Chapter 1072: Irregular Disturbance (1/2)
However, the situation would be completely different when it came to a mecha crafted by himself. If he could possess a black mecha that was perfectly suited to him, then his battle stamina and combat prowess would definitely both reach a whole new level.
He had already set a goal for himself; he was going to progress steadily in his soul power, striving to reach the Soul Sage level as soon as possible. At the same time, he was going to prepare the materials required for his suit of three-word battle armor as quickly as he could, then dedicate all of his efforts to crafting a mecha for himself.
After doing all that, he would finally have developed a certain foundation and could begin to prepare for the rebuild of Shrek Academy. After that, he had to visit his friends to give them their 100,000-year-old soul spirits to elevate the overall powers of Shrek's Seven Monster so that everyone would have more influence in the military.
Of course, that was still far from enough. All seven of them had to become Titled Douluos, and only then would they truly have some speaking rights in the Soul Master world, as well as in the military and the federal parliament.
They were going to face stern opposition in their endeavor to rebuild Shrek Academy, and the most powerful of those opponents were most likely going to be the federal parliament and the Spirit Pagoda!
Never had Tang Wulin been under the impression that he would be able to do everything on his own. He had to recruit more help; if he wanted to stand at the pinnacle of the entire continent, he had to develop his own forces, and that would require time to accumulate.
Following the time he'd spent at the Blood God Legion thus far, the lust for vengeance in his heart had condensed. He was less fixated on doing things quickly and had learned to see the bigger picture.
He wasn't alone, after all; he still had his friends and the support of the Tang Sect, and what he had to do was use all of the resources at his disposal to make himself more powerful.
Soon, a rhythmic tapping akin to that of rain falling on a banana leaf rang out from within his forging room, and the sound was very pleasant to the ears.
By immersing himself in his forging, Tang Wulin's heart entered a completely calm and placid state.
……
”He made it into the grand final of both disciplines? That truly is an incredible feat!” Zhang Huanyun wore a rather peculiar look on his face, and he felt as if his heart were dripping blood! Why hadn't he insisted on taking Tang Wulin under his wing earlier? Perhaps he could've had a chance!
At the time, Tang Wulin had technically ”attacked” him, and if he refused to drop those charges, even Cao Dezhi wouldn't have been able to protect him. He could only blame himself for being too easygoing.
Zhang Huanyun watched the footage of the match between Tang Wulin and Bubble King three times, heaving internal sighs the entire time.
”You're becoming more and more convinced by my judgment, right?” A slightly gloating voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
Zhang Huanyun grumbled, ”Do you not know how to knock?”
”We're such close friends; knocking would be creating distance between us, wouldn't it?” A man had suddenly appeared in the chair on the other side of his desk, and it was none other than the Blood One that he had just been cursing in his mind.
”What's your plan?” Zhang Huanyun asked as he appraised Cao Dezhi with an intense gaze.
Cao Dezhi chuckled, ”You sure are good at sniffing out these things! I came to find you to discuss this matter. I know your petty mind is thinking about trying to take him away from me, but set that aside for now, and let's discuss the feasibility of my plan. After watching his recent match footage, I feel like he's getting closer and closer to reaching maturity, and he's performed even more exceptionally than I imagined. It has to be said that Shrek Academy possesses foresight that's superior to ours!”
Zhang Huanyun harrumphed, ”Of course! Shrek Academy has been the number one academy on the continent for over 20,000 years. Even over 20,000 years ago, their academy mantra was that they only accepted monsters and no ordinary people; of course we can't match them when it comes to selecting talents. Come to think of it, your Tang Sect has also been around for 20,000 years, right? It's somewhat interconnected with Shrek Academy, so why isn't your sect nurturing these freakish talents?”
Cao Dezhi grumbled, ”I'm not here to bicker with you! I'm going to tell you my plan, and you can tell me if I've missed any details.”
