Xuan Zi: They'll Be Safe! I'm the Nemesis of Evil Soul Masters!

At that thought, Xiao Xiao said softly, "Wang Dong, class is about to start. Let's go, or Teacher Zhou Yi will throw another fit!"

Go? Go where? At least let me use the restroom first!

Wang Dong was somewhat dumbfounded. She waved her hand. "Xiao Xiao, you go on ahead. I'll be back in a bit!"

Seeing Wang Dong's expression, Xiao Xiao obediently nodded and did not press her.

She said, "All right. I'll go first. But, Wang Dong, if there's anything you want to tell me, tell me soon, because I have something I want to tell you too!"

After saying that, Xiao Xiao ran off with her little face flushed red, leaving Wang Dong standing there in disarray. She felt that something was off with Xiao Xiao. Could it be that Xiao Xiao wanted to confess to her?

"But I'm a girl! How am I supposed to accept a confession? It's all this male attire's fault. Otherwise, how would I have ended up with so much trouble? Looks like I'll have to find a suitable time to come clean with Xiao Xiao." Wang Dong felt helpless.

By Sea God Lake.

An old man with a messy mop of hair, his entire body greasy and dressed in tattered clothes, lay sprawled in a chair. He gnawed on a chicken leg while enjoying the lake breeze, a contented expression on his face.

This man was Xuan Zi.

Because his martial soul was the Gluttonous Divine Ox, he had always possessed a gluttonous nature.

In truth, martial souls could influence Soul Masters, just like Ma Hongjun, one of the Original Seven Devils.

Because of the influence of his martial soul, his body had been filled with evil fire. Although Ma Hongjun later resolved the issue of his evil fire, his descendant, Shrek Academy's current inner courtyard genius Ma Xiaotao, could not escape its effects.

At that moment, footsteps sounded behind Xuan Zi.

The newcomer was Yan Shaozhe, the Martial Soul Department Dean of Shrek Academy. In a sense, he had an exceptionally formidable background. Not only was he Mu En's student, but he was also a descendant of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. In other words, all three Limit Douluo on humanity's side in Peerless Tang Sect had close ties to Yan Shaozhe.

Looking at Xuan Zi, he said, "Elder Xuan, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament is about to begin. The main team members have already been decided, but we have yet to settle on the reserve members. We will hold a selection some time from now to choose them.

"According to academy rules, a few days before the tournament, we need someone powerful to lead the main team and reserve team on a supervision mission to eliminate Evil Soul Masters. It will count as a warm-up before the tournament.

"Of course, the mission location has not yet been decided, but when the time comes, I hope you can lead the team."

This decision was also the result of discussions with Qian Duoduo and the others. After all, Elder Xuan was Shrek Academy's second-strongest person. He was powerful, had carried out many supervision missions, and possessed abundant experience dealing with Evil Soul Masters—enough to ensure the students' safety.

Besides, among the Sea God Pavilion Elders, Elder Xuan was the most idle. Every day, all he did was eat chicken legs and drink alcohol. He reeked of liquor and was perpetually unkempt, truly damaging Shrek Academy's glorious image.

Xuan Zi slowly rose from his recliner, tossed away the chicken bone, clasped his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "It seems you know that I once bore the title of Nemesis of Evil Soul Masters. That's why you informed me in advance that you wanted me to lead the team."

Yan Shaozhe froze for a moment, then smiled. "Naturally. Elder Xuan, you are the vice captain of the Shrek Supervision Group. You have killed many Evil Soul Masters, and your hands are stained with their blood. You truly are their nemesis! Your reputation is widespread, and your strength is formidable. It is because we trust you that we want you to lead the team!"

Xuan Zi had also grown up as a student of Shrek Academy, so he had naturally completed the supervision missions required of inner courtyard disciples. Ever since becoming vice captain, every time Xuan Zi carried out a mission alone, he had always killed Evil Soul Masters.

"Not bad. You have a good eye when it comes to choosing people." Xuan Zi looked somewhat proud, and a confident smile appeared on his face. "I am a Rank 98 Super Douluo. I am only one rank away from becoming a Limit Douluo. On the Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of people stronger than me.

"Rest easy. With me taking action, the students will definitely complete the supervision mission safely! There absolutely won't be any casualties! Mere Evil Soul Masters will be captured with a flick of my hand!"

Dormitory.

Jing Hongchen relayed Kong Deming's words to Huo Yuhao. Naturally, he deliberately omitted certain insignificant parts of their conversation. After all, he could hardly tell a student that he had been scolded. Of course, he particularly emphasized Huo Yuhao's generous treatment.

"In short, from now on, you are someone Old Kong values highly. Your future is boundless! This is a Hall Master Card issued internally by Mingde Hall. It contains ten million Gold Soul Coins. Whenever you run out, just ask me for more.

"Anyway, it all goes on Mingde Hall's account. Mingde Hall has plenty of money! If you want to buy anything, just have Mingde Hall reimburse you!" Jing Hongchen handed over a card traced with golden patterns.

Huo Yuhao accepted the card and immediately found it somewhat dull. Earning money had become this easy. Sure enough, no matter where one was, geniuses would receive investment. Moreover, according to Jing Hongchen, he could also help Huo Yuhao hunt soul beasts in the future.

Hopefully Jing Hongchen was not like Xuan Zi. Otherwise, that would be disastrous. After all, whenever Xuan Zi led a team, someone either died or was injured. That law was truly terrifying.

Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, since you are a reserve member sent by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to the Soul Duel Tournament, I hope you can get acquainted with your tournament teammates in advance."

"The Soul Duel Tournament? Get acquainted?" Huo Yuhao immediately recalled the plot of the original work. He remembered that in this Soul Duel Tournament, Shrek Academy defeated the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and killed several of its students.

However, since he was now a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he would never allow the plot to unfold as it had in the original work.

Jing Hongchen nodded. "That's right, get acquainted. You are tournament team members, after all. You can't compete without knowing your teammates.

"At the Soul Duel Tournament, our academy truly has only one opponent: Shrek Academy. The other academies have some strength as well, but compared with Shrek Academy, they are indeed far inferior."

"More than four thousand years ago, the Empire was defeated by the Douluo Three Kingdoms Allied Army led by Shrek Academy. At the Soul Duel Tournament, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has also never been able to defeat Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy's existence is like an enormous mountain standing before us."

"As far as I am concerned, I do not believe you can defeat Shrek Academy in this tournament. Shrek Academy is simply too powerful. But in the next tournament, you, Xiao, and Meng will all have grown up and will compete as main team members. At that time, you will lead the academy to victory!"

"I have faith in your talent. What you lack right now is merely time."
