I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Xu Xingyu was surprised after hearing Yan Shaozhe's words.

This wasn't because he hadn't expected Yan Shaozhe to temporarily set aside his prejudice against the Spirit Pagoda and ask him to help his disciple suppress the evil fire.

Rather, is it really worth the other party spending three soul bones that are over ten thousand years old just to resolve such a trivial matter as evil fire?

Keep in mind that one of these three is an external soul bone that is separate from the six major soul bones!

Although none of them are 100,000-year-old soul bones, many of the soul bones provided here are from soul beasts on the verge of extinction.

Moreover, the quality of each soul bone and the skills it provides are comparable to those provided by soul bones from 100,000-year-old soul beasts!

There's definitely something wrong here! Why would Shrek give away so many priceless soul bones just to suppress an evil fire and compensate for being beaten up?

Is this really an attempt to soften their stance and ease tensions between Shrek Academy and Chilling Tower?

Or is this simply a bribe?

Just as Xu Xingyu was still pondering the strange phenomenon before her, Yan Shaozhe spoke again, as if afraid that Xu Xingyu would refuse.

"I know that because of some unpleasant things in the past, the relationship between Shrek and your Chilling Tower is very strained now, but that incident was also caused by our mistake."

"Therefore, as proof of our apology, Shrek Academy has begun discussing whether we can continue the topic we were discussing with you before."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu frowned and asked, "Are you referring to...?"

"Didn't your Spirit Tower want to establish a branch in Shrek City before? Although we at Shrek refused at that time, the higher-ups of our Sea God Pavilion have started discussing this topic again because of some recent events."

"Among them, many elders believe that you can be given a piece of land in Chilling Tower and establish your Chilling Tower branch in Shrek City there."

At that very moment, Xu Xingyu understood what Yan Shaozhe was planning. He wanted to emulate how Shrek had infiltrated the armies and high-ranking officials of the three former empires.

As mentioned before, when the Sun Moon Empire and the original Three Empires were at war a thousand years ago, it was Dean Shrek who united the three empires that were constantly at odds and finally defeated the Sun Moon Empire.

From this perspective, very few of the original high-ranking members of the three great empires were not from Shrek Academy; otherwise, they would not have allowed a neutral force to bind the three kingdoms together to fight against the Sun and Moon.

Instead, they would disregard the Sun and Moon Empire, which is an external enemy, and first engage in internal strife to select the most suitable empire to lead the Three Kingdoms alliance.

This is the scene that would normally appear.

Yan Shaozhe's current plan is that once the Qiling Tower branch is successfully established in Shrek City, Shrek will be able to recommend Qiling Tower as a destination for graduating students.

Now, because the Chiling Tower has established multiple branches in various countries, it requires a large number of personnel.

Therefore, Chiling Tower had no reason to refuse Shrek's recommendation on the surface.

In this way, Shrek could start by infiltrating Shrek's branches, and then, over who knows how many years, have Shrek's people in every high-ranking position in Chilling Tower.

While the number of these individuals may vary, Shrek Academy's educational standing certainly guarantees a substantial one.

The biggest example is Leng Yaozhu, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, who became the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years later in the original work.

Despite being a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, she constantly refers to Shrek and Yunming, and her reaction to Shrek's misfortune is the strongest.

It's true that the Spirit Pagoda wasn't a good thing back then, but Shrek Academy wasn't much better!

He destroyed the entire capital city to steal a woman as his wife, and he was also accused of stealing nationally protected protected objects and using a soul-killing missile for the sake of so-called peace.

As a result, everyone from Shrek believed that this was a necessary choice made for the sake of peace on the continent!

Whether they have already left or are still at Shrek, they all think the same way!

This shows that Shrek Glory is really harmful!

However, Xu Xingyu wasn't too concerned about Yan Shaozhe's scheme, because everyone who joined the Spirit Tower had to sign a contract.

This contract was created from a divine artifact used by Xu Xingyu in her previous life, and it is called the Eternal Contract.

Anyone who violates the contract established by this artifact will be punished according to the severity of their crime.

Those who leak important information about the Spirit Tower or collude with external forces will have all their knowledge of the Spirit Tower erased, and their lives will certainly be taken away.

As for Yan Shaozhe's wish for Shrek to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Spirit Tower, that was pure wishful thinking.

Xu Xingyu could only scoff at this, saying that as long as her future education plan succeeded, she wouldn't care whether Shrek Academy would even exist in the future.

It is neither possible nor feasible for it to maintain its reputation as the number one academy in the world.

The moment Shrek is dethroned, a multitude of opinions about him will arise.

If Shrek continues to defeat Shrek in teaching, Shrek's reputation will be greatly reduced, and he will gradually become a force that once existed in history books over time.

Of course, Xu Xingyu had already considered the specifics of how to do it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Xu Xingyu came to Shrek Academy to study under his grandfather's orders. Besides fulfilling his grandfather's regret, he also came to sever Shrek Academy's connection with Tang San.

Although he crippled Tang San's clone a few years ago and caused him to be discovered by the God Realm and eventually suppressed and punished by the God Realm Court.

However, because the current God Realm cannot lose Tang San, it is regrettable that Xu Xingyu was unable to get the Goddess of Life and the God King of Destruction to completely destroy Tang San.

Indeed, Tang San's strength has been greatly reduced due to this punishment. However, we will not feel at ease until all of Tang San's means and influence in Douluo Continent are eradicated or his connection with Xu Xingyu is severed.

At present, Xu Xingyu has already reorganized the Haotian Sect, making them her subordinate forces, and binding the Haotian Sect members with contracts.

Therefore, the only forces that Tang San can still interfere with now are Shrek Academy and Seagod Island, which was left behind by the previous Seagod.

As for the Tang Clan, a sect that had long since fallen into decline, Xu Xingyu also had her own plans for dealing with it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Xu Xingyu said, "I am willing to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, but this is because the Ma family to which she belongs is originally part of our Qiling Tower, so helping her is only right."

Yes, among the forces that Qiling Tower has incorporated in recent years is the Min Clan, which once belonged to the Tang Clan. Ten thousand years ago, Bai Chenxiang, the young patriarch of the Min Clan, married Ma Hongjun, one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Thus, the Min family changed from the Bai family to the Ma family, and after Ma Hongjun became a god, his descendants continued to be passed down in the Ma family for generations.

Ma Hongjun was originally from the Nine Heavens Phoenix Sect, one of the three major sects in the land ten thousand years ago. However, due to a mutation in his martial soul, it became the Evil Fire Phoenix.

Therefore, many of his descendants have awakened the martial soul of Nine Heavens Phoenix or Evil Fire Phoenix.

In this era, Ma Xiaotao is the Evil Phoenix of this generation, while her younger brother Ma Zhengtian is the Nine Heavens Phoenix of this time.

Due to the unreliability of the Evil Fire Phoenix, the current young patriarch of the Ma family is Ma Zhengtian, while Ma Xiaotao is treated as a tool for marriage alliances by the family.

Ma Xiaotao went to Shrek Academy despite her family's objections because she was dissatisfied with her family's favoritism towards her younger brother and the fate that had been forcibly decided upon for her.

Ma Zhengtian was one of Xu Xingyu's capable subordinates in Qiling Tower. After hearing that Xu Xingyu was going to Shrek Academy to study, he asked Ma Zhengtian to help his sister.

After all, he felt guilty towards his sister and believed that if he hadn't been born, the young clan leader might have been Ma Xiaotao.

That way, she wouldn't be treated like this in her family.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu is helping Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire now, not because of Yan Shaozhe's request, but for the sake of her capable subordinate.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe also thought more highly of Xu Xingyu. After all, in his opinion, Xu Xingyu would agree to such a large compensation in one go, rather than expressing her position like this.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe could only smile and say, "Regardless of your reasons for helping Xiaotao, as her teacher, I am sincerely grateful. As for what you said before, I will definitely support your Spirit Pagoda at the next Sea God Pavilion meeting."

Xu Xingyu could only give up and say, "I will consult my teacher, Silver Dragon Douluo, about this. If Shrek Academy is truly willing to cooperate with our Spirit Tower, she will personally pay a visit."

"Then I look forward to the day when our two sides cooperate."
