Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 157 Arrangement Completed

Outside the Papal Palace, buildings, towers, and fortifications were erected, covering an area of ​​one kilometer. The knights of Wuhun City were stationed there, making it the most heavily fortified place.

Chen Xuan pondered that he had to pass through this place to use his Flying Thunder God ability to teleport; it was an unavoidable geographical location.

Right now, he needs to tamper with this area and secure the medium for the Flying Thunder God.

This place is heavily guarded, like a formidable fortress, making it virtually impossible for outsiders to cause trouble here.

However, Chen Xuan was not worried. He already had a solution. He reached for his storage soul tool, took out a few small stones, held them in his hand, and walked out of the Papal Palace.

He didn't need to summon his martial spirit; with just a thought, a line of small black characters appeared on the surface of a few pebbles.

As usual, Chen Xuan calmly left the competition area, passing by patrolling heavily armored knights without attracting any attention.

After walking more than two kilometers and leaving the campsite, there were still many knights lingering in the area, patrolling and keeping watch over the surroundings.

Chen Xuan seized the opportunity, quickly poked out a pebble, and with a whoosh, it landed in a flowerpot some distance away and embedded itself in the soil.

He glanced around; the two heavily armored soldiers were patrolling and heading to another area, unaware of his subtle movements.

To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan did not rush to leave, but lingered in the area, looking for an opportunity to place the stones engraved with the spell.

A few minutes later, he successfully hid the five pebbles, placing them at the maximum distance required by the Flying Thunder God technique. Even if one of them was found, there was another technique to replace it.

"Kid, I've been watching you for a while now. You're neither going into the competition area nor leaving. What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out, abruptly entering his ears.

Chen Xuan tensed up, his hair standing on end. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes with a deacon's badge on his chest walking towards him.

"We've been discovered?" He frowned slightly, his senses constantly extended, and he was certain that no one had noticed when he placed the stones.

Chen Xuan quickly calmed down and chose to trust his own perception. The person in front of him either had never entered the perception field before or was terrifyingly strong, thus evading the detection.

"And who are you, and why are you here?" he asked in return. Judging from the aura emanating from the other party, he was at most at the Soul Emperor realm, and could not possibly be some kind of super strong expert.

The middle-aged man was dressed in purple robes and wore the insignia of a Spirit Hall deacon on his chest, which was very similar to the so-called purple-robed deacon.

He snorted coldly and said, "As a deacon of the Spirit Hall, I am patrolling this area to eliminate suspicious individuals. I find you very suspicious now. Tell me, which academy are you from?"

"Shrek," Chen Xuan said calmly, knowing that composure was essential at a time like this.

Then, he took out a token from his pocket and tossed it to the other person to examine.

The man in purple was wary. He glanced at the token, then his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately adopted a different posture.

"My apologies, I didn't realize you were a candidate for the Martial Soul Team. I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

The middle-aged man, with a smile on his face and no longer hostile, handed the token to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded, put away the token, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

This token was given to him by Bibi Dong. A few days ago, she ignored him and included him in the list of candidates for the Spirit Team. After the finals, she made him a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and trained with Hu Liena and the other two.

He had initially thought the other party was trying to sow discord between him and Shrek Academy, but since they hadn't made any announcements until today, it seems he had worried unnecessarily.

"Please." The man in purple smiled.

Chen Xuan did not linger there, but quickly left, taking ten meters at a time, and in the blink of an eye, he was three thousand meters away.

Three thousand meters is his current limit; the Flying Thunder God Technique can only go this far.

With a slight thought, Chen Xuan saw a string of small characters appear in his palm. He went to a stone slab, pressed it down, and the black characters seemed to come alive, swimming to the back of the slab.

In this way, he only needs to activate his ability twice to teleport six thousand meters away, which would take even a Contra Douluo a while.

Next, Chen Xuan strolled around the city, taking walks and wandering, while also familiarizing himself with the geographical location.

The streets alternated, complex and chaotic, with pedestrians flowing like water, and white-clad attendants appearing from time to time. There were too many people in this place, making it somewhat crowded.

After strolling through the bustling city, Chen Xuan went to the outskirts of the city. The crowds had thinned out, the streets were quiet, and there were fewer shops, making it much more peaceful.

After most of the day, and with the additional exploration he had done in the previous days, he finally became familiar with the city and had a certain understanding of its terrain.

In the end, he got his wish and planned the shortest route, which would take him half an hour to reach the city wall by sprinting.

In addition, he planned another route, which was faster and not covered by city walls. It would take him through a forest to reach the outskirts of Wuhun City.

However, Chen Xuan did not choose that route; it was unsafe, as that area was guarded by soldiers, making it difficult to break through.

As the sun sets, the sky turns a deep crimson, painting the horizon like an oil painting, which appears somewhat desolate.

Before nightfall, Chen Xuan completed all the arrangements, placing twenty-five Flying Thunder God teleportation devices along the planned route, with a teleportation distance of up to 60,000 meters.

After that, he went to three blacksmith shops, paid the final payment, and put all the custom-made tools into his storage soul tool.

"Young master, your weapon has been forged." The blacksmith greeted him with a smile and beckoned to three servants to carry out the heavy spear from inside.

This spear is two meters long and weighs 180 kilograms. Its straight and elegant shaft is engraved with unique lapis lazuli patterns, gleaming with a metallic sheen. The spearhead is extremely sharp, flashing with a cold light, as sharp as an eagle's eye.

Chen Xuan grasped it firmly; its weight was just right, even without using his soul power.

Previously, he had entrusted the lapis lazuli spear to the people here for upgrades, adding many rare metals, as well as the hardest metal material on the continent, which was worth 300 gold soul coins per gram.

One hundred thousand gold soul coins, and in the end, not a single one was left.

Chen Xuan put away the lapis lazuli spear, turned and left, returning to his manor in the suburbs. After today, he would be penniless again.

Back at the hotel, he passed through the lobby and found Shrek, Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and others gathered together, discussing something.

Flander glanced at the door and said, "Chen Xuan, come here."

The Shrek members were taken aback, stopped their discussion, and all looked towards the door.

Chen Xuan did not resist and casually found a table to sit down.

The Shrek members continued their discussion, chattering and offering their opinions, devising strategies.

Today, they defeated the new Shenfeng Academy, but they also exposed all their trump cards. The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique was unveiled, and the soul power of all six members was transferred to Tang San. With a single move, the True Form of the Weapon Soul destroyed the entire Shenfeng Academy.

Therefore, the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique will be basically unusable in tomorrow's final match, and the Spirit Hall team will definitely take precautions.

Chen Xuan shook his head and laughed, saying that Yu Xiaogang had only himself to blame for putting Shrek Academy in a passive position.

If he were to devise the plan, he would go all out against Shin Kamikaze today, regardless of the cost, to secure victory. And in tomorrow's final, he would use the Fusion Technique to take the championship in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, reality cannot be changed, and most importantly, he no longer wants to participate.

After half an hour of discussion, the Shrek Seven Devils finally finalized their tactical plan. Including Tang San, all seven of them unanimously decided that Chen Xuan must be sent out.

Now that Dai Mubai is injured and unable to participate, the Netherworld White Tiger is ineffective, and the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique has also been used today, Shrek Academy has run out of trump cards.

If they deliberately keep Chen Xuan under wraps, it's tantamount to handing over the championship title.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was unusually silent, and did not object to the opinions of the others, as if he understood the importance of the matter.

"Brothers, it's truly shameful that I, as the eldest brother, can't fight alongside you. After the competition, I'll treat you to a meal at a luxury hotel!" Dai Mubai said generously.

Tang San patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and said, "Brother Dai, although you can't play, your heart is with us. Shrek Academy will always be a unit."

Dai Mubai sighed. He longed to fight alongside his brothers, but unfortunately, he no longer had the chance.

His gaze fell on Chen Xuan, and he said with emotion, "Brother, take my place tomorrow. Carry my spirit into the finals, and remember to thoroughly crush the Martial Soul Team's arrogance for me!"
