Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 313 Waiting for the Rabbit to Fall into the Trap, Shrek Academy Arrives, and the Valkyrie Lin'er
"I forgot about her. I should have known better than to rush things..."

He returned excitedly to report urgent intelligence, only to be beaten to it by Ning Tian, ​​the defector he had personally taken in. It would be a lie to say that Xu Tianxi's inner emotions were not complicated.

These days, how come traitors surrender so quickly? They even stole half of his job.

But soon, he rallied his spirits, changed into a black felt hat and mysteriously appeared before Jing Hongchen.

"Dean, she's right. Shrek Academy does indeed have ill intentions towards us. We must be extremely cautious, take precautions, and strive to annihilate any invading enemy!"

Upon seeing someone approaching, Jing Hongchen was clearly confused by Xu Tianxi's attire. Only after hearing the voice did he realize that this was Xu Tianxi, the pride of his Royal Academy.

So he grinned and asked with a chuckle, "So, what suggestions do you have?"

"The first suggestion is, of course, to keep a close eye on the other side's movements and figure out what's going on there. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle." Intelligence is the most important element, and Xu Tianxi insisted on doing a good job in intelligence work without hesitation.

Ning Tian immediately raised his hand: "This matter can be left to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I will definitely not let you two down. What do you say?"

Doing business requires a deposit, and joining a new force requires a pledge of loyalty. Ning Tian felt this was a golden opportunity, so he decisively betrayed Shrek Academy to secure a bright future for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Xu Tianxi glanced at Ning Tian and Xu Jiujiu, who had been hiding beforehand, out of the corner of his eye, coughed twice, and said, "That would be best. I hope the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly has the sincerity to cooperate with us."

Just to be on the safe side, he wouldn't let the wavering Ning Tian know about the special relationship between Xu Jiujiu and the Star Luo Empire and himself; he still had the awareness to take care of his allies.

Forget about Jing Hongchen, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School clearly doesn't seem very reliable. He'll keep this trump card. By comparing the intelligence from both sides, it will be clear whether Ning Tian has any problems.

If there are no problems, it means that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed determined to follow them, and they can lower their guard in the future.

Jing Hongchen was satisfied with Xu Tianxi's attitude and then asked, "What do you need us to do here?"

Xu Tianxi didn't answer, but turned to look at Ning Tian.

Ning Tian understood, covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, saying sleepily, "Principal, Duke, you two talk first, I'll go back and catch up on some sleep."

After saying that, she walked away with graceful steps, without ever looking back.

"After this, I don't believe you'll still be wary of me," she thought to herself.

Suddenly, she felt as if someone was watching her from the shadows. She quickly shifted her gaze, but found nothing.

"Am I overthinking this?" Ning Tian thought to himself, puzzled, having gained nothing. He wasn't worried about encountering any danger here and walked back to his villa in the guesthouse.

Seeing Ning Tian leave, Jing Hongchen's usually placid face broke into a slight smile: "You had someone monitor her? You're quite vigilant."

"It's always best to be cautious and vigilant. I can't accept that intelligence might be leaked here too."

Xu Tianxi said in a serious voice, "Dean, Shrek Academy's sudden attack must have a purpose. Although we don't know the target yet, it must be within our academy."

"In that case, I think we can use the entire academy as bait to dig a big pit for Shrek and his friends."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's eyes gleamed with interest as he said, "What do you want to do? Just tell me."

"Simple. Expand our renovation scope to the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, bury all kinds of triggerable soul tools and fixed soul-guided cannons inside the academy, and use this academy, which is comparable in size to a medium-sized city, to annihilate those wolves with wolfish ambitions!"

Xu Tianxi suddenly raised his head, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, like an eagle eyeing a wolf, his aura aggressive and intimidating.

Jing Hongchen was startled by this idea, "Using the entire academy to be buried with those guys? Isn't that a bit too much..."

"Dean, you're wrong. It's not about sacrificing the academy for those guys, it's about making them sacrifice the academy!"

"It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the thief's eye on it. Rather than waiting for those bastards to come and destroy it, we should move the precious bottles and jars away in advance and turn this empty shell into a trap!"

Xu Tianxi said with a bright look in his eyes, "On the way back, I thought of many ways to strengthen our defenses, and I found that as long as we set our goal on defending against enemy attacks, no matter how well we do, we are just passively responding to attacks."

"In that case, why don't we change our strategy and turn defense into offense? Let's set a trap here and fight a decisive battle to annihilate them!"

Xu Tianxi opened his arms and then suddenly clenched his fists, then the two fists collided, and a large amount of air exploded when they collided.

"To be honest, we don't know how many experts Shrek will bring to cause trouble this time, nor can we protect every corner. So why don't we take the initiative to move away valuable venues, machinery, trainees and researchers, shed our burdens, and go all out?"

Jing Hongchen squinted and stared blankly for a few seconds, then smiled wryly and nodded, saying, "Alright, alright, I have to admit that you young people have more courage than us. You've successfully convinced me."

Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and took the opportunity to continue, "I need you to come with me to find Elder Kong and ask him to bring out the prototype of the high-energy soul tool that is still in the experimental stage, to isolate the aftershocks of the battle and prevent them from affecting the civilians of Mingdu outside the academy."

The high-energy soul guide device was one of the trump cards of the Sun Moon Empire in this era. It blocked the self-destruction of the poison-ineffective person and was also transferred to the palace to resist the power of ten level-nine fixed soul guide cannon shells and to surround and kill Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

This technology is still in the research stage and is not yet mature, but it is still a semi-finished product. Xu Tianxi is determined to use level 8 or higher fixed-mount soul-guided shells when necessary. He has no choice but to use them.

Jing Hongchen agreed to Xu Tianxi's request after a moment's thought, "Alright! I'll go with you to see Elder Kong."

But then he raised another question: "Tianxi, the total number of Title Douluo-level powerhouses in the original three kingdoms is still greater than ours. We can't possibly mobilize multiple national protection forces back to Mingdu for this operation. Do we have enough manpower?"

"Keep as many as you can. This is our home turf, there won't be any problems."

Xu Tianxi offered a word of encouragement, and Lang Xing's eyes shone with confidence as he said, "You don't need to worry about the Shrek people. I'll take care of them. The rest is up to you, Dean. The experts from the Body Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will likely be the main force in this operation." "Song Yunzhi, the current Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, is the number one agility-type Soul Master in the world. She's incredibly fast. Can you handle her?" Jing Hongchen asked with concern.

"You don't need to worry about this person, Dean. They have a level 97 Super Douluo, and we have one too."

Xu Tianxi smiled mysteriously and said, "Excuse me for keeping you in suspense, but I can tell you that they are the best candidates to deal with the Shrek people."

Jing Hongchen didn't care about that and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, then I'll leave everything to you. I won't ask anything. Just tell me what you need. I'll be waiting for you to take the head of the Shrek Title Douluo."

"You go see Master Kong first, I'll be there shortly."

"Thank you for your trust, Dean." Xu Tianxi bowed and turned to make arrangements in the direction of the Hall of Offerings.

It is night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Xu Tianxi, along with two top experts from the Qian Gu family, concealed their whereabouts and quietly returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Seniors, the first battle to eliminate Shrek Academy may be coming soon, so please be prepared..."

Xu Tianxi led the two to a secluded place, his expression solemn, and introduced them to the objective of this operation.

Qian Gu Cang Hai brandished his staff, nodded and smiled, "My father and I have been waiting for this battle, and we will not let you down, Brother Xu."

"Hehe, I look forward to the two seniors smashing the skulls of Shrek's masters with a single blow."

Xu Tianxi offered a blessing, bid farewell to the father and son, and went outside the academy to help install the high-energy soul guide device.

After working tirelessly from night to day, and moving all the important students and some experimental equipment within five days, Xu Tianxi finally had some peace and quiet and some free time.

At this time, Ning Tian and Xu Jiujiu's intelligence network also gave him new information about Shrek Academy's operational objectives.

"Shrek's target this time is actually He Caitou? The former crown prince?"

In the detached villa where Xu Jiujiu had been living for so long, Xu Tianxi looked at the core security information that Xu Jiujiu had provided and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"That's what my brother and the others said," Xu Jiujiu said, resting her chin on one hand, her beautiful face slightly turned to the side, a smile of great interest on her face, as she pressed on with the question:

"Did you not let him go back then because you knew he was no ordinary person? Was he really the former crown prince of your Sun Moon Empire?"

"I suppose so. The old emperor was incompetent; he couldn't even handle a coup properly, leaving behind such a hidden danger that we have to clean up after him."

Xu Tianxi's expression turned strange for a moment. He sighed and said, "Originally, we just wanted to lock up He Caitou for a few decades and let him be released after he had exhausted his cultivation potential. That would be a decent ending."

"I never expected Shrek would actually use his identity as a weapon; they're really forcing us to change our minds."

Xu Jiujiu remained silent, staring intently at Xu Tianxi, as if to say, "You, who also aspire to be emperor, still care about this?"
Xu Tianxi said calmly, "Don't misunderstand. Although I don't mind killing, I don't like killing indiscriminately. Besides, I'm expressing my contempt for the old emperor's methods and Shrek Academy's intelligence."

"If I had staged the coup, there would have been no future troubles; if I were a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy, I would have secretly led people to arrest He Caitou, instead of being so high-profile as to cause the information to be leaked."

"It seems Shrek has never done this kind of intelligence work before, nor does he understand the principle of making a fortune in silence. I heard that they are still working on some extreme individual soldier program, intending to change the war with one person's strength. Now it seems that it is all a joke."

After a long pause, a look of amazement flashed across her bright eyes beneath her delicate brows, and she then asked with a smile, "So now, what do you plan to do?"

"Simple. Since Shrek wants to save He Caitou, we'll ambush him in his location."

Xu Tianxi stood up, his eyes burning with fervor: "This time, I will make sure none of them leave alive!"

After a long pause, she smiled and said, "You don't mind if I go with you, do you?"

Xu Tianxi glanced at her in surprise and nodded slightly: "That's fine too."

After making the decision, Xu Tianxi immediately called his team to make plans, and the defenses around the prison where He Caitou was located quickly changed.

Once everything was ready, Xu Tianxi ordered Xiao Xiao, Ling Luochen, and He Caitou to be placed in different locations for protection, while he himself moved into a top-tier prison with his men, waiting to ambush them.

They also arranged for Zhang Lexuan to stay next door and sealed her soul power.

Gazing at the scenery of Mingdu City outside the prison, Xu Tianxi sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

"Don't keep me waiting too long..."

……

Dozens of days later, a deafening explosion suddenly came from underground. Xu Tianxi opened his eyes abruptly and saw figures with high-hanging soul rings rushing towards him, with the sounds of battle echoing incessantly.

"Shrek children, we've come to save you!"

With a flicker of his gaze, Xu Tianxi smiled faintly: "The Martial Goddess Lin'er? You've come at the perfect time."
