With the Angel Martial Soul, I Joined the Shrek Inspection Team Against Regulations

"My young friend, if you don't mind, would you be willing to join our Shrek Academy?"

Although Luo Feng appeared to be only Rank 30 at the moment, his martial soul was far too special, far too rare.

So rare that Elder Xuan actually made an unprecedented invitation for him to join Shrek Academy.

This was exceptional admission!

Only the upper ranks of Shrek Academy had that kind of authority.

"Well..."

Faced with such a sincere invitation, Luo Feng hesitated a little.

After all, he was a transmigrator.

In effect, he had appeared out of thin air on the Douluo Continent.

His identity would always be a problem.

Perhaps Elder Xuan had seen the concern in the man before him.

He immediately added, "Please rest assured. We will not ask about the origins of your martial soul!"

As the strongest soul master academy on the Douluo Continent, Shrek naturally knew many secrets as well.

Among them were stories of many reclusive clans.

Many of them were extremely reluctant to be questioned about family matters.

This was practically an open secret.

"That's right, Luo Feng. Your martial soul really is suited to joining our academy, especially the Shrek Inspection Team!"

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao also chimed in from the side without pause.

For some reason, whenever she was with this man, the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body would unconsciously ease by a great deal.

Because of that, perhaps even the girl herself had not noticed

that she could not help wanting to get closer to Luo Feng!

"And didn't you say your mission was to hunt down evil soul masters?

We happen to be going after a bandit group led by a Death Messenger!"

The instant Luo Feng heard the four words "Death Messenger" pop out of Ma Xiaotao's mouth, a sharp gleam flashed through the depths of his eyes.

At that very same moment, the dignified electronic voice deep in his mind arrived right on cue, flooding his thoughts like mad:

[Beep! Key plot node detected. Main hunting mission triggered!]

[Target locked: bandit leader on the Star Luo Empire border—evil soul master "Death Messenger"!]

[Mission rating: A-rank purification.]

[Mission reward: Settled according to host's kill contribution and purification degree.

Base reward: soul power increased by three ranks, and a hundred-thousand-year-level "God-Bestowed Soul Ring" unlocked!]

[Failure penalty: None. The glory of the angels cannot be blasphemed. There is only death in battle, no retreat!]

A hundred-thousand-year-level God-Bestowed Soul Ring?

Three ranks in a row?

Luo Feng's heart gave two violent thumps.

This system's missions were not only simple and blunt; the rewards it gave were outrageously generous.

He had just awakened his martial soul and was worrying over having no soul ring to attach. This was practically someone bringing him a pillow the moment he felt sleepy.

"Since Shrek Academy is showing such sincerity, if I were to keep refusing, it would seem rather ungrateful of me."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, that trace of hesitation from before replaced by absolute confidence.

He looked at Elder Xuan, his gaze clear and resolute.

"I am willing to join the Shrek Inspection Team.

As for that so-called Death Messenger, since I've run into him, his life is mine to take."

He said it lightly, yet his words carried a domineering air that treated all evil under heaven as mere weeds.

"Good! Good! Good lad, you've got spirit!"

Elder Xuan excitedly said "good" three times in a row, and even the greasy purplish-red gourd in his hand swayed along with him.

A Six-Winged Angel martial soul that possessed ultimate light, one that even surpassed ordinary sacred attributes.

To the Shrek Inspection Team, which walked the edge of life and death year-round while fighting evil soul masters, it was simply a priceless treasure!

With Luo Feng around, the Shrek Inspection Team's casualty rate would definitely plummet from now on.

He might even solve Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem while he was at it.

This deal was an absolute steal!

Three days later.

The Mingdou Mountain Range, on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

The terrain here was rugged and shrouded year-round in dense miasma, making it a gray zone neither nation could properly control.

It was also the long-term lair of that vicious band of bandits.

The air was thick with the nauseating stench of blood and rotting corpses.

"Ugh!"

Several reserve members who had just joined the Shrek Inspection Team saw the cave entrance not far ahead, a place that looked like the mouth of hell itself.

They couldn't help grabbing onto tree trunks and retching.

Although Luo Feng was also frowning from the overpowering corpse stench, he seemed unusually calm at that moment, even silently observing the surrounding terrain.

Because aside from Ma Xiaotao, the team also included the chosen children of fortune from Douluo Continent: Peerless Tang Sect—Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong!

"Yuhao, you're up."

A stern, cool female voice, yet melodious as an oriole emerging from the valley, rang softly beside everyone's ears.

The speaker was the commanding leader of this operation—the beautiful teacher, Zhou Yi.

Having removed the aged mask she usually wore, she revealed her true peerless beauty.

Her skin was like ice and her bones like jade, mature, cool, and stunning; but the sharpness and killing intent in those beautiful eyes

left Shrek's little monsters silent as cicadas in winter.

"Yes, Teacher Zhou!"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, and a faint, pure golden light instantly covered his eyes.

Mutated body martial soul, Spirit Eye, activated!

"Spiritual Detection Sharing!"

With a hum, a holographic 3D map instantly projected into every team member's mind with no delay at all.

The flow of miasma within several hundred meters, the rises and dips of the terrain, and even the hidden poison-arrow tripwires and signs of life near the cave entrance were all revealed in perfect detail.

"What an exquisite divine support skill."

Luo Feng praised it inwardly.

Once this full-map wallhack was turned on, it really did spare the team the danger of blundering into traps like headless flies.

"Everyone, listen carefully to my orders."

Zhou Yi swept her beautiful eyes across them and quickly began arranging their tactics, displaying the efficiency of a seasoned instructor.

"Evil soul masters' methods are extremely sinister. The blood mist on the outer perimeter contains potent corpse poison.

Yuhao, you'll be responsible for scouting at the very front. Use Spiritual Detection to avoid all poisonous miasma and traps.

Wang Dong, stay right beside him and use the light attribute of your Radiant Goddess Butterfly to protect Yuhao!"

"Inner court disciples will split into two wings for cover. Be ready at any moment to use thunderous methods to eliminate the hidden sentries on both sides of the passage. We must not alert the enemy!"

"Reserve members will stay in the middle and rear, maintain formation, provide support, and guard against attacks from behind!"

After finishing the general tactical arrangement, Zhou Yi turned her head and looked at Luo Feng and Ma Xiaotao at the back of the team.

"Xiaotao, you are our team's strongest combat power.

But your evil fire can easily be stirred up by the resentment here. The moment there's any sign of losing control, you must withdraw immediately!

Luo Feng, although your martial soul restrains evil spirits, your soul power is only at rank thirty. In a moment..."

Before Zhou Yi could finish her warning, Ma Xiaotao shifted closer to Luo Feng with complete naturalness.

A rounded, fair shoulder pressed almost tightly against Luo Feng's arm, and waves of warm, delicate fragrance drifted straight into his nose.

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhou. I'll just stay with Luo Feng.

With him here, my evil fire behaves very well. There definitely won't be any trouble."

This red-haired mature beauty, who usually dominated the inner court and had a fiery temper, now looked like the girl next door seeking shelter from a storm.

She had not even realized just how ambiguous her movement was.
