Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

The five Limit Douluos Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, Titan Douluo Yuanen Zhentian, Free Sky Douluo Yuanen Tiandang, and Qilin Douluo Tong Yu were all present; the only absentee was Old Man Chen the sweeper.

Chen Xinjie had told Tang Wulin that all he wanted was to stay at and protect Shrek Academy, but he wasn't going to be participating in any of Shrek Academy's operations against other powers; that was a line that he was unwilling to cross.

Of course, it was very likely that he would change his mind if Long Yeyue asked him to do so, but at the very least, he was still only Old Man Chen the sweeper for now.

Long Yeyue had met him on three occasions, making sure to hurl verbal abuse at him every time, but he refused to leave.

Aside from the five Limit Douluos and Shrek’s Seven Monsters, Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng, and Wu Zhangkong were also present.

Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng had already rebuilt the inner court of Shrek Academy, and even though there still weren't many inner court disciples, it was now ready to accept disciples.

Wu Zhangkong was still the principal of the outer court, and it was being run in a very orderly fashion under his leadership. Furthermore, he was personally involved in teaching students and training teachers.

This group was the true core of Shrek Academy, and aside from them, there were also three guests in the Sea God's Pavilion, which was a very rare sight in Sea God's Pavilion meetings.

These three were Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, and the head soul weaponry researcher of the Tang Sect, Ling Zichen.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the most formidable lineup that had ever gathered in the Sea God's Pavilion.

Even at the very height of Shrek Academy's power, there had never been as many as seven Limit Douluos in a Sea God's Pavilion meeting, and that wasn't even taking into account Tang Wulin, whose powers were already comparable with those of a Limit Douluo.

Sima Jinchi and A'Ruheng weren't in attendance; they were both deferring to Tang Wulin's better judgment.

A'Ruheng had made a trip back to the Body Sect and had only recently returned, bringing with him a piece of good news, which was that following some discussion with Mu Ye, A'Ruheng had taken over as the sect master of the Body Sect and had brought the Body Sect over to Shrek City.

That's right, the current Body Sect was now also a part of Shrek City.

The reason A'Ruheng provided for this was very simple: only in Shrek City could the Body Sect truly flourish. At the same time, he had made a request toward Shrek Academy. Having become a member of Shrek City, the Body Sect was going to pledge itself to protect the city and Shrek Academy, but in exchange, A'Ruheng requested for Shrek Academy to recommend its students with exceptional body martial souls to the Body Sect in order to continue the sect's lineage.

After some discussion with the elders of the academy, Tang Wulin agreed to this request, and this was why the Body Sect had moved to Shrek City in its entirety without any hesitation.

Even though the Body Sect was far from its heyday, it was still a top-tier sect with an extremely illustrious history, and no one on the entire continent could compare with the sect when it came to nurturing body martial souls.

Even in arguably the worst era of the Body Sect, it was still able to produce A'Ruheng, who had attained the Invincible Vajra Body; what would the sect be able to accomplish in the future?

At this point, Shrek City had already gathered four major powers, comprised of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Body Sect, and the Yuanen Family, thereby further boosting its overall power.

Tang Wulin had intended to give the Body Sect a seat in the Sea God's Pavilion, only to be refused by A'Ruheng, who trusted Tang Wulin to represent the Body Sect.

In the future, once Tang Wulin retired, different arrangements could be made, but for now, A'Ruheng saw no need for another Body Sect representative in the Sea God's Pavilion.

With the inclusion of these major powers, the new Shrek City had well and truly become the most powerful city on the entire continent.The city was housing close to 10 Limit Douluos, and this alone was already a staggering amount of power to be gathered in one place.

"Pavilion Master." Everyone extended respectful salutes toward Tang Wulin, even all of the Limit Douluos present.

Tang Wulin ranked above them in official status, and tradition had to be upheld.

Tang Wulin hurriedly returned everyone's salutes before making his way to the main seat.

"Please take a seat, everyone."

Looking at all of the powerful beings present, a hint of emotion welled up in his heart. Not long ago, Shrek City had been nothing more than a massive crater, and the only ones who remained were Shrek's Seven Monsters and Yali.

At the time, they had departed with barely any hope in their hearts, but now, they had returned, and Shrek City had been rebuilt.

The new Shrek City was more powerful than ever, and it had once again become the center of attention for the entire continent. Even the federation didn't dare to do anything to Shrek City anymore.

It would still take some more time for Shrek Academy to truly recover its status as the number one academy. It required more young talent to pass on its heritage, but looking at it now, this seemed to only be a matter of time.

"Thank you for attending today's Sea God's Pavilion meeting, everyone. This is an extremely important meeting for both Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect," Tang Wulin said, cutting straight to the chase.

Serious looks appeared on everyone's faces, particularly those who had been present during the Shrek City bombing.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath before continuing, "A few years ago, two godslayer missiles were detonated within Shrek City, destroying Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, resulting in countless lost lives."

The entire city was destroyed, and after thorough investigation, we've determined beyond a doubt that the Holy Spirit Cult is the main culprit, but it had an accomplice, which was the Spirit Pagoda.

Thus, he gave everyone a detailed recount of how he had discovered the collusion between the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult back when he was on the Dou Spirit Continent.

"Based on all of this, we are absolutely sure that the Spirit Pagoda was involved in the Shrek City bombing, thereby making them sworn enemies of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. Millions of people perished in Shrek City on that day, and now that Shrek City has been rebuilt, it's time that we exacted our revenge. As the Sea God's Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, I hereby declare that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect will be declaring war on the Spirit Pagoda. However, we won't be harming any innocent individuals; our target is the Qiangu Family."

Tang Wulin's voice was extremely decisive, and tears immediately welled up in Yali's eyes as intense hatred surfaced in her heart.

She had always been so kind and had spent her entire life sacrificing herself for the sake of others, but the husband whom she dearly loved had perished during that very same bombing.

All of the people present from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were raring to go.

"How do you plan to do this?" Tong Yu asked.

Tang Wulin replied, "Our revenge will be completely open and aboveboard; we're going to Spirit Pagoda headquarters to face the Qiangu Family in a battle to the death. Anyone who tries to stand in our way will be enemies of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. This is something that only concerns Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, so there's no need for you and the two seniors of the Yuanen Family to get involved."

Tong Yu replied, "My life is yours; I'll follow you in anything you do, so there's no need to try and dissuade me."

Yuanen Tiandang said, "I didn't see you shying away back when we were facing the demonic plane together, Sect Master Tang. Besides, this is not just revenge for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect; we're also seeking justice for the millions of people who perished during that disaster! No matter how we look at it, there's no reason for us not to participate. On top of that, we're also residents of Shrek City; we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we refrain from participating in this cause."

Ever since the Yuanen Family had moved into Shrek City, they had been greatly touched by everything that Shrek Academy had done for them. Now that Shrek City was growing in power by the day and both Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang had received their suits of four-word battle armor, what excuse did they have not to fight for Shrek City?
