"What?! What are you up to, Qian Gu Dong Feng? Don't forget, after Shi Tang's demise, your Spirit Pagoda will be the most conspicuous organization!"

At a certain outpost of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Ghost Emperor, who was plotting evil deeds at home, was stunned by the sudden change of heart by the Eternal East Wind and painfully explained the consequences.

"If the six-winged angels don't die, they'll eventually become quasi-gods, greatly increasing the Federation's power. When that happens, my Holy Spirit Cult will fall, and your Spirit Pagoda won't have an easy time either!"

"Alright, alright, do I need you to tell me this? It's not that we won't kill them, it's that we'll kill them slowly, we'll kill them in a planned and strategic way."

"If we kill him now, those people will turn around and join forces with Shrek Academy, and we'll both die! My Spirit Pagoda won't stand for that!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng interrupted abruptly, then proceeded to explain the newly agreed-upon plan.

At the Holy Spirit Cult's outpost, the Ghost Emperor's face, devoid of much flesh, twitched as he listened, falling into a long silence.

Wasn't it agreed that they would act as the black gloves? Why is the boss behind the scenes personally stepping in?

After a long time, the Ghost Emperor felt that he had roughly figured out the situation.

"Are there two groups within the Federation that want to take down Shrek, one radical and one conservative?"

"That's for sure. Feng Zaixing's faction is the radicals. They start with economic and reputational issues, aiming to destroy the enemy's morale before killing them. The military minister's faction is crude and wants to blow up Shrek Academy directly."

As the head of the Spirit Pagoda, which also operates under a parliamentary system, Qian Gu Dongfeng considered himself an expert in this field and confidently stated:

"In my opinion, Feng Zaixing's methods are better. Shrek graduates are all over the continent, so even if it's blown up, it can be rebuilt; but if its reputation is shattered, it's much more thorough, and even if it's rebuilt, it won't be the best on the continent anymore."

There was something he didn't say: Feng Zaixing and his group liked to involve the Spirit Pagoda in their suppression of Shrek Academy, and he loved that.

The Ghost Emperor rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "—? This Federation, they even divide things into factions over this. Why not just kill them all?"

When will this damn federation ever unify its internal thinking?

"Who cares? This is how things are in the Federation. There are factions within the hawks too. Just bear with it for now. It will take the minister time to get those two things."

At this moment, Qian Gu Dong Feng was preoccupied with the "Spirit Transmission Academy" that Feng Zai Xing had promised him and the opportunity to boost the reputation of the Spirit Transmission Tower. He decisively betrayed the interests of his ally!

The Ghost Emperor was furious, gritting his teeth as he said, "Let me remind you, Tower Master of the Ages, if you allow the six-winged angels to grow up, get married, and have children, they will become a group of future Super Douluo or even Limit Douluo!"

"There are still many years ahead of us, what's the rush?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng frowned and said somewhat impatiently, "Anyway, I've explained everything I needed to. The plan to bomb Shrek Academy remains unchanged. Feng Zaixing, you can't touch a single hair on your head. Otherwise, in public, our Spirit Pagoda will also be seen as eliminating demons and protecting the righteous."

"I recognize you, but the Dragon-Panning Cudgel doesn't, and my father doesn't recognize you either!"

Having said that, he didn't even wait for the Ghost Emperor's cursing to come, and decisively hung up the phone.

The black glove is getting emotional. If I don't teach it a lesson, do you think I, the Eternal Tower Master, am a fool?

Giving up, he dialed his father's number with a beaming smile and said cheerfully:

"Father, great news! I'm troubling you to go out for a stroll again, hahaha—"

On the other side, the Ghost Emperor stared at the phone, his anger soaring to the heavens. A monstrous ghostly aura stirred up a dark storm in the camp, and his hoarse voice caused the temperature to plummet.

"Qian, Gu, Dong, Feng! You bastard! After I've used you all, I'll personally twist your head off!"

"I'm going to Shrek City to see what kind of trouble you've got up your sleeve!"

"From the Federation's perspective, the Spirit Pagoda is also a target that needs to be suppressed. With your support for them so much, aren't you afraid they'll grow too powerful and become the new Shrek Academy?"

In Shrek City, in a basement villa belonging to the Kong family, Kong Yao gazed intently at the three buildings on the ground, his eyes deep.

"I only said I supported the establishment of an academy by the Spirit Pagoda, not that I supported its eternal east wind."

Feng Zaixing lay on his cot for a short rest, his deep, star-like eyes sparkling with a rare light of relaxation.

"Qian Gu Dong Feng is dishonest. Using benefits to keep him in check now is just a temporary measure. I will deal with him sooner or later. No matter how well the Spirit Pagoda develops then, it will only benefit us."

"The position of Master of the Spirit Pagoda can be held by his brother, Leng Yaozhu, or even Leng Yaozhu's disciple. I'm just looking at who is willing to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yao turned around, a hint of unease appearing on his face.

"You're a really ruthless guy."

"There's no other way. We're not strong enough. We have to play one faction against another. That's how politics works."

Feng Zaixing yawned and changed the subject, saying, "Qian Gu Dongfeng has great ambitions and is quite capable. He is qualified to be the tower master, but it's a pity that he lost the essence of the Panlong Staff. He has no hope of reaching the quasi-god level in this lifetime."

"If he were as fierce as his father, we would be on guard, but we don't need to now."

"There are priorities. With Shi Tang taken down, the Spirit Pagoda can't cause much trouble. We should thank that idiot Long Yeyue for destroying the Shi-Sheng Alliance, otherwise we really wouldn't have much of a chance."

Kong Yao was amused. This kid was incredibly arrogant, not even taking the ancient East Wind seriously.

"According to what you've said, Qian Gu Dongfeng was obsessed with power struggles and neglected his cultivation. You're so young and your mind is already so heavy. Be careful not to follow in his footsteps."

"This little bit of scheming is nothing to worry about. I have a big brain and I can weigh things up."

Feng Zaixing said humbly and earnestly, "I schemed because I needed time to cultivate, while he schemed because there was no hope of advancement. They are different."

"Alright, it's up to you." Kong Yao shook his head, then his expression turned slightly serious as he said:

"Let's get down to business. Recently, the Shen family sent word that they are very interested in you and your Nine Stars, and want you to serve in the Northern Navy Corps. What do you think?"

"What can I say? I have big ambitions. If I told the Shen family I wanted the positions of Commander of the Northern Navy and General of the Federation, could they afford to give me those?"

Feng Zaixing sat up and pondered, "All the officers in the Northern Navy Corps are from this academy, but unfortunately, apart from the Shen family, it's rare to even produce a lieutenant general. The current corps commander, Shen Yue, is only a lieutenant general, isn't he?"

"A federal general is a rare find; you have quite the appetite."

Kong Yao laughed again, but considering the kid's talent and background, becoming a general was really just a matter of time!

"Of course, the Shen family has indeed considered this matter. They said that if you are willing to cooperate with them in depth, these things can be discussed."

"Is this so-called 'deep cooperation' just a political marriage?" Feng Zaixing said.

"Of course, as you know, Shen Xing is currently at the academy, and of course, the Shen family also has other women of marriageable age."

Kong Yao smiled and said, "Shen Xing also complained that some of the outstanding students she had her eye on had become members of your Nine Stars Club and refused her attempts to recruit them, which gave her a real headache."

"I haven't paid any attention to that woman. As for the arranged marriage—if word gets to Sister Yu's ears, be careful that Shen Xing doesn't get a flower on his neck while walking down the street, or he might be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide."

Feng Zaixing casually replied, a hint of assertiveness unconsciously emanating from his brows: "Marriage is out of the question. They may be interested in my demon servants, but there's one condition: they must be given the best treatment."

"My men are all elites, all graduated as Battle Armor Masters, and they can go to any of the eight major legions. Going to the Northern Navy Legion is me giving them face, not them giving me a discount!"

You covet my talent, and I'll covet your whole family. On the surface, you're all in cahoots with this academy, using its resources, but secretly you're on good terms with the Shrek brothers. I'll stage a coup for you sooner or later!

"Heh, you're really something, kid." Kong Yao chuckled. If it were anyone else speaking like that, he would have given them a good talking-to.

"Without this confidence, attempting to reach the god-level would be a pipe dream; also, Elder Kong, I want to fly in my teacher's red mecha someday, please tell him for me."

"After ten thousand years, the Body Sect is attacking Shrek Academy again. Tell him about this and make him happy. I'll bring some immortal items from the Tang Sect to apologize to him next time."

Having said that, Feng Zaixing adopted the posture of facing the sky with his five hearts facing the heavens, focused his mind, and began to circulate the modified version of the Xuan Tian Gong.

Strands of primordial energy transformed into solid cultivation through breathing exercises, while the soul light within his meridians shone like mist as he attempted to break through the level 44 barrier.

At the same time, streams of blood and qi surged into the fourth stagnant meridian in the body—the Yangqiao Meridian.

"I'm almost eleven now, that's pretty good progress. I'll become a Soul King at twelve. I wonder if I can catch up with Harosa's record."
