Tang Wulin looked toward the rest of the group and said, “Elder Long, Your Excellency the Holy Spirit Douluo, Your Excellency the Titan Douluo, Your Excellency the Heavenly Wild Douluo and Your Excellency the Qilin Douluo from Shrek Academy will stay. The few of us from the Shrek Seven Monsters will stay too. The rest shall return first. If need be, I will transfer everyone using the Ancient Life Tree.”


  The decision was made in a very simple manner. There were numerous powerhouses from the Tang Sect that remained. Basically, the vast majority of their elite forces stayed to guard the location.

  The Shrek Seven Monsters were not teachers at the academy. Their duty was to painstakingly cultivate and elevate themselves as much as possible. The Seven Monsters were always the protectors of Shrek Academy, so the act of developing their abilities surpassed the importance of everything else.

  With Tang Wulin’s forging assistance, this generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters had all already become four-word battle armor masters. Although they had not managed to engage with the abyssal legion this time, there was no doubt that they would be the main fighting force if need be.

  The meeting adjourned when everything was properly arranged. Tang Wulin did not return to his camp to cultivate. Instead, he went to Ling Zichen’s room.

  Ling Zichen was lying on the bed, bored from reading a book to pass the time. It was a profound book about soul technology that Tang Wulin could never understand.

  She placed down the book upon seeing Tang Wulin. She said with a helpless expression, “When will I walk again?! I’m bored to death. There’s no research tools here, so I can’t test out my many ideas. I’ve already recorded everything that I can and sent it back for storage, But I don’t think I can stand being here anymore!”


  Tang Wulin said with slight exasperation, “No, you can’t go back yet. According to my mother, you will need to recuperate for three months at the very least before your body can be considered recovered. You can’t leave in the next three months.”


  Ling Zichen’s red lips pouted. She said in an unpleasant tone, “The Ancient Life Tree in Shrek Academy that supplies life force too! Isn’t it just the same if I were to recuperate there?”


  Tang Wulin said, “But you need my mother to help you channel and adjust the life force. Moreover, she is stabilizing your physical condition too and she can’t leave this place. What can you do if she is staying here?”


  Ling Zichen’s expression showed that she was having a breakdown. “But I ‘m really losing my patience now! Don’t you know that I must carry out the experiment and record the data as soon as I’m inspired during the soul technology research? It’s highly possible that I can’t do it anymore once the inspiration has passed.”


  Tang Wulin said, “I don’t understand soul technology, but I know that the most important thing now is to keep you alive. It’s only three months, so bear with it.”


  Ling Zichen grunted once. She said, “Alright then. Since there is no other way, you must look for some basic tools for me. Otherwise, I’ll go insane in three months.”


  Tang Wulin replied in an unpleasant tone, “Aren’t you insane enough yet? How much more do you want to be?”


  Ling Zichen giggled. She only revealed her womanly behavior when she was with Tang Wulin. “I can be much more insane! Tang Wulin, let me tell you this. Don’t offend me because I’m genuinely a weapon in human form now. I’m a human rocket. If I want, I can be an explosive Eternal Heaven. Perhaps, I can even destroy the entire federal legion in one strike.”


  The corners of Tang Wulin’s lips twitched once. “Don’t talk about this anymore. Anyhow, you won’t be able to use it in the future. Can you remove the Eternal Heaven and recover it? It’s too dangerous for you to keep it in your body all the time.”


  Ling Zichen pinched her fingers together and said calmly, “I can. There is about thirty to forty percent failure rate. Faliure would cause an explosion. If you wish to recover it, I’ll do it.”


  “Don’t!” Tang Wulin was startled. What a joke. There was a thirty to forty percent failure rate. If she failed, she would end up destroying the entire federal legion completely!

  Tang Wulin heaved a sigh and shook his head. “Anyhow, just recuperate yourself first. I’m leaving now.”


  There was an abrupt knock on the door.

  Tang Wulin said, “Please come in.”


  The door opened and Xie Xie walked into the room. “Big brother, something has happened.”


  “What is it?” Tang Wulin’s chest tightened. Could it be that the abyssal legion was here again?

  Xie Xie said, “the Spirit Pagoda has just made an announcement that will shock the world of soul masters.”


  Tang Wulin said in confusion, “What announcement was it?”


  Xie Xie said, “the Spirit Pagoda announced that it is obligated to elevate the overall strength of the soul masters’ world due to the current situation. The selling price of all the ten-thousand-year spirit souls’ has been reduced by fifty percent and the entrance ticket price to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was also reduced by fifty percent.”


  Tang Wulin relaxed upon hearing the first half of Xie Xie’s statement. After all, the abyssal creatures did not turn up again. However, he could not help showing his astonishment upon hearing the latter part.

  Reduced by fifty percent?

  The Spirit Pagoda made most of their profits through selling one-thousand-year spirit souls and entry tickets into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!

  All the ten-thousand-year spirit souls were sold at astronomical prices. Many soul masters may not necessarily be able to afford to purchase one at the risk of losing their entire fortune. The Spirit Pagoda seemed to be sacrificing too much by lowering the price by fifty percent. It was just the same for Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The Ten Thousand Beast Platform was always crowded with visitors. With its price lowered, the place would blow up like wildfire, right? Moreover, could the Ten Thousand Beast Platform contain so many people?

  At the thought of this, Tang Wulin looked toward the soul communicator on his wrist instinctively. He hesitated for a moment before he dialed a number.

  This degrading behavior of his was already unrelated to Qiangu Dongfeng because the current Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master was his one true love!

  Gu Yuena did this. What was she trying to achieve? Was she reforming the Spirit Pagoda?

  If this act could turn Spirit Pagoda into a real organization in the service of soul masters and reduce their exorbitant profit, it would definitely be a great thing.

  He pressed the dial button at last. The call soon connected.

  It was his first time dialing this number since he was rejected during the Joust For A Spouse Festival. He could not help recalling the passionate kiss within the artillery fire that filled the sky the other day. He felt warm and fuzzy in his chest when he thought about it.

  “Hmm?” A familiar voice came from the other end of the communicator. Tang Wulin felt like he was going to melt just from hearing her.

  She was already the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master. It felt as if he had suddenly had an epiphany. They were both the leaders of the greatest forces on the continent. Although they could not be together yet, it felt as if the barrier between them had already disappeared.

  “I heard that the price of your Ten Thousand Beast Platform and ten-thousand-year spirit souls have gone down? Why is that so?” asked Tang Wulin.

  Gu Yuena, “For the development of the soul masters’ world, I suppose. Moreover, it was our fault that the Wetsrem Army Corps suffered such severe losses after all. If we had not done this, it would have been hard to settle things with the military without making some sacrifices. I have just taken up the post, so I must do something to repair the damage done to the Spirit Pagoda’s reputation. Furthermore, being generous will bring even more support to us.”


  Tang Wulin said, “The Spirit Pagoda’s internal committees are fine with this? They agreed with your decision?”


  Gu Yuena said, “There’s nothing for them to disagree with. The inside of Spirit Pagoda is filled with conflicts now. It can only be tidied up through strong actions. Moreover, these two things are made by him. A wise person can see that I’m doing this for the betterment of Spirit Pagoda. The price cut is only temporary, at least until we have crossed the storm. Helping soul masters to become more powerful will be beneficial when the Federation has to resist external enemies in the future. After all, the abyssal legion startled the Federation this time. The Federation will be more lenient with us thanks to these steps. At least, if your people were to come again, the Federation would defend us.”


  Tang Wulin squinted his eyes. He thought about it very carefully and found that the price cut was genuinely beneficial to them in many ways. Though the Spirit Pagoda would be making less profit, they gained more support.
