Yuanen Yehui said,
Not that I’m confident of him, but I’m more confident of Wulin. The Spirit Pagoda brought it upon themselves in provoking us, so we shall let them have a taste of our power this time. Their biggest flaw is their lack of understanding toward us in our sophisticated fighting ability. We’re not allowed to engage in a fight between the two academies although they may have laid down their traps. We have more trump cards than they imagined. More importantly, they’re unaware of the existence of the Seven Holy Abyss.

At the mention of the Seven Holy Abyss, Yuanen Tiandang’s expression turned peculiar at once.
Those seven people are truly terrifying.

Yuanen Yehui had a slight change of countenance.
Let’s not talk about them anymore. Frankly, I don’t want to see them for the rest of my life if possible. Father, have you been to the Seven Holy Abyss?

Yuanen Tiandang spoke with a bitter smile,
I’ve been there before, so I can understand your aversion. I don’t wish to meet them either. Yet, I’ve to admit that to be cultivated and trained by them at your age will prevent tragedies in the future.

There was a saying of ‘being enamored with the secular world’. If one were to say that Shrek was educating the students, then the seven old demons were refining one’s mind. Without a doubt, those who passed the test or underwent the training would benefit immensely for their future growth.


Yuanen Yehui said,
It’s fortunate they’re on our side. The entire plan this time is drafted by the Old Demon Greed with Wulin. The Spirit Academy is in trouble.

Yuanen Tiandang burst out laughing.
That’s a good thing actually. We shall wait for the show then. Go back and take a rest. I’m going to continue now.


Hmm, hmm.

The news of Yuanen Yehui blasting three hundred mechas away with one punch spread like wildfire through word of mouth.
The biggest contributor was naturally the live broadcasts of the numerous reporters on the scene.
The news of the open competition between the two academies had spread across the continent. The advanced academies and soul masters all over the continent were focused on the matter now, especially the advanced academies. The academies had all pushed back their enrollment dates to await the victor of the enrollment program between the two competing academies. Later, they would draft their own enrollment strategies.
Shrek appeared to be at a disadvantage in the beginning because the Spirit Pagoda’s resources were truly abundant. In this aspect, Shrek Academy was incapable of competing against the Spirit Pagoda.
Who would have known that such a drastic turn of events would happen? It took only one punch to knock off the Spirit Pagoda’s domineering influence. There were so many mechas! To top it off, Shrek sent only one person who then unleashed a single punch to thwart them all.
In comparison, the Spirit Pagoda’s earlier provocation seemed amusing akin to the actions of a contemptible scoundrel.
The queue on the Spirit Academy’s side turned chaotic after ten minutes.



Dear, what’s going on? Why are you calling me on the communicator? I’m queueing up with our son. What? What are you talking about? Shrek Academy’s solitary powerhouse defeated three hundred mechas with one punch? That’s quite impossible, isn’t it? The mechas were still flying in the sky earlier. Right, the mechas aren’t here now. It seems like they’ve flown over to Shrek Academy. Oh my god! If that’s true, Shrek Academy is really impressive. I heard that the Shrek Seven Monsters have only been cultivating for a decade. What should we do then? Sure. We can surely make the change. Our son’s natural endowments are quite impressive too. Anyway, we can still return to the Spirit Academy in time if we fail the interview at Shrek.

Similar soul communications soon popped up all over. The crowd was having myriads of discussions too.
Initially, there were only a handful who decided to switch over. However, a trend began to take place. The crowd was getting restless.
At the Spirit Academy.

What?
Qiangu Zhangting heard the news and turned green with rage. Divine mecha, it was a divine mecha! They had headed over to Shrek and provoked them. Never mind losing a divine mecha, they were defeated by just one person from the opposing side.

President, the crowd that’s waiting for registration is starting a commotion. What should we do now? We need to stabilize the situation!


Good-for-nothing, all of you are good-for-nothing. You, stay on guard here. I’m going to meet the Pagoda Master.
Upon saying that, Qiangu Zhangting immediately left the registration area and headed to the other building.
Before he reached the academic building, a light shadow flashed once before him. Qiangu Dongfeng appeared with a gloomy expression.

Grandfather, what should we do?

Qiangu Dongfeng was sombre. He had not expected this to happen either. They sent out three divine mechas and ended up being humiliated. Could they still call the mechas the most formidable fighting force available on the continent?


They must immediately respond to the situation at hand. Otherwise, Shrek would benefit from the public’s change of heart when the riots spread.
Qiangu Dongfeng took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice,
We can’t worry about anything else at the moment. Firstly, we must prove that we’re more powerful than Shrek. We’ve powerhouses on our side too. Secondly, we must calm the hearts of the people. We’ll spare no effort even if we have to pay a hefty price.

Qiangu Zhangting said,
What do you think we should do? The people are already running over to Shrek Academy now.

Qiangu Dongfeng spoke in a cold voice,
I’ll pay a visit to Shrek Academy personally. Take control of the situation here. Make a public announcement that each accepted student will receive a one-thousand year spirit soul which is compatible with his or her martial soul for free.


Huh? Isn’t that a little too much?
Qiangu Zhangting was startled.
Qiangu Dongfeng glared at him.
We must be decisive when it comes to making decisions. It may be a high price to pay but it’s worth the price. Do you know the cost of making a spirit soul? Take good care of this place. I’ll be seeking justice from Shrek. I figure they won’t be waiting helplessly for their destruction.

As he was speaking, Qiangu Dongfeng leaped up and transformed into a stream of light before charging into the sky.
Qiangu Zhangting calmed his mind as well. He immediately looked for the person-in-charge to make the public announcement of their latest offer.
The three mechas were in a terrible state while a divine mecha master was severely injured. The situation was truly horrifying. It was especially asinine because they were seen as a joke!
The mechas helped one another. Some of the mecha masters managed to break free from their severely damaged mechas with the help of their companions.


It was a major loss. The repair costs of the mecha mounted to huge sums. There was even a divine mecha captured by the opposing side. Obviously, Shrek did not have the intention of returning the divine mecha.
The remaining two divine mechas had no idea how to end the skirmish when they received the soul communication from Qiangu Dongfeng.
The message was simple. They were instructed to control the situation and await the arrival of Qiangu Dongfeng.
It was not long before dozens of silhouettes flew toward them from the distance akin to meteors. The silhouettes appeared in the sky and exuded a form of stress on the people. The reporters in Shrek Academy could not help paying attention to their presence.
Some of the parents were totally speechless. What a grand show they put on today! The people from the Spirit Academy were heading over here now.
Thirty over silhouettes descended from the sky and landed in front of the numerous mechas.
Even though Qiangu Dongfeng had seen the tragic state of his people earlier via the live broadcast, he still turned green with rage upon witnessing the scene with his own eyes.
The words ‘good-for-nothing’ almost slipped his tongue.
The two divine mechas opened their cabin doors and out jumped two middle-aged men. They looked miserable as well. Their encounter today was an utter disgrace.

Pagoda Master, we’re deeply sorry.
Both of them had no idea how to explain their failure. The only thing they could do was to lower their heads to express their regret.


Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand.
I’ll handle the rest. Sorry for troubling the both of you. Please join us in the following procedure. As for the rest of the mechas, please return to the academy for a loss assessment.

The two divine mecha masters nodded. Despite the fact that they were considered fighters at their peaks, they dared not show the slightest arrogance in front of the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master. After all, the person before them was the true master of the continent.
