The Oriole Behind

They took all the Storage Soul Tool off Elder Ma's body and examined them one by one, including several Soul Tool blueprints that Xuan Zi couldn't understand.

Xuan Zi didn't understand Soul Tool, but he knew that in terms of Soul Tool, the Sun Moon Empire was far ahead of Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo, and Shrek Academy.

These Soul Tool design blueprints might promote the development of Shrek's Soul Tool Department, and perhaps even allow them to research some of the top-secret Soul Tool technologies from the Sun Moon faction.

"Level 7 Soul Tool, still level seven. There's an eighth one here, but not a single Level 9 Soul Tool? I've really wasted my time."

Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Tool Department of the Shrek Academy, is known as Level 8.5 Soul Tool Master, the highest-level Soul Engineer in the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo.

She hasn't been able to break through to the ninth level because she lacks the design ideas for a Level 9 Soul Tool Master Level 9 Soul Tool. If she had a Level 9 Soul Tool or a design blueprint, perhaps Xian Lin'er could become the first Level 9 Soul Tool Master in the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo region.

Xuan Zi searched through all of Elder Ma's Storage Soul Tool, but still couldn't find the Soul Beast Embryo. He immediately realized he had been tricked.

Moreover, apart from a blueprint for a Level 7 Soul Tool, the rest were all low-level items, barely better than nothing.

The guy in front of me is just bait. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo isn't on him at all. He's using me as bait. I'm afraid the embryo is no longer in Star Luo City by now.

Realizing what had happened, Xuan Zi flew into a rage and slapped Elder Ma in the dantian, shattering his Soul Core. In an instant, Elder Ma's Titled Douluo cultivation vanished, and he became an ordinary person.

Without his cultivation and with Elder Ma current injuries, if no one discovers and treats him in a short time, he will only be waiting to die.

After doing all this, Xuan Zi returned to Star Luo City with the spoils of war. Mu En's mission for him was to protect those children.

This was already considered Xuan Zi's dereliction of duty, all for the sake of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo. Unfortunately, he was lured away from his post, but fortunately, the harvest was still gratifying.

"What a waste of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo. Only in the hands of Shrek can such a thing realize its full value."

Meanwhile, in a small canyon a hundred kilometers to the west of Star Luo City.

A middle-aged man dressed in black cautiously observed his surroundings, as if afraid that someone was following him.

This person is one of the Sun Moon Empire's spies infiltrated within Star Luo City. This time, he received orders to transport a Storage Soul Tool back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to find Jing Hongchen as soon as possible.

The requirement was that the contents of the Soul Tool must be intact and that it must be personally handed over to Jing Hongchen. As a result, he also received a Hongchen Family Token.

Although he probably didn't know what was inside the Soul Tool.

However, the mission was kept highly confidential, and besides him, there was another teammate responsible for diverting the attention of others.

That's right, there were only two people on this mission, and you could even say that he was the only one actually responsible for delivering the goods.

Being alone has its advantages; at least it's safer, and you're relatively less likely to be discovered.

Click!

The fact that the special Induction Soul Tool the man was wearing at his waist was broken meant that someone had appeared on the other side to ambush them, and that the person who was drawing attention to them was already dead.

Knowing that he was temporarily safe and needed to hurry, the man developed seven Soul Ring and his speed increased dramatically as he headed towards the Mingdou Mountain Range.

"Hmm? The Shrek Inspectorate!"

"Damn! I recognized it immediately. Everyone in the world knows what the Shrek Inspectorate wears! So they were hiding their personal identities."

Chen Yuan, dressed in Shrek Inspectorate uniform, couldn't help but complain.

"Seriously, you only sent a Soul Saint with such a weak and unstable aura to deliver something so important? What were you thinking?!"

Electrolux has already scouted the area; there isn't a single living person nearby. Playing these matches has really exhausted Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan had finally found an opportunity where he didn't have to act, and against an enemy with the strength of a seventh-ring expert. He didn't want to miss this chance to show off his skills.

"Shrek scum, get out of my way! Or I'll chop your head off right now!"

Seeing the fearless attitude on the other side, Chen Yuan couldn't help but be moved and applauded him.

The applause echoed clearly throughout the canyon. Even though he was being so serious, the other person still acted so casually.

The undercover agent developed seven Soul Ring— three yellow, two purple, and two black—and also acquired a short knife.

His movements were as swift as Gui Mei, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Chen Yuan, his short knife aimed at the man's neck.

Clang!

"No! This is impossible!"

No matter how hard the undercover agent tried, he couldn't budge his martial spirit even a fraction. Chen Yuan gripped the blade tightly, and a sound similar to shattering glass could be heard.

Martial Soul Shattered!

The undercover agent panicked. How could this guy grab Seven-Ring Soul Sage's Martial Soul with just one hand? And judging by the looks of it, he could even shatter his Martial Soul directly.

What level of power is this? How could someone possibly crush a person's martial spirit with just brute force?

He's Seven-Ring Soul Sage; even without using any Soul Skill, he shouldn't be acting like this!

"Seventh Soul Skill! Martial Soul Avatar!"

Soul Power surged on the blade held by Chen Yuan, and a layer of phantom appeared on the blade, greatly increasing the aura of the undercover agent.

The Martial Soul Avatar is a skill obtained by Soul Master with their seventh Soul Ring, which allows the Soul Master to truly unleash the full power of their Martial Soul.

If Soul Saint with a normal Soul Ring Configuration were to use their Martial Soul Avatar, Chen Yuan certainly wouldn't be as indifferent as he is now.

But this guy in front of me not only doesn't have the best Soul Ring Configuration, but he's also Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire, so he's definitely taken a lot of drugs.

Because he was in the Star Luo Empire, the Soul Tool he possessed was definitely not a high-end item.

The short sword hummed and flashed, and in just a few moments, the boulders surrounding the canyon were covered with sword marks.

Pulling the trigger of the Level 5 Soul Tool Ray Gun, the Soul Tool Ray shot towards Chen Yuan's head.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan stopped being arrogant. His fifth black Soul Ring shone with a deep black light, and his entire body radiated a different kind of glow.

Flames gathered in his right fist, transforming into a majestic Leo.

The moment the Flame Lion appeared, the entire canyon turned into a sea of flames, and the Soul Tool Ray was burned to ashes when it entered a three-meter radius around Chen Yuan.

Not only the Soul Tool Ray, but even the Soul Tool Ray Gun in the Soul Saint's hand began to melt due to the Ultimate Fire.

Soul Tool are, in the end, nothing more than metal. Since they are metal, they have a melting point. It would be easy to melt these metals with the high temperature of Ultimate Fire.

Beneath the Flame Gauntlet on his right hand, the skin emanated a unique fluctuation of Soul Power, External Soul Bone Golden Lion Mastiff Right Palm Bone. Even without using the Domination Domain Soul Skill granted to Chen Yuan by this Soul Bone...

Chen Yuan could greatly amplify his power simply by activating this Soul Bone.

Finally, the Third Soul Skill, Heart of Flame!

Chen Yuan's Soul Power fluctuations far exceeded his current level, completely overwhelming the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Saint who had already awakened his Martial Soul Avatar.

Why bother with fancy fighting styles? Chen Yuan only needs one punch from his opponent to render them incapable of fighting!

Clang!

With a powerful punch, the light shield that had suddenly appeared was almost overwhelmed, cracks spreading like a spider web, but it did not shatter and remained sturdy.

Level 6 Soul Tool with Invincible Barrier, a powerful Defensive Soul Tool capable of withstanding three seconds of attack from an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Seeing the attack blocked, the undercover agent smiled. Even a top student from Shrek Academy couldn't possibly reach the level of Titled Douluo while still a member of the Inspector Group, and couldn't possibly break this Invincible Barrier.

"Puff--!"

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood with a burnt smell. The undercover agent trembled as he turned his gaze to his chest.

At this moment, a large hole was torn open in his chest, and through the hole, all his internal organs could be seen to have turned to ashes.

"Invincible Barrier? It's just a form of defense. Coincidentally, my attacks ignore defenses."

Even Seven-Ring Soul Sage could not survive such a severe blow; in his final moments, he attempted to destroy the cargo on his body.

Scalding flames engulfed his head; the Seven-Ring Soul Sage was dead.
