"Heh heh, even though A-Yue isn't sincere at all~" Leng Yulai leaned her delicate, pretty face close to Ming Yue's.
Leng Yulai breathed a fragrant sigh. "But as long as A-Yue calls me Sister Yulai, I'm happy~"
She'd often teased Ming Yue in their daily interactions, and when she saw his handsome face flush red,
Leng Yulai felt an immense sense of satisfaction well up inside her.
"All right, it's time to discuss business. Yulai, stop clinging to A-Yue like a little temptress."
Having evidently finished reading Ming Yue's plans, Leng Yaozhu cut off Leng Yulai, who was about to continue, and Ming Yue, who was coyly playing along.
"Ahem. About my arrangements, Sister Yaozhu, is there anything you'd like to add?"
Ming Yue quickly cleared his throat and sobered up, then sat up straight and looked at her.
"You..." Leng Yaozhu shook her head with a laugh, then turned serious. "There aren't any major flaws, for the most part."
"But I still think firing just one enhanced Level 12 Soul Cannon Shell before we move our troops is too little."
"Let's fire all the few we have in storage and scour the place clean first. Then we can go in and mop up the remnants. That way, Shrek will be well and truly consigned to history."
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and Leng Yaozhu smiled. "Once Shrek is gone,"
"the Federation will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of our Spirit Pagoda!"
As she spoke, she raised a delicate hand and made a grasping motion.
"Empty the arsenal...?"
In his original plan, Ming Yue had figured that all they needed to do was launch one of the Level 12 Soul Cannon Shells he'd modified.
As for the rest, of course, they were meant for Little Scumbag and his father, Tang Hao.
After all, making these things consumed a lot of resources.
But if they followed Leng Yaozhu's suggestion and attacked the Federation immediately after wiping out Shrek,
that would basically mean using Shrek as a stepping stone to unify the Douluo Continent by force!
Thinking it over, Ming Yue couldn't help patting his head. Why had I suddenly become so indecisive?
Cursing himself silently, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion, too. "In that case, let's begin our forced unification of the Douluo Continent by uprooting Shrek, this cancer!"
Beneath the clear blue sky after the rain, all things flourished with vibrant life.
Shrek Academy, standing at the very center of Shrek City, looked even more prosperous under the beautiful, sunny sky.
Not long ago, Chen Zeyu had announced that the "Anti-Spirit Organization"—the most talked-about group on the continent—had formed an alliance with Shrek.
Shrek Academy could now be called the most renowned and talked-about force on the Douluo Continent.
People streamed in and out of the academy, among them even Titled Douluo.
But amid this bustling scene, several evenly spaced black dots suddenly appeared in the clear blue sky.
A rushing sound, like a howling gale, drew closer. Soon, almost everyone stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky in unison.
In the distance, six oddly shaped black objects were hurtling toward them at full speed!
"Those are Fixed Soul Cannon Shells?!"
Someone in the crowd shouted first. In an instant, panic began to spread!
"Don't panic, don't panic! Everyone, stay calm! I'm Night Owl Douluo! Listen to me!"
A Titled Douluo immediately amplified his voice with Soul Power and shouted. After all, he'd seen how terrifying a panicked crowd could be.
And everyone here was a Soul Master, to boot!
Perhaps due to the Titled Douluo's presence, the panicked crowd soon calmed down a little.
Seeing this, the Titled Douluo hurriedly raised his voice again with Soul Power. "As everyone knows, Fixed Soul Cannon Shells can travel great distances."
"But we're inside the safest place on the entire continent right now—Shrek Academy!"
"And Shrek Academy's missile defense system is no pushover!"
But before the Titled Douluo could finish speaking, a scorching wave laced with terrifying energy swept out from a corner beside Shrek Academy!
Then came a "BOOM!"—a deafening blast that seemed to shatter everyone's eardrums, accompanied by a blinding flash!
As a gigantic mushroom cloud rose into the sky, countless Soul Masters, students, and ordinary people didn't even understand what had happened before the terrifying, energy-laced heat wave vaporized them!
And that was only the power of the first Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell modified by Ming Yue!
Just then, streaks of light shot up from the direction of Sea God Island and surged into the sky.
At first, only seven figures rose, but dozens more soon followed.
They were none other than the Peak and Super Douluo at the top of Shrek Academy's inner court!
The first seven streaks of light shone the brightest, each radiating immense power!
As they soared skyward, the others rose and spread out as well, all rushing to intercept the five Fixed Soul Cannon Shells falling from above!
But.
As beautiful as that idea was, the Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells modified by Ming Yue weren't something a mere Super or Peak Douluo could handle.
Two Limit Douluo managed to destroy one of the Fixed Soul Cannon Shells.
Their faces grim, the two Limit Douluo ignored the surging blood and qi in their bodies and shouted a warning:
"Get to the Golden Ancient Tree! Soul Cannon Shells of this level are beyond your ability to tou—"
But before they could finish their warning:
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
The remaining four Soul Cannon Shells exploded the instant they touched the Soul Power of the Super and Peak Douluo!
As four more enormous mushroom clouds rose into the sky,
the terrifying heat waves of energy instantly vaporized the Super and Peak Douluo who'd come into close contact with the Soul Cannon Shells!
As the heat waves swept outward, the whole magnificent Shrek City—including the Spirit Pagoda, already emptied of people and left with nothing but its buildings—
melted and vaporized in less than a minute!
And that was only the first wave of energy. As time passed, the energy continued to dissipate, spreading out from the edges of Shrek City!
Under the onslaught of the energy-laden heat waves, everyone and everything they touched was utterly powerless to resist, vaporized in an instant!
Another hour passed. By then, the scattered aftershocks of heat were gradually weakening.
The once-magnificent Shrek City had been reduced to a massive pit several meters deep!
Not a trace remained of its iconic buildings. Inside Shrek Academy's inner court, however, there was still a charred object resembling a tree stump—and beside it lay two charred figures, their bodies extensively burned and their fates unknown.
Just then, the clouds of dust and gloom stirred up by the mushroom clouds began to disperse.
Dozens of figures in armor, each radiating a surging aura, slowly appeared in the sky!
