Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 128 Get Out of Shrek! (Two Chapters Combined)

Under Yan Shaozhe's expectant gaze, Mu En slowly nodded, "Not only do we have news about Huo Yuhao, but we also have leads on Lin'er and Fan Yu."

"Where are they now?" Yan Shaozhe asked impatiently upon hearing this.

"Mingdu, Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy".

As soon as Mu En finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe's expression changed from surprise to shock, and finally to anger.

"How dare they go to the Sun Moon Empire! This is tantamount to treason!" Yan Shaozhe was furious and immediately walked outside. "No, I have to arrest them..."

"Come back!" Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mu En's stern voice.

"What do you want to do? Break in and forcibly take them away? Let's not even talk about whether you can do it or not. Even if you can, what will the world think of Shrek Academy?"

Unreasonable and arbitrary? The Sun Moon Empire already harbors resentment towards us and has been struggling to find a suitable reason to retaliate. Your actions are tantamount to giving them an opportunity to strike!

Yan Shaozhe abruptly stopped in his tracks, turned around, his expression agitated, his voice tinged with sorrow, "Teacher, only an ultimate Ice Soul Master can solve Xiao Tao's condition now."

The ultimate martial soul, which has appeared no more than a handful of times since Shrek Academy was founded ten thousand years ago, makes Huo Yuhao almost the only one with the ultimate ice in the present and even the next few hundred years.

No matter what, I must bring him back. Don't worry, if there are any negative comments afterward, I will leave the academy and take full responsibility.

Mu En felt helpless, but since Yan Shaozhe had even said he would leave the academy for Ma Xiaotao's sake, he couldn't say anything harsher. He couldn't help but worry more about the future of Shrek Academy.

Lin'er, you know perfectly well that Huo Yuhao is Xiao Tao's only lifeline, can you really be so heartless?

Moon was filled with melancholy, his brows furrowed with deep worry, and he let out a helpless sigh.

"Don't worry about this for now. As for Xiao Tao's problem, I will go to Mingdu myself. During my absence, keep a close eye on Xiao Tao and make sure she doesn't come into contact with anything that could worsen her symptoms."

"Yes." Yan Shaozhe immediately showed a look of joy. He was also apprehensive about being sent alone to Mingdu, the most central place of the Sun Moon Empire.

It is well known that the Sun Moon Empire does not have any experts who have reached the Super Douluo level of cultivation, but that does not mean that it does not have experts with Super Douluo-level combat power.

That's Mingdu, the seat of the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. It's definitely not a place where a level 95 Super Douluo like him has the right to cause trouble.

Moreover, he also has to face Xian Lin'er, who is neither friend nor foe. He is not even confident in defeating Xian Lin'er, let alone adding the other unknown number of Title Douluo.

He actually said that on purpose, knowing that the teacher would definitely scold him and most likely personally bring the person back. As it turned out, he was right.

“These are turbulent times…” Mu En, unaware that he had been betrayed by his most trusted disciple, sighed and then his figure vanished from the room in an instant.

Shrek Academy, cafeteria.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong sat facing each other, their expressions showing a hint of relief.

"Have you made up your mind?" Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Wang Dong nodded silently, "I have."

"Haotian Sect, you reclusive sects are quite well hidden. Apart from knowing that you are in the Tianhun Empire, we can't find any other information about you," Xiao Xiao muttered with a puzzled expression.

"You said yourself that it's a hidden sect, so it would be strange if it were exposed to all Soul Masters." Upon hearing this, Wang Dong couldn't help but chuckle.

"No, look at the Xuanming Sect behind Senior Sanshi. It is also a hidden sect, but I know their exact location very well."

Xiao Xiao immediately retorted, and Wang Dong looked somewhat helpless, "How can they be the same? The Xuanming Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are the same; they each have their own way of operating and need to communicate with the outside world."

Our Haotian Sect neither sells pills nor accepts commissions, so naturally we won't reveal our location.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao seemed to want to say something more, Wang Dong immediately changed the subject, "Let's not talk about me, what about you, what are you planning to do?"

"To be honest, I don't know either. I used to think Shrek Academy was a good place where I could not only make friends but also hone my skills..."

"That's true. You did make friends and hone your skills. At the age of twelve, you participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it torture."

Wang Dong agreed wholeheartedly, but Xiao Xiao glared at him fiercely, "Don't interrupt me!"

"Alright, alright, you can continue." Wang Dong made a shushing gesture, indicating that Xiao Xiao should continue.

"Oh dear, you've made me forget what I was going to say." Xiao Xiao glared at him again, her face showing a mix of helplessness and disappointment.

"Anyway, after staying here for more than a year, my illusions about Shrek Academy as the number one academy on the continent have been shattered."

Especially that Elder Xuan, just thinking about him makes me angry! I've made up my mind, I'm going home after this school year ends. My family never wanted me to come all this way to Shrek Academy, it was me who insisted on coming here.”

"Leaving is the right thing to do. This place is definitely not a good place. By the way, I've never asked you before, where do you live?" Wang Dong picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, asking casually.

"Douling Empire, Moding City".

"Mo Ding City? That name sounds familiar." Wang Dong said subconsciously, then suddenly his eyes widened. "Mo Ding, Mo Ding Douluo?"

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao smiled smugly, "You do have some knowledge. That's right, I am from the Xiao family of Mo Ding City. My father is the city lord of Mo Ding City and the current Mo Ding Douluo."

"I didn't realize you were hiding this so well. I've never heard you mention it before." Wang Dong looked at Xiao Xiong with amazement. The reason for this was all because of the Mo Ding Douluo that Xiao Xiao had mentioned.

Mo Ding City is the largest city in the eastern part of the Dou Ling Empire. The name Mo Ding is taken from the name of Mo Ding Douluo.

About a hundred years ago, before Moding City was renamed, Longyuan City was attacked by a group of powerful evil soul masters who massacred the city in order to cultivate.

Most of these evil soul masters were Soul Douluo and Title Douluo, and their leader was an evil soul master whose strength had reached the terrifying level of Super Douluo.

This group of evil spirit masters entered the eastern part of the Douling Empire from the border, committing all sorts of atrocities, including burning, killing, and looting. Even the Douling Empire at that time suffered a defeat at their hands.

Just as this group of evil soul masters were causing trouble in Longyuan City, the head of the Xiao family at the time stepped forward. He was known as Mo Ding and was also a Super Douluo.

He led the group to annihilate all the evil soul masters, and from then on, Longyuan City was officially renamed Moding City, and Moding Douluo became the new city lord.

Each generation of the Xiao family head receives the title of Mo Ding, which also signifies taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting Mo Ding City. "With this background, what are you doing here at Shrek Academy? If I were you, I definitely wouldn't leave Mo Ding City."

"Hmph! Then why don't you stay in your Haotian Sect?" Xiao Xiao asked with dissatisfaction upon hearing Wang Dong's words.

“We are different.” Wang Dong recalled the Haotian Sect, which stood atop the mountain and was entirely made of rock. He didn’t even bother to mention that simple place.

"I wonder how Yuhao is doing now. Dean Xian has left, as have Teacher Zhou and the senior students. They all left without a word."

Xiao Xiao's tone carried a hint of worry, and Wang Dong's face darkened upon hearing this. He was even more eager than Xiao Xiao to know Huo Yuhao's current situation.

Wang Dong had a question in his mind: why didn't Huo Yuhao tell him before leaving? Did he think he would stop him?
Wang Dong was not a fool. After everyone returned to Shrek Academy and learned that Xian Lin'er was no longer an elder of Shrek Academy when she came to Xingluo City, he vaguely sensed something.

Combined with the sudden disappearance of Zhou Yi and Cai Tou, Wang Dong could almost conclude that this was definitely a premeditated departure.

Huo Yuhao and the others who left all planned their departure; otherwise, the current situation would be inexplicable.

The only thing Wang Dong couldn't understand was why Huo Yuhao hadn't told him that after more than a year of getting to know each other, the two were extremely familiar with each other.

He never felt much of a sense of belonging to Shrek Academy, let alone Elder Xuan who wanted them to take banned drugs. He even developed some animosity towards Shrek Academy.

He didn't believe Huo Yuhao was unaware of his dislike for Shrek Academy; if Huo Yuhao suggested leaving, he would definitely go with him.

So why exactly did Huo Yuhao deliberately avoid him? Wang Dong didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

“With Dean Xian here, they are definitely safe,” Wang Dong said softly. Xiao Xiao agreed. As a Super Douluo, Xian Lin’er was at least safe.

"What are your plans? Are you going back to the Haotian Sect?"

"I'll go back and stay for a while. As for what happens after that, I haven't thought about it yet." Wang Dong seemed a little lost when Xiao Xiao asked him.

"Well, you can't do that either. I've already made plans for what I'll do after leaving Shrek Academy." Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows, her tone full of smugness.

"Oh?" Xiao Xiao's words piqued Wang Dong's interest, and he immediately asked curiously, "What are your plans?"

"I want to learn about soul tools!" Xiao Xiao said with a bright smile, enunciating each word clearly.

"Learning about soul tools? You want to become a soul tool master? Why? I've never seen you interested in soul tools before." Wang Dong was taken aback, quite surprised by Xiao Xiao's answer.

"I used to think that the spirit is the foundation of a soul master, and that soul tools are just external things, so I had a prejudice against soul tools."

This competition made me realize that my previous prejudices against soul tools were completely wrong; the power they displayed was truly astounding.

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, a special light flashing in her eyes, her excitement undisguised.

"The soul tool not only helps me break free from the limitations of the control system, making my attack methods more flexible and varied, but it also greatly helps in other aspects."

A soul tool for flight in the air, a soul tool thruster that can instantly burst with terrifying speed, a soul tool shield that can protect oneself, and an invincible shield that can save one's life in critical moments.

We Soul Masters strive to cultivate so that we can become stronger and have more powerful combat abilities, right? Soul tools can completely help us achieve this goal.

As a control-type character, I am countered by agility-type characters, and my chances of winning a one-on-one match against someone of the same level are almost zero.

But once I equip a soul tool, I can completely become a defensive type that counters agility-based attacks. Just one soul tool armor can greatly increase my win rate.

Not to mention those soul tools with unpredictable functions. The absolute defensive soul tools used by the Star Luo Royal Academy before—if you didn't recognize them beforehand, you were destined to lose in battle.

Xiao Xiao's tone was very firm, "I will try to learn as much as possible about soul tools in this year, and then learn how to make soul tools and become a soul tool master after returning to Moding City."

Of course, if I don't have that talent, I can only learn how to use it.

"A Soul Guidance Device? That's a pretty good decision," Wang Dong murmured. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling whenever he heard the word "Soul Guidance Device."

This feeling was hard to describe; it was as if an invisible hand was preventing him from accessing anything related to soul tools. Wang Dong was very puzzled by this.

He didn't know why he had this strange feeling; he only discovered it during the competition.

At that time, in order to lose the game more gracefully and avoid injury, a group of people from their reserve team went to the Soul Tool Auction House to buy a lot of Soul Tools.

At the time, he didn't think much of it. He was actually quite curious and excited when he heard that he was going to buy a soul tool.

Wang Yan bought a lot of soul tools at the time, and Wang Dong was given a soul tool shield and two long-range soul tools that were similar to soul tool rays.

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but the moment he touched the soul tool, a strong sense of repulsion arose inexplicably within him.

This feeling of rejection appeared inexplicably, with a huge contrast between before and after. One second Wang Dong was still curious about the soul tool, and the next second his heart was filled with rejection.

Wang Dong initially thought it was just his imagination and intended to suppress his discomfort and test the effect of the soul tool.

As a result, when he tried to inject soul power, he found himself dizzy. The more he tried to inject soul power, the stronger the dizziness became, and eventually it even turned into physical nausea.

Wang Dong tried it many times in secret, but without exception, as soon as he had the thought of injecting soul power to use the soul tool, this dizziness would appear quickly, making his mind scattered and his body uncomfortable.

After several attempts, Wang Dong was filled with fear; the feeling was too eerie.

It cannot be explained by any logic. Touching the soul tool will cause symptoms of weakness throughout the body, and trying to use it will cause an even greater reaction.

Wang Dong even thought he had been cursed, so he basically didn't use his soul tool in the subsequent battles.

"Wang Dong, what's wrong?" Xiao Xiao asked with concern when she saw Wang Dong suddenly stare blankly after she finished speaking.

Wang Dong was woken up by Xiao Xiao and forced a smile. "I'm fine, let's continue eating."
