Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, I'll hand it over to the nation.

On the other side, on a giant ship on the east coast.

The atmosphere in the makeshift medical room on the ship was somber.

The members of the Japanese scholars' exchange group were either lying down or sitting, all with pale faces and cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

They all maintained the same awkward posture—hunched over, their hands tightly covering their groins, with bright red blood seeping through their fingers, which even the gauze could not hide.

The strong smell of disinfectant couldn't mask the faint stench of blood.

A dozen or so female nurses accompanying the group bustled about, performing hemostasis, bandaging, and pain relief.

"Baka yarou!"

Ichiro Koi lay on a makeshift stretcher, his body convulsing uncontrollably from the excruciating pain.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with extreme pain and ferocious rage. "Who! Who did this?! I'll kill him! I'll kill their whole family!"

Koi Ichiro's roar aggravated his wound, causing him to gasp in pain and curl up like a shrimp, only able to breathe heavily.

The Japanese scholars' exchange group has dedicated security personnel, who are highly skilled and far more capable than some elite special forces soldiers.

However, they were all killed one by one.

Among them are two Naruto ninjas.

A female intelligence agent, with willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She wore a light pink kimono with a brocade sash around her waist, and her long hair was styled into an elegant and refined bun at the back of her head. She walked slowly, her voice neither hurried nor slow:

"Lieutenant Colonel Koi, ninjas are already at the level of extraordinary power! The Great Xia must have secretly dispatched agents from Bureau 749's Dragon Group!"

"Reiko Hayakawa! Since you received the information, why didn't you tell us sooner? Don't you know the inhumane treatment we, these esteemed scholars and scientists, have suffered!"

Koi Ichiro flew into a rage, and as he roared, the wound in his groin tore open again, causing him to wince in pain.

Other Japanese scholars and scientists were even more ashen-faced; losing a man's most precious organ was more painful than death for them.

The female intelligence officer remained indifferent: "Ichiro Koi, you are a lieutenant colonel in the Ume Agency and the Army! I, Reiko Hayakawa, am a major in the Take Agency. There is no specific superior-subordinate relationship between us!"

"Why did Bureau 749 send the Dragon Group? Isn't it because of your reckless behavior? How dare you spout such nonsense in the capital of Great Xia? You're even secretly organizing people to do things that will get you killed! Do you think Bureau 749 of Great Xia is just for show?"

Hayakawa Reiko scolded.

Ichiro Oi has a special identity: he is a high-ranking spy for the Ume Agency, a lieutenant colonel in the army, and a second-level professor at Sakura University!

Meanwhile, Hayakawa Reiko, a spy for the Bamboo Agency, was also aware of Ichiro Oi's other hidden identity:

Ichiro Oi used his personal assets to invest in a large adult film company in Japan called "Tokyo Seiki," becoming one of the top ten shareholders in the company.

In Japan, countless girls have been ruined by this Ichiro Koi.

As for the Japanese scholars and scientists who accompanied Ichiro Oi, they were not simply scholars and scientists; they were all "bloodthirsty madmen" who participated in numerous cruel "human experiments" and "live experiments," committing heinous crimes in hidden areas across multiple continents.

No fewer than several hundred people died from their cruel experiments.

"You bastards! 749th Bureau of the Great Xia Dynasty, Dragon Group agents! I will make them pay! At the Global Pharmaceutical Expo, I will definitely win!"

Koi Ichiro let out a "dog-like" bark.

Then, Ichiro Koi glanced fiercely at the cold and sophisticated Bamboo Agency spy, Reiko Hayakawa, beside him, and a flame ignited in his heart.

"You idiot! Hayakawa Reiko, you arrogant woman, you kept quiet about what you knew! The film company I invested in is incredibly wealthy, and I'll make you an actress there! Then you'll suffer terribly!"

Koiichiro thought darkly to himself.

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Notting City:

Tang Yi's cultivation progressed steadily.

After obtaining his first spirit ring, with the amplification of the two-thousand-year-old spirit beast [Azure Crane], Tang Yi's spirit power cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds!

The vigorous life force carried by the spirit ring greatly nourished the Blue Silver Grass martial soul!

In just half a month, Tang Yi advanced two levels and became a level 12 Soul Master.

During this time, Tang Yi also learned from others that Yu Xiaogang had taken Tang San away from Notting Academy for a period of special training!

Xiao Wu, the leader of Dormitory 7, was bored without Tang San as her playmate, so she came to cause trouble for Tang Yi again.

In Xiao Wu's opinion, Tang Yi, the younger brother, did not completely listen to his older brother Tang San. He talked back to Tang San several times and even encouraged Tang San to eat barbecued rabbit meat, which was really despicable.

Xiao Wu's strength has also improved rapidly recently, rising from level fourteen to level fifteen!

As evening approached, Xiao Wu sneered and stopped Tang Yi.

"Tang Yi, kowtow and admit your mistakes right now, call me 'Sister Xiao Wu,' and become my subordinate, and I'll forgive and forget what happened before!"

Xiao Wu crossed her arms and said proudly.

In Xiao Wu's opinion, she was a level 15 agility-type soul master, so dealing with Tang Yi, a weak soul master with only level 1 innate soul power, was a piece of cake.

"Get out of the way!"

Tang Yi's face turned cold.

Is this 100,000-year-old soul beast causing trouble again?

Do you really think you're easy to bully?

In the original novel, Xiao Wu is very competitive. During their time at Notting Academy, after Tang San defeated Xiao Wu, she repeatedly refused to accept it and challenged Tang San to a duel.

"Hmph, last time I didn't use my Martial Soul! With the academy teachers and people from the Spirit Hall around, I couldn't go all out! Today, you're just that lucky!"

After speaking, Xiao Wu softly shouted, "Martial Soul—Soft Bone Rabbit!"

"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows, said no more nonsense, and with a light step, her figure blurred, rushing straight towards Tang Yi with a pink afterimage.

Tang Yi chuckled lightly: "You have soul skills, but I don't?"

"Martial Soul - Blue Silver Grass!"

Tang Yi summoned his martial soul and then unleashed his first soul skill:

"【Longevity and Vitality Protection】!"

With the amplification of its soul skill, the Blue Silver Grass's vitality is greatly enhanced!

A loud "bang!" rang out quickly!

Xiao Wu's "Waist Bow" landed solidly on the vine net formed by the Blue Silver Grass.

The expected scene of the vines breaking did not happen. The deep blue vines were extremely resilient. They simply dented backward in an amazing arc, dissipating the force layer by layer, and then suddenly rebounded!

Xiao Wu felt an irresistible force coming from her feet, and her body was uncontrollably thrown backward.

"You actually have a spirit ring? And a thousand-year spirit ring at that?"

"Moreover, the fluctuations in soul power are at least level twelve!"

"Third Brother, didn't I say you're a useless Soul Master?"

Xiao Wu barely managed to steady herself, utterly astonished.
