Qian Gu Dongfeng: I Forgot I Was Running a Monopoly!
Hearing Yin Hongye's words, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt there was some truth to them!
They should simply ban all Shrek Academy students from buying Soul Spirit, since they should now have a monopoly on this item!
Shrek Academy now certainly wouldn't know how to make it!
It must have been gone by then!
Yes, just block him!
That should solve the problem!
Would others hesitate to the Shrek Academy? Would these people really dare to risk offending the Spirit Pagoda and losing all future access to Soul Spirit Shrek Academy?
Mu Hongchen chimed in, covering up the plan's flaws and calming Qian Gu Dongfeng, "That's right! Shrek Academy can't do anything right now! The Spirit Pagoda is the Federation's largest organization. If you just pull out the list, who would dare send their child to the Shrek Academy!"
Standing on the stage, Qian Gu Dongfeng, who had initially suppressed his anger, became increasingly moved as he listened; what he said made perfect sense. He only needed to close the door, and Shrek Academy students would never be able to obtain Soul Spirit again. Without lifting a finger or even directly breaking ties, Shrek Academy would be unable to recruit anyone within a few years.
He didn't actually take action; he simply gave these families a choice.
He murmured, "This method works."
Qian Gu Qingfeng stood to the side, frowning, but didn't immediately respond. He felt something was off: was Yin Hongye really that kind? But he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
This is indeed a good solution!
However, he did not consider that if Qian Gu Dongfeng dared to do this, other families would be wary of the Spirit Pagoda. To be precise, if Qian Gu Dongfeng dared to do this, he would be making enemies of all the families in the Federation.
Long Yeyue stood by the platform, looking at Qian Gu Dongfeng with a furious expression, completely unaware that the two guys next to her, who were singing in unison, had successfully handed the knife to Qian Gu Dongfeng.
She was still shouting, "Qian Gu Dongfeng, today you must give Shrek Academy an explanation!"
Qian Gu Dongfeng looked at Long Yeyue and said disdainfully, "An explanation? What explanation do you need? You don't deserve an explanation from me! Shrek Academy has fallen, and that's it!"
"Don't be so blind to the facts!"
Long Yeyue, suppressing her anger, shouted, "Your Spirit Pagoda Academy is right in front of my Shrek Academy, deliberately trampling on my Shrek Academy! You must give me an explanation!"
"Long Yeyue, do you really think this is still your old Shrek Academy? Didn't we wake you up last time?"
Qian Gu Dongfeng stepped forward, smiling faintly, "Your Sea God Pavilion is gone, and those who could protect you are all dead. With just a Limit Douluo like you, what makes you think you can turn things around? With those two students behind you?"
Long Yeyue's expression changed. "Qian Gu Dongfeng, you..."
"Hmph, I'll make this clear today," Qian Gu Dongfeng interrupted him, "The Spirit Pagoda Academy starts today, and no one can stop it. As for your Shrek Academy members, every student there, and their respective families, they will all be blacklisted by the Spirit Pagoda for the prohibition of selling Soul Spirit."
Upon hearing this, the square erupted in an uproar.
Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen exchanged a glance and smiled, "Plan successful."
At this moment, outside the Heavenly Screen, ten thousand years ago during the era of the Unrivaled Tang Clan, Mu En had already discovered something.
"Isn't this just making enemies of the Spirit Pagoda? And, at first glance, this plan does seem like a very ruthless and vicious one!"
Mu En has realized that whatever the Spirit Pagoda does is a way of cutting ties with other families. Of course, some families will join and support the Spirit Pagoda.
But that would mean cutting ties with the Federation!
These words have essentially made the Spirit Pagoda as powerful as the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, but even more extreme.
Yan Shaozhe chimed in, "Back then, at least the Spirit Hall gave subsidies to Soul Master below the fourth ring. The Spirit Pagoda, on the other hand, strangled them at the root. Anyone who disobeyed could forget about improving their Soul Power unless they went hunting Soul Beast."
The elders beside Yan Shaozhe exchanged bewildered glances, none daring to speak. A single point of contention would reveal that this entire system was riddled with flaws.
Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen deliberately only mentioned the benefits and ignored the loopholes!
Meanwhile, in the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Palace.
Xu Jiawei sat in his study and trembled upon hearing the words from the Heavenly Screen.
"By saying this, the Spirit Pagoda is essentially forcing all families to choose sides," Xu Jiawei said with a smile to the old minister beside him. "Either choose Shrek Academy, or choose the Spirit Pagoda."
"But if we push them like this, everyone will become wary of the Spirit Pagoda, and they'll all be afraid that the Spirit Pagoda will treat them like this from now on."
Jing Hongchen shook his head. "Two clever people really did fool a complete idiot, deliberately hiding the flaws in the plan."
Kong Deming watched this scene without saying a word. Their Mecha were now almost perfected. In his judgment, this Mecha should be at the level of Black Level mech from later generations.
Dealing with the Martial Soul Avatar should not be a problem.
As for the Battle Armor, it already has a prototype.
In the Heavenly Screen, Long Yeyue was unsurprisingly at a disadvantage. She was no match for Qian Gu Dongfeng to begin with, and she had been beaten up not long ago, so her injuries hadn't fully healed yet.
This time, the Light-Dark Douluo charged forward with considerable momentum, but his Soul Power was clearly weaker than that of Qian Gu Dongfeng. At first, he struggled to block, then the attack made his arms go numb, and finally, the Coiling Dragon Staff was smashed directly onto his shoulder, knocking him to the ground.
"Long Yeyue, I let you off the hook last time, and you really think I'm easy to bully?" Qian Gu Dongfeng said.
Long Yeyue lay on the ground, trying to get up by supporting herself on her arms, but her shoulders hurt so much that she couldn't use her strength. She managed to stand up after two tries.
Tang Yinmeng and Lan Muzi rushed forward to help her, but she pushed them away, saying, "I can stand up by myself."
Qian Gu Dongfeng looked down at Long Yeyue and said, "Today is the start of the Spirit Academy, and you can't stop it. As for the matter of the Soul Spirit Ban on the Shrek Academy, I will enforce my word. If you're not satisfied, come at me. But I advise you first to heal your injuries. I will make you watch your Shrek Academy decline bit by bit."
"You'll spend the rest of your life in pain."
Watching this scene, Yin Hongye clicked her tongue and said, "The villain dies from talking too much! He dies from being too kind! Although, Long Yeyue can't cause any trouble!"
"What? You want to help her out?" Mu Hongchen asked with a smile.
Yin Hongye said speechlessly, "How is that possible? This old woman is hopeless. Back then, how did she try to commit suicide after the Heaven's Favor Douluo passed away? Tsk tsk tsk..."
"What the hell? In other words, does Vast Sea Douluo have unrequited love?" Qian Renxue wondered, "So, what is the name of this Heavenly Blessed Douluo?"
"I don't know, but everyone at the Shrek Academy calls him Elder Bei."
Upon hearing this, Mu En was filled with questions. So, it was related to him—no, it was related to Bei Bei.
