Shi Yu nodded slightly, pondering to himself, and realized that thinking about it this way made it easier to understand.
Seeing that Shi Yu did not immediately express his opinion and did not seem very enthusiastic, Vice Tower Master Li began to persuade him, talking about various benefits.
Besides receiving a lot of resources from the Spirit Pagoda, it can also resolve this trouble, making it a win-win situation.
"I do," Shi Yu replied without further hesitation.
"Alright, alright, I'll go reply to the Tower Master of the Ancient Tower right away," Vice Tower Master Li said excitedly. He hoped that by handling this matter, he could also gain favor with the Tower Master of the Ancient Tower.
"The Tower Master wants to have a video call with you." Vice Tower Master Li quickly prepared the video communicator and waited for the connection to be established.
Shi Yu moved a little further away so that his entire body could be in the frame.
The video call connected quickly, and Shi Yu saw the dignified and solemn old man on the other end of the line.
When Shi Yu first saw Qian Gu Dong Feng, he felt a little intimidated; the gaze from a powerful figure made him feel uneasy.
Even just watching him on video is incredibly intimidating; after all, this is an extremely powerful expert.
"This 'Eternal East Wind' might be much stronger than Mu En," Shi Yu thought to himself, making a comparison.
The era of Dragon King Legend featured battle armor, which greatly enhanced the strength of Soul Masters.
At the same level of soul power cultivation, a soul master with battle armor can almost completely overwhelm a soul master without battle armor.
The difference in the ultimate level may not be enough to achieve a decisive and overwhelming victory, but the gap is certainly not small.
Even if Mu En's health hadn't deteriorated, he probably wouldn't have been a match for Qian Gu Dong Feng.
It's not that he's incapable, but rather a technological gap; a Soul Master with Battle Armor has a kind of devastating advantage over one without.
"Greetings, Master of the Ancient Tower," Shi Yu greeted with a proper bow.
They were standing, not kneeling.
Qian Gu Dongfeng on the other end of the video nodded slightly, looked Shi Yu up and down, and said, "I've seen your abilities; they're quite good, meeting my expectations for a disciple."
"Disciple greets Master," Shi Yu quickly changed his address, saying.
Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but smile. This disciple not only seemed to be highly talented, but also quick-witted.
"Right now, you can only be considered my prospective disciple. You'll only be officially recognized as one after you've spent some time at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters."
"Although you are only a prospective disciple, I, as your master, will help you resolve the difficulties you are currently facing. You don't need to worry too much," Qian Gu Dong Feng said.
"Thank you, Master," Shi Yu said.
"Consider the soul bone you absorbed as a gift from your master," Qian Gu Dongfeng said, mentioning the external soul bone.
The gift was rather generous, but the other party had already accepted it, so there was nothing he could do but accept it as a favor.
He was considering taking Shi Yu as his disciple, and also thought about leaving the soul bone in the Spirit Pagoda.
As long as the person who absorbed the soul bone is in the Spirit Transfer Tower, the soul bone is essentially still in the Spirit Transfer Tower.
Shi Yu expressed her gratitude once again.
"You guys deal with the current troubles first, and then send Shi Yu to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters as soon as possible. I want to see him in person," Qian Gu Dongfeng said before hanging up the video call.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see them. Don't worry, with me here, they can't hurt you," said Vice Tower Master Li. With the support of the Ancient Tower Master, he became more assertive.
"Okay," Shi Yu nodded and followed Vice Tower Master Li out of the Ascension Room to the lounge where Wu Changkong and the others were.
Upon seeing Shi Yu enter, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and the others cast angry and unfriendly glances at him.
Wu Changkong stared coldly at Shi Yu, a gaze that made Shi Yu feel a strong sense of crisis.
"Could this person be Wu Changkong?" Shi Yu wondered to himself.
He didn't recognize Wu Changkong's face, but the other party had an icy expression, putting him under pressure no less than Zhao Wuji, and his strength was at least at the Soul Saint level.
He also had an extraordinary relationship with Tang Wulin and the others; in Donghai City, Wu Changkong was the only person he could think of.
"Hand over the soul bones that belong to my student," Wu Changkong said first, his tone firm.
"I've already absorbed that soul bone, so I can't hand it over to you, and even if I could, I wouldn't."
"That's something I earned through my own strength at the Spirit Ascension Platform. What right do you have to ask for it?" Shi Yu didn't give the other party a friendly attitude either.
"How could you be so despicable and shameless? You stole our things and acted like it was perfectly justified!" Xu Xiaoyan said angrily.
After resting for more than an hour, I regained some of my energy.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and even Gu Yue were all furious, having never seen such a shameless person.
"If you put it that way, then I'll have to have a serious talk with you."
"That soul bone belongs to the Spirit Ascension Platform, but it belongs to someone from my Spirit Transfer Tower. Three of you are not members of the Spirit Transfer Tower."
"You were trying to take away extremely precious soul bones from inside, and I stopped you. Is there a problem with that?"
"It's the same principle as you entering a museum and suddenly trying to secretly take something away, and me step in to stop you."
"You are the ones who committed the crime, yet you turn around and accuse me. What kind of robber logic is that?" Shi Yu said sharply.
"That makes sense. Shi Yu is a member of my Spirit Transmission Tower. What's wrong with him guarding the things inside the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
"On the contrary, you attempted to take away the treasures within the Spirit Ascension Platform. Shouldn't you give the East Sea Spirit Transmission Tower an explanation?" Vice Tower Master Li stepped forward to support Shi Yu.
Wu Changkong frowned, momentarily at a loss for words, suddenly finding himself in the wrong.
"I am also a member of the Spirit Pagoda. Does taking that soul bone count as stealing a treasure?" Gu Yue coldly questioned.
"But that soul bone isn't in your hands. Since that's the case, I should protect the Spirit Pagoda's property," Shi Yu replied calmly.
"That makes sense," said Deputy Tower Master Li, acting like a sycophant.
"Sophistry," Gu Yue's voice was filled with suppressed anger.
"What I said is all true, and my actions were in accordance with the rules. On the contrary, the three of you attempted to seize the treasures in the Spirit Ascension Platform. Shouldn't you give our Spirit Transmission Tower an explanation?" Shi Yu looked at Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan, taking the initiative.
Gu Yue is a member of the Spirit Pagoda, so he has no reason to cause trouble, but the other three are a different story.
Deputy Tower Master Li also smiled and said in a deep voice, "Those who enter the Spirit Ascension Platform can normally kill soul beasts to obtain energy to improve themselves, but there is no explicit rule saying that you can take anything else with you."
"Your previous actions clearly indicated that you wanted to take away the Soul Bone Treasure and maliciously steal the Spirit Pagoda's property. You must give us an explanation." Tang Wulin and the others' expressions changed slightly, Gu Yue's face turned ugly, and Wu Changkong's expression also darkened.
They're furious. The other party is spouting nonsense and distorting the facts, leaving them not only unable to vent their anger but also being harassed. What kind of situation is this?
"Vice Tower Master Li, are you trying to get my teacher to reason with you?" Gu Yue looked coldly at Vice Tower Master Li, who wasn't usually this assertive.
"I think it's unnecessary to trouble Your Majesty Tianfeng. The Tower Master of the Ancient Tower will communicate with Your Majesty Tianfeng," Vice Tower Master Li replied politely.
However, he did not back down. With the support of the Ancient Tower Master, he would not be easily intimidated again.
Gu Yue frowned. The Ancient Tower Master mentioned by the other party was probably the Grand Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, whose status was even above that of her teacher.
"Let's put aside the matter of stealing the soul bone for now; you must give me an explanation for killing my disciple," Wu Changkong changed the subject.
He was angry for two reasons: first, Tang Wulin and the others' soul bones were stolen; and second, they were maliciously killed by Shi Yu inside.
"Are you out of your mind? I already said I only acted to protect the treasures of the Spirit Pagoda. Do I need to give you an explanation?"
"Have you ever seen a police officer lay a hand on a criminal and then be the one demanding an explanation?" Shi Yu didn't mince words and spoke bluntly.
I hope you can add it to your favorites and vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Thank you so much.
