After this incident, the Spirit Pagoda should no longer stir up any major trouble!
In this way, we at least sever the Holy Spirit Cult's supply line to some extent!
Without artificial soul rings, even evil Soul Masters cannot breakthrough bottlenecks, which significantly hampers their development speed!
Then, with a solemn expression, he looked at the dozens of War Gods before him and said, "Shrek Academy has sent quite a number of Tang Sect disciples to investigate the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult, but until now, not a single clue has been found! This is highly abnormal."
Standing beside, Guan Yue seemed to have seen through his thoughts, "Hall Master, do you suspect that the true location of the Holy Spirit Cult is not within the federation?"
Chen Xinjie looked at him approvingly, "Exactly!"
Upon hearing this, one of the War Gods couldn't help but frown and say, "If it's really not within the federation, finding the Holy Spirit Cult would be as difficult as reaching the sky!"
On this Continent, there is more than just the federation!
Another War God gritted his teeth and said, "Indeed, if we don't figure out the location of the Holy Spirit Cult early, including us, all major powers may suffer bombardment from those Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shells!"
"The longer we drag on, the worse it gets. Hall Master, it seems that War God Hall cannot sit idly by any longer!"
Zhang Xinjie took a deep breath, "That is precisely why I summoned everyone here today!"
No one is ignorant of the proverb "When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
Guan Yue, deep in thought, propped up his chin and suggested, "If so, why not let each War God lead their own legion to search the areas close to the border? What do you think, Hall Master?"
In doing so, we can not only maintain stability around us but also take the opportunity to investigate the strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Chen Xinjie did not agree straightaway but instead asked the dozen or so War Gods present, "What do you all think?"
No sooner had he spoken than a War God declared, "I have no objections! Getting rid of the Holy Spirit Cult would also put my mind at ease!"
"I have no objections either. Relying solely on Shrek Academy to investigate could take forever!"
"That's right! Dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult is a matter for everyone on the Continent! Plus, our War God Hall is a first-class powerhouse!"
"Hall Master, give the order. As guardians of the federation, we War Gods have an unshirkable responsibility!"
Chen Xinjie nodded, his voice full of vigor, "Good! Starting from today, as the Vice Hall Master has suggested, each War God will lead their legion in a carpet search towards the border area!"
"As for the security of War God Hall, the Vice Hall Master and I will be in charge. You don't need to worry!"
The War Gods stood tall and proud, "Yes, Hall Master!"
Afterward, they swiftly turned and left...
After everyone had left, Guan Yue spoke in a complex tone, "Hall Master, you've probably wanted to do this for a long time, haven't you?"
Chen Xinjie was taken aback, then expressed his feelings, "You can't hide anything from you. Initially, I was afraid of retaliation from the Holy Spirit Cult, but now... even at the risk of a heavy blow, we can't let them run rampant any longer!"
Curiously, he asked, "By the way, you went to negotiate with Shrek Academy last time, didn't you? Tell me, how did it go?"
...
Shrek Academy!
On the duel platform of the match venue!
Looking at the Tang Sect disciple who had been beaten black and blue, he stared fixedly at Wu Dousi, who kept walking toward him...
He muttered indistinctly, "This... This guy must be a monster, right? Despite having already defeated nearly ten people before, he can still exert such strength!"
He truly felt that he had the worst luck, unable to comprehend why he had to duel with such an opponent!
While Wu Dousi just stopped a meter in front of him and said indifferently, "Surrender. You have hardly any Soul Power left, continuing to fight is just asking for trouble."
```
Although nearly dozens of duels had taken place, most of them were instant kills, resulting in her Soul Power hardly being depleted at all!
As these words fell, the Tang Sect disciple opposite hesitated for a moment, then shakily raised an arm, "I... I surrender!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly to acknowledge he had heard, and then declared, "This disciple surrenders. Please, Tang Sect disciples, send out the next competitor!"
The Shrek students below excitedly said, "Yeah! We've won another round; Wulin's strength is truly formidable!"
"That's right, with this round, that makes it eleven consecutive victories. The faces of the Tang Sect disciples must be green by now, hahaha!"
"They called for a duel with us without measuring their own strength. Don't they know that Shrek Academy is never short of monsters and geniuses?"
"I used to quite dislike Wulin, but today she brought so much glory to our class, I actually feel a bit of admiration for her deep down!"
"Do we... do we still have to keep dueling? This woman's strength is already on another level!"
"Give it up. Being ridiculed is better than humiliating oneself. Shrek Academy... truly lives up to its reputation!"
"Hmph, what's the use of brute force alone? If you really had the skills, you'd compare soul tools or hidden weapons with us Tang Sect!"
"Don't... don't say that. Don't you know that Shrek Academy is actually no weaker than our Tang Sect when it comes to soul tools?"
"Just forfeit. There's no need to continue the duel!"
Soon, these Tang Sect disciples reached a consensus and announced their forfeiture!
Having anticipated this scene, Xu Sheng spoke without hesitation, "The Tang Sect disciples forfeit, thus in this duel, Shrek Academy wins! Of course, this is just a small competition, so I hope the Tang Sect disciples won't take it to heart!"
...
After the duel ended, people gathered around Wulin...
Yiran said sourly, "Wulin, today you've hogged all the limelight!"
She had originally wanted to use this duel to prove her own strength, but hadn't expected Wulin to take down everyone by herself!
Nian Xia added with a smile, "Exactly, you didn't even let us have a taste of the action!"
Xu Yucheng coughed and said, "That... Wulin, I remember before the holidays, your soul power rank was only around Level Forty-Four, so how did it suddenly shoot up to Level Fifty?"
Luo Guixing also looked at her eagerly, "Yeah, yeah, Wulin, we're on the same team after all, it wouldn't hurt to tell us!"
Wulin's Beautiful Eyes lifted, "Do you really want to know?"
Everyone nodded eagerly, "Mhm, mhm!"
Wulin's expression suddenly turned cold, "Drop that thought. It's no use telling you!"
With that, she directly ignored them and walked towards Xu Sheng, who was talking with Tang Wulin and others...
She spoke with a hint of gratitude, "Teacher Xu, I owe my rapid improvement during this holiday to you!"
For some reason, she just wanted to say this in front of Tang Wulin and the others...
Xu Sheng glanced sideways with a warm smile, "While I can't deny my contribution, it's also due to your own talent!"
He had merely provided correct guidance to Wulin and Yuanen Yehui, without using external means to accelerate their cultivation!
