After hearing the conversation between Xuan Lao and Xu Sanshi on the screen,
the soul masters within the dimensional rift all felt this was utterly absurd.
After all, anything concerning Shrek Academy's Inner Court had always been confidential.
Every student was required to keep silent about it.
So on the entire Douluo Continent, not many people actually knew the truth about Shrek Academy's Inner Court.
Now hearing Xuan Lao say this on the screen…
Of course the soul masters in the dimensional rift felt it was outrageous.
One by one, their eyes widened as they stared at the screen.
And on the screen—
[Xuan Lao continued speaking, his voice clearly carrying an aged heaviness: "They were all good children. Although they were never able to officially graduate, their names have always remained in the academy's records. They took the academy's ideals as their own. They did not lack the strength to graduate—rather, they died in battle for the academy's ideals!"]
Jing Hongchen: "?????"
"Died in battle? What kind of nonsense is this?"
"They're students, not soldiers. Shrek is an academy, not a military camp. What 'died in battle' are you talking about?"
"Is that old fossil Xuan Lao just spouting nonsense now?"
Jing Hongchen was the first to speak up.
Immediately after, more voices of agreement appeared in the chat.
Kong Deming: "This is indeed absurd. This is the first time I've heard of someone dying in battle while attending school!"
"This is really like using a small knife to slice open my butt—eye-opening!"
Xu Jiawei: "Everyone, calm down first. There might be some hidden reason behind this. Let's keep watching."
Du Bu Si: "What hidden reason? Anyway, this is the first time I've ever heard of students dying because they were studying. I'm very curious how Xuan Lao plans to explain this."
They all kept watching the screen.
At that moment, the screen continued playing—
[Xuan Lao continued: "Many Outer Court students already met the strength requirement to enter the Inner Court, but quite a few chose to leave after graduating from the Outer Court. Because joining the Inner Court isn't just about learning more or getting better teachers. It also means taking on a heavy responsibility. Those who choose not to enter the Inner Court believe themselves unqualified to bear this responsibility, so after swearing to keep everything secret, they leave."]
["The academy respects every student's choice. But what I want to say is this: every student who chooses to join the Inner Court has true courage. They are not cowards. They are heroes—not just heroes of the academy, but heroes of the entire Douluo Continent."]
Du Bu Si: "Heh… this old guy. Wants to be a whore while pretending to be a saint."
"He just finished mocking the students who didn't join the Inner Court as being 'not strong enough,' and then immediately says the academy respects all choices. Isn't that contradicting himself?"
"And then he claims those who join the Inner Court 'aren't cowards,' they 'have courage.'"
"What now? Anyone who doesn't join Shrek's Inner Court is a coward with no courage?"
"This old man really knows how to twist his words."
[Xuan Lao said solemnly: "It cannot be denied that once you became reserve disciples, one of your feet had already stepped into the Inner Court. Because of that, before I truly take you all beyond Shrek Academy, I must confirm whether you're willing to bear the responsibility of the Inner Court. If you are unwilling, you may turn back now—no one will blame you."]
["But I must tell you that you would be giving up an opportunity. The reason Inner Court disciples are strong is inseparable from this responsibility."]
["Again, the academy will not force you. If you do not dare, then after hearing the truth, all you need to do is swear to keep it secret. Can you do that?"]
[Huo Yuhao and the others immediately shouted: "We can!"]
[Seeing this, Xuan Lao nodded with satisfaction. Then he continued: "The Douluo Continent was originally vast. After its collision and fusion with the Sun Moon Continent, it became even larger. Among the four great empires, the Sun Moon Empire has the largest territory and rich mineral resources. But no matter how many thousands of years have passed, they are still outsiders in the eyes of the other three empires. They will never be truly accepted. This leads to mutual hostility."]
["Although there hasn't been a large-scale war on the main continent, conflicts are constant. If it were ordinary people fighting, even if something happened, the destruction would be limited. But if soul masters are involved, it is completely different."]
["Not all soul masters are good people. Many, because their power is strong, become arrogant, believing themselves unrivaled, even developing evil thoughts. These people bring tremendous harm to ordinary people. Evil soul masters committing atrocities is nothing new. And usually, the more talented and powerful the soul master, the more terrifying they become once they take the evil path."]
["Once, there was a case where a Soul Emperor slaughtered an entire village simply because he didn't like the food. Why? Because soul masters possess abilities far beyond ordinary people, with no supervision or restraint."]
[At this point, Xuan Lao's voice suddenly grew powerful: "Shrek Academy has never claimed to be righteous, but we absolutely cannot just sit by and watch tragedies happen. So, about six thousand years ago, the academy began dividing into the Outer Court and the Inner Court."]
["To outsiders, this division appears to be simply based on strength, or even unfair to Outer Court students—because many think the best teachers are in the Inner Court. But that is not true. The pressure and responsibility borne by the Inner Court are things Outer Court students cannot imagine. And this responsibility… is called supervision!"]
[As he continued, Xuan Lao's emotions grew more intense: "You must be wondering—supervision? Supervision of what? We do not supervise all injustice across the continent—that's impossible. The Douluo Continent is too vast. The combined population of the four great empires is countless. Even in Shrek City alone, the permanent population plus travelers reaches five million."]
["And we Inner Court disciples are only so many. It is impossible to manage everything. So the only thing we can supervise… is soul masters. We target individuals, even officials—but never nations."]
