Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1054 A Pioneer of the Times (6K)

Many people looked at Xu Sanshi, who gave a wry smile and explained his background.

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan sighed: "I never expected that after our surprise attack on the Sun Moon Empire, which aimed to behead Xu Tianran, the Sun Moon Empire would quickly follow suit and carry out a similar beheading against the Douling Empire."

"Even though the school was aware of this and sent us to intercept them, we were still a step too late."

When they saw Lingdou City, they already knew the answer in their hearts.

From the direction of Lingdou City, what they could see most clearly was the thick smoke rising into the sky.

The thick smoke couldn't have been produced by just one or two fires; it looked as if the entire Lingdou City was ablaze, which was truly terrifying.

Intense fluctuations of soul power continued to emanate from that direction; the closer one got, the more one could hear booming sounds.

At that time, they knew the exact location of Lingdou City, but they did not know where the Lingdou City Palace was.

But judging from the current situation, the entire Lingdou City seems to be ablaze. Is there any chance that the imperial palace will be spared?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

The Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps launched a surprise attack, like two sharp knives piercing through the fragile defenses of the Douling Empire.

Whether they were royalty or commoners, all were killed or wounded in the attack, with less than one in ten surviving.

Although the Douling Empire had Shrek Academy's high-altitude detection soul tool for early warning, internal power struggles were severe, with each faction hoping that the Sun Moon Empire would muddy the waters and allow them to seize power.

As it turned out, the Sun Moon Empire was not one to hesitate. It marched 800 li at top speed, without attacking cities or seizing mines, heading straight for the imperial city. Only then did the various forces within the Douling Empire realize that the Sun Moon Empire was not after any small city at all.

If the other side is only targeting a certain city, these nobles within the imperial city, these princes with the right to inherit the throne, would be more than happy to make the fire bigger.

But when the Sun Moon Empire's knife was truly aimed at their hearts, their greedy pig brains realized just how foolish it was to still be fighting amongst themselves at this point.

Even Xu Sanshi, upon learning that the Douling Empire had discovered the Sun Moon Empire's offensive through a high-altitude detection soul tool, found that various forces were still arguing and shirking responsibility, couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

These damned nobles died because of their own stupidity, so there's nothing to say about them. But the people of Douling City are so innocent, yet they have to be buried with these fat-headed, profit-driven damned nobles!

Ma Xiaotao was so furious that she wished she could burn the few surviving ministers in front of her to death.

These are all parasites and rats, what right do they have to live?

If the Douling Empire had sought help from Shrek Academy the moment it discovered the Sun Moon Empire's surprise attack, it wouldn't have been impossible for them to stop the Sun Moon Empire's two Beast King Soul Master Corps with Shrek Academy's Soul Master Corps and various new Soul Guidance Devices!

However, the rule of the Douling Empire was too bloated and too sluggish. Every level of the country had its own ulterior motives. Even after the Tianhun Empire was destroyed, it still failed to make them take the terror of the Sun and Moon Empire seriously.

On the contrary, the fact that the Sun Moon Empire had been recuperating for the past six months gave them the illusion that they could appease the situation, and they began to pay more attention to the internal struggles.

No matter how big the Sun Moon Empire's appetite is, at most it can just cede 30% of its territory, right?

This is the opinion of most of the anti-domination forces in the Douling Empire. As for the emperor within the Douling Empire, he doesn't even have a titled Douluo under his command, and he has long been a puppet on a string.

Having witnessed the collapse of a corrupt and backward group, the members of the Shrek Inner Court Special Forces Team found it difficult to even feel sorrow for their misfortune or anger at their incompetence.

Interest groups that are busy fighting amongst themselves even when facing a formidable enemy have long since become obsolete.

People must help themselves first, then God will help them. The Douling Empire, busy with internal strife and not even sending out information, has clearly not taken this saying seriously.

"What do we do next?"

Xu Sanshi looked at his senior sister Zhang Lexuan and Wang Dong'er beside her.

"We couldn't stop the Evil Monarch Soul Master Legion and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion when they came, but they want to go back. We can't let them go back so easily."

A glint of light flashed in Wang Dong'er's eyes.

The reason why the Sun Moon Empire beheaded Dou Ling was precisely to throw the Dou Ling Empire into chaos, preventing them from intervening in the war and allowing them to focus their attention on invading the Star Luo Empire.

The feint attack was obvious to everyone, which is why Shrek Academy only sent their younger generation to support the Douling Empire this time.

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy's Soul Master Corps should have already arrived within the Star Luo Empire's borders.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao let out a delicate shout, and thick flames erupted from her body. Her true form as a fire phoenix soared into the sky, charging towards the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps, which had not yet completely evacuated outside the city.

Ma Xiaotao's attack was too sudden and too violent. As a titled Douluo of the extreme fire level, she unleashed her full power, and her strength was even comparable to that of an ordinary super Douluo. In her Martial Soul True Form state, she broke through the defensive position of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps in an instant.

"You're still so immature."

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan gave a bitter smile. A bright red 100,000-year soul ring flashed, and a blood moon rose.

Two Title Douluo suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and they were Title Douluo whose instantaneous burst of power could rival that of a Super Douluo, throwing the Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire into chaos.

In addition, the other students from Shrek Academy's inner court also displayed their prowess. More than a dozen Shrek students, all at least at the Soul Saint level and equipped with their Soul Tools, charged into the formation, instantly unleashing unimaginable destructive power.

The combination of the most outstanding Soul Master seed and Soul Guidance Device on the Douluo Continent has finally blossomed into the most dazzling fruit. The Soul Master, whose comprehensive combat power can rival that of a Soul Douluo, and the Soul Spirit, which can fight independently, have begun to wreak havoc on all sides as soon as they appeared.

Huo Yuhao had been gradually working towards the fusion of the Soul Guidance System and the Martial Soul System for many years, and this sudden attack proved to be the best answer.

While soul tools cannot amplify the strengths of these soul masters, they can compensate for each person's weaknesses. They can make offensive soul masters faster, agile soul masters have stronger attack power and attack range, and control soul masters have multiple defensive methods so they don't have to worry about being attacked at close range.

The golden light represented by the invincible shield shone brightly, and fear appeared in the eyes of the soul masters of the two soul master groups.

Their countless training sessions on contingency plans to defend against Soul Masters breaching their lines were utterly useless against these heavily armed Shrek monsters!

At this moment, Shrek Academy truly stood at the forefront of the development of Soul Masters once again, becoming the trendsetter who led the Soul Master world.
