Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 261 Shrek Academy to Develop Soul Tools

Mu En withdrew his sharp gaze, glanced indifferently at Xingluo City not far away, then shook his head and said, "This is truly outrageous. In all the years since the Soul Master Academy Tournament began, this kind of chaotic debate has never happened before."

Xuanzi was also feeling aggrieved: "Elder Mu, I'm actually quite curious as to why this year's audience has turned out this way. Xu Jiawei said it's because of the people of the Sun Moon Empire and the soul tools they use."

Moon stood with his hands behind his back, as if standing on a mountaintop, and no matter how strong the wind was, it could not lift his hair.

"What Xu Jiawei said makes sense. The promotion of soul tools is indeed a product of the times and something that shakes the very foundation of soul masters," Mu En said calmly. "That's why I proposed the decision to vigorously develop the soul tool system at the previous Sea God Pavilion meeting."

"Old Master Mu is truly wise!" Xuanzi couldn't help but admire some of Mu En's ideas.

Mu En's lips twitched. If it weren't for Xuan Zi's mistake in leading the team this time, and the need to shift the blame and give him a way out, he wouldn't have said such a thing.

"Do you know anything about the merchant guild in Xingluo City?" Mu En asked.

Xuanzi shook his head helplessly: "All I know is that it's called the Chanel Chamber of Commerce. They're very good at keeping secrets. Many of the people who show their faces in public are locals they've bribed. We can't directly take action against the people of Xingluo City; the whole continent is watching."

Moon's expression was calm, as if everything was under his control.

But in reality, his heart had begun to feel uneasy.

"Listen to me, Xuanzi," Mu En said. "The development of soul tools has become the trend of the times. Although our traditional soul masters still have obvious advantages, they are not as powerful as they were four thousand years ago."

"I have decided that after this competition, I will accept the exchange request previously made by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and send some of our Soul Guidance Department students there for exchange and learning," Mu En said calmly.

Xuanzi pondered for a moment, then said, "Elder Mu, there's one more thing. Xu Jiawei mentioned in a previous conversation that he wants to abolish the teaching of soul tools in the ordinary academies of the Star Luo Empire and completely nationalize soul tool research."

A hint of disdain flashed in Moon's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Let him be. What he's doing only benefits us at Shrek Academy."

Moon was one of the few people at Shrek Academy who could see even a sliver of the advantages of soul tools. This was because he had once secretly infiltrated Mingde Hall and knew a little about the situation there.

As for the development of the empire, what does that have to do with Shrek Academy?

"The second round of elimination matches is about to begin, right?" Moon asked.

"Yes, Elder Mu," Xuanzi said. "You can look forward to Xiaoguai's performance."

"How are Xiaotao and the others recovering?"

"It's almost done, but Ling Luochen is still recovering from his injuries because he forced his way in earlier."

Moon's eyes lit up: "In the upcoming elimination rounds, let Xiao Tao and Yue Heng be the mainstays! We can't let the world forget Shrek Academy's millennia-old heritage!"

Xuanzi's eyes flickered slightly. Yes, they had been letting the little monsters do their thing, and although it had achieved good results, they also needed to let the world experience what the real Shrek Academy was all about!

After saying goodbye to Elder Mu, Xuanzi found Wang Yan and told him about the plan.

Wang Yan nodded firmly. That's right, among the main contenders, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, these two Soul Emperors who have almost fully recovered, are their true trump cards!

Moreover, the Seven Little Monsters had used too many trump cards in the previous match. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were already exhausted, and Xiao Xiao even shattered her martial soul in order to buy time for He Caitou.

Huo Yuhao, whose first martial soul shattered, rested for over ten days before his second martial soul was almost fully recovered, thanks in part to the torso bones. Even with the support of her family's secret techniques, Xiao Xiao couldn't quickly restore her martial soul.

Moreover, in fact, no matter how one tries to restore it using secret methods, the effects of a shattered martial soul will persist.

He Caitou spent half the night cooking porridge for Xiao Xiao, made with the finest rice oil. Because Xiao Xiao had detonated her martial soul for He Caitou, his gaze towards her had changed, and he swore—

"No matter what happens in the future, I will never let Xiao Xiao get hurt because of me."

Wang Yan coughed lightly.

He Caitou put down his empty bowl, stood up, and followed Wang Yan into the conference room.

"Kids, I'm so glad we've made it to the next round. As Shrek's team leader, I'd like to thank you all very much." Wang Yan bowed to Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Liu Xiaoguai.

"Teacher Wang, what are you doing?" As the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, Bei Bei quickly stood up and helped Wang Yan up.

Wang Yan looked at Wang Dong: "Wang Dong, can you tell me what your second martial soul is?"

Wang Dong nodded: "It's the Haotian Hammer."

"The Clear Sky Hammer?" Wang Yan exclaimed in surprise. "It's actually the Clear Sky Hammer! Are you from the Clear Sky Sect?"

Wang Dong nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Yan gave a wry smile: "Do you remember before, you and Yuhao could cultivate through a special fusion of soul power? That's why I've been wondering if there's a possibility that you two might have multiple martial soul fusion techniques!"

"Multiple Martial Soul Fusion Techniques?" Huo Yuhao, who had recovered, made a surprised expression, because Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had once told him that Wang Dong should also have twin Martial Souls, and the fusion of their soul power led to the possibility that they might have multiple Martial Soul Fusion Techniques.

They are a match made in heaven.

Wang Yan pondered for a moment, then shared his thoughts with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. For example, the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul was also a power-type Martial Soul, similar to the Clear Sky Hammer, so perhaps there was a possibility of fusion between the two, and so on.

"Teacher Wang, it's best not to use Xiao Yuhao's second martial soul lightly right now, isn't it?" Ma Xiaotao frowned and said, "His martial soul was shattered not long ago, and it certainly hasn't fully recovered yet."

Wang Yan was also a little unhappy when he heard Ma Xiaotao questioning his decision: "Ma Xiaotao, we have already revealed too many of our trump cards in the match against Zhengtian Academy. If we don't make more preparations, our advantage will be completely lost after our opponents have studied us in detail."

Ma Xiaotao frowned and didn't respond to the conversation.

The round-robin tournament has ended. Since Zheng Tian Academy, they haven't encountered any strong opponents, so they've been on a winning streak all the way.

Now they've entered the second round of elimination matches, and the player they drew is from Douling Academy.
