Xuan Zi's Disdain: No Need for Soul Tools!

Tang San never expected this.

Huo Yuhao, whom he had always thought posed no threat to him, had unknowingly begun his grand plan to become a god in secret.

Unfortunately, thanks to the "Divine Concealment" technique, Tang San was unable to deduce the result no matter what he did.

Therefore, for Tang San at this moment...

Although he could still feel an extremely eerie sense of fear rising within him.

But no matter how he deduced the results, he still couldn't achieve anything.

In the end, Tang San had no choice but to give up.

He exhaled and said:

"It seems I've been working too hard lately."

"Number of simulations have failed to produce any results."

"This only proves that no mutation occurred."

So I have nothing to worry about.

He simply stopped thinking about it.

He squinted slightly and sat down on his God King chair to rest.

On the other side...

Douluo Continent, above Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao naturally had no idea, because Tang San had already sensed his actions from the moment they began.

However, thanks to the help of "Divine Concealment," Tang San was able to continue deducing the outcome.

He had already arrived at the gate of the Shrek Academy.

Although Huo Yuhao and the others refused Xuan Zi's invitation to Shrek Supervision Group yesterday.

But they are still members of the Shrek Academy after all.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao was also tasked with participating in the competition.

Therefore, they still need to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

Therefore, they naturally had to gather at the Shrek Academy gate as Xuan Zi had instructed.

Then, they headed straight for their destination – the Star Luo Empire.

only.

When leaving Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi casually had Wang Yan take out two rings and hand them to Bei Bei and He Caitou.

The ring is beautiful; the ring setting is made of silver-white metal and is set with a turquoise gemstone the size of a fingernail.

Seeing that Wang Yan had taken out the ring, Xuan Zi said to Bei Bei He Caitou:

"You two should keep this safe. It's the mark of us Shrek Supervisor. Only we have it. Later, you'll need to drip a drop of blood onto the ring so it will be connected to your bloodline."

"As long as we are one of our own, we can use our own Supervisor's Ring to check whether the other person's Supervisor's Ring is being used by the person in question to confirm their identity."

"The Supervisor's Ring is also a Storage Soul Tool, containing a complete set of equipment specifically for the Overseer. You can take a look now."

"We have our own special clothes, masks, cloaks, and SOS Signal Flare. When carrying out surveillance missions, we can't let anyone see our faces, so we need masks."

"And most importantly, it's a signal flare, which is unique to us. Once any observer encounters danger and releases it, any Shrek Academy student who sees it, whether from the Inner Court or Outer Court, will rush to their aid immediately. Its effectiveness is far greater than you can imagine."

At this point, Xuan Zi continued, "Now I'm going to talk about your first surveillance mission."

Xuan Zi originally intended to continue speaking.

But when they heard this, Xiao Xiao and the others on the side were already completely confused.

They couldn't help but ask Xuan Zi, "Wait, Xuan Zi, weren't we supposed to be participating in the All-Continent Number One Soul Master Competition? How did it turn into a mission for the Supervision Group?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi snorted coldly, "That's right! We're going to participate in the number one Soul Master Competition in the entire continent."

"But before participating, we also need to complete another task for the Supervision Group."

At this point, Xuan Zi said in an annoyed tone.

"Of course, I've said it before, Shrek Academy won't make things difficult for you students."

"So, you cowards who are unwilling to join the Supervision Group, just watch from the sidelines and see how our wise and mighty Supervision Group members punish evil and promote good."

After giving a cold snort, Xuan Zi said no more.

Xiao Xiao and the others felt somewhat annoyed upon hearing this.

Their opinions about Xuan Zi have really grown stronger.

Because the latter is a typical example of someone who wants to have their cake and eat it too.

It was clearly stated that we would not interfere with their choices.

But why did you call them cowards just now?

Therefore, Xiao Xiao and the others felt somewhat annoyed.

However, they also knew that Xuan Zi held a high position of power and that he was extremely strong.

They are definitely not someone that Xiao Xiao and the others can contend with.

Therefore, everyone had no choice but to suppress their anger.

"Let's ignore them and continue talking."

Xuan Zi snorted coldly and continued speaking to Bei Bei, He Caitou, and the group of Inner Court students:

"Now let's talk about the task."

"Our Supervision Group this time is to go to a mountainous region bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire to find and kill a group of bandits."

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament is fast approaching. Therefore, we must complete this task within three to four days."

"This gang of bandits is extremely vicious and cunning. They specialize in intercepting and killing merchants traveling between the two countries, leaving no survivors."

"It can be said that they committed all kinds of atrocities, including arson, murder, looting, and murder."

"The terrain above where they were hiding was complex and steep, and there were many caves in the area, which was not conducive to the army's attack."

"What's most disgusting is that part of the mountainous area where these bastards live belongs to the Sun Moon Empire, and the other part belongs to the Star Luo Empire."

"Under these circumstances, it would be difficult for the two countries to carry out joint military operations. That's why they specifically asked Shrek Academy to take action."

Xuan Zi continued to speak to the crowd.

However, what he didn't know was that his words had actually revealed some information.

This operation was commissioned by both countries, so it can't be done for nothing, can it?

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao hadn't noticed this before.

At this moment

After Huo Yuhao's reminder last time, they keenly noticed this detail, and their gazes toward Xuan Zi immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

But Xuan Zi, unaware of what everyone was thinking, continued speaking.

"This band of thieves calls themselves Death God's Messenger, and their leader is said to be a rather powerful Evil Spirit Master. So we can't afford to be careless."

"When we encounter them, it's best to leave no one alive."

"But you two, Bei Bei and He Caitou, don't need to worry too much."

"It was said that you were invited to participate together, but this time, a group of Inner Court Disciple who are senior members will also be participating."

"They are all veterans, so you can just learn from them and you won't encounter any danger."

He glanced at Ma Xiaotao to the side and said, "The next task is entirely in Ma Xiaotao's hands. This is a test for you, and I won't make a move easily, so you yourselves need to remain highly vigilant."

After saying this Xuan Zi disappeared immediately.

Although Ma Xiaotao had many grievances against Xuan Zi.

But since it was the academy's arrangement, she had no choice but to comply.

Led by Ma Xiaotao, the group continued to move forward.

They used Flying Soul Tool together to travel.

Furthermore, Shrek Academy was not too far from the target location, so by evening of that day, the group had successfully covered two-thirds of the journey.

They got along very well throughout the journey.

Although everyone was wary of Xuan Zi's power when he was Xuan Zi, they dared not have much interaction with Huo Yuhao and the others.

But after all, none of them had any grudge against Huo Yuhao.

Moreover, they all clearly understood that Huo Yuhao was a rising star worth befriending.

Therefore, once Xuan Zi was gone, they naturally started chatting warmly with Huo Yuhao.

The atmosphere among the group warmed up quickly, but looking at the time, it was already getting late.

It was lunchtime, and after traveling all afternoon, everyone was getting hungry. So they all decided to stop and rest for a while, and then continue their journey after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

They found a safe area and started a fire.

At times like these, Huo Yuhao's extraordinary skills naturally come into play a significant role.

After gathering some wild vegetables and hunting a few wild Soul Beast in the forest, the group used whatever materials they could find.

Huo Yuhao immediately took out a small knife and started working.

"Little brother Yuhao, do you need any help?"

Gongyang Mo originally wanted to do it himself.

Although his cooking skills are average, at least the food he makes is edible.

Huo Yuhao was so young, he didn't really think Huo Yuhao had any extraordinary cooking skills.

What Gongyang Mo did not expect was...

Once Huo Yuhao got started, he displayed his extremely powerful swordsmanship.

It was just a small knife, but Huo Yuhao wielded it with unparalleled skill.

Upon seeing this, Gongyang Mo took the initiative to retreat.

"Haha, everyone can rest assured that Yuhao is good at cooking."

"You'll definitely be satisfied!"

Xiao Xiao and the others had all witnessed Huo Yuhao's culinary skills.

Therefore, they all expressed their thoughts at this moment.

Hearing this, everyone became even more excited.

They waited there for a moment, and soon they smelled the strong aroma coming from the air, making their mouths water.

Wow! Yuhao, your cooking skills are amazing! I'll order it!

Gongyang Mo couldn't help but speak up.

Even Xi Xi couldn't help but give Huo Yuhao a thumbs up.

Because it smells so good!

Moreover, Huo Yuhao made the food under very limited conditions.

Since I'm currently traveling, I don't have any fancy seasonings, so I just have simple salt.

Even so, Huo Yuhao was still able to make a large batch of delicious food.

This is why everyone was full of praise for it.

Huo Yuhao quickly finished making dinner.

Then, they packed the food in pre-washed leaves and invited everyone to start eating.

The more they ate, the more satisfied they became, praising Huo Yuhao's culinary skills.

However, Huo Yuhao also took out some Soul Tool at this time.

Although these Soul Tool are not considered to be of a very high level.

However, their advantage lies in their effectiveness, and they are all Defense System Soul Tool.

In fact, Huo Yuhao originally did not intend to take out these Soul Tool.

After all, he wasn't very familiar with these Inner Court students.

But upon closer reflection, after getting to know them, he realized that they actually quite suited his taste.

Furthermore, even if these Inner Court academies don't care, can he really ignore Bei Bei, He Caitou, and Ma Xiaotao Tao?

These are his old acquaintances.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao simply took out these Soul Tool and said, "Everyone, these are some Soul Tool that I made before."

"The specific functions include detection and defense."

"Although they are all just fourth-tier Soul Tool."

"But having these things for self-defense can help you prepare for unforeseen circumstances."

"Furthermore, no matter how strong Soul Master is, without Soul Tool to protect them, they are still just a mortal body."

"So I think it's better to play it safe."

After speaking, Huo Yuhao handed over all the Soul Tool he had taken out to everyone.

Ma Xiaotao was naturally the first to go and pick them up.

Although she was portrayed as very arrogant in the original work, she also looked down on the so-called Soul Tool.

But now, Huo Yuhao has completely changed her mind.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao has personally experienced the effects of the Soul Tool.

Therefore, she naturally wouldn't refuse when Huo Yuhao kindly offered to take out the Soul Tool.

She immediately took out one of the Defensive Soul Tool and then asked Huo Yuhao how to use it.

After figuring out how to use this Defense System Soul Tool

Ma Xiaotao infused her Soul Power into it.

Suddenly, a transparent defensive barrier appeared.

She did a simple test of the barrier's capabilities.

Although it couldn't withstand his full-force attack, it could withstand the first four Soul Skill.

This is enough to demonstrate the remarkable capabilities of this defensive barrier.

And most importantly is

This thing is actually instantaneous.

Therefore, it can solve some special situations in many cases.

"Everyone should bring one, just in case."

Therefore, after discovering the benefits of this Defense System Soul Tool, Ma Xiaotao immediately suggested that everyone equip it together.

Everyone had already witnessed Ma Xiaotao's test, so they were actually quite interested in Huo Yuhao's Defense System Soul Tool.

Therefore, they immediately nodded and said:

"Yuhao very much for the gift, Junior Yuhao!"

They all took the Soul Tool at the same time.

Without wasting any more time, they started testing.

They immediately felt a strong liking for it.

But what they didn't expect was that at this moment, Xuan Zi's figure suddenly appeared.

At this moment, his face looked somewhat ashen.

Upon seeing that an Inner Court academy was actually using the Soul Tool given to him by Huo Yuhao, he felt utterly humiliated.

Therefore, Xuan Zi couldn't help but let out a cold snort:

"We're better off not using that kind of thing!"

"For you Inner Court students, your own strength is enough to kill the opponent before they can even make a move."

"Besides, a mere level Fourth Level Soul Tool can only withstand attacks from around the fourth ring."

"What is the purpose of this defensive capability?"

"If you're going to give something away, at least give a level 5 or 6 one! How stingy!"
