Douluo: Peerless Righteous Douluo

Chapter 122: Duke White Tiger, Messenger of Death

Beibei took out the things in the ring one by one and placed them on the ground so that everyone in the preliminary team could get familiar with them and identify them.

Soon, the circle formed by the crowd was full.

The seven members of the qualifying team looked at it with even more complicated expressions. Even the regular team members already knew about it and had even used it for a while, but they still had complicated expressions when they saw the equipment scattered all over the floor.

In a word, it’s a good time.

According to statistics, now that these basic equipment are in use, the death rate of the Inner Court Academy has dropped by more than 90%, and the first-time completion rate of tasks has reached an astonishing 100%.

In two years, only one student died. This was almost unimaginable in the previous inner courtyard. Every year before, there would be three or four students who died. These were just deaths, and there were many more who were injured or disabled. The first-time mission completion rate was 80%, which was the limit. There would always be times when the mission failed due to the death of students. In this regard, Shrek could only send stronger people to carry out the mission.

With only one death, a 100% first-time completion rate is absolutely incredible.

Moreover, according to insiders, the man's death was not due to the poor life-saving effect of the soul guide, but because he was too reckless. He relied on his equipment and rushed forward in the face of siege.

Then, he was gone.

As for why the mission was completed 100% the first time, it was because this man chose to die together with the enemy when he was dying, and made his own valuable contribution to the record of 100% completion rate for the inner courtyard mission.

This man used his own life to tell all the inner school students that no matter how good the security is, they must be cautious and careful when performing tasks and not be reckless. He used his own lessons to sound a wake-up call for all the inner school students.

From then on, this gentleman was respectfully called Brother Lang by all the inner courtyard students. Lang referred to his behavior and cause of death, and Brother was a sign of respect.

After that, the overall quality of the inner courtyard students rose again.

Now, Dai Yuheng stepped forward to introduce the equipment in this area to the reserve team.

"First, it's the standard equipment that the Supervisory Corps once had: clothes, mask, cloak, inner armor, and three signal flares."

"It's best not to reveal your true face when carrying out a mission. The most important thing is this flare. Once it's launched, all the Shrek Academy members nearby will rush to the rescue."

Xu Sanshi asked curiously, "Senior, we at Shrek Academy have always had a small population, and we don't know where we're going to be when we're on our missions. How is it possible that someone from the academy is nearby?"

Dai Yuheng smiled softly, his tone filled with the pride of Shrek Academy. "Who told you it must be a student? I just said it's all Shrek members. The academy does have some subordinate forces that are responsible for some of the academy's business."

"But the most important thing is the graduates. Shrek's legacy spans thousands of years, and countless powerful students have emerged. These people form a huge network of relationships, and most of them have a favorable impression of the academy. When they see a member of the academy in distress, most of them will not stand idly by. This Shrek flare can play a much greater role than you imagine."

All the reserve team members were secretly astonished. The ten thousand year old Shrek was indeed unfathomable in its foundation.

Dai Yueheng's previous words were a bit profound, but among all the Shrek students present, most of them were direct descendants of the academy, or were being trained as direct descendants, and almost all of them would stay in Shrek Academy.

If you think about it carefully, Dai Yueheng is actually the one who is the farthest away from the academy. After all, the eldest son of the Duke of White Tiger will definitely return to the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion to join the army, or even take over the position of the Duke of White Tiger.

But considering the connection between White Tiger and Shrek, it does make sense.

"Okay, let's continue watching."

Dai Yuheng spoke, bringing everyone's attention back.

"Next, there's the three-piece set we jokingly call the Life-Saving Set. It consists of a Level 4 defensive soul guide, a Level 5 invincible shield, and a trigger-type Level 5 defensive soul guide. Because your cultivation isn't high enough, this is the minimum you'll get. Once your cultivation improves, you can go to the academy and get a more advanced defensive soul guide."

He Caitou and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, secretly horrified. Putting aside other things, that level five invincible shield alone was worth six figures.

Dai Yuheng continued, "And here are three level six fixed-type soul guide shells, also for use in times of danger. However, this academy only provides these three for free. If you want more, you can only exchange them for points earned after completing missions, or you can buy them yourself. No one will stop you, but they are very expensive."

"And this is a level seven soul guide shell. What does it do..." Dai Yuheng glanced at the reserve team member's face, which was filled with shock and curiosity, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"To perish together with the enemy."

"..."

Beibei and the others were silent. Is this the inner courtyard?

"Similarly, because your current cultivation is too low, once your strength reaches above Soul King and you complete certain tasks, the academy will provide you with an eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell for free."

Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou again, with undisguised horror in his eyes. As previously said, every student in the inner courtyard would receive a set, and it was free.

Shrek's heritage is not only reflected in its connections, but also in its resources.

Even though I have introduced the main points, there are still a bunch of small things on the ground whose functions are still uncertain.

Dai Yueheng said in a relaxed tone, "These are compressed dry food and pure water beads that may not be used in a certain period of time. They are used in some special situations. However... they don't taste very good."

"There are also small props like strings, flying claws, shovels, knives, etc..."

There are all kinds of things, almost everything has been taken into consideration, and anyone can feel the importance the academy attaches to the inner courtyard students.

"Finally..." Dai Yaoheng picked up two small bottles from the pile on the ground. "This white jade bottle contains a slow-acting poison called 'Half-Day Life'. After a soul master below the Soul Saint level takes it, he will die within seven hours, which means he will only have half a day left to live. It's used..."

Dai Yuheng tilted his head to glance at Lin Yi, his tone a little strange, "Torture!"

Beibei and the others' expressions changed slightly. How come this method doesn't sound like that of a good person?

"It's not without restrictions," Ma Xiaotao continued. "If you use this 'Half-Day Life,' you must preserve the remains of the person who took it and bring them back to the academy as evidence of proper use. You must also provide a detailed explanation of the motivation, circumstances, and identity of the person who took it. Abuse will result in severe punishment from the academy."

"Also, the academy regularly checks students' use of the 'Half-Day Life'. If anyone uses it privately or abuses it, they will be punished by having their spirit abolished or even killed, depending on the circumstances. So, please make sure to keep it safe."

"Don't even think about getting 'Half-Day Life' from somewhere else. This is the academy's secret recipe. Only the academy has it. There's absolutely no other way to get it except through the academy."

Beibei and others nodded quickly.

But Huo Yuhao looked at the other black jade bottle in Dai Yueheng's hand and asked curiously, "What's in this black jade bottle? Is it the antidote to Half-Day Life?"

Dai Yuheng didn't say anything. All the inner court students, including Master Song, had complicated expressions.

Finally, Lin Yi spoke up: "No, there is no antidote for 'Half-Day Life'. What's inside is another kind of poison, but it's not for the enemy to eat, but for yourself to eat."

Beibei and the others' expressions suddenly changed. What? Are you still afraid that you won't tell the truth? Are you being too harsh on yourself?!

Lin Yi said indifferently, "This poison is called 'Feed the Devil with Your Body'. If you encounter an evil spirit master but are unable to defeat him, and your current situation does not allow you to activate the fixed-type spirit guide cannonballs to destroy him together with him, you can take this poison."

"After taking this poison, if the evil spirit master attempts to obtain anything from you, whether it's your soul, your qi and blood, or even various negative emotions, the poison will enter the evil spirit master's body and kill him."

Lin Yi's voice was very calm, but anyone could hear a hint of blood in it.

"As Shrek students, even if we die, we will not let the evil spirit master take advantage of us and provide him with food!"

At this moment, Beibei and the others had a better understanding of the Supervisory Group...

As if sensing the solemn atmosphere within the team, Mr. Song began to introduce to everyone the tasks that the selected members would be performing next.

In the Mingdou Mountains at the border of the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire, there was a group of bandits, led by a powerful evil soul master who called himself the Messenger of Death.

Because of their powerful strength and cunning character, they repeatedly escaped capture with the help of complex terrain, and they were located in the border area between the two countries, making it difficult to complete the elimination across the border. Under comprehensive circumstances, it was decided to ask Shrek Academy to send elite students to complete the elimination.

After hearing about the mission, Lin Yi's first reaction was that this person had a big name. To be assigned to their group to complete the task, Lin Yi believed that he would not be an evil soul master above the seventh ring. In fact, according to the academy's high regard for him, they were afraid that he would make some mistakes, so the possibility of him being a sixth ring evil soul master was not high.

In other words, a five-ringed Soul King who calls himself the messenger of death is either ignorant of his own limitations or truly extraordinary.

Considering that both the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire have failed to complete the annihilation, Lin Yi is inclined to the latter. This time, the danger is definitely not small.

Old Song also mentioned that the Xingluo Empire would provide them with certain assistance, that is, the garrison in front of the Mingdou Mountains would provide detailed intelligence and maps.

Dai Yuheng's eyes lit up immediately. Lin Yi smiled and said, "Senior Dai, as the host, you must treat us well this time."

Dai Yuheng laughed and patted his chest in agreement.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Lin Yi explained, "The Xingluo Empire's garrison in front of the Mingdou Mountains is led by none other than Dai Hao, the current Duke of Baihu and the father of Senior Dai."

Upon hearing the name, Huo Yuhao's body trembled violently. Wang Dong, who was standing beside him, noticed this keenly and calmly blocked Huo Yuhao behind him, preventing others from noticing the complex emotions contained in Huo Yuhao's downcast eyes.

But all of these were exposed in Lin Yi's golden perception, and his guesses became more and more certain.

Then, everyone prepared to hurry on their journey.

Chapter 123: Ice Emperor's Shock, Compensation

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and others took out their respective flying soul guides. It can only be said that the Shrek Soul Guide Department has been quite successful in promoting soul guides in recent years. Even the most pure inner court students no longer resist soul guides.

Some students even choose to take the initiative to carry out the inspection team's tasks in exchange for soul guides, just to have enough points to exchange for high-powered soul guides.

Wang Yan then took out several more flying soul guides from the storage soul guides and replaced them with Xu Sanshi and others.

Beibei does have one. As Lin Yi's good brother, he was arranged to join the group early on. He and Caitou are also not needed. He has an eighth-level soul engineer as his teacher, and he can even make his own flying soul guide. He also has his own flying soul guide.

As for the others, they were a little worse. Although Huo Yuhao was also learning from an eighth-level soul engineer, his soul power was weak, so he couldn't touch a flying soul guide for the time being.

Under the guidance of Wang Yanhe and Cai Tou, the other six members of the reserve team successfully put on the flying soul guides. It is actually not too difficult to control the flying soul guides to simply achieve flight. All they need to do is overcome the fear of flying and maintain balance.

They were all geniuses. Not only were they smart, but their learning ability was also quite good. With the soul guide knowledge they had learned previously as a foundation, it didn't take long for the seven members of the reserve team to learn well and achieve stable flight.

Wang Yan also carried a flying soul guide on his back and flew behind the reserve team. His eyes behind the glasses were fixed on the reserve team, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

Old Song's cultivation level naturally does not require any flying soul guide. As the number one agility attack soul master in Shrek, or even the number one in the entire continent, if Old Song really increases his speed to the extreme, any flying soul guide today will be far behind.

They can fly 500 miles in one hour, but the limit for those in the outer courtyard is one hour. They can only land on the ground every hour, and Lin Yi helps them recover their soul power. Although the soul power of the regulars can support it, it is undoubtedly more appropriate for them to stay in their prime all the time.

They kept stopping and starting like this, and before they knew it, it was already noon. They landed to rest. It was true that flying felt great, but after the novelty wore off, all that was left was boredom.

After a morning of flying, everyone was not only exhausted physically and mentally, but also listless.

After finding a clean place, Lin Yi tossed a storage ring to Huo Yuhao. "Last time, Beibei and I had a duel. How about we have a duel this time?"

Huo Yuhao took the ring, scanned it with his mental power, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, but he looked at Lin Yi and nodded, "Okay."

"The bet is still the same."

Compared to last time, Huo Yuhao has grown a lot now. He gradually realized the weight of that sentence. He nodded solemnly and had already decided in his heart to use all his strength.

The others looked at the two men playing dumb, but Beibei's face changed and he couldn't help muttering to himself, "These two are gambling big."

Xu Sanshi came over and asked, "Beibei, what are these two talking about?"

Beibei glanced at him and said, "You'll know soon. Now you should go and show your courtesy to Jiang Nannan."

Despite being ridiculed like this, Xu Sanshi seemed not to notice it. Instead, he seemed to be reminded of something and happily went to find Jiang Nannan, turning into a dog-skin plaster.

Here, Lin Yi and Huo Yuhao have already started their busy work.

The storage rings in the hands of the two people flashed at the same time, and a large table full of kitchen utensils and ingredients appeared in front of them.

The people around them then realized that the so-called competition was actually a cooking competition.

This is good! Looks like I’m in for a treat today.

The regular team members headed by Ma Xiaotao and the reserve team members headed by Bei Bei immediately sat together in a row to watch the birth of the feast...

Old Song had appeared at some point, looking at the scene kindly, while Wang Yan stood respectfully aside.

Over there, Lin Yi and Huo Yuhao were busy all the time. To win, Huo Yuhao naturally chose the grilled fish that he was best at, and paired it with a few other grilled dishes and a pot of mushroom and fish soup, which was considered the menu ready.

Lin Yi started with a spicy kick as usual. The overbearing and rich spicy taste spread out, stimulating everyone's taste buds and making them salivate unconsciously. Everyone just felt that their stomachs were empty and needed a lot of delicious food to fill them up.

The hungry crowd didn't have to wait too long. In less than two quarters of an hour, Lin Yi and Huo Yuhao finished cooking.

The menus drawn up by Lin Yi and Huo Yuhao were surprisingly similar, both being a combination of grilled fish and barbecue. The difference was that Lin Yi did not make soup, but instead took out a dozen bottles of beer, flicked his palm, and a few snowflakes flew, chilling the beer in a moment.

In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Ice Emperor suddenly woke up, "This is it!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was awakened by the Ice Emperor, "Bingbing, what's wrong?"

The Ice Emperor ignored it and just used Huo Yuhao's senses to sense the external breath, but the previous breath disappeared in a flash.

The beautiful green scorpion crouched down again, its expression slightly downcast. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched from the side, a hint of worry in its small eyes, but it didn't dare to ask.

Outside, Lin Yi and Huo Yuhao put the food together and respectfully asked Old Lady Song to eat first. Old Lady Song knew that if she got too close, it would spoil the fun of these little guys. The thick layer of chili on the food cooked by Lin Yi made the old lady shake her head. In the end, she chose a grilled fish from Huo Yuhao, took some barbecue, and finally filled a bowl of fish soup. Then she went aside and disappeared.

Wang Yan obviously did not have much authority in front of this group of people. Even Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were more familiar with this head teacher than in awe of him because of Wang Yan's gentle teaching style.

As Old Song left, the rest of the people rushed forward. There were about ten of them, all young people, who were at the age when they could eat. Moreover, they still had soul power, so they had a big appetite.

Seeing the food on the table being quickly devoured, everyone's mouths were full and no one had the energy to judge the outcome between Lin Yi and Huo Yuhao.

Helplessly, the two chefs could only grab some food each and eat slowly. Seeing that the girl didn't drink beer, Lin Yi took out some drinks, also chilled, and handed them to the girl. After all, the spicy flavors and various barbecues he made were best paired with chilled drinks.

Because of this action, Lin Yi gained a lot of points in the eyes of girls.

The Ice Emperor in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness happened to see Lin Yi's sudden action, and also noticed the snowflake in Lin Yi's hand and felt the breath in it.

"This is... the breath of the Snow Emperor!"

"Bingbing, who are you talking about? Snow Queen?"

"That's right, I can't be wrong, this is the breath of the Snow Queen!"

Seeing the Ice Emperor suddenly become agitated, Tianmeng Bingcan quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Bingbing, don't worry. With the Snow Emperor's cultivation level, this kid is not someone he can handle. There must be some hidden secrets. Let's talk to Yuhao and see how we can find out from Lin Yi why he has the Snow Emperor's aura."

Bingdi was silent for a moment, but still nodded.

Outside, everyone was full and satisfied, feeling touched. Lin Yi's food still had polarized reactions, with some loving it and others hating it and finding it unbearable. However, Huo Yuhao's food received unanimous praise from the audience.

In the end, Lin Yi won the final victory, scoring big points in iced beer and drinks, while Huo Yuhao lost in service awareness.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat unwilling, but he was still willing to accept defeat.
