Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 99 is here! The strongest Soul King in history.

The next day, before the morning mist had completely dissipated, the group appeared at the east gate of Shrek Academy.

In addition to Xuanzi and his thirteen teammates, Wang Yan also appeared here.

"Elder Xuan." Although Xuanzi was Wang Yan's grandmaster, few outsiders knew about their relationship, and Wang Yan had never called him that in front of outsiders.

After greeting everyone, Wang Yan turned to his disciples and said, "Hello, students. I am the team leader for this Soul Fighting Tournament. My name is Wang Yan."

Xuanzi nodded, signaling Wang Yan to continue.

"Our surveillance mission is located in the Mingdou Mountains region, which borders the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. Our target is a group of bandits. It's the border between the two countries, making it difficult for either nation's army to take action. We need their help to deal with it."

"According to our investigation, this band of bandits calls themselves the Messenger of Death, and their leader is a rather powerful evil soul master. Our mission is to annihilate all of these bandits, leaving no one alive. Alright, everyone, take out your flying soul tools and get ready to depart."

The Shrek Academy's equipment was also upgraded without their knowledge. In addition to the existing clothing and cloaks, they added an energy-storing flight soul tool and a trigger-activated defensive soul tool.

The flying soul tool, capable of storing soul power, could be easily piloted even by Huo Yuhao, whose soul power level was the lowest. With the assistance of the flying soul tool, the group entered the Mingdou Mountain Range in just one day.

During a rest stop along the way, Wang Nan finally got to taste the legendary Huo Yuhao's secret recipe grilled fish.

He didn't use many seasonings; he simply brought out the full flavor of the grilled fish under his skillful control.

The inner court disciples usually eat medicinal cuisine, which, in order to preserve the properties of the ingredients and maximize the disciples' attributes, doesn't taste very good. Therefore, tasting his grilled fish for the first time is indeed a pleasant surprise.

As night fell, the group that had entered the Mingdou Mountains began to rest once again. Wang Nan rummaged through his storage soul tool and found a soul tool detector.

Although Wang Nan hoped that Ye Xiaosheng could add a function to detect the cultivation level of a Soul Master, unfortunately, this was not something Ye Xiaosheng could create with his current level of expertise.

However, after several improvements, its range and accuracy have been greatly enhanced. As long as one does not deliberately conceal their soul power fluctuations and aura, it can detect their traces.

As it turns out, the development of soul tools does indeed bring many conveniences. Although the group of Death Hands concealed their whereabouts, it was impossible for them to keep their soul power fluctuations to a minimum at all times.

As the group continued to venture deeper into the core area of ​​the Mingdou Mountains, a large number of Soul Masters appeared on the Soul Guidance Detector in Wang Nan's hand.

Seeing Wang Nan, who was walking at the front, stop, Wang Yan also looked up at him.

"Nan, cough, Xiao Nan." Wang Yan changed his form of address as soon as he spoke; it seemed a bit inappropriate to call Wang Nan by his nickname in front of so many people. "Did you find something?"

"Yes, it's just ahead."

Although it was night, everyone was a Soul Master and their eyesight was quite good. By the moonlight, they could see a hillside ahead, which should be where the Hand of Death was hiding.

"In that case, let's get closer and take a look." Wang Yan nodded. "Yuhao, once they're within your mental detection range, use your ability to confirm their identities."

"I see."

After assigning tasks, the group lowered their steps and quietly crept up.

When they were about two or three hundred meters away from the hillside, a milky white light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Immediately afterward, a cave entrance and the surrounding area appeared in everyone's minds.

Five or six bandits stood guard near the cave entrance, but their cultivation levels were too low, and they were completely unaware of Wang Nan and his companions' arrival.

After confirming their identities, everyone changed into the dark green Shrek Inspection Team uniforms. Although their faces were covered by masks, the three shortest guys kept looking at their clothes and could recognize who they were at a glance.

"Xiao Nan, the main force for this surveillance mission is your regular team members, so the command is in your hands."

Wang Nan nodded and glanced at the soul-guided detector in his hand.

Apart from the few people at the cave entrance, the rest of the people were inside the cave, about fifty meters away from the entrance.

Wang Nan led the group closer until they could see the location of the bandits with the naked eye.

"Ye Xiaosheng, start the bombing."

"Won't this alert the enemy?"

"That's exactly what we want to do." Even if Wang Nan didn't know the Death Hand leader's abilities, he wouldn't just lead people into the enemy's lair like that.

In his view, the person in charge of commanding the group that led the Death Hand to the title of strongest Soul King also bore a great deal of responsibility. Rushing in without understanding the situation inside, and without bringing along teammates with scouting abilities, was utterly incomprehensible.

"Huo Yuhao, don't conserve your mental and soul power. Use your mental detection to cover the entire area."

Upon hearing Wang Nan's arrangement, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power spread into the cave. Ye Xiaosheng grabbed at the air with both hands, and a huge cannon barrel appeared in his hands. He then hoisted it onto his shoulder, and a bright light burst forth after a moment of preparation.

The bandits near the cave entrance were only at the level of two or three rings, and were completely unprepared. They only felt a flash of light before their eyes and then lost consciousness.

The power of this shot didn't stop there; the cave shook violently, and sand and soil fell from some of the less solid parts with a "whoosh".

The cave suddenly became noisy. With the help of Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing, Wang Nan was able to "see" that dozens of people had rushed out of the cave.

Wang Nan took the opportunity to glance at the soul guide detector in his hand, only to find that there was still a soul master who had stayed in the cave and had not come out.

It seems that this is the leader of the Hand of Death. He's probably observing the outcome here, and if he realizes he can't defeat them, he'll abandon his subordinates and run away. Wang Nan has encountered many soul masters like this during his previous surveillance missions.

Seeing that the bandits at the front had already walked out of the cave, Wang Nan spoke again.

"Start the attack, pull them out to fight, don't stay in one place for too long, and always be vigilant about your surroundings."

Wang Nan was mainly speaking to a few of the pre-selection team members. The inner court disciples had carried out at least ten surveillance missions, so they understood these things.

In an instant, all sorts of soul skills emerged one after another, and martial souls and soul rings of various colors flashed continuously, illuminating the entire hillside.
