Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

The team of two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings who were going to eliminate the evil soul masters were unexpectedly disrupted by an evil soul master at the Soul King level. Among the regular team members, only Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and Ling Luochen survived, and the rest died in the cave.

That evil soul master of the Soul King level took away his great-great-grandson right under Xuan Zi's nose and entered the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire!

Four dead, two seriously injured, Beibei taken captive...

Old Mu looked out the window, his cloudy eyes full of depression and anger in his heart.

After a long while, Mu Lao sighed deeply and said to the people around him, "Call Xuanzi in."

Outside the Poseidon Pavilion, under the golden tree.

Xuan Zi, who returned with the bodies of Gong Yang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng, Xixi, as well as Broken Leg and Cai Tou, sat on the ground with a sad face, biting a greasy chicken leg in his mouth and occasionally taking a gulp of wine.

"Master Xuan, Master Mu wants you to come in."

Xuanzi, who was sitting on the ground with red and swollen eyes, eating chicken legs and drinking wine, looked at the people in front of the Poseidon Pavilion, hurriedly put away the chicken legs and wine, and followed them into the Poseidon Pavilion with heavy steps.

It was a little dark inside the Poseidon Pavilion. As soon as Xuanzi arrived at the door of the Poseidon Pavilion's meeting room, he heard the elders criticizing him.

He paused in front of the door, and after hearing Elder Mu gently pat the table and ask the elders to discuss those things later, he took a deep breath and entered the conference room.

Xuan Zi walked up to the elders with a heavy heart and said in great sorrow:

"Mr. Mu, everyone here, you all know what happened this time. This isn't the first time I've led a team that has run into problems. Back then, the Zhang Lexuan incident, and now the elimination of the evil spirit masters, both ended in bloody and tragic consequences."

Two lines of tears streamed down Xuan Zi's wrinkled face. He continued in grief, "Based on the above mistakes, I have decided to resign from the position of deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group and withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion..."

Chapter 56 The Messenger of Death performs great deeds!

Two lines of tears streamed down Xuan Zi's wrinkled face. He continued in grief, "Based on the above mistakes, I have decided to resign from the position of deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group and withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion..."

As soon as Xuan Zi said this, the faces of the many elders who had just criticized Xuan Zi changed slightly, and they all tried to persuade Xuan Zi to stay.

Now, Mu Lao has reached the end of his life, and the time he can protect Shrek is getting shorter and shorter. Once Mu Lao passes away, Shrek, which has no leader, will inevitably be impacted by forces from all sides, especially the threat from the thriving Sun-Moon Empire.

As the academy that led to the defeat of the Sun-Moon Empire in the Holy War, the Sun-Moon Empire's hatred and resentment towards Shrek has never diminished. If there were no strong people to take charge, Shrek would have fallen into the storm.

As the second strongest person in the academy and the owner of the level 98 Super Douluo Taotie martial spirit, Xuanzi's importance is self-evident.

Amid the heartfelt pleas of the elders, Xuan Zi, who had made up his mind to leave, waved his hand and was about to leave the conference room.

The silent Mu Lao sighed heavily and said solemnly: "Stop, did I let you go?"

Xuan Zi, who was about to leave, shuddered all over, stopped, and turned stiffly to look at the expressionless Dragon God Douluo Moon sitting at the head of the table.

"Mr. Mu, I... I don't have the face to stay here any longer. If you want to punish me, then go ahead." Xuan Zi lowered his head and said sadly.

He failed to do his job properly, which resulted in Mu Lao's great-great-grandson Beibei being taken away by the evil soul master. Given the evil soul master's methods, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. If Mu Lao wants to punish him severely, he will have no complaints.

"A coward, you made a big mistake and you want to evade responsibility and walk away?"

"Is this what Shrek taught you?"

"Is that what I taught you?!"

Mu Lao's cold and harsh words resonated in the Sea God Pavilion, and Xuan Zi, whose body was trembling, was already sweating profusely.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn for a moment. Elder Mu stared at Xuan Zi and said calmly, "During this mission to eliminate evil spirit masters, four of the regular team members died and two were seriously injured. The regular team members suffered heavy losses, and also lost two of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils. What can I say?"

Xuan Zi covered his face and cried, his body trembling, his heart full of regret and remorse.

Mu Lao sighed again and said, "Okay, sit down."

Amid the gratified gazes of the elders, Xuan Zi sat down sadly, looking intently at Mu Lao, waiting for him to speak.

"The issue of Xuan Zi's punishment can be discussed later, but it must serve as a warning so that those who come after him can learn from it. The most important thing right now is the injuries of the other team members and the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition." Old Mu said solemnly.

Xuan Zi, who knew the details, stood up and said, "Master Mu, among the remaining regular players, Ma Xiaotao's evil spirit is difficult to suppress and her injuries are relatively serious. She will definitely not be able to participate in the first few games of the opening ceremony. Although Dai Yuheng's injuries are not serious, they are also quite serious. With full treatment, he should be able to play in the middle and late stages of the competition. Ling Luochen only has minor injuries and can participate in the whole competition."

The elders nodded and discussed:

"Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng must be treated with all our strength. If these two Soul Emperors can play, they might lead the remaining contestants to victory!"

"From what I understand, Ma Xiaotao is unable to unleash her full strength due to the evil fire within her. If she were to force herself to unleash her full strength, the evil fire she has suppressed for so long would surely erupt. That would be a disaster for her. At best, she would be burned by the evil fire, causing her immense pain. At worst, she would become an evil spirit master, with disastrous consequences!"

"Ma Xiaotao couldn't play in the first few games, and after she did, she couldn't play at her full strength. Dai Yuheng won't be able to play until the middle to late stages. How can we win the first few games with just Ling Luochen, who is at the Soul King level? Even if the academy urgently sends inner court students over, it will probably be difficult for them to arrive in time for the first few games. In the first few games, only Ling Luochen can participate in the regular team. Two of the reserve players are not available, so we can't even gather all the participants!"

The elders were in mixed emotions, as they thought Shrek was full of talented people, but now they couldn't even put together a team to participate in the competition.

Just as everyone was sighing, someone offered a suggestion, "Don't we have several talented students who went to Xingluo City with Fan Yu in advance? Why don't we have them select a few to join us and form a team? Then, we can make some arrangements and have them face weaker teams in the first few matches..."

"This plan is brilliant. Not only can it hone those talented soul masters and prepare them for the next Continental Advanced Competition, it can also delay the time for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng to compete!" an elder echoed.

"It's a good idea, but it's unfair. If Shrek were to be exposed for doing this, it would be fatal to the academy's reputation!"

"Are we just going to sit back and watch Shrek's thousand-year-old glory being trampled upon and become a stepping stone for others to become famous on the continent?!"

The entire conference room was engulfed in debate. Some wanted to manipulate the situation behind the scenes to delay time and wait for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng to appear, while others, concerned about the reputation of the academy, suggested following the normal process.

Elder Mu sighed, knocked on the table, and said, "The academy always selects inner court students to strive to arrive in Xingluo City before the competition begins. If they can't arrive, they will let the accompanying students compete and form a team. This will be used as training to prepare them for the next All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition."

"Mr. Mu, we are very likely to lose this competition. That is the thousand-year glory of the academy! Moreover, if this thousand-year glory is lost in the hands of these kids, can they withstand such a blow?" An elder said unwillingly.

"Why don't we just do as Elder Mu said? This way, we can be fair and protect Shrek's reputation, and we can also train the students. If we make the reasons for the team's incompleteness public, it will not only explain our defeat in this competition, but also earn us the highest respect from the Douluo Three Kingdoms!" An elder of considerable seniority suggested.

Xuan Zi, who thought he had no face to participate in the argument, twitched his lips. But what would people think if they knew that it was him who led two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings to wipe out the evil soul masters' den that didn't even have Soul Emperors?

After much discussion, the meeting decided to implement Mu Lao's proposal. Two elders proposed to make the event of eliminating evil soul masters public after the game to explain the reason for Shrek's defeat in the competition. After all, with Shrek's prestige in Douluo Three Kingdoms, shouldn't they have the final say on how strong the evil soul masters eliminated are?

It is truly astonishing wisdom.

……

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Somewhere inside a branch of the Holy Spirit Church.

The Death Messenger who escaped from the Mingdou Mountains gave a vivid description of his previous experience to the branch head.

After resting for a while, he woke up Beibei who was still unconscious after being brought back. Using some evil soul master's methods, he learned from Beibei that the team that went to wipe them out was the Shrek team participating in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, and the one who chased him afterwards was the long-famous Shrek super strongman - Taotie Douluo!

Originally, the branch convened an emergency meeting to convict the Death Messenger, but now it has become a meeting for him to take credit!

At the meeting, the masked man wearing a black mask knocked on the table. "So, Death Messenger, you have made a great contribution?!"

The Death Messenger across the table laughed grimly and said, "Boss, although the stronghold in the Mingdou Mountains was cleared, I also killed quite a few Shrek students. A conservative estimate is three or four inner court students. I also escaped from the legendary Taotie Douluo. This record is probably unique in the sect, right?"

Chapter 57 I am willing to dedicate this child to the Holy Church Headquarters!

The evil soul masters at the conference table, all of whom were masked and looked like mysterious figures, looked at the messenger of death with admiration, and under their masks there was worship.

He fought against super Douluo masters with the body of a Soul King, killed three or four soul masters of the same level, and escaped from the hands of the long-famous Taotie Douluo!

He is worthy of being the messenger of death and deserves their respect and worship!

"I've seen the Shrek Outer Court genius you brought back. He's incredibly talented, and his martial spirit is a pure, top-tier beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

The evil spirit master sitting in the main seat continued excitedly, "His spirit and the Dark Holy Dragon of the legendary supreme chief priest of the Holy Church, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor Douluo, both belong to the dragon spirit category!

"Who knows, the one you brought back might be a genius soul master capable of ascending to the position of Holy Son of the Holy Church!"

The head of the Holy Spirit Church branch in the main seat took a deep breath, looked at the Death Messenger with a burning gaze, and said, "Tell me in detail how you achieved such an achievement, so that I can report it and seek credit and reward for you."

The evil soul masters at the conference table looked at the Death Messenger with anticipation, wanting to know how he had achieved such great achievements.

The Death Messenger coughed dryly a few times, cleared his throat, and said, "A few months ago, I followed your orders and went to the Mingdou Mountains to establish our sect's base. This was to survey and monitor the Xingluo Empire's troops stationed near the Mingdou Mountains. However, I never expected that our plan would be exposed, and the Xingluo Empire's military would obtain information about our base."

"According to the information provided by the Shrek Outer Academy Spirit Master Prodigy I brought back, information about our stronghold was also delivered to Shrek Academy. Therefore, the Shrek team heading to Xingluo City to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Competition has taken on the task of clearing out our stronghold as part of their pre-competition training!"

After laying the groundwork, the Death Messenger began to describe the operation in a vivid and detailed manner, "Including the world-renowned Taotie Douluo accompanying us and the teacher leading the Shrek Academy, there are a total of sixteen people. Among the fourteen participants, there are two Soul Emperors and five Soul King-level powerhouses!"

"As you know, the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors cultivated by Shrek Academy are far more powerful than those cultivated by other academies. When they were slaughtering our members, I rushed out of the cave and twice used my most proud soul skill - Corpse Explosion! I directly killed three or four Soul Kings! The two Soul Emperors were seriously injured! The rest of the reserve team suffered injuries of varying severity!"

"Under the powerful corpse explosion I carefully prepared, the scene was so terrifying... Even Taotie Douluo was so frightened that he fell to his knees, covering his face and sobbing. Then he pulled up the Shrek student blocking the cave entrance and controlled the soul guide I bought on the black market, streaking through the sky. Who would have thought that the speed of the pursuing Taotie Douluo was almost the same as mine? Maybe the Taotie Douluo had grown stupid after eating chicken legs. I was almost at the last mountain line of the Mingdou Mountains when his speed suddenly increased. When he was about to catch up with me, I scared him and he stopped in mid-air..."

After saying this, the Death Messenger commented with lingering emotion, "If that old man wasn't the long-renowned Taotie Douluo from Shrek Academy, I would have suspected him of being an undercover agent of the Holy Spirit Cult in Shrek!"

"Hehehe, it feels so good, so good!"

The Messenger of Death laughed heartily, and his hearty laughter echoed in the conference room for a long time.

"Clap clap clap..."

The conference room suddenly erupted in applause, and all the evil soul masters were impressed by the wisdom and power of the Death Messenger.

"When I invited you to join the Holy Church, I saw you as a rare talent with unlimited potential. I never thought you would be able to play with Taotie Douluo so well just after you left the mountain to carry out your mission. It's really satisfying, so satisfying!"

The volunteer teacher, whose true identity was hidden under a black cloak, laughed crazily.

He stood up, looked at the Death Messenger again and asked expectantly:

"Your commendation will be delivered. Also, that Shrek Outer Academy student is your prey. According to the relevant rules of this sect, you have the right to deal with him. Tell me, how do you want to deal with him?"

"When I first captured him, I only used him as a threat to escape. When I used him to threaten Taotie Douluo, I found that he was very afraid of it. I thought that this person must be extraordinary, so I brought him back. Now that I know that the old man is Taotie Douluo, his identity will probably be even more noble!"

The Death Messenger smiled grimly and continued gloomily, "This boy is so talented and his identity is mysterious and noble. We will send him to the Holy Church headquarters and train him to become a great hero. He will bring glory to our church and confront that Taotie Douluo in the future..."

"Hehehe, the scene back then must have been incredibly beautiful!"

The volunteer teachers applauded again, impressed by the Death Messenger's deep sense of justice.

"Okay, okay, this branch of the Holy Religion is looking for a talented soul master to recommend to the higher authorities. I will do my best to send this boy to the Holy Religion headquarters. If he can achieve something, the future of this branch will be boundless. It is not impossible for him to be promoted to a branch of the Holy Religion. Hahahaha."

The evil spirit masters stood up and said, "Boss, you are wise!"

"You must use your job title when doing work!" The Holy Envoy coughed twice and said seriously.

"The teaching mission is wise!"

"The future Holy Envoy is wise!!"

.........

Compared to the tragedy of the Shrek contestants being beaten badly by the messenger of death, the contestants from the Royal Soul Instructor Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire traveled all the way to Xingluo City accompanied by their teachers and are making intensive preparations for the upcoming competition.

early morning.

After another all-night practice, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his deep blue eyes and looked out the window at the bustling streets of Xingluo City, with a halo flickering in his eyes.

"After using my mental power to capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to assist in my cultivation, my soul power, which was previously at level 42, has now reached level 43!"

"I've made significant progress in my genetic energy training. My warrior realm has reached the advanced warrior level, but my spiritual master realm is still at the elementary general level. I've already perfected the first five levels of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, and can now begin to comprehend the sixth level. I'm also making good progress in my spiritual master foundation training, and I've already reached the twelfth diagram of the accompanying secret method, the Divine Atlas!"
