Chapter 3683: Chapter 3929
By this time, War God Ao Rui took the initiative and proposed, "How about this? The federation will be responsible from Monday to Tuesday, Spirit Pagoda from Wednesday to Friday, and Tang Sect from Saturday to Sunday!"
"What do you two think of this arrangement? Feel free to raise any concerns!"
His ranking was entirely based on the technological levels of the three powers!
Bi Ji raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Oh? War God Ao Rui actually allocated the most time to Spirit Pagoda, which is somewhat unexpected!"
She originally thought that he would strive for the greatest benefit but found he was unexpectedly willing to compromise!
Hearing this, Ao Rui patiently responded, "Among the three forces, Spirit Pagoda has the most advanced technology, so naturally, it should have the longest research time!"
"Moreover, whether one power has more or less time, in the end, it's all for the sake of Xu Sheng's return!"
"Right, Hall Master Guo?"
Guo Xiaoxu nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Hmm... This division is indeed quite reasonable. In fact, Tang Sect's research in this area is not deep; having one day for research is enough!"
He was well aware of Tang Sect's level of technology, and for this reason, he was willing to voluntarily shorten the time!
Ao Rui shook his head, denying the former's view, "Hall Master Guo is being too modest. To this day, no power has been able to decode or replicate the Soul Array Defense System developed by Tang Sect, which speaks volumes about its effectiveness!"
Guo Xiaoxu felt an inexplicable sense of relief, patting his chest and saying, "War God Ao Rui, if you put it like that, I might just float away…"
Indeed, Tang Sect's most formidable aspect was not the strength of its Soul Masters or its scale of power!
It was the Soul-guided Defensive Array System capable of defending against God-slaying level soul cannonballs!
This was the culmination of wisdom from countless Tang Sect scientific researchers!
"Since there are no objections, let's decide on this. Today is Friday, so let's have the Spirit Pagoda conduct the research!"
"Of course, before that, the federation needs to share the previous research reports to avoid wasting time on redundant work!"
Ao Rui did not object, "Naturally!"
He then looked towards a member of the federation behind him…
The latter immediately understood and promptly took out a soul tool containing the research data and handed it over...
…
Seeing the sudden appearance of a figure blocking his path, Tang Wulin immediately bowed with clasped fists and said, "Elder Mu Ye!"
He held great respect for Mu Ye in his heart, as the elder had helped him more than once!
Mu Ye smiled and said, "Little guy, since you're already here, why not stay for a while, have a simple meal, and taste my cooking!"
Tang Wulin paused, shaking his head and said, "Elder Mu Ye, although I would like to agree, if I don't return to Shrek Academy in time, I won't be able to get in later! Moreover, if discovered, I will be punished!"
He didn't want to delay here for the time being!
Mu Ye couldn't help but let out a wry smile and playfully tapped him on the head, "You little guy, do you really think I don't know the rules of Shrek Academy? You would only be punished if you leave the academy without permission in the early morning!"
Caught on the spot, even Tang Wulin felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head, chuckling, "Hehe… I didn't realize Elder Mu Ye knew so clearly!"
Mu Ye stood erect, chest out, and proclaimed, "Of course, those little rules of Shrek Academy haven't changed for many years!"
Tang Wulin didn't know how to respond, "Since that's the case, I'll stay at the Blacksmith Association for a while."
It was an invitation from the Sect Master himself, and to refuse again would seem disrespectful!
Mu Ye stroked his beard satisfactorily and said, "That's right, furthermore, lad, has your spiritual power and Soul Power depletion recovered?"
Tang Wulin responded unfazed, "Under the meticulous care you provided last time, I have fully recovered!"
Hearing their conversation, Zhen Hua, puzzled, asked, "Mu Ye, what did you do to Little Wulin when I was not around?"
Mu Ye glared at Zhen Hua irritably, "This lad overexerted his spiritual power and Soul Power while forging last time. I used the Body Sect's secret method to adjust him and prevent any underlying issues!"
The latter smacked his lips, "I see, that's really strange. I remember that your Body Sect's secret methods are never used on those outside the sect!"
It seemed that Mu Ye genuinely wanted Tang Wulin to join the Body Sect, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths!
Mu Ye waved his hand dismissively, "Enough already, I'm the Sect Master of the Body Sect after all. I'll use it on whoever I want to use it on. Besides, who asked me to like the look of Wulin, the lad so much!"
Afterward, Tang Wulin had a meal at the Blacksmith Association, personally cooked by Mu Ye…
After a feast that left him fully satisfied, Tang Wulin praised with a happy face, "As expected of Elder Mu Ye, every dish tastes great!"
It was probably comparable to the chefs at the hotels!
Zhen Hua laughed heartily, "Yes! I agree on that, Mu Ye's cooking skills are indeed exceptional!"
Mu Ye glanced at his watch, then said, "Hmm… It looks like it's about time. Let's go, I'll take you back to Shrek Academy."
Xingluo Empire, Tang Sect Branch!
At this moment, in the square of the Tang Sect, disciples from various departments had already gathered…
Standing at the forefront was naturally the person in charge of the Tang Sect branch, beside him stood several Elders!
Their expressions were extremely serious, as if they were about to announce something important!
Seeing this, the disciples of the Tang Sect murmured quietly below, "Today, the Sect Leader has gathered all the disciples here, what could it possibly be for?"
"I have no idea. Could it be that the Tang Sect branch in Soul Land intends to reclaim the title of headquarters?"
"How is that possible! From what I know, the branch has just established a sect there, and aside from numbers and top-tier combat power, it's nowhere near us!"
"Yep, at least for a few years, we don't have to worry about the branch surpassing us!"
One of the Elders, seeing the scene become somewhat noisy, rebuked coldly, "Disciples of the Tang Sect, quiet down, the Sect Leader has something to say!"
As his words fell, all the disciples of the Tang Sect closed their mouths, and the entire space became utterly silent…
Subsequently, the middle-aged man who had just established himself as the new Sect Leader of the Tang Sect a few months ago, began with his hands behind his back, "My fellow disciples of the Tang Sect, not long ago, we have discovered a unique tomb in Xingluo Land, named Dragon Valley!"
"Within this Dragon Valley, there likely are precious forging materials and rare treasures, but what's unique is that to enter Dragon Valley, the soul power rank must be below the Soul King Realm!"
"For this reason, I and the Elders have decided to select the most outstanding disciples below the Soul King level from among the Tang Sect disciples to enter Dragon Valley!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Tang Sect below widened their eyes and started discussing again…
"Hiss… Dragon Valley? Just the name sounds dangerous, who knows what kind of bizarre soul beasts might be inside!"
