Ambush at the Post Station, Sunlight Martial Soul's Might!

The convoy traveled for several days until they moved beyond the jurisdiction of the Northwest Field Army. Dai Hao could not accompany this small team all the way to Shrek Academy.

After leaving behind a squad of elite soldiers, Dai Hao led the rest of his men away to return.

The remaining leg of the journey had entered the depths of the Xingluo Empire, and they were not far from Shrek Academy, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They all believed it was impossible to encounter any special circumstances here, yet this very relaxation played right into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Night.

A government relay station, temporary encampment.

Xu Tianyao sat alone in his room, watching the night sky outside. For him, both day and night were excellent times for cultivation.

During the day, the sunlight was abundant, allowing the Soul Power of his Sunlight Martial Soul to be generated and circulated at maximum efficiency.

At night, he could fully utilize the holy power of the lunar yin to temper the violent energy of his Sunlight Martial Soul, converting and absorbing it.

Just as he prepared to enter his nightly cultivation, Qian Duoduo sent someone to invite him over, claiming there was something to discuss.

Xu Tianyao could not refuse, so he followed the student wearing Shrek Academy attire and headed straight upstairs.

However, just as he was pondering why Qian Duoduo wanted to see him, the youth leading the way flashed a hint of red in his eyes.

Without warning, the youth threw several Soul Tool bombs backward and detonated them. A shocking explosion erupted within the relay station, followed immediately by similar explosions on every floor.

As the thick smoke cleared, Xu Tianyao held a Soul Tool shield in one hand, having blocked the sudden blast. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he glared at the student who had ambushed him.

Seeing that his four fifth-level instant-detonation Soul Tool bombs had failed to kill this so-called Sun Moon Prince immediately, the attacker's face filled with horror.

However, he had only been acting on a whim; even if he couldn't kill him, given his own strength, he knew he wouldn't be escaping tonight anyway.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—six massive soul rings rose from his body, and a ferocious demon wolf manifested behind him.

Indeed, this person was not a member of Shrek Academy, and with such malevolent energy, he was clearly no ordinary soul master.

There was only one answer: this guy was a dog of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The aura of an Evil Soul Master was so thick, yet this person had hidden it so well that he hadn't noticed it at first. It seemed the Holy Spirit Cult was truly not to be underestimated.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Demon Wolf Six-Fold Slash!"

The entire relay station was now in chaos, with battles breaking out on every floor. The Title Douluo of Shrek Academy had yet to appear, likely held back by even more powerful Evil Soul Masters.

It seemed he had no choice but to fight. Xu Tianyao thought to himself. Facing a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse for the first time, he felt extremely exhilarated, his blood boiling uncontrollably.

A brilliant sun rose slowly behind him, emitting scorching light.

"Second Soul Skill: Sunlight Battle Body."

As a purple soul ring lit up on Xu Tianyao, the sun behind him erupted with countless streams of molten flame. They instantly enveloped him, slowly condensing into a suit of battle armor that covered his entire body.

Sunlight Battle Body was a powerful soul skill that stimulated the solar bloodline within him to gain an all-around boost, fully unleashing the domineering nature of the Sunlight Martial Soul.

Facing the Evil Soul Master's Demon Wolf Six-Fold Slash, Xu Tianyao threw punch after punch. Each strike launched a miniature sun, colliding with the slashes and erupting in violent shockwaves.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the relay station, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were also facing a siege by several Evil Soul Masters stronger than themselves.

But as the grandchildren of the Mingde Hall Master, they possessed no shortage of Soul Tools. Especially for this visit to a hostile continent, Jing Hongchen had fully armed and reinforced his precious grandchildren.

Xiao Hongchen stood at the front after activating his Martial Soul Possession, facing the most intense attacks from the Evil Soul Masters.

Behind Meng Hongchen, a Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad appeared, and a bone-chilling cold began to shroud their area.

Meng Hongchen's soul rings lit up continuously, and countless cold currents and ice descended from the sky, firmly sealing the area.

Her originally wine-red hair had turned a captivating white due to her Martial Soul Possession.

"Second Soul Skill: Ice Poison Ring!"

With herself as the center, Meng Hongchen projected a massive ice-blue ring. Within this ring, the toxicity hidden in all the ice mist and ice blocks was amplified infinitely.

Only now did the Evil Soul Masters, who had been struggling to break through Xiao Hongchen's metal defenses and Soul Tool barriers, realize something was wrong.

"Not good, there's poison in this mist! Retreat!"

It was unclear what the Evil Soul Masters' true goal was, but the people they had sent were generally not very strong.

The Sun Moon students could even use their abundant Soul Tools to contend with them across ranks, temporarily ensuring their own safety and stalling for time.

This gave the Shrek teachers and students a chance to rescue them.

"Duoduo, leave this to me and Lin'er. Don't get bogged down in the fight; go down quickly and protect those children. Not a single one can be lost."

Above the relay station, Elder Song and Xian Lin'er were locked in a fierce battle with three Evil Soul Masters of Title Douluo rank.

Elder Song, the oldest and most experienced, was most worried about whether the Sun Moon Empire's Prince was in mortal danger.

The goal of these Evil Soul Masters was clear: they were definitely targeting the children from the Sun Moon Empire, especially the Prince, who possessed both status and extraordinary talent.

They wanted to use this to provoke a conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires to profit from the chaos.

This was something she never wanted to see, and certainly not what the great empires wanted.

Therefore, she would rather stay with Xian Lin'er and face the three enemy Title Douluo regardless of the danger.

He also had to let Qian Duoduo quickly disengage from the battlefield and take those children of the Sun Moon Empire away as soon as possible.

Qian Duoduo held a massive shield engraved with dragon patterns, nodding firmly after hearing his mother-in-law's words.

At the same time, the eighth soul ring on his body lit up: "Eighth Soul Skill: Black Dragon Protection."

Before leaving, he also cast a layer of resilient shields onto Elder Song and Xian Lin'er.

Seeing that the two of them had no major issues dealing with the three Titled Douluo, he then dove downward with all his might.

Yet, when he returned to the post house, the scene inside truly took him by surprise.

These students of the Sun Moon Empire were gathered in groups of three or five, and with their already formidable Soul Power combined with the coordination of their Soul Tools, they were actually mounting an effective counterattack.
