Tang Wulin Joins the Spirit Pagoda

After Gu Yuexi dealt with Tang San's clone, she did not linger any longer and flew straight toward Douluo Star.

As for Gu Yuena, she was currently sitting by the streets of Aolai City, watching the show with utmost leisure!

Since Tang Wulin had awakened god-tier Twin Martial Souls and possessed Innate Level 20 Soul Power, he had already become the target of competing factions. The small coastal city of Aolai had also grown exceptionally lively.

"Student Tang Wulin, as long as you join Shrek Academy, you can enter the inner court directly. Every elder of the Sea God Pavilion will also take turns teaching you!" Yun Ming said to the little boy before him.

"Moreover, once your physical condition meets the requirements, Shrek will give you a Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone over a hundred thousand years old!" Ya Li added from the side.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers around them immediately began discussing it among themselves:

"My God, direct entry into Shrek's inner court, personal instruction from the Sea God Pavilion elders, plus a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone... They're planning to raise him as the next Master of the Sea God Pavilion!"

"Exactly. Once this kid joins Shrek, he'll definitely become a second Yun Ming—the strongest person of his era in the future!"

"Shrek Academy truly deserves to be called the continent's number one academy, passed down for twenty thousand years. They really are incredibly wealthy!"

"Not only that, don't forget that this kid is blessed by the Gods. Once he becomes a Limit Douluo, he'll probably be able to become a god on the spot!"

"That's true. By then, he may become another figure like Ancestor Tang San!"

"W-we'll think about it carefully!"

Faced with so many important figures, Tang Wulin's entire family was extremely nervous. When had they ever seen such a spectacle in their ordinary lives?

"Hahaha, hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones are all within the deepest core region of the Star Dou Great Forest now. If your Shrek dares to hunt those remaining Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts..."

"Then Beast God Di Tian and the remaining Beasts will surely fight Shrek to the death!"

The speaker was Qiangu Dongfeng, the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda. Beside him stood a man and a woman.

The man was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary bearing and a heroic air. He also possessed a somewhat transcendent temperament. A vertical eye rested upon his forehead, as though it contained the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

As for the woman, she was breathtakingly beautiful, tall and slender. Her long pinkish-blue hair cascaded down her back, while her pure white dress accentuated her flawless face. She looked as though a goddess had descended upon the world.

The two held hands like a golden boy and jade maiden. They were none other than Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, who had subdued all the Spirit Pagoda's powerful figures.

"Oh? Since when did the Spirit Pagoda have two Gods who had lost their God Positions? Did they fall from the God Realm? This is quite unexpected."

"To keep these two Gods from interfering with my sister's plan, perhaps I should just kill them now."

Gu Yuena frowned as she looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, thinking to herself.

After all, her sister had only found her not long ago, and she had been suffering from amnesia before that. Naturally, she could not possibly know about the history between Gu Yuexi, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong'er.

Sensing a faint killing intent beside them, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er turned their heads, their gazes meeting Gu Yuena's.

"Silver Dragon Spear!"

"Please wait. You must be Senior Silver Dragon King, correct? I never expected to find you here. Senior Golden Dragon King has been searching everywhere for you!"

Just as Gu Yuena was about to summon the Silver Dragon Spear and attack them, Huo Yuhao's voice transmission rang out beside her ear.

"It's fine. My sister and I have already reunited. You two should be Gods from the Douluo God Realm, though. Why do you know my sister?"

"It's somewhat troublesome to explain, so I'll make it brief. Dong'er and I saw Tang San for the hypocrite he truly was, and we have now defected from the Douluo God Realm."

Next, while Qiangu Dongfeng was still busily offering terms to recruit Tang Wulin, Huo Yuhao briefly explained everything that had happened in the Douluo God Realm to Gu Yuena.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's account, Gu Yuena secretly laughed to herself. Tang San truly had brought ruin upon himself through his countless misdeeds!

"Hahaha, interesting. So the two of you intend to follow my sister's plan and pull Tang San's son over to our side, so he can fight Tang San in the future?"

"That's right. Wulin's fate should be decided by himself, not controlled by Tang San until he becomes nothing more than a pawn in Tang San's bid to dominate the God Realm and Douluo Star—the so-called Ten-Thousand-Year Plan!"

"And what is going on with this Spirit Pagoda?"

"I was the one who founded the Spirit Pagoda in the first place. It has gone somewhat astray now, so I can use this opportunity to set it straight!"

"Fine, then. You two can keep playing. I'll just watch from the side. The Tang San Clone inside that boy has already been driven into Space by my sister, so you needn't worry about anything!"

"Understood, Senior Silver Dragon King!"

After their brief conversation ended, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er turned their attention back to Tang Wulin.

At this point, Qiangu Dongfeng had already laid out a long list of generous terms in order to recruit Tang Wulin into the Spirit Pagoda:

"Student Tang Wulin, if you join the Spirit Pagoda, you will first receive the full support of Spirit Pagoda Academy. At your current stage, you can obtain a Black Soul Spirit for free. Once you reach the rank of Soul Sage, we will even give you a hundred-thousand-year Red Soul Spirit!"

"The Spirit Ascension Platform at every level of the Spirit Pagoda will also be open to you around the clock. It is a place where Spirit Ring ages can be increased."

"If you cultivate within it, you may even raise all of your Spirit Rings to the hundred-thousand-year level!"

"Furthermore, should you need to forge your own Battle Armor or Mecha in the future, the Spirit Pagoda will provide all the necessary metals!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Old Man Qiangu, raising all Spirit Rings to the hundred-thousand-year level? In order to deceive a child into joining your Spirit Pagoda, you actually dare to make such outrageous claims. You truly have no shame!"

After hearing Qiangu Dongfeng's words, the crowd immediately broke into discussion.

However, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up at those words. He raised his head, looked at Qiangu Dongfeng, and asked:

"Grandpa, can I really get Soul Spirits for free?"

"Of course, child. As long as you are willing to join the Spirit Pagoda, your Soul Spirits, as well as all materials needed to forge Battle Armor and Mecha, will be free. And you will be the next Pagoda Master!"

"If they're free, does that mean Dad and Mom won't have to work so hard to earn money anymore? They won't have to be so tired?"

"Okay, I'll join the Spirit Pagoda!" Tang Wulin nodded.

The child was still too young. He did not understand things like hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones, Spirit Ascension Platforms, the next Master of the Sea God Pavilion, or the next Pagoda Master.

His only wish right now was to become a Soul Master and keep his parents from having to work so hard.

But Soul Spirits cost an enormous amount of money, far more than his small family could afford. He also did not want his parents to spend every day running themselves ragged for his sake.

Therefore, when he heard that there were free Soul Spirits, Tang Wulin decided to join the Spirit Pagoda.

There was another reason as well. Tang Wulin felt that the big sister who had been standing beside the Spirit Pagoda's Pagoda Master gave him a very warm and familiar feeling, as though she were family.

"Wait, child. Shrek can provide free Soul Spirits too!"

"Hmph, the Spirit Pagoda can give him Black Soul Spirits and even Red Soul Spirits. Can Shrek do that?"

"Other than using Shrek's supposed glory to fool students, what exactly do you provide your students? The same old running drills that have never changed?"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but your so-called title of the continent's number one academy is nothing but an empty name. Your students succeed because they were geniuses to begin with, not because Shrek's educational standards are so high!"

"You have monopolized so many Federation resources for years, yet never fulfilled any obligations. Is this what you call the continent's number one academy? I think it's a joke!"

With his own ancestor, Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao, here to back him up, Qiangu Dongfeng had gained a few more ounces of courage when facing Shrek and Yun Ming. He unleashed a barrage of verbal attacks, venting all the resentment he had accumulated from being suppressed by Shrek over the years.

"Qiangu Dongfeng, you dare insult Shrek? You're courting death!"
