Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 247, Page 242: The Bandits

After Wang Mingxu and Wang Lanfang left Shrek Academy, Shrek's internal affairs suffered a great blow, especially for Yu Xiaogang himself.

Through today's conversation, it's clear that Wang Mingxu is incredibly powerful. At such a young age, he has already reached level 70, which is probably the fastest record for reaching Soul Saint in the Soul World, and there are currently two more like him.

If I were to lead the Shrek Academy team to participate in the Soul Master Competition, I would be certain to lose if I encountered these two individuals.

Another point is that Wang Mingxu completely surpasses me in terms of knowledge. Questions that I have pondered for countless years can be answered by him with ease. It gives me the feeling that I have spent countless efforts but achieved nothing.

The team he had painstakingly trained, and his son, had been so easily defeated. Was there really such a big difference in his training methods?

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang once again fell into deep self-doubt.

However, Wang Mingxu and Wang Lanfang had no interest in caring about such things; they were currently discussing what they had seen and heard at Shrek Academy.

Wang Lanfang asked with some curiosity, "Mingxu, what do you think of Shrek Academy?"

Wang Mingxu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Shrek's teaching can only be described as average, because their training methods for team members are still conservative. They use some old training methods, such as the use of simulated environments and the application of gravity pressurization environments. They don't have these at all."

"Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's problem is even more serious. His theoretical knowledge is obviously outdated, yet he still uses it to train students, which will likely cause the students to fall behind."

"However, there is one good thing: the martial souls of the people in their team just now were really good. They were basically all top-grade martial souls. It's just a pity that they entrusted their souls to the wrong people."

"Sis, what are your thoughts on Shrek Academy?"

Wang Lanfang thought for a moment and then spoke up: "I just feel that Shrek Academy is a bit lifeless overall. The school lacks flexibility and its internal management is very chaotic. The students' basic ideological education is very poor. I heard that their school motto is that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. I think if they continue like this, they will eventually produce a group of troublemakers."

"Sister, I plan to stay in Tiandou City for a few more days, and then go to Phoenix City, the capital of the Douluo Federation, to take a look."

Wang Lanfang thought for a moment before speaking: "Alright! I'll go with you. I want to see the largest city on the entire mainland."

Over the next few days, Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu visited various advanced soul master academies in Tiandou City, and also traveled to many famous places, including the former Tiandou Empire Imperial Palace, which has now been turned into a tourist attraction.

Five days later, the two left Tiandou City and prepared to head to Phoenix City.

This time, the two didn't rent a carriage again, but planned to walk. For Soul Saints, walking was no problem at all; if they wanted, they could even fly to Phoenix City quickly.

When the two had traveled about two hundred kilometers from Tiandou City, Wang Mingxu suddenly spoke up: "Sister, did you feel it?"

Wang Lanfang replied with disdain, "If you could feel it, how could I, as your older sister, not feel it?"

"Sister, you said they've been following us from Heaven Dou City for so long, what's their purpose? Is it for that soul bone you have?"

"Mingxu, how would I know? But it's most likely for the soul bone. I didn't expect there would be someone so fearless as to come looking for us."

Just as the two were talking, there seemed to be a fluctuation of soul power around them, and then seven soul masters appeared. Judging from their appearance, they were divided into two groups, one group of four people and the other group of three people.

The four-person Soul Master team includes one Soul Saint, one Soul Emperor, and two Soul Kings. The Soul Saint, in particular, appears to be around level 76.

The trio of Soul Masters includes one Soul Saint and two Soul Emperors.

Judging from the situation, the two sides are evenly matched and seem to know each other.

The seven people blocked Wang Mingxu and Wang Lanfang's forward and backward directions respectively, forming a pincer movement among all the members, seemingly all wanting to gain an advantage.

The leader of the group of four was a very tall Soul Master, over two meters tall, who should be a Strength-type Battle Soul Master.

The leader of the trio was a relatively thin Soul Master, but his Soul Power was by no means weak; he was an Agility-type Soul Master.

The leader of the four-man group spoke first: "Little Black Hawk, we got this job first, how about we let him have it?"

The leader of the trio, Black Eagle Soul Saint, immediately retorted, "Big Black Bear, what's this about first come, first served? Isn't it all about skill?"

The Black Bear Soul Saint seemed to have something to rely on: "Indeed, we must rely on our own abilities. Why don't we have a match first, and then catch these two fat sheep? I seem to have forgotten that you lost to me last time."

Black Hawk Soul Saint was not to be outdone: "Things are different now. We have two Soul Emperors, which is stronger than your lineup."

……

The two sides seemed to be locked in a stalemate, with one side intending to fight the other first, and the other side planning to plunder the treasures from Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu.

Wang Lanfang, with her fiery temper, couldn't help but speak up: "What do you two mean? Are you trying to rob me? I remember that robbery is strictly prohibited by the laws of the Douluo Federation, and violators will be executed or exiled to the Killing Capital."

Black Bear Soul Saint seemed to smile: "Little beauty, the laws of the Douluo Federation are indeed very strict, but we are now two hundred kilometers away from Tianzou City. Even if we fight to the death here, the titled Douluo in the city won't notice. As long as we do it cleanly, we will be completely undetected."

"You big black bear, are you really going to take us both by heart? Aren't you afraid of kicking a hornet's nest?"

The Black Bear Soul Saint seemed a little smug: "Little beauty, if I'm not mistaken, you two siblings are only 20 years old, and you actually took out 350 million gold soul coins to buy a soul bone so easily. I guess you two have quite a background."

"But even if you have a powerful background, what strength can you possibly have at such a young age? Besides, you should have a lot of gold soul coins on you. It's true that fortunes change, and it's finally my turn to get rich."

Wang Lanfang ignored the black bear and turned to the Black Eagle Soul Saint beside her, saying, "Do you share the same thoughts as this big black bear? Do you want to kill and rob us, my brother and me?"

Black Hawk Soul Saint's face seemed a little gloomy: "Little beauty, I advise you to surrender obediently, and I can give you a quick death. Otherwise, you may wish you were dead."

After hearing this, Wang Lanfang seemed to understand the intentions of both sides and asked Wang Mingxu beside her, "Mingxu, what do you think we should do?"

Wang Mingxu remained calm: "Just two gangs of bandits. They've probably been watching us since the beginning of Tiandou City. Why don't we capture them, take them back to Tiandou City, and hand them over to the government? Let's see how the Tiandou City authorities handle it."

Wang Lanfang nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea. I'd also like to see the government's attitude—whether they'll implement it as their laws would."

"Sis, there are two groups of them now. How about we each take one group?"

"No, you can't divide them like that. You've already fought one battle in Heaven Dou City. Just leave both groups to me."

Wang Mingxu was speechless; his sister still loved fighting so much.
