—------------------—
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, special dormitory third floor, the moon was high in the sky.
Yu Xin stood on the crescent-shaped window sill, leaning against the railing and gazing out, long hair blowing in the wind, like a burning ball of angry flames.
Footsteps sounded from behind her, and Yu Xin's lips curved slightly, "Na'er is asleep?"
"She's asleep. She had too much fun today and got too tired."
Feng Zaixing strolled over, a fresh scent wafting into his nostrils. Yu Xin's long hair fluttered, and her loose nightgown concealed her graceful figure. Her freshly washed face was as radiant as a blooming begonia.
"That's good. Tell me your plan, I'm listening."
Yu Xin threw out a top-grade sound-insulating spirit tool, her gaze still fixed on the sleepless Mingdu.
Feng Zaixing pondered for a moment, then took out a spirit tool light screen, tapped into it, and pointed at the news reported by the Federation in the past two days, saying leisurely:
"In the past two days, many places in the Federation have been attacked by Evil Soul Masters. These guys seem to have agreed to cause destruction everywhere."
A day had passed, and his trending topic had dropped by half. The top trending topic was clearly the Federation's upper echelons being extremely enraged by the rampant destruction of the Evil Soul Masters, vowing to mobilize core forces like the War God Hall to fully combat them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xin's brows furrowed, and cold light flashed in her eyes as she said, "I heard the old man say that the Evil Soul Masters' actions are too rampant. He believes it's necessary to organize more forces to deal with these resurfacing bastards, and even wants to propose to the council the establishment of a specialized department to suppress Evil Soul Masters."
"The Holy Spirit Cult, which lay dormant for ten thousand years, is likely to start causing trouble on the Douluo Continent again. You know about the Holy Spirit Cult, right?"
"I know. Ten thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Empire collaborated with them to conquer the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, then turned around and encircled them. The founder of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo, attacked their stronghold and annihilated their main body."
Feng Zaixing nodded, saying with some regret, "But unfortunately, only the main body was annihilated. Spirit Ice Douluo disappeared too quickly, and many small fry were not eliminated. After ten thousand years, they have developed quite formidable strength, with one Emperor, two Sovereigns, and four Heavenly Kings."
"I think Vice Hall Master Yu's idea is very necessary. I am very suitable to join such a specialized department."
Yu Xin tilted her head to look at him, her eyes flickering with light, and she smiled faintly, "What? You want to join the army early? The army doesn't recruit children like you."
"Special circumstances require special treatment. I'm a young Genius who personally eliminated four Evil Soul Masters. My strength is enough to enlist."
Feng Zaixing, whose thoughts were exposed, didn't panic and asked unhurriedly, "And I remember that a Spirit King rank mecha master is enough to serve as a Lieutenant Colonel?"
"But you're not a Spirit King or a mecha master right now, you know," Yu Xin reminded him.
"It's only a matter of time. Isn't my mother's Major General rank, reduced by three levels, a Lieutenant Colonel? After my father's fall, the Federation even posthumously awarded him a Lieutenant General rank."
Feng Zaixing put on a pained expression and conceded, "If it really doesn't work, I'll take a loss and start as a Major. A Spirit Ancestor with enough seniority can even become one."
"Alright, alright, I'll talk to the old man. If the Federation doesn't pass the proposal, I'll have him add a position for you in the Central Legion," Yu Xin waved her hand.
Feng Zaixing's eyes lit up, and he said enthusiastically:
"That's great! I suggest establishing an agency like a 'Federal Bureau of Investigation' or a 'Central Legion Evil Soul Master Intelligence Investigation Office' to make it sound more formal..."
"Why are you more eager to kill Evil Soul Masters than my old man? You're like the Angel Family," Yu Xin said, finding it novel and muttering softly.
Feng Zaixing shook his head and chuckled, "That's not the point. The point is that having this identity makes things easier. Evil Soul Masters must be killed, and top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure must also be acquired. My method is very simple; to sum it up, it's to escalate the matter and rob Shrek and Tang Sect."
"Slap!"
Yu Xin covered her forehead, showing a "just as I thought" expression, and said speechlessly, "My dear brother, you don't actually think Shrek and Tang Sect are easy to rob, do you? When did you become so foolish?"
"They're not easy to rob, but we're not trying to catch a tiger with bare hands. We can catch people first."
Feng Zaixing clasped his arms behind his shoulders, holding the back of his head, looking very relaxed.
Yu Xin rolled her eyes, even more speechless, but reason told her that Feng Zaixing shouldn't be foolish enough to attack Shrek City.
"...Who do you want to catch?"
"Whoever comes to Mingdu to commit terrorist attacks, I'll catch them," Feng Zaixing's eyebrows narrowed, and his expression became serious.
"Who would dare to commit terrorist attacks in Mingdu... Wait!"
Yu Xin casually replied, then suddenly realized something. Her dark eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise:
"You want to catch the Shrek Academy students who come to Mingdu for their final exams?!"
"That's right. Shrek Academy confiscates all property from its students at the end of each semester, requiring them to fight their way from Shrek City to Mingdu.
Over the years, Shrek students have often attacked and robbed passersby for money, leading to secondary attacks by the city defense team. Isn't this the behavior of terrorists?"
Feng Zaixing retorted, his clear eyes reflecting the myriad lights of the city, a chilling coldness flowing within them. He seemed to have suddenly transformed into a different person, stating solemnly:
"To complete their final exams, they resort to all means. Some lie in wait outside the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, some attack federal government agencies, and some even charge military camps. How different are these actions from those of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Shrek deliberately designed the final exam this way to instill a subconscious message in its students: the Federation is nothing, and Shrek people can be high and mighty, above everything. With this facade, breaking federal laws doesn't matter!"
"Young people are the easiest to shape in terms of Mind, and the easiest to deceive. Once habits are formed, they are difficult to change.
Shrek Academy uses this method to cultivate the Federation's most outstanding Geniuses into generations of loyal followers, and then have these students return to control the Federation, maintaining their status as an independent kingdom, like a cancer that cannot be killed or eradicated."
"Sister, do you think I'm right?"
When his words fell, Yu Xin's expression froze, her sharp dark eyes still, and her heart surged with countless thoughts.
Feng Zaixing's words were incisive. Even in the Family, the elders would at most complain a few times, but they wouldn't reveal Shrek's true nature so bluntly in front of her.
Kidnapping the Federation's most outstanding students and establishing a state within a state—this was precisely what made Shrek Academy most formidable.
A moment later.
Yu Xin calmed herself and sighed softly, "Everything you said is correct, but this is not something we can solve right now... Your plan has some feasibility, but with only the Yu Family and the Academy, we can't suppress Shrek and Tang Sect."
"So, let's escalate it and make a big deal out of it," Feng Zaixing said with an indifferent expression.
"I can use my identity as a Blood God Legacy survivor to some extent. Grand Master Uncle Han can bring in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and Qiangu Dongfeng would be very happy to step in; Hall Master Chen is a hawk and has always been at odds with Shrek; as for the Le Family in the south, I have a reason that will force them to come forward."
"The Minister of Military Affairs comes from the Xu Family and controls three legions. No one wants to suppress Shrek and Tang Sect more than them; as long as they all come forward, the Shen Family and the Guo Family will have no other choice."
"At worst, we'll drag all the major powers of the Federation into this, turn everything upside down, and then, in the aftermath, we can slowly negotiate our demands at the negotiating table."
Yu Xin pondered for a longer time upon hearing this, then took a deep breath, her gaze at Feng Zaixing becoming very complex. This plan was too crazy.
"Xiao Feng, do you know how big an impact this will have?"
"I've considered it. So, on the surface, we are merely protecting the citizens of Mingdu and stopping Shrek students who are launching terrorist attacks. We'll occupy the moral high ground and have justification for our actions."
Feng Zaixing gazed at the vast starry sky and chuckled, "It's just that the incident will take place at the entrance of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
"Shrek students not only attacked citizens but also severely wounded me, a Blood God Legion Legacy survivor who was protecting the lives of citizens. The video will be uploaded to the Soul Net, inciting public outrage from the military and civilians, demanding that the Federation denounce Shrek."
"Of course, I won't really be severely wounded by those useless people. It can be faked afterward, or I can even stab myself twice."
"I've already thought of the trending topic: 'Lieutenant General Legacy survivor of the Federation, protecting the lives of federal citizens at the capital's Spirit Transfer Pagoda, brutally attacked by Shrek people, his life hanging by a thread. Where is the Federation's impartiality?'"
"If the five great Families don't come forward, those big shots can just wait for morale to collapse and the public to take to the streets. At the very least, the Blood God Legion cannot withstand such a blow; they can weigh the consequences themselves.
Or perhaps they hope that after they die, their descendants will also be treated in such a manner; if they're not even afraid of that, then I have nothing more to say, I just fear their elders and children won't agree."
Feng Zaixing looked at Yu Xin with an innocent expression: "To be honest, Yu Minglong and Ning Yue from Shrek Outer Court dislike me. They didn't dare to cause trouble for me this year, but they might bring more students to cause trouble next year."
"If they cause trouble, we are the victims. Shrek's outstanding students have a tradition of joining the Tang Sect. Shrek and Tang Sect are one Family. It's not too much to ask for some compensation from them, right?"
"If handled well, they might even have to thank us and beg us for benefits to quell the incident."
When it comes to causing trouble, who's afraid of whom? If we can't kill Shrek for now, we'll at least ruin their reputation.
I, Feng, am not betting that your Federation is a solid block, but I, Feng, am betting that you dare not let the Blood God Legion's morale waver; I'm betting that none of you want your descendants to suffer such a fate after your death, with no one to care, chilling the hearts of your own people!
I, Feng, also know that many of you deeply resent Shrek but are powerless against it. I, Feng, am giving you an opportunity, a legitimate opportunity to suppress Shrek's reputation and elevate your own!
With the stance decided, it was time to take the initiative. Leaving aside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which the Tang Sect heavily guarded, the Body Sect's supreme Legacy, the "Secrets of the Body," which Poison Douluo gave to Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago and entrusted him to pass on to Body Sect disciples, has yet to be seen. It's most likely gathering dust in the Sea God's Pavilion.
The predecessors were short-sighted, and the successors must fill the gaps. He, Feng Zaixing, was the future leader of the Body Sect and could never tolerate the supreme Legacy of his sect being lost outside without doing anything.
One word: Do it!
Yu Xin's expression changed for a moment, then she quickly nodded her head, saying resolutely, "I'll make these preparations. Your military rank will be in place, and I'll go crazy with you until the end."
"Don't bear it alone. I promised you, and I will always stand with you!"
