Yuhao to see in the past; Fan Yu.
Yan Shaoze didnt even look back, but Du Weilun had already turned around, a trace of astonishnt flashing through his eyes. He hurriedly bowed in respect. Vice-Dean Qian, how do you do? What brings you here?
The good-natured Qian Duoduo who always had a smile on his face was the Vice-Dean of the Soul Tool Departnt, who took care of the daily activities within it. He had a lofty position in the Soul Tool Departnt, and he only had one person above him. His position in Shrek Academy was slightly higher than even Du Weiluns.
In Shrek Academy, promotions couldnt be randomly given out. There were two main ways to obtain a promotion: The first thod was based on a teachers ability to teach, as well as the contributions hed made to the Academy, while the other thod was by relying on ones own strength. Throughout the enormous Shrek Academy, there were only a total of four Vice-Deans, and they could be considered the true backbones of Shrek Academy. However, a person whod obtained such a high position clearly hadnt done it by doing sothing as simple as contributing to the Academy. Their individual strengths were all at the peak.
Vice-Dean Qian Duoduo chuckled. I was just passing by, when I heard you and Old Yan guessing who would win. I personally like betting, so Old Yan, would you like to bet with ?
Yan Shaozhe finally turned around, laughing as he did so. A fellow who slls of copper like you would never co here without a reason. I dont believe that youve co here with such a simple purpose in mind. If youre coveting the people from our Martial Soul Departnt, youd better take a look before doing anything.
Qian Duoduo casually walked over to Yan Shaozhe and sat down. What do you an, the people from our Martial Soul Departnt? Theyre only freshn. They havent chosen their Departnts yet. You can say that again when theyve made their final choices in their third year. Your Martial Soul Departnt just provides a foundational level of education to these freshn. So co on, do you wanna bet or not?
Du Weilun had already moved to one side, greeting Fan Yu as he did so. Fan Yu smiled in return, and the two found a place to sit behind the two Vice-Deans.
Fan Yu had an extrely high position within the Soul Tool Departnt. Although his current position was lower than Du Weiluns, Du Weilun clearly understood that Fan Yu was definitely going to be the future Vice-Dean of the Soul Tool Departnt, and that he could even be the successor to the Dean. Contrarily a Director like him was highly likely to have reached the end of his career.
Yan Shaozhe wasnt fooled by Qian Duoduos provocation. He smiled and shook his head. Im not going to bet with you. Old Qian, youre even trying to make a quick buck from . When I get back, just watch tell on you to Liner.
Qian Duoduos facial muscles twitched as he indignantly said, Give a break, you were an expert at acting shalessly even when you were young. Im more moral than you. You use Liner as a shield every ti, do you have any face at all?
As Du Weilun listened on, his heart twitched. These two major figureswho could change the entire balance of the Douluo Continentare actually arguing over here. If the students were to hear them
Yan Shaozhe chuckled as he looked at Qian Duoduos indignant expression. Fine, what do you want to bet?
Only then did a smile reappear on Qian Duoduos face. If my team wins, youll have to let pick a freshman from your Martial Soul Departnt to enter the Soul Tool Departnt within three years, and you cant stop from using any tricks.
Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly and curled his lips. I knew that you were up to no good. Im not betting.
Qian Duoduo replied with an easy-going voice, Dont be so impatient, let finish talking first. Firstly, I wont choose any of the students youve selected to be core disciples. Next, I wont choose any students who are able to cultivate above Rank 30 before finishing their second year. Is that fine with you?
Yan Shaozhe was stunned. Old Qian, do you even need to make a bet with ? Dont you take these kinds of students every year?
Qian Duoduo had a gloomy expression on his face as he said, Dont bring it up. These new fellas keep aiming so high that they dont even understand our Soul Tool Departnt. Theyve basically entirely ignored us. Weve had no lack of students over these past few years, but students whore truly suitable for our Soul Tool Departnt are rarities among rarities. You know about that plan of ours, and if we want to nurture a talent like that according to our plan, we cant do it using ordinary Soul Engineers. Its true that Soul Engineers are extrely important, but the people who can properly use them are just as important as the people who make them! Therefore, I want to choose a few students who have better martial souls. However, the fellas from your side are all following you like a chicken following a hen. Youve hidden them so well that I havent even had a chance to pick any students. If I dont get any suitable students, our plan is basically screwed. Dont forget, you also agreed to that plan during the Deans eting. If you wont support our work, then Ill just bring Liner to the Martial Soul Departnts inner courtyard next ti. Lets see if you dare to stop her.
When he saw Qian Duoduos sincere look, Yan Shaozhe pondered to himself for a while. Afterwards, he said, You wont choose any of my core disciples? And you wont choose any of our students whore able to reach Rank 30 by their second year?
Qian Duoduo imdiately assud the appearance of a righteous person, When have I, Qian Duoduo, not kept my word?
Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, Fine, Ill take that bet. In addition to that, Ill still let you choose a student even if you lose, so you cant say that Im not supporting your work. However, if you do lose, youll have to give a hundred Stationary Soul Cannon Shells for to play with if you lose. Also, they have to be high-explosive ones. Those toys are really fun to play with.
Qian Duoduos expression imdiately changed. Old Yan, youre being too black-hearted. Do you know how much it costs to make a hundred shells? I need a hundred gold soul coins to make just one of those toys.
Yan Shaozhe smiled. If you dont dare, lets call the deal off. I wasnt willing to make a bet with you in the first place.
Qian Duoduo had a pained look on his face as he replied, Fifty of them.
As if he was scared that Qian Duoduo would regret his decision, Yan Shaozhe imdiately said, Deal. How could he casually use a high-explosive shell specially made for a Stationary Soul Cannon just to satisfy himself? Even having the chance to play with one was already quite decent. Although he was the Dean of Shrek Academy, he couldnt damage his own house!
Qian Duoduo stared blankly at Yan Shaozhe. Afterwards, he looked at Yan Shaozhe with a startled look on his face. You old thing, Ive been tricked by you again!
Yan Shaozhe imdiately burst into laughter. However, he didnt notice the crafty look that had flashed through Qian Duoduos eyes.
