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

Chapter 123 Xuanzi's Regret!
Just as the students had suspected, Xuanzi was indeed following behind them the whole time.

But when he sensed that the most powerful enemy inside was only at the Soul King level, Xuanzi felt relieved.

Although there seemed to be more than one Soul King inside, these people were completely powerless to resist the elites of Shrek Academy.

Moreover, with teacher Wang Yan in charge, what does he have to worry about?

The smell of fresh blood was unpleasant and would kill his appetite for drinking, so Xuanzi simply waited outside the cave for news of victory.

Who would have thought that before the news of victory arrived, they were met with a series of massive explosions that clearly surpassed the attack power of Soul Kings or even Soul Emperors.

Inside the cave, the voice of the Grim Reaper echoed once more.

"Hehehehehe, how does the corpse explosion feel? Hmph, daring to provoke me, the Grim Reaper, no matter how strong you are, you are doomed to die in the face of my chain of corpse explosions. Even if the explosions don't kill you, you can only die in despair from the corpse poison that follows!"

The Death Messenger's corpse explosion indiscriminately attacked friend and foe alike, injuring and even killing Shrek Academy students on the spot, and also knocking down a large number of the Death Hand bandits.

However, these bandits clearly knew what abilities their leader possessed, and some of the faster ones had already found places where they could avoid the corpse explosions.

However, while the corpse explosion was terrifying, what was even more terrifying was the corpse poison that followed. The poison sprayed out, even corroding the cave walls and emitting large amounts of white vapor.

When the corpse explosion occurs, those who react quickly will use various soul skills or soul tools to protect themselves. However, since martial soul abilities are different, their protective abilities will naturally vary.

Some students didn't even have any defensive soul skills and could only rely on their soul power to protect themselves. Even if they dodged the terrifying corpse explosion, they were immediately infected by the corpse poison, which broke through their soul power defense, causing them to scream in pain.

Wang Dong'er also has a protective soul skill, but she doesn't have Huo Yuhao's simulation skill. Once she uses it, the four 400,000-year soul rings of her second martial soul will appear directly. So she used a powerful defensive soul tool to block it.

However, this soul tool was ultimately not used because a reward she had received from the system mission took effect directly.

That was the "Contra-level defensive soul skill once" that I obtained when I was with Du Weiren. It was a passive reward that was just triggered.

Thanks to the triggering of this reward, almost no one on Wang Dong'er's side was injured or infected with the corpse poison.

Besides Wu Feng, Ning Tian, ​​Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo who had come earlier, there were a few other people who happened to be hiding with them and were protected by Wang Dong'er.

"Dong'er, are you alright?" Xiao Xiao was concerned about Wang Dong'er immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Wang Dong'er was not in any abnormality. At the same time, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart.

When the corpse exploded, Wang Dong'er immediately shielded her with her body.

"Ah—" Another student screamed because he couldn't defend against the corpse poison. Tragically, the corpse poison had come into contact with his chest, and he was about to be corroded to death by the corpse poison.

The inner disciples were also having a hard time.

Even those who managed to defend themselves in time, being at the epicenter of the explosion, were all blasted away. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, being the strongest, suffered no external injuries from the explosion and were also spared from being contaminated by the corpse poison due to their timely protection.

Chen Zifeng's martial soul attack power was incredibly strong, but his defense relied solely on the Inspector's Inner Armor he wore. Fortunately, he could use his Soul Chasing Sword while in control of the sword, and his position was not as far forward as Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, thus avoiding the fate of being blown up on the spot like Yao Haoxuan. He was only blown into Wang Dong'er's defensive range at the cost of losing both legs, thus avoiding subsequent contamination by the corpse poison.

Ling Luochen was able to protect himself with ice, and because he was a control-type soul master and stood at the back, he also did not suffer serious external injuries. Like Chen Zifeng, he was blasted to Wang Dong'er's side.

However, the others fared much worse. Gongyang Mo had extremely strong support abilities but no defensive soul skills. His body was blown to pieces, and his lower legs were blown off. Corpse poison was also sizzling and corroding his thighs.

Because of the lightning protection and her high speed, Xixi only suffered damage to her back from the explosion. Fortunately, she was not exposed to too much corpse poison, and she collapsed to the ground in pain.

The worst off was Yao Haoxuan. Because of his martial soul, he was the largest in size and had to withstand the strongest explosive force. Most of his body was blown away, and he died on the spot.

Ironically, it was only because Yao Haoxuan's massive size absorbed the most of the explosion that the others were not completely wiped out.

As for the outer courtyard, the second-year students were on the outermost edge, so the enemies they encountered were not strong. In addition, they had Wang Yan to protect them. Furthermore, Wang Dong'er and Wu Feng were busy cleaning up the corpses, so none of them were infected by the corpse poison. They were only slightly affected by the explosion, which can be described as a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

But the core disciples in the third and fourth grades fared much worse.

Most of them were in areas with many corpses. When the explosion occurred, one person died on the spot, and the rest, apart from one who died from the corrosive effects of the corpse poison, were also affected by the blast wave.

The rest of the reserve team were in better condition. He Caitou had a defensive soul tool, Xu Sanshi was a defensive soul master, and Huo Yuhao's reminder allowed them to hide in time in a place with no corpses near Wang Dong'er. They were not seriously injured, but their qi and blood were not very stable.

"Damn it!" A roar of extreme anger echoed throughout the cave. Xuanzi's figure appeared before everyone's eyes in an instant. As a dazzling white light covered the entire cave, all the corpse poison evaporated and disappeared.

Xuanzi reached out and summoned a figure from the depths of the cave.

At this moment, Xuanzi was filled with grief, indignation, and deep regret.

This is the second time that the Shrek Academy students have suffered extremely serious casualties while he was leading the team!
Not to mention, the casualties this time were among the Shrek Seven Devils, the inner disciples who represent the backbone of the academy.

To put it bluntly, he would rather the core disciples of the outer court were the ones who died or were injured than have this level of casualties among the inner court disciples.

One person was killed in battle, and almost all the others were seriously injured.

Under these circumstances, how can the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament still participate?

The figure that emerged from the depths of the cave was completely shrouded in a black robe, obscuring his features; only his thin frame was visible.

His five spirit rings, three yellow and two purple, further proved that he was indeed only a Spirit King, and even a useless Spirit King without the optimal spirit ring ratio.
