Chapter 247: The Bandits.
After Wang Mingxu and Wang Lanfang left Shrek Academy, Shrek's internal affairs suffered a great blow, especially for Yu Xiaogang himself.
Through their conversation today, he realized that Wang Mingxu was incredibly powerful, having already reached level 70 at such a young age, likely the fastest Soul Saint in the Soul World, and now there were two more.
If he led the Shrek team to participate in the Soul Master Competition, they would undoubtedly be defeated if they encountered these two.
Furthermore, Wang Mingxu's knowledge far surpassed his own; questions he had pondered for countless years were easily answered by Wang Mingxu, giving him the feeling that countless efforts had yielded no results.
His carefully cultivated team and his meticulously trained son were so easily defeated—was his training really that inadequate?
Yu Xiaogang was once again plunged into deep self-doubt.
However, Wang Mingxu and Wang Lanfang had no interest in such matters; they were currently discussing what they had seen and heard at Shrek Academy.
Wang Lanfang asked curiously, "Mingxu, what do you think of Shrek Academy?"
Wang Mingxu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly. "Shrek's teaching is only so-so. Their training methods for team members are still conservative, mostly using old cultivation methods, such as the use of simulated environments and gravity-pressurized environments. They don't have these at all."
"Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's problem is even more serious. His theoretical knowledge is clearly outdated, and using it to train students will likely cause them to fall behind."
"However, one good thing is that the martial souls of those people in their team just now were really good. They were basically all top-grade martial souls. It's just a pity that they entrusted their talents to the wrong people."
"Sister, what do you think of Shrek Academy?"
Wang Lanfang thought for a moment and also spoke up. "I just feel that Shrek Academy is a bit lifeless overall. The school lacks flexibility, and the internal management is very chaotic. The students' basic moral education is very poor. I heard that their school motto is 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' I think if they continue like this, they will eventually produce a group of troublemakers."
"Sister, I plan to stay in Heaven Dou City for a few more days, and then go to Phoenix City, the capital of the Douluo Federation."
Wang Lanfang thought for a moment before speaking. "Alright! I'll go with you. I want to see the largest city on the entire continent."
Over the next few days, Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu visited the various advanced Soul Master academies in Heaven Dou City, and also traveled to many famous places, even the former Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace, which had been turned into a tourist attraction.
After five days, the two left Heaven Dou City, preparing to head to Phoenix City.
This time, they didn't rent a carriage, but planned to walk. For Soul Saints, walking was no problem at all; if they wanted, they could even fly to Phoenix City quickly.
When the two were about two hundred kilometers away from Heaven Dou City, Wang Mingxu suddenly spoke up: "Sister, did you feel it?"
Wang Lanfang replied with a disdainful look: "You felt it, how could I, as your older sister, not feel it?"
"Sister, you said they've been following us from Heaven Dou City for so long, what's their purpose? Is it for that soul bone you have?"
"Mingxu, how would I know? But it's most likely for the soul bone. I didn't expect there would be anyone so fearless as to come looking for us."
Just as the two were talking, there seemed to be a fluctuation of soul power around them, and then seven soul masters appeared. Judging from their appearance, they were divided into two groups: one group of four and the other of three. The four-person group included one Soul Saint, one Soul Emperor, and two Soul Kings. In particular, the Soul Saint seemed to be around level 76.
The three-person group included one Soul Saint and two Soul Emperors.
Judging from the situation, the two groups were evenly matched and seemed to know each other.
The seven people blocked Wang Mingxu and Wang Lanfang's advance and retreat respectively, forming a pincer movement among themselves, each seemingly wanting to gain an advantage.
The leader of the four-person group was a very tall Soul Master, over two meters tall, likely a Strength-type Battle Soul Master.
The leader of the three-person group was a relatively slender Soul Master, but his Soul Power was by no means weak, making him an Agility-type Soul Master.
The leader of the four-person group spoke first: "Little Black Hawk, we got this deal first, how about we let it go?"
The leader of the three-person group, Black Hawk Soul Saint, immediately retorted: "Big Black Bear, what's this about first come, first served? Isn't it all about skill?"
Black Bear Soul Saint seemed to have something to rely on: "Indeed, it's about skill. How about we have a fight first, then we can catch these two fat sheep. I seem to have forgotten, you lost to me last time."
Black Hawk Soul Saint was not to be outdone: "Things are different now, we have two Soul Emperors, our lineup is stronger than yours."
The two sides seemed to be arguing, and it seemed that the victor would then plunder the treasures on Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu.
Wang Lanfang, with her fiery temper, couldn't help but speak up: "What do you two mean? Are you trying to rob me? I remember that robbery is strictly prohibited by the laws of the Douluo Federation; violators will be executed or exiled to the Killing Capital."
The Black Bear Soul Saint seemed to smile: "Little beauty, the laws of the Douluo Federation are indeed very strict, but we are now a full two hundred kilometers away from Tianzou City. Even if we fight to the death here, the titled Douluos in the city won't notice. As long as we do it cleanly, it will be absolutely undetectable."
"You big black bear, are you really so sure you can take us down? Aren't you afraid of kicking a hornet's nest?"
The Black Bear Soul Saint seemed a little smug: "Little beauty, if I'm not mistaken, you two siblings are only about 20 years old, and you actually managed to pull out 3.5 million gold soul coins to buy a soul bone so easily. I guess you two have quite a background."
"Even if you have a powerful background, what strength could you possibly have at such a young age? Besides, you probably have a lot of gold soul coins on you. It seems the wheel of fortune turns; it's finally my turn to get rich."
Wang Lanfang ignored the black bear and turned to the Black Eagle Soul Saint beside her, saying, "Do you share this black bear's thoughts? Want to kill and rob us, brother and sister?"
The Black Eagle Soul Saint's face seemed somewhat sinister: "Little beauty, I advise you to surrender obediently. That way, I can give you a quick death; otherwise, you'll probably wish you were dead."
Hearing this, Wang Lanfang seemed to understand the intentions of both groups and said to Wang Mingxu beside her, "Mingxu, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Mingxu said calmly, "Just two gangs of bandits. They've probably been watching us since the beginning of Tian Dou City. Why don't we capture them, return to Tian Dou City, and hand them over to the government? Let's see how the Tian Dou City authorities handle it."
Wang Lanfang nodded: "That's a good idea. I also want to see the government's attitude. Will they enforce the law?"
"Sis, they have two groups now. How about we each take one group?"
"No, we can't divide them like that. You've already fought one battle in Heavenly Dou City. Leave both groups to me."
Wang Mingxu was speechless; his sister still loved fighting so much.
