Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1557



Tang Wulin was astonished by this revelation. The Battle God Hall was the core of the federal government's military power, yet it had expressed support toward the Shrek Academy rebuild! This was virtually no different from gaining support from the federation itself.

"How is that possible?" If the federation wanted to see Shrek Academy return to its former glory, then it wouldn't have joined forces with the Spirit Pagoda in the first place.

Tang Wulin certainly wasn't naive enough to think that two godslayer missiles could be taken so easily unless there were issues within the federal parliament itself.

The public expression of support from the Battle God Hall was a true bombshell, and it indicated that the situation had spiraled out of the Spirit Pagoda and even the federation's control.

A thought suddenly occurred to Tang Wulin, and he asked, "Did this have something to do with Elder Long?"

Zang Xin chuckled, "Over a third of the members of the Battle God Hall are Shrek Academy graduates, but the truly decisive individual is naturally still Chen Xinjie. Without his support, there's no way the Battle God Hall would've been swayed. It seems that he's really made up his mind this time."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. The relationships of the older generation sure were complex!

As the most powerful Soul Master in the federal government, Chen Xinjie had overseen the Battle God Hall for over 50 years, and his position was all but unshakeable. In the military, neither the Mirror Douluo nor the Angel Douluo could compare with his status, and this expression of support from Chen Xinjie meant that the Shrek Academy rebuild wouldn't encounter any further obstacles.

Even the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't dare to oppose someone of Chen Xinjie's power and status!

With his support, everything would begin to move in the right direction. Even though the Tang Sect hadn't been vindicated, once the Shrek Academy rebuild was complete, it would be able to provide more assistance to the Tang Sect. 

In the blueprints for the new Shrek Academy, there was a section that was reserved specifically for the Tang Sect.

"This is fantastic news! We're finally on the right track now," Tang Wulin said in an excited manner.

Zang Xin nodded, and said, "There's another piece of good news: the super soul array defense system that the Tang Sect has been developing for over 100 years is nearing the completion of its development phase."

Tang Wulin had heard about this system from Zang Xin before, and it was a cutting-edge system that had been developed for Shrek City. It was a type of super defensive soul tool system, and to put it in simpler terms, if this system had been constructed prior to the bombing, Shrek City would still be standing now.

It was truly the ultimate defense.

"That's fantastic! How long will it take to be implemented?" Tang Wulin asked.

Zang Xin replied, "It won't be anytime soon; the system requires an enormous expenditure of resources. With the Tang Sect's current resources, it would take at least seven years to complete the entire super soul array defense system around the Sea God's Lake. On top of that, it would expend around a third to a half of all of the Tang Sect's resources."

Tang Wulin was stunned into silence upon hearing this. The Tang Sect had been accumulating resources for 20,000 years, yet over a third of it was required to complete that system. This was a truly staggering concept!

Zang Xin smiled, and said, "But it's all worth it. With this system, both our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy will be safe from attacks like the previous one."

Tang Wulin nodded in response. "The severe shortage of resources on the continent really is a huge issue."

Zang Xin continued, "After completing this system, the Tang Sect will aim all of its research and development in two directions, one of which is to restore the environment, while the other is to explore outer space. Hopefully, we can find a future for our Douluo Star through our efforts. This is a special time period, so as the Tang Sect Master, you'll be solely responsible for external affairs. Once Shrek Academy is completely rebuilt, we'll be offloading all of the internal affairs onto you as well, so you'll be facing even more responsibilities."

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. "Don't dump it all on me; you should give me a hand!"

Zang Xin chuckled, "Don't even think about it. Old Man Cao and I are far too old for this; it's time for young people like you to take over. However, there are some things that have to be done first. The Holy Spirit Cult has been quiet for a very long time, and that's very abnormal." 

Ever since the Holy Spirit Cult reappeared, it had been constantly wreaking havoc, but it suddenly seemed to have disappeared again. During this joust for a spouse event, the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda had actually made preparations for involvement from the Holy Spirit Cult, but they never appeared. 

Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "They have indeed been too quiet."

Zang Xin said, "They haven't done anything on the Star Luo Empire or Dou Spirit Empire, either. This is a very abnormal situation, and we have to make more preparations. You're already a Divine Blacksmith; craft your suit of four-word battle armor as quickly as possible. Once you become a four-word battle armor master, you'll be able to ensure self-preservation at the very least."

Tang Wulin nodded in response. In addition to himself, he also had to begin preparing his friends' suits of four-word battle armor. The only problem was that with his current skill level, he was still unable to craft his own suit of four-word battle armor.

"Alright, get some rest; we'll be leaving tomorrow morning."

Thus, the people from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy departed through various avenues just as silently as they had arrived. The federal government displayed no intention of vindicating the Tang Sect, but nor did they release any warrants for arrest.

It seemed that the Spirit Pagoda was swallowing this bitter pill in silence.

Tang Wulin sat in the VIP booth of the high-speed soul train, looking at the scenery flashing past him out the window in a rare moment of relaxation.

Across from him, Xie Xie had just laid his head onto Yuanen Yehui's shoulder, only to be pushed aside with disdain.

Er Ming was seated beside Tang Wulin, and he was happily chomping on a roast chicken they had just purchased in the train.

Their destination for this trip wasn't Shrek Academy. Instead, it was the Yuanen Family.

The issues surrounding Yuanen Yehui had to be resolved as quickly as possible. Yuanen Yehui was already a Soul Douluo, and she wasn't as heavily affected by her Fallen Angel martial soul as her mother had been due to her twin martial souls, but the impact still existed. Er Ming had already declared that the issue could be resolved, but the Yuanen Family was still unaware of this. They had to disclose all of this information to Yuanen Zhentian, and only then could Yuanen Yehui be accepted by her family. At the same time, Er Ming also wanted to be accepted by the family he had created.

"Are you asking for a beating?" Er Ming glowered at Xie Xie with a menacing expression.

Xie Xie chuckled, "Of course not; as your disciple and descendant-in-law, I have to work hard to create more descendants for you!"

Er Ming rolled his eyes in response. "You really have no shame."

As opposed to being insulted, Xie Xie took this remark with pride. "How else would I have landed my wife?"

"I'm not your wife," Yuanen Yehui countered with a roll of her eyes.

Xie Xie cleared his throat in response. "Alright, let's not have a lover's quarrel in front of Boss."

Tang Wulin turned to Xie Xie with a smile, and said, "I heard from Senior Er Ming that you've been making big improvements lately, Xie Xie!"
