Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Chapter 271 Confident Moon

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Pavilion.

Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, was pacing back and forth beside Mu En, looking anxious.

At the same time, the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the spacious Sea God Pavilion.

Qian Duoduo was very worried about the safety of the exchange students.

After all, Shrek Academy's exchange students are mostly geniuses from the academy. If something were to happen to them on their way back, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the academy's Soul Guidance Department.

For this exchange student activity, the Inner Academy's Soul Guidance Department sent a total of eight outstanding students.

This is actually quite rare, since the Soul Guidance Department has always been weaker than the Martial Soul Department in Shrek Academy. Therefore, these eight outstanding students can be said to have been carefully selected by Qian Duoduo.

These students have learned advanced soul tool concepts at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. As long as these students return to the academy, they can bring changes to the academy's soul tool department, making it even better than before.

But if something happens to these people, then Shrek Academy will have gained nothing from the so-called exchange student program. After all, Fan Yu and He Caitou have been expelled, and the hope of the Soul Guidance Department rests on these eight inner court Soul Guidance Department students.

As for Beibei, to be honest, Qian Duoduo didn't have any hope. After all, Beibei wasn't even a Soul Master before participating in the exchange program. Even if Beibei could become a Soul Master at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, her level probably wouldn't be very high.

Sitting in her wheelchair, Mu En slowly opened her eyes, looked at the anxious Qian Duoduo, and said, "Duoduo, I know you are very worried about the safety of the exchange students, but you don't need to worry about this at all, because Xuanzi and Shaozhe have already set off to pick up the exchange students."

Qian Duoduo's face lit up with joy: "You sent Elder Xuan along too?"

Elder Xuan is a level 98 Super Douluo. There are not many people on this continent who can surpass Elder Xuan in terms of personal strength. Elder Mu in front of us is one of them. However, Elder Mu cannot easily make a move due to his physical condition, otherwise he will hasten his death.

Therefore, in Qian Duoduo's opinion, Elder Xuan is definitely one of the top human soul masters in the current community.

“I didn’t send him; he volunteered.” Mu En said with some helplessness. “According to him, he felt that the students’ safety was very important, so he had to go out with Shao Zhe to ensure the students’ safety.”

Qian Duoduo sighed, "It seems that Elder Xuan has a deep impression of the mistakes he made in the past, which is why he is so concerned about the safety of the students."

“That’s right, Duoduo, that’s what I think too. In fact, as long as Xuanzi realizes he’s wrong and is willing to make changes, Shrek Academy will definitely thrive.”

A confident smile appeared on Mu En's aged face. "Don't worry, with Xuanzi, Shaozhe, and Lin'er protecting them, the students will definitely be able to return to the academy safely. They've studied soul tool technology for so long; hopefully, they can improve the academy's soul tool environment."

The Lin'er he mentioned refers to Xian Lin'er. To ensure the safety of the students, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, naturally had to go along as well.

However, according to the original plan, Xianlin'er should have remained hidden in the shadows. If an enemy attacked, Xianlin'er would immediately come out as support to help, thus ensuring the safety of the students.

.......

Xuanzi, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the clear blue sky, his anxiety growing.

This is the only route the Sun and Moon exchange student teams must take back to the Sun and Moon Empire.

He's staying here to ambush the Sun and Moon exchange student team later.

To be honest, he was not afraid of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall.

After all, although Jing Hongchen is a level nine Soul Master, in terms of one-on-one combat strength, he is no match for Xuanzi, a level ninety-eight Super Douluo. At the Title Douluo stage, each level up is a huge improvement, and this is especially true as you progress.

"Killing Jing Hongchen should be quite difficult. After all, a level nine soul master like him must have a set of defensive soul tools, or even an invincible shield. With his strength, he can definitely use the highest level of invincible shield."

If I target Jing Hongchen, I'm likely to get bogged down, and I'll have to retreat as soon as reinforcements arrive. After all, to avoid revealing my identity, I must try my best not to go all out.

Killing those Sun-Moon Exchangers would be much easier, since the more powerful the soul tool, the more powerful the soul master needed to control it.

Thinking of this, Xuanzi directly possessed his martial spirit, and his figure immediately became much larger, and his breathing became a little rapid. He could feel the immense power within his body.

Moreover, his black robe was stretched out considerably, but it was not torn and still seemed to fit him quite well.

This thing is an eighth-level soul tool. Its main function is to conceal one's figure and suppress one's aura. That's why it was designed to be so sturdy. Since Shrek Academy only has eighth-level soul tool masters, this can be considered one of Shrek Academy's greatest achievements in soul tools.

At that moment, a black dot appeared on the horizon, and as time went by, the black dot grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a group of people being led along by Jing Hongchen.

Seeing this, Xuanzi realized that the other party would be passing through this place soon, so he had to be prepared to attack the Sun and Moon team.

He took a deep breath and took out two small black flags. These were called Holy Spirit Flags, and they were level seven soul tools.

These were spoils of war he had seized during his previous campaign against the evil soul masters of Douluo Three Kingdoms. The small flag was filled with a large number of vengeful spirits of soul beasts. He only needed to manipulate the Holy Spirit Flag to control the vengeful spirits within it.

However, this thing must be used by those who are skilled in manipulating souls. In order to lower the barrier to entry, Xuanzi specially found several level-eight soul masters to modify the Holy Spirit Flag.

If Xuanzi wants to impersonate an evil soul master, he must possess certain characteristics, such as an evil martial soul. However, unless Xuanzi is willing to degenerate into an evil soul master, he simply cannot acquire an evil martial soul.

Therefore, he could only impersonate an evil spirit master by manipulating vengeful spirits.

Xuanzi gripped the Holy Spirit Flag tightly, and could even faintly hear the painful howls of the vengeful spirits of the soul beasts within it. However, he didn't feel any psychological burden, after all, these vengeful spirits were not human in their previous lives, but merely soul beasts.

If it were a human vengeful spirit, he would naturally choose to release it. But Xuanzi didn't have as much sympathy for vengeful spirits of soul beasts. After all, human soul masters and soul beasts were inherently incompatible.

Even though there have been some people in history who have been with soul beasts, Xuanzi has no sympathy for soul beasts whatsoever.

......

"Stop for a moment." Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin descended from the sky and blocked Jing Hongchen and the others.

Jing Hongchen asked with some confusion, "Ye Yulin, why are you stopping us? Did you discover something wrong nearby?"

Chapter 272 Xuanzi's Strategic Retreat

“That’s right.” Ye Yulin nodded vigorously, her expression becoming increasingly serious. “Just now, when I was surveying from high above, I noticed a suspicious figure on that mountain peak not far away. I have every reason to suspect that this person has ulterior motives.”

After his martial soul awakened for the second time, his eyesight improved dramatically. He could see things very far away clearly, and with the help of some soul-guided telescopes, he could naturally see even farther.

Ye Yulin was particularly concerned about escorting the Sun Moon exchange students, since these students were all geniuses of Sun Moon, and once they grew up, they could increase the number of strong people in the Sun Moon Empire.

This is undoubtedly an extremely beneficial thing for the future development of the Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, who knows if among these geniuses there might be a student who satisfies him?

If a student truly appears who satisfies him, he can take him on as a disciple and pass on all his knowledge to him. This way, he can not only cultivate geniuses for the empire, but also ensure that his legacy is passed down from generation to generation.

As Jing Hongchen listened to Ye Yulin's words, he subconsciously clenched his fist: "This place is the only way we can return to the Sun Moon Empire from Maple Leaf City. It would be reasonable if someone were lying in ambush here."

If it were me, I would also lie in wait here beforehand.

However, to which faction does this person belong? There are actually quite a few forces that harbor ill will towards our Sun Moon Empire. We don't know who sent him.

Jing Hongchen became more and more confused. Then he looked at Ye Yulin in front of him and said, "Ye Yulin, you and the two elders should prepare yourselves and have the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps get ready. We must do our best to capture this person."

If we absolutely cannot take it, we must protect the students' safety and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

He was indeed somewhat afraid that the other party was a Limit Douluo from a hidden sect, after all, he had heard that some powerful figures from hidden sects had very strange tempers.

Moreover, the Limit Douluo's strength is too great.

In the Douluo Continent, there are actually not many powerful Soul Masters at the Limit Douluo level.

The conditions for becoming a Limit Douluo are too demanding, and very few people can reach this level. Since its founding, the Sun Moon Empire has never had a Limit Douluo.

The Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire are merely cooperating, so the Holy Spirit Cult's Limit Douluo naturally does not belong to the Sun Moon Empire.

If the opponent really is a Limit Douluo, it means that our group will be put on the defensive.

After all, Limit Douluo is not only strong, but also very agile, making it difficult for even high-level soul-guided cannons to hit him.

Ye Yulin nodded, his expression still somewhat grim: "Don't worry, the two elders and the Evil Lord Soul Master Group are still waiting for me high in the sky. Please stay away from them to avoid being accidentally injured."

“Okay.” Jing Hongchen didn’t waste any time. He led the students back a considerable distance to ensure their safety.

Ye Yulin then had a brief conversation with the two elders and the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

Then he led the worshippers and the members of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps to surround the mountain peak. His idea was simple: to strike first.

At this moment, Xuanzi realized the problem, because he saw that Xiao Hongchen and his group had chosen to retreat as a group. Logically speaking, at this critical moment, they should have chosen to return to the Sun Moon Empire as soon as possible.

But what is the purpose of retreating?

It was as if there were some raging flood or ferocious beast ahead.

Xuanzi was puzzled, wondering if his attack plan had been discovered? Was that why the other side chose to retreat?

No, impossible. I only shared this with Yan Shaozhe, but would Yan Shaozhe betray me? The answer is no. After all, Yan Shaozhe is Elder Mu's student and one of the people Xuanzi trusts most in the world.

Suddenly, Xuanzi saw a golden and silver light and his heart tightened immediately: "Oh no, I've been discovered. This is the Sun and Moon Divine Needle. This type of soul tool was invented by Ye Yulin, so there is a high probability that Ye Yulin is present."

He had no intention of confronting the Sun and Moon Divine Needle head-on, so he activated the flying soul tool on his back and flew out of the mountain range.

A moment later, with a deafening roar, a burst of golden and silver light exploded, shearing off half of the entire mountain. Dust billowed up, and rubble was carried into the sky by the force of the explosion before falling back to the ground.

Xuanzi, relying on his speed, successfully flew out of the attack range of the Sun and Moon Divine Needles.

Before he could even catch his breath, a male voice came from the horizon: "There aren't many people with such skill. Who exactly are you?"

Ye Yulin, along with two elders and the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, surrounded Xuanzi, their eyes filled with doubt.

Xuanzi looked at these people and his heart sank. He felt that his plan to hunt down the geniuses of the Sun and Moon had failed.

After all, he couldn't use his full strength without revealing his true identity.

This means that he simply has no way to fight these people.

So, Xuanzi took the two Holy Spirit Flags and started waving them. A large number of vengeful spirits of soul beasts appeared, and the air suddenly became cold and gloomy.

The vengeful spirits roared and charged towards Ye Yulin and her group.

In Xuanzi's view, the Holy Spirit Flag is just a tool. The key is who uses it. If a true evil spirit master uses it, it will inevitably cause adverse consequences.

After all, most evil spirit masters are people with wicked intentions.

But I am different. I am a true Shrek, and my use of this vengeful spirit is essentially for the peace of Douluo Continent.

"An evil soul master?" Ye Yulin was somewhat surprised, and his expression grew increasingly grim. "Since you are an evil soul master, then you cannot be spared. After all, evil soul masters are extremely cruel, and everyone has the right to kill them."

He suspected this might be a conspiracy by the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Attack together." Ye Yulin led everyone in a coordinated attack, and the light from soul skills and soul tools flickered intensely.

The vengeful spirits were quickly annihilated, and Ye Yulin and the others began to fight Xuanzi.

After some time, Xuanzi was forced to reveal his identity and used all his strength to successfully break through the encirclement.

He had no intention of continuing the fight, because he was now worried about the safety of the Shrek exchange students. The Sun and Moon people were too cunning, and they might have already arranged for people to attack the Shrek exchange students.

This was not the outcome he had anticipated, but if he didn't use his full strength, he felt he might die here.

The firepower of these Sun Moon Soul Masters is simply too fierce.

.......

Beibei raised her head and looked at the sky.
