Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 117 The Hand of Death, Evil Soul Master
Seeing that Wang Dong'er remained silent, Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction.

Although the Shrek Inspection Team is dangerous, it doesn't really push the trainees into hell.

At least as the deputy leader, he would definitely take good care of the trainees when he was leading the team.

Shrek's intelligence network has always been excellent, covering all the major empires on the continent. The only exception is the Sun Moon Empire, where intelligence is generally less effective. If anything unexpected happens, it can only be attributed to bad luck.

“Now, those who are unwilling to take on this responsibility, and those who believe they cannot enter the inner academy, should step forward and return to the academy with that teacher.” Xuanzi’s voice was extremely calm, his eyes lowered.

Some hesitated, some were conflicted; they didn't know what would happen if they stepped forward.

"Don't worry, kids, even if you choose to leave, the academy won't do anything to you. You can still retain your status as core disciples and continue your studies in the outer academy until graduation. However, you must also swear an oath to keep it a secret, just like those students who choose to leave after graduating from the outer academy."

"Or, when you face the hurdle of entering the inner academy in the future, if you feel that you are capable of handling this responsibility, you can take on this responsibility again. The academy will always welcome you."

Finally, the first person stepped forward; it was a core disciple from the fourth year.

With the first person taking the lead, several others followed suit and stepped forward.

Of the 23 core disciples who were eliminated in the selection competition, seven chose to give up. Among them, only Huang Chutian and Cui Yajie, who were second-year students, chose to withdraw.

Of the fifteen core disciples who remained, nine were second-year students.

They were all young and full of vigor. Whether they wanted to join the inspection team or stay to enter the inner court, they all wanted to prove themselves.

"Those who have withdrawn, return to the academy with that teacher. You have lost your eligibility to watch the Star Luo City competition." Xuanzi's words were resolute, leaving no room for regret.

Xiao Xiao vaguely remembered that Xuan Zi had once said with a wave of his hand that all thirty people would go to watch the game, but they were all sent back.

She had a vague feeling that this seemingly powerful Super Douluo was a bit unreliable.

Even though no one is looking down on them yet, the trainees who chose to withdraw still keep their heads down and dare not raise them.

After the teacher took the students away, Xuanzi looked at the remaining students with a smile and said, "Very good, none of you are cowards."

"There's an even more important reason why I'm saying all this now. It's because those of you who stayed behind are about to take on your first surveillance mission. Once you enter the inner courtyard, the number of surveillance missions you need to complete will be reduced by one."

"Even if you don't make it into the Inner Court in the future, this inspection mission will surely be an unforgettable experience for you. Believe me, what you gain from this mission will far outweigh what you lose."

"Alright, Wang Yan, distribute the Shrek Inspectors' equipment to them. Xiao Tao, you give us an overview of the mission."

"Yes." Wang Yan agreed and immediately took out a bunch of rings from his storage soul tool. These rings were all of the same style, silver-white bands with a green gemstone engraved in the shape of Shrek's head set in the setting.

"These rings are called the Rings of the Inspectors, the symbol of Shrek Inspectors. Only Shrek Inspectors possess them. If you drop a drop of blood on one, you can connect with the ring through blood. When you encounter another Inspector, you can also use the Ring of the Inspector to verify whether the other person is wearing the Ring of the Inspector."

"In addition, this Overseer's Ring is also a storage soul tool containing Overseer's exclusive equipment."

As he spoke, Wang Yan took out a set of clothes, a mask, and a cloak from his storage soul tool and showed them to the students.

"There are also distress flares inside, which are unique to Shrek's inspectors. If they encounter danger, they can release the flares directly, and any inspector who sees the flares will rush to their aid immediately."

After introducing the equipment, Wang Yan stepped back, leaving Ma Xiaotao to introduce the mission.

"Now I will introduce this surveillance mission to you. This time we will go to the Mingdou Mountains, which are located at the border of the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, to find and kill a group of bandits who call themselves the Hand of Death. Their leader is said to be an evil soul master, known as the Messenger of Death."

"These bandits are extremely rampant, specializing in intercepting and killing merchants traveling between the two great empires, and they never leave any survivors. However, because their hiding places are so complex, the army cannot attack them directly."

"Most importantly, the Mingdou Mountains are the border between the two great empires. Whichever empire sends troops, the Death Hand will go to the other empire, and it has even caused the two armies to fight each other before."

"Therefore, although this group of bandits who call themselves the Hand of Death are not many in number, only about three hundred, they are still extremely active and have not been wiped out."

"In this situation, only our Shrek Inspection Team can eliminate them. Also, I want to emphasize that this operation is for killing; we want to annihilate them all. You bunch of greenhorns who have never killed anyone, don't make a mess of things later."

"The Mingdou Mountains were formed by the collision of two continents more than four thousand years ago. They are rich in resources, so both the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire are actively vying for ownership of this mountain range. Although the Star Luo Empire can help us, it can't give much; it can only provide us with a map and intelligence."

"Because there are a large number of people this time, we will use soul tools to travel the journey to Mingdou Mountain Range."

Wang Yan specifically obtained this soul tool from Fan Yu.

After all, Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi's "sudden inspiration" disrupted the original plan, and they could only travel by using a soul tool.

Using the soul-guided device to travel, the group had a chance to catch their breath. Soon, one of the students asked Wang Yan, "Teacher, what kind of existence is an evil soul master?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "The existence of evil soul masters can be traced back to ten thousand years ago. Our Shrek Academy's first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San, once encountered a very powerful evil soul master, who was also a Title Douluo."

"And from that evil soul master, Tang San's ancestor also obtained a domain-type ability."

"The so-called evil soul masters refer to some soul masters who possess special evil martial souls."
