Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 106 I found it by my own skill, why should I return it to you?

Because of Zhou Xuan's occasional meddling.

The members of the Sun and Moon team were fighting very frustratingly, not only having to guard against their own opponents, but also against Zhou Xuan's sneak attacks.

What's even more frustrating is that Zhou Xuan not only caused trouble, but also stole their equipment! This meant that the more they fought, the fewer soul tools they had left, making it even harder for them to withstand the opponent's attacks.

Finally, the team battle ended after Zhou Xuan removed the metal soul-guided armor from Mika's body.

All members of the Sun and Moon team were sent off the battle stage.

The shields around the battle platform dissipated, and Xu Tianqiong slowly descended, standing in the center of the arena.

"In the final team battle of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, Shrek Academy has won. The individual elimination rounds will begin soon. Please prepare yourselves."

The entire Star Luo Square erupted in cheers for Shrek Academy's victory.

They all initially thought this match would be extremely difficult, given the formidable strength that the Sun and Moon team had previously displayed.
Unexpectedly, Shrek Academy had hidden a secret weapon, Zhou Xuan, who defeated the Hongchen siblings in a two-on-one battle.

Xu Jiawei looked at the cheering crowd on the field and did not order anyone to stop them. In any case, it was much better for Shrek Academy to win than for the Sun Moon Empire to win.

The seven members of Shrek Academy returned to the rest room unharmed, with only minor injuries. However, except for Zhou Xuan, everyone else had exhausted a significant amount of their soul power.

Zhou Xuan was toying with a soul-guided metal ball he had picked up from Ma Rulong, muttering incantations to himself.

Before he knew it, He Caitou and Huo Yuhao had already gathered around him.

"Junior Brother Zhou Xuan, can I take a look at this soul tool?" Compared to Huo Yuhao, He Caitou's desire for a soul tool was undoubtedly enormous.

After all, he was just a food-type Soul Master, and the only thing he could rely on to gain great strength was a Soul Tool.

Zhou Xuan nodded and controlled the soul tool in front of him to float to his side: "After the competition, would you and your senior brother be interested in spending some time in my lab?"
"If you agree, senior brother, you can study any of the soul tools you found in this competition."

Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Wang Yan, who was walking towards him, twitched at the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself.

"Found it? You have the nerve to say that?"

If he hadn't witnessed everything with his own eyes, and given Zhou Xuan's nonchalant attitude, he would almost have believed it.

Before He Caitou could respond, Ma Rulong and several teammates strode over aggressively, while Jing Hongchen followed at the back of the group with a smile on his face.

"Give us back our soul tools!" Ma Rulong said stiffly as he absorbed the soul power from the milk bottle.

The Sun Moon team members behind him also looked at Zhou Xuan with angry expressions.

Almost everyone who had a soul tool had one or two stolen by Zhou Xuan.

Moreover, Zhou Xuan had a keen eye and managed to steal only key soul tools.

As soul masters, they cherish these things as if they were treasures, but they were taken away right in front of them and are now being played with in their hands.

It's even more painful than killing them.

The Shrek students all looked at Zhou Xuan, since he was the one who took the items.

However, if the Sun and Moon team tries to take it by force, they will not stand idly by.

Zhou Xuan looked up at the group, chuckled, and put the items back into his storage soul tool right in front of them.

"I found it by my own skill, why should I return it to you?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong and his companions thought, "How can we tolerate this?"

"What do you mean you picked it up? You clearly stole it from us! You shameless thief!" Mika, standing next to Ma Rulong, blushed.

"Hehe, the arena is like a battlefield. If your weapon is taken away by the enemy on the battlefield, do you expect them to return it to you before you fight? That's ridiculous."

"You!" Riyue and the others were so angry that they couldn't speak, and they couldn't even refute him.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen stepped forward.

"Young man, tell me, what are your conditions?" As the saying goes, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain."

Since Zhou Xuan took these soul tools, he must have his own purpose. As long as his purpose is fulfilled, it doesn't matter whether these soul tools exist or not.

"Master Jing is indeed very straightforward." Zhou Xuan remained unfazed in front of the ninth-level Soul Master, because Elder Xuan had somehow appeared beside him, scrutinizing Jing Hongchen from head to toe.

"Oh, you know me?"

"Of course, I know the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire."

"In that case, state your conditions."

Zhou Xuan nodded, and the metal sphere of the soul tool that he had just taken back reappeared. This was Ma Rulong's soul tool.

"Two soul tools of the same level, how about exchanging them for this one? Does Hall Master Jing have any objections?"

Or rather, do you dare to have any objections?

Jing Hongchen narrowed his already small eyes even more: "Kid, with such a big appetite, aren't you afraid you won't be able to finish it all?"

"Hehe, how's your appetite, kid? No need for Hall Master Jing to worry about that. If you're not willing, you can leave now." Zhou Xuan still looked at Jing Hongchen with a smile.

"Dean!" The people around Jing Hongchen looked anxious. They wanted it, but they were afraid that the price they would have to pay would be too high.

The soul tools in Zhou Xuan's hands were all specially made by them, and the loss of any one of them would affect the upcoming battle.

Jing Hongchen naturally understood this as well, so he had to do the deal whether he wanted to or not.

After all, they've fought this far, and they won't give up as long as there's even the slightest chance of winning the championship.

"Alright! I agree!" A white light flashed in Jing Hongchen's hand, and two soul tools of different shapes appeared in his hand.
Elder Xuan's soul power trembled, and the pale yellow soul power transformed into a shield in front of Zhou Xuan.

Although Jing Hongchen is unlikely to make a move at this time, Elder Xuan still needs to be on guard, after all, this Soul Master Competition is far from peaceful.

Even someone as carefree as him has become cautious.

Zhou Xuan glanced at them and roughly understood the function of the two soul tools, then shook his head with a smile.

"It seems that Master Jing thinks I'm a fool."

"Oh~ Of course not. These two are indeed level six soul tools, the same level as the metal ball in your hand."

Jing Hongchen smiled. He hadn't expected that Zhou Xuan was not only powerful but also skilled in using soul tools. He had actually recognized the value of these two soul tools at a glance.

He sighed inwardly, "Looks like I'm going to have to pay a hefty price this time."

He had tricked Zhou Xuan this time, and it probably wouldn't be so easy for him to get back the remaining soul tools. Zhou Xuan chuckled lightly and remained silent.

The levels are indeed the same, but the two soul tools combined are not as valuable as the metal ball in his hand.

The two soul tools in Jing Hongchen's hands were only the lowest-level sixth-grade soul tools, barely reaching the threshold of sixth grade.

The difference between the two is as huge as that between a C-grade and an SSR-grade.

However, he had already said it, and he wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat. It was just that He Caitou, who was behind him, looked on with a pained expression.

These are all treasures!

Zhou Xuan waved his hand, and the metal ball returned to Ma Rulong's hand. Jing Hongchen also kept his promise and gave him two level-six soul tools.

He then took out another item from his storage soul tool, a melee soul tool that belonged to Chen Fei.

"Master Jing, this level-six soul tool is quite valuable. How about exchanging it for five level-six soul tools?"

Zhou Xuan looked at Jing Hongchen with a half-smile. That level-six soul tool was already the most stripped-down version; by that standard, a five-for-one exchange was quite reasonable.
After all, even if it's been nerfed, the materials used in the soul tool are still there.

"You've gone too far!" Chen Fei took a step forward, but was stopped by Jing Hongchen.

Zhou Xuan's eyes narrowed, piercing him like a sharp sword: "I'm just bullying you! So what? Besides, it was your Mirror Hall Master who tried to outsmart me first, wasn't he?"

He then sneered, "This is just the beginning." With that, he waved his hand, and a row of soul tools floated in front of him.

There were ten items in total, all of which were picked up by Zhou Xuan during the Sun and Moon Team competition, and almost all of them were level six soul tools.

"Each time you replace one item, you'll need another soul tool of the same level. Whether you want to replace them, and which one to replace first, is up to you."

If you feel heartbroken, remember the saying: go back to where you came from!

"Wait!" Mika called out to Zhou Xuan, "Where's my Soul Guidance Armor!?"

This is his most crucial soul tool; without it, he would definitely not be a match for Shrek Soul King.

Zhou Xuan nodded in a mocking manner, putting on an innocent expression: "You mean that battle armor? Sorry, it's not for sale!"

Just kidding. This armor is practically unique in the world, except for the Sun Moon Empire. If it's given away, how can he study it?

It's impossible to change it!
Even the usually good-tempered Jing Hongchen lost his smile: "It was my fault just now. How about we exchange three items for one?"

However, for the sake of his students' upcoming battles, he still adopted a very humble attitude.

But Zhou Xuan wouldn't give him that kind of face.

"Take it or leave it!" Zhou Xuan turned around and sat down on the sofa, while the ten soul tools remained floating in front of Jing Hongchen.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, anyone with a brain wouldn't choose to snatch it directly, let alone with Elder Xuan standing right in front of him.

However, Zhou Xuan was quite looking forward to him directly taking it, since Jing Hongchen would most likely be one of the people involved in the potential crisis that might arise later.

If he makes a move now, Elder Xuan and the others will also have a chance to act. At such close range, no matter how many tricks Jing Hongchen has up his sleeve, at least one of them will be seriously injured.

This will also reduce some of the pressure later on.

However, Jing Hongchen wasn't stupid; he silently calculated the number of soul tools he needed.

He tossed out a storage soul guide ring: "A total of ninety-five level-six soul guides."

Although it looks like a lot, it's nothing special to Jing Hongchen. After all, it's just a level six soul tool, not a particularly good thing.

Zhou Xuan took the storage soul guide ring and probed it with his spiritual power: "Master Mirror is indeed generous!"

"Hmph!" Jing Hongchen flicked his sleeve and retrieved all ten soul tools that were floating in mid-air.

"let's go!"

After they left, Elder Xuan returned to his corner and sat down. Wang Yan walked up to Zhou Xuan and said, "You, you, since you knew who he was, why did you still offend him like that?"

Zhou Xuan looked up at him: "What? Is Teacher Wang scared?"

Wang Yan shook his head, he just felt it was unnecessary: ​​"The individual elimination rounds are about to begin, let's make a simple pre-battle arrangement."

"Dai Yueheng will go first, Chen Zifeng second, Jiang Nannan third, Zhou Xuan fourth, Ling Luochen fifth, and Bei Bei and Wang Dong, you two will go last. Is that alright?"

"no problem!"

Then Wang Yan looked at Zhou Xuan: "Zhou Xuan, I know you didn't go all out in the team battle just now, so I hope you can go all out in the next battle, okay?"

Zhou Xuan nodded; he planned to do it even if Wang Yan hadn't said anything.

If they win the Soul Master Competition for Shrek Academy, their chances of becoming the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master will be much higher.

However, he had a different opinion regarding the order of the matches: "Teacher Wang, I hope I can go first, is that okay?"

Wang Yan frowned. He had carefully arranged the order of the matches and did not want to change it unless there was a reason: "If you have a good reason, I can let you go first."

"I think that as our strongest fighter, Senior Dai Yueheng could wear down Ma Rulong and get him out of the game."
With Dai's abilities, no one else can rival him.

"Are you sure you can wear down Ma Rulong? If not, we'll be in a disadvantageous position."

"Sure! I promise!" If it were a normal Soul Master, Zhou Xuan might not be able to beat her, like Jiang Nannan, but who could blame him when the other party was a Soul Master?

A Soul Master with such strong mental power has a natural ability to restrain Soul Masters, not to mention that he himself is a Soul Master.

As long as he keeps winning, he can face all seven members of the Sun and Moon team.

In this way, he can still retrieve the soul tool that he just swapped out.

It's equivalent to getting nearly a hundred level-six soul tools from Jing Hongchen for free.

This was a plan he had already devised the moment Jing Hongchen appeared.

"Okay!" Wang Yan agreed to Zhou Xuan's suggestion, mainly because Zhou Xuan's performance in the previous team battle gave Wang Yan enough confidence.

"Winning the individual challenge means you can skip the last match and go straight to the championship. I hope everyone will give it their all!"
However, there's no need to feel too much pressure, after all, we still have advantages!

In the rest room of the Sun and Moon team, the team leader was making final pre-match arrangements, while Jing Hongchen sat alone to one side, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"The order of appearance will proceed as planned, but one thing to be careful about is protecting your soul tools and not giving the enemy any further opportunities!"

"Good!" The men wanted nothing more than to grind Zhou Xuan to dust just thinking about his ugly face.

Meng Hongchen clenched her fists, determined to teach Zhou Xuan a lesson later!
