Chapter 1634: Shrek’s Secrets Are Too Well-hidden

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were too many unanswered questions. Even so, the media had all benefited from the Spirit Pagoda, so they were not allowed to take it upon themselves to verbally attack their benefactors! After a momentary silence, they could only use some ambiguous words to conceal the Spirit Pagoda’s disadvantage in this battle.

“Wretch!” Qiangu Dieting was furious as he flew back. Though he was old, he was still hot-tempered and stubborn.

Qiangu Dongfeng smiled bitterly. “I truly can’t figure out where Shrek Academy found those three Limit Douluos. They are too adept at hiding their secrets. It’s my fault. I’ll look into the specific details of those few people as soon as possible.”

Qiangu Dieting spoke in rage, “What’s the purpose of saying that now? We’ve lost. It’s humiliating. Shrek will certainly have their own way to snare these people. The rumor that Tang Wulin is a Divine Craftsman is real and that’s the most troubling part. We must finish off this Tang Wulin as soon as possible no matter what it takes. If not, Shrek will certainly be able to be restored to its original form in the future.”

The presence of five Limit Douluos had brought immense stress to the Spirit Pagoda. Their plan to limit the sale of spirit souls was already rendered obsolete now that Shrek had revealed their abilities.

Otherwise, what could they do when the opposing side’s five Limit Douluos came knocking on their door? What would be the extent of their loss regardless of whether they were capable of withstanding the visit?

The Spirit Pagoda was the number one organization on the continent and had the most powerful resources. Nevertheless, every branch of the Spirit Pagoda and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform existed as entities with an exact location. If Shrek truly did not care about their reputation and utilized these powerhouses to target the Spirit Pagoda, they would really be in trouble. There was utterly nothing they could do to prepare for such a powerful foe! This was the matter that depressed Qiangu Dieting the most.

Qiangu Dongfeng frowned deeply and said, “Father, don’t worry too much about that. We shall discuss further once we’ve looked into this matter. On the other hand, our earlier campaign is still effective. After all, our academy has already enrolled many new students and the total number is still much higher than Shrek’s. There’s nothing more important than students for our academy. After we’ve recovered, we can continue to come up with a plan targeting them next year by competing for students. We can continue this for a few more years until our Spirit Academy is at least equal to Shrek. By then, they won’t be able to maintain their reputation as the number one academy on the continent because they will never regain the power they once had.”

Qiangu Dieting glared at him coldly. “Look into the origins and backgrounds of those three Limit Douluos before you do anything else. I’m going to return.” With that, the quasigod left abruptly.

Qiangu Dongfeng heaved a sigh to himself. He was well aware that his father was growing very dissatisfied with his performance.

Qiangu Qingfeng did not even bother to say another word. He merely left with his wife in his arms. He was feeling even more disgruntled because his wife had been severely injured, but they were still defeated in the end. How could he not feel depressed for that?

Only the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu softly sighed in admiration. She said, “That boy, Tang Wulin, is truly impressive, huh?”

Qiangu Dongfeng turned his head to the side and took a glance at her. He said, “Had Nana not been engaging in closed-door cultivation, today’s results may have been different. Has Nana told you when she will have a Limit Breakthrough?”

Leng Yaozhu answered in a deep voice, “This is not something we can rush her into. Nana has already surpassed my prediction by reaching her current realm at such a young age.”

Qiangu Dongfeng heaved a sigh. “It’s not that I’m rushing for this, but I’m afraid Nana is the only one in the next generation capable of suppressing Tang Wulin. Fortunately…”

“Fortunately what?” asked Leng Yaozhu in confusion.

Qiangu Dongfeng smiled because he was feeling in a slightly better mood when he thought about the incident. Fortunately, Gu Yuena was entirely on his side. Were that not the case, it would be an even more troubling matter if she was truly associated with Tang Wulin.

“Continue to raise the academy’s support. I believe that we can rely on our adequate support to enroll the greatest number of the top students!” said Qiangu Dongfeng in a deep voice. Even if he had to sacrifice resources and inner secrets, he was definitely going to achieve victory in the battle for students.

The people from Shrek Academy landed on the ground. As he gazed at the opposing side’s departing silhouettes, Tang Wulin felt relieved. His side had finally managed to get the result they had predicted.

In reality, Tang Wulin did not want to engage in the final round of the competition. Everything else aside, the main reason was the newly reconstructed facilities. The location was so close to Shrek Academy and the Sea God Lake, and the defense system was not perfected yet. Their efforts would be wasted if anything was damaged during the battle. Moreover, he was worried that the Spirit Pagoda’s team would accidentally hurt the parents and students watching the fight below if they became desperate.

As a result, everything they had done earlier was meant to lead to their victory in the final round without ever having to fight. At the same time, it was also meant to showcase Shrek’s powerful abilities to the entire continent. This would raise the confidence of the students wanting to enroll in Shrek Academy.

In the presence of the five great Limit Douluos, many issues would no longer trouble them. In addition, the new generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters had displayed their abilities, which also demonstrated Shrek’s academic excellence.

The battle ended when the Spirit Pagoda retreated. There was no need for Shrek Academy to make an announcement as the parents had immediately rushed their children over to enroll in Shrek.

After this battle, the reconstructed Shrek Academy had finally taken a firm stand. How they progressed from here would depend on the new students. The quality of the new students would affect the future, especially when this was the first batch of students after Shrek was reconstructed.

“Wulin, are you okay?” asked Yuanen Zhentian out of concern.

Tang Wulin smiled and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry. However, Qiangu Dieting’s ability is truly very powerful. I was really suffering for a while during the earlier outburst.”

Yali smiled and said to Yuanen Zhentian, “Don’t worry, Your Excellency Zhentian. I’m his godmother and I’m not worried. How can he possibly be unwell?”

As she spoke, she looked at Tang Wulin with a smile. The mother and son gazed into each other’s eyes and broke into heartfelt smiles.

Just then, the hideous middle-aged man also walked over. He sized Tang Wulin up and down in confusion and asked, “How is that possible? I could clearly feel that you were severely injured from the crushing strike earlier! Your recovery ability defies Heaven a little too much, right? No, this can’t be. This isn’t something that you can recover from with your recovery ability! You’re not going to be left with internal injuries, are you?”

Tang Wulin shook his head and smiled bitterly. “I won’t. Don’t worry.” In reality, Tang Wulin was feeling rather unsure about involving this man. He was not included in his original plan. After all, he had only arrived at Shrek recently.

…

“Pavilion Master, someone is here to see you.” Tang Wulin had just completed the forging for that day. Just as he was about to head to dinner, Yang Nianxia, the former inner court disciple that had become an outer court teacher, came looking for him.

Yang Nianxia was known as the Duskgold Bear. Within Shrek, he was one of the outstanding students of his generation. Put plainly, Yang Nianxia, Wu Siduo and a few others were the best students in the academy besides Tang Wulin and his group.

All this time, they had been cultivating painstakingly with Tang Wulin as their goal. However, fortune had smiled on Tang Wulin, and his elevation speed was too fast for them. Thus, the disparity between them was growing further and further.

As it stood, Wu Siduo had the highest cultivation base among them and had become a Soul Douluo. Yang Nianxia had cultivated to rank-79 as well and he was only one step away from being a rank-80 Soul Douluo.

It was a rare occurrence for someone to achieve this at Yang Nianxia’s age. Nevertheless, he was feeling thoroughly discouraged as soon as he thought about Tang Wulin.

Xu Yucheng and Luo Guixing’s cultivation bases were almost the same as his. They had not reached the Soul Douluo-rank yet, even after years of dedicated cultivation. Indeed, the Jade Snake Zheng Yiran was catching up from behind and surpassed those in front. He had just reached rank-80 a few days prior and ascended to the Soul Douluo realm.

The people from their generation were considered fully grown at this point. Naturally, they were to be employed as outer court teachers after the reconstruction of Shrek Academy. There was no choice because they were lacking in power.
