Chapter 1605: Request For A Settlement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qiangu Dongfeng turned around and faced Shrek Academy’s direction. He spoke in a deep voice, “Greetings to everyone at Shrek. I’m the old man Qiangu Dongfeng. I wonder why the respectful academy destroyed so many mechas from my academy? I would like to request a settlement.”

A Limit Douluo was capable of exercising control over his voice to a remarkable extent. As soon as the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master spoke, he sounded as if he had a majestic voice that emerged from the vault of heaven. Everyone could hear him clearly, whether it was the people inside Shrek Academy or the parents and students trying to enroll.

Qiangu Dongfeng? He was the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master, a Limit Douluo of his generation and a four-word battle armor master!

He was one of the most powerful people in the world!

Meanwhile, a pleasant voice was heard echoing out from the inside of Shrek Academy. “Pagoda Master Qiangu, I wonder what more is there for us to explain? Your mecha masters provoked the situation first by flying in Shrek Academy’s airspace. Afterward, they attempted to attack Shrek during our enrollment program with so many parents and students queueing in front of our academy. Will you be liable if there are any resulting injuries and fatalities? We have only stopped them from continuing to behave as such. Rather than considering this and coming to apologize, you have chosen to drop by and make accusations against us. This is truly ridiculous.”

Qiangu Dongfeng only needed to hear the voice to know who was speaking. He squinted his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, “Your Excellency the Holy Spirit Douluo is right. I hadn’t been managing my subordinates well earlier resulting in their provocation against your respected academy. It’s our fault in this matter. I would like to represent Meng Te to apologize to you. However, His Excellency Meng Te has been severely injured, so one could say he has been punished for his crime. His behavior had been too drastic, but I believe that he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone intentionally. He was only acting as such because he had been humiliated. We are sorry for that.”

“However, your respected academy’s Yuanen Yehui chose to launch another attack despite already fighting him off. Moreover, her action has affected hundreds of innocent mechas which resulted in enormous losses for my side. How can it be that I don’t deserve to request for a settlement?”

“What a joke!” Yali spoke in a cold voice, “Had it not been for the two divine mechas that took it upon themselves to attack, would Yuanen Yehui have needed to respond? As for the matter related to affecting the others, that was also due to inability to retract her power. Had it not been for all your provocations, would this have happened? Pagoda Master, please go back.”

Qiangu Dongfeng raised his eyebrows ever so slightly. “Your Excellency the Holy Spirit Douluo, I can’t agree with your terms. Moreover, Meng Te is the former chief mecha master of the Sea God Army. He has served the Federation and performed deeds of valor in battles. Even if he is at fault, he should not be stripped naked and tossed out in such a manner. Moreover, his divine mecha was seized as well. Could it be that Shrek Academy is trying to steal it through crafty acquisition?”

Yali said, “Pagoda Master Qiangu, there’s something that I must tell you. When Shrek Academy was founded, the Federation had not even existed. We will not tolerate the trampling of Shrek’s honor, and we will not tolerate people trespassing in Shrek’s airspace. The rule was not just created today. Our decision to keep him alive is already due to his reputation as a member of the Mecha’s Association. Otherwise, we would have tossed out a corpse. Even if we are to follow the Federation’s laws, we have the right to kill a person who enters our private territory without authorization. Could it be that all of you are willing to allow me to fly above your Spirit Pagoda without reason?”

Many of the parents queueing up and waiting for the enrollment examination were laughing upon listening to Yali’s words.

Qiangu Dongfeng had a calm expression. “We would like to request that Shrek surrender the divine mecha regardless. Moreover, you should also compensate us for the loss of our mechas. Otherwise, don’t blame the Spirit Pagoda for our lack of consideration for your feelings after today’s incident.”

As he was speaking, Qiangu Dongfeng took long strides and walked in the direction of Shrek Academy.

The ground shook ever so slightly with every step he took. A low muffled sound would be heard echoing from the ground as if the earth had turned into a drum and his feet were the drum sticks.

The deafening booming sound and violent tremor made it difficult for the students and parents to keep a foothold in the distance.

“Qiangu Dongfeng, are you going to shed all pretense of cordiality?” Yali’s voice sounded even colder now.

Qiangu Dongfeng did not speak anymore and walked toward Shrek’s newly reconstructed main academic building step by step.

He was a Limit Douluo after all. The dominance radiating from him made it seem like the place would crumble under the mass of dark clouds.

The parents in the queue pulled along the hands of their children in succession and retreated to the distance. This man was a Limit Douluo, and no one wanted to get caught in the crossfire!

The rest of the over thirty soul masters including the two divine mechas followed closely behind Qiangu Dongfeng. They approached Shrek Academy step by step like they were unstoppable.

Meanwhile, figures came flying out from the inside of Shrek Academy.

The surroundings suddenly quieted down as soon as they appeared. Qiangu Dongfeng had also stopped walking when he saw them.

‘So you’re coming, huh? That’s great!’

He was not doing this because he wanted to seek justice, of course. Losing a divine mecha was nothing much for the wealthy Spirit Pagoda. He came here personally for one sole purpose. He wanted to redeem the reputation that he had lost.

Anything that could be solved with money was not considered a problem for the Spirit Pagoda, but a reputation could only be earned and not bought. Money would not solve this issue.

Qiangu Dongfeng fixed his eyes on the dozen people coming out from Shrek Academy. At the head of the group was Tang Wulin.

The Holy Spirit Douluo Yali was standing side by side with Tang Wulin, but the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue was not there. Other than them, there were also Yuanen Yehui, who fought off the mecha troop with one punch, as well as Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng, Wu Zhangkong and others.

Other than Yali, almost everybody else had a young face.

Radiance flashed in Qiangu Dongfeng’s eyes upon seeing them. Just as he had expected, Shrek’s inner secrets were far weaker than in the past, especially in their high-end fighting forces. In reality, they were led by only two Limit Douluos. Long Yeyue was already aged, so it was hard to tell how many years more she could live. In his view, once the supreme warrior Long Yeyue had passed, Shrek would not matter anymore.

It was only that he had not expected to see the two Limit Douluos from the Tang Sect. There were only a dozen people.

Tang Wulin looked at Qiangu Dongfeng standing on the opposite side with a smile. “Pagoda Master Qiangu, are you going to pay us a visit and bully us? Do you really think that our Shrek is unmanned?”

Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled coldly. “I’ve already acknowledged the mistake of my people. On the other hand, you should be providing an appropriate justification for your disproportionate response in this matter. Return the divine mecha and compensate for the loss of our mechas. Then, we can leave this matter be. I heard that the Tang Sect Master is also the current Sea God’s Pavilion Master. Then, you shall give your word of advice.”

Tang Wulin smiled calmly. “And what if we don’t compensate? What is Pagoda Master Qiangu going to do about it?”

Qiangu Dongfeng was also smiling. His smile made him appear kind and merciful. “Don’t want to compensate? That’s fine too! I can understand if the reconstruction of Shrek makes resources scarce. Coincidentally, our Spirit Academy’s facilities are not large enough and we are lacking a branch. Though it’s not ideal, I would allow you to use your academic buildings to pay the debt.”

Tang Wulin chuckled. “I’m afraid that’s not very nice, is it? We are not on the same page here, Pagoda Master. Why don’t we do this? We’re all from the soul masters’ world. Everyone here is a soul master. Since we can’t agree on the matter, why don’t we let our abilities do the talking? Let’s have a tournament. We shall determine the victor and loser through five rounds of battles, one-on-one. What do you think?”

Qiangu Dongfeng raised his eyebrows ever so slightly. “We can solve this issue with the soul master’s method, of course. However, we can’t allow the Tang Sect Master to decide the competition’s rules alone. Five rounds are too little. How is that enough to reveal an academy’s inner secrets? Moreover, Shrek was the number one academy on the continent in the past.” He emphasized the words ‘in the past’.

Tang Wulin said, “So, how many rounds do you think is suitable then, Pagoda Master Qiangu?”
