Breaking Faith
Xu Xingyu didn't want to comment on the conversation between Xuan Zi and Wang Yan. This was the mentality of a normal power. A top power that would simply let a genius leave was definitely out of their mind.
This kind of philosophy isn't particularly suitable for an institution, since an institution is a place where every student learns useful knowledge and grows.
Therefore, this conversation further confirms that Xu Xingyu needs to properly reorganize Shrek Academy's education system in the future, but this will take some time to complete.
After all, although Spirit Contract Pagoda and Shrek Academy have a cooperative relationship, it is not good enough for them to interfere with each other's actions.
However, the mention of the Shrek Academy involuntarily reminded Xu Xingyu of the Tang Sect. She wondered what Tang Ya's plans were going to be.
After the previous Inner Court assessment, Xu Xingyu took some time to find Tang Ya and handed her the Tang Sect secret manuals she had obtained from the Immortal Herb at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Tang Ya was also greatly shocked when she saw those Tang Sect manuals, and asked where they had obtained them.
Xu Xingyu truthfully told the other party that she obtained it from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and used her Martial Soul to swear that she had not seen its contents.
After Tang Ya confirmed that these were indeed the lost secret manuals of the Tang Sect, she thanked Xu Xingyu and asked if she could take her to the lost treasure land of their Tang Sect, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
However, Xu Xingyu told Tang Ya that he had handed over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to the Dugu Family for disposal, since it was their ancestral medicine garden.
Tang Ya immediately retorted angrily that it was their Tang Sect's territory and had nothing to do with the Dugu Family anymore.
Xu Xingyu ignored the other person and instead started uttering some inexplicable words to herself.
"Why was the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well told to us by the Clear Sky Sect about the Spirit Contract Pagoda, and not by your Tang Sect?"
"Why is your complete Tang Sect manual in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Why didn't Sea God Tang San, teach the complete version to your Tang Sect?
"Think carefully about these questions. Once you understand the reasons behind them, will you still be able to hold onto your beliefs?"
After saying Xu Xingyu left without giving Tang Ya any chance to reply.
Before leaving, he gave Tang Ya a token unique to the Spirit Contract Pagoda and said that if Tang Ya wanted the Tang Sect to rise in the future, the Spirit Contract Pagoda could provide her with the necessary funds, but whether she could pay the price was up to her.
Xu Xingyu asked Tang Ya three questions in a row in order to shake Tang Ya's faith in Tang San.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense could spot these oddities.
If the Clear Sky Sect already knew the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, why didn't they tell the Tang Sect?
Both factions are sects that Tang San's ancestors were proud of, so there was absolutely no need to let one of them fall into ruin!
Furthermore, Tang San's failure to pass on the complete version of the Tang Sect Secret Arts manual is also a problem. If it is something that can only be obtained through testing, at least the testing location should have been left behind!
Tang Ya began to think deeply about these issues, and without realizing it, she started to withdraw into herself, even appearing sullen when Bei Bei approached her.
This led to Xu Xingyu coming to Bei Bei Xingyu's door, demanding an answer from her about why Tang Ya was withdrawn. Xu Xingyu simply replied that she was contemplating life.
This answer certainly didn't satisfy Bei Bei, so he immediately took action. However, after Xu Xingyu released a slight amount of Dragon God's pressure, Bei Bei couldn't even get close to Xu Xingyu.
Therefore, he could only give up on getting an answer from Xu Xingyu and could only spend his days with his girlfriend trying to soothe her feelings.
Tang Ya came to the competition because she had promised him that she wouldn't do anything foolish and that she would wait for his return at the academy.
Otherwise, Bei Bei might find an excuse to give up on this Soul Master Competition, since his wife is still more important to him.
As for why Xu Xingyu said those things that would undermine Tang Ya's faith in Tang San, the main purpose was to destroy her faith in Tang San.
Perhaps she can recover after this, but when she learns of Huo Yuhao's decision to leave the Tang Sect, and when she faces those in Heaven Dou City who no longer want to associate with her, she will remember those words again.
Since Huo Yuhao, the former chosen one, did not stand with the Tang Sect this time, it is basically impossible for the Tang Sect to rise again.
In the original novel, Shrek Academy helped the Tang Sect because the Tang Sect had a peerless genius like Huo Yuhao, and the Tang Sect's identity as an arms dealer was of great help to the Shrek Academy. Otherwise, they would have ignored the Tang Sect just like the Clear Sky Sect.
Currently, the Tang Sect Clan only has three disciples, including the sect leader. The most talented one, who was capable of leading the Tang Sect to rise, has left, and none of them are willing to provide the Tang Sect with funds or connections.
Under such circumstances, reviving the Tang Sect is nothing but wishful thinking and a pipe dream!
Therefore, Xu Xingyu told Tang Ya that Qiling Tower was willing to sponsor the Tang Sect, mainly to leave her with a glimmer of hope.
In this way, he could also bring the Tang Sect Clan under the Spirit Contract Pagoda.
Although Xu Xingyu disliked the Tang Sect's style, once the Tang Sect was brought under the control of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, changing that style wouldn't be an issue; it would just take some time.
Moreover, in theory, the Tang Sect is a very suitable force to be cultivated as an Dark Division. After all, the original Tang Sect was actually a sect established by assassins, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to return to their ancestors' original profession.
Of course, Xu Xingyu's main reason for doing this was to divert the Power of Faith Tang San left behind in the Douluo Continent.
The Power of Faith is not of much use to Xu Xingyu, since incense is poisonous. Absorbing too much Power of Faith to improve herself will make her bound by the Power of Faith.
Tang San is the biggest example. Because the Sea God Position he inherited is a divine God Position formed by the Power of Faith, he must maintain his Power of Faith at all times.
Otherwise, if no one on the mainland believes in Tang San, his God Position will fall, causing his level and strength to decline as a result.
However, Xu Xingyu did not only intend to weaken Tang San's strength in this way; after all, the Power of Faith could also be used in other ways.
This method will be a powerful weapon for him to defeat Tang San in the future, so we won't reveal it at this stage. You'll have to wait and see to find out.
