Yuanen Zhentian calculated that he could extend his longevity by thirty years at least if he remained cultivating at Shrek Academy.

What could be more attractive to him than that? Furthermore, the Ancient Life Tree had also transmitted its consciousness to him. It informed him that every person from his clan that had cultivated to Limit Douluo-rank would qualify to cultivate by its side.

Why did Long Yeyue have the courage to reveal her youthful appearance to the public? It was because her issue with life energy had already been solved. She did not need to worry about her life energy depleting in a short while. The resurrection of the Ancient Life Tree was the true core of Shrek’s reconstruction!

Thus, Yuanen Zhentian and the entire Titan Giant Ape Clan were fully committed to Shrek Academy.

When Yuanen Zhentian first made the decision to relocate them, the clan had quite a lot of opinions. However, when they arrived, the clan unanimously agreed that it was their elder’s wisest decision. Staying there gave them access to the resources of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. The Titan Giant Ape Clan would certainly be able to flourish at Shrek. The clansmen would have a bright future. The Titan Giant Ape Clan was now considered the most powerful clan in Shrek!

Yuanen Yehui was the future of the clan and she was already a member of the Sea God’s Pavilion. Two of their clansmen had become the Sea God’s Pavilion members as well, which showed that Shrek valued them highly.

As a result, the Titan Giant Ape had been fully integrated into Shrek Academy.

Given that, Long Yeyue and Yali fully approved. Shrek Academy no longer had enough outstanding teachers, and there were two Limit Douluos in the Titan Giant Ape Clan. There were not many reclusive clans like this on the continent. Of course, it was great that the entire clan joined Shrek willingly. It was not an exaggeration to say that they had provided timely assistance to the academy.

Besides the two Limit Douluos, there were also so many Title Douluos and they had inherited the elite Titan Giant Ape martial soul. It was like the lineage had become a part of Shrek, indeed, one of the pillars of Shrek. Tang Wulin’s ability to draw in such an impressive clan was definitely beneficial for the academy’s resurgence.

Furthermore, the best part was that although the Titan Giant Ape Clan was formidable, they were not so powerful that they would dominate Shrek. The Light Dark Douluo and the Holy Spirit Douluo would still oversee Shrek Academy, in addition to the rapidly developing Shrek Seven Monsters. It was obvious that their overall capabilities were still superior to the Titan Giant Ape Clan. Both parties had mutual confidence in one another completely in addition to Yuanen Yehui’s mediating relationship. Of course, there was also the Titan Giant Ape’s ancestor, Er Ming.

As a result, they had placed themselves into Shrek’s hierarchy soon after their arrival, and their presence was accepted by the entire academy. Even the Limit Douluo Yuanen Tiandang had been employed as a teacher in Shrek Academy. Only Yuanen Zhentian was not allowed to be directly involved in teaching due to his age.

Yuanen Tianshang was offered a position as an outer court teacher. This second uncle of Yuanen Yehui had been depressed after countless hardships in the past. He was clearly much more optimistic after arriving at Shrek Academy. He was seen joking and chatting away frequently.

Qiangu Dieting’s originally exuberant manner appeared to have slightly stiffened. Even though Shrek was one man short, it would be rather difficult for Spirit Pagoda to achieve victory in this battle.

The ability to weigh the pros and cons was most important to people of their rank. If they were to fight against one another without a strategy for success, they would suffer more than just a simple loss. What if someone was severely injured? Especially when the three great Limit Douluos from the Qiangu Clan were present. Generally, it was very difficult to hurt a Limit Douluo, yet it was difficult to predict if the opponent was also a Limit Douluo.

Moreover, Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda were bound by a deep-seated hatred caused by a blood debt. One could tell from the way the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue’s eyes shimmered that this match definitely meant more to her than any simple battle.

Qiangu Dieting turned his head to the side to look toward Qiangu Dongfeng. How could Qiangu Dongfeng not be hesitant as well? Nevertheless, the day’s enrollment program would certainly be affected if the Spirit Pagoda were to give up at this point. Their plan to disrupt Shrek Academy would be spoiled again, would it not?

All of a sudden, there was a resonant dragon’s roar. A stream of golden light rose from the ground and flew into the sky in a split second like a golden dragon soaring to heaven.

Dazzling golden battle armor covered his entire body while he held the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand. Was that not Tang Wulin?

Qiangu Dieting was shocked beyond belief to see that not only did Tang Wulin appear to be uninjured, his aura was even more powerful than before.

How was that possible? He could clearly feel that he had broken many of Tang Wulin’s bones during that strike earlier! It had happened only moments ago, so how did he recover completely?

Tang Wulin had risen into the sky clad in his Dragon Moon Song battle armor. His aura then grew much larger. The Blood Golden Dragon Domain could be seen faintly underneath his feet. There was a flash of blood-red radiance as the light shined upon the seven people on Shrek’s team. At once, every single person’s body was illuminated with a gold-red radiance that rapidly elevated the group’s overall aura.

“Wait!” Qiangu Dongfeng suddenly shouted aloud.

Tang Wulin shifted his gaze toward him. “Is there anything you wish to say, Pagoda Master Qiangu?”

Qiangu Dongfeng arrived at his father’s side and looked at Tang Wulin with a burning gaze. “I didn’t expect to see so many Limit Douluos from Shrek. Combining both of our sides, there are already more than ten Limit Douluos’ worth of power here today. If we were to go all out and engage in a battle, I’m afraid that we could actually tear into space. It would cause spatial turbulence and elemental storms which will then affect the people below us. It could even result in a long-term elemental storm. I don’t think this is something that we want to see. Why don’t we call it a day? As long as Shrek is willing to return our divine mecha, we can just leave this matter at that. We shall repair the rest of the mechas by ourselves. What do you think, Tang Sect Master?”

Tang Wulin raised his brows ever so slightly and spoke indifferently, “It was you that denounced us publicly for your own mistake, but now you ask that we leave this matter be. Why should we leave it at that? I’m not certain that there will be spatial turbulence. Moreover, at this altitude and range, our Shrek has its own defense mechanisms.”

Qiangu Dongfeng replied in a slightly infuriated manner, “So you’re saying that you want to fight in this battle for sure?”

Tang Wulin smile. “It was not us that started the provocation. Also, I have said that our Shrek’s airspace is not to be violated. This has been a rule since twenty thousand years ago and it is also Shrek Academy’s rule. We have already shown our mercy to the intruder by leaving him alive, but you still come asking for this item?”

Cold radiance glowed brightly in Qiangu Dongfeng’s eyes. The loss of the other mechas could still be measured with money, but that was not the case for a divine mecha! It was beyond difficult to produce such a mecha! Although it was not equal to a set of four-word battle armor, it was certainly far more precious than three-word armor. Since the divine mecha from the Mecha’s Association was used for the Spirit Pagoda’s display, the Spirit Pagoda would have to bear the cost of its loss. How could Qiangu Dongfeng not feel the pain of losing so much money?

Even so, the circumstances were more powerful than the people. Tang Wulin’s return was the straw that broke the camel’s back. When the opponent had five great Limit Douluos on their side, it was impossible for Spirit Pagoda to achieve the victory in this battle of seven-on-seven regardless.

If they were to lose the battle, it would not only embarrass Spirit Academy, but it would also be a crushing blow to the Spirit Pagoda’s reputation. This was something that Qiangu Dongfeng would never agree to endure.

“Alright, that’s all for today then. Many are the years to come. We shall seek guidance again!” Qiangu Dongfeng showed his obeisance by cupping his hands together before his chest and saluting Tang Wulin. He waved his huge hand to beckon at his people. “Let’s go!”

No matter how revered Qiangu Dieting’s status, Qiangu Dongfeng was still the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda. The line of people from the Spirit Pagoda turned around and left after being summoned by Qiangu Dongfeng. They disappeared without a trace in an instant.

A hint of a smile emerged on Tang Wulin’s face. He called out aloud as he gazed at the departing silhouettes of the Spirit Pagoda’s team, “We won’t be seeing you off!”

Had it ended?

They did not fight?

The collision happened for only one moment before it ended?

All the members of the media were bewildered. They had just utilized all the publicity channels to promote this battle! Yet, the battle had ended before it even started? From the beginning to the end, all that happened was Tang Wulin being smashed down from the sky by the staff. The group from the Spirit Pagoda then retreated in a sad mess and they did not even take back their divine mecha.

All the media hosts were silent. Only the people with discerning eyes could see that the Spirit Pagoda had admitted defeat! They chose retreat instead of direct confrontation after learning that the number of Limit Douluos on their side was obviously less than Shrek’s.

Qiangu Dongfeng was a man that could assert or submit himself as the occasion required and he had displayed his ambition. Nevertheless, Spirit Pagoda had backed down. Although they had not formally acknowledged their defeat, their actions were no different from conceding.

Shrek’s overall ability was even more shocking to the crowd. Since when had the newly-reconstructed Shrek already possessed five Limit Douluos?

Shrek’s inner secrets were so impressive, huh?

Who would have known that despite having a clear advantage, Shrek did not insist on completing the great battle with Spirit Pagoda despite being diametrically opposed to one another. Then, what was the reason behind this?
