Hypnosis App Activated

Hmph, she took the bait.

Xu Tianzhen smiled smugly. By saying it was unsuitable for use in public, this brat surely meant to lure her somewhere deserted so he could threaten her.

But she was not falling for that. Whatever secret weapon he had prepared, she was confident she could defeat him.

Ever since her first year at Shrek Academy, she had stayed in the Soul Tool Department and received its focused training. The Soul Tool Department was nowhere near as stingy as the Martial Soul Department. Soul Engineers had the most lucrative profession on the continent. Although the academy gave the Soul Tool Department few resources, they earned plenty of money themselves.

The teachers in the Soul Tool Department would pay out of their own pockets to train Soul Engineers.

And she, Xu Tianzhen, as the most talented Soul Engineer of the new generation in the Soul Tool Department, had already been selected by its leadership to carry out the Ultimate Soldier Plan. This so-called Ultimate Soldier Plan was meant to train a Soul Master capable of changing the shape of a battlefield single-handedly.

Naturally, as an ultimate soldier capable of changing a battlefield, she received more resources than anyone else in the entire Soul Tool Department. Take her physical strength, for example: although she had some natural talent, it was actually only equivalent to that of an Agility Attack System Beast Soul Master of the same rank.

But after being fed resources through the Ultimate Soldier Plan, her physical strength alone had already reached that of a high-level Soul Ancestor. Combined with her auxiliary Martial Soul, it could reach the strength of a Soul King.

Soul Elder cultivation and Soul King strength-that was the foundation of her confidence. With that strength and a storage space packed full of Soul Tools, she believed there was no way Lu Yu could pull anything off within the academy.

Shrek Academy, on the shore of Sea God Lake.

Sea God Lake was a deep blue, clear enough to see the bottom. From afar, it blended seamlessly into the color of the sky.

"Well? The scenery here is pretty nice, right?"

"It is, but are you sure this place is all right? With scenery this beautiful, shouldn't plenty of students be walking here after meals?"

"That should be the case, normally. But last year, two students wandered around here and ended up leaving the academy. Rumor had it they were expelled for stealing academy secrets, but nobody ever saw those two again afterward. The older students started avoiding this place, and the new students have only just enrolled and don't know anything yet, so there definitely won't be anyone here."

Lu Yu looked around. There really was hardly anyone there. He closed his eyes again, equipped Spirit Eyes, stretched Spiritual Detection into a thin line, and quickly swept it around him. Well, he picked up a Daughter of a God King out for a stroll, but she was a little far away, so it probably would not be much of a problem.

Lu Yu's Soul Tool would not cause that much of a disturbance. Wang Dong definitely would not notice it.

"Well, junior? Is this a suitable place to test your Soul Tool?"

"Yes, very suitable."

"But you said nobody ever saw those two again. Aren't you afraid there might be danger here?"

"It's fine. I asked Teacher Fan Yu. He said it was just an accident and wouldn't happen again."

Shrek Academy is pretty shady. Though it wasn't exactly squeaky-clean ten thousand years ago, either.

Forget it. Let's test the Soul Tool.

Lu Yu picked up the Soul Tool he had just finished assembling. It was an iron box the size of his palm, with a glass screen on its front.

If anyone from the modern world had been there, they would have recognized its shape at a glance...

A phone.

"You're the perfect person to be this Soul Tool's first test subject."

Lu Yu raised the phone-shaped Soul Tool and pointed it at Xu Tianzhen's face.

The Soul Tool's screen immediately lit up. Against a pink background, white mosquito-coil spirals spread outward continuously.

"Hmph! I knew you were up to no good! Invincible Shield..."

Already prepared, Xu Tianzhen immediately poured Soul Power into the Storage Soul Tool on her hand, only to find her hands completely empty. Not only her hands-even the Soul Tools at her waist and in other concealed places had vanished without a trace!

Isn't his Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass? Could he have Twin Martial Souls?!

Xu Tianzhen had not expected the Sun Moon Empire to dare plant someone with Twin Martial Souls in Shrek Academy as a spy.

And by the look of things, he had even attached Soul Rings to his Second Martial Soul. He had the potential to become a Limit Douluo. Was killing her worth such a waste?

She tried to resist with brute strength, only to discover that it felt as though her entire body had been stuffed into a container, flooded with molten metal, and left to cool. There was not even the slightest gap for her to move in.

No matter how she struggled with her strength approaching that of a Soul King, it was useless.

Isn't he a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster? How can his Soul Skill trap even a Soul King?

Spiritual Prison!

First, he shut her entire body inside a temporarily created Sea of Consciousness, then released her alone and held her firmly in the grip of Spiritual Prison!

Never seen a Million-Year Soul Skill before, have you, Silver Pure Boy!

A delighted smile spread across Lu Yu's face. This was the thrill of using a wheelchair to beat the hell out of a primitive!

Spiritual Prison's range depended on Spiritual Power. To guard against it, someone had to constantly burst Soul Power around their entire body, or activate their Martial Soul Avatar the moment they met him! Only then could they avoid being temporarily locked inside the Sea of Consciousness and stripped of their equipment. But it was also a powerful million-year single-target control skill in its own right-pure noob-stomping in low-level matches, and a primary control skill even in high-level ones!

"Whew, that felt good. After spending so long in Blue Silver Grass imprisonment, I finally got to enjoy myself."

Lu Yu aimed the Soul Tool in his hand at Xu Tianzhen. It carried a soul-targeting Hypnosis Magic recorded by Elder Yi, so he had named this Soul Tool the Hypnosis App.

A Level 3 Soul Tool: any Soul Master whose Spiritual Power was below that of a spiritual-type Soul Elder would enter Hypnosis Mode after being directly exposed to the Hypnosis App for more than five seconds, obeying any command from the target.

"What is your identity, what is your purpose at Shrek, and what were you planning by bringing me here?"

With vacant eyes, Xu Tianzhen spoke word by word.

"I am the daughter of the Sun Moon Empire's former emperor. When the current emperor seized the throne in a palace coup, I escaped and hid at Shrek Academy. I intend to use Shrek's strength to become a Limit Douluo and take revenge. I brought you here because I suspected you had discovered my true identity. I intended to imprison you or threaten you with poison."

Damn, what a wicked woman.

"And after you succeeded?"

"Make you leave the academy. Once I become emperor, I'll compensate you with a noble title."

Damn, a little wicked, but not that wicked.

Lu Yu understood. I'm the Sun Moon Empire's fugitive princess. Send me fifty bucks, and once I become emperor, I'll make you Grand General.

Since she was not wicked enough, he felt a little awkward about being too ruthless.

Lu Yu had originally intended to simply ask Elder Yi to help turn her into an easily controlled undead puppet.

How should I handle this... The girls my age around me all seem to be hopeless romantics.

"You became lovesick, thought I was handsome, and brought me here to reveal the secret of your Twin Martial Souls and your identity as a fugitive imperial princess of the Sun Moon Empire. You trust me deeply and regard this as our secret, one you won't tell anyone else..."

That felt about right, but Lu Yu still thought something was missing. What was missing... Right!

"You also think I'm very knowledgeable and will follow my arrangements for your development path as a Soul Master."

Now that's right. In a moment, Lu Yu would investigate Xu Tianzhen thoroughly and get a feel for what she had.

"Oh, right, there's also the Lollipop Martial Soul and the Sun Martial Soul. Damn, a Light and Fire Martial Soul approaching the ultimate level. Not only does it come with enormous fire resistance, it also has wide-area AOE. Nice, nice, that fills the gaps."

Lu Yu deactivated the Hypnosis App.

Xu Tianzhen stood there in a daze for a while. Only after Lu Yu waved a hand in front of her face did her vacant eyes gradually regain their clarity.
