Chapter 1184 (2/2)

Yue Zhengyu's expression also fell upon hearing this. ”Truth be told, rebuilding Shrek Academy is going to be a very difficult task. Before I came here, my grandfather told me many things regarding the current situation, and he's very pessimistic about our chances.”

Tang Wulin's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this. ”The Southern Legion belongs to the Eagle Faction, right?”

Yue Zhengyu nodded in response. ”The Southern Legion is rather special in that it's situated in quite a wealthy region and is also quite far away from all other legions. Generally speaking, the legion doesn't partic.i.p.ate in political battles, but our Yue Family descends from the former master of the Spirit Hall, and our family ethos states that the Star Luo Empire is our enemy. Hence, if the federation declares war on the Star Luo Empire, the Southern Legion will definitely support the cause.”

Tang Wulin nodded before asking, ”What about rebuilding Shrek Academy? Will the Southern Legion support us?”

A wry smile appeared on Yue Zhengyu's face. ”It'll be very difficult to garner their support. I don't want to dent your confidence, but I have to tell you the truth; my grandfather explicitly told me prior to my departure that he and the Southern Legion won't support the rebuild of our Shrek Academy as doing so could greatly impact our entire family.”

Tang Wulin had already guessed that this would be the case, but he still couldn't help but be a little disappointed to hear this notion being confirmed.

”However, at the very least, my grandfather said that the Southern Legion won't oppose the revival of Shrek Academy, and he even proposed two possible scenarios where they'll be willing to lend us their support. The first scenario is if we can display sufficient power to combat all of those who are opposed to the revival of Shrek Academy, and the second scenario is if I become a four-word battle armor master. If I ever reach that point, I will inherit the role of legion commander from my grandfather, and the legion will lend us their a.s.sistance for my sake. However, neither of those sets of criteria will be easy to fulfill.”

Tang Wulin nodded upon hearing this. Indeed, both sets of conditions were quite difficult to satisfy.

Barring extremely special circ.u.mstances, most Soul Masters could only become four-word battle armor masters after reaching at least the Hyper Douluo level, and a lot of the time, just reaching the Hyper Douluo level was still insufficient as one required heavenly refined metals to become a four-word battle armor master.

There weren't that many Hyper Douluos, but there definitely wasn't a small number of them, either. However, every heavenly refinement that Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua completed was extremely taxing to him, and after completing one suit of four-word battle armor, he would have to rest for a long time before he could replicate the feat. Hence, he very rarely accepted heavenly refinement jobs now.

”We'll find a way; you can count on me.” Tang Wulin patted him on the shoulder.

Yue Zhengyu turned to him with a slightly surprised expression. Not only had Tang Wulin not been disheartened by this bad news, his eyes were still glowing with confidence.

”Looks like becoming the champion of the Star Battle Net Inter-federation Compet.i.tion has instilled you with a lot of confidence, Boss! I have to commend you for that.”

Tang Wulin smiled, and replied, ”Confidence stems from ability. Come with me...” He dragged Yue Zhengyu into a nearby alley as he spoke.

After releasing his spiritual power to verify that there were no prying eyes around, he led Yue Zhengyu into a small courtyard, and when they arrived in the underground world of the Tang Sect, Yue Zhengyu was also given a ma.s.sive shock.

”Th, this is...”

The awe-inspiring underground world had shocked him beyond words. He looked at all of the busy workers and mechas being churned out on the production lines, and he couldn't help but gulp in astonishment.

”Everything here belongs to the Tang Sect?” Yue Zhengyu asked in a stunned manner.

Tang Wulin nodded in response. ”And it also belongs to us.”

Tang Wulin led him to the door of a room, and before he had even pressed the doorbell, the door opened on its own.

Lan Muzi strode out from within before smiling at the sight of Tang Wulin and extending a respectful bow. ”Pavilion Master.”

”No need for formalities, Senior Disciple Brother Lan,” Tang Wulin replied with a smile and a nod. After Long Yeyue's reminder, he was trying to act more befitting of his current status.

Lan Muzi then quickly caught sight of Yue Zhengyu, who was staring at him with his mouth gaped wide open.

”Long time no see, Junior Disciple Brother Zhengyu.”

Yue Zhengyu was so shocked that he had developed a stutter. ”Se, Senior Disciple Brother Lan, you, you're not dead? You, you...”
