Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 143: Eradicating the Evil Soul Masters Just Like That, That Was Absolutely Right!

Seeing the reassuring look in Elder Xuan's eyes, Wang Yan felt much more at ease.

"Everyone, prepare for battle. With Elder Xuan in the surveillance team, this so-called Death Hand bandit group is nothing but a rabble."

Wang Yan spoke with conviction, leading the Shrek disciples deeper into the cave.

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen glanced back at Elder Xuan, who was eating chicken and drinking wine outside the cave. Their eyes flickered slightly, revealing a complex expression. Remembering Elder Xuan's superb cultivation, they ultimately said nothing.

Beibei stroked her chin and thought seriously for a moment. Last time, she couldn't help Xuanzi because he was catching chickens. So this time, she said, "Teacher Wang Yan, Elder Xuan is at the cave entrance to ensure our safety."

"But the evil soul master possesses the cultivation of a five-ring soul king, and his methods are unpredictable and varied. The senior students on the main team are naturally not afraid, but what if the reserve team members are ambushed by his strange soul skills? Will Elder Xuan be able to protect them in time?"

Beibei believed in the strength of the inner court disciples, but the reserve team members were all at the third or fourth ring level, so there was still a considerable risk.

Previously, when he and Tang Ya were with Xuanzi's team to obtain soul rings, they encountered an extremely strange mantis-like soul beast, the Three-Soul Ghost Mantis... The Three-Soul Ghost Mantis's attacks were unpredictable, causing multiple disciples to be injured and one to die.

Back at the school, a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion was held. Faced with the ruthless Xuanzi who had voluntarily resigned, the elders advised Mu En to go through the motions. Mu En had no choice but to back down, at least the mess he had made was smaller.

He placed high hopes on Xuanzi, hoping that next time he led the team, he could reduce the death rate from one to zero, that is, zero casualties.

This time, Beibei felt the scene was strangely familiar, but this time Elder Xuan was not far from the team.

Tang Ya's face was full of seriousness: "Teacher Wang Yan, Elder Xuan isn't going in with us. Will he run off to catch something along the way?"

Wang Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he comforted her, "Beibei, Xiaoya, you know that Elder Xuan's cultivation level is as high as ninety-eight."

"His speed is so fast that he can traverse the entire cave in the blink of an eye. He will definitely protect everyone's lives in time. We must trust Elder Xuan."

Beibei and Tangya also wanted to believe in Elder Xuan, but the previous incident of hunting for spirit rings had slightly eroded their preconceived notion that Elder Xuan was extremely powerful.

However, the last time it was a soul beast that was nearly 100,000 years old, and most disciples were no match for it. This time, the bandit group they are about to face has a maximum cultivation level of only a five-ring Soul King. Any inner court disciple can easily deal with it, so there shouldn't be any mishaps.

Thinking this way, Beibei and Tangya felt a little more at ease.

Dai Yueheng revealed a relaxed smile: "Junior brothers and sisters, I've actually encountered quite a few evil soul masters at the Soul King level."

"In previous missions, we even encountered evil soul masters at the Soul Emperor level. Although the evil soul masters had strange methods, they could not escape the fate of being killed by our Shrek Supervision Team."

"We, the Shrek Seven Devils, are all top-tier Soul Masters of our level, possessing the ability to fight opponents of higher levels. Dealing with a mere five-ring Soul King is a piece of cake for us, isn't it?"

Dai Yueheng's words were met with strong agreement from Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, and others.

Seeing Tang Ya Beibei's worried expression, Ling Luochen's usually cold face softened slightly: "Evil Soul Masters are indeed unpredictable and unpredictable. Everyone should be on high alert and avoid being ambushed."

Both she and Ma Xiaotao knew Zhang Lexuan.

The first time Elder Xuan led Zhang Lexuan and her group of twelve to hunt for soul rings, they were separated by accident, which led to a tragedy, with only four of them surviving.

Beibei and Tangya knew about the second attempt to hunt for a spirit ring, which is why they were being so careful.

The reserve team students nodded repeatedly after hearing Ling Luochen's words. After all, their cultivation level was lower than that of a five-ring Soul King, and it was their first time personally facing a treacherous and cunning evil Soul Master. It would be a lie to say that they weren't a little scared.

Wang Yan naturally wouldn't say much about this, since it was definitely a good thing for his disciples to be more cautious.

Maintaining a disciplined formation, the inner courtyard disciples, emboldened by the fact that the bandit gang didn't even have a single Soul Emperor, volunteered to lead the charge, heading towards the bandit gang's lair deep within the cave.

Even if the leader of the bandit gang is considered exceptionally talented among evil soul masters, he is still... no matter how talented he is, he can't surpass the Shrek Seven Devils.

The Shrek Seven Devils have always been invincible among their peers, and with a Soul Emperor among their members, wouldn't they easily crush a five-ring evil soul master one level lower? No matter how bizarre their methods, they are nothing in the face of absolute power, and their overwhelming combat strength remains unaffected.

A soft rustling sound.

On the dark edge of the cave, pairs of eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and wisps of black mist floated in the air, gradually condensing into various strange shapes.

These bandit henchmen had already unleashed their martial spirits and launched a fierce attack.

A sense of foreboding washed over Wang Yan, and he shouted, "Everyone, attack! These evil spirit masters are guilty of heinous crimes and cannot be forgiven. We cannot let a single one escape, lest we cause future trouble!"

"No problem, leave it to us."

Ma Xiaotao's crimson eyeshadow became even brighter, and a fervent flame seemed to rise and burn in her eyes. A pair of fiery red phoenix wings appeared on her back, and she swiftly rushed forward.

"Zifeng, Haoxuan, go!" Dai Yueheng and the other two powerful attack-type Soul Kings were equally excited. Their Evil-Eyed White Tigers scattered sharp white light as they rushed towards the emerging evil Soul Masters.

These bandit gang members weren't very strong; their cultivation levels were generally around the third ring.

A fiery crimson phoenix and a sharp white tiger claw swept through the group of evil spirit masters, wreaking havoc and killing all the minions in its path.

Chen Zifeng's eyes were sharp as he controlled the Soul-Chasing Sword, instantly killing several evil soul masters. His tone was filled with confidence and disdain as he said, "Disappointing. I thought these evil soul masters from the bandit group would be ruthless. Is this all? They're too weak."

Yao Haoxuan's body grew enormous, and he swung his fists violently, easily smashing several evil soul masters to pieces. He chuckled and said, "That's right, I hadn't even warmed up yet, and I smashed two of them to pieces with one punch. Not satisfying enough! Bring on some tough stuff."

……

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the 1v1 sparring match between Meng Hongchen and Di Ruiqiu has ended. Di Ruiqiu will now challenge a god to a battle against Meng Hongchen, who is wearing a one-word battle armor.

The Silver Dragon King, acting as a substitute, only offered a casual defense, resulting in a draw.

Having witnessed his sister's power, Xiao Hongchen lunged forward and knelt down, crying as he begged his grandfather to forge him a set of battle armor as well. He then learned that it was forged by Yuhao and his sister together.

Xiao Hongchen suddenly realized, "So it was Yuhao who made it..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his tone suddenly shifting in surprise: "What? Yuhao made it?!"

Xiao Hongchen turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, his expression changing drastically. Wasn't Yuhao just a Soul Venerable? How could he create armor that could raise one's strength to the seventh ring? This was too unreasonable and unscientific.

Meng Hongchen, her hand encased in silver-white gauntlets, tossed a strand of hair and smiled brightly: "What? Brother, you don't believe me? My sparring session with Rachel just now wasn't fake, you know."

Xiao Hongchen glanced at his younger sister, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and wore a silver-blue armor with an imposing aura.

He couldn't help but shudder, looking at Meng Hongchen with immense distress: "Meng, did Yuhao and you create this together?"

"yes."

"Can it give you the combat power of a seventh-ring Soul Saint?"

"Uh-huh……"

Meng Hongchen nodded and smiled. She activated her soul power, and the surface of the battle armor covering her entire body shone with magnificent silver-white and ice-blue interwoven patterns.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen clutched his chest, looking half-dead; jealousy had completely distorted his appearance.

He looked at Meng Hongchen's armor again, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Little sister, do you think you match this armor?"

"This suit of armor is a priceless treasure. Little sister, you wearing it is a complete waste!"

The more Xiao Hongchen looked at his sister's battle armor, the more heartbroken he became, finding it hard to accept.

"Shut up, you're laughing!"

Meng Hongchen's hand, encased in battle armor, shaped like a hand blade, slashed directly at Xiao Hongchen's crown.

Xiao Hongchen's mind went blank for a moment, then her eyes cleared a bit: "Sister, you can't just take what Yuhao gives you."

"This is not right. Yuhao himself isn't wearing the One-Word Battle Armor, and you're wearing it so casually. Don't you feel even a little embarrassed?"

"Yes, that makes sense." Di Ruiqiu, wanting to spite Meng Hongchen, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what Meng Hongchen said.

Meng Hongchen glanced at Di Ruiqiu, knowing that the other woman was just envious of her. A smile appeared between her brows, but her battle armor exuded a chilling aura that made Meng Hongchen's heart tremble, and her tone was cold.

"Brother, do you really want to participate in the competition in a wheelchair?"

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her legs, covered in silver-white battle armor, gleamed with a long, slender curve, the silver-white metallic arc from her thighs shining down to her combat boots.

The ten-thousand-year soul ring beside him glowed faintly, giving off a posture that suggested he was about to kick someone to death with the "Ice and Fire Poison Dragon Drill".

Xiao Hongchen immediately chickened out and quickly changed the subject: "Little sister, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. Yuhao, do you think what I just said makes sense?"

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips: "There's really nothing to be embarrassed about between me and Sister Meng."

"Exactly." Meng Hongchen smiled broadly. "Yuhao is my boyfriend. We've even slept in the same bed. What's wrong with me wearing the battle armor that Yuhao specially made for me?"

Xiao Hongchen finally accepted this reality and sighed softly.

Although he couldn't give Yuhao what Meng could, that didn't stop him from shamelessly asking, "Yuhao, since I'm your future brother-in-law, could you make me a set of battle armor too?"

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to speak, a deep and powerful voice came from not far away.

"Master Hongchen, I heard that you're temporarily putting aside your research on that technology and preparing to accompany the team to protect the students during this competition. In that case, let's set off now."

The visitor was none other than Ma Rulong's grandfather, Old Ma.

Sensing Meng Hongchen's aura, Elder Ma suddenly exclaimed in shock, as if struck by lightning: "Holy crap, a seventh-ring Soul Saint!!"

……

In the caves of the Death Hand bandits in the Mingdu Mountains.

Gongyang Mo released his Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul, glanced at it, and frowned slightly, saying, "Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, you two are too far from the group. Don't act alone. Come back."

He used the spirit skill of the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul, and his body emitted a dazzling seven-colored light. Several strange colored halos appeared in the sky above all the disciples of the main team and the reserve team, and instantly fell and surrounded each of them.

"Xiaoya, just stay in the middle of the team and provide crowd control. Don't wander off," Beibei reminded her.

The reserve team's formation was centered around Tang Ya. This time, her third ring absorbed a thousand-year-old binding vine, following the path of life.

Her method of control was similar to that of her ancestor Tang San: she released several emerald green vines that wrapped around the waists of each team member, while the remaining vines attacked, entangled, and controlled the evil soul masters.

"Sanshi, you protect Xiaoya and Mengmiao. Dai Huabin, we'll deal with the survivors who didn't quite die at the hands of the senior students."

Meng Miao, who possesses the Serpent Staff Martial Soul, is Xu Sanshi's girlfriend. Because Xuanzi was dissatisfied with Jiang Nannan's behavior of taking six months of leave in a row, he canceled Jiang Nannan's status as a reserve team member.

With Xu Sanshi's help, Meng Miao defeated Xie Huanyue's team and became a reserve member.

With all seven members of the inner courtyard firing at full force, there was no need for the reserve team.

This time, without Huo Gua's mental detection, the group failed to detect the evil spirit master in advance.

However, these small fry don't pose much of a threat to them right now.

As a level 59 support-type Soul King, Gongyang Mo has taken on his responsibilities and has a certain command ability.

"Xiao Tao, Dai Yueheng, take care of these small fry as soon as possible. Why hasn't the Five-Ring Soul King mentioned in the intelligence shown up yet?"

Gongyang Mo felt a strange sense of unease.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

"White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

Ma Xiaotao unleashed a massive barrage of fiery red feathers, while Dai Yueheng unleashed dozens of sharp white beams of light, launching a wide-ranging attack that dealt a devastating blow to the bandits whose cultivation was merely at the third-ring Soul Venerable level.

Outside the cave, Elder Xuan was shaking his wine gourd, completely drunk.

"The mission I specifically chose to eliminate evil spirit masters is truly excellent. It has a moderate level of difficulty and is suitable for both the main team and the reserve team."

Xuanzi's lips curled slightly as he murmured leisurely, "Shouldn't it have been the right decision to send these little guys here on a mission..."

"I'm about to participate in the Soul Master Competition. After being baptized by the blood of annihilating evil Soul Masters, my fighting spirit has been greatly stimulated. This way, I can kill on the field, ah, I mean, cooperate with the team more easily."

Xuanzi was in a great mood and drank another mouthful of wine. In his drunken state, he almost blurted out what was on his mind.

Shrek Academy has always adhered to the principle of magnanimity, only fighting the most honorable battles, and rarely committing heinous acts such as killing on the field.

"According to the intelligence provided by Duke White Tiger, the leader of this bandit group is only a mere fifth-ring Soul King, and he can't cause any trouble."

"The entire bandit gang is like locusts in front of me, the Gluttonous Douluo, utterly insignificant."

In Xuanzi's view, Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan from the inner courtyard of the school are all highly talented offensive Soul Kings. For them, defeating a five-ring evil Soul Master like him is a piece of cake.
