Chapter 324 The Soul Hunt Begins.
"Wu Xuan, this is the strongest strike of our Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the Blazing Inferno in Extreme Freeze, the Heavenly Emperor's Hammer!"
Huo Yuhao's hands had turned ice-white, while Wang Dong's right hand had become a strange dark gold. Their palms met, and a terrifying surge of energy erupted outwards from their bodies.
The same location, the same defeat—once again, the four of them, including Bei Bei, were defeated by Wu Xuan in the same way. Unlike yesterday, Wu Xuan's attack was more decisive this time, and their defeat was even faster. This scene could be seen as Huo Yuhao and the others' last struggle.
A giant hammer appeared out of thin air. The hammerhead was jet black, but each end had a sharp, ice-blue protrusion, and the handle was covered with chaotic patterns.
In the next instant, this super-giant hammer, ten meters long and with a hammerhead diameter of over three meters, instantly turned blood-red.
"That attack is quite interesting! Huo Yuhao, it's a pity your soul power level is too low. Second soul skill, Light Spirit Wind!"
"One Qi Great Hand Explosion!"
Wu Xuan's expression was neither sad nor happy. In the next instant, he raised his left hand, his five fingers spread open, and a hurricane instantly gathered into a hand about four or five zhang long, aiming at the giant hammer that had appeared out of thin air. The moment the giant hand appeared, a strange, unprecedented wailing sound rang out in the air, as if the air itself was crying because of its existence.
The next instant, the hammer fell. It struck the palm of the giant hand directly.
The hurricane hand followed Wu Xuan's movement and clenched into a fist.
"Boom!"
The hurricane hand clenched fiercely, and the atmosphere exploded. This strike actually produced a sonic boom.
The light emanating from the giant hammer seemed to be swallowed up by the hurricane hand at this moment, and even the space around the giant hammer seemed to tremble because of its appearance.
The moment the giant hand clenched tightly, Huo Yuhao felt his head buzzing and his eyes lose focus. On the other side, Wang Dong'er felt as if she had been struck in the chest by a huge force, and then she fell directly onto the training ground.
"Alright, alright, the sparring is over!" Elder Xuan shouted.
Hearing this, Wu Xuan stopped! Huo Yuhao, regaining his senses, quickly helped the fallen Wang Dong'er up, a sense of dejection welling up inside him. Wu Xuan was simply too strong, so strong that he felt suffocated.
"Yuhao, Beibei, you don't need to be so discouraged by your consecutive defeats to Wu Xuan. After all, that little guy's talent is one in a million. Perhaps only Tang San, the ancestor who ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago, could compare to him." Elder Xuan stepped forward and comforted the six of them.
"Then what was the point of you two sparring matches, Elder Xuan? Were you just asking us to be humiliated?" Xu Sanshi grumbled unhappily.
"Then what was the point? You little guys were going to represent the Tang Sect in this year's All-Continent Soul Fighting Tournament. If it weren't for Elder Mu pleading on my behalf, do you think the elders of the Sea God Pavilion would have agreed so easily?" Elder Xuan sneered.
Xu Sanshi was speechless. They had indeed acted dishonestly.
"Alright, now that the two-day sparring is over and the result is obvious, the last member of your team will have to find their own way. The academy won't provide any assistance. Furthermore, your five-year Shrek Seven Devils title will be revoked by the academy in two months and awarded to the next student representing the academy. That's all I have to say. You may leave now!" Elder Xuan finished speaking, took a swig of wine, and swayed away.
"Revoked in two months? There are still more than four months until the end of the fifth year!" Xu Sanshi finally came to his senses and asked blankly.
"Maybe the academy has some other arrangements," Bei Bei said.
"Don't overthink it. This comes down to an old academy tradition. The Shrek Seven Devils were supposed to participate in the Continental Soul Fighting Tournament as the main team. Now that you're not representing the academy, it's naturally going to be revoked early. Alright, I'm leaving too. See you later!" Wu Xuan didn't give them a chance to speak, and instantly vanished like a whirlwind.
Wu Xuan's destination was naturally the Martial Soul Department office, as he needed to negotiate for tomorrow's Soul Hunting Operation.
As Wu Xuan landed, the two people in the office seemed to sense something and looked up.
"Second Senior Sister!" Wu Xuan smiled.
"Junior Brother, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to arrive first!" Cai Meier said in surprise.
"Elder Song is here too!"
"Yes," Elder Song smiled kindly. This old lady had a kind face, gentle eyes, snow-white hair, and few wrinkles on her face.
"Second Senior Sister, I've come to discuss tomorrow's Soul Hunting operation with you," Wu Xuan said.
"There are some changes to the personnel for tomorrow's operation. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er will also be joining this Soul Hunting. For safety reasons, Elder Song will also participate in this operation tomorrow," Cai Meier said.
"Elder Song, you're participating too!" Wu Xuan asked in surprise. Elder Song was a Super Douluo of level ninety-seven. In the current continent, he was the number one agility-type Soul Master. In terms of speed, Wu Xuan was probably two points slower than him.
Despite his aged face, Old Song's smile remained unchanged. He said, "Although I'm participating, I'll only be following secretly. I won't intervene unless absolutely necessary. The real leader is Mei'er."
"That's for the best!" Wu Xuan nodded.
Cai Mei'er looked at Wu Xuan and continued, "Wu Xuan, there's another reason Old Song is participating in this Soul Hunt. If you haven't found a suitable Soul Beast by the end of the hunt, Old Song will lead you deep into the Perilous Lands to find a suitable Eighth Ring. Although Shrek Academy has an agreement with the perilous beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest not to actively hunt 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts, that agreement is just empty talk. When it really comes down to it, we won't be so rigid."
Wu Xuan felt a surge of warmth. He hadn't expected Shrek Academy to go to such lengths for him. They were even willing to offend the Perilous Lands.
"Then I thank Old Song!" Wu Xuan bowed deeply to him.
"Alright, little one, don't be so serious. This time, I'll accompany you on this trip, and you'll see the Sea God Pavilion's intentions. Our identities must not be exposed unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand the Fury Academy in this perilous land," Elder Song comforted him.
"I know. Even if the beasts we encounter are perfectly suited to me, if we fail to kill them in one strike, we'll retreat," Wu Xuan assured him.
"Haha, you have good comprehension!"
Elder Song praised.
The next morning, Wu Xuan arrived early at the main gate of Shrek Academy. Wu Xuan came alone. Xiao Xiao had broken through to level sixty several months ago, her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had already fused with a soul ring, and the sixth ring of her Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul was generated automatically, requiring no hunting.
Ma Xiaotao, exhausted from a night of battle, was still sleeping.
Not long after, the inner court students for this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had all arrived.
The first person to catch Wu Xuan's eye was Wang Qiu'er, wearing a veil and a black dragon-patterned outfit, her long, wavy pinkish-blue hair tied back in a ponytail.
Next were Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er; the two women exchanged a glance before looking away. Wu Xuan could feel Wang Qiu'er's cool gaze fall on him again.
Wu Xuan, however, greeted Zhang Lexuan with a normal expression.
