Qiangu Dongfeng Was Going for the Kill

Shrek City, Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

Qiangu Dongfeng sat behind that large mahogany desk, with a mountain of files stacked to his right, waiting for him to review and approve them one by one.

Since the destruction of the Shrek Academy, the power structure of the Federation's top leadership has undergone an unprecedented reshuffle.

Taking advantage of the situation Spirit Pagoda extended its reach into the Federal Parliament and the military, securing several key seats in one fell swoop. Its influence soared, and it became the undisputed number one power within the Federation.

However, with greater power comes greater complexity. The interests of various factions, the power struggles within the tower, and the maneuvering and maneuvering with the Federation Army leaders all weighed heavily on the Tower Master's desk.

Even with his profound knowledge and boundless energy, Qiangu Dongfeng has been thoroughly exhausted by the endless stream of files to process these days, and he looks noticeably more haggard than before.

The heavy wooden door to the office was silently pushed open a crack, and a middle-aged man of medium build and unremarkable appearance slipped in without a sound. His footsteps were so light that they didn't even make a sound on the carpet.

He strode up to Qiangu Dongfeng, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Tower Master, an urgent report just came from the Star Luo Empire Branch Tower: Huo Yuhao seems to have comprehended the Spirit Domain."

Qiangu Dongfeng, who had been looking down at the files, suddenly stopped and then abruptly looked up.

A glint flashed in his deep, sharp eyes, and his voice involuntarily deepened. "Are you sure?"

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, his tone certain. "Zhang Geyang saw it with his own eyes, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Zhang Geyang Tower Master of the Star Luo Empire branch of the Spirit Pagoda Branch Tower, and also one of the four Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda. He is a genuine Level 98 Super Douluo.

En Ci could tell that Huo Yuhao was using the Spirit Domain, and Zhang Geyang could naturally tell as well.

Zhang Geyang was the most core member of the Qiangu Dongfeng faction, so he immediately sent the message back to headquarters through encrypted channels.

Qiangu Dongfeng frowned and said, "I understand, you can leave now."

After that person left, Qiangu Dongfeng leaned back in his wide chair and looked up at the Soul Guidance Chandelier on the ceiling that emitted a soft light.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, muttering something to himself.

There was an emotion in his voice that was so complex that even he himself could not completely distinguish it. There was emotion, fear, and a trace of fear that was extremely difficult to detect. "You're only fifteen years old."

After a long while, Qiangu Dongfeng slowly stood up from his chair and walked to the huge French windows.

Outside the window was Shrek City under reconstruction. He stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, but in the end he still raised his hand and pressed a string of Encrypted Channel numbers on the Communication Soul Tool.

The call was quickly connected, and a strange, sarcastic male voice came from the other end.

"Hey, isn't this the Great Tower Master of the Ages?"

Qiangu Dongfeng snorted heavily through his nose, "You must have quite a few people in the Star Luo Empire, right?"

The voice on the other end of the communicator paused for a moment, then let out a meaningful chuckle, full of undisguised mockery. "What, is the Tower Master trying to use someone else to do his dirty work again?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Qiangu Dongfeng's voice suddenly turned deep. "Huo Yuhao's Divine Power has entered the Spirit Domain Realm, and he has comprehended the Spirit Domain."

A dismissive chuckle came from the other end of the communicator, "Spirit Domain Realm, the Spirit Domain, sounds pretty intimidating indeed."

"But what does this have to do with us? He's threatening your position as the Tower Master."

Qiangu Dongfeng clenched his left hand tightly around the communicator. He took a deep breath and said slowly in a low voice, "Don't forget, he almost died at your hands during the attack on the Shrek Academy. He can't forget that blood feud."

"Do you want to wait until he grows up before settling scores with you one by one?"

"If we let him continue to grow, it won't be long before he becomes the second Yun Ming."

"By then, it will be too late for you to kill him!"

After a long silence on the communicator, a deep, chilling voice finally came from the other end, a stark contrast to the previous sarcastic and flippant tone. "Alright, we'll make our move."

Qiangu Dongfeng ended the call expressionlessly, letting out a long sigh.

After Leng Yaozhu kicked open his office door and threatened him by pointing her finger at his nose last time, he did restrain himself a lot and originally planned not to make a move against Huo Yuhao for a while.

But Huo Yuhao's growth rate was too fast, far exceeding his predictions and control.

A fifteen-year-old reaching the Spirit Domain Realm, comprehending the Spirit Domain at fifteen—this is a prodigy beyond the scope of the word "genius."

If I wait any longer, and he grows to become Titled Douluo or even Limit Douluo, I'm afraid I'll really have to hand over my position as the Tower Master.

So he had no choice but to use deadly force!

The Youth High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament has come to an end, and the Federation Inspection Delegation's various exchange activities in Star Luo City are also nearing their conclusion, with the itinerary not as hectic as when they first arrived.

Huo Yuhao and his fellow youngsters didn't have any substantial missions to undertake. Apart from their daily, unwavering cultivation, they spent their free time wandering around Star Luo City in small groups.

Savor the unique cuisine of the Star Luo Empire and experience the customs and culture that are completely different from those of the Douluo Continent.

That evening, Xie Xie changed into casual clothes and was just about to go out.

As soon as I reached the hotel lobby entrance, I caught a glimpse of a familiar golden Soul Guidance Car parked Glass Revolving Door, its license plate bearing a prominent Royal Emblem that gleamed in the setting sun.

He immediately slammed on the brakes, turned around with lightning speed, and dashed into the elevator doors that had just opened.

He rushed straight to the top floor, panting, and burst into Huo Yuhao's suite, collapsing onto the soft Leather Sofa.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Yuhao, that little princess Dai Yun'er from the Star Luo Empire is here again!"

Despite Xie Xie's startled reaction, Huo Yuhao remained calm.

Seeing his expression, Xie Xie jumped up from the sofa in a panic and earnestly reminded him, "You should give me some feedback! Gu Yue isn't here right now, you can't make a mistake!"

Huo Yuhao then glanced at him and asked in a calm tone, "What mistake could I possibly make?"

Xie Xie snorted heavily, crossed his arms, and gave a "I've seen through it all" look.

He analyzed with great seriousness, "This little princess has been coming every day these past few days, and every time she comes she specifically asks for you by name. The way she looks at you is so affectionate, and she always brings you different Star Luo Empire specialties."

"Isn't her intention obvious enough? She's interested in you, what mistake could she possibly make?"

"I'm warning you, you're taken. Gu Yue may seem Bingbing usually, but she's definitely not someone to mess with in this regard."

Huo Yuhao could see through Dai Yun'er's thoughts, but in his opinion, Dai Yun'er's attentiveness was not necessarily entirely her own will. Behind her, it was probably more likely that the Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianling, was pushing things along.

He casually picked up his coat from the sofa armrest, stood up, and looked at Xie Xie's nervous appearance. He couldn't help but laugh and retort, "You're lecturing me now? You have no experience of your own. If you're so capable, win over Xu Xiaoyan first before you talk to me about these grand principles."

Huo Yuhao had long noticed that Xie Xie liked Xu Xiaoyan, but he was too lazy to point it out.

At this moment, when Huo Yuhao pointed it out so bluntly, Xie Xie's usually thick-skinned face actually showed a rare blush of embarrassment.

He stammered in defense, "I... I have my own rhythm. What do you know? It's called taking things step by step, like a slow and steady stream."

"Don't change the subject, I'm talking about your business."

Seeing Huo Yuhao put on his coat and walk straight towards the door, he quickly asked, "Hey, where are you going?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand without turning his head. "Go see that little princess of the Star Luo Empire. There are some things that really need to be clarified."
