"The Federal Central Station reports: Regarding the recent terrorist attack launched by Shrek Academy students and Tang Sect Disciples in the Federation, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have both actively responded."
"Under the leadership of Holy Spirit Douluo, Vice Head of Sea God's Pavilion, and the Amorous Douluo, Vice Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, and witnessed by the two Pagoda Masters of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, a full exchange and frank discussion were held with the Federal delegation, acknowledging mistakes, apologizing, and offering compensation."
"Now broadcasting the video of the five offending Shrek Academy students publicly apologizing and repenting."
Across the eighteen first-tier cities of the Federation, outdoor spirit tool screens displayed the same content:
Yu Minglong, Ning Yue, and the other five Shrek students appeared one by one, weeping profusely, prostrating themselves, and expressing their remorse for the terrorist act in their personal names, begging for the Academy and the public's forgiveness.
The most emotional among them was Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Tianjun. His eyes were dull and lifeless. After apologizing, he slammed his head against the prison door and never got up again.
Cai Yue'er appeared on screen, stating, "Shrek Academy has strict discipline and never allows students to act recklessly. The four students who made mistakes have all been placed on probation, and Ma Tianjun, whose actions were the most severe, has been expelled."
After this segment, Feng Zaixing, in the Mingdu Broadcast Building's announcer booth, looked disgusted but continued his speech, bringing his internship to a close.
"Affected by the 'Minor Protection Law,' the other four students will serve over ten years in Mingdu Prison upon reaching adulthood. The Federation firmly says no to any privileged class, even the once number one Academy on the Continent!"
"Cherish life, stay away from terrorist attacks. All Spirit Masters are urged to strengthen their legal awareness, respect the law, and not break it. Safeguarding the lives of every citizen is the strong voice of the Federation in this era, and any act of terrorism will be brought to justice."
"Finally, we wish all affected citizens and the four Genius heroes of Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy a speedy recovery."
With that, Feng Zaixing put down his microphone spirit tool, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh of relief. Mission accomplished.
"Clap, clap, clap…"
Mu Ye and A Ruheng applauded enthusiastically. Mu Ye said with a smile, "I didn't realize you had this talent."
"Of course, is there anything your Disciple can't do?"
Feng Zaixing clapped his hands and said, "After much planning, we've finally wrapped up. This director is exhausted."
A Ruheng gave a simple smile and praised, "'Secrets of the Body' has returned to the Sect, Junior Brother, you have rendered a great service."
"This is nothing; the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the future is the main course."
Feng Zaixing rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I heard the Tang Sect has set up many obstacles outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. We'll use the ice and fire token to go through the process, and then we can dig a tunnel to get there easily."
"Hehe, the old man likes that. We should act when it's time to act, and never be polite to others."
Le Zhengyang and Han Tianyi sat opposite each other, playing chess, and cheered loudly when they heard Feng Zaixing's words.
Everyone nodded. Yu Xin, who was brewing tea in the distance, adjusted the teacups and said, "But I didn't expect Shrek to be so ruthless, making Ma Tianjun commit suicide to atone for his sins, cleaning themselves up completely."
Han Tianyi moved a chess piece and said, "My mental force has been monitoring that area. It was Cai Yue'er who made Ma Tianjun commit suicide. She promised Ma Tianjun that she would treat his sister well."
"Of course, Holy Spirit Douluo and the others tacitly approved of Cai Yue'er doing this."
"It's not surprising. His death contributed more than living a lifetime."
Feng Zaixing tapped his toe, and his recliner spun 180 degrees. He said leisurely,
"After all, his body was crippled by me, and the Ma Family was annihilated and disgraced. Besides dying, he had no other use. It's better to exchange his life for his sister's future, provided Cai Yue'er didn't lie to him."
"Even his death is a release. The other four didn't die, but they'll never have a chance to inherit their families in this life."
At this moment, Wang Wen and Xu Miao walked out of the kitchen with hot dishes, and Long Chen brought two cases of beer, put on some music, and cheered,
"Boss, we won a great victory this time, let's celebrate?"
"Then let's all join in."
Feng Zaixing smiled, jumped down, and joined the celebration.
He opened a bottle of beer, and words came out of his mouth without hesitation:
"Our endeavor has achieved initial success, but we must continue to work hard. Go Six Stars Association; all of us, let's push forward together!"
"Go!" Everyone raised their cups and drank deeply… That day, Mingdu was adorned with lanterns and streamers; that day, Shrek was shrouded in gloom.
"The Five Great Families are threatening us, and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is also joining the fun. Then let's fight! How can we yield? How can we pay such a heavy price!"
In Sea God's Pavilion, Long Yeyue raged after hearing Ya Li's reply, overturning the conference table.
"Ya Li, you are too soft-hearted. This old woman believes you are no longer suitable to be the Vice Head of Sea God's Pavilion!"
With her hands braced on the edge of the table, Long Yeyue glared at Ya Li, surging with violent displeasure.
Yun Ming sighed and flashed in front of Ya Li, shielding the negotiation team behind him, shaking his head and saying,
"Sister Yue, Ya Li and the others have done everything they could. These costs are actually not that great."
Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu nodded in agreement, firmly standing with Yun Ming.
Excluding the ice and fire token, the spiritual items and Spirit Bones demanded by the Federation were indeed a considerable number, but Shrek had a large Family and a large enterprise, and allies to help cover the costs.
The four students were Geniuses of the quasi-Young Lord level from these reclusive Sects, and even if they bid farewell to their inheritance rights from now on, the four families would still have to pay their share.
Billions of federal currencys sounded intimidating, but Shrek City had an independent economic system, an internal circulation that didn't require federal currencys, and people would give them away for free every year.
The ice and fire token wasn't from Shrek after all, and Zang Xin had no objections.
The Tang Sect would not help Federal Geniuses obtain immortal-grade items; success depended entirely on them.
If the new Shrek Seven Monsters needed them, then the immortal-grade items would suffer a bit; there were plenty there anyway.
In Yun Ming's eyes, all these costs were acceptable, and his wife was not to blame.
However, Long Yeyue adamantly refused.
"Is the cost important? What's important is that Shrek bowed its head! How can Shrek bow to the Federation? Yun Ming, where has your spirit from back then gone! You're protecting Shrek's sinners so much!"
She stared intently at Yun Ming, every part of her face showing her displeasure with him.
"Alas…"
Yun Ming sighed softly, his refined demeanor suddenly changed, and with a wave of his hand, he grasped the Void Realm, and a long spear, completely transparent and wreathed in incandescent light, appeared in his hand.
He struck the spear onto the ground, and with a 'bang,' a powerful, arcing wave of Qi rapidly spread from his feet, surging towards Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue's pupils trembled, and she retreated seven or eight steps in an instant, trying to avoid the sharp edge of the Sky-Reaching Divine Spear.
However, the spear's edge was like light and electricity; how could she evade it?
The spear light swept past, and Long Yeyue was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
She leaned against the tree wall, terrified and shocked, saying, "Yun Ming, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, Yun Ming just wants to remind Sister Yue of something."
Yun Ming gripped the spear with one hand, his eyes narrowed, his gaze as sharp as a cold blade:
"In this Sea God's Pavilion, I, Yun Ming, am the Head; I am the ultimate decision-maker of Shrek City, not you!"
"Ya Li's position as Vice Head was decided by me, and this matter was also decided by me. Zang Xin had no objections, so why are you criticizing Ya Li! You're meddling too much!"
Yun Ming could tolerate Long Yeyue in other matters, but Ya Li was his most cherished wife, and spending all day with her was never too much. How could he tolerate this old woman Long Yeyue chattering in his ear?
Yun Ming shouted, "If the Sky-Reaching Divine Spear doesn't strike, Sister Yue, don't think Yun Ming has lost his edge from back then; for Ya Li, I can do anything!"
"You've been through it yourself, you know Yun Ming's character!"
The older generation of powerhouses on Douluo Continent all know about that messy affair you had with Sea Douluo back then; because my teacher passed away, I gave you some leeway, but you shouldn't be ungrateful!
On Douluo Continent, love comes first; if you push me too far, sending you to meet my teacher is just a matter of one spear strike!
"You… This old woman understands."
Long Yeyue tried to release her mental force, but in an instant, she saw an abyss-like chill in Yun Ming's eyes and dared not say another word.
Seeing Long Yeyue finally bow her head, the frost on Yun Ming's face dissipated. He withdrew the Sky-Reaching Divine Spear, turned his back, took Ya Li's hand, and walked away, saying from a distance,
"Sister Yue is old; it's better for her to enjoy her golden years. From now on, Sea God's Pavilion will not trouble you; I will promote your Disciple, Lan Muzi, to a provisional Elder to fill the vacancy."
"You… Haha, it seems this old woman is truly old, truly old…"
Long Yeyue looked at the Elders who left with Yun Ming, the empty Sea God's Pavilion, and a deeply disheartened expression appeared on her face, as if her spirit had been drained.
"My whole life for Shrek, yet I end up like this, ha ha ha ha…"
...East Sea Coast.
Outside the East Sea Academy, several figures watched from afar.
Di Tian stood behind a phantom figure, respectfully saying,
"My Lord, according to our observations, the new student Tang Wulin Cultivating in this Spirit Master Academy indeed possesses the essence of the Golden Dragon King's aura, what Feng Zaixing said is true."
