Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 12 Xuanzi Arrives Late, First Time at Shrek Academy

After all, it was a white Poké Ball, which was not durable at all. Under the full power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, this Poké Ball could not hold him at all. It would probably only last for a minute or two at most.

However, Su Wen never expected it to be able to trap the 100,000-year-old soul beast. He only hoped to buy some time. As for whether the Poké Ball could be restored after it was broken... in a life-or-death situation, he couldn't care less about those things.

The Poké Ball began to tremble violently.

It was as if an extremely terrifying being was sealed inside.

And fine cracks, like a spider web, gradually spread across the entire Poké Ball.

"hiss……"

Su Wen clutched his head, curled up on the ground, his face turning purple with pain.

This was the first time he had ever felt such intense pain, as if his brain was being torn apart, or as if someone were stabbing his brain with a knife and violently churning it. He was in so much pain that he could barely breathe and almost went into shock, and he didn't have the strength to scream.

"Xiao Wen, are you alright? Don't scare me..."

Ma Xiaotao rushed over and pulled Su Wen into her arms. Her pretty face was full of anxiety, and the evil fire around her seemed to be getting out of control.

Supported by a female disciple from the inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan stared anxiously at Su Wen with her beautiful eyes. She was the only one in the entire room who knew about Su Wen's martial soul, although she didn't know much about the details.

But for a level 12 youth to seal a soul beast that has been sealed for 100,000 years, no matter what methods he used, the price is unimaginable.

About a minute later.

"Bang~"

A crisp, cracking sound rang out.

The white sphere that Su Wen held tightly in his hand quietly shattered, and a blood-red light shot out from it. It was the enraged Bloodthirsty Demon Tiger, which roared and was about to charge at the group again.

But the next moment, that extremely sharp aura suddenly stopped, and then, like a punctured balloon, it plummeted wildly.

"call……"

Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness.

"kill!!!"

……

"I hope it's not too late, I hope..."

Xuanzi's face turned extremely ugly.

Although he muttered his hopes, he knew that at least two hours had passed since the fan issued the warning. Judging from the strength of the other side, if he was lucky, he might even encounter fresh excrement, the Shrek Academy students being devoured by that 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Even if Shrek's side manages to survive, they will likely suffer heavy casualties.

"Wow~"

Just as he crossed another ancient tree.

But he finally stopped.

The sight that came into view was a massive figure, causing his pupils to contract slightly. But he quickly realized that the 100,000-year-old soul beast was already dead, its body covered in wounds, with several deep, fatal wounds on its neck and abdomen.

This injury doesn't look like a normal kill; it's more like... venting anger.

On the other side were the Shrek Academy disciples who had set up a temporary camp.

The wounded soldiers were bandaged in white cloths, and the disciples were acting as scouts, but Zhang Lexuan, Su Wen, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Xuanzi's heart skipped a beat.

not……

He walked quickly into the camp.

Xuanzi knew that everyone had discovered him. All eyes were on him, not as if they had seen a savior, but rather as a hidden disappointment. He remained silent, and this feeling of lack of trust made it hard for him to breathe.

"Lexuan?"

Finally, he saw Zhang Lexuan inside the tent.

And Su Wen, lying in Ma Xiaotao's arms, his face pale.

"Elder Xuan, you've arrived?"

Zhang Lexuan sighed softly.

"..."

Xuanzi took a deep breath: "How is the child?"

"He bought us all a crucial minute, sacrificing his own martial spirit to hold off the Bloodthirsty Demon Tiger, but can his martial spirit be reassembled..." Zhang Lexuan shook her head.

Xuanzi opened his mouth, his face filled with shock. A six-year-old child, who had just entered the Soul Master realm, could actually influence the outcome of this Title Douluo-level battle.

"Roar~!"

A low growl.

A snow-white baboon crawled into the tent and growled a few words at Xuanzi.

It seemed to be a reprimand for his dereliction of duty.

“Alas, when I return, I will ask Elder Mu to let me resign as the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion. The responsibility for this mission going wrong lies entirely with me. I have failed everyone’s trust…” Xuanzi slowly closed his eyes.

“This is your business, you don’t need to tell me,” Zhang Lexuan said softly.

Xuanzi opened his mouth, his face full of annoyance.

He knew perfectly well that although Le Xuan didn't say it, she still harbored a thorn in her heart.

Ma Xiaotao bit her lip.

She really wanted to say something to Xuanzi, but Lexuan stopped her with a wink.

Even her teacher, Yan Shaozhe, could only treat Elder Xuan with utmost respect. This incident would not allow Elder Xuan to resign; the academy's higher-ups would never agree to it.

But as the team leader, he's usually carefree and a little careless, which is acceptable and not a big deal. But in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, such a dangerous place, he went to get some food, making it seem like a vacation...

"Xiao Tao, are you alright?" Xuanzi asked hesitantly.

"Hmph!" Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, ignoring Xuanzi.

……

Su Wen felt as if he had fallen into the pool again.

They could only watch helplessly as they fell into an endless abyss.

Sudden.

A flash of light appeared before my eyes.

A hand reached out, and Su Wen grabbed it with all his might, struggling upwards.

"Huchi..."

The world is broken.

Su Wen gasped for breath, sitting up in shock. He was in a quiet bedroom, not luxuriously decorated, but with a simple and unpretentious feel—all wooden furniture, a faint woody scent in the air, and sunlight streaming in through the window.

It made the whole bedroom warm and cozy.

Shift your gaze to one side.

A fair, delicate hand intertwined with his, each finger long and slender, painted with red lentil nail polish, making it look quite alluring.

And the owner of this hand...

It was Ma Xiaotao, fast asleep, lying beside his bed.

He was lying on a soft wooden bed. When he sat up, he felt dizzy, but his body was fine.

Wait, my martial spirit!
Su Wen's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately began to examine his own condition.

The meridians are functioning normally, without any of the clichéd trope of blocked meridians. The Poké Ball that was originally quietly suspended in the Sea of ​​Spirit is still there...

Has it repaired itself?
Su Wen was bewildered.

But I also felt relieved.

This world requires strength; without strength, you can't move an inch.

If it really becomes useless, then things will get interesting.

The Poké Ball was empty; the hurricane wasn't inside. However, Su Wen wasn't worried. Although he had fainted from the pain, he was still vaguely conscious. The Bloodthirsty Tiger, whose strength had plummeted, was brutally killed by the Shrek Academy disciples.

The hurricane most likely returned with the team.

As for where, he believed his senior sister would arrange it.

Then they began to probe the soul power.

"Huh? Level 14?!"

Su Wen exclaimed in surprise.

The price level didn't fall, it rose instead!
