Chapter 175: Spirit Hall's Plan to Attack Shrek City
"Yes, Elder Xuan!"
Ma Xiaotao and the others nodded upon hearing this, then left to return to their rooms to rest.
"By the way, Lexuan," Elder Xuan suddenly called out to her before she left, "Let Shaozhe arrange for some manpower to reinforce Shrek City's defenses. Also, mobilize the spies across the Douluo Continent to keep a close watch on Spirit Hall's movements."
He gazed at the distant walls of the city, his eyes sharp as an eagle. "I have a feeling that after we killed a Title Douluo from Spirit Hall and uncovered their plans, Spirit Hall will definitely not sit idly by."
He thought of Zhong Liwu's methods and his expression turned serious.
"Understood."
Zhang Lexuan nodded and then disappeared in a flash of light.
Elder Xuan stood alone before Sea God Island, replaced by a deep sense of worry.
He took out a communication jade pendant from his robe. It had the character "Mu" carved on it, and after infusing his soul power, it immediately lit up. "Mu En, it's time to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting!"
…
At the Star Auction Pavilion.
The smile on Jiang Li's lips hadn't faded as the cold, mechanical voice of the system echoed in his mind.
On the virtual panel floating before him, the numbers continuously flickered like dancing flames.
[Zhang Lexuan killed Spirit Hall's Yinming Douluo, weakening Spirit Hall's power and further altering their future plans, earning auction points: 4172.]
[Because Zhang Lexuan led Shrek's Seven Monsters to complete the Shrek Inspection Team mission without any casualties among the students, perfectly changing the ending of the Seven Monsters in the original story, earning auction points: 6243.]
[Zhong Liwu, upon learning it was Shrek Academy, sent Deputy Sect Master Feng Ling to lead a group of powerful individuals to seek revenge on Shrek Academy, which may lead to a full-scale war between Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy, earning auction points: 7263.]
[The friction between Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy further changed the timeline of the upcoming war on Douluo Continent, greatly affecting the future direction of Douluo Continent, earning auction points: 15742.]
[...]
From yesterday until now, these notifications hadn't stopped. Though the points earned previously were few, the quantity made up for it.
Today's changes brought him enough auction points, especially the early start of the war between Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall, which earned him over 15,000 points.
This was the most auction points he had earned in a single day.
Leaning back in his rosewood chair, he gazed at the bustling streets of Douluo City outside the window.
"It seems that the war on Douluo Continent is about to begin."
Jiang Li cleared his mind of the chaotic thoughts and lightly tapped the desk with his fingers. "With Spirit Hall's ambitions, they will definitely not allow forces like Shrek Academy to continue growing."
However, other forces weren't idle either, and this great war could last a long time.
A playful smile tugged at the corners of his lips. These variables were all chips for him to earn auction points.
None of this had anything to do with him or the Star Auction Pavilion. As the future of Douluo Continent shifted, he could easily earn large amounts of auction points.
It wouldn't be long before he could use the auction points to purchase a divine position and become a true god.
"Emperor of the Soul."
Jiang Li whispered into the void, his voice low but carrying an undeniable authority.
The next moment, the space before him rippled, and the figure of the Emperor of the Soul appeared.
"Master."
The Emperor of the Soul nodded slightly, his flame origin making the air twist around him.
"Help me see what Spirit Hall plans to do against Shrek Academy, and their detailed deployment."
Jiang Li walked to the giant floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the dark clouds in the direction of Spirit Hall.
"Can you see anything from other parts of Douluo Continent?"
He knew that the Emperor of the Soul's spiritual power was above the level of a God King, capable of perceiving the entire continent with a single thought.
With the Willow God now in seclusion, he didn't want to disturb him, and only the Emperor of the Soul had this capability.
"Understood, Master."
The Emperor of the Soul nodded. This was not a difficult task. He then sat cross-legged on the sofa in the Star Auction Pavilion, his eyes half-closed.
The next moment, black flames rose from around him, and a solidified pillar of spiritual energy shot toward the sky, instantly covering the entire Douluo Continent.
With the Emperor of the Soul's strength, surpassing that of a God King, covering the entire continent was a breeze.
His spiritual power, like a spider's web, permeated every inch of land, from the extreme north to the Star Dou Forest, and even to the ten thousand soul altar beneath Spirit Hall's headquarters.
All the images clearly imprinted in his mind.
As his spiritual power spread, vast amounts of information surged into his consciousness, especially concerning Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy.
He "saw" Feng Ling leading the evil soul master legion, crossing the Sun Moon Empire's borders, with five Title Douluo surrounding her, their dark soul rings shining brightly.
"…"
After a moment, having gotten the answers he needed, the Emperor of the Soul opened his eyes again, the flames in his eyes slowly dimming.
"Based on my observations, Spirit Hall has dispatched a 98th-level Peak Douluo, along with five evil soul Title Douluos, heading toward Shrek Academy," he said, his voice calm but tinged with seriousness.
"And I noticed that there are a number of evil soul masters disguised as regular soul masters in Shrek City."
The Emperor of the Soul stood and walked to Jiang Li's side, his finger tracing a ripple through the air, showing an image of Shrek City.
"They are mostly hiding in civilian areas, and it seems they've received orders from Spirit Hall to begin moving about," he said.
In the image, a bun vendor suddenly revealed sharp teeth, and his palm spewed green toxic gas, corroding the city's defensive formations.
"It seems they intend to further disrupt the defenses around Shrek City."
Jiang Li's eyes darkened as he listened. It seemed Zhong Liwu was not willing to let this loss slide.
After all, even with Spirit Hall's vast foundation, losing a Title Douluo at this critical time was no small blow.
Jiang Li recalled Spirit Hall's craziness in the original story. To cultivate a Title Douluo, they had once wiped out three cities in one year.
Now, with the loss of Yinming Douluo, a more intense retaliation would undoubtedly follow.
As for the 98th-level Peak Douluo, it was most likely Feng Ling, Zhong Liwu's wife.
Spirit Hall had brought so many powerful individuals and soul guiding cannons, likely to throw Shrek City into chaos.
However, with Mu En and Elder Xuan around, Shrek Academy should not suffer major losses.
Mu En's light power could purify all evil, a natural counter to evil soul masters, and with Elder Xuan's recent breakthrough to Extreme Douluo, Shrek Academy would likely withstand this storm.
And with Mu En's injuries now healed, this whole farce should end soon.
Jiang Li then turned his attention to the system store, focusing on the card for enhancing soul power to the Extreme Douluo level.
He had exactly enough auction points.
The card shone with golden light on the virtual panel, engraved with complex divine runes, and the lower-right corner marked: "Using this card will instantly increase soul power to 99th-level Extreme Douluo, bypassing any bottlenecks."
With this card, he could directly rise to the Extreme Douluo level without wasting time on arduous training.
