Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 223 Surviving in the Cracks, A Destructive Storm

While Ye Chen and Meng Hongchen were engaged in their passionate and intense cultivation, undercurrents were surging within Mingdu.

The situation was no less intense than the storm created by the cultivation between Ye Chen and Meng Hongchen.

Ye Chen was struggling to survive in the cracks.

People from various powerful factions within the Ming capital are secretly targeting them, while many others are desperately seeking their own survival amidst this relentless pursuit.

……

Dinghou Street in Mingdu is located in a low-lying working-class area on the western outskirts of Mingdu.

The western suburbs have always been the place where the lowest-class commoners of the Ming capital lived.

Further west lies the Sun and Moon Mountain Range, composed of clusters of rocky mountains.

On Dinghou Street, there is only one small restaurant, with an area of ​​no more than a hundred square meters and four or five tables.

This place only serves the most basic and simple meals.

Although it was old and run-down, it was packed with people, with even two tables set up near the entrance.

Three people were sitting at a table at the back of the small restaurant. They were all wearing conical hats and veils, making it difficult to see their faces. Even their figures were hidden under wide robes.

"I never expected it to turn out like this!"

The woman sitting in the innermost color had a soft voice, yet it had a clear and pleasant quality.

The voice coming from the right was also that of a girl, soft and beautiful, full of emotion:

"Yes, who would have thought that the Tang Clan would actually defeat the Holy Spirit Sect? Sister Zhang, do you know what ability they used in the end?"

The voice on the left is calm, yet possesses a unique magnetism:
"I'm not sure either, but it's true that the Tang Clan members are the most outstanding talents of our academy's younger generation."

The woman on the inside said, "Given enough time, they will all become the backbone of Shrek Academy. However, I don't understand why they are not representing Shrek Academy this time. Otherwise, Shrek Academy might still be the champion this time."

The woman on the inside was none other than Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire.

On the right is Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

On the left is Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court.

Three stunningly beautiful women, representing three different factions, unexpectedly gathered in such a humble place.

However, such simple and remote places are indeed difficult to be discovered.

Zhang Lexuan smiled calmly and said:

“They have their own ideas. The academy is not a sect, so it will not restrict them.”

Xu Jiujiu and Vina didn't dwell on this issue. The fact that the Tang Sect had wiped out six geniuses from the Holy Spirit Sect without losing a single one of them today had greatly shocked them.

However, the thought that the Tang Sect belonged to the Shrek Seven Devils made him feel a little better.

Perhaps only Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the entire continent, could cultivate such outstanding disciples.

However, both Xu Jiujiu and Vina were impressed by the people of the Tang Clan.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu glanced around, her beautiful eyes turning to Zhang Lexuan, and said in a deep voice:

"Sister Zhang, how's the situation over there?"

Zhang Lexuan naturally knew what she was asking, and nodded slightly as she replied:

"I have discussed it with the elders and we have decided to cooperate with your actions."

"Great, with your help, our chances are much better!"

After listening to her say this for a long time, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she almost jumped up with excitement.

Nothing could be more exciting than this news.

Vina nodded and said:
"Excellent! With a formidable enemy at hand, we must unite as one. Hopefully, this is a good start. No matter how strong the Sun Moon Empire is, it is not a monolithic entity."

The Sun Moon Empire is too powerful. If a war breaks out, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire will be the first to be affected.

Compared to Shrek Academy, their two nations were clearly more eager to deal with the Sun Moon Empire.

"Alright, time is of the essence, so let's discuss the details..."

Vina and Xu Jiujiu, the two beauties, nodded. The three women's voices disappeared, and only their lips behind the veils moved, communicating with each other through soul power.

……

"How's the setup going?"

Xu Tianran leaned back on the soft couch, his eyes slightly narrowed, golden light radiating from them, as he gazed at the person kneeling not far in front of the couch.

It was a man, completely shrouded in black. "Your Highness, everything is in place. We have heavy troops guarding the east, south, and north directions, each with a level nine Soul Master stationed there."

There are more than five fixed-position soul-guided shells in each direction. They should already know this because of our deliberate leak.

Xu Tianran sneered:
"What about the west? How are the preparations going?"

The man in black said:
"Everything is ready in the west too!"

Xu Tianran nodded, his eyes showing approval:
"You did a great job. Send the arrangements out. In the next two days, those in the first-level category, be ready at any time. Now go down!"

"Yes!"

The man in black responded respectfully, stood up, and quickly retreated, disappearing into the night.

Xu Tianran looked in the direction the man in black had left and murmured to himself:

"Hopefully they will make the right choice. If they choose the west, our losses will be greatly reduced."

As he spoke, his body floated up lightly without releasing his martial spirit and drifted onto the wheelchair.

With a gentle wave of his hands, the wheelchair glided forward.

……

The fierce battle between the Tang Clan and the Holy Spirit Sect ignited the atmosphere throughout the city.

After a night of quiet, the next day was exceptionally peaceful.

However, in some streets and alleys, there were many more traces of blood.

Clearly, last night was not peaceful; there was a fierce battle, but the bodies have already been disposed of.

The silence in Mingdu lasted until noon, when the people who were overly excited the day before gradually came to their senses.

Everything is back on track.

As time passed and the sun began to set, the atmosphere in Mingdu became more enthusiastic.

Besides the major competitions on the surface, another competition that is closely related to the lives of many people is about to begin.

The final round of the Mingdu Soul Master Competition, hosted by the three major underground forces of Mingdu, will begin tonight.

As night fell, Huo Yuhao and the others entered the Qingse Hotel.

The rewards for the Soul Masters in this final competition were extremely generous.

The ultimate champion will receive a level nine soul tool, as well as the option to purchase a rare metal weighing up to one ton.

At that time, the final champion will have 49 rare metals to choose from, as long as the total weight does not exceed one ton.

Each rare metal shall not exceed one hundred kilograms.

The Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is currently only manufactured by the Sun Moon Empire.

As for the exact number, only the top management knows, but the number is definitely no more than fifty.

A single level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is enough to destroy a small city.

Two of them, and a medium-sized city is finished.

Even a large-scale city like Mingdu, the largest city on the mainland, could not withstand the impact of more than ten artillery shells.

The fact that the Sun Moon Empire dared to confront the three original kingdoms of the Douluo Continent with only a small territory, and was never invaded by the three kingdoms, is largely due to the Level 9 Fixed-Position Soul Guidance Cannon.

The Evening Water Alliance, or rather the Holy Spirit Cult, is truly incredibly capable.

They even managed to acquire one of these strategic weapons.

Its name is also quite explosive: Destruction Storm.

Huo Yuhao and the others were thrilled when they learned about the rewards.

For them, this was not just a shell, but a sample.

If it can be brought back to the Tang Sect and thoroughly studied, the Tang Sect may also have the possibility of producing level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in the future.

At least with Teacher Xuan Ziwen, her appearance has improved significantly.

Besides the champion, the runner-up and third place also receive a reward, but it's only one ton of rare metal.

Moreover, these are all rewards that are publicly acknowledged.

Each of the three underground factions rewarded its members.

It is precisely because of such generous rewards that so many outstanding young soul masters participate in the skill competition.
