Practice field, Mu Ye took a deep breath and said seriously, "Kid, are you ready? I won't hold back now!"
The nine soul rings at his feet burst forth suddenly, and an intense oppressive force enveloped the air…
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and stared intently at the former, "Come on, Senior Mu Ye!"
His pupils gradually emitted a thick purple hue...
Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Purple Demon Eyes!
Without this move, he would likely be unable to capture Mu Ye's figure like before!
As he finished speaking, Mu Ye moved…
His legs kicked, and his whole body seemed equipped with thrusters, rushing forward…
Tang Wulin's forehead dripped with cold sweat, "So fast, yet still within the range my eyes can capture, Second Soul Skill, Bluesilver Impaling Array!"
As the second soul ring under his feet lit up…
In front of Mu Ye's path, suddenly, hundreds of sharp Bluesilver Grasses burst forth from the ground…
Seeing this, Mu Ye's expression remained unchanged, he indifferently said, "Insignificant Skill!"
Then, unafraid, he clenched his fist and smashed it towards the Bluesilver Grass…
A loud 'bang', the terrifying force smashed the ground into a huge pit…
Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes, "As expected, the control-class Martial Soul does not work against Senior Mu Ye."
It should be noted that his Second Soul Skill had a paralyzing effect!
Yet, the opponent felt not the slightest discomfort upon contact!
Mu Ye glanced at the large pit, somewhat annoyed, said, "Kid, don't pull all these flashy tricks, use that bloodline power inside of you!"
Compared to a contest of soul skills, he preferred the sensation of direct, fist-to-meat combat…
Tang Wulin didn't refuse, "Yes, Senior Mu Ye!"
First Vitality Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Body!"
As he mobilized the golden dragon bloodline within, the first Vitality Soul Ring lit up...
In just a few seconds, his entire body was enveloped by the hard Dragon Scales...
Yet it wasn't over, he extended his hand, and commanded, "Golden Dragon Spear, come!"
A spear capable of piercing through everything materialized in his hands, majestic!
Witnessing all this, Mu Ye exclaimed, "Good lad, you've been hiding so much strength!"
Tang Wulin only smiled slightly, "Senior Mu Ye, no offense!!"
Gripping the Golden Dragon Spear, he felt an infinite release of his fighting spirit, confronting his opponent directly...
Mu Ye bellowed, "Well met!"
A fist collided with the Golden Dragon Spear, sparking fierce sparks...
But as another fist thundered out, Tang Wulin immediately felt the pressure and was blown backward...
But this did not instill fear in him; instead, it intensified the fighting spirit in his eyes…
"Fourth Spirit Blood Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Rage Domain!"
At this moment, all his attributes were multiplied, pushing him close to the level of a Titled Douluo!
Feeling the opponent's strength growing stronger, Mu Ye spoke with heated enthusiasm, "This is how it should be, fighting with meaning!!"
…
The next day!
Spirit Pagoda!
```
All the council members received Leng Yaozhu's notification and promptly arrived at the headquarters!
At this moment, they gathered together, discussing...
One of the council members pondered, "Recently, the number of people in our Spirit Pagoda seems to have increased a lot, I always feel it's several times more than before!"
Another council member affirmed, "Indeed, it's said that an army corps with over ten thousand people has joined our Spirit Pagoda, which can be considered a tremendous fortune."
"No wonder the Pagoda Master summoned all the council members for a meeting today, it must be concerning these new members!"
"I think it's not that simple, the Pagoda Master recently seems to have some significant reservations about the current council members, I fear the Spirit Pagoda might make some major changes!"
Just then, the female staffer responsible for conveying Leng Yaozhu's message respectfully spoke, "Council members, it's time, please enter the great hall for the meeting!"
After these words, they took the elevator together into the grand hall, and each took their respective seats!
At the main seat, Leng Yaozhu, with an expressionless face, said faintly, "Is everyone present?"
The woman beside her slightly bowed, "Replying to the Pagoda Master, all the council members are present!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, "Good, let the meeting officially begin now."
She had wanted to catch a few council members who were late to oust them from their positions, but it seems they were all on alert!
As she finished speaking, other than the woman by her side, the rest of the Spirit Pagoda members left...
At this point, Leng Yaozhu's expression gradually became grave, as she addressed the gathered council members, "My fellow council members, you must have already heard the news. Just yesterday, in the capacity of the Pagoda Master, I approved the request for a certain corps to join the Spirit Pagoda!"
She glanced at the woman, "Report on the situation of this corps!"
The latter nodded, "Yes, Pagoda Master."
Then, she displayed a virtual screen, beginning to speak, "According to the statistics, this corps boasts approximately ten thousand eight hundred soul masters, with sixty percent being Grand Soul Masters to Soul Ancestors; thirty percent from Soul Kings to Emperors; and ten percent from Soul Sages to Soul Douluos!"
She paused momentarily, then continued, "Besides, all the commanders of this corps have reached the level of Hyper Douluo!"
Upon hearing this, all the council members exclaimed in surprise...
"What??? The addition of several Hyper Douluos, our Spirit Pagoda is indeed formidable!"
"With these powerful additions, our position on the Continent will be even more formidable!"
"Yes indeed, no wonder the Pagoda Master agreed, this corps is truly exceptional!
"But… if it's just one corps joining, a simple notification would suffice, there's no need to summon all the council members!"
"I'm not sure, but the Lord of the Cold Tower must have her reasons!"
At that moment, as the council members pondered, Leng Yaozhu's tone grew colder...
"Indeed, the joining of this corps to the Spirit Pagoda is beneficial, however, there's one issue within the Spirit Pagoda that has always troubled me!"
Hearing the sudden change in her tone, the council members all sensed an ominous feeling…
Before they could think further, Leng Yaozhu harshly said, "Exactly, as you all might guess, to facilitate management, the commanders of this corps who joined the Spirit Pagoda need appropriate positions."
"And the position of a council member is most fitting! Therefore… today we will dismiss the council members who have contributed the least to the Spirit Pagoda!"
These words directly chilled the hearts of these council members…
They were not the council members from the era of Qiangu Qingfeng who had their own factional power!
Being dismissed was merely a matter of a single sentence from the Pagoda Master!
"Pagoda Master, isn't this a bit too arbitrary? Every council member has struggled hard for the Spirit Pagoda, if not made great contributions!"
"Yes, Pagoda Master, doing so might dishearten the other council members."
"I support the Pagoda Master's proposal; if they haven't contributed to the Spirit Pagoda, holding the position of a council member only hinders our progress!"
