Pressure from the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo

Vice Tower Master Li directly showed his displeasure at Wu Changkong's attitude. This attitude gave him, the vice tower master, very little face.

"It's not shielding him. I'm simply judging the matter on its merits. This happened in the Spirit Ascension Platform, so it should be settled once you leave the Spirit Ascension Platform. There should be no further pursuit."

"Your students were simply inferior in skill. Who can they blame for that?"

"Isn't it a bit petty to keep pursuing the matter after leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform?" Vice Tower Master Li was equally forceful.

He had seen Shiyu's talent, so naturally he wanted to protect him. The other side's attitude also made him unwilling to compromise.

"This has nothing to do with being petty. He maliciously robbed them and killed them first. It is only right that I seek justice for my students." Wu Changkong did not think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

"You have your reasons, and I have my stance. If there is nothing else, please leave the Spirit Pagoda." Vice Tower Master Li made his intention to see them out clear.

Continuing like this would only lead to a pointless argument. There was no need to waste time.

"I need an explanation for my students." Wu Changkong remained forceful and refused to leave.

"I've already given you an explanation. Didn't you hear it?" Vice Tower Master Li stared sharply at Wu Changkong.

He was a dignified Soul Douluo, and this was the Spirit Pagoda—his territory. If he were forced into compromise by the other party, could he still call himself vice tower master?

"This isn't the attitude I wanted." Wu Changkong was unafraid as well. Once he became stubborn, he feared no one.

"What do you mean by that?" Vice Tower Master Li's expression darkened, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo, Leng Yaozhu, is my teacher." At that moment, Gu Yue suddenly spoke.

"What?" Vice Tower Master Li's expression changed at once.

Only then did he seriously examine Gu Yue. He seemed to have heard that the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo, Leng Yaozhu, had come to the East Sea Spirit Pagoda and accepted a disciple. Could it be her?

He had been away from the East Sea Spirit Pagoda for some time and was unclear about certain matters, only having heard others mention them.

Gu Yue temporarily left Tang Wulin's side, walked over, and took out a token to show Vice Tower Master Li.

The token had been given to her by her teacher, the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo Leng Yaozhu. The words "Heavenly Phoenix" were inscribed upon it.

"May I inspect it closely?" Vice Tower Master Li asked cautiously, his tone becoming much more polite.

Gu Yue tossed him the token.

Vice Tower Master Li caught it steadily, verified it using the Spirit Pagoda's testing methods, then courteously returned it to Gu Yue.

"So you are Heavenly Phoenix Crown's disciple. My apologies, my apologies." Vice Tower Master Li's attitude toward Gu Yue immediately became very respectful.

Although he was the vice tower master of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, his standing within the Spirit Pagoda was not low.

But compared to the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo Leng Yaozhu, he was far, far beneath her.

The Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo ranked among the top five in the Spirit Pagoda. Her personal strength also vastly surpassed his. If she truly wanted to attack him, she could practically kill him in seconds.

Facing the disciple of such an existence, he instinctively wanted to lower his stance.

Moreover, anyone valued and accepted as a disciple by such an existence undoubtedly possessed extraordinary talent. The chance of her becoming a Title Douluo in the future was very high.

She might even occupy a high position in the Spirit Pagoda one day. For the sake of an easier life in the future, he had to be more respectful and could not afford to offend her.

"I want to know who attacked us in the Spirit Ascension Platform." Gu Yue did not give Vice Tower Master Li a pleasant look.

"This..." Vice Tower Master Li looked troubled. He had not thought the matter difficult before, but now he truly had a headache.

"If you won't tell me, I can ask my teacher." As she spoke, Gu Yue took out her communicator.

"Don't." Vice Tower Master Li stopped her instinctively. If this truly reached the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo, the matter could become serious.

"Are you still not going to tell me?" Gu Yue asked coldly.

"He still can't leave the Spirit Ascension Pod right now. Once he comes out, I'll bring him to see you." Vice Tower Master Li could only compromise.

However, considering Shiyu's personal safety, he still did not bring them over immediately.

The other party was absorbing a Soul Bone. If he brought them over now and they forcibly interrupted Shiyu, it might cause irreparable harm.

"Don't tell me he's absorbing a Soul Bone in there?" Gu Yue's voice became even colder.

She had seen that thing clearly earlier. There was a high chance it was a Soul Bone.

"A Soul Bone?" Wu Changkong had not known it was that item before.

The weakened Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan were all shocked as well, and at the same time felt incomparably angry. Such a precious item had actually been stolen away. It was truly painful.

"Yes." Vice Tower Master Li had no way to deny it and could only nod.

"That Soul Bone doesn't belong to him. He can't be allowed to benefit from it." Gu Yue wanted to stop him.

If Tang Wulin had absorbed that Soul Bone, she could have accepted it somewhat. But if it was anyone else, she could not.

After all, it had been snatched from their hands. Even if it was destroyed, it could not be allowed to benefit him.

"Let's wait a little longer. Shiyu has already joined the Spirit Pagoda; he is one of us. There's no need to be so ruthless," Vice Tower Master Li persuaded.

"Besides, both his parents are Title Douluos. If he truly suffers irreparable harm, that would also be troublesome."

"Even if he has Title Douluos backing him, we must still demand an explanation for this matter." Wu Changkong spoke without fear.

Gu Yue nodded as well. She truly could not swallow her anger without getting an explanation.

"Let's wait until he finishes first." Vice Tower Master Li could only stubbornly hold his ground.

Even after Gu Yue tried invoking the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo, Vice Tower Master Li did not yield. He feared offending the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo, but he also did not want to offend two unknown Title Douluos because of this.

Especially after witnessing Shiyu's abilities, one of his parents definitely possessed powerful Power of Space. If their abilities were similar to Shiyu's and they were at the Title Douluo level, their threat might be even greater than the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo's.

It was not that Shiyu's parents' Soul Power cultivation was necessarily higher than the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo's. Rather, their ability to kill secretly was definitely superior to hers. He did not want to be silently assassinated in revenge one day.

In the end, Gu Yue did not contact the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo. She did not really want to act like a child, tattling and seeking someone to back her up.

Using the Heavenly Phoenix Title Douluo to intimidate him a little was enough.

They could only wait quietly and deal with Shiyu after he left the Spirit Ascension Pod.

Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin, and the others rested inside. Vice Tower Master Li stepped out, considered the matter, and ultimately decided to report it to the higher-ups at headquarters.

Shiyu's talent was exceptional. If something happened to him just like that, it would be no small loss for the Spirit Pagoda.

Absorbing a Soul Bone in the Spirit Ascension Platform was relatively fast. In just over an hour, Shiyu completed the absorption.

When it ended, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. With a thought, five sharp claws slowly extended from between the fingers of his right hand.

If I get another one for my left hand, I'll turn straight into Wolverine.

His right hand really did look somewhat like Wolverine's hand. It felt pretty cool.

After examining and studying it for a while, he tried to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Lying in the Spirit Ascension Pod, he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he woke, he felt a slight swelling pain in his temples and some mental fatigue.

He pushed open the pod door and stepped out. After moving his body a little, he realized that Vice Tower Master Li, who had entered with him earlier, was gone.

I wonder if there'll be any trouble afterward. Shiyu thought of Tang Wulin and the others.

He did not know whether killing them in the Spirit Ascension Platform meant the matter was over or whether there would be further consequences.

Naturally, he hoped there would be no aftermath. Fewer troubles meant more time for other things.

As for his plans involving Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena themselves, they could only remain empty ideas for now and were difficult to truly put into action.
