  Lan Fozi was about to dash forward once again when a figure descended from the sky.

  “Stop it! You’re not allowed to fight in the Mingdu Coliseum. Find somewhere else to settle your personal grievances.” An old man dressed in a Spirit Pagoda’s uniform had already placed himself between them and stretched out a hand at each of them. He looked at the two of them with a vigilant expression.

  These two people were not to be trifled with, so he would not necessarily be able to stop them if they insisted on fighting. Nevertheless, the place was still under the Spirit Pagoda’s authority after all.

  Tang Wulin retracted his arm and raised his chin toward Lan Fozi before walking away in great strides.

  Lan Fozi felt like gnashing her teeth in anger as she watched Tang Wulin’s departing silhouette. She stamped her feet so ferociously against the ground that they made a sound like an explosion. She turned around and left too.

  Lan Fozi’s voice was reached Tang Wulin’s ears, “You, wait and see!”


  Tang Wulin had only extended his index finger and moved it from left to right above his head as if to say, “You can’t!”


  Of course, their clash was captured by the recording devices. The Spirit Pagoda’s worst fear in organizing the Joust For A Spouse Festival this time was the lack of influence. Naturally, they made the most of this incident to promote their event. Soon, the footage was played by the major media channels.

  The collision between the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan’s official heir, Yu Longyue, and the mysterious powerhouse Lan Fozi.

  It was said that Lan Fozi had entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform with Yu Longyue and later exited the platform separately. While they were both inside, something triggered a feud between them.

  ‘Lan Fozi is a powerhouse with Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base and is also one of the favorite contestants. He is said to be the most powerful seed contestant from group number four. Judging from the collision between him and Yu Longyue earlier today, neither of them managed to triumph over the other. If I were the judge who had to choose the proud sons of heaven today, I’d choose both of them.’


  All sorts of news spread like wildfire and there were even many people that heaved a sigh in disappointment after learning that Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi were not grouped together. These two were not destined to fight against one another in the Joust For A Spouse Festival, unless there was a new set of rules when they were choosing the top ten finalists in the end.

  Of course, they would still need to challenge the other powerhouses in their groups in order to enter the top ten. It seemed like Tang Wulin was in a more difficult situation right now for there was a total of three Title Douluo-ranked powerhouses in his group including the spiriter Qiangu Zhangting.

  A faint smile emerged on his face. Tang Wulin’s face was glowing with a wisp of divine light. He took a step forward and radiance seemed to flow from his gaze. He appeared charming and graceful.

  ‘Lan Fozi, you’re more powerful than I imagined. Hmm, very well. What if we add one more person?’


  The round-robin tournament was about to begin and the competition had entered an incredibly intense stage. Ticket scalpers had begun to appear inside Mingdu City. The ticket prices had skyrocketed thanks to the Spirit Pagoda’s constant efforts to sensationalize the event.

  At the same time, the Spirit Pagoda announced that the starting day of the Joust For A Spouse Festival’s round-robin competition was also the official opening day for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. Any soul master that wished to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform would need to pay a certain amount.

  Of course, the entry fee was rather expensive. Even so, given the large number of young, high-ranking soul masters gathered in Mingdu at the time, they definitely had enough purchasing power. Moreover, one round of the round-robin would take up to five days. Every soul master was given five days to recuperate after each round. As a result, even the top one hundred finalists could find the time to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to elevate their spirit souls’ strength, hoping to develop more powerful abilities for later in the competition.

  There was no doubt that the Spirit Pagoda’s strategy had brought unparalleled results. The Ten Thousand Beast Platform would be opened to the public the next day, and the slots available on the first day were fully booked. According to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform’s rules, only two hundred people would be allowed to enter every day.

  The slots were being sold for as high as five million Federation coins.

  At that price, two hundred people would bring in one hundred million federation coins.

  How were there profits being calculated? Generally, the money needed to forge a black mecha was about ten million federation coins. Actually, there were some that were more expensive, as only the most basic one cost ten million coins.

  Nevertheless, one hundred million Federation coins per day was already beyond one bucketful of gold per day!

  Even if there were only a few thousand people that registered for the platform, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform would surely be swarmed with people for the next forty over days of the competition. The Spirit Pagoda could definitely make a huge profit from this.

  Their business model was planning to bring in repeat customers, making it so that the soul masters would not be able to stop themselves even if they wanted to.

  Since the beginning of the festival, everything was carried out as planned. Many were trying to make reservations for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, but the officials from the Spirit Pagoda refused to take them. Going by their principles, all had to stand a chance of entering the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. Thus, when the platform opened its doors to the public in the morning, it would have a first-come, first-served basis.

  That being said, there were ten slots allocated each day to be auctioned off to the wealthy patrons that wished to enter. There was no doubt that these slots would cost more than just five million.

  These strategies were set by Qiangu Zhangting. Judging by the current situation, the amount of money coming from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform over the next two months was definitely reaching an astronomical number.

  Qiangu Zhangting smiled. “Grandfather, this is not just my contribution but also Na’er’s! Had it not been her effort in perfecting the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, we couldn’t open it to the public. The energy in Ten Thousand Beast Platform is capable of maintaining its circulation now, so it’s going to be our golden goose. Moreover, heh-heh……”


  At this point, Qiangu Zhangting laughed. Qiangu Dongfeng’s face had also cracked into a ghastly smile.

  Qiangu Dongfeng spoke in a deep voice, “It’s true that Na’er has made a contribution. Both of you make such a good couple, like putting pearl and jade together. With the results from this event, the voices of dissent from the organization will be greatly reduced when you inherit position as Pagoda Master. By then, both of you shall join hands. The Spirit Pagoda will certainly flourish with you at the helm.”


  Gu Yuena smiled. “Zhangting is a meticulous person. Pagoda Master, don’t worry. We shall carry everything out according to our original plan after this.”


  Qiangu Dongfeng burst out laughing aloud. “Silly little girl. You should be able to address me as ‘grandfather’ after the festival has ended, right? I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time.”


  Gu Yuena’s charming face blushed, and she lowered her gaze.

  Qiangu Zhangting took a glance at her with infatuation and said, “Grandfather, you can listen to Nana addressing you as such as many times you want when I marry her in a perfectly justifiable manner.”


  Qiangu Dongfeng spoke, “Alright, alright alright. Oh, Na’er. I think that we will still need you to attend to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. Don’t male any trouble. We are only taking five million Federation coins per person this time. Everyone should understand that this is not expensive. Our main purpose is to ensure its stability so that the soul masters can gain a reasonable number of benefits. Only then we can lock them down as our long-term customers.”


  “Don’t worry, Pagoda Master. I have good control over it now. The beast spirit power in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is controlled by the planar law. We’ve already reached an agreement with the two great lords of the plane and the deal benefits both sides. They depend on the support of the energy supplied by us to continue surviving. Indeed, they are not necessarily indispensable for our requirements. They won’t have the audacity to break their promise.”


  “Great, it’s not easy to deal with those two. Had it not been for our advanced technology with four-word battle armor as my support, I won’t risk my life to do the impossible either. Please invite the supreme elder to go along with you the next time you see them.”


  “Hmm, don’t worry. I’ll take care of my safety,” said Gu Yuena smilingly.

  “Hmm, alright then. I won’t be disturbing the both of you anymore. I shall return for my meditation retreat. Do as you please.” Upon saying that, Qiangu Dongfeng smiled and vanished soundlessly as if he had transformed into a puff of smoke.

  Qiangu Zhangting had an excited expression on his face when he looked at the direction of his grandfather’s departure. “Nana, we have succeeded for real this time. Do you know that there are already people lining up in front of the entrance to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform now? It’s filled to the brim with people! The price we set is a little too low. I believe in you. Even if you charge ten million per person, the place will still be filled with people.”


  Gu Yuena smiled. “All good things come to those who wait. The reason why we don’t set a high price is that the main aim here is to allow even more people to have a taste of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform’s benefits. It’s only by doing so that they’ll be dependent on our Ten Thousand Beast Platform in the future and unable to fight the temptation.”


  Qiangu Zhangting spoke with a smile, “Meanwhile, they’ll be finding it harder and harder to escape our grasp by then. I wonder what they would think if they were to know that their spirit soul’s elevation gained from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform can be taken away using its planar power. The more elevation there is, the more of a threat to them later. In another eight to ten years, we’ll be in control of the entire soul masters’ world! By then, the grown powerhouses won’t oppose us recklessly. Otherwise, we’ll take back their beast spirit power and severely reduce their abilities!”
