The Continent Has Endured Shrek for Too Long; The Hunt

"That so-called Death God Envoy should be in this cave. I can smell an extremely strong stench of blood! The fact that this smell can travel this far shows just how many people that damned Evil Soul Master has killed!"

Wang Yan looked at the dark and chilling cave in front of him, his face turning ashen.

Upon hearing his words, both Zhou Yi, who was actually accompanying him, and the Shrek Academy members who were about to participate in the Soul Master Competition, were filled with killing intent.

Ma Xiaotao, who has always had a fiery temper, was like a powder keg that had been lit, and she angrily retorted directly.

"I'm going to kill that bastard right now!"

Wang Yan did not stop Ma Xiaotao, but he still gave her a reminder.

"Please be careful!"

"Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, you take the regular team members in first. Teacher Zhou Yi and I will bring the reserve team to support you later."

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng exchanged a glance and nodded emphatically in agreement.

Just as the seven selected team members were about to enter the cave, Ning Tian, feeling increasingly uneasy, hurriedly asked.

"Teacher Wang Yan, where is Xuan Zi? Isn't Xuan Zi coming in with us?"

Ning Tian's words drew everyone's attention to her. Saying such discouraging things just before attacking the Death God Envoy made everyone else very dissatisfied with Ning Tian.

Ma Xiaotao even made sarcastic remarks.

"If you're scared, you might as well stay outside!"

A hint of disdain surfaced deep in Dai Yueheng's eyes. Had the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fallen so low as to appoint such a coward as its Young Sect Master? No wonder there hadn't been any powerful figures from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for so many years; it seemed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had long since declined!

Although Dai Yueheng was inwardly complaining, he wasn't as brainless as his younger brother, who revealed all his thoughts. Instead, he smiled kindly and said...

"Junior Sister Ning Tian, when the Inspection Corps is in action, a powerful figure like Xuan Zi will only watch from the sidelines instead of helping us fight the enemy. If even opponents with lower Soul Power Level than us need Xuan Zi's help, then we Inner Court students of the Shrek Academy are simply too useless."

"Only when we encounter an enemy far stronger than ourselves will Xuan Zi provide immediate assistance to ensure that we do not suffer any irreparable harm."

"However, if you are really worried, you can choose to stay outside. To be honest, it is really too much for you junior students to encounter such a cruel scene on your first mission."

Dai Yueheng spoke very eloquently. Given Ning Tian's talent and status, Dai Yueheng certainly wouldn't mind giving him face.

That Death God Envoy was just a mere Soul King; with the strength of their Shrek Supervision Group, they could easily deal with him.

However, Dai Yueheng's words provoked the other reserve team members besides Ning Tian, Dai Huabin being the first to sneer.

"I'm not like some cowards; I'm going in with you regular team members!"

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, and Zhu Lu also expressed their opinions one after another.

Just as Ning Tian was about to say something, Zhou Yi glanced at her and said with disdain.

"If you're afraid to face it, I suggest you withdraw from the reserve team and give your spot to someone else! How can you become a strong person without experiencing danger and setbacks?"

Ever since Zhou Yi lost a bet to her arch-rival Mu Jin during the freshman assessment, her life has been extremely difficult.

In order to keep her position as a teacher at the Shrek Academy, she kept hinting to her husband Fan Yu, to plead with Mu Jin on her behalf. In the end, she was able to stay at Shrek as a teacher instead of resigning.

In Zhou Yi's heart, the person she hated the most was Mu Jin, who made her lose face, and the second person was Ning Tian's group, who easily defeated her strongest student in the freshman assessment!

Now that Ning Tian has incurred public wrath, Zhou Yi naturally has no choice but to kick him while he's down! Ideally, Ning Tian should be removed from the reserve team and completely disqualified from participating in the Soul Master Competition!

Shrek Academy may lack many things, but it has no shortage of geniuses willing to fight for Glory of Shrek and ideals!

Faced with the contempt and accusations of the crowd, Ning Tian's hand froze on the Storage Soul Tool, completely abandoning the idea of taking out the Invincible Barrier from it and giving it to them for free.

They've already been treated like this, so what else is there to say? Just wait and see how many of them will die!

Anyway, Zhu Lu, the only one who could be considered a friend, already had the Invincible Barrier that Ning Tian had given him, so he no longer cared whether the others lived or died.

After making the decision, Ning Tian felt refreshed and relaxed. A polite smile returned to his face as he nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your triumphant return outside."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao, Zhou Yi, Dai Huabin, and the others showed undisguised disdain on their faces. Although Wang Yan did not want to see any conflict between them, things had developed to a point where he, as a Soul Emperor- level teacher, could no longer control the situation. After all, even among the regular team members, there were students who were stronger than him!

Left with no other choice, Wang Yan could only wait until after dealing with the Death God Envoy before having a proper talk with Ning Tian to see what she was really thinking.

If she really isn't willing to put in the effort, then she might really lose her spot as a member of the Shrek Reserve Team.

"Ning Tian, you and Leng Qiuyu stay outside. We'll come out as soon as we've dealt with the Death God Envoy."

Ning Tian glanced at Leng Qiuyu, whose face was pale and looked abnormal, and nodded without saying anything more. Leng Qiuyu, on the other hand, seemed not to have heard him and simply stood there indifferently.

As Seven-Ring Soul Sage, he can be considered a powerful figure, albeit not a minor one.

However, because she was an ice-attribute Soul Master, she was sincerely "requested" by the Super Douluo Yan Shaozhe to help his disciple Ma Xiaotao suppress the Evil Fire within her body.

As for whether this will damage one's very essence? Who cares?

What? You're asking what kind of reward you'll get for making such a huge sacrifice?

We've already made an exception and allowed someone who doesn't belong to Shrek Academy to live in Shrek Inner Court, and you still want compensation? Shrek has made so many sacrifices to maintain peace on the continent, don't you know how to sacrifice for Shrek in return?

Anyway, Shrek will definitely remember your contributions. At worst, when your descendants become genius Soul Master in the future, you can send them to Shrek. The teachers there will definitely do their best to nurture your descendants.

Leng Qiuyu desperately hoped that there were even more powerful Evil Soul Master in this cave, and that they could kill all these Shrek members who looked glamorous on the outside but were actually full of darkness on the inside!

Ning Tian was unaware of Leng Qiuyu's identity and experiences, but she had witnessed firsthand how Ma Xiaotao treated her benefactor with such awful attitude. Therefore, if anything unexpected happened to them during this operation, it would be considered well-deserved.

As one after another, the regular team members and reserve team members strode into the cave, Ning Tian chose to remain a cold observer.

Perhaps, Shrek Academy's disgrace this time is a good thing for the entire continent!

Shortly after they entered, a muffled explosion rang out from inside the cave, followed by a cacophony of curses and shouts, along with muffled thuds and intense fluctuations of Soul Power.

The hunt for the Death God Envoy has begun!
