Shrek Academy is located at the intersection of the three Douluo nations, bordering all three of them, and is not far from Star Luo City.
"Elder Xuan, our graduation mission from the inner academy is to hunt down evil soul masters, but due to the presence of the Martial God, all the evil soul masters across the Douluo Continent have gone silent and dare not commit evil deeds. So...how are we supposed to graduate?"
Dai Yueheng walked up to Xuan Zi, a look of confusion on his face as he asked.
As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he couldn't stay at Shrek Academy forever. Sooner or later, he would need to graduate.
But now that the examination topic had been "ruined," where were they supposed to find evil soul masters?
Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng and others also turned their gazes toward Xuan Zi. They too wanted to know if the academy's graduation examination would undergo corresponding changes.
It was truly impossible to find any evil soul masters!
Hearing this, Xuan Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The fact that evil soul masters had gone silent and dared not commit evil deeds was a good thing for the entire Douluo Continent.
But with the evil soul masters gone, or rather, in hiding, was there still a need for their Shrek Inspection Corps to exist?
The Martial God had merely used his prestige to terrify all the evil soul masters on the Douluo Continent into not daring to reveal the slightest trace of themselves. Truly fearsome!
After some contemplation, Xuan Zi spoke with a serious expression: "Relying on the Martial God's prestige has made the evil soul masters afraid to commit evil and go into hiding, but they are not dead!"
"Once an evil soul master, always an evil soul master!"
"They are just hiding very well. It is necessary for our Shrek Inspection Corps to dig them out and exterminate them completely!"
Xuan Zi's words made the corners of Ma Xiaotao and the others' eyes twitch.
"Elder Xuan, but...but evil soul masters are really too hard to find."
"Chen Zifeng and I have been wandering around the continent for a month, and we haven't heard even a single report of evil soul masters committing evil deeds."
Dai Yueheng spread his hands, a look of helplessness on his face as he spoke.
Chen Zifeng at his side nodded, his expression not quite natural.
In the past, their inner academy had endless missions, with evil soul masters cropping up one after another, seemingly impossible to eliminate.
But in this current era, they hadn't heard even a whisper about evil soul masters. What could they say about that?
"Although evil soul masters are hard to find, there are always some clues left behind."
"This old man just so happens to know of a place where evil soul masters are hiding."
"???"
Everyone was full of question marks. Elder Xuan knew of a place where evil soul masters were hiding?
"This evil soul master wasn't discovered by me, but was reported by someone before the Martial God appeared."
"With the academy's current situation, I haven't had time to deal with this evil soul master. Now is the perfect chance for you all to get some practice."
Xuan Zi crossed his arms and laughed.
Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and the others were extremely excited. It had been so, so long since they had encountered an evil soul master.
They had almost forgotten what characteristics evil soul masters had, or what they should look like.
"Elder...Elder Xuan, shouldn't we finish the competition first before going to exterminate that evil soul master?"
One of the team's instructors, Wang Yan, spoke up tentatively.
There were still over half a month left before the competition, so there was no rush. But going to exterminate an evil soul master at this time?
If something went wrong, what would they do?
"No matter, it's just a Soul King. A trivial matter."
Xuan Zi waved his hand, a look of disdain on his face.
If it were a Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo level evil soul master, Xuan Zi would never risk bringing the group along.
But the other party was merely an evil Soul King!
Among the main team members, which one wasn't a powerhouse above the Soul King level?
Not to mention Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who were both Soul Emperors!
Besides, Xuan Zi wasn't dead yet. What problems could possibly arise?
Hearing this, Wang Yan opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
With Xuan Zi saying so, what else could he say?
Looking at the excited students, Xuan Zi nodded, then with a wave of his hand immediately changed their route, heading toward the hiding place of that evil soul master.
With him, a 98th...now only 96th level Super Douluo present, what did it matter if they encountered the unexpected?
He could shoulder everything!
At the same time, the Liyue competition team had arrived at Star Luo City...the outskirts.
When the Star Luo Emperor learned that Zhongli was part of the team, his pupils contracted. Not even bothering with shoes, he ran out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your shoes, your shoes!"
"The Martial God has arrived at Star Luo. I must personally go to welcome him!"
The Star Luo Emperor was also a powerhouse, and half a wise man.
Barefoot, disheveled, hair in disarray - but didn't this precisely represent his sincerity?
Since ancient times, deep affection could not be retained, only schemes could win people's hearts!
"If the Heavenly Soul, Douling, or Sun Moon emperors could take things this far, I...I'll just eat it!"
Anyway, as emperor, he had been accused by those people of not rightfully attaining the throne. He didn't care anymore.
As long as he could cling to the Martial God's coattails, he wanted to see who would still dare say the Xu family didn't rightfully attain the throne!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, slow down!"
"I can't keep the Martial God waiting. I wish I could fly..."
"???"
Star Luo Emperor: "..."
Wait, he seemed...perhaps...well...he probably could fly.
But in the end he didn't fly, instead running out of the palace toward the main city gates.
The Star Luo Emperor ran ahead, while the eunuch behind him carried his shoes, shouting as he ran.
When the Star Luo Emperor chose not to fly, "he" suddenly understood!
Truly worthy of being the emperor!
The current Star Luo Emperor's actions naturally attracted much attention, especially with him being disheveled, hair in disarray, and even barefoot.
This shocked the onlookers, while also making them ponder.
Why go to such lengths, why go to such lengths?
Wait, what was the Star Luo Emperor shouting?
Can't keep the Martial God waiting?
"Sss~"
Anyone with a bit of intelligence at this moment sucked in a breath of cold air, their gazes toward the Star Luo Emperor changing.
Impressive, truly impressive!
As tall as a dozens stories building!
The emperor disregarding his own dignity to welcome the Martial God as quickly as possible - this was more than just dozens stories tall!
Seeing this, the Heavenly Soul and Douling royals' expressions abruptly changed.
Searching their hearts, could they go to such lengths?
Could their emperors go to such lengths?
The Sun Moon representatives were dumbfounded. Thinking about it, they weren't sure if their emperor could go this far, but their crown prince definitely could!
After all, the crown prince was currently somewhat obsessed, five out of ten sentences couldn't go without mentioning the Martial God.
"Is the Martial God here?"
"Wonderful!"
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, ignoring their pensive teammates as they hurried toward the city gates.
Some not-so-bright individuals, upon seeing the emperor's actions, exclaimed: "How improper, how improper, what a loss of dignity!"
Little did they know the magnitude of the Star Luo Emperor's ambitions!
