Looking at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy before them, Tang Wulin's six-person team was filled with bitterness.
Despite their arduous journey and rapid pace, they still arrived in Ming City more than four days later than Xia Yi and his group.
What angered them the most was that Xu Xiaoyan had just seen a video of Xia Yi and Gu Yue going wild in a bar, with Xia Yi doing a pole dance.
They didn't find it funny at all; they were just envious.
They are both Soul Master.
Why do they do nothing but cultivate every single day?
Xia Yi, however, could indulge in romance and poetry.
That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that Xia Yi's strength is also incredibly abnormal.
This is so unfair.
While Tang Wulin and his companions were still lamenting the injustice of the world, Wu Zhangkong had already arrived in front of them, standing at the entrance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Before they could figure out what was going on, a flash of light appeared in Wu Zhangkong's hand, and something else appeared.
It has a flared opening, and behind it is something like a metal box.
This is...
Before they could react, Wu Zhangkong pressed a button on it, picked it up, and shouted at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy building in front of him.
"Listen up, students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy! We six are from the Shrek Academy, with an average age of fourteen. We are here to challenge the strongest under twenty in your class. We have come here to show you the gap between you and the strongest academy on the continent."
The cold, clear voice was like thunder, its sound waves loud enough to be heard clearly across several streets. Wu Zhangkong held in his hand was essentially a Soul Tool Megaphone!
After saying this, he pressed a button and then shoved the megaphone in his hand into Tang Wulin's hand.
" Teacher Wu, do you have to be so ruthless!" Tang Wulin said helplessly.
Wu Zhangkong said calmly, "Is a perfect score so easy to get?"
Before Tang Wulin could say anything more, the Soul Tool Megaphone in his hand blared again.
"Listen up, students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy! We six are from the Shrek Academy, with an average age of fourteen. We are here to challenge the strongest under twenty of you. We have come here simply to show you the gap between you and the strongest academy on the continent."
Holy crap, this thing even has a recording function...
Tang Wulin wanted to cry!
Then, Wu Zhangkong disappeared...
A gentle breeze blows, carrying a hint of melancholy! Teacher Wu, what happened to your promise to lead the team? What happened to the trust between people?
The Soul Tool Megaphone in his hand blared for the third time. Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin and said, "It seems we've been tricked."
Xu Xiaoyan swallowed hard and said, "Is this the legendary 'more for the same price'? A perfect score is definitely hard to get!"
Ye Xinglan cracked her knuckles. "Just hit me. If it were me, I'd yell the same thing."
Xu Lizhi raised his chubby hand next to Ye Xinglan, "Support!"
Na'er walked to Tang Wulin's side, took the Soul Tool Megaphone, looked at it, and said, "It doesn't seem like he said anything wrong."
Tang Wulin sighed, "I want to give Teacher Wu a nickname, 'King of Pitfalls,' okay?" He finally found the switch on the Soul Tool Megaphone and turned it off after it had already been used four times.
Within those few short minutes, they had been surrounded by onlookers.
There were students and staff members from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, as well as passersby.
A middle-aged man with blond hair emerged from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy building. As Tang Wulin turned off the loudspeaker, his expression turned unusually gloomy.
" Shrek Academy?" The middle-aged man walked up to Tang Wulin and his companions and asked with a gloomy expression.
Tang Wulin put the megaphone into his Storage Soul Tool Ring and said, "We are from the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy, Class 1, Grade First Class."
"You want a challenge? Very well. Follow me." After saying this, the middle-aged man suddenly exuded a powerful aura.
Its momentum was sharp and soared straight into the sky. It made the onlookers feel as if their bodies were about to be torn apart, and for a moment everyone was terrified.
"Everyone, disperse. If you want to see the results, there will be a live broadcast on the big screen in a moment." After saying this, the middle-aged man's imposing aura suddenly vanished, and he turned and walked inside.
Tang Wulin and his group of six took a deep breath and were about to follow them inside.
Just then!
Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep...
A sudden, urgent siren blared, and a police motorcycle sped up, stopping between the teachers of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Tang Wulin and Tang Wulin group of six, blocking their way.
Xia Hong jumped off the motorcycle. The uniform she was wearing was no longer that of an auxiliary police officer, but a standard Ming City Police uniform.
However, because she was riding a bicycle and wearing a helmet, Tang Wulin and the others could not see her appearance or age.
Xia Hong didn't give Tang Wulin and the other six a chance to explain.
When she appeared in front of Tang Wulin, she already had a gleaming silver handcuff on her hand.
By the time Tang Wulin tried to back away, one end of the handcuffs was already on her right wrist.
Tang Wulin felt a little dizzy; he had no idea when he had been handcuffed.
Xia Hong didn't care what Tang Wulin thought. She grabbed the handcuffs with one hand and Tang Wulin's shoulder with the other, and with a leap, she did a beautiful backflip over Tang Wulin's head. The moment she landed behind Tang Wulin Tang Wulin, she used the hand on Tang Wulin 'Tang Wulin shoulder to forcefully press him to the ground and handcuffed his left hand as well.
Like Xia Yi, Tang Wulin was completely caught off guard by Xia Hong Xia Hong and was subdued by her before he could even react.
He didn't even use all his skills.
The difference was that Xia Yi was forced to squat down, while Tang Wulin was forced to lie face down on the ground, his face making great contact with the ground.
Tang Wulin had one advantage over Xia Yi: he wasn't forced to wear the Spirit-Sealing Helmet.
He was only handcuffed with Soul-Sealing Handcuffs.
After she had completely subdued Tang Wulin, Na'er was the first to react, and immediately thrust her Silver Dragon Spear at Xia Hong.
"Starlight, dazzling!"
Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff lit up immediately. Her Martial Soul had evolved during this final exam, and she could now unleash its full potential even during the day.
Not only Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan, but also Ye Xinglan, Xie Xie, and Xu Lizhi acted immediately.
They all rushed towards Xia Hong.
Four black Soul Ring appeared on Xia Hong's body, flashing with silver light. Her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, dodging all Soul Skill in an instant.
"This bloodline power, the Silver Dragon's spatial control, your Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon Lady, this is impossible!" Na'er exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Xia Hong didn't care what she thought. With another flash of silver light, she appeared behind Xu Xiaoyan.
The Soul-Sealing Handcuffs were slammed onto her right wrist, which was raised high with the Star Staff. With a sharp tug, they were released.
Driven by inertia, the handcuffs pulled Xu Xiaoyan flying, crashing directly into Xu Lizhi, who was making steamed buns. The other end of the Soul-Sealing Handcuffs landed on Xu Lizhi's left hand.
As the two collided, the Soul-Sealing Handcuffs locked up immediately.
"Stop!" Xia Hong shouted, and the terrifying bloodline pressure instantly Xie Xie in place. Xia Hong directly threw out a Soul-Sealing Handcuffs from a distance, accurately handcuffing Xie Xie's hands.
The next instant, she reappeared in front of Ye Xinglan. Ye Xinglan slashed out with the Star God Sword, and a terrifying Sword Intent swept towards Xia Hong.
Na'er turned around again, and with the Silver Dragon Spear and the Star God Sword, she launched another attack on Xia Hong.
Xia Hong also produced a Silver Dragon Spear. With a sweeping motion, she knocked Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear and Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword away. Two sets of gleaming silver Soul-Sealing Handcuffs accurately bound them.
With a push from Xia Hong, they ended up lying face down next to Tang Wulin.
The entire process left the teachers of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the women watching completely stunned.
From the moment Xia Hong made her move to the moment she subdued the six geniuses from the Shrek Academy, the entire process took only two or three seconds. Her movements were fluid and graceful, full of beauty.
Seeing Tang Wulin and the other five lying on the ground, Xia Hong clapped her hands and nonchalantly got back onto her motorcycle.
Only then did she take out her identification, wave it in front of Tang Wulin and the other six, and say, "I am Xia Hong, a police officer from the Third Squad of the Royal District Police Brigade Ming City Police Bureau. You are suspected of disturbing public order and provoking trouble. I am now arresting you in accordance with the law."
Xia Hong removed her helmet, revealing a baby-faced girl with chubby cheeks. She tossed her long, glossy black hair and continued, "Besides that, you are also suspected of assaulting a police officer. According to Federation law, police officers have the right to shoot and kill those who assault them. However, considering that you are all minors and just undisciplined troublemakers, I only restrained you and did not use excessive force. But if you provoke me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
In the Sun Moon Federation, the police have immense power.
In any situation, you can subdue the assailant first before showing your identification.
If resistance is encountered, it can be killed on the spot.
The Soul Master profession exists in the Douluo Continent.
If police officers were required to show their identification before enforcing the law, criminals would have already taken the opportunity to escape or even kill the officers.
Similarly, if police are not given the right to kill resisting criminals, then it is the police who are in danger.
Even so, being Federal Police remains a high-risk profession.
However, to prevent police from abusing their power, Federation regulations still require that the video recording device in a police badge be turned on when officers are on duty.
Therefore, Xia Hong's statement is entirely correct.
She had the right to kill him.
Suddenly, Xia Hong let out a cold snort, drew her sidearm from her waist, and pointed it at Tang Wulin's head, saying calmly, "Sir, times have changed. Would you like to try and see if your sword is faster than my gun?"
Among the onlookers, Wu Zhangkong, whose face was already cold, also turned cold. But seeing Xia Hong, who was ready to pull the trigger at any moment, he could only sheathe the Heavenly Frost Sword he had just released.
Now that Tang Wulin and the others have been subdued, Xia Hong can no longer kill them. However, if Wu Zhangkong were to make another move, Xia Hong could certainly fire her gun.
Looking at Xia Hong's innocent, chubby baby face and her clear, big eyes, Wu Zhangkong had no idea what she was thinking, and he dared not gamble on whether she would dare to fire the gun.
He could only obediently withdraw his Martial Soul and slowly walk out from the crowd, but his gaze remained coldly fixed on Xia Hong as he coldly asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Xia Hong tossed a Soul-Sealing Handcuffs and a Spirit-Sealing Helmet in front of him, pointed to Tang Wulin and the others, and said calmly, "Put them on yourself, squat down next to them, and then talk to me."
This is a bit of filler, but it's all necessary.
Today's text is over 6,700 words, and even excluding filler words, it's still over 5,000 words, so it can't really be considered filler.
Another issue is that some people say the fees are too high.
Let me explain: the platform charges the same price for everyone; it's based on word count.
Those that charge less simply have fewer words per chapter.
If I also wrote 2,000 words per chapter, my fee would be lower.
