Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 778 Dragnet
Dozens of kilometers south of Sunrise City, Nether Thunder Douluo was fleeing in panic, feeling the large number of pursuers behind him, but he dared not look back.

But those hundreds of beams of light arrived incredibly fast, almost instantly reaching the top of his head.

In an instant, streaks of blue light intertwined in the air to form a large net, enveloping the Nether Thunder Douluo within it, and even managing to force him back from his Nether Thunder Avatar state to human form.

"Don't make a move, they're on our side," Nether Thunder Douluo hurriedly said, taking out a token from his robes as he spoke.

At this moment, he could see clearly that each of these people, whose bodies were flashing with blue light, had a flying soul tool on their backs, wore black tight-fitting clothes, and had a huge blue eye pattern on their chests.

This pattern is not just a simple decoration; it appears to be made of metal. The blue light we saw earlier was caused by these eye patterns flashing.

Those large blue eyes, with deep pupils, though just patterns, still seemed capable of devouring everything. Around the pupils, there were countless dark blue light patterns resembling blood vessels.

Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

Ming Lei Douluo was secretly surprised. The group that had come was the Evil Monarch Soul Master Group, one of the four Beast King-level Soul Master Groups of the Sun Moon Empire.

Marked by the Evil Eye Tyrant, this Soul Master Corps excels in speed and surprise attacks. Sending them as reinforcements is clearly the most appropriate course of action for Mingdu.

An elderly man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit with bright blue trim came before the group of evil spirit masters.

"Whoever is on your side, just surrender first."

The old man was tall with a hooked nose and large eyes that flashed with a fierce light. His arrogant demeanor gave off a sense of unapproachability.

"Is your Evil Lord Soul Master Corps plotting another rebellion? Were your Soul Master Corps members among those who went to the capital to defend the emperor last time?!"

The Thunder God spoke with a very bad expression.

"Don't move!" The surrounding Soul Masters of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps immediately shouted in unison.

"Get lost!" Not to mention that Ming Lei Douluo had just suffered a setback and was now full of anger, even in the past, he was not a good-tempered person.

A terrifying, eerie green lightning surged up, and nine spirit rings shone beneath the feet of the Nether Lightning Douluo.

The air, which was originally cool, instantly turned chilly. Even more terrifying, the air within a radius of tens of meters centered on the body of the Nether Thunder Douluo rippled like water, rendering all the soul tools targeting him ineffective.

As soon as the Nether Thunder Douluo Martial Soul was released, a touch of eerie green appeared in the dark night sky.

Some of the nearby Soul Masters were horrified to discover that their Soul Tools had suddenly become electrified, unable to fire and even showing signs of melting.

"Commander Wang, are you here to cause internal strife? I was just stalling for time with Heavenly Centipede Douluo for your sake, but Heavenly Centipede Douluo died in battle, and I had no choice but to change tactics. Now you bunch of idiots have failed to capture anyone and are trying to capture me instead?"

As he spoke, Ming Lei Douluo threw the token in his hand toward Commander Wang, whom he was referring to.

"The Heavenly Centipede Douluo is dead?"

The old man with the hooked nose twitched slightly before raising his hand to accept the token. After a moment, he nodded, signaling the soul masters to lower their weapons. He also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I'm dead."

Ming Lei Douluo's face was extremely pale. He never expected that a Title Douluo would die at the hands of a Soul Emperor.

The leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, named Wang Yiheng, is a key figure in protecting the nation. He is also a Title Douluo, known as the Mad Bull.

When the explosion occurred in Sunrise City, the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps was conducting drills outside the city, which is why the exercise was being turned into actual combat, and that's why they arrived so quickly. Unfortunately, even with their rapid arrival, they still couldn't capture anyone. The one they finally managed to catch was an evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Cult.

How could Wang Yiheng possibly be happy about this?

"I heard that the highest cultivation level among the hostages in Sunrise City is only Soul Douluo, and there are only two of them. You two Title Douluos couldn't even handle two Soul Douluos, and one of you was even killed?"

Wang Yiheng's tone was laced with sarcasm, which caused a flash of killing intent to appear in Ming Lei Douluo's eyes: "Isn't that because they have the assistance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul Master, and also a Soul Emperor?"

"The Heavenly Centipede Douluo died at the hands of that Soul Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yiheng raised an eyebrow, dismissing Ming Lei Douluo's words as utter nonsense.

You don't believe me?

Ming Lei Douluo said, "Then why didn't your Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps catch them? We at least bought you almost a minute. How long would it take you to get from the south city wall to the north city wall? And how far could those people have run?"

"Your Evil Lord Soul Master Corps is so powerful, how come you couldn't capture a single person, but you managed to capture this old man?"

The words of the Thunder God were incredibly sharp, like a dagger piercing Wang Yiheng's chest.

"That's because only a junior Soul Emperor could control that soul power aura."

Wang Yiheng offered only half a statement before falling silent.

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.

"What? The hostage escaped?" Xu Tianran's usually calm voice suddenly became penetrating, causing the entire roof of the hall to tremble slightly.

Xu Tianran, dressed in a bright yellow robe, had a face so dark it seemed like it was about to drip water. He looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground below, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Kneeling below were the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and the leaders of the two Soul Master Corps stationed around Sunrise City.

"Tell me what happened. Explain the details clearly."

Xu Tianran said calmly. He had regained his composure in a short time.

But everyone could sense that this was just the calm before the storm. If things didn't go clearly, or if anything went wrong in the process, someone would probably lose their head immediately.

Orange sat next to Xu Tianran, her face also looking rather grim. With the Holy Spirit Sect and two Soul Master Corps guarding them, and the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, a Beast King-level Soul Master Corps that excels in speed, ready to provide support at any time, they still managed to let all those hundreds of hostages escape. This was simply a disgrace!

Moreover, these hostages are extremely valuable, making the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent hesitant to act rashly. At the same time, keeping these people in the Sun Moon Empire is equivalent to greatly restricting the future high-end soul master power of the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent.

Now that everyone has fled, all plans have to be changed, and there is a constant possibility of retaliation from the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent at the border!

The leaders of the Soul Master Corps immediately began their reports. Each of them was responsible for a part of the story, and the combined accounts of the three of them basically explained the entire process of the hostage's escape.

"Someone, please invite the Imperial Advisor to a meeting."

After listening to the three regimental commanders, Xu Tianran coldly gave the order. Immediately, a guard rushed off to relay the message.

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look in them. The Holy Spirit Sect had handled the most crucial part of guarding the hostages, even using drugs that could dissipate a Soul Master's soul power. Yet, in the end, they managed to get away completely.

What is the Holy Spirit Cult doing? Two Title Douluo-level evil soul masters couldn't even hold that place, let alone buy time for reinforcements?
