Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

"Xuanzi!!"

Jing Hongchen's roar exploded like thunder, his voice filled with suppressed rage, "What are you doing!?"

Although the two were still some distance apart, he had already used his access to investigate the surveillance footage, and what he saw almost made his heart stop.

The underground armory was in ruins; Xu Guozhong, a ninth-level Soul Master, was barely breathing, like a candle flickering in the wind; and Xuanzi was frantically trying to break through the gate to the third level.

Each of Xuanzi's impacts caused the entire warehouse to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.

Jing Hongchen's vision went black as well.

Isn't this guy a bit too arrogant?

After killing their Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master, instead of running away, they acted as if they were invincible and continued to push their luck.

Burning with anger, Jing Hongchen was also somewhat puzzled.

Mingdetang had already reached a deep cooperation agreement with Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, agreeing to jointly deal with the threats from the Holy Spirit Cult and Xu Tianran. How could Shrek Academy betray them at this time?
If Jing Hongchen hadn't been familiar with Elder Mu and Yuhao's ways of doing things, and knew that they were not the kind of people who would betray someone after using them, she would have even suspected that she had been deliberately set up by them.

Seeing Xuanzi's clear actions and goals, Jing Hongchen's thoughts raced, and a terrible idea instantly entered his mind. He immediately quickened his pace.

"Do you know what you're doing? Stop it right now!"

The sound came from afar, but Xuanzi remained unmoved. He even quickened his pace, sensing that Jing Hongchen was about to arrive at the scene.

"Xuanzi! You listen to me!"

Jing Hongchen's voice trembled with anxiety, and she spoke rapidly, as if rattling off a string of pearls:
"The warehouses on the third floor are almost all filled with soul-guided cannonballs. If they are detonated simultaneously under immense external pressure, their power will be even greater than that of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. The explosion range will cover nearly one-third of Mingdu. Even a Limit Douluo might not survive in the very center of the explosion!"

Faced with such nuclear deterrence, Xuanzi was first stunned, and then, feeling a sense of fear, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

A massive explosion powerful enough to threaten a Limit Douluo?

Although Xuanzi, being a "nine leaky fish" (a term referring to someone who relies on soul tools), knew nothing about soul tools, he was still a battle-hardened veteran and had some understanding of the explosive power of this level.

At this point in time, the Soul Master Competition has just ended, and the population density of Mingdu is still at its peak. If an explosion of this magnitude were to occur, how many innocent lives would it take?
At that point, it won't be a question of whether Shrek Academy can become great again, but rather that Shrek will lose the support of the people of the continent, or even be condemned by the entire continent, becoming the target of everyone's criticism...

Xuanzi pursed his lips, his brows furrowed. Even though he loathed the Sun Moon Empire, he knew that the common people were innocent.

On one hand, there was the goal of in-depth assessment; on the other hand, there were tens of thousands of lives at stake. This was the first time Xuanzi had faced such a difficult choice.

His original idea was actually very simple: to simply blow up the underground warehouse and reduce all the rare metals and the soul tools on the third floor to ashes in a powerful explosion.

It would be even better if the explosion could spread for several kilometers and destroy the nearby Mingde Hall as well.

Mingde Hall is the foundation of the Sun Moon Empire. If it is destroyed in the explosion, it will definitely set back the research of soul tools in the entire Sun Moon Empire by several years!

Having suffered such a huge loss, the Sun Moon Empire will have to postpone launching any future wars of aggression for several years.

Wouldn't that make me a great hero?
What decapitation plan can compare to his contributions?

So you're saying the explosion could destroy a third of Mingdu?!

Xuanzi was somewhat at ease.

Those are tens of thousands of innocent lives! No matter how arrogant he is, he cannot bear this responsibility!

“God loves the world… How could the gods make me do such a thing?” Xuanzi muttered to himself, a hint of doubt creeping into his heart.

However, the trials Tang Yin experienced in the Valley of Love and Destiny were clearly a test of his character. When Tang Yin recovered from his injuries, Xuanzi even sensed a warm and sacred aura.

Such a benevolent deity doesn't seem like the work of an evil god at all; His true intention was definitely not like that!
Did I understand it wrongly?

Seeing Xuanzi gradually stop, Jing Hongchen's face was extremely ugly. His words just now seemed a bit alarmist, but they were not unfounded.

If only the armory warehouse was detonated, since all the level 7 and above soul guides and shells had already been moved away, what remained would not reach the point where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Furthermore, this place is hundreds of meters underground, and the underground warehouse is constructed with an extremely sturdy structure. Even if an explosion were to occur inside, it would at most spread to a kilometer, and the power would certainly not be that exaggerated.

The problem is that in an underground warehouse of the nearby Mingde Hall, there are more than a dozen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, known as the King of Destruction, lying dormant.

If this were to trigger a chain reaction, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Moreover, these three-story warehouses store a large amount of strategic materials. If they were to disappear so easily, even a wealthy and powerful empire like the Sun Moon Empire would not be able to withstand such a loss.

The most urgent task is to keep Xuanzi calm!
Although he was wary of the opponent's formidable strength, Jing Hongchen had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. He contacted some people through the Spirit Network beforehand and then arrived at the scene.

Jing Hongchen softened his tone: "Xuanzi, you should know that our Mingde Hall has reached a cooperation agreement with Shrek Academy. As long as you stop now, I can let bygones be bygones, and we can sit down and talk slowly."

"What cooperation?"

Seeing that Jing Hongchen didn't seem too hostile, Xuanzi's pupils shrank slightly, his face full of astonishment and confusion. "How come I didn't know about this cooperation? Nobody told me about it either."

Could it be a decapitation plan?!
Why did you keep it from me? He's a Super Douluo of Shrek Academy, how could you not inform him of such a big thing?
Today's attack was truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple...

Jing Hongchen continued his therapy sessions.

Xuanzi suddenly had a plan!
If we can get Jing Hongchen's cooperation, then the Deep Adventure quest seems to be easy to complete.
It's just a performance.

Regardless of the power of the explosion, just tell me whether the fixed soul-guided bomb was detonated at the location designated by Mingdu?

Xuanzi's eyes lit up, and he immediately interrupted Jing Hongchen, revealing his plan.

Mirror Red Dust: ?

Xuanzi, are you awake?!

Is it that we've lost our ability to wield the knife, or have you become arrogant?
At this moment, Xuanzi also had a bitter pill to swallow.

Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night; he certainly wanted to flaunt the divine assessment, but such a thing was still far from being realized.

If this information is leaked, it might attract the covetous eyes of other forces and could even affect Tang Yin's assessment.

In order to prevent others from knowing about this divine opportunity, he could only talk about other things and remain vague.

"You just need to cooperate with me."

"Then tell me why?"

The situation remained deadlocked, the alarm continued to flash, and the red warning light reflected on the two men's faces, creating a slightly oppressive atmosphere.

Seeing Jing Hongchen's face grow increasingly dark, Xuanzi grew anxious: "Quickly think of a solution! Amazing wisdom!"

A brilliant insight: It's time to unleash superpowers!
Regardless, let's blow it up first.

Tang Yin's divine opportunity is right in front of him. If the mission fails, Tang Yin is very likely to die as a punishment for deep adventure!
Once a teacher, always a father!

Now that things have come to this, how can he just stand by and watch his "good son" get into trouble?
Moreover, Tang Yin is a grateful child. If he truly becomes a god, he will certainly not forget his master. At that time, he will be the only master of the gods. This honor and this contribution to Shrek Academy are far more important than his current concerns!
Just do it!

"Just come with me!"

"Drink!"

Xuanzi suddenly let out a long, earth-shattering roar, the sound waves echoing like thunder, causing the nearby rubble to rattle.

A rich, bright yellow light burst forth from his body, as heavy as the earth, carrying an overwhelming aura that could crush everything.

Martial Soul True Form, activate!
Muscles replace the brain, using sharp thinking!
Due to space constraints, Xuanzi's Martial Soul True Form did not display the magnificent form of a hundred-meter-tall beast, but remained a smaller version of less than ten meters.

Even so, the soul power fluctuations of the level 98 Super Douluo still erupted without reservation, with thick earth-attribute soul power surging, making the surrounding air unusually stagnant and heavy.

The nine spirit rings beneath it flashed alternately, and its four hooves pounded the ground heavily. The body of the Taotie Divine Ox was engulfed in earth-yellow flames, exuding an indestructible and heavy aura.

The next second, the bull's horns lit up with a dazzling light, and its massive body pointed straight at the third gate buried by the collapsed rock layer, as if it could smash through mountains.

"Damn it! This old thing won't listen to human speech, will it?" Jing Hongchen was so angry that his teeth itched as he looked at the Taotie Divine Ox that was charging straight at the gate.

At the critical moment, the toad martial spirit instantly possessed him, and the martial spirit's true form was enhanced with a level nine defensive soul tool.

Protected in the mortal world, unbreakable!
"boom!"

The aftershocks from the Taotie Divine Ox's charge at the gate spread like a tide, and Jing Hongchen's body shone with a dazzling light, forcefully stopping this shockwave that was powerful enough to overturn the alloy wall.

At the same time, the high-level Soul Masters who received the alarm rushed to the vicinity. Instead of rashly joining the battle, they raced against time to move the rare metals piled up on the first two layers under Jing Hongchen's command.

Regardless of whether an explosion will occur later, the safest option is to move these vital resources of the empire away first.

As for the other ninth-level Soul Master who accompanied them, it was Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin.

On the way, Jing Hongchen arranged for Ye Yulin to go and disperse the personnel of Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Academy, and to move Mingde Hall's level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons to a safe area at all costs!
As one of the top three level-nine soul masters in the empire, Ye Yulin's strength and experience are beyond doubt. Jing Hongchen is very reassured that he is in charge of the evacuation and transfer.

Moreover, he had already asked Huo Yuhao for help.

The only thing we can do is drag it out until the Spirit Pagoda arrives. Once this farce is over, it will be time for reckoning!
Seeing Xuanzi still frantically attacking the gate, Jing Hongchen felt both frustrated and angry.

The last time Mingde Hall was in such a tense situation was because of the Body Sect's underground attack. Unexpectedly, this time it was because of Shrek Academy, which always prides itself on being the righteous one on the continent!
Of course, Jing Hongchen could tell that this was Xuanzi's personal behavior; the guy had clearly lost his mind and gone mad.

That old bastard has no shame!

So brazen, they don't even care about the safety of ordinary people...

Damn, is this guy really not an evil spirit master?
A cold glint flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes. He took a deep breath and shouted sharply at Xuanzi:

"Xuanzi, if you continue to be so stubborn, then be prepared to bear the wrath of Mingde Hall and Chuanling Tower!"

“They will understand me!” Xuanzi’s voice was calm but carried an undeniable firmness, and the bull’s horns continued to pound without stopping.

With the help of Jing Hongchen, Xuanzi has become even more unscrupulous.

The two people's actions formed a strange tacit understanding.

A demolition done without using any fancy soul skills, relying solely on brute force.

One used every trick in the book to strengthen the defense.

"It's pretty tough."

Xuanzi let out a meaningful sigh. Seeing that the time was right, he took the initiative to deactivate his Martial Soul True Body and slammed his palms together.

A dazzling, earthy-yellow flame rose along the soul ring, converging into a torrent of soul power condensed to its extreme.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a weapon that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, bright yellow in color, and looked somewhat like a chicken leg materialized in his hand.

The large chicken leg lashed out towards the door.

Jing Hongchen was jolted awake. Instinctively sensing the life-or-death threat, he immediately used all his strength to resist the crushing blow.

Amidst a deafening roar.

The level nine defensive shield flickered wildly before shattering. Jing Hongchen felt a sharp pain in his chest and was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. He was forced to withdraw from his Martial Soul True Body, his face as pale as paper.

This was even with Elder Xuan holding back.

The difference in soul power is evident, as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm.

boom--

The door to the third floor was forcibly broken down, revealing a staircase extending downwards for twenty meters.

Upon entering, Xuanzi's gaze instantly went blank.

He finally understood why Jing Hongchen had been so desperate to stop him, and why she had been constantly weakening the aftershocks of the battle to prevent them from affecting the third level.

Before me stretched an endless steel forest, more than ten times the size of the first floor, covering at least 100,000 square meters.

In the vast plaza, the first thing that catches the eye is the row of soul-guided cannons.

Such a large number, if used to arm the army...

Xuanzi simply couldn't imagine it.

If we send these out to equip the Sun Moon Legion, it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito when facing the Douluo Three Kingdoms army.

The guiding golden light from Qiankun Wenqing Valley vibrated continuously, finally bringing Xuanzi back to his senses from the shock.

So, does the deity mean to sacrifice the lesser for the greater?
After all, if these explosives and soul tools were used in the war of aggression launched by the Sun Moon Empire in the future, the casualties would only be greater!
Let's just blow it up, whatever...

In any case, Xuanzi himself did not feel any fatal danger here, and Jing Hongchen was definitely exaggerating.

Besides, with myself and Jing Hongchen here to cover for us, even if an explosion really happens, we should be able to control the situation in time.

Xuanzi's gaze hardened.

He's here to end this war!

The greater good means standing on one's own side.

If he had to choose between Sun Moon Capital and Douluo Continent, one would inevitably suffer devastation, and he would certainly choose to sacrifice Sun Moon Capital.

So here's the question: can a bomb be timed?
I can't exactly let my own body explode, can I? (End of Chapter)
