Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chapter 80 Xuanzi: Putting aside the facts, aren't you all at fault?

This momentary lapse in concentration caused Xuanzi to lose control of his soul power, and the soul power that had been channeled into Chen Zifeng's corpse became nourishment for the Corpse Explosion Technique.

Chen Zifeng's corpse seemed to have been accelerated; almost instantly, it turned into a blood mist that spread in all directions with a loud bang.

"what!"

"What are you doing!"

Two sounds rang out simultaneously. The first was the scream of the Grim Reaper. It would only take two or three seconds for Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo's corpses to explode.

After realizing what was happening, Ma Xiaotao immediately launched an attack on the Grim Reaper.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow and resentment. She pushed the phoenix flames to their limit, and the Grim Reaper only had time to let out a scream before disappearing into the intense heat of the flames.

Yes, it simply vanished, leaving no trace. The Grim Reaper disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated into thin air.

(In Chapter 116 of the original novel, Level 5 Soul Master Lin Xi was instantly vaporized by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Roaring Strike.)

The latter was Wang Yan's angry shout. He strode up to Xuanzi, angrily grabbed the greasy collar, and his expression was twisted with extreme anger.

"What are you doing! As the team leader! Why aren't you with the main team!"

You could have protected Chen Zifeng's body, you could have used your soul power to neutralize his soul skill, why! Why did it explode again! What are you doing?!

Wang Yan almost roared as he spoke these words. After saying them, he staggered backward and collapsed to the ground, his anger gradually subsiding and replaced by deep sorrow.

Wang Yan's face was ashen, his expression a mixture of dejection and despair, and his extreme sorrow deeply affected everyone present.

The reserve team watched this scene in silence, each of them still shaken by the brush with death.

Even Huo Yuhao looked surprised, but his surprise stemmed from the terrifying destructive power of the exploding corpses.

A flicker of enthusiasm flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. This corpse explosion made him even more eager to acquire the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, which possessed the solidified Ice Explosion Soul Skill, from that top-tier auction.

"I, I—" Xuanzi stammered, trying to say something. He looked at everyone, his expression blank and bewildered.

If it were any other day, Xuanzi would have slapped Wang Yan long ago for such rebellious behavior and tone.

But the situation is different now. Three students have died and one student is seriously injured. The immense psychological pressure has already made Xuanzi extremely confused, and he has no time to teach Wang Yan a lesson.

Xuanzi raised and lowered his hand intermittently, gesturing for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

Those disappointed and questioning gazes pierced him deeply. He wanted to speak up and defend himself, but he didn't know what reason to give.

"Um, shouldn't we treat Dai's wounds first?" Bei Bei was the first to recover from the horrific scene and pointed at Dai Yueheng, whose voice was already hoarse.

This sentence successfully awakened Wang Yan. He pushed himself up with both hands and scrambled to Dai Yueheng's side, taking out a variety of medicines from his storage soul tool.

Wang Yan took out a syringe and inserted it into Dai Yueheng's upper arm.

Once the pale green liquid in the syringe had completely disappeared, Dai Yueheng's breathing gradually calmed down, he stopped wailing, and peacefully fell into a deep sleep.

This is a specially formulated medicine containing a large amount of sedative and analgesic ingredients, which can numb the senses of the injured.

Wang Yan's fingers trembled as he pried open Dai Yueheng's eyelids. Seeing the eyeballs that were almost completely corroded, his heart sank to the bottom.

This level of damage is completely incurable. Wang Yan now only hopes that the corpse poison has not seeped into Dai Yueheng's brain and damaged his nerves.

"Our top priority is to get Yao Heng back to the academy for the best possible treatment. The regular team has already lost three members; we can't afford any more accidents!"

The words "regular team" suddenly jolted Xuanzi awake, reminding him of the most important purpose of his trip: the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Shrek's glory rose from his heart and took over Xuanzi's mind.

Xuanzi's expression turned solemn and dignified. He flashed to Dai Yueheng's side, lifted him up with his soul power, and said to Wang Yan, "Wang Yan, I hereby authorize you as the team leader for this competition. I need to take Yueheng back to the academy for treatment first. The glory of Shrek Academy is entrusted to you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan was taken aback. The anger he had just suppressed surged up again, and he roared at Xuan Zi, "What time is it now! You're still thinking about the competition!"

"Tell me how we can compete? The reserve team is just a bunch of kids. Even if Xiaotao and the others weren't injured, they're still missing four key players. Tell me, how can we compete?!"

At that moment, Xuanzi's astonishing brain circuits kicked in again. Ignoring Wang Yan's roar, he looked at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen with a serious expression and asked in an unquestionable tone, "Why aren't you two injured?"

"This is an invincible shield; it was it that automatically triggered and isolated the damage from the corpse explosion."

Ma Xiaotao removed the invincible shield from her chest, which was now just scrap metal, and explained to Xuanzi.

"I'm the same as the captain." Ling Luochen also took off the invincible shield on his chest and gestured to Xuanzi.

"An invincible shield? What is that?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Xuanzi's eyes. He didn't know much about soul tools. He only knew four types: storage soul tools, communication soul tools, flight soul tools, and freezing soul tools.

The first three need no further explanation. As for the frozen soul tool, he specially commissioned Qian Duoduo to make it so that he could always keep the food at its freshest.

"The Invincible Shield is a defensive soul tool that can block attacks at the level of a Soul Douluo during its duration."

Elder Xuan! Now is not the time to talk about this. Taking Yueheng back to the academy to heal is the most important thing!

Wang Yan explained the function of the invincible shield to Xuanzi, his tone clearly showing impatience and urging.

"It seems that neither of you had an invincible shield on you before," Xuanzi said slowly, as if he had remembered something.

"Elder Xuan, what do you mean by that?" Ma Xiaotao also sensed something was wrong at this moment, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice.

"You guys probably only got this recently, right? Why didn't you assign one to the other members of the starting team too?"

As soon as Xuanzi finished speaking, everyone present was startled. They all turned their gazes to Chicken Leg Douluo, their expressions indescribable.

"Elder Xuan, what exactly are you trying to say?" Wang Yan forced out the words through gritted teeth, suppressing his anger.

"Xiao Tao, as the team leader, if you want to increase the security of the operation, why do you only equip yourself and Ling Luochen?"

Is this how you act as a team leader?
