Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 396 You can be smarter than the ancestor?
Zheng Zhan was stunned. He looked Cai Meier up and down, thinking to himself, "Are the strong people from Shrek Academy just making things up? They certainly have a whole bunch of fallacies."

His expression turned serious, and he transmitted his voice, "Dean Cai, I hope you can leave the arena with the Tang Clan team. In any case, the match between the Tang Clan team and the Holy Spirit Sect team is over."

The victor is the Holy Spirit Sect team, and that will not change; we will not grant your unreasonable demands.

“If Dean Cai continues to cause trouble, I will have no choice but to take special measures to drive you away. That would be embarrassing, and you don’t want to be captured by me in front of so many people, do you?”

Cai Meier's face was very ugly. To be honest, if it were just Zheng Zhan, she could still try her best.

The problem is, this is Mingdu, a place teeming with powerful individuals, and Kong Deming is also here. If she continues to pester him and is eventually captured, wouldn't that be a disgrace to Shrek Academy?

After all, she was the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, a figure of considerable stature in the Douluo Continent.

So she had no choice but to swallow her anger and fly to the competition stage to take care of the students of the Tang Clan team. Since the competition between the Tang Clan team and the Holy Spirit Sect team had come to an end, the news of Tang Clan's defeat spread rapidly from Mingdu to all directions.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is about to face the Snow Demon Sect in the semifinals.

Of course, although it is called the Snow Demon Sect, it is actually the Body Sect.

Because of the special nature of the semi-finals, there will be no second round of semi-finals today. As for the Soul Master Elite Competition organized by the three major underground forces in Mingdu, it will be held after the semi-finals are completely over and the two teams for the finals are selected.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry to go to the Elite Soul Master Competition to find Feng Ling. For him, participating in the Elite Soul Master Competition as a contestant would at most reward him with a level nine fixed-equipment soul guide cannon and a carving knife, while watching the competition with Feng Ling was much more valuable than those rewards.

After all, Feng Ling was the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and Yan Shaozhe's old flame.

Huo Yuhao now has some time to improve his strength before the finals, such as raising his cultivation to the Soul Saint level. However, since it is a sunny day, he plans to use the Sun and Moon Profound Technique to absorb the essence of the sun for a while to improve his physical qualities as much as possible before searching for soul beasts.

Shrek Academy.

Underground prison.

Xu Sanshi sat on the ground, feeling somewhat desperate. He never expected that just by returning to Shrek Academy, he would go from being the captain of the Shrek team to a prisoner.

His hands and feet were bound by black shackles, which were level six soul tools. Their main purpose was to restrict his soul power and prevent him from using soul skills.

For a Soul Emperor like him, once his soul power is restricted and he is unable to use soul skills, he is practically at the mercy of others.

In addition, underground prisons are usually used by Shrek Academy to detain serious criminals. They are heavily guarded and have high structural strength, so he had no chance of escaping from there.

Of course, this was the first time he had ever known that Shrek Academy had such a place, which undoubtedly shattered his understanding of the world.

After all, in his mind, Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the continent, a place for teaching and nurturing people, filled with light and justice. How could it be like his own home, with an underground prison?

Now he realizes he was wrong. According to the people who escorted him here, back when the Tang Sect was still in power and was the number one sect on the continent, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had a very good relationship. So the Tang Sect helped Shrek Academy build this underground prison and thoughtfully provided a batch of torture instruments for interrogating prisoners.

Time has passed and the Tang Clan has declined, but this underground prison still exists.

Why bring me here and have them explain the origins of the underground prison? I haven't done anything seriously wrong.

He still remembered the middle-aged Shrek man he met in Mingdu, who claimed to be surnamed Tang. After being verified by the academy's elders, it was confirmed that the man was a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Teacher Tang came to me with twelve tokens from Elder Xuan, asking me to return to the academy as soon as possible to visit my father, who was seriously injured and had been transferred to Shrek Academy to be treated by Elder Zhuang.

Xu Sanshi still had feelings for his father, who was the leader of the Xuanming Sect, so he anxiously followed Teacher Tang back to Shrek Academy.

To maximize speed along the way, he mostly relied on Teacher Tang to carry him. To be honest, Teacher Tang was incredibly fast. Even though Teacher Tang's current cultivation level was only Soul Douluo, most Title Douluos couldn't match his speed.

One reason is that Teacher Tang's martial soul is the Bright Sharp-tailed Swallow, which is inherently good at speed. The so-called Bright Sharp-tailed Swallow is a kind of mutated martial soul.

After Tang San defeated Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, the Tang Sect became the number one sect on the continent. The Minzhi Hall of the Tang Sect also flourished. Some Shrek students married members of the Minzhi Hall, so the Minzhi Hall's Sharp Feather Swallow Martial Soul spread.

Teacher Tang is a pure speed-type Soul Master, and basically every Soul Ring can add speed attributes to himself. In addition, Teacher Tang carries a flying Soul Tool, so his speed is naturally even faster.

Tap tap tap, a series of footsteps sounded outside. Xuanzi and Teacher Tang appeared at the cell door. Teacher Tang opened the door and walked in with Xuanzi.

Xuanzi looked at Xu Sanshi and sighed: "Sanshi, honestly explain why you betrayed the academy. As long as you can explain the reason and help me find other traitors you know, that will be enough."

I swear by the Golden Tree that I will never pursue your betrayal of the academy again, and I will release you back to the Xuanming Sect to continue being your second young master!

Xu Sanshi was stunned. What betrayal of the academy? When had he ever betrayed the academy? Was Elder Xuan drunk and not thinking clearly?

Xu Sanshi, being upright and fearless, said somewhat displeasedly, "Elder Xuan, I have not betrayed the academy. I have always been loyal to the academy. By the way, why did you issue twelve orders in succession, falsely claiming that my father was seriously injured, to trick me into returning to the academy? Isn't what you're doing a bit too much?"

Teacher Tang, standing to the side, looked at Xu Sanshi and felt that the other party's expression did not seem to be fake. Moreover, based on his interactions with Xu Sanshi over this period of time, he had not detected the slightest trace of treason in the other party.

Teacher Tang couldn't help but speak up: "Elder Xuan, I feel that we may have misunderstood Xu Sanshi. Why don't we investigate this matter more carefully?"

“Misunderstanding? Absolutely not.” Xuanzi was extremely confident. “Don’t be fooled by his tough attitude now. As long as I use the torture instruments, he will confess everything honestly. The ancestors of Shrek Academy who interrogated prisoners said that as long as torture instruments are used, they can pry open the mouths of traitors and make them become sensible.”

“Torture instruments? Isn’t this a bit too cruel? Besides, isn’t this just forcing a confession? I don’t think we can get the truth out of this.” Teacher Tang hesitated.

Xuanzi said, "You think you're smarter than our ancestor?"
