Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 100: Ninth on the Immortal Herb Ranking, Snatching Immortal Herbs
Just as Ju Douluo Yueguan was still immersed in the immense joy of obtaining the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

A series of hurried footsteps broke the slightly eerie atmosphere in front of the Papal Palace.

A cardinal of Soul Saint level strode in and knelt on one knee.

His voice carried a hint of suppressed excitement and respect.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Based on investigations from multiple sources, we have confirmed Shrek Academy's secret base near Soto City within the Kingdom of Barak. They have not relocated on a large scale!"

Shrek Academy...

The icy killing intent that had subsided slightly because of the immortal herb in Bibi Dong's eyes instantly spread out as if it were a tangible thing.

The temperature in the entire Papal Palace seemed to drop several degrees.

Especially that Yu Xiaogang...

Thinking of that name stirred up a complex and inexplicable emotion within her.

"very good."

Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Have the bishop in charge of the Barak Kingdom mobilize his forces to capture everyone from Shrek Academy alive and bring them back to Spirit City!"

"Any resistance... kill without mercy!"

She wanted to firmly control those who might be related to Tang San but could not be used by her.

"Moon Gate, a ghost!"

Bibi Dong turned her gaze to the two Title Douluos beside her.

Yue Guan jolted awake from her fascination with the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and quickly and carefully put the immortal herb into a specially made jade box.

The ghostly figure solidified slightly from the shadows.

"You two, depart immediately and personally go to Soto City to take charge!"

Bibi Dong's tone was unequivocal.

"Make sure this matter goes perfectly, and don't let a single person escape! Especially that Yu Xiaogang, he must be brought back to me!"

She dispatched two titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

This is not only to ensure the success of the arrest operation, but also to prevent any accidents.

For example, Tang Hao, whose whereabouts are unpredictable and who always appears at crucial moments.

Or perhaps Shrek Academy itself is hiding some trump card.

With two titled Douluo joining forces, they are capable of handling most unforeseen events.

"I obey His Holiness the Pope's command!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei responded in unison.

Although Yue Guan felt sorry for the immortal herb that had to leave him temporarily, the Pope's order could not be disobeyed.

Moreover, he knew the importance of this matter.

The two exchanged a glance and then left without further delay.

The moonlight transformed into a golden beam, and the ghost merged into the shadows, vanishing instantly before the Papal Palace.

They sped off towards the Kingdom of Barak at top speed.

Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo set off on their mission, the Spirit Hall's capture network was quietly deployed towards Shrek Academy.

The sky above did not stop, and the dazzling golden light surged once more.

The new ranking information is rapidly being compiled!
[Ranking #9 on the Immortal Herb List: Phoenix Sunflower]

[Immortal Herb Appearance: Entirely crimson, shaped like a rooster's comb, with dazzling flame patterns along the edges of its leaves. The entire herb seems to be formed from the purest flame energy, radiating a scorching yet noble aura.]

[Effects: Contains extremely pure Yang energy, greatly purifying fire attributes, cleansing evil fire, and has a chance to promote the positive evolution of fire-attribute martial souls. It holds unparalleled appeal for soul masters possessing phoenix-type or firebird-type martial souls.]

[Harvesting/Consuming: Must be obtained from jade containing yin and cold energy, and swallowed directly to guide its pure yang medicinal power to cleanse the martial spirit and meridians.]

[The destined person: Ma Hongjun (Shrek Academy)]

"Ninth place! Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower!"

"Purifying evil fire and promoting the evolution of martial soul? This is practically a divine medicine specially prepared for soul masters with flawed fire martial souls!"

"Shrek Academy? Ma Hongjun? A Soul Master who was once on the Martial Soul Ranking, he actually has such luck!"

The mainland was once again in an uproar, with countless eyes watching.

Especially for Soul Masters with Fire Attribute Martial Souls.

They all looked with immense envy in the direction where Shrek Academy had once stood.

Shrek Academy, temporary residence.

The Shrek Seven Devils and their teachers, who had just finished training, were also drawn to the strange phenomenon in the sky.

When they heard "Ma Hongjun" and "Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower", everyone was stunned.

Ma Hongjun himself gaped open and pointed at his own nose.

His chubby face was filled with unbelievable ecstasy.

"Me? It's me? I, Fatty, am actually the one destined for this? The immortal herb that can purify evil fire?"

He was so excited he almost jumped up. The problem of the evil fire that had plagued him for years finally gave him hope of a complete solution!

Dean Flander pushed up his glasses, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

But he had more of an uneasy premonition.

Shrek Academy is now in a delicate situation.

Such a precious treasure has arrived; fortune may be mixed with misfortune!

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Dean, the situation is bad! This immortal herb may bring us disaster!" Before he finished speaking, a powerful soul force pressure descended suddenly like dark clouds covering the sky!

"boom!"

A figure carrying the powerful aura of a Soul Douluo-level expert stormed in from the outer perimeter of the academy like an eagle hunting a rabbit.

The target was none other than Ma Hongjun, who was still ecstatic!
It was none other than Lordiara, the Spirit Hall Soul Douluo who had been ordered to monitor this place and, upon seeing the arrival of the immortal herb, could not suppress his greed and desire to make a contribution!

"Hand over the immortal herb!"

Lordiara's eyes were sharp, with a hint of struggle in them.

But considering the Pope's reward and the prestige of the Spirit Hall, he still chose to take action!
If he can seize this magical herb and present it to the Pope, he will surely rise to great heights!

"you dare!"

Flander's eyes widened in fury, and his martial spirit, the Cat-Owl, instantly manifested, turning yellow, purple, black, and black.

The seven spirit rings shone brightly and soared into the sky!

Zhao Wuji roared back, activating his Immovable King Body and unleashing the power of his Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul to meet the attack head-on!

However, the gap between a Soul Douluo and a Soul Saint is enormous!
Moreover, Lordiara is a Soul Douluo carefully cultivated by the Spirit Hall, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"The seventh soul skill, martial soul true form!"

Lordiara unleashed his full power, tearing through the air with his enormous golden eagle form.

The claws, gleaming with unparalleled golden light, instantly shattered Flander's attack and sent Zhao Wuji flying.

Both of them coughed up blood and crashed heavily to the ground!
"Dean! Teacher Zhao!"

The Shrek Seven Devils exclaimed in surprise.

They tried to move forward, but were forced to stay away by the terrifying aftershocks of soul power.

Lordiara was incredibly fast; in a flash, he was already in front of Ma Hongjun.

The large hand grabbed directly at the newly formed Phoenix Sunflower with its crimson glow!

"asshole!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and his Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul erupted, but the difference in strength was too great, and he was powerless to stop it.

They could only watch helplessly as the immortal herb was snatched away by the other party!
"Hahaha! The magic herb is in hand!"

Lordiara was overjoyed.

As long as the magical herb is brought back...

At this critical moment, a chilling voice, like a cold wind from the depths of hell, suddenly rang out:

“Well done, Lordiara.”

The next moment, Ghost Douluo's ghostly figure appeared silently beside Lordiara.

He stretched out his pale hand and took the Phoenix Sunflower from the still-shaken Contra.

"Elder Ghost... Elder Ghost!"

Lordiara quickly bowed and paid his respects, feeling both fear and relief that Elder Ghost had arrived in time.

The ghost looked at the fiery immortal herb in its hand and nodded slightly.

While he was on his way, he saw that the Phoenix Sunflower, which ranked ninth on the list of immortal herbs, had been obtained by a soul master from Shrek Academy.

He discussed it directly with Yue Guan and decided to go ahead first.

The unique nature of utilizing the Ghostly Martial Soul has finally arrived ahead of schedule.

However, His Holiness the Pope's order was to capture the Shrek Seven Devils alive, but to ensure that the Immortal Herb was not lost.

The magic herb is now in my possession...

However, just as he was preparing to order a full-scale arrest!

"Martial Soul Palace!"

A roar that seemed to contain endless rage and domineering power exploded from the horizon like thunder!
"Boom boom boom!"

Immediately following, a terrifying, overwhelming aura, capable of shattering everything, descended like a vast meteor shower.

Carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression, it swept in from afar, raging towards us!

Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao!
Sensing this familiar yet terrifying aura, the ghost's expression changed drastically!
He knew Tang Hao's strength well, especially his unparalleled Clear Sky Hammer. Even if he joined forces with Yue Lian, he might not be able to win.

At this moment, the moon has not yet arrived, and he is all alone, having to protect the immortal herb. He is no match for Tang Hao!
"withdraw!"

Ghost made a decisive decision without any hesitation!
He grabbed the still somewhat dazed Lordiara, his figure instantly transforming into a fleeting ghostly shadow, disappearing into the surrounding shadows.
They fled far away towards Wuhun City!

The elixir has been obtained; the objective has been achieved.

Shrek Academy may be able to run away, but they can't hide forever; there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future.

The most urgent task is to safely return this cockscomb phoenix palm to the Papal Palace!
Almost the instant the ghost disappeared.

A figure, accompanied by a raging storm and fury, suddenly descended upon Shrek Academy.

The enormous phantom of the Haotian Hammer seemed to be about to tear the entire sky apart!

Tang Hao has arrived!

He looked down at the chaotic scene below and at the injured Flander and Zhao Wuji, and sighed.

After all, the mistress had asked him to find traces of Shrek Academy.

Today, after much effort, we finally found a new location for Shrek Academy.

In the end, he was still a step too late.

The people from the Spirit Hall took the immortal herb and slipped away.

Shrek Academy was temporarily spared from destruction, but the immortal herb that originally belonged to Ma Hongjun had fallen into the hands of the Spirit Hall.
