Mingdu is now more chaotic than ever.
The pursuit battle between Lu Ren and Xuan Zi on Alleyway and surrounding streets lasted for seven minutes.
In seven minutes, Word-Made-Reality's sound waves shattered countless pieces of glass, and the damage caused by Xuan Zi was even more indescribable----
The entire neighborhood seemed to have been run over by an army, and the residual Soul Power in the air fluctuated so strongly that even low-level Soul Master would find it difficult to breathe if it came close.
Now Xuan Zi is running away.
Lu Ren stood in the center of the ruins and looked around.
In the distance, more than twenty powerful auras were approaching at extremely fast speeds.
He worked hard to drag Xuan Zi until Mingdu's official force arrived, not just to get him involved.
If he were detained on the spot by the Sun Moon Empire's people, he would become a prisoner in an instant, which would be too humiliating.
He took a deep breath and bent his legs slightly.
Soul Power and Cursed Energy were injected into the lower limbs at the same time. The two completely different energies blended and compressed in the body, followed by an explosion.
The floor beneath his feet exploded, sending his whole body flying into the sky like a cannonball.
He jumped onto the roof of a three-story Lou Gao building. His feet only stopped for a moment. As the bricks and tiles shattered, his body bounced up again and flew farther away.
He jumped several times in a row, each time covering a distance of tens of feet. The speed was so fast that ordinary people looking up on the ground could only catch a blurry black shadow.
By the time Sun Moon Empire's people arrived at the scene, the black shadow had completely disappeared into the scattered skyline of Mingdu.
The leader, Level 9 Soul Engineer, stood on the edge of the ruins, his face so gloomy that it could drip water.
He was wearing a high-level military uniform, with the Sun Moon Empire and Military Emblem embroidered on the chest. The gold stars on the epaulettes glowed with a cold metallic luster under the light of the soul-guiding street lamp.
His eyes swept across the devastated streets, collapsed walls, broken pavement, and the blood mist slowly floating in the air, which made the muscles at the corners of Level 9 Soul Engineer's mouth twitch several times.
Each of them had just heard that sound.
The young man's voice, blessed by Soul Power and deliberately amplified so that the whole street could hear it clearly, mentioned a name every word.
Xuan Zi!
Taotie Douluo of the Shrek Academy, Level 98 Super Douluo, actually went to Mingdu to act wild!
What's even more hateful is that after he finished his act, he patted his butt and ran away.
What is Mingdu?
Public toilet?
Come when you want and leave when you want?
"We must ask Shrek Academy for an explanation on this matter!"
The leader, Level 9 Soul Engineer, spoke angrily, and his voice echoed above the empty ruins.
The crowd of the Soul Engineer Legion behind them were excited, with angry faces on their faces.
Shrek Academy relied on being the number one academy in mainland China and has often opposed Sun Moon Empire over the years, but in the past, he still maintained the most basic dignity.
This time it was better, it came directly to my face.
In the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, in the heart of Mingdu, Xuan Zi came here inexplicably to wreak havoc, completely ignoring the majesty of the Sun Moon Empire!
"Yes, Shrek people are too arrogant!"
"They must be punished!"
"Let's just start a war and destroy Shrek first!"
One after another roars spread through the team.
Most of these Soul Engineer are Sun Moon Empire's local elites. They have been influenced by the expansionism of the empire for many years, and they have long been resentful of Shrek, the mountain that weighs on the empire's head.
What happened today undoubtedly gave them an outlet for their long-suppressed emotions.
And in this passionate atmosphere, there was one person who never made a sound, it was Jing Hongchen who came quickly after receiving the news from Ji Juechen.
He stood on the edge of the crowd, his anxious eyes scanning the ruins repeatedly.
The figure belonging to Lu Ren is not among any of the ruins, nor among the injured who are being helped out from the rubble by Soul Engineer.
Various signs point to the fact that he was not at the scene.
Jing Hongchen's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Could it be that Xuan Zi kidnapped Lu Ren?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, a small patch of cold sweat soaked his back.
With the strength of Xuan Zi Level 98 Super Douluo, catching a Soul King of Level 50 is a piece of cake.
Lu Ren No matter how talented you are, no matter how evil you are, the chasm in your cultivation cannot be filled by talent.
What's more, that kid provoked Xuan Zi head-on today. With Xuan Zi's unyielding temper, how could he let him go?
"Damn Shrek Academy."
Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes, his expression as cold as a frozen lake in winter.
After spending such a long time together, he has regarded this young man as one of his own. Shrek took Lu Ren away, which was to cut his heart.
"It seems that we really need to discuss with His Majesty how to deal with the Shrek Academy." Jing Hongchen seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be making a decision that cannot be changed.
At the same time, high above Mingdu, Du Busi and Mu En had already retreated.
Are you going to stay there and wait to be discovered by Mingdu's Soul Engineer Legion?
Tonight's Mingdu is already chaotic enough. No one wants to fall out with the Sun Moon Empire at this time.
As for the ten-minute agreement, it has no meaning anymore.
Xuan Zi retreated in defeat, and Lu Ren also ran away. The game between the Body Sect and Shrek ended hastily with neither side getting the result they wanted.
But Du Busi's mood is not bad at all.
"This kid actually relied on his own ability to deal with Xuan Zi for seven minutes."
He chewed this fact over and over in his mind, and every time he chewed it, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew a little thicker.
Level 50 Soul King, against Level 98 Super Douluo, they actually fought for seven minutes!
If this were told, no one in the entire continent would believe it, but he saw it with his own eyes.
Lu Ren was not afraid or panicked from beginning to end. Instead, he revealed his trump cards in a planned way to deal with Xuan Zi.
This record is enough for Lu Ren to be hailed as the strongest Soul King in the history of the Douluo Continent!
Originally, Du Busi had made other preparations.
If Xuan Zi really catches Lu Ren, then Du Busi will mess up the situation again even if he fights for his life!
After fighting Shrek for so many years, what he lacks most is the experience and means to muddy the waters.
Body Sect's other two, Titled Douluo, have been waiting secretly for a long time. Just waiting for him to use Thunderous Might's offensive to hold back Mu En and Xuan Zi for even a dozen breaths, they will rush up and take away Lu Ren.
The backup plan has been laid out, who knew Lu Ren could do it by himself.
"If this kid grows up in the future, he will be invincible in the world."
Du Busi made this extremely important judgment in his heart.
But then he frowned slightly. "I just don't know, after today's incident, will the Shrek people allow him to grow up smoothly?"
This is what worries him most now.
Shrek has stumbled twice on Lu Ren. The first time was when Xuan Zi was locked to death by him using Martial Soul's oath, and the second time was today, when he forced him to kneel down in front of countless Mingdu people.
With Shrek's size and arrogance, they couldn't swallow the fact that they were defeated by a young man twice in a row.
Destroy if you can't suppress it. This is the usual logic of many big forces, including Shrek Academy.
Du Busi is so clear.
When he landed from the high altitude to the ground, a Titled Douluo from the Body Sect quickly came up to him, knelt down on one knee, and his voice was full of irrepressible excitement. "Sect Master, little brother Lu Ren has joined our people, and he is safe now."
Du Busi's eyes lit up and he laughed.
He stretched out his hand to help Titled Douluo up, and his voice was as smooth as if he had just won a big victory. "Well done, well done!"
"Come on, take me to see him. This guy did something big today."
High in the cloudless sky, Xuan Zi is speeding rapidly.
He flew so fast that the clouds beneath him were torn into pieces by the air current.
But there was no joy of victory on his face.
At this time, his old face was as gloomy as if it had been covered with a layer of pot ashes, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, as if he was undergoing some kind of unspeakable suffering.
Finally, Xuan Zi stopped.
He used Soul Power to quietly smash the dirty pants underneath him into pieces, then took out the last pair of spare pants from Storage Soul Tool and put them on.
This was the first time in his life that he had to bring spare pants during a battle.
In the nearly two hundred years of his life, he never imagined that he would have such a day.
So, why did he change his pants?
Because Xuan Zi finally pulled----
It's still a big mess.
But he is Super Douluo after all, and he still has some self-control. He did not release it on the spot in full view of the public.
But what made his soul tremble even more was another fact----
He pooped, but he didn't even have time to find the toilet!
In the few tenths of a second when the bet was correct, Xuan Zi made a mistake in judgment!
So Xuan Zi staged a performance of unrestrained freedom high in the sky.
If anyone saw that scene, it would probably go down in history.
Shocked, a certain Super Douluo from the Shrek Academy actually performed flying shit at a high altitude----
Fortunately, no one else saw it, otherwise Xuan Zi would have been embarrassed throughout the continent.
"Still not leaving? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"
That old voice reached Xuan Zi's ears, and there was a rare hint of real sullenness in his tone.
"Mu En, I----"
He spoke with difficulty, trying to defend himself.
This time, Mu En's patience seemed to have been exhausted. "Let's discuss it when we go back."
Xuan Zi froze, swallowed all the words that came to his mouth, and flew in the direction of Shrek O
Sun Moon Empire Imperial Palace, study room in the left side hall.
The layout of the study room is very simple, without unnecessary decoration.
--
There were several stacks of documents neatly stacked on the desk, and a soul-guided desk lamp emitted soft but cold white light.
Behind the desk, a young man in white clothes sat.
He looked to be only twenty-four or five years old, and his clothes were extremely simple, which was incompatible with the splendor of the Imperial Palace.
But his eyes were bright and clear, and he also carried a kind of coercion unique to someone who has been in power for a long time.
The skin is dark and reveals a healthy luster.
And he is Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, the most powerful competitor for the next emperor, Xu Tianran!
In front of him, stood a man in a black robe, with neat silver hair, bright eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a face that was almost unrealistically handsome.
If it weren't for that silver hair, he would just look like a middle-aged man with outstanding temperament.
But those deep purple eyes were like two bottomless abyss, and the occasional flash of purple light seemed to absorb all the surrounding temperature.
He is today's Holy Spirit Cult Master Zhongli Wu.
"His Highness the Crown Prince, Shrek Academy people are becoming more and more arrogant." Zhongli Wu's voice was steady, with a hint of inducement, "Just now, I sensed that there were at least two Level 98 Super Douluo are confronting Mingdu high in the sky, and one of them is none other than the world-famous Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi."
He tilted his head slightly, and his deep purple eyes looked through the window at the distant neighborhood in the center of Mingdu, where there were faint lights of fire.
"As expected, Xuan Zi caused great damage to Mingdu for seven minutes and walked away. This Taotie Douluo didn't take Sun Moon Empire seriously at all."
He withdrew his gaze and landed on Xu Tianran's face.
"His Highness the Crown Prince, I do not deny that Sun Moon Empire far exceeds Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms in terms of overall national strength, but in terms of top combat power, none of you can punish top figures like Xuan Zi."
Xu Tianran sneered, he was not a fool, Zhongli Wu knew the hidden meaning in these words as soon as he heard it.
"You want to say that only if I reach complete cooperation with you can you help us fight against these top powerhouses?"
"Not bad."
Zhongli Wu's tone was flat.
"It's not that we are proud, but that our strength is enough to crush the entire Shrek Academy."
"A mere Xuan Zi is nothing to be afraid of. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to fully cooperate with us, Shrek Academy and even all the top combat forces originally belonging to Douluo Three Kingdoms, we Holy Spirit Cult can wipe out the empire."
"This is not the reason for you to cause destruction in Mingdu these days!"
Xu Tianran slammed the table, and there was a loud bang on the tabletop, and the piled documents vibrated.
His eyes burst out with a sharp cold light, staring at Zhongli Wu's calm face. "Do you know what you Xishui Alliance have done? Not only did you Mingdu They made people panic and dared to attack Ordinary Alliance and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Do you know who is standing behind them? If you hit them, you are hitting Imperial Family in the face!"
Zhongli Wu said without changing his expression, "Because someone has threatened us and even shaken the foundation of our existence."
"We understand very well what it means when Douluo Continent appears Holy Attribute Martial Soul. Once the other party grows up, even if it just becomes Titled Douluo, we Holy Spirit Cult may never be able to turn around."
He paused, leaned slightly, and lowered his voice. "Presumably His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want Holy Spirit Cult to become a waste, right? Not to mention, Sun Moon Empire still needs us to contend with Shrek."
Xu Tianran leaned back on the chair and waved his hand. "Hmph, I know about this. Let your people be quiet and don't make any big noise like this time and disrupt the order of Mingdu."
"It's just looking for someone. Is it possible that you can find someone faster than our official team?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhongli Wu understood instantly.
Xu Tianran's meaning is very clear: Don't do this yourself, we will help you find someone.
It is a matter of course that the authorities are looking for someone, and no one can say anything.
Moreover, using the official name to find people is much faster than them.
Zhongli Wu was slightly startled, then took a step back and apologized.
The dignified Level 98 Super Douluo, Holy Spirit Cult Master lowered his head to a young Crown Prince who was not even Titled Douluo: "I was the one who was abrupt, I'm sorry, His Highness the Crown Prince."
Being able to bend and stretch is the only way he Zhongli Wu has survived to this day.
Holy Spirit Cult also needs the protection of the Sun Moon Empire. There is no benefit in showing off in front of Crown Prince.
Xu Tianran's expression softened a bit and he nodded.
"Back off."
He pressed his thumbs on his temples and rubbed them, a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
"Don't forget our cooperation. After I board Imperial Throne, Holy Spirit Cult will be my older Sun Moon Empire's State-Protector Divine Cult."
Zhongli Wu exited the study without saying a word. The moment he closed the door, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes briefly met the Empire Emblem carved on the door frame.
Then he turned around and strode outside the Imperial Palace.
The night wind blew through his silver hair, revealing his handsome but extremely gloomy face.
"A mere junior dares to be arrogant in front of me."
His low voice was filled with cold murderous intent.
"If you weren't still useful, I would have crushed you to death, huh."
Zhongli Wu's deep purple eyes flashed a cold light in the night, and then his figure dissipated in the wind like a burst of black smoke.
At the same time, Mingdu is on the outskirts.
"Well done, little brother!"
A Body Sect Titled Douluo hit Lu Ren on the chest hard, with just the right amount of force. He looked at Lu Ren with eyes filled with admiration.
They were all people who had issues with the Shrek Academy. When they saw Xuan Zi defeated, they all felt as if they had won the battle.
"They are capable of such despicable means. Fortunately, they are still Shrek Academy. I didn't expect that they can't afford it. They want to kidnap and sell me by force before the game even starts."
Another Titled Douluo sneered, his robes rustling in the night wind.
"Let me tell you, this little brother is really relieved when he does this."
"That's it, bro, I'm convinced."
The leader, Titled Douluo, who had patted Lu Ren on the shoulder before, laughed loudly, "Little brother, your Word-Made-Reality skills are so strong, you are worthy of being Spiritual System Soul Master."
"A few of my brothers have given me awards, but I was just lucky enough to be able to do it."
Lu Ren smiled modestly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a rough and domineering voice came from the distance. "This is not a matter of luck, this is your ability."
All the Titled Douluos present were shocked, then looked in the direction of the source of the sound and knelt down on one knee.
I saw Du Busi striding forward in the distance, her long dark green hair fluttering like a flag in the night wind, and her rosy face full of unabashed admiration.
Several Titled Douluo had just lowered their heads when he stopped them with a wave of his hand and asked them to stand up again.
Then Du Busi walked up to Lu Ren and looked down at the black-haired boy for several seconds.
The corners of his mouth slowly opened, revealing an almost child-like smile that was completely inconsistent with Level 98 Super Douluo's identity. Then he reached out and patted Lu Ren on the shoulder. "You are very good, really good!"
