"The nail that sticks out gets hammered. Shrek's reputation is ruined."
At the top of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dieting, with his brocade robe trailing to the ground, looked like a celestial being. He smiled as he watched Feng Zaixing, who shone like a star amidst the federal crowd, and said to Qiangu Dongfeng beside him:
"This child's future is limitless, and he is on good terms with our Pagoda; in the future, let Zhangting interact with him. Do not put on airs, and you should also provide more convenience."
"Dongfeng understands," Qiangu Dongfeng said.
"Mhm." Qiangu Dieting nodded, his entire being exuding a joyful aura.
"My heart is now clear, and all gloom has dissipated. Years of arduous cultivation cannot compare. This is a good time to enter a death seclusion and assault the final form of the Coiling Dragon Rod technique."
"The seclusion will be very long. I leave the entire Pagoda to you."
Qiangu Dongfeng's expression became serious, and he said loudly, "Yes, Dongfeng will ensure the Spirit Pagoda rises steadily and that our Qiangu Family prospers even more!"
"Good, with you all in the Family, I am at ease. Once Zhangting grows up, you two should also retire."
Qiangu Dieting, in a rare display of fatherly tenderness, like a worldly old man looking at his two Quasi-God sons, patiently admonished them:
"Sometimes power doesn't taste like much. Being strong oneself is the foundation. Your Aptitude are not bad; you only lack Mind and accumulation, especially you, Dongfeng."
He looked at Qiangu Dongfeng, the son who would succeed him, with mixed emotions.
He had been defeated by Yun Ming back then, which left a shadow in his heart, but now it had completely dispersed. He wondered if his son could change his temperament.
Qiangu Qingfeng had his own Dao, and he, a Quasi-God, could not offer much guidance.
Qiangu Dongfeng responded with a full smile, while Qiangu Qingfeng's expression remained calm, nodding to indicate his understanding.
Qiangu Dieting was greatly relieved. He nodded to the people of the Spirit Pagoda and disappeared in a flash of white light.
Watching his father leave, Qiangu Dongfeng turned around, his lips curving into an uncontrollable smile. With a wave of his hand, he began strategic deployment.
"Issue the Tower Master's order: effective immediately, the Pagoda will begin planning the establishment of a Spirit Transfer Academy. Shrek is finished; it's our turn. Coordinate fully with the Federation."
"Yes!"
The powerhouses of the Spirit Pagoda were full of fighting Spirit. Years of humiliation were dispelled in one day. The Spirit Pagoda had finally directly suppressed Shrek, which had made them breathless!
Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes swept across the sky, a trace of surprise fleetingly passing.
"Yulai, are you there?"
"Adult, they've finished the job. Shrek Inner Academy is almost completely wiped out."
On the way back for the main force of the Holy Spirit Cult, Dark Blood Demon held a soul guide screen, watching the live broadcast, and reported to his leader.
"Understood. They were ruthless enough."
The Ghost Emperor smacked his lips, then suddenly sighed: "Seraphim evolved into a twelve-winged angel. That kid's bloodlust is even heavier than mine when I was young. He truly hates Shrek."
"Damn it, why is his Spirit a twelve-winged angel? If he only had the Body Sect Spirit, I would have gotten him and corrupted him into a Saint." Leng Yulai eagerly said, "Adult, perhaps we can try? We can use Divine Artifacts."
The Ghost Emperor gave her a warning look, as if she were an idiot, and said faintly, "Alright, I'll send you to challenge the Angel Family alone."
"This subordinate misspoke." Leng Yulai quickly shrank her head.
"Take your head out of your heels and use it again!"
The Ghost Emperor cursed, then casually cursed a certain reneging bastard: "That dog Qiangu Dongfeng took a large sum of benefits from the Federation and turned his back on us just like that. Our Church cannot move for now."
"Hmph, countless people on the Douluo Continent believe in Shrek. Let those guys fight the Federation. We'll be the fishermen this time!"
Leng Yulai nodded, then asked, "Then, Adult, that Ma Tianzhao might still have some use. Should we...?"
"As you wish." The Ghost Emperor waved his hand, letting Leng Yulai decide for herself.
Among the Federation's main forces, everyone in the Nine Stars Association was covered in blood, but there were injuries and no deaths. The soul-guiding battle armor made of Spirit alloys that Feng Zaixing had prepared for them all came into use today.
With the victory in the great battle, Feng Zaixing's prestige soared to its peak. Whether it was Wu Siduo and other second-phase members, or Xu Yucheng and other core members of the first phase, all were ecstatic, looking at Feng Zaixing with reverence and pride, as if he were a god.
The best way for a new force to ascend to the divine altar is, of course, to attack a force already on the divine altar. Shrek Inner Academy had a twenty-thousand-year myth. Feng Zaixing led them to victory, and they would all be recorded in history. Their names would forever be in the school history of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
"From now on, we will be famous throughout the world!"
Long Chen and Le Zhengyu walked arm in arm, happily wearing their blood-stained clothes as honorary robes, enjoying their youth.
Xu Miao and Wang Wen, being older, also couldn't stop smiling. They would soon graduate and face the choice of further study in Mingde Hall or joining the army. "Participating in the Anti-Shrek Self-Defense Counterattack and making outstanding contributions" would undoubtedly be a brilliant resume.
Na'er and Gu Yue pouted, looking at each other displeased. The Silver Dragon combination, after a brief cooperation, immediately broke down and entered a state of battle.
"Hehe, Gu Yue, your performance was not bad. Keep it up in the future." Na'er directly transmitted her voice to Gu Yue's mind through telepathy.
"Don't get cocky. Don't forget you're just a personality Clone I split off." Gu Yue was indignant. A mere Clone trying to usurp its master was truly defying the heavens.
Na'er completely ignored the jab, her voice becoming lighter: "Oh my, I don't even consider myself a Spirit Beast anymore. Gu Yue, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"Your thoughts are very dangerous, you know. Do you believe I'll say something to Big Brother and have him isolate you for investigation, lock you in a secret underground room, and make you neighbors with Teacher Mu?"
The first lesson for adults ashore: forget your roots!
The second lesson: backstabbing!
"You traitor!" Gu Yue was so angry her eyes almost turned black. How could she have split off such an existence?
"This is called saving Spirit Beasts through a roundabout way. You big dumb Dragon, do you understand?" Na'er pouted, speaking with great strategy:
"In short, the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda are now in deep cooperation. If you want to control the Spirit Pagoda as soon as possible, don't mess around. You wouldn't want all your efforts to go to waste because you offended me, would you?"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth: "..."
Once I recover a bit more power, I'll definitely devour both you and Feng Zaixing clean!
Yuanen Yehui walked among the crowd and realized that among the group of nine, she was the only one alone. So, she had a flash of inspiration and quickly walked towards the two Presidents to report important matters.
"President, you know I have a Family, right?"
"I know." Feng Zaixing nodded, looking at the young lady, thinking, 'How could I not know about your Family's affairs?'
My primary reason for taking you away was to devour the demon plane in return. The second reason was your Family, and the third was to impress Shrek.
Yu Xin also looked at her, her gaze flowing between Yuanen Yehui and Feng Zaixing, a faint light flickering.
"I heard from my Family that they have a friendship with Shrek. Today, my break with Shrek also means a complete break with my Family."
As Yuanen Yehui spoke, she lowered her head, her emotions and tone becoming increasingly weak.
"So?" Feng Zaixing blinked, thinking, 'Is that even an issue?'
In the future, if your Family is willing to be decent, they'll be allies. If they're not, I'll help them be decent, ensuring you reunite with your father.
Yuanen Yehui's beautiful face showed a conflicted expression, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
She clasped her hands together in a salute, bowed deeply, and clearly called out:
"Yehui, wandering outside, only regrets not having met a famous teacher. Thank you, President, for not abandoning me. Today, I wish to become your Disciple, to serve you diligently and face life and death!"
Hearing this, Feng Zaixing's face twitched, and Yu Xin's eyes lit up with the fire of gossip.
"I once told you that I would introduce you to my teacher, Sect Master Mu, but he is in seclusion and has no time to see you."
Feng Zaixing carefully chose his words, feeling for the first time that suppressing his teacher was a bit troublesome. How could he have time to teach a Disciple himself?
"President, I can help you find Evil Soul Masters." Sensing that the other party's words seemed to imply a refusal, Yuanen Yehui immediately whispered softly.
"My Disciple, please rise quickly. From today onwards, you are the chief of the third generation of this Sect."
Feng Zaixing helped Yuanen Yehui up. The Body Sect, which had only a few members, now had a third-generation Genius.
Taking out his transcribed copy of the Titan God Fist manual, he said meaningfully:
"Study this well; it contains my insights. Your teacher will be going into seclusion when I return, so I won't be able to look after you for a while."
"Thank you, honored teacher." Yuanen Yehui took the [Titan God Fist] manual, opened it and looked, and was immediately drawn in by its content.
The method of exerting force described in the manual, after just one mental review, felt perfectly suited to her, almost as if it were tailor-made for the Titan Giant Ape.
"He had prepared this long ago, waiting to give it to me?"
Yuanen Yehui's mind wandered. Just then, she saw Feng Zaixing invite Long Tianwu over.
"Uncle Long, Yehui is my newly accepted Disciple. I ask that you also guide her in the future."
"Disciple, why haven't you greeted Grand Master Uncle yet?"
As the two sides met, Yuanen Yehui immediately reacted and saluted the Sword Cultivator Senior.
Long Tianwu nodded, took out a sword manual he treasured, and said, "I will be going into seclusion when I return. You should cultivate on your own for now."
"...Yes." Yuanen Yehui took the sword manual, feeling a bit strange.
Is seclusion a tradition of this lineage?
Yu Xin looked at the sky, then suddenly smiled, "When are we going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
