Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 145 Xuanzi: I should be fine if I go out for ten seconds or so.

Upon hearing Elder Xuan say that he would help Ning Tian and the others obtain soul rings, the three teachers leading the group present were shocked.

"Really, Elder Xuan? You'll be overseeing this Soul Hunting operation?"

The three teachers who knew Xuan Lao's true identity were all incredulous. As a level 98 Title Douluo, Xuan Lao usually only helped others hunt for their eighth and ninth spirit rings. Helping others hunt for their third and fourth spirit rings was something they had never heard of before.

After all, they are only three or four rings, and the upper limit of the age of the soul rings is only about five thousand years. If it weren't for the presence of Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, even the level 77 Soul Saint wouldn't have come. A bunch of soul rings with an age of less than five thousand years would be enough to hunt down with two high-level Soul Emperors leading the team. Although there are more people this time, generally speaking, another level 75 Soul Saint would be the upper limit.

It was because the level 77 Soul Saint and the Soul Master from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had a prior relationship that he chose to help them hunt for Soul Rings.

"What kind of rubbish do you think you are worthy of being fooled by an old man like me?" Elder Xuan said disdainfully to the three of them.

He originally didn't plan to come. After all, a group of Soul Masters lacking three or four rings were not even worth his order to send a Soul Douluo.

But things are different now. Because of his mistake, Shrek Academy suffered a crushing defeat in the last major competition, and Elder Xuan still felt somewhat guilty.

Feeling guilty, he wanted to make amends. So when Shrek Academy proposed to steal the soul tool blueprints from the Sun Moon Empire and needed Huo Yuhao, Elder Xuan stepped forward without hesitation. Even though Huo Yuhao only needed a thousand-year soul ring, even though he only needed a second soul ring, Elder Xuan resolutely chose to atone for his sins.

Even though his identity didn't allow him to lead a team to hunt for a second spirit ring, he did it without hesitation and, fortunately, managed to ensure Huo Yuhao's survival.

Although some of Shrek Academy's geniuses were lost in the process, it was because he encountered a 700,000-year-old soul beast, not because of his own fault, so he cannot be blamed.

Moreover, his original intention was not to lead those people to hunt for spirit rings. Those people were just incidental. Huo Yuhao, whom he was originally going to take to obtain spirit rings, had no problems. Under these circumstances, Elder Xuan felt that the sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and he could lead the team to hunt for spirit rings again.

However, ordinary people are not qualified to ask him to help hunt for spirit rings, so he only appeared when Ning Tian needed to hunt for spirit rings.

As one of the key participants in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, Ning Tian of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

To ensure Ning Tian's safety, he naturally needed to handle this matter personally.

"Yes, yes, Elder Xuan, how could someone of your status possibly deceive us juniors? I misspoke, I'm sorry."

The Soul Saint and the two Soul Emperors quickly lowered their heads, feeling more at ease about this Soul Hunt.

The time when Elder Xuan led Zhang Lexuan and others to hunt for soul rings was not allowed to be mentioned by others in advance, so as to prevent Elder Xuan from being saddened.

The last time the Shrek Seven Devils hunted down evil soul masters, it wasn't about hunting for soul rings, and besides, the teacher leading the team was Wang Yan, so it had nothing to do with Elder Xuan.

As for the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest ten months ago, Huo Yuhao encountered a 700,000-year-old soul beast. Without Elder Xuan's help, he wouldn't have been able to return.

In this situation, in the eyes of many Shrek Academy members, Elder Xuan was still the greatest asset when hunting for spirit rings, and someone that many people wanted to invite but could not persuade.

Therefore, when Elder Xuan announced that he would lead a team to help everyone hunt for soul rings, everyone except Ning Tian was extremely excited.

As for why Ning Tian wasn't excited, the last time he almost died was the last time, and that last time was when Elder Xuan led the team.

He was the only one among them who had seen Elder Xuan act unreliably, but he couldn't say anything. After all, last time, just because he said a few extra words, he was captured in front of Elder Xuan by a five-ring Soul King, a five-ring Soul King without a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Ning Tian would never believe that there wasn't something going on there.

Let alone a level 98 Title Douluo, even a Soul Douluo wouldn't be able to let a five-ring Soul King capture a three-ring Soul Master right in front of him!

Ironically, when she was rescued afterward, she was moved to tears of gratitude. Tomorrow, she seriously suspects that if she hadn't knelt down quickly enough, those zombie slaves would have blown her to bits with an explosion.

"Alright, let's go. Stop dawdling. This time, with a teacher leading the team, you don't need to worry about the criticisms you gave us earlier. Start a fire if you need to. I don't like cold food. As for any spirit beasts, even if they are 100,000-year-old spirit beasts, I'll still chase them away."

"Thank you, Elder Xuan! With you here, we can rest assured."

Under Elder Xuan's command, the group quickly entered the Star Dou Great Forest. On the evening of the first day, they cooked as usual and actually encountered a powerful soul beast. However, just as the soul beast was about to attack the students, Elder Xuan, whose aura they had not been able to sense, suddenly appeared and slapped the soul beast, which was no less than 50,000 years old, away.

"Get lost! If you dare harass my students again, I'll roast you alive!"

Elder Xuan was gnawing on a chicken leg with one hand while gripping the soul beast's neck with the other. His overwhelming power inspired a sense of awe in all the students.

"As expected of Elder Xuan, his cultivation level is far beyond our reach!"

"With Elder Xuan here, our Soul Hunting operation will absolutely not encounter any problems this time!"

Everyone flattered Elder Xuan. After Elder Xuan easily subdued a 50,000-year-old soul beast, even Ning Tian felt that Elder Xuan was somewhat reliable.

"You all rest, I'll take care of everything."

As Elder Xuan spoke, his aura vanished once more, displaying the demeanor of a master who appeared and disappeared without a trace.

In the following days, under the protection of Elder Xuan, the group gradually headed towards the mixed zone. They were not worried about the problems that might arise if they went deeper, since Elder Xuan's strength, which he had demonstrated in the past few days, had already won people's hearts.

The fact that he could defeat high-level soul beasts without ever releasing his soul rings was enough to prove Elder Xuan's strength. Although they could not usually sense Elder Xuan's aura, their experiences over the past few days made it clear to them that if they were ever in real danger, Elder Xuan would definitely appear before them and shield them from those invincible beings.

This was originally just an ordinary soul-hunting operation, and it should have ended normally in this way, until...

"Hmm? This aura... an angel? And an angel with a ring of seven or higher?"

The old man, who had been sensing his surroundings, suddenly turned cold. However, thinking of Ning Tian, ​​whom he was supposed to protect, he hesitated for a moment.

"Never mind, it's not far anyway. Even if I go, this is within my reach. It only takes me a dozen seconds to get back. After all, they are Shrek's students and teachers. They can't be so short-lived as to not even last a dozen seconds."
