Turbid World: Under a Mountain of Pressure

After watching for a moment, Xiong Jun belatedly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute, isn't it just that Ling Bing came back and formed an alliance with the Master?

He won't object.

What was the purpose of the Master's previous concealment?

Xiong Jun pursed his lips, feeling like he had stumbled upon a huge scoop, but he couldn't quite make out the details.

But then he thought of something else.

Now that Ling Bing has become a junior member of the Spirit Pagoda, can't he take advantage of her?

"Greetings, Senior Xiong Jun."

The image of Huo Yuhao addressing him in that way filled Xiong Jun's mind, and a smug smile crept across his lips.

Ling Bing is no match for him now.

"Given Huo Yuhao's relationship with the Extreme North, shouldn't Snow Empress be the first to know of his return? No wonder Snow Empress went to Heaven Dou before... Wait, could those guys from Di Tian already know? Am I the last one to find out?"

Xiong Jun realized what was happening and curled his lip.

These guys like to exclude him, Old Bear, when they discuss things.

Tang Wulin was still One-Ring Soul Master and was not proficient in using his Divine Power. The two times he had entered that Sealed Space before, it was "Old Tang" who pulled him in. Now that he was actively searching, he couldn't find the way in.

Meanwhile, Turbid World also arrived in Skysea City. Unlike Cai Yue'er, he was more rational.

Instead of meeting with the Spirit Pagoda personnel first, he sought out Shen Yi to learn about the situation.

Seeing Shen Yi's furtive expression as he explained the situation, Turbid World sighed, "Why did you notify her first? You know she has a volatile personality, and her arrival could easily lead to trouble."

Leaving aside Xiong Jun, the Skysea Alliance has five first-tier cities and five Super Douluo in the Spirit Pagoda. If it really turns into a full-blown fight, Cai Yue'er will be the one who gets beaten up.

Unfortunately, Turbid World knew how stubborn this colleague was.

Back then, her Titled Douluo was "Silver Moon." Who in this era doesn't know the legendary Sun Moon Military God, Silver Moon Douluo?

In this situation, Cai Yue'er is neither from the Ming De Hall nor Soul Engineer, so the consequences of taking that Titled Douluo are obvious.

But Cai Yue'er did just that, until she returned severely injured one time, at which point her Titled Douluo was changed...

"..." Shen Yi stammered, speechless.

Turbid World stopped accusing, "Speaking of which, I only heard a general outline from you. What was the main cause of the conflict? What did she say?"

"To teach them a lesson on behalf of their elders."

"What did you say?" Turbid World thought he had misheard and asked again.

"They should be taught a lesson on behalf of their elders," Shen Yi said, bowing his head. "Then Xiong Jun appeared and slapped the dean away. According to their conversation, Tang Wulin is Xiong Jun's disciple."

"Because the commotion was so great, rumors have started circulating that Shrek teachers are bullying children... This public opinion is even more detrimental to the academy."

The Turbid World was dumbfounded.

What is a "pig teammate"?

That's a terrible teammate!

Didn't you check those people's identities beforehand? Or did you know, but still wouldn't turn back until you were completely doomed?

The complexities of this Turbid World are hard to describe in words.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Where is Chang Kong?"

"My senior brother has already left." Shen Yi looked away. "He's now a teacher for Class Zero, and fearing he'd be caught in the middle, he's already left Skysea City."

Turbid World opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly.

Arriving too late, it seems we'll have no choice but to bite the bullet and take on this mess.

Fortunately, the Pavilion Master granted him access to resources, so hopefully the Spirit Pagoda's asking price won't be too exorbitant.

The following day at noon, the scorching sun beat down on the streets of Skysea City. Turbid World arrived at the rooftop where Xiong Jun was, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, not from the heat, but from anxiety.

"Senior Xiong Jun-- "

Turbid World stepped into the room, intending to bow, only to find three people inside.

Xiong Jun, Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao.

"???" Turbid World was puzzled, but he didn't stop what he was doing because of his thoughts. "Senior Xiong Jun, thank you for troubling me with such a small matter."

"You're more polite than that old woman. Have a seat." Xiong Jun nodded. "But even if it was a small matter before, it's not so small now."

Before he finished speaking, the temperature in the room suddenly plummeted. The air around Huo Yuhao began to condense, and countless ice crystals refracted the sunlight with Seven Colors light, gradually coalescing into an elegant figure.

Gu Yuena glanced at Snow Empress beside Huo Yuhao, a barely perceptible fluctuation flashing in her eyes, and then projected a crimson figure onto the Soul Tool Communicator in her hand.

In the blink of an eye, two stunningly beautiful figures appeared.

"Snow Empress? Heavenly Phoenix Douluo?"

Turbid World's throat tightened, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The fact that the three top figures of the Spirit Pagoda have set their sights on this place speaks volumes.

Cai Yue'er, you're such a terrible teammate! You've ruined my life!

Snow Empress's icy gaze shifted slightly. "I heard that Shrek is going to discipline our disciples?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at Turbid World with a half-smile, "Since when have outsiders become the ones to lecture Leng Yaozhu disciple?"

Xiong Jun continued, "There are only three of us representing them; three others didn't come. That woman said she would discipline our disciples, and now we're here."

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

In this Turbid World, even breathing has become difficult.

Cai Yue'er, you've provoked six Titled Douluo at once, two of whom Limit, and one is close to the Limit?

You're really capable!

Turbid World's vision went black, and he almost fainted from anger on the spot.

He took a deep breath, carefully choosing his words, "You've all misunderstood. Cai Yue'er only spoke without thinking and had absolutely no intention of offending anyone. Shrek Academy has always held the Spirit Pagoda in high esteem; this incident was purely accidental."

Snow Empress's gaze met Huo Yuhao's. Recalling their conversation before the negotiations, she said:

"Isn't 'a misunderstanding' enough to settle this matter?"

"Of course!" Turbid World said, "Elder Cai is impulsive and has offended everyone. Shrek Academy is willing to apologize and make compensation."

Xiong Jun snorted coldly, "Compensation? What compensation can Shrek offer?"

Turbid World: "Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone..."

"Only Ten Thousand Years? At least Hundred Thousand Years!"

Leng Yaozhu and aloof.

"... Alright, Hundred Thousand Years." Turbid World looked at the three top-tier experts before him and could only reluctantly agree, "One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

The three people before him each represented a faction within the Spirit Pagoda. If the three of them joined forces and made Shrek pay a price, he wouldn't dare say no; he could only try his best to minimize the losses.

"There are seven people in total, how should we divide it?" Heavenly Phoenix Douluo said calmly.

Turbid World felt immense pressure on his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and... seven spots to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, how about that? The fault for this conflict lies with our side, but as you all know, we're not exactly rolling in Soul Bone."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes were subtle. "As far as I know, Shrek Academy's quota for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is only for people to return safely from there. Whether they can bring out the Immortal Herb depends on the whims of the Soul Beast there, right? That doesn't seem like much sincerity..."

Leng Yaozhu wanted Turbid World to increase the stakes, but at that moment, Snow Empress, who had communicated with Huo Yuhao telepathically, said:

"Yes. But for the safety of my disciples, I will personally go to protect them."

Xiong Jun glanced in Gu Yuena's direction and nodded slightly, "I will go myself."

Leng Yaozhu: "???"

Why are you out of sync with me? You don't want Soul Bone, you want Immortal Herb Soul Spirit?

For the Spirit Pagoda, powerful Soul Spirit aren't particularly valuable, let alone the fact that they have to rely on the whims of Immortal Herb to obtain them...

"..."

The two Limit Breakers are going in person? Are they trying to force Immortal Herb to agree?

Turbid World hesitated for a moment, but then thought that the academy could send someone to follow along, and calmed down, "Okay."

"The Soul Bone must be top-tier."

Xiong Jun ignored Leng Yaozhu's gaze and added, "Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."

"..."

Turbid World nodded with a bitter expression.

This time, the price we paid was rather high.

With that, Cai Yue'er's matter came to a temporary end. Next, regarding this incident, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo did not let the opportunity pass and, on the condition that the Spirit Pagoda would suppress some of the impact, extorted money from her again.

However, it only has a partial impact, such as on Cai Yue'er and public opinion surrounding this competition. They won't concern themselves with matters involving Federation warnings.

Seeing the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo so eager to extort money, Huo Yuhao and the others fell silent.

To be fair, this person does indeed clearly distinguish between public and private matters...
