So what if it was a conspiracy? If there was a conspiracy, then it should be crushed. He would never allow the final victor of this Joust For A Spouse event to be someone else other than him. Even if it was just namesake, he would never allow another man to be her boyfriend.
“Big brother, do you really want to take part in this event? You’re going to step into their trap!”
Yuanen Yehui hastily said, “Wulin, calm down first. We should give the matter some further thought and discuss it.”
Tang Wulin turned around to take a glance at them and smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m feeling very calm. I’ll certainly take part in this Joust For A Spouse event. Don’t worry about me. For Tang Sect and Shrek, I won’t act recklessly. I’ll properly carry out the plan. I’m going to make the Spirit Pagoda lose the bait along with the fish this time.”
...
“Goddess, goddess, goddess!”
The cheering voices appeared in many places. At least, one could frequently hear such shouting voices on the streets of Mingdu City ever since the two video presentations were played.
Spirit Pagoda’s publicity stunt could be described as thick with commercials upon receiving the support from parliament. Their influence had spread over every corner of the continent.
As compared to Tang Wulin’s achievement in the Battle of Five Gods in Star Luo Continent, the Joust For A Spouse event had an even bigger publicity stunt.
The influence from the Battle of Five Gods grew stronger with the progress of the competition. On the other hand, the Joust For A Spouse Festival had yet to begin but the intensity of the event had already exploded. The population on Douluo Continent was much higher than Star Luo Continent. Gu Yuena’s name rose to fame at once and was already well known to every family.
The publicity was carried out to this point even before it had drawn to a conclusion. Spirit Pagoda acted intelligently by discontinuing any more publicity but they allowed the information about this Joust For A Spouse Festival to naturally brew on its own.
The rest of the information regarding Gu Yuena was sealed with strict security. On the other hand, it was already sufficient for the public to learn about her exquisiteness and her powerful abilities.
Many of the young soul masters were already filled with motivation, especially those with qualified cultivation base. They were rubbing their palms in anticipation. The soul masters with inadequate cultivation base could only sigh in dejection and regret their lack of effort in cultivating on usual days as they began cultivating painstakingly.
Those with cultivation base close to six-ringed with only slight disparity were the most motivated ones. They spent every day cultivating frantically in the hope that they could catch up to that last ride in time.
There could only be one victor in Joust For A Spouse. However, there were ample rewards to gain in addition to the hope that everyone had been anticipating. Thus, almost every person was eagerly waiting for the arrival of this Joust For A Spouse event. Many people were even calling out the organizer to begin the event sooner!
The news about Shrek Academy’s reconstruction was already completely concealed by now. Only the people that were closely related to it would continue to pay attention to its development.
In the period of one short month, the foundation laying work was basically completed. This was because it would take time to build many of the buildings. For example, it would take time to wait for concrete to harden after it was laid. The materials and building would be able to withstand for a longer period of time with good maintenance. Thus, a certain amount of time was needed.
With adequate craftsmen and full efforts, the academy’s reconstruction had already taken shape.
According to the agreement between Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, the Shrek Academy in future or in other words, the rebuilt Shrek City would be built around Sea God Lake.
Shrek Academy had also included Sea God Lake back then, just that the area of Sea God Lake was much larger this time. On the other hand, if they could resolve the issue with the destructive energy in the Sea God Lake, then Shrek Academy would have its entirely distinctive taste too.
The construction work for three academic buildings was carried out with intensity. All sorts of soul devices were set up at faster speeds and many of the items used were ready-made. Tang Sect’s powerful ability in soul device making was also revealed at this moment. The devices were continuously being transported to the construction site through all sorts of underground channels and then these devices were assembled and installed rapidly.
Only the true core personnel were truly aware of the number of soul devices used in Shrek Academy.
Due to the lack of disruption from the outsiders, the academy’s reconstruction process was going very smoothly at present. On the other hand, new information was spread at this time.
The federal fleet that headed to the Star Luo Empire to wage war would be returning ten days later.
Though the operation this time was not considered a failed retreatment, it was still true that they had no gains at all. The federation had no choice but to consider this as a failed operation.
The long-range consumption of resources was massive too. The federal fleet’s return was not good news for Tang Sect as the fleet would be bringing along a large number of powerhouses upon their return. Moreover, these powerhouses were definitely vengeful enough to destroy Tang Sect.
War God Hall’s Hall Master, Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie was the representative figure. Many people were wondering in secret if his return would result in the federation making a move on the Tang Sect.
The treasonous organization would have to be doomed!
On the surface, Spirit Pagoda’s Joust For A Spouse Festival widely attracted the public’s attention. In the dark, the great forces of the federation were paying attention to the federation’s action to reprimand Tang Sect.
...
“It’s good to be foolish at times.” A hoarse and deep voice filled with ghastly coldness spoke. “I didn’t expect that Qiangu Dongfeng would think of such a trick.”
His entire person was covered by eerie green radiance. His face could not be seen clearly but ghastly aura filled the air surrounding his body.
The person sitting not far away from him was precisely the man who attacked Tang Wulin and had an outburst of incomparably powerful fighting capacity, Underworld King Ha Luosa.
“It’s going to be good for our plan. The public and even the federation’s attention is fixated upon this Joust For A Spouse Festival and targeted negatively at Tang Sect now. There is even less people that will affect our operation. How’s everything with the preparations?”
Ghost Emperor said, “Almost done. We’re waiting for news from their side now. The federation’s foolishness has opened up many opportunities for us. If we can succeed this time, then we’ll be close to achieving our ideal.”
Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa spoke in a deep voice, “Don’t act carelessly. Remember when we lost the opportunity during the few attempts earlier that failed due to our carelessness. The war is supposed to be waged smoothly to attract the public’s attention. Moreover, we can receive more gains from the war. Now that there’s no war, we can only act on surprise element. How’s his Excellency Demon Empress doing?”
Ghost Emperor giggled. “Everything is well. We’re already equipped with the possibility to make a preliminary move.”
Ha Luosa stood up with cold radiance shimmering in his eyes. “Very well! I’ve already waited too long for the arrival of this very day. We must succeed this time around. From now on, keep everyone involved in this operation in captivity. Don’t leak even the slightest bit of information to the outside. At the same time, begin the preparation for that side.”
Ghost Emperor stood up and walked to the front of Ha Luosa. “You’re going to rejoice for your choice back then for sure. Heh-heh-heh-heh.”
...
As the date of Joust For A Spouse approached, the cost of hotel stay in Mingdu increased drastically. Even a small ordinary hotel’s cost could almost catch up to a grand hotel now.
Powerhouses came from everywhere and so did the ordinary people that came to watch the festival in the city. They were anticipating the arrival of this grand event. On the other hand, while working together with Spirit Pagoda, the federation was also making good profit through live streaming of the event and tourism. The reason that caused the federation to promote this event was simple. It was meant to divert the public’s attention and conceal the effect of the failed war on the federation’s political situation.
Ten more days until the start of the competition. On the other hand, the federal fleet had already returned yesterday. They had each returned to their station. At present, the military had yet to reach the final verdict on when to wage another war on Star Luo Empire and Dou Spirit Empire. It was still in the discussion stage.
Judging by the current situation, the military had yet to come up with a plan for the time being.
At the same time, the loudest voice from the parliament called for maintaining internal security first before engaging foreign invasion. Some of the especially radical great forces in the Hawk Faction proposed to carry out a complete elimination of Tang Sect. The proposed topic was already submitted to the parliament’s supreme assembly.
Due to the Dove Faction and the Independent Faction’s strong opposition in addition to the silent influence brought by the reconstruction of Shrek Academy, the proposed topic had yet to pass in the parliament at present.
