Chapter 92 Shrek's Wrath
All six people had spirit rings lit up, revealing that they were five spirit kings and one spirit emperor.
Three of them instantly took to the air, each unleashing their flight soul skills, and together with the other three pursuers on the ground, they quickly chased after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Just as the pursuers were chasing Huo Yuhao and his companion at full speed.
A burst of red light suddenly erupted and shot into the sky, rising straight up to a height of several hundred meters before exploding with a bang, turning into countless tiny golden-red light spots that spread out in the air.
The six-ring Soul Emperor's expression changed drastically upon seeing the red light, and he roared, "Wasn't it said to be just a core disciple? This is clearly a distress signal from Shrek Academy's inner court! Quick! Act fast!"
Upon hearing this, one of the five-ring flying beings lit up his fourth soul ring, which shone with purple light. His wings, which were covered with a bluish-purple glow, flapped suddenly, and his body accelerated abruptly, chasing after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong like a shooting star.
Huo Yuhao looked at the Soul King in front of him, whose soul rings were one hundred taels of yellow and two taels of purple, and his expression was somewhat indifferent.
Without even a ten-thousand-year soul ring, there's no way to test the power of one's full-force soul impact.
With a sigh, Huo Yuhao pulled out his right hand and opened it behind him. A flash of silver light appeared, and a gun barrel appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand, its dark opening aimed at the incoming Soul King.
"Bang—"
The fiery red bullet shot out of the gun barrel and flew straight toward the Soul King.
Although he hasn't started making gunpowder yet, Huo Yuhao has already begun experimenting with firearms.
This gun barrel, made with two core magic arrays of wind and fire attributes, was created by Huo Yuhao when he was experimenting with rifling and barrel mass. The core magic array at the rear can generate a huge airflow in an instant, launching the bullet inside the barrel.
Although it looks more like a large blowpipe blown by soul power, the principle of the firearm is not much different.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with golden light, and a soul impact struck first. The Soul King, who was accelerating, felt as if his head had hit a solid wall. He groaned, blood came from his mouth and nose, and he could no longer control his flying figure. His fourth soul skill was also interrupted.
At the same time, the bullet fired by Huo Yuhao also hit the Soul King. Although it was blocked by the Soul Power on the surface of his body, the bullet exploded instantly, and the fiery red mist exploded and stuck to the Soul King's body through the protective Soul Power.
The five pursuers behind heard the Soul King, who was at the forefront, let out a violent scream and fall to the ground, rolling around in protest.
"Something's wrong with this guy. Be careful to avoid the attacks from his soul tool!"
The fastest Soul Emperor-level expert rushed past the fallen Soul King, glanced coldly at his teammate's condition, and immediately decided to abandon him and continue the pursuit of the target.
Since he had the idea of developing gunpowder, Huo Yuhao has been studying the defensive capabilities of Soul Masters of all levels against iron bullets. He eventually discovered that starting with four-ring defensive Soul Masters and five-ring offensive Soul Masters, the power of firearms was greatly weakened. Even if a bullet penetrated the Soul Master's protective Soul Power, it might not be able to penetrate their flesh.
Anti-materiel weapons are not something Huo Yuhao can easily create, so he has been thinking about how to further amplify the impact of ordinary bullets on Soul Masters.
It wasn't until Huo Yuhao, out of curiosity, ordered a 500-year-old plant-type soul beast from the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild that it was delivered to his door.
The capsaicin produced by the fruit of the five-hundred-year-old plant-type soul beast, the Devil Pepper, which could not be concealed by ordinary soul power, instantly attracted Huo Yuhao's attention.
"Even Soul King-level assassins can't tolerate the irritation of ghost capsaicin? This could be promoted; it's much more effective than ordinary bullets that barely penetrate the skin of a Soul King."
The stinging sensation from the ghost capsaicin will take at least ten minutes to gradually subside, enough to keep this Soul King from suffering.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao didn't seem to be running for his life. Instead, he was using wild Soul King and Soul Emperor level powerhouses to experiment with what he had been researching during this period.
"So, can a Soul Emperor-level expert defend against this Devil Capsaicin?" Huo Yuhao looked at the Soul Emperor running at top speed below him and fired another capsaicin bullet, but it was dodged directly.
"Wang Dong, ascend in a straight line!" Seeing the pursuer less than twenty meters away, Huo Yuhao...
As for why Huo Yuhao could remain so calm and collected in the face of assassination attempts?
……
"By the way... Miss Ning Tian, do you have any protectors with you?"
As soon as Huo Yuhao spoke, three pairs of eyes immediately locked onto him.
Ning Tian was fine and didn't react much, but Wu Feng stepped forward, shielding Ning Tian behind him and staring at Huo Yuhao with a wary expression.
"Of course," Ning Tian said calmly. "Is there a problem?"
"I'm your trading partner, you can't just stand by and do nothing if I get into trouble today."
"What?" Wang Dong's expression changed.
"You mean... Dai Huabin?" Ning Tian frowned slightly, as if she had guessed something.
After all, the incident during the grade assessment caused quite a stir. Dai Huabin, a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, was forced to kneel and kowtow, which caused quite a commotion.
"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "We had such a big conflict during the grade assessment. Given his personality, he might retaliate, or he might even try to assassinate me."
"I rarely leave the academy grounds. In fact, this treasure hunt might be the only time I leave the academy grounds this semester, and it's also his only chance to make a move against me. If he really wants revenge, he won't miss this opportunity."
"So you want my protectors to lend you a hand when necessary?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.
……
Three hundred meters in the air, Huo Yuhao looked at the two Soul Kings ascending into the sky, showing no concern for his own safety. Instead, he focused his gaze on the Soul Emperor on the ground.
The quality of the assassins kept by the White Tiger Duke was poor; none of the five Soul Kings had a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, forcing him to focus his experiments on Soul Emperors.
The explosive bullets loaded with capsaicin were fired again, and at the same time, the soul blast that had been accumulating for a long time, almost exhausting all of Huo Yuhao's remaining soul power and mental strength, shot towards the Soul Emperor pursuer.
Seeing the Soul Emperor, who was hit by the soul impact and the specially made bullets and was covering his face in pain with his hands, Huo Yuhao finally had a better understanding of the combat power he could currently unleash.
Huo Yuhao's soul impact was enough to cause sufficient interference to a five-ring Soul King who had absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring and whose spiritual power was beginning to grow. It could even interrupt a soul skill after charging up.
Seeing the two Soul Kings' large hands coming at them, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong not only did not panic, but instead remained where they were, smiling at the two Soul Kings.
"Die!" the two Soul Kings roared simultaneously.
Just as the attack was about to strike the target, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared, and the target's figure vanished. Instead, a huge mirror stood before the two of them.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Mirror Seal!"
A silver light flashed again, and the figures of the two Soul Kings vanished instantly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two Soul Kings who were still in good condition immediately turned around and ran away.
"Hmm? You want to leave?"
As the sound faded, the mirror shone on the other pursuers, flashing silver light several times. The figures of the six pursuers vanished instantly, and everything returned to calm, leaving only the huge silver mirror standing in the air.
"Is this how Shrek Academy protects its students?"
A middle-aged man strolled out from behind the mirror, lazily stretched, and indifferently surveyed the approaching Shrek reinforcements.
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty!"
Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, who arrived first, looked at each other in bewilderment and could only bow and express their gratitude.
"Many thanks to Your Majesty Mirror Douluo for your help!"
On the towering walls of Shrek Academy, six or seven figures bowed slightly to the middle-aged man.
As the de facto person in charge of the treasure appreciation event, Elder Lin was not far from here, and he rushed here the moment he noticed the distress signal.
However, noticing that Huo Yuhao and his group still had some strength left to deal with the assassination attempt, they did not immediately take action. Instead, they watched from a distance, wanting to see just how far these students could go.
However, they didn't expect that Huo Yuhao had somehow gotten involved with Mirror Douluo of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which prevented them from taking action in time.
"Your Excellency Mirror Douluo, this attempt by thieves to assassinate a core disciple of Shrek Academy has had a huge impact. Could you please hand over the six thieves to Shrek Academy for interrogation so that we can find the mastermind behind it all?" Elder Lin, who was standing at the front, said.
"No need. Huo Yuhao is a collaborator of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will uphold justice for him. There's no need to trouble Shrek Academy."
The middle-aged man, known as Mirror Douluo, said calmly.
"This..." The people on the city wall looked at each other, feeling a little apprehensive.
With the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School suddenly getting involved, this matter is no longer just Shrek Academy's internal affair, and it will become much more troublesome to handle.
Unfortunately, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy were in a cooperative relationship, so Shrek Academy couldn't really refuse the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's reasonable demands.
Shrek Academy was unusually efficient this time. On the second day, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were expelled for angering their homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi, by stepping into the classroom with their left foot first.
Then, Wang Yan was sent to convey Shrek Academy's difficulties, such as the importance of Duke White Tiger in the war on the continent, and that the academy could not punish him openly, but could only make him pay the price through more subtle means.
Although Huo Yuhao had been looking forward to this outcome, he never expected Shrek Academy to deal with the mastermind so swiftly and decisively.
Even if there are witnesses, this is too fast, isn't it?
It wasn't until Huo Yuhao carefully read the book's detailed description of the attack on him that he began to understand the meaning behind it.
The following information is entirely from the original work:
1. In the original novel, Yan Shaozhe and his group arrived at the city wall before Ma Xiaotao, but chose to watch from the sidelines in order to test the students' abilities.
2. Yan Shaozhe's performance
Yan Shaozhe said with some helplessness, "Xiao Tao's personality is too fiery. Once she enters battle mode, she's a completely different person."
3. Dai Huabin's fate - Shrek was furious for a moment, but because he had no evidence, he didn't make a fuss and silently suppressed his anger. He then blacklisted Dai Huabin, barring him from entering the inner courtyard. That was it.
4. Why was Dai Huabin punished so leniently? Because there was no evidence. Where was the evidence? The witnesses were burned to ashes by the fiercely fighting Ma Xiaotao…
Based on the information above, Yan Shaozhe and his group witnessed Ma Xiaotao burning the pursuers to ashes and destroying all evidence.
They were confident they could stop Huo Yuhao in time if he was truly in danger, so they watched from the sidelines to see how the trainees performed.
But why he remained a bystander instead of intervening when Ma Xiaotao killed the witness to the murder remains a mystery.
In short, that's how things are. Anyway, Huo Yuhao didn't die, did he?
"Isn't Shrek Academy known for being protective of its own? It seems they're not as protective as I thought."
Huo Yuhao, with a strange expression, came to a conclusion he had never considered when reading novels in his previous life.
As for why Shrek Academy acted so swiftly this time? Well, there are still witnesses at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, aren't there?
If they don't give a fair resolution at this time, do they think the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't quick enough to undermine their own members?
