Why Have the Evil Soul Masters Been Toying with Us All Along?

Besides these top combatants, there are also the eight elders.

The eight elders are all Super Douluo of level 95 or 96.

You wouldn't believe it until you calculate it; this level of strength is enough to suppress the entire Douluo Continent.

Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

When Gu Yuena saw the contents of the diary, a faint hint of surprise flashed in her calm, deep purple eyes, before she quickly regained her usual aloofness.

She nodded slightly, her voice as soft as the wind rustling through leaves. "The Holy Spirit Cult is well hidden; with so many Super Douluo, they are enough to overturn the balance of power on the continent."

For so many years, no force has been able to detect their true strength. This level of forbearance is truly terrifying. Shrek Academy, as the leader of the righteous path, has done a terrible job."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Female Dormitory.

When Ju Zi saw this text, she paused, looked up at the brightly lit, all-night Soul Tool research building in the distance, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

She put down her tools, rested her chin on her hand, and murmured to herself, "The Evil Soul Master have become this powerful. It seems I underestimated them before. Xu Tianran is truly extraordinary."

Shrek Academy, Inner Court Office.

Zhang Lexuan was sitting at a long table piled with files, checking the casualty reports from previous operations to eliminate Evil Soul Master one by one.

Her fingertips traced the pages filled with names, some of which had been crossed out with black lines, signifying eternal sacrifice.

Upon seeing the contents of the diary, her pen suddenly stopped.

She didn't speak immediately, but silently pulled out the Inspection Corps's operational files from the past ten years, spreading them out one by one on the table.

The more she flipped through the pages, the more somber her expression grew. She finally discovered the details she had overlooked countless times.

In every large-scale purge operation, it is always the peripheral members of the Evil Soul Master who are wiped out, while the core figures always manage to disappear one step ahead.

In every battle that seems to be won by a narrow margin, the opponent always reveals a weakness at the crucial moment.

On several occasions, the Inspection Corps was clearly in dire straits, but inexplicably managed to escape unscathed.

"So that's how it is..."

Zhang Lexuan leaned back in the cold chair, closed her eyes, and spoke with an indescribable weariness and a chilling coldness in her voice.

She opened her eyes and looked at the group photos in the book, taken since the establishment of the Inspection Corps. Most of the young, smiling faces in the photos are no longer alive.

"We thought we were hunters, constantly chasing rats hiding in the gutter."

In reality, we are the prey being raised in captivity.

They watched us charge, watched us sacrifice, watched us revel in our insignificant victories.

All these years, all our efforts and sacrifices, were they nothing more than a meaningless game in their eyes?

Shrek Academy, Inner Court.

The moment Ma Xiaotao saw the contents of the diary, she suddenly spat out the water she had just drunk, choking and coughing violently.

She tossed the kettle aside, stood up abruptly, walked to the window, and slammed her fist into the heavy wooden window frame.

The hard wood groaned under the strain, and a clear, fine crack appeared.

She remembered the mission she had received in the past, the mission to go to the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

She led five team members to wipe out a stronghold that was said to be inhabited by more than twenty Evil Soul Master.

When they arrived at the location, they discovered that nearly a hundred Evil Soul Master were lying in ambush there, including three Soul Douluo- level powerhouses.

That battle was exceptionally fierce. All five team members were seriously injured, and she herself was exhausted. In the end, she barely managed to break through the encirclement with the explosive power of the Phoenix Flame.

At the time, she thought it was because of her strength, but now she realizes that the other party deliberately let her go.

Damn it! Damn it all!

Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth, her voice filled with overwhelming anger and resentment.

She turned around, her face full of anger.

"We fought them with all our might, thinking we were protecting the peace of the continent."

As a result, in their eyes, we weren't even worthy of their serious attention.

What do those fallen brothers, those teammates with broken arms and legs matter! Holy Spirit Cult... I will never let you get away with this!"

Shrek Academy, classroom.

Xiao Xiao patted her chest lightly, an expression of disbelief on her face, her heart filled with shock. "My God, this is too scary! I always thought that Evil Soul Master were just bad guys hiding in dark corners, who would be quickly wiped out by the academy every time they came out to cause trouble."

I never imagined they were so strong. Didn't our seniors always seem to be on the verge of death when they were on missions?

[Huh? I'm curious then, with such strength, how exactly did you fail in the end?]

Oh, right, I remember now, one reason is their fear of the Shrek Academy.

After all, the former headmaster of the Shrek Academy, Mu En, was known as the number one person on the continent.

The title of "Number One Person on the Mainland" is no exaggeration.

In a one-on-one fight, Mu En could easily dominate; in a two-on-one fight, he could probably stall for time.

Taotie Douluo Xuanzi is a level 98 Super Douluo.

A Level 98 Super Douluo is not comparable to a level 95 or 96 Super Douluo.

From this perspective, it seems that although Shrek Academy lacks a Ultimate Douluo -level fighter, the presence of Mu En suggests that it can somewhat fill that gap.

The Far North.

Upon seeing the content about Mu En and Xuan Zi, the Ice and Snow Emperors pursed their lips, Ice Empress tone carrying a hint of innate arrogance. "That old codger Mu En is indeed quite capable. Even though we never leave the Far North, we've long heard of his reputation."

Snow Empress smiled gently, reached out her fair hand and gently touched Ice Empress's head. Her voice was soft but carried an undeniable solemnity. "Don't be careless. A Level 98 Super Douluo is only one step away from becoming Ultimate Douluo. His strength is already extremely high."

As for Mu En, as the number one person on the mainland, he must have many unknown trump cards. It is a very wise choice for the Holy Spirit Cult to be wary of him.

As for his strength, he is indeed the number one on the continent. Even Di Tian could probably only fight Mu En to a draw. Such strength makes him worthy of being called the number one on the continent.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, Snow Empress felt that if she were on her home turf in the Far North, she could unleash strength at roughly the level of Ultimate Douluo, which would allow her to hold her own against Mu En for quite some time.

But once they leave the Far North and are far from their home ground, she is no match for Mu En.

Snow Empress had a clear understanding of her own strength; she was not like some brainless Soul Beast who thought they were second only to the heavens.
