Opportunity, Shrek's Action

"Hall Master, judging by their routes, it is expected that they will converge in the core area of the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Wu Zhangkong reported to Xie An.

Xie An fixed his gaze on the screen and, sure enough, although the seven of them were not all gathered together, they were all moving deeper toward the core area of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"What kind of Spirit Beast is the guardian of this Spirit Ascension Platform of yours?"

Xie An turned his head to look at the staff member behind him.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, the guardian of this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

"Furthermore, due to the riot period, the strength of the Spirit Beast has increased significantly."

"I personally feel that your students may not be able to defeat the guardian."

Xie An nodded upon hearing this.

"Then let us wait and see."

The scene shifts from the Spirit Pagoda to Shrek Academy.

At this moment, at Shrek Academy, Cai Yue'er was lecturing the students she had recruited.

"There is only one month left until the Eastsea Alliance Grand Competition."

"You must remember that you represent Shrek Academy."

"You carry the glory of Shrek on your shoulders."

The several boys and girls led by Wu Sidu couldn't help but puff out their chests upon hearing this.

Although there was pressure, this glory was truly even more inspiring.

"Among you, only Wu Sidu has broken through to the four-ring cultivation level so far."

"The others are still stuck at the three-ring level."

"To increase our chances, the academy has specifically applied for some resources for you."

"If there are any special resources you want, you can bring them up now."

No one spoke; there was only full confidence in everyone's eyes.

They were certain that as members of the Genius Youth Ranking, among their peers, those who could defeat them—if any existed—were definitely few and far between.

Cai Yue'er looked at the spirit and demeanor of these students and was very satisfied.

She took a crystal bottle from her bosom, which contained a small amount of greenish liquid.

"This is the most essential part of the sap collected from the Golden Ancient Tree every year."

"It can be considered an advance reward from the academy for your victory."

"It is enough for each of you to use two drops."

"Cherish it well."

After saying this, she handed the small crystal bottle to Wu Sidu.

"You have the highest cultivation level here and are the captain of this team, so you should be the one to distribute it."

Wu Sidu reached out to take it, her eyes burning with intensity, and she placed one hand over her chest.

"I will definitely lead everyone to overcome all obstacles for Shrek and continue the glory of Shrek."

Cai Yue'er nodded in satisfaction.

"Distribute the resources yourselves; I won't stay here to influence you any longer."

After speaking, Cai Yue'er's figure vanished.

The boys and girls left behind quickly surrounded Wu Sidu to discuss how to distribute the resources.

Cai Yue'er appeared again in front of Long Yeyue's room.

"Elder Long, the resources have been distributed to those children. I believe they will make good use of them."

Long Yeyue's slightly hunched figure emerged from the room and nodded.

"Now, go and contact the person in charge of the Tang Sect."

"Tell them to build up the momentum again."

Cai Yue'er replied with some hesitation: "Elder Long, wouldn't that be inappropriate? Isn't the pressure a bit too much for the students?"

"Hmph, you still haven't understood the core spirit of my Shrek."

Long Yeyue let out a cold snort.

"Those who can enter my Shrek can all be called monsters."

"The development of my Shrek has reached a bottleneck in recent years."

"Ten thousand years ago, there was a Ming City Academy that wanted to challenge the authority of my Shrek."

"At that time, the Spirit Ice Douluo participated in the Youth Spirit Master Tournament and led his companions to win against stronger opponents twice."

"This is what re-established Shrek Academy as the number one on the continent and struck down the covetous hearts of Ming City Academy."

"This history is recorded in the school's history books right now; have you forgotten?"

"And now, the Federation wants to test Shrek again."

"We, Shrek, must strike back with the force of thunder."

"Beat the Federation into submission, or even knock them flat on the ground."

"Let the world know what it means to be Shrek."

"Furthermore, perhaps Shrek can take advantage of this opportunity to make another breakthrough."

A morbid obsession flashed in the eyes of Long Yeyue.

Cai Yue'er nodded, indicating she understood.

"I will go notify the Tang Sect now and have them report this matter."

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Tang Wulin and the others had already gathered at the core and continued to advance toward the deeper regions.

The further they ventured, the fewer the sounds of birds and beasts became.

Even the Spirit Beasts along the way had become extremely scarce.

"Gu Yue, where have we arrived?"

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue and asked.

If Long Yue were here, this question would naturally have been raised by him.

But with Long Yue currently absent, the question fell to the second-in-command, Tang Wulin.

Although Tang Wulin was not one of the strongest in the team.

Because of his control abilities and the amplification of his Blue Silver Grass.

Coupled with the support of the two girls, Na'er and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin had become the core figure of the team besides Long Yue.

Gu Yue, who originally hailed from the Spirit Pagoda, naturally answered upon hearing Tang Wulin's question.

"If my senses are correct, we should have reached the boundary zone between the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform and the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform."

"The Spirit Ascension Platforms are actually interconnected."

"Just like the outer perimeter and the inner regions of the Star Dou Forest."

"As long as you go deep enough, you can cross over."

"However, the only difference is that the boundary zone of the Spirit Ascension Platform is guarded by a powerful Spirit Beast."

Hearing Gu Yue's answer, Tang Wulin had already spread out his Blue Silver Grass.

He wrapped the vines around everyone, linking them together.

"All members, stay alert. Do not lose focus."

Outside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Xie An watched Tang Wulin's actions and nodded with satisfaction.

One could only say he was worthy of being the protagonist in Douluo who started with the worst innate conditions but ultimately rose to power with the least amount of external help.

Just as he wanted to continue watching their performance, his accompanying secretary suddenly stepped forward and interrupted him.

"Temple Master, a message from the Federation Secretary-General."

Xie An glanced at it, and an invisible barrier of soul power isolated the staff behind him before he chose to connect the call.

"Council Chairman, what business do you have with me?"

The somewhat low voice of the Federation Council Chairman came through.

"Take a look at the file I sent you first."

Xie An opened the information column with some confusion.

At first glance, a massive headline appeared at the top of the file.

<Shrek Academy's Campaign in Eastsea: Continuing Ten Thousand Years of Glory>

<Shocking: A tiny city like Eastsea actually had the honor of inviting Shrek to compete>

<The Dispute Between Shrek and the War God Temple Master: Is it Overestimating One's Capabilities or Sheer Arrogance?>

The further down the list of articles went, the more unbearable they became.

"Who did this?"

Xie An frowned slightly and asked with some confusion.

"The Tang Sect is behind it; the Federation has already gone to communicate with them."

"However, the results have been minimal."

Speaking of this, the voice of the Federation Council Chairman already carried a hint of anger.

"You are the War God Temple Master, and since you are leading this matter, you make the call."

The Federation Council Chairman quickly adjusted his emotions and said in a deep voice.

"Raise the stakes."

"Continue to hype up Shrek Academy even higher."

"Have our people build momentum for Shrek as well."

Cold words spilled from Xie An's mouth.
