When Gu Yue led Tang Wulin to the Council Hall of the Spirit Pagoda, they discovered that Leng Yaozhu and all the council members were already present!
Gu Yue respectfully said, "Teacher, members of the council..."
Tang Wulin also followed suit, "Shrek Seven Monsters' captain, Tang Wulin, greets Lord of the Cold Tower and all council members!!"
The next second, he felt several powerful gazes filled with oppression directed at him...
To his shock, it was none other than Di Tian's group!!
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "So strong, aside from this Lord of the Cold Tower, the strength of those few men beside her even surpasses that of Hyper Douluo!"
At a glance, the high-level combat power of the Spirit Pagoda does not seem to be weaker than that of the Sea God's Pavilion!
These council members who had seen Tang Wulin's strength did not hesitate to praise him, "Is this the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters? Indeed extraordinary."
"Hmm, whether in terms of strength or appearance, he is a perfect match for our Young Pavilion Master!"
"Huh? Wasn't he still a Soul Douluo on the day of the martial arts contest? How did he suddenly breakthrough to become a Title Douluo?"
Tang Wulin clasped his fists and said, "This is thanks to the Piercing Gaze Dew provided by the Spirit Pagoda. This Immortal Herb helped me successfully breakthrough to Title Douluo!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the council members suddenly understood...
If he absorbed an Immortal Herb, such rapid progress within a short time becomes understandable!
Leng Yaozhu pursed her thin lips, "So you absorbed the Piercing Gaze Dew. Although it pains me a bit, given that you are Gu Yue's future partner, it's fine!"
After taking a deep breath, she solemnly spoke, "Tang Wulin, congratulations on winning the martial arts contest. As promised, you will receive resources from the Spirit Pagoda, of course, within a range that I can accept!"
Tang Wulin looked towards Gu Yue beside him, a little undecided, "Gu Yue, this..."
He felt somewhat embarrassed to request anything more, having already received an Immortal Herb!
Gu Yue smiled slightly, "Wulin, go ahead and say it boldly, this is what you deserve!"
Seeing this, Tang Wulin gathered his courage and said, "If possible, I'd like to request rare forging materials for Four-Word Battle Armor!"
Leng Yaozhu, surprised, said, "Oh? If you want Four-Word Battle Armor, the Spirit Pagoda can completely arrange for someone to forge it for you!"
She had thought of many possibilities, but this request had not crossed her mind!
Tang Wulin also understood her confusion and respectfully said, "Lord of the Cold Tower, because I am an Eighth Grade Blacksmith myself, I wish to attempt the forging myself!"
The council members couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, "Hiss, an Eighth Grade Blacksmith? Is it true?"
"Such a young Title Douluo and also an Eighth Grade Blacksmith, no one else exists like him on the entire continent!"
"Such terrifying talent! If he focuses solely on Martial Soul cultivation or forging, unimaginable..."
Bi Ji glanced at Di Tian beside her and said in a deep voice, "Di Tian… this Tang Wulin seems to have more talent than anticipated!"
Di Tian's golden pupils glowed, "Hmm! If he can't be used by our Lord, then he must be eliminated!!"
Leng Yaozhu stared at Tang Wulin for several seconds but didn't see the slightest trace of falsehood in his eyes...
"Alright, I approve this request. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come forward!"
Tang Wulin joyfully said, "Yes, thank you, Lord of the Cold Tower!"
Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment and then said again, "Additionally, regarding Gu Yue!"
"Over the years, Gu Yue's position in my heart has become akin to that of a biological daughter; thus, I hope you won't disappoint her!"
"Otherwise, you'll be the enemy of the entire Spirit Pagoda. Keep this in mind!"
Tang Wulin answered firmly, without a trace of fear, "Gu Yue is also the person I love most. I will never disappoint her in this lifetime!"
"I swear by my own life, apart from death, no one can separate us!"
Leng Yaozhu finally nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, Gu Yue, your choice is indeed excellent! Now I can entrust you to him with peace of mind!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes appeared somewhat complicated, "Pagoda Master..."
So the Pagoda Master always considered me as her biological daughter...
...
Shrek Academy!
Back in the Inner Court, the students immediately spread the news of Tang Wulin and Yue Zhengyu's deeds at the martial arts contest...
"You have no idea, Senior Tang Wulin and Senior Yue Zhengyu were targeted by the other eight contestants, yet they emerged victorious!"
"Were the opponents weak? Two against eight, it's hard to imagine victory!"
"How could it be! Among those eight contestants were three Title Douluos and four Soul Douluos! Can that be considered weak?"
"Besides, Senior Tang Wulin possesses the legendary divine artifact, the Sea God's Trident, once wielded by Sea God Tang San!"
"Hiss... That's amazing, possessing a divine artifact! This suggests that Senior Tang Wulin has a high potential to become a god in the future?"
"That's uncertain. Even our Sea God's Pavilion Master hasn't become a god yet, which shows just how difficult it is!"
"Whether he becomes a god or not, from now on, Senior Tang Wulin is my idol after witnessing his strength!"
Hearing these discussions, Dai Yun'er exclaimed, "I didn't expect Tang Wulin to have grown so strong. He used to be evenly matched with us!"
But this also means coming to Shrek Academy for cultivation was indeed the right choice!
While pondering, Shen Yi suddenly approached, interrupting her thoughts, "Dai Yun'er!"
Seeing her, Dai Yun'er respectfully said, "Dean Shen"
Then she asked with full confusion, "What brings you to me?"
Shen Yi looked complex and said, "It's not me looking for you, but someone from the Outer Court! The visitor seems to be called Long Yue!"
She recognized that Long Yue was also one of the exchange students from the Xingluo Empire back then, but he didn't belong to Shrek students and had no right to enter the Inner Court!
Dai Yun'er frowned, "Long Yue, why is he here?"
Basing on his character, he should have been intensely cultivating at Monster Academy!
Could he have come to Shrek Academy this time to take me back?
Shen Yi shook her head, "I don't know, I have other matters to attend to. It's up to you whether you want to see him!"
Dai Yun'er nodded, "I understand, thank you, Dean Shen!"
Watching Shen Yi depart, she then headed towards the Outer Court...
Upon arrival, her first glance caught the sight of the sturdy and robust Long Yue at the gate, exuding pure masculinity!
He obviously saw her too, waving his right hand, "Yun'er, I'm here!"
Dai Yun'er finally walked over, softly saying, "Big Brother Long, why have you come to Soul Land?"
Long Yue laughed heartily, "Actually, I came to participate in the martial arts contest hosted by the Spirit Pagoda, but unfortunately, I was severely defeated by Tang Wulin. It took me days to recover!"
Dai Yun'er exclaimed in surprise, "Severely defeated? That's hard to believe!"
After all, Long Yue is considered the number one among the younger generation of the Xingluo Empire!
