Chapter 179 Shrek Academy Is Facing the Risk of Closure
In the hall of Shrek Academy, there was a dead silence.
This dilapidated wooden building had long been in a state of decline, and the cracks on the walls and the dust on the windows revealed a decadent atmosphere.
In the center of the hall, there were some documents and account books on a rectangular table, but no one paid attention to them.
Zhao Wuji and others sat on one side of the table, with heavy faces and dull eyes.
They were the faculty members of Shrek Academy and the elites of the soul master world, but at this moment they had no dignity and confidence.
They all knew that the academy was facing an unprecedented crisis, and they were powerless.
At the main seat of the table, sat a man in a black robe. He was the principal of Shrek Academy, Flanders.
The old owl still wore the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which reflected white light, making it difficult to see his eyes.
There was no expression on his face, like an indifferent statue.
Almost everyone in Shrek Academy gathered here, and Dean Flanders had something important to announce.
The little Shrek monsters were all infected by the solemn atmosphere and dared not speak. Tang San and Ma Hongjun were in low spirits, while Oscar looked at the principal with a worried look.
At this moment, Flanders suddenly spoke, his voice cold and heavy:
"Dear teachers, dear students, I have an important announcement."
"Our Shrek Academy is about to be closed down."
This sentence, like a flash of lightning, illuminated the entire hall and cut everyone's heart.
Everyone was stunned, and no one could believe their ears.
"The funds of the academy have bottomed out. Too many things have happened in the past few months, as you know."
Recalling one thing after another, Flanders' heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
The academy has not received new funds for a long time, and he has to worry about food, clothing, housing and teachers' salaries every day.
He couldn't even imagine whether the students of the academy could continue to practice without the extra money he earned in the war.
With the training method of Master Yu Xiaogang, without the support of Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong who had already joined the Small Samsara Academy, Shrek Academy quickly exhausted almost all the funds, including the master's small treasury.
To make the situation worse, after the war, Flanders, who had planned to use the various profit-making methods of the fighting spirit field to form a team battle, suddenly discovered that Dai Mubai, one of the two cores of the strong attack system, who was an important part of his plan, was actually squatting.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood at the time. He couldn't figure out why Dai Mubai was caught on the spot. Didn't his teaching always explain the importance of keeping a way out?
The previous farce made Flanders' hope of getting Dai Mubai out as soon as possible fall through.
At this time, the old owl had only two choices: either give up Shrek Academy and assign the remaining students to other academies; or take a gamble and reorganize the team after getting Dai Mubai out.
Yu Xiaogang once said to Flanders that Shrek's educational resources are limited, and even for these hard-working students, they should be given better development space.
The master's subtext is obvious, but Flanders can't do this kind of thing, saying goodbye to Shrek Academy, which he built brick by brick.
Flanders has a deep affection for Shrek Academy, and he regards it as his home.
He is unwilling to give up his years of hard work and dreams.
Thinking of his dream, the old owl made up his mind.
"But our Shrek Academy still has one last chance!"
Flanders gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his heart, raised his hand tremblingly, and put it into his arms.
Flanders took out a black card from it.
That was the property he had saved up after years of hard work, that was all the wealth he had accumulated for Shrek Academy, that was his life's hard work and sweat.
Zhao Wuji was shocked when he saw this card.
"Flanders! You."
Flanders raised his hand to stop his old friend's persuasion. He used force to stop the trembling and handed the card to Tang San.
"Xiao San, you and Oscar go to the bank to cash out the money in this card and pay the fine for Dai Mubai."
The old owl said in a hoarse voice, his fingers gently swiped across the card, as if saying goodbye to an old friend.
Tang San took the black card and felt its heaviness and warmth.
Looking at Flanders' pale and haggard face, a feeling of emotion and admiration surged in his heart.
This Principal Flanders is using everything he has to support Shrek Academy and their students. Although this principal is cunning, he is not bad by nature. As a former disciple of a sect, he naturally knows how lucky it is to have such a leader.
Tang San did not speak, but just nodded to show that he understood. Oscar also stood up and followed Tang San to the door.
Watching them leave the hall one by one, Flanders felt his body become cold and heavy, and he collapsed on the seat as if his bones were pulled out.
Flanders didn't dare to think that the points on his black card would be reduced one by one and then turned into golden soul coins, and finally disappeared in the hands of those law enforcement officers.
Tang San walked on the road with the precious black card in his arms, and his mood was very complicated.
What happened in the past few days began to circle in his mind, making it difficult for him to calm down.
Because of the words of the person in charge of Wuhun Hall, the master was depressed and locked himself in the door for two days after he came back.
Tang San knew that the master was angry with him. Tang San wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
The food in the college is getting worse day by day. Nowadays, even the most basic meat and vegetables are not available. How can we guarantee the cultivation of soul power in the long run?
Speaking of cultivation, since I read the "borrowed" books from Wuhun Palace, I feel more and more that the cultivation knowledge in the books is consistent with my own practice results.
He even found content similar to exercises that stimulated the movement of meridians. The content of the meridians had many similarities with the Xuantian Gong he had acquired in his previous life.
This even made Tang San feel a little moved.
He wanted to learn from these books to improve his cultivation level, but he was cautious and did not dare to practice techniques from unfamiliar sources. He would wait until his Xuantian Technique became more powerful before slowly studying it.
Oscar didn't know what Tang San was thinking at this time. Seeing how worried he was, he thought he was worrying about the principal and Shrek Academy to comfort him.
"It's okay. As long as we redeem Boss Dai and form a team to enter the Soul Fighting Arena, with Shrek's strength, we will definitely be able to win consecutive battles. This way, we don't have to worry about the school being abandoned when we have money."
Oscar said, patting Tang San's shoulder and showing a confident smile.
Tang San looked at Oscar's full and expectant face, and felt a little moved in his heart.
No one in Tang Sect treated him like this in the past. Life at Shrek Academy could be said to have cured his childhood to a certain extent.
Tang San and Oscar walked side by side towards the bank, their steps firm and fast.
They passed through the busy streets and passed through all kinds of people. They have only one goal, and that is to bring Dai Mubai back to Shrek.

Far away on the other side of the continent, Mu Zhe's eyes were fixed on the huge machinery that the students were experimenting with in the square.
That machine is the most important achievement of the Small Reincarnation Academy so far. It is a miracle created by the combination of the students' wisdom and knowledge.
That machine has the potential to completely change the way of life of civilization on this continent, and will be the first ray of dawn in a new era!
Mu Zhe looked at the roar and sparks when the machine started, and his heart was filled with pride and expectation.
He imagined how much convenience and well-being that machine could bring to mankind, and how many new fields and possibilities it could open up for mankind.
He believed that the machine was their best contribution to the world and the best annotation of the Small Reincarnation Academy to this era.
