The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

On Sea God Island, Tang San is struggling to complete his Third Divine Examination.

This Third Divine Examination was unbelievable; it involved experiencing an illusion.

As for this illusion, of course, it was our Sea Princess who helped us.

Anyway, Tang San won't die.

It's just about experiencing the life of a socialite.

Of course, what's most infuriating is that Tang San often sees the faces of acquaintances.

For example, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and so on.

Whether it's real or not is unknown; after all, it's an illusion, and reality and illusion are intertwined, especially since Ma Hongjun was present.

And whenever the night is still and quiet, sitting alone on the empty beach, he always thinks of the Second Trial.

The Second Trial, as requested by the Sea God, was the essence of manhood.

Reward: The Nine Trials are over, and Xiao Wu is restored to her original form.

He could endure anything for this.

Anything is fine.

This includes dignity, a way out, and... the most fundamental things for a man.

As for the Asura God, he's still considering the Fourth Trial. It feels too easy, what if Tang San gets too comfortable with it?

A few days later, Shrek City.

A black bus drove along the main road. All the windows were covered, there were no markings on the body, and even the license plate was completely obscured.

Upon reaching the checkpoint, a person got out of the car, showed a pass, and the staff raised the barrier without checking or questioning, letting them through directly.

He glanced at the car, then turned his head back.

Shrek City, Sea God Lake.

The lakeshore was teeming with people, as lively as a festival. The viewing platform was filled with the Shrek Academy students.

The lake surface was covered with a large expanse of water lily leaves, each one shimmering with a pale blue light.

A row of female trainees stood in the center of the lotus leaves, all dressed in plain white dresses and wearing straw hats with light veils hanging from the edges, obscuring their faces. The male trainees crowded in the assembly area on the shore, rubbing their hands together and glancing at the lotus leaves.

Only Inner Court disciples could participate; Outer Court disciples of the Shrek Academy could only stand aside and watch.

The Sea God's Fate was presided over by Tang Yinmeng and Lan Muzi from the Inner Court of the Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, in Shrek City, upstream of Sea God Lake, at the water source entrance.

Yin Hongye squatted to the side and took out a sealed small bottle from the Storage Device. The bottle contained a translucent liquid, pale yellow in color, which looked like ordinary oil. However, as soon as the cap was unscrewed, it emitted a smell that could kill a person.

Skunk Gas Extract, created from the Sixth Soul Skill of a Soul Sage, is water-resistant and concentrated.

This will definitely make Shrek Academy incredibly lively.

He brought the bottle opening to the water inlet, tilted his wrist, and a drop fell into the water stream.

The drop of water spread out silently at first.

It flows towards Sea God Lake from the lake's inlet.

Within just a few minutes, the water in Sea God Lake began to emit a faint, strange odor.

After a while, the aroma intensified.

"One drop is enough." Yin Hongye tightened the cap. "I'm afraid we won't need it again."

Mu Hongchen stood to the side, watching the oil film flow down. "You won't need it anymore? What, is Shrek Academy going to disappear?"

"Take a closer look; they're all nearby," Yin Hongye reminded her.

Mu Hongchen paused, closed his eyes, and spread his spiritual energy, probing outwards along the surrounding metal. A few breaths later, he opened his eyes, his expression changing. "This yield... more than enough to blow up Shrek City."

"What is that?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It can fly and light up; it's obviously a big firework!" Yin Hongye said bluntly. "But there's nothing much to see."

Qian Renxue looked incredulous. What kind of fireworks could destroy Shrek Academy? Her spiritual power swept across the area outside the city. Her expression darkened. "There are Evil Soul Master. Their auras are strong, and there's more than one. We must take them out."

Yin Hongye grabbed her wrist. "Don't rush."

"You're going to just watch them make their move?"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," Yin Hongye said. "The Evil Soul Master and the Ghost Emperor have arrived, and so has the Nether Emperor. No one can stop this calamity now. We'll strike when they think they've succeeded."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. Those two things are completely useless unless you can temporarily reach the God Rank."

"Don't worry, Ya Li has Mass Resurrection Soul Skill, there won't be any problems."

This is how Yin Hongye explained it to Qian Renxue, but in reality...

If he remembered correctly, Ya Li fainted immediately after Yun Ming died. If she hadn't been so sleepy and had released her Ninth Soul Skill first, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Resurrection?" Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. This Soul Skill...

The Soul Skill of people in this era are truly outrageous, one more outrageous than the last.

Mass Resurrection Soul Skill.

No, Yin Hongye's resurrection was passive, and although it was personal, it was clearly more outrageous.

At this moment, on Sea God Lake, the first stage is halfway through.

Yun Ming sat on a pleasure boat in the middle of the lake watching the ceremony. But just a moment ago, his mental energy trembled, and he suddenly felt a sense of palpitation.

He frowned, whispered a few words to the person beside him, and told them to notify the Federation that something big might happen on the Douluo Continent.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that this happened in Shrek City.

After giving the notification, Yun Ming withdrew his gaze and looked back at the lake. But the moment he turned his head, a pungent odor surged up from the bottom of the lake.

At first, it was faint, like something rotting.

Then it grew stronger and stronger, until the entire lake started to stink.

The female trainees on the lotus leaves covered their mouths and noses, their veils fluttering wildly in the wind. The male trainees, not bothering to remove their hats, covered their noses and ran towards the shore.

The faces of the people on the cruise ship turned ashen, and some vomited on the spot.

The fish in the lake were all floating to the surface, belly up, one group after another.

"What's that smell!" someone shouted.

"It stinks! Sea God... Ugh... It stinks!"

Seeing this, Yun Ming's expression gradually darkened.

Without a doubt, it was Yin Hongye who did it.

There's nothing this guy wouldn't do.

Every time the Sea God's Fate, it comes to ruin these children's love stories!

At this moment, Yin Hongye had already arrived at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

We arrived at a high-rise observation deck.

From this vantage point, the entire Sea God Lake can be seen in its entirety.

The lake reeked, and the guests on the cruise ship were in chaos. The male trainees covered their noses and ran to the shore, while the female trainees didn't even bother with their straw hats and waded back to shore.

The crowd on the lake shore stirred and retreated; some retched, some covered their faces, and some had already started cursing.

The already lively Sea God's Fate became even more bustling.

Of course, it doesn't generate as much buzz as the Ghost Emperor.

It's not even as good as the rockets sent by the Qian Gu Dongfeng.

"You can see the entire Sea God Lake from this angle!" Di Qiuer exclaimed, pressing herself against the floor-to-ceiling window and gazing at the scenery below.

"Otherwise, why Spirit Pagoda so high? It would be a waste of time," Yin Hongye explained, looking at the scenery below.

Mu Hongchen stood to the side, "It's a pity that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo isn't here; it seems he's on some mission."

"She's right here, but she's not even watching the play!" Yin Hongye said.

"So, you just swaggered in like that." Qian Renxue was speechless; these two really had no inhibitions.

We came straight up without any problems.

"What's the panic? Just wait and see." Yin Hongye didn't care; today was the day Shrek Academy would be Destruction.

The once mighty Shrek is finally on its way to decline.

This time, he emptied the coffers of everyone who could be a seed.

Especially Tang Wulin, he also has a Vast Sea Crystal here, which is one of Tang San's backup plans.

His gaze drifted towards the outskirts of the city, where people were already at work.

Ninth-Level Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon.

There is also Level 12 God-Slaying Soul Tool.

The Ghost Emperor stood in a clearing in the forest, his body shrouded in black robes. His gaze passed over the treetops and landed on the lights of Shrek City in the distance. He raised his hand and tapped his fingertips twice on the communicator.

A deep voice came through the communicator. "Sir, everyone is in position."

"Take down the Level 7 and Level 8 tools first, then finish off the Level Twelve and Level 9 Soul Tool."

"Clear."

The Ghost Emperor retrieved his communicator, turned to look at the dark figures behind him, and said, "Let's go. When the Godslayer Soul Missile is launched, that will be our departure."
