Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin felt somewhat better, but still couldn't shake off a feeling of guilt…
Seeing this, Ya Li immediately spoke up to interrupt, "Let's stop this topic here. Wulin, it's been so long since you took over as the Sea God Pavilion Master. Everyone, including myself, has seen the contributions you've made during this time!"
"So, there's no need for any other thoughts!"
Upon hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement…
The contributions that Tang Wulin had made to Shrek Academy far exceeded those of any Elder of the Sea God Pavilion. No one was more suitable for this position than him!
Then, she turned her gaze to Lan Muzi next to her and continued, "As for Mu Zi, I know his character. Since he has already spoken up just now, his heart must truly be in favor of you becoming the Sea God Pavilion Master!!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Muzi affirmed without hesitation, "That's right, I might not approve of others, but when it comes to you, Wulin, I wholeheartedly agree."
Tang Wulin, as if he had come to an understanding, nodded and said, "I understand! I won't have such thoughts in the future."
It was he himself who had been too petty. Perhaps in Brother Mu Zi's heart, as long as he could protect the academy, the position of Sea God Pavilion Master wasn't that important!
Ya Li gestured, "Then, let's continue the discussion."
Only then did Cai Yue'er speak, somewhat resignedly, "We just talked about not making the atmosphere so heavy, and now, it's back to how it was before!"
"However, I do have something very important to tell everyone!!"
The others, upon hearing this, did not interject but listened carefully…
Taking a deep breath, Cai Yue'er said, "That is, the federation has already finished mining the rare metals from the abyssal plane and is now expediting the production of the fourth God-killing soul-guided missile!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a bomb had been dropped, and everyone showed a shocked expression…
It was Yue Zhengyu who first opened his mouth to say, "What! The federation has finished mining so soon? Wasn't it estimated to take several months?? Could they have been deceiving us??"
Xie Xie chimed in, "Yeah, I clearly remember the federation saying that the mining difficulty on the abyssal plane was great, and even with a large number of Soul Masters, it would be difficult to complete in a short time!!"
"But it hasn't even been a month to this day, and they have already finished mining!!"
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "I suspect the federation said this on purpose, just to prevent Shrek Academy from leaking any information!"
Yuanen Yehui spoke with categorical certainty, "There's no need to doubt it. It's definitely the case. I can't believe the federation could distrust our Shrek Academy to such an extent!!"
"It's likely not just this matter; they might be hiding other things from us as well!!"
Xu Lizhi clenched his fists in indignation, "Although I can understand the federation's actions, I still feel somewhat angry!!"
They all knew when the federation planned to produce the fourth God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, everyone kept as tight-lipped as a drum, not even telling the academy students!
Tang Wulin spoke softly, "Everyone, calm down a bit. The federation is doing this just as a precaution. After all, this God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile is the last resort against the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters!"
"If it fails, then the federation will hardly have a chance of winning!!"
Although he said this, his back was also covered in a cold sweat…
Thankfully, the federation had only hidden the required mining time. If they had already finished making it, but claimed to still be mining…
Then, the Spirit Pagoda could have already been in ruins!
Yuanen Zhentian propped up his chin, "If the federation succeeds in creating the fourth God-killing soul-guided missile, unless the Spirit Pagoda can find a way to defend against it, victory and defeat will be decided in an instant!"
It was he who had initially obtained this piece of information, yet he hadn't expected the federation to still have secrets!
Lan Muzi's eyes deepened considerably, "Hmm, if a God-slaying soul cannonball were to hit the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, nearly seventy to eighty percent of Soul Masters would perish, with only a very few strong survivors possible!"
"Although the effect is significant, it's simply too cruel, and it could even shake the status of Soul Land!"
Tang Yinmeng's eyes were visibly filled with desolation, "Hmm, speaking of that, our Shrek Academy has faced several God-slaying soul-guided missiles before, fully aware of their terrifying power. If it weren't for the former Pavilion Master blocking them with his life..."
"I'm afraid none of us here could have survived!!"
Ya Li couldn't help but interject a reminder, "Yin Meng, watch your words!"
Tang Yinmeng instantly came back to herself, hurrying to explain, "Sor… Sorry, I was just trying to illustrate the dangers of the God-slaying soul-guided missiles, nothing more!"
Cai Yue'er shook her head, "No harm done, Yin Meng is not wrong. It's thanks to Yun Ming that we were able to survive and rebuild Shrek Academy!!"
Yet Yuanen Zhentian suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, speaking of ways to deal with the God-slaying soul-guided missiles, hasn't the Tang Sect already developed the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System? It seems capable of providing complete defense!"
"The Spirit Pagoda must be aware of this, so… could they seek help from the Tang Sect??"
He vaguely remembered that the old Shrek Academy was also within the coverage of the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System!!
No sooner had he spoken than Ya Li contradicted him, "Elder Yuan'en, that's impossible. The Tang Sect will not provide any help to the Spirit Pagoda!"
Yuanen Zhentian looked puzzled, "Why not…?"
But upon seeing Tang Wulin, he suddenly realized...
"Right, I almost forgot, Wulin is the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect. As long as he says so, the Tang Sect definitely won't assist the Spirit Pagoda!"
This identity played a significant role at the moment!
However, in response to this suggestion, Tang Wulin could only give a wry smile, "Truth be told, even without me, the Tang Sect wouldn't provide help to the Spirit Pagoda!"
The Tang Sect had spent a considerable amount of money to rebuild Shrek Academy in the past...
And it was not enough to expand the range of the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System to cover the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!
Of course, even if the Spirit Pagoda offered financial aid, relying on the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect...
They would still refuse to help...
Yuanen Zhentian nodded thoughtfully, "So it seems, the Spirit Pagoda has no way to withstand a God-killing soul-guided missile!!"
"It appears, between these two powers, the victor will be the federation!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin shook his head, "No… that's not the case. The Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda is Gu Yue. Based on what I know about her, she will surely have made preparations in advance!!"
"Perhaps, the Spirit Pagoda has already found a method to counter the God-slaying soul-guided missiles but has not revealed it to the public!!"
"The reason being, to wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to the federation!"
