All graduates from the Spirit Academy would be given priority to work for the Spirit Pagoda.

The first president of the Spirit Academy was the Spirit Pagodas spiriter Qiangu Zhangting.

Actually, Qiangu Dongfeng wanted to offer the position to the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena, but she had been engaged in closed-door cultivation ever since that day. Qiangu Zhangting was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, and there was nothing he could do. In fact, he even quarreled with his grandfather who suggested the idea to him.

Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled and ignored the quarrel. It was a good thing that Qiangu Zhangting had a physical relationship with Gu Yuena. The anger would only be temporary. If you had taken a woman as yours, would she still run away from you? Qiangu Dongfeng was completely at ease with Gu Yuena at last.

The position of the first president of the Spirit Academy was thus given to Qiangu Zhangting. The position was for him to gather experience in preparation for inheriting the position of the Pagoda Master in the future.

The Spirit Academy had already been built earlier. Qiangu Dongfeng had been disseminating rumors during the Joust For A Spouse Festival. He had never made a proper announcement to the public all along.

In targeting Shrek Academy, this was the Spirit Pagodas trump card. It was meant to be a crushing blow for the opponents most important mission.

Whatever the perspective, the Spirit Pagoda had the upper hand. Shrek Academy had just been reconstructed. Even if they had the support and resources from all sides, Shrek was not equipped with some of the core resources needed for the cultivation of soul masters.

Unlike in the past, it would be difficult for the soul masters to acquire martial souls in the Great Star Dou Forest. In order to elevate ones cultivation base, a spirit soul was indispensable. The Spirit Pagoda operated autonomously. The academy was apparently open to all the soul masters. The cultivation fee had been greatly reduced for the Spirit Academy at present. It was extremely attractive to those outstanding students who were not well off but were blessed with excellent natural endowments similar to Tang Wulins situation when he was young.

Moreover, there was also the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. Currently, it had an influential position in the society. Huge profit margins were drawn each day making the Spirit Pagoda even more confident.

Although Shrek managed to triumph during the Joust For A Spouse Festival, Qiangu Dongfeng hardly panicked. He waited until the enrollment of students for the Spirit Academy to deliver Shrek Academys heaviest blow. He used the Spirit Pagodas resources to completely suppress Shrek. It was something Qiangu Dongfeng had always wanted to do.

One could see the entire Spirit Academy from the highest point of the Spirit Pagodas headquarters.

The Spirit Academy was formed by two connecting hexagons which were identical. One of the hexagons was the soul master academy, while the other was the mecha academy.

At present, Gu Yuena was observing the two academies below as she stood gazing by a window.

What choice did he have when he was confronted with such a challenge? It was most difficult to deal with as it was delivered in an upright and dignified manner.

The Spirit Pagoda was trying to subdue Shrek by force. It was Qiangu Dongfengs most cruel ruse!

Gu Yuena was feeling slightly worried in her heart but she was incapable of doing anything now. Besides, there was nothing she could do either. She could only choose to stand aside from opposing him by relying on the situation between her and Qiangu Zhangting.

More importantly, the melodrama between Gu Yuena and Qiangu Zhangting was just an act for Qiangu Dongfeng. She wanted him to trust her completely and not waver in uncertainty. Everything was developing as planned.

Her soul communicator rang.

Gu Yuena took a glance at the number. A condescending look appeared on her face. She picked up the call.

What is it? Her voice sounded icy cold without any emotion.

Na Na, hows your closed door cultivation going? Its not good to always stay inside. In a few more days, its going to be our Spirit Academys opening. Do you want to join me for the event?

Gu Yuena replied in an icy cold tone, Nope. Dont disturb my cultivation if theres nothing important. Upon saying that, she hung up the call.

She refused to humor Qiangu Zhangting with feigned politeness and compliance. What had transpired was a good thing . At least, she had an excuse to stay away from him temporarily.

Qiangu Zhangting had no choice but to hang up the call. Even though he still found himself feeling contented and excited for no reason whenever he thought about the incident, it felt like he was paying a huge price for it. It had been a long time since he had last seen her. He felt comforted knowing she had remained inside the Spirit Pagoda. It put him at ease. However, he could not allow this to continue either!

She still refuses to come out? asked Qiangu Dongfeng smilingly as he looked at his grandson.

Qiangu Zhangting said with a bitter smile, Yes! Grandfather, look. Youre the one who caused this problem. Had you not convinced me to do it, this wouldnt have happened.

Qiangu Dongfeng burst out laughing. Foolish boy, shes just throwing a little tantrum. Is she not doing this because she wants you to pay more attention to her in the future? Na Na is a girl with a strong personality. Do you think youre capable of getting what you want if shes unwilling? Dont forget that youre not a worthy opponent of hers in a fight.

Upon hearing those words, Qiangu Zhangting felt even more depressed. Grandfather, why do think this is happening though? I am cultivating with great effort already, and you said that Im considered outstanding amongst the younger generation. Yet, why is the disparity between Na Na and me becoming greater? Her actual combat ability is almost close to a Hyper Douluo now. I really dont know how she cultivates.

Qiangu Dongfeng smiled. Thats not important. The more important part is that shes going to be one of us. This girl is actually very intelligent. Why do you think shes yet to reject you? In a sense, I think shes doing it to show me. Her refusal to acknowledge you is her way of expressing her dissatisfaction in this matter. However, the substantial development she had with you earlier is to placate me and let me know she isnt unfaithful. Na Na is beautiful and intelligent. If youre able to control her, shell absolutely be your greatest assistance. However, her abilities surpass yours at the moment. On the other hand, its highly possible that youll never surpass her. Since this is the case, its fine also for you to assist her. As long as your child bears the surname of Qiangu, shes still doing her part for the clan regardless of how shes tormenting you.

Qiangu Zhangtings lips twitched once. I still think youre reading too much into this. However, I dont think Na Na will ponder much on this matter.

Qiangu Dongfeng spoke in an unpleasant tone, This is precisely where youre weaker than her. Compared to her, youre still a little naive. You must not be presumptuous with your thinking. Alright, dont focus all your attention on love alone. Were about to begin the enrollment soon. Dont cause any accidents. This time, dont give Shrek Academy any opportunity to shine again.

In his final sentence, Qiangu Dongfengs eyes were bitter with a murderous intent. His intention was very simple. The Spirit Pagoda was standing at the pinnacle of success now. No other forces were allowed to threaten the Spirit Pagodas power.

The closer they were to the opening date, the more he had to improve the Spirit Pagodas status. The Spirit Academy was included as well. Besides, it was a crucial factor. If the Spirit Academy became the next Shrek Academy, then the Spirit Pagoda would stand tall in the world for eternity.

Qiangu Dongfeng was the most ambitious Pagoda Master in recent times. He spent a large amount of the Spirit Pagodas profits into the research and development of soul technology.

He saw that the mechas and other soul weapons were progressing at tremendous speed following the advancement of soul technology.

It was the reason for the drop in the soul masters status in the world. Technology would always drive the production of more powerful abilities.

The Spirit Pagodas foundation was its spirit souls. What if soul technology was so advanced that there would be no need for the spirit souls anymore? What would be the significance of soul masters then?

However, the Spirit Pagoda would remain the most powerful organization if they controlled the most powerful soul technology.

What did Tang Wulin rely on to stop a war? He relied on the Tang Sects soul technology which included the high-end fixed soul ammunitions and guidance system.

The Spirit Pagoda focused their research on spirit souls in the past. On the other hand, he strove for transformation ever since the ten-thousand year spirit soul was developed.
