"Let them fight, it has nothing to do with us, we never participate in wars."

As soon as Ya Li finished speaking, Elder Li was the first to express his confusion. Shrek Academy was aloof and never participated in the Federation Grand Competition, only providing the venue.

When out-of-towners come to Shrek City to play, they always look down on them as if they were watching a monkey show.

Yali said, "As is customary, the most outstanding contestants in each competition can come to our school as exchange students, and the top three teams have the right to visit our school."

"I think we can expand the scale, send a signal, and win over some federal forces to our side."

"call.-"

Feng Wuyu blew on his beard and frowned: "Is this necessary? Everything at Shrek Academy is independent."

From fundamental taxation, administration, military, and diplomacy to the four major sub-professional associations, Shrek Academy has its own system. Feng Wuyu, as the president of the Shrek City Blacksmith Association, is not fond of outsiders and does not like to communicate with them.

After all, his forging skills are far inferior to Zhenhua's, and he can never catch up in this lifetime, so what's the point of exchanging ideas?

Yun Ming glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "That's precisely why we must put aside our arrogance. Shrek Academy's students come from the entire Federation, and a large amount of its resources also come from the Federation."

"Wu Yu, go out of Poseidon Island and take a look around the streets and alleys of Shrek City. The prices of many daily necessities are skyrocketing. Shrek City has suffered heavy economic losses this year."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuyu was startled: "Is it that serious?"

Ya Li said bitterly, "Aside from the tools that Tang Sect can produce, the prices of one-third of the daily necessities in Shrek City fluctuate wildly. The root cause is the economic decoupling of the Yu family and the Le family. The Hongchen family and the Kong family are also contributing to this."

Zhuo Shi roared, "Shameless coercion! Do you think you can make Shrek Academy submit like this?!"

Upon hearing this, the elders launched a scathing attack, condemning the four major families for their unethical economic offensive, completely forgetting that the Shrek Vampire Federation's prosperity was built upon their actions.

The currency equivalent of Shrek City is contribution points. When outsiders do business with them, it's like exchanging pure Federal currency and industrial products for contribution points that have no purchasing power in the Federation. It's practically free.

After Feng Zaixing discovered this, he felt that Shrek's move was even more shameless than the Bretton Woods system. Compared to them, Trump, who issued currency before taking office and then speculated in stocks after taking office, was actually a decent person!

A certain overlord on Earth uses paper money to bind hard currencies like gold and oil, but Shrek Academy is just making empty promises! They don't even print a single piece of worthless paper!

With the power of a single city, the entire Federation received inexpensive and high-quality civilian goods, cultivation resources, and a huge amount of federal currency. A portion of the taxes paid by every citizen of the Federation ended up in their pockets!

The thought that a portion of the money he paid in advance in taxes would flow to Shrek Academy made Feng Zaixing so angry that his eyes went black. He immediately translated some economic knowledge into language that people in Douluo Continent could understand and launched a comprehensive economic decoupling.

You like creating your own independent kingdoms, huh? Let's see how you'll function without external support!

Yun Ming, who had spent his life fighting and falling in love, knew nothing about economics, but he understood the Tang Sect's protest. He raised his hand and said helplessly:

"I understand how you all feel, but I have to tell you that not only have we suffered huge economic and trade losses and depleted our reserves to maintain prices, but the Tang Clan is also having a headache."

"That bastard Qian Gu Dong Feng is joining in the fun too. He'd rather lose money than withdraw from Shrek City's economic operations, making it difficult for us to even operate our smuggling channels."

"So now, it's time for us to put aside our pride, gather our strength, and begin the defense."

The elders immediately fell silent.

Shrek Academy's ability to stand independently is primarily due to its unbreakable alliance with the Tang Sect. To put it bluntly, if Shrek City ever runs out of food, the Tang Sect will sell everything they own to provide it.

But the fact that the Tang Sect also encountered trouble shows that Shrek Academy is not strong enough.

Seeing this scene, Yun Ming felt a little relieved. In reality, Zang Xin was not only having a headache, but was even a little frantic.

With Shrek's golden body shattered, the roles of offense and defense have shifted, and some groups within the Federation have reached a consensus to jointly suppress the Shrek faction.

Among the five major families, the Yu family is number one, wielding immense influence in both the military and political spheres; the Le family is the dominant power in the south, deeply entrenched; and the Kong and Hongchen families are long-established scientific research families with influence extending throughout the continent.

Many companies controlled by the Yu and Le families would rather use the technology of the Kong and Hongchen families than accept orders from the Tang Clan. Zang Xin has conveyed the pressure from the Tang Clan to Yun Ming. Some people believe that they have been badly screwed over by Shrek Academy.

I'm willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, even if it means carrying a knife together, but there's a limit. Our Tang Clan still has business dealings with the Federation!

It was impossible to bow down to the Federation. After discussing it, Yun Mingya and Li Yi decided to put aside their pride and gather strength, win over allies, and fight against the anti-historical group.

Leading our old allies, we charge into battle against the opposition!

For 20,000 years, Shrek's reputation has permeated every corner of the continent. Minor setbacks in the inner court are insignificant. More than 30% of the Federation's councilors are from the Shrek faction, and its graduates are elites in various industries.

As long as we unite our forces, we can easily contend with the four major families.

"In this chaotic world, have the Tang Sect closely monitor the movements of evil spirit masters. If possible, kill a few and make a name for yourselves!"

"Yes."

"Master of the Ancient Tower, I have long admired your name."

Several days after the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended, Feng Zaixing entered Shrek's outer city for the first time and climbed the Heavenly Spirit Tower, the headquarters of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Facing the Spirit Tower Master, with whom he had collaborated remotely on multiple occasions, Feng Zaixing appeared neither humble nor arrogant, his friendly and polite smile carrying a hint of aloofness.

"Haha, my name, my nephew, is well-known." Upon getting up close to this young man who had caused Shrek Academy to suffer losses many times, Qian Gu Dongfeng also showed great interest. After exchanging pleasantries, he began to observe him closely.

Judging solely by appearance, he had never seen anyone more handsome. This young master of the Body Sect was tall and strong, with an excellent face, and had excellent six-winged angel genes.

His cultivation level was somewhat unfathomable; it seemed that a powerful figure had left some tricks on him.

With a sudden thought, he smiled and said, "I've heard that you're a diligent cultivator, nephew. What brings you to my Spirit Transmission Tower today?"

Could it be that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck and I need to break through with my soul?

"My Spirit Pagoda may not be as grand as the Federation's, but it does hold a considerable number of treasured spirits. Nephew, if you fancy any of them, feel free to choose!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng acted with extreme arrogance, as if the person who was on the phone with the Ghost Emperor was not him at all.

Feng Zaixing cupped his hands in greeting: "Tower Master, you're too kind. I'm not here for spirits today; I'm a federal public servant here to make money. The federal government should make money in a legitimate way."

"Well said! Shrek City has two major powers, Shrek Academy and Tang Clan, both of whom are involved in selling arms to the neighboring continent and engaging in trade with the Federation!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng snapped his fingers, a mocking smile on his face, and said, "All I've gained are cultivation resources!"

Kong Yao smiled faintly, "The Spirit Pagoda has spread across three continents. It seems the Ancient Pagoda Master has a deep understanding of it. Could you tell us about it?"

"No, no, no, my Spirit Pagoda is just an errand runner for the Federation, and only one of its legs; the profits from selling spirits must be sent back to headquarters to pay taxes to the Federation."

Hearing Kong Yao's pointed remark, Qian Gu Dong Feng immediately clarified his position, then added, "If you two are in a hurry to make money, then those two continents are a good place to go. Our Spirit Pagoda can not only support military expenses, but also provide the military with a batch of soul spirits!"

"Two continents, vast distances, war is a major undertaking, not something that can be decided in a short time." Feng Zaixing waved his hand. He hadn't grown up yet, what war could he fight? He wouldn't get any military merit awards.

Kong Yao stroked his beard and laughed, "Besides, once we start fighting, how do we know if Shi Tang will leak intelligence or provide weapons? We can't fight this war yet."

Qian Gu Dongfeng showed a hint of regret and nodded, saying, "Then don't blame me for being unable to help with the Spirit Pagoda. Money in Shrek City is not easy to earn."

"I'm not so sure," Feng Zaixing chuckled. "Shrek Academy has always been dominating the Spirit Pagoda. Without venting this pent-up anger, how can your pagoda truly become the number one organization on the continent?"

"Compared to Shi Tang, the Federation would much rather see the Spirit Pagoda establish an academy to cultivate talents from all over the world."

"Is this really true?" Qian Gu Dongfeng leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Feng Zaixing without moving.

Establishing the Spirit Transmission Academy is a crucial step in his business empire.

"Really?" Feng Zaixing readily agreed.

"Of course, we need the Tower Master's opinion. This junior is not talented, but I would like to establish a fighting arena beneath the Spirit Transmission Tower. I wonder what the Tower Master's opinion is?"

As he slowly revealed his self-description, Qian Gu Dong Feng's expression changed, and the joy on his face grew even stronger.

"Excellent! This is exactly what I wanted! I, the Tower Master, would like to congratulate my nephew in advance on his resounding victory, which has overwhelmed the entire Shrek Academy generation!"

"Thank you, Tower Master. It's been a pleasure working with you." Feng Zaiqi stood up with a smile and took his leave from Kong Yao.

Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled warmly and watched the two walk out of the Spirit Pagoda.

During the foggy time, his smile vanished, and he took out his communicator, dialed a top-secret number, and said to the other end:

"Ghost Emperor, I cannot cooperate with you to destroy Feng Zaixing for the time being. Letting them fight Shi Tang to the death is the best option right now!"
