Dozens of cannons on He Caitou's body lit up at the same time and were then launched into the sky, like a dazzling rain of fireworks.
It then covered the entire competition venue, falling from the sky like a meteorite.
Rumble~~~
The initial smoke gradually dissipated, but what followed was a thick haze of gunpowder that filled the entire arena.
Huo Yuhao tumbled about in a very disheveled state, being blasted away several times. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 915 Heading to the Former Site of the Tang Clan
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was carrying a shield on his back; otherwise, his fate would have been many times worse.
On several occasions, Tang Lan and the others even saw Huo Yuhao being blasted backwards and sent flying several meters away.
His original blue school uniform had been burned to the point that only most of the clothes remained as fragments.
Even so, Huo Yuhao still had no intention of admitting defeat.
The roar lasted for several dozen breaths. According to Tang Lan's prediction, He Caitou had launched at least several hundred attacks in that short period of time.
His entire being was a humanoid war behemoth.
In times of war, He Caitou alone could defeat an army of five hundred men.
If He Caitou can break through to the Soul King or even the Soul Saint, his role will undergo a qualitative change.
Not to mention his ability to fight against thousands of people with his ultimate individual skills, even his amplified cigars can arm a large number of soldiers and more than double the overall combat power of the army.
This is why support-type Soul Masters are the most valuable elites in all the major empires.
"Hoo, hoo!"
After firing hundreds of soul-guided cannonballs of various types, even someone as strong as He Caitou was panting heavily.
At this moment, He Caitou was kneeling on one knee, and the hair on his forehead was already soaked with sweat.
His clothes were already soaked through, and a small puddle of sweat had formed at his feet.
It had gradually dried up under the intense heat generated by the Soul Guidance Cannon on the field.
Whoosh~~~
Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind Tang Lan.
He Caitou felt a slight chill on his neck as a throwing knife was placed against the man's neck.
When He Caitou lowered his head slightly, he saw a dirty hand holding a broken throwing knife against his neck.
Then, Huo Yuhao spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Senior, it seems I've won this time!"
He Caitou was slightly taken aback at first, then gave a wry smile.
He opened his mouth and weakly replied, "It seems I underestimated your strength. You won, and you also earned my respect."
“From now on, Cai Tou and I are willing to be your humanoid backup pods. This time, I am completely convinced.”
It turns out that the two had made a prior agreement for this competition.
Shrek Academy's Extreme Individual Soldier Project requires an enormous amount of resources.
The ultimate goal for Xian Lin'er and the others is to train the ultimate individual fighters all the way up to the title of Douluo.
With Huo Yuhao as a stronger candidate, it would be unwise to simultaneously cultivate He Caitou.
It could even have the opposite effect and result in insufficient resource concentration.
On the contrary, He Caitou, as Huo Yuhao's humanoid soul guide, can achieve a boost greater than the sum of its parts.
Huo Yuhao slowly put away the throwing knife in his hand, then helped He Caitou up. The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
The two, supporting each other, arrived at Tang Lan's side of the field.
Then He Caitou spoke first: "Senior Tang Lan, Yuhao's hidden weapons are really amazing. I think they will be of great help to me in using soul tools. I want to join the Tang Sect."
Tang Lan touched her nose and looked at Tang Ya beside her: "You should ask the sect leader of the Tang Clan about this matter. I'm just the sect leader's assistant, well, just an assistant!"
Tang Lan had a smile on her lips, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.
If He Caitou wants to join the Tang Clan, he won't refuse, but the final decision will still be made by Tang Ya.
"Great! On behalf of the Tang Sect, I welcome you!" "Now our Tang Sect has gained another elite, and a genius who specializes in the Soul Guidance System at that."
Tang Ya smiled brightly and nodded emphatically in response to He Caitou's request.
Time flies,
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the sweltering summer has arrived.
The gates of Shrek Academy were wide open, with only the elders sitting leisurely at the entrance, sipping tea.
Most of the students at Shrek Academy went home for the holidays.
But another group of people were gathering at the entrance of the academy.
Sitting next to the elder, drinking with him, was Tang Lan.
Standing to the side were Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao.
"Apart from the junior students who need to go home, all the core members of our Tang Clan are here."
Tang Ya walked to Tang Lan's side and said with a smile.
Today was the day she was going home, and Tang Lan kept her promise to Tang Ya, agreeing to go back with her and clean up the old site of the Tang Clan.
Unexpectedly, after Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and the others found out, they all chose to stand with Tang Lan.
Tang Ya was both happy and touched to find that so many people had gathered at once.
"You little rascals, you must avoid causing trouble when you go out. It's always a good thing to keep a low profile."
"Seeing you all having so much fun reminds me of when I was a student at the academy. I had many companions around me back then, and I really envy you all!"
"It's a pity that time waits for no one and I'm no longer the same as I used to be. All I can do now is stay at the academy and watch the school gate."
"Go ahead, and remember to bring me some local specialties when you come back."
Seeing three carriages approaching from the opposite direction, the elder smiled and waved to Tang Lan and the others.
After saying that, he picked up the pipe that Tang Lan had given him and started smoking it by himself.
A group of people chatted and laughed as they boarded the three horse-drawn carriages. At the driver's shouts, the three carriages turned around and sped away, gradually disappearing from sight.
For some reason, Tang Lan sat in the last carriage, and Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan also joined her.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had somewhat complicated expressions, but seeing this, they could only sit together in another carriage.
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou had been discussing soul tools frequently during this time, so the two went to the carriage at the front.
"Next, we will need to travel for seven days to reach the former site of the Tang Clan!"
"Today we need to reach Green Mountain Town before dusk, which is already on the edge of Shrek City's control."
"Once you leave Qingshan Town, you will no longer be under the jurisdiction of Shrek City, but will fall under the control of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
Tang Lan sat in the carriage, picked up the map of the mainland in his hand, studied it carefully for a long time, and then spoke to the women.
However, the girls didn't pay any attention to these things at all. Instead, they talked about some everyday items that girls use.
Even when discussing intimate topics like underwear, there was absolutely no intention to hide it from Tang Lan.
This made Tang Lan feel hot all over, especially when smelling the different body scents of the three women around him and feeling the sensations of their touch, which made him unable to help but have all sorts of fantasies.
Left with no other choice, Tang Lan forced herself to calm down and enter a meditative state to pass the time on the journey. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 916 Desolate Land
Along the way, soldiers from the Heavenly Soul Empire could often be seen riding by on horseback.
Tang Lan knew that there had been ongoing friction between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, and it was escalating.
North of Shrek City lies the border region between the three parties. Apart from Shrek City, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Multi-Realm Empire have already had several clashes on the border.
Both sides have been continuously increasing their troop presence along the border for several months, leading to the current tense situation.
Recently, the Heavenly Soul Empire invited Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, to mediate between the two empires and ease the serious conflict.
But to everyone's surprise, Mu En was still in seclusion, which made things even more tense, and even the surrounding people chose to stay at home and move to other places.
All the houses Tang Lan saw along the way showed the same result after multiple investigations: no signs of life.
This place has become a deserted area.
"The infamous wasteland is just ahead. We'll have some tips along the way, so please hold on tight!"
As the sun gradually set behind the horizon, Che Tu, who was sitting in the front, suddenly reminded Tang Lan and the others.
Tang Lan had already seen the desolate land on the map. After crossing the desolate land, it would be less than thirty miles to the famous Green Mountain City.
This place is called the Wasteland because it was the site of an epic war that took place here when the Heavenly Empire split apart.
According to Shrek Academy's historical records, the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire, which split up in the past, deployed hundreds of thousands of troops here and fought for three whole months.
Both sides dispatched countless powerful Soul Master legions for this purpose.
In a short time, the land was shattered and scarred. Even after so many years, the place remains largely unchanged.
The most important factor was the rapid progress made by various parties in the development of soul tools during that period.
In the final stretch, they even used the powerful Soul Guidance Cannon.
Ordinary soldiers would be blown up within an hour of being inside; it was a true meat grinder on the battlefield.
It wasn't until decades later that the real reason became known to the world.
It turns out that the Heaven Dou Empire split into two major empires, and the powerful soul tools used in the war between the two empires were actually secretly supported by the Sun Moon Empire.
They are located on the other side of the ocean, selling their soul tools in exchange for various conditions.
As a result, the two empires consumed almost half of the former Tiandou Empire's national strength, making the Sun Moon Empire across the ocean unprecedentedly powerful.
Only in the end did a war break out between the two continents.
"Halt! Where did you come from? Unauthorized entry is not allowed here. Go back now!"
