Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Chapter 159 The Beast Tide Arrives!

Elder Xuan was a top-tier expert himself, so he naturally understood what this change meant for Elder Mu. The significant loss of his life force would inevitably further shorten Elder Mu's lifespan!

"Xuanzi, sit down," Elder Mu said calmly, his aged eyes revealing no emotional fluctuation.

Elder Xuan hurriedly sat down beside Elder Mu, looking at him with shock, and said, "This shouldn't be! When we left, your condition was relatively stable, how could you have suddenly depleted so much of your life force?"

Old Mu sighed and said, "It's alright, I won't die anytime soon. It's just..."

"That child, Xiao Tao, ran away." Old Mu said this with some difficulty.

"What?" Elder Xuan was taken aback.

"How is that possible? Isn't she trapped within your seal? Besides, even if she had the ability to break through the seal, with you in the Sea God Pavilion and all the elders present, how could she possibly escape?"

Moon smiled wryly and said, "It was my carelessness."

"After you left, the academy was attacked. The enemy was very powerful and there were many of them."

"In order to protect the students, the elders and I had to go out to fight the enemy, and that's when Xiaotao disappeared."

"Noumenon Sect?"

"wrong."

Xuanzi's first thought was the Body Sect. There was no way around it; Du Busi had been appearing in front of him far too often lately.

He couldn't help but think that Poisoner was behind everything.

Moreover, the Body Sect does indeed possess this strength.

However, upon further reflection, he realized it was impossible, because he had encountered Poison Undying in the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the time, he was leading the elite of the Body Sect as if he were about to do something big, so they couldn't spare another powerful group of Soul Masters to attack Shrek simultaneously.

Mu En waved his hand and said, "It's not the Body Sect. Although he has some grudges with us, Poison Undying still has a sense of the big picture and wouldn't do such a thing for personal grudges."

"At that time, there were eleven evil soul masters, four of whom were titled Douluo above level ninety."

"One of them gave me a particularly familiar feeling, but he was hidden under a black robe and did not reveal his martial spirit."

"He only used soul power to fight me, yet he was still in complete control of me, seemingly very familiar with me. Even so, he was the strongest among these dozen or so people."

A complex look flashed in Moon's eyes, as if he had guessed the identity of the newcomer, but was still somewhat unsure.

Upon hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi's expression changed: "Eleven evil soul masters, and one of them can fight you using only soul power."

For a moment, he was somewhat flustered. Where did these people come from? How come they were all stronger than him?

"My worst fears have come true. They now have a Title Douluo-level expert. I'm afraid they'll wreak havoc on the continent in the future."

Mu En sighed and looked at Xuan Zi with a complicated expression.

He felt he was about to die, and after he left, Shrek Academy never had a top-tier fighter again.

He sighed inwardly. Well, this was the only way. Even if it was a forced upgrade, it was better than the current level of ninety-seven.

A sense of determination flashed through his mind, and Mu En made a silent resolution.

Xuanzi said, "By the way, Elder Mu, speaking of evil soul masters, I also encountered one in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Xuanzi recounted his encounter with Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest and the news of the ferocious beasts' rampage.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the elders changed.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but ask, "Elder Xuan, how did Huo Yuhao acquire the abilities of an evil soul master?"

"Even evil spirit masters don't improve this quickly, do they?"

Yan Shaozhe still couldn't believe it; before the competition ended, Huo Yuhao was only at the Soul Venerable level.

He has only been away from Shrek Academy for a few months, and he has already reached level 50 in soul power. He only needs to acquire one more soul ring to become a Soul King.

Even in Shrek Academy, where geniuses are as numerous as hairs on a cow, this speed is quite explosive.

Xuanzi said, "I'm not entirely sure either. It must be that his martial soul mutated, which gave him the ability to absorb other people's soul power."

"Now is not the time to discuss this. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"The Body Sect must have done something to anger the ferocious beasts inside. We should take precautions."

Upon hearing this, Mu En's expression darkened slightly: "Did they go in to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts again?"

Xuanzi said, "That should be the case, otherwise we would never have angered the ferocious beasts, and we probably would have hunted down quite a few."

"I'm worried they'll unleash a beast tide."

Upon hearing about the beast tide, the elders could no longer contain themselves.

Regardless of the final outcome, Shrek Academy will undoubtedly suffer a severe blow.

"Make arrangements so that we can be fully prepared regardless of whether the beast tide occurs or not."

"We can respond promptly should the soul beasts attack."

"Yes"

The group responded and then slowly left.

A month has passed just like that.

Taking advantage of this time, Han Yu fused the Poison Undying with her own soul bone.

Emerald Swan Left Leg Bone: Increases total soul power and vitality by 100%, but has no soul skills, only increased attributes.

Han Yu didn't care about this; he already had enough skills, and he wouldn't need to use too many.

On the contrary, increasing his soul power would be very good for him, as that is exactly what he lacks.

After the amplification, his total soul power has doubled.

This significantly compensated for his somewhat rare attributes.

Sustained combat capability can also be greatly improved.

Some high-energy-consuming skills can now be used freely even without Hyotei's help.

Just as Han Yu was getting used to her newfound strength, the beast tide finally arrived.

Shrek Academy.

At this moment, the entire academy was filled with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, a deafening roar. It was still morning, and the sky outside was darkening at an alarming rate.

Not far away, starting from the Starry Sky Forest, a neat expanse of black was rapidly spreading towards Shrek City like a massive army pressing in.

It was as if a curtain was being drawn up in the sky, threatening to darken the entire world.

At the same time, a bright green firework shot into the sky and exploded high in the air, transforming into Shrek's signature image, its green light spreading out and dazzlingly bright.

The teachers who were giving lessons couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. This signal represented not only danger, but also a powerful enemy launching a large-scale invasion.

What exactly happened?

A question flashed through everyone's mind.

"The teachers evacuated the students, and all the inner court disciples went to the south city wall."

Just then, an aged voice rang out; the speaker was none other than Xuanzi.

Just as his voice fell, dozens of figures flew out from the inner courtyard at the same time, including old men and young students.

What was particularly eye-catching was the woman leading the young inner court disciples, flying at the very front.

The woman was extremely beautiful, wearing a pale yellow dress, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, clearly worried about what was happening.

Shrek City, South Wall.

Since its founding, the South City has always had the highest walls and the most heavily fortified defenses in the entire city.

The reason is simple: this direction faces the Star Dou Great Forest.

Especially after the riot in the Star Dou Great Forest, the southern city wall was further reinforced.

The city wall was 15 zhang high, 20 zhang thick, and more than 5 kilometers wide, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of soldiers at the same time.

The pitch-black sky was spreading from the south.

At this moment, the black figure seemed to slow down its advance, but the oppressive force emanating from the sky still made people feel breathless.

On the city walls, the Shrek City defense forces were busy at work.

Various defensive soul tools are being deployed in full swing.

Don't underestimate Shrek Academy just because it's an academy; it has its own city defense army.

The army numbered ten thousand, thirty percent of whom were Soul Masters, and elite Soul Masters at that.

Because they were all disciples of Shrek Academy's outer court, although they did not pass the entrance exam for the inner court, it is undeniable that their talents were also extremely outstanding.

After all, being able to enter Shrek Academy is enough to prove their extraordinary talent.

Such an army, composed of elite soul masters, would be an extremely powerful force in any country.

When they first arrived from the Sun and Moon Continent, Shrek Academy sent out an army of only three thousand men, which managed to hold off the Sun and Moon Empire's army for fifteen days.

It's easy to imagine how powerful it is.

From then on, the Shrek Army became famous, and every Soul Master aimed to join the Shrek Army.

Now, the entire Shrek City has a population of ten thousand.

Although they were all pale-faced, their eyes shone with unwavering determination.

On the city wall, one after another soul-guided cannons have been moved up.

While they don't have any high-level ones, the Soul Guidance System is still capable of producing some low-level ones.

The quantity and quality are both very backward.

But even so, it's enough to hold off some weaker soul beasts.

The south wall was the main defensive position, so the largest number of troops were stationed there.

The other three city walls were very small, with only a small number of Soul Masters sent to guard them.

The inner disciples of Shrek Academy were also busy, with figures quickly moving from the east of the city towards the south city wall.

The lord of Shrek was an old man, and standing beside him was a middle-aged man.

"What a stroke of luck! I never imagined that I'd encounter a beast tide so close to stepping down. Really..."

"How many years has it been since Shrek City has witnessed a war?"

The city lord looked at the middle-aged man beside him, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

"Lord, this beast tide is about to erupt, and it seems it won't last long. Are we able to withstand it?"

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Shi Xing's forehead; the looming darkness in the distance gave him a considerable sense of oppression.

The city lord said, "You can rest assured about that; our Shrek Academy is no pushover."

In the distance, the enemy's tracks were gradually becoming visible. How many forces on the entire continent could cause such a celestial phenomenon, and so brazenly launch a massive attack on Shrek City's army?

Only the power of a nation could generate such a force. But why would the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent take action against Shrek City? So, besides the power of a nation, there is only one other place, and it is a place far more terrifying than any of the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent.

The army there, while lacking high intelligence, possessed a powerful fighting instinct. They were inherently bloodthirsty and filled with hatred for humanity. Almost every one of them was a powerful warrior. They were nearly inexhaustible, and behind them stood the strongest warriors on the continent.

Yes, this terrifying force is none other than the Star Dou Great Forest, a place that Shrek Academy's neighbor has had countless entanglements with, and which almost every Shrek Academy student has set foot in!

The beast tide is coming!

In the distance, a dark mass of various soul beasts was slowly approaching Shrek City. They were moving at a slow but orderly pace.

They were arranged in a fan shape, almost in sync with the dark clouds in the sky. Faintly, accompanied by a gentle breeze, the faint fishy smell emanating from the soul beasts had already reached the top of Shrek City.

Although Shi Xing was already a Title Douluo and could be considered one of the strongest people in the world, he still couldn't help but lick his lips and secretly gasp when he saw such a massive beast tide.

The vanguard of the soul beast army was less than ten kilometers away from the south of Shrek City. They continued their steady advance, moving slowly forward amidst the spreading dark clouds overhead.

The closer the distance, the greater the pressure on the walls of Shrek City.

Just as the city lord Alexander was in the midst of the commotion, figures descended from the sky and landed on the south city wall.

The leader, a tall man, was holding a chicken leg and walked solemnly toward the battlements.

Following behind him were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the deans of various departments.

Behind them followed more than forty inner court students from Shrek Academy.

Although they looked young, their auras were extremely powerful, and each of them was at least at the Soul King level.

As for the disciples of the outer court, they were assigned to the other three less dangerous sections of the city wall, where they were led by their teachers.

Xuanzi gazed into the distance, his expression growing even more grim.

He cursed Poison Undying in his heart, wondering why he had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest for no reason. Now look what happened, he's been blamed for this.

The Body Sect caused the trouble, but Shrek Academy was the one that got beaten up.

"I don't know if we can withstand the pressure this time. Elder Mu's time is almost up, so we can't make a move easily. And the strongest of the other elders and I is only level 97."

Although he didn't know why the Star Dou Great Forest had launched a beast tide, his intuition told him that it was definitely related to Poison Undying.

Because they were the ones who caused the last beast tide.

Unexpectedly, the beast tide returned after only a short time.

This made him wonder if building Shrek here was a mistake.
