Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 41 Shrek Inspection Team

The Shrek Examiner's Team has a specialized combat suit: a full-body armor that covers almost the entire body, leaving only the eyes, nose, and mouth exposed. This armor is extremely tough and offers considerable defensive capabilities. The outer layer consists of a dark green fitted outfit and a dark green mask, with a dark green cloak at the back. It is devoid of any superfluous patterns, emphasizing simplicity and unadorned style.

The Soul Masters from the Heavenly Soul Empire didn't have such good equipment, but in order not to reveal their identities, they also didn't wear their sect's clothing. Instead, they all wore the same dark green outfits, masks, and cloaks, only lacking the inner armor for defense.

This was something they had planned in advance; to facilitate command, they changed into combat uniforms of the same color. This operation should be considered a cooperative effort between the Shrek Academy Inspection Team and a sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with the latter obeying the command of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team.

To ensure the success of the operation, the Shrek Academy's Heavenly Soul Branch dispatched Sikong Qi, a consistently victorious general. Sikong Qi graduated from Shrek Academy's inner court three years ago and then joined the Heavenly Soul Branch. His operations had a 100% success rate, and the number of evil spirit masters and other bandits he had eliminated combined was well over 100%.

This operation was a carefully planned, deadly trap by Sikong Qi. Because if a large group wanted to pass through here and enter the Sun Moon Empire, they would have to cross a canyon in this mountainous area, which was surrounded by cliffs.

As long as they use soul-guided cannons to blast the boulders around the cliff as they pass through, countless boulders will rain down from the sky. This will cause some damage and block the path in front and behind, allowing them to break out from both sides.

He'd heard that the other side was no ordinary opponent, with their leader even being a Soul Saint level individual. But so what? He was a top student who graduated from Shrek Academy's inner court! The name of Shrek Academy, along with his level 73 Soul Saint cultivation, gave him confidence, making him feel invincible!

Moreover, the other students selected from Shrek Academy's inner court are all Soul Kings or even Soul Emperors. Although they are only participating in this operation as interns, wouldn't such a lineup make wiping out a team of evil Soul Masters a piece of cake?

Do you even know how prestigious Shrek Academy is?

"I wonder what this evil spirit master did."

A junior's voice came through the headset. This headset was a specially made soul tool. After researching communication soul tools, Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department created this headset. However, they didn't promote it widely, choosing instead to keep it internally.

Shrek Academy has always held a dismissive attitude towards soul tools. They think, "We can beat you half to death with our martial souls alone, why should we care about soul tools? If soul tools are so powerful, why didn't the Sun Moon Empire win the war four thousand years ago?"

Therefore, even with the lessons learned from the past, they didn't care about this kind of soul-guided technology at all. However, after designing this headset, which didn't have many special features, they also felt that it was a good thing, so they distributed it to some members of the monitoring team.

This time, the Shrek Academy students who wore headsets each led one or two Soul Masters from the Heavenly Soul Empire to facilitate communication during battle.

Sikong Qi recognized the junior who raised the question. His name was Chu Qingtian, an inner court student with the cultivation level of a six-ring Soul Emperor. His martial soul was a leopard-like beast martial soul, specializing in speed. It was said that even in the inner court, he was enough to rank among the top three.

"It doesn't matter. All we need to know is that they were born with evil martial spirits and will definitely become evil spirit masters. Do evil spirit masters need a reason to do evil?" Another junior's voice came from behind.

That's a good reason; everyone outside the headset thinks so.

Because they are evil spirit masters, they will inevitably do evil, so we must ambush them. The world is that simple.

Sikong Qi couldn't help but recall that when he was awakening his martial soul, a little boy in his batch awakened a martial soul called Bone Dragon, and was immediately slapped to death by the soul master in charge of the awakening. The reason was simple: the Bone Dragon martial soul was evil.

However, this had nothing to do with him, since he hadn't awakened his evil martial soul. What did other people's lives or deaths matter to him? His only concern was successfully awakening his martial soul. His martial soul was the Hercules Hammer, a top-tier martial soul very similar to the Clear Sky Hammer of Shrek Academy's ancestor, Tang San!

If he successfully completes this mission, it will be his thirty-third successful operation. He recalled that before he set off, Minister Cao of the Heavenly Soul Branch told him that he must bring his juniors back safely for the mission to be considered a success. If he successfully completes the mission, the academy headquarters will apply for an honorary medal for him.

This invigorated Sikong Qi. Such a medal wasn't something anyone could obtain; it represented a great honor. At Shrek Academy, which emphasized tradition and honor, everyone considered glory and legacy their responsibility, and for this honor, they would do anything.

"Senior Sikong, they seem to be here!" A junior's voice came through the earpiece. Sikong Qi couldn't help but be startled, and then looked towards the entrance of the canyon.

not long ago.

Qian Renxue and Xue Di concealed themselves and followed behind a group. Both of them possessed soul skills that allowed them to simulate disguise, which wasn't difficult for them. Moreover, they didn't choose to stay too close to the group, but rather kept a distance.

Upon discovering them, Qian Renxue immediately suspected they were spies attempting to infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire and decided to follow them. She also noticed that the leader's martial spirit seemed to be of an evil nature, but the younger members' martial spirits did not necessarily share this characteristic.

She noticed that the group seemed to be heading through a canyon, and hesitated for a moment. The canyon was flanked by towering cliffs; if someone were to set an ambush there, they would be trapped in a deadly situation. These cliffs were hundreds of meters high, and with her current mental strength, she could sense what was above them, so she knew that this group was heading towards a trap.

"Wait a minute," she said, pulling Xue Di back. "Let them pass first."

Xue Di nodded slightly; she could naturally tell that this place was dangerous.

"Holy Envoy, the canyon ahead is called 'A Line of Sky,' a natural barrier in the Cold Pine Cliff mountain area. Should we change our route?" A young man in the team ahead of Qian Renxue asked in a low voice.

The leading "holy envoy" frowned, reached out, took a map, and studied it.

"We are currently at Cold Pine Cliff in the Soul Fighting Mountain Range. This road is the fastest route we can take. If we take a detour, we might have to turn back and enter the Sun Moon Empire via another official road..." The Holy Envoy pondered for a moment, "However, aside from the fact that we don't have a pass, it will also take us three more days."

"Shall we get through quickly?" the young man asked in a low voice.

"Yes, our operation this time will be secret, and we must bring the news of the traitor in the Heavenly Dou branch back to the sect as quickly as possible." The Holy Envoy made the decision. "We are now the hunters of the Heavenly Soul Empire, here to hunt in these mountains."

"Pass quickly!"

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes: "On the mountaintop... it seems like we've run into some acquaintance again."

"Hmm?" Xue Di looked over in confusion, following her gaze.

"It's nothing. I have plenty of enemies in this world. There are bastards, rats in the gutter, and pigs and cannonsques." Qian Renxue waved her hand casually. "Let's disguise ourselves as merchants and follow them."

"Are you planning to make your move here?" Xue Di asked.

"Hmm..." Qian Renxue said softly, "This time, I don't want to hold back anymore."

Thank you all for your support every day, please continue to support us!

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

From here, Qian Renxue steps into the storyline of the Sun Moon Empire. She will learn new knowledge in the Sun Moon Empire and, through the Holy Spirit Cult, gain a more concrete understanding of the changes on the continent over the past ten thousand years.

Furthermore, the plot continues to unfold through the conflicts and grudges between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy.

It's worth mentioning beforehand that Qian Renxue joined the Holy Spirit Cult because of the existence of the Little Devil. The reason is simple: her current situation is extremely similar to that of a certain Ultimate Douluo who, in the original work, caused Tang Wutong to lose gold coins due to a misunderstanding.
