Poseidon Pavilion.
In the conference hall.
All the ministers were silent and the atmosphere was depressing.
"I didn't expect their reaction would be so quick..." Mr. Zhuang was quite troubled and was the first to break the silence.
“These damn beasts are just adding insult to injury!” Old Song gritted her teeth and said angrily. She was still brooding over the fact that she was severely injured by a slap from Di Tian before, and now the Star Dou Great Forest has announced a "ban" again.
Isn't this obviously making things difficult for Shrek Academy?
"You are still too impatient." Old Bai shook his head: "Recently, because of the freshman season, Shrek has frequently taken students to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, as if they were afraid that they would close the door. Now it has backfired."
"Forget it, let's think about a solution." Xuan Zi finally said.
Speaking of which, he is still thinking about his disciple Tang San who was rescued by the Haotian Sect. Now that so much time has passed since the battle in Mingdu, they haven't sent him back yet?
Of course, he would never admit that it was because of alcoholism. He had completely forgotten about this last disciple.
"Old Bai, can soul beasts be bred in the Colosseum?" Xian Lin'er looked at Old Bai.
The latter shook his head, naturally knowing what Xian Lin'er was thinking.
"No, the cultivation of soul beasts cannot be done without using natural treasures to increase their cultivation lifespan, but this is a very 'wasteful' thing. Otherwise, a simple hundred-year soul beast would take a hundred years! It also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to take care of and cultivate it."
"The existing Colosseum can sustain Shrek Academy..."
"Xian Lin'er, you're going a bit too far!"
Cai Meir finally couldn't help but said.
It was fine that her husband was forced to leave, but she couldn't resign as the vice-president of the Wuhun Department. Even if she continued to hold the position, she was still angry.
Originally, the Martial Soul Department was unable to make ends meet due to the Soul Guidance Department, and the person in charge of the Colosseum, Old Gong, was forced to retire. Now, due to the changes in the Star Dou Great Forest, your Soul Guidance Department has set its sights on the Martial Soul Department's Colosseum. No matter how good her temper is, she is still a little angry.
"Given the current special circumstances, it is not natural for the academy to focus on the Soul Guidance Department." Xian Lin'er said coldly.
The meaning is clear, she just wants to fight for this arena.
"Alright! Be quiet!"
Old Song glared at her daughter in annoyance, but she was much nicer to Cai Meir and tried to comfort her.
"You're fighting for a Colosseum! It's hurting the harmony between the two houses!"
There is nothing wrong with fighting openly or secretly. Shrek Academy was in its heyday, and it had to fight to become stronger. But it is not the case now. The two academies can only see hope if they unite and work together.
"I'm afraid we'll get a letter from the Haotian Sect soon..." Elder Lin said calmly.
“Already here.”
Mr. Song sighed lightly and placed a letter on the table.
Obviously, the meaning is obvious.
This piece of cake is only this big, so Tianhun, Douling, Shrek Academy, and even the Body Sect, have to start preparing for competition...
Of course, there will definitely be forces that divide the cake in the end.
Nothing more than Shrek Academy, Haotian Sect, and now the Body Sect is not even worthy of being mentioned.
"But this is not enough!" Xian Lin'er said angrily.
Even if Shrek Academy takes the lion's share, the piece of the pie it gets is still far less than one-third of what it used to be!
The inner court disciples who signed up yesterday to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings will need three ten thousand year spirit rings!
"And most importantly, we can't hunt hundred thousand year soul beasts... Why? If there are no hundred thousand year soul beasts, then Beibei..."
Everyone was stunned, and their faces suddenly turned gloomy.
Beibei is the one they have high hopes for, and he wants to become a Ultimate Douluo. You know, soul beasts also have a significant impact on a person's upper limit. If his ninth soul skill is ten thousand years, then the possibility of him becoming a Ultimate Douluo will inevitably be reduced more than a little.
Moreover, the limitation on the number of spirit rings will inevitably mean a decline in the quality of Shrek teachers and students.
Just like a Soul Sage wants to advance to Soul Douluo, what should his eighth soul ring be?
Ordinary Soul Douluo can withstand a soul beast of about 50,000 to 60,000 years, but it is different for Shrek Academy, where they are all geniuses! Although the new class is getting worse and worse, the geniuses in the inner courtyard are still real. Not to mention that the senior sister got a 100,000-year soul ring, but 70,000 to 80,000 years is still easy.
But what about now?
With the control of the Star Forest.
You can only get one every six months, and you have to compete with the Benti Sect and Haotian Sect for it!
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
How extravagant Shrek was in the past, with ten thousand year spirit rings and hundred thousand year spirit rings that he could hunt at will, but now it is so uncomfortable.
"Then there is no other way?!" an irritable elder said angrily.
“It’s impossible to go to war with the Star Dou Great Forest. They have Xing Luo on their back. Now that the Sun-Moon Empire has stationed its two national protectors (Fire Phoenix and Imperial Dragon) on the border of Xing Luo, along the Star Dou Great Forest, the two forces have already joined forces. Not to mention that we can’t defeat the Star Dou Great Forest, even if we can, Sun-Moon will quickly support us…” Old Lin shook his head.
"But there is another way."
Xuan Zi pondered.
"What?!!!" Everyone looked over at once.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the Lord of Poseidon Pavilion actually stood up.
"The artificial soul ring of the Sun-Moon Empire." Xuan Zi said.
Everyone: “…”
"Get lost!" Old Song said unhappily.
"If you have any ideas, tell me about them!" Xuan Zi didn't look happy either.
"I..." Old Song choked.
The conference room suddenly fell silent.
Although Xuan Lao's suggestion seems to be "nonsense", after thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the most appropriate one...
After all, they really have no choice.
"If we make this choice, we will really be strangled by the Sun-Moon Empire." Lin Laoshen sighed.
“Buzz…”
Accompanied by a buzzing sound.
Outside the attic window, a shadow as fast as lightning also came.
Old Xuan waved his hand, and a small thunderbird landed on his shoulder. He untied the straps on the thunderbird's legs and took out a letter.
"The latest news about artificial spirit rings from the Sun-Moon Empire."
He read it aloud.
"In response to the Star Dou Great Forest, this artificial spirit ring service does not provide spirit rings of 100,000 years or more. Spirit rings under 100,000 years can be customized. The specific price is..."
Looking at the words below, Xuan Zi's mouth twitched.
"Ninety thousand year soul ring, nine million gold soul coins!"
"Eighty thousand year spirit ring, eight million gold spirit coins..."
“…”
"Ten thousand year spirit ring, one million gold spirit coins..."
“…”
"A thousand-year soul ring, one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
"One hundred year spirit ring, ten thousand gold spirit coins..."
"Fuck, rob the money!!!"
As Xuan Zi finished speaking, the conference room became unusually quiet.
Mr. Song, Xian Lin'er was furious.
As for Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Lin, they shook their heads helplessly.
The Sun-Moon Empire has found Shrek's weak spot.
Is this price expensive?
Definitely expensive!
But it was just within the limit that Shrek Academy could bear.
It may seem like ten thousand or one hundred thousand gold soul coins are not a lot, but that’s enough to buy a hundred-year or thousand-year soul ring!
How much did it cost for Shrek Academy to make a spirit ring like this?
It’s free, so I just grabbed it from the Star Forest.
But now…
Especially when one, two, hundreds, or thousands of them are added together, the expense is absolutely terrifying. (End of this chapter)
