This was the first time he had used his Golden Dragon Moon Song battle armor, and only now was he discovering truly how powerful it was. Its power was extremely pure in that it perfectly enhanced all aspects of his power, and it didn't have any additional special abilities; it was purely a tool that amplified his power and offered a layer of additional protection.

The shockwaves resulting from Qiangu Dongfeng's Battling Heavenly and Earth were extremely fearsome, but it was entirely consumed by Tang Wulin's battle armor, and some of it was even reciprocated to him, allowing him to withstand that attack with ease.

Even Tang Wulin himself didn't think that he would be able to gain such an absolute advantage in just a single strike. In the blink of an eye, his aura had been elevated to its peak.

Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes were filled with incredulity, followed by a look of intense resentment.

He could clearly sense that his arm was completely useless now. This wasn't just a normal injury; the life energy of that arm had been completely stripped away.

In the instant that the Golden Dragon Spear pierced through his battle armor, he immediately felt a burst of powerful devouring force, and all he could do was restrict the force within his right arm before quickly disengaging.

This was already the best way to deal with the attack, but for a Limit Douluo like him, losing his right arm meant that he would never be able to reach the quasigod level, thereby completely dashing any hopes he had of becoming a god.

In essence, Tang Wulin had snuffed out his future hope with a single attack, and he had never resented anyone as much as Tang Wulin in this moment.

Tang Wulin pointed his Golden Dragon Spear directly at Qiangu Dongfeng with killing intent flashing in his eyes. This wasn't a sparring match; it was a battle for revenge, a battle to the death!

Powerful battle intent welled up in his heart, and he took a step forward, flying toward Qiangu Dongfeng with a golden streak of rainbow light behind him.

Qiangu Dongfeng had already transferred his Coiling Dragon Staff to his left hand, and in the face of the overbearing Tang Wulin, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes for the very first time.

It was also right at this moment that the powerful beings of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect rose up into the air before flying toward the Spirit Pagoda camp.

The battle was about to commence!

Initially, the Spirit Pagoda had thought that it would be able to at least put up a good fight, but now, the Spirit Pagoda camp's confidence had completely faded.

Tang Wulin had defeated Qiangu Dongfeng, which meant that the Shrek Academy camp had one more Limit Douluo level Soul Master among its ranks, while the Spirit Pagoda camp had one less Soul Master of that caliber.

In the wake of such a turn of events, the outcome of this battle was virtually a foregone conclusion.

"Stop!" Qiangu Dieting suddenly yelled. He had put all of his power as a quasigod into his voice, and everyone faltered momentarily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiangu Qingfeng arrived beside Qiangu Dongfeng, helping him withstand Tang Wulin's fearsome attack before the two rapidly retreated.

Everyone from the Shrek Academy camp also arrived beside Tang Wulin, and the two sides faced off in mid-air.

Qiangu Dieting said in a cold voice, "Do you really plan to force our hand, Tang Wulin? We currently have over 60 ninth-grade soul missiles aimed straight at Shrek City; don't tell me you can keep all of them at bay!"

Tang Wulin knew that Qiangu Dieting was merely putting up a front to disguise his fear, and he said, "So you're going to try and bomb our city again? Go ahead! See if you can leave even a single scratch on Shrek City!"

In preparation for this revenge operation, Shrek Academy had been setting up the soul formation defense system under Ling Zichen's supervision.

From the outside, it was impossible to see the system, but it was complete with functions such as interception, defense, and detection. Furthermore, the system was designed with godslayer missiles in mind, and it was the basis for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's confidence to finally commence this revenge operation.

Qiangu Dieting's expression darkened significantly, and for the very first time, he was struck by a sense of helplessness.

The Spirit Pagoda had been dealt two heavy blows during the joust for a spouse event and the Battle God Hall incident. Meanwhile, Shrek Academy had gone from strength to strength, and it had now outstripped the Spirit Pagoda in terms of top-end power.

Most importantly, the Tang Sect's capture of Eternal Heaven had rid the Spirit Pagoda of the federal military's support.

It was this string of failures that finally led to this situation.

The Shrek Academy camp had seven Limit Douluos, as well as Tang Wulin and A'Ruheng, who possessed Limit Douluo level power. Never in the history of the Douluo Continent had such a fearsome lineup ever been assembled in a single power.

The Spirit Pagoda was a powerhouse in its own right, but it only had five Limit Douluos, one of whom had already sustained severe injuries. Furthermore, the rest of the Shrek Academy camp were no slouches, either! Shrek’s Seven Monsters had proven their power over and over again, and unless the Battle God Hall suddenly decided to support the Spirit Pagoda, it would have no chance in this clash.

Tang Wulin raised his Golden Dragon Spear again, and bursts of bright light erupted forth as one suit of battle armor after another was released by the Shrek Academy camp.

Among the Soul Masters in the Shrek Academy camp, over half of them were wearing suits of four-word battle armor, and this astonishing sight instantly snuffed out what little remained of Qiangu Dieting's hope.

How could there be so many suits of four-word battle armor? Was Tang Wulin already a superior Divine Blacksmith to Zhen Hua?

Regardless of what Qiangu Dieting thought of this, the reality was undeniable; the Qiangu Family was going to be wiped out.

Qiangu Dieting grabbed ahold of Qiangu Qingfeng, who was about to rush out, and sighed, "Our Qiangu Family concedes defeat. Hold on for a moment, Tang Wulin."

After that, Qiangu Dieting began to fly forward slowly while Tang Wulin looked on through narrowed eyes. 

At this point, Tang Wulin wasn't afraid that Qiangu Dieting would try anything funny.

Qiangu Dieting, Qiangu Dongfeng, and Qiangu Qingfeng flew toward the Shrek Academy camp with grim expressions, and Qiangu Dieting turned to the Spirit Pagoda camp as he declared, "Our Qiangu Family admits defeat. It's true that we've engaged in many unscrupulous dealings, but only our family was involved in collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult; no one else in the Spirit Pagoda was involved."

He then turned back to face Tang Wulin. "Shrek Academy has always thought itself to be a fair and just organization, right? I am now admitting defeat on behalf of the Qiangu Family, and you can do with us three as you please. However, I implore you not to harm any other members of the Spirit Pagoda, including my great-grandson, Qiangu Zhangting, who also wasn't involved in the collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult. All that I ask is that you spare him so he can continue to pass down the bloodline of our Qiangu Family.

"If you agree to that, then the three of us will surrender without a fight. Otherwise, we'll be forced to resist, and I'm confident that I'll at least be able to take down a few of you with me."

Qiangu Dieting's words put Tang Wulin in a rather difficult spot.

The Shrek Academy camp had already gained the absolute upper hand, but he didn't think that Qiangu Dieting would adopt this course of action. Furthermore, he was right; if a quasigod like him were to ignite his own flame of life, he would attain godly power for a short time.

However, could he really afford to let Qiangu Zhangting live? That was something Tang Wulin didn't want to do both for himself or the greater good. After all, leaving Qiangu Zhangting alive would be the equivalent of allowing a lingering threat to exist; who knew what could happen?
