"Well? Does the Northern Legion still refuse to release Master Zhao?"
In the underground weapons factory of Tang Sect in Tiandou City, the Amorous Douluo, Zang Xin, asked his subordinates in a low voice.
"They not only have no intention of releasing Master Zhao, but they are also constantly demanding an explanation. They want to know why our fighter jets appeared in their military defense sea area," one of the Tang Sect members reported.
"Hmph, they're just bluffing. Don't pay them any mind, keep up the pressure," Zang Xin said coldly. Whether it was the underground weapons factory in Tiandou City or their dealings with the Green Skeleton Rebellion, everything was done in the shadows.
No matter what, he needed to see Zhao Xiong Yi, alive or dead.
The more the Federation government refrains from acting against them, the more he believes that the Federation is behind Zhao Xiong Yi's disappearance.
In his view, only the Federation would have the power to quietly capture Zhao Xiong Yi.
Now, Tang Sect was operating at full force, reaching out to every organization they could contact, continuously pressuring the Federation government.
The Merciless Douluo, Cao Dezhi, had even used the Blood God Legion to threaten the Federation government.
...
In Shrek City, after about ten days, Xia Yi had not only helped Bi Ji craft her soul armor but also made the "Emperor Heaven" soul armor.
Looking at the three of them wearing their soul armors, majestic and imposing, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Red King, and the quietly arrived Bear Lord were all envious.
They immediately buried themselves in study, all eager to level up their second occupation and have Xia Yi craft soul armors for them.
Although Zi Ji and the others already had soul armors, they didn't become complacent. In fact, they became even more motivated to improve.
After truly putting on the soul armor, they realized just how much it enhanced their strength.
They all wanted to quickly upgrade their soul armors to the three-character level.
Gu Yue could feel that the core area of Star Dou Forest had begun to show signs of thriving.
This made her increasingly grateful to Xia Yi.
Unbeknownst to them, Gu Yue's position as class monitor had been taken over by Cai Yue'er.
A class monitor who takes long leaves for ten to twenty days makes things difficult for the teachers.
Now, the class monitor position had been handed to Wu Jin.
Originally, Cai Yue'er had planned to hold another competition for the class monitor, but after seeing Wu Jin's soul armor, she immediately handed over the position to him without a word.
Wu Jin was the first to start crafting soul armors in his first year at Shrek Academy.
At this moment, the first-year students were in the middle of a heated internal selection competition.
Soon, there would be an exchange competition between the first and second years.
The second year would compete against the first year, but Xia Yi and Gu Yue still hadn't returned.
Shen Yi could only select the strongest students from his class to form the best team to face the second-year students.
"Boom!"
Wu Jin and Wu Sido's Ghostly White Tiger collided fiercely, and both were sent flying backward.
"Again!" Wu Sido shouted in a tender voice. Although Wu Jin had a soul armor gauntlet, she was still a Soul Sovereign and had a martial soul fusion technique.
Xia Yi had defeated her that day through a calculated move, but she didn't believe that Wu Jin couldn't defeat her.
As for who was the most aggrieved in the first year, it was none other than Wu Sido.
When she first enrolled, in the class monitor competition, her martial soul fusion technique had just been used, and her soul power was nearly exhausted when she encountered Gu Yue.
She was immediately defeated by Gu Yue in one move.
She thought the position of class monitor was hers, but Gu Yue snatched it away.
Later, when teaming up with Xia Yi, she was outsmarted by him and couldn't even fully unleash her power, resulting in another defeat.
Because Gu Yue was on leave and Xia Yi, this freak, wasn't around, she thought she would become the new class monitor, but to her surprise, Wu Jin had a soul armor.
This made her extremely dissatisfied. In her view, even with a soul armor, Wu Jin should not be her opponent. But to her shock, she was unable to defeat Wu Jin.
What made her even more frustrated was that Wu Jin had underestimated her and didn't fight with full strength.
It should be known that even Xia Yi never dared to underestimate her.
Wu Jin said nothing. As soon as he landed, he pushed off the ground and charged toward Wu Sido once more.
When he was only about five meters away from her, he used his gauntlet-covered fist, striking out with a lion's claw, and with it, a series of beastly shadows emerged, each radiating a terrifying aura.
The first-year students below the fighting spirit stage were drenched in cold sweat. If it weren't for the protective shields, they would have been suffocated by the oppressive aura of those beast shadows.
"Hmph, let's see when you'll use your blood-red state." Wu Sido yelled again as her Ghostly White Tiger's claws pressed against the ground, and she leaped forward, aiming her tiger claws at Wu Jin.
When they collided, the terrifying energy fluctuation caused the entire fighting spirit arena to tremble violently.
Wu Sido was once again sent flying. This time, her massive Ghostly White Tiger body was directly struck by Wu Jin's fist into the arena's protective shield.
Then she was bounced back, crashing hard into the ground.
Before hitting the ground, she had already been forced to cancel her martial soul's possession.
Her soft body and ample chest hit the ground first, bounced slightly, then slammed down again, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Wu Jin never knew what it meant to be gentle with women.
Wu Sido felt all her bones go soft. She struggled to lift her head and look at Wu Jin, her heart filled with disbelief.
Only she knew.
When she collided with Wu Jin just now, she felt as if she were facing the entire world.
Wu Jin's frame was already tall to begin with.
As Wu Sido was lying on the ground, she thought back to the sensation she had just experienced and suddenly felt that Wu Jin was even taller. He was growing larger and larger in her perception, and even when he stood up, she had to look up to see him.
It wasn't just Wu Sido who felt this way. Other students outside the fighting spirit arena also felt the same.
Even though Wu Jin wasn't using a soul technique like the Ghostly White Tiger, the sheer aura he exuded made him seem imposing.
Wu Sido barely managed to endure the pain in her body and stood up, unable to resist asking, "Your strength is clearly greater than Xia Yi and Gu Yue, why…"
However, she hadn't finished speaking before Wu Jin had already turned around without expression and left the fighting spirit stage.
From start to finish, he didn't say a single word, and his expression barely changed.
Yet this cold demeanor made many of the girls instinctively focus their attention on him.
Xia Yi had already been monopolized by Gu Yue.
Wu Jin, although slightly less handsome than Xia Yi, was tall and powerful, exuding a strong sense of security. He was also a good choice.
"A rude guy, what's there to look at?" Wu Sido muttered angrily as she watched the girls in the arena gaze at Wu Jin with infatuation.
She couldn't believe he had defeated her and then completely ignored her.
This enraged her, as she had always been proud.
Wu Jin knew what Wu Sido wanted to say.
Xia Yi, Gu Yue!
Although he was also in the Spirit Realm, his spiritual power couldn't match Xia Yi or Gu Yue. The moves he used against Wu Sido wouldn't work on either of them.
He knew full well that even if his spiritual power exceeded Gu Yue's, the effect of the Fist of Ten Thousand Beasts on Gu Yue would be much weaker.
Unless he could evolve the Fist of Ten Thousand Beasts from a soul technique to a divine technique, otherwise, using it against Gu Yue would only bring disaster.
As for Xia Yi!
Wu Jin thought that if his spiritual power surpassed Xia Yi's, the Fist of Ten Thousand Beasts might work on him.
But Xia Yi's spiritual power was too abnormal.
He would never get the chance to try.
