Chapter 225 Sedimentation and Breakthrough: Yin Wind Ghost Scythe Claw.
"Our Xi Shui Alliance's second-in-command researcher, Lu Chong, that bastard, somehow got involved with Shrek Academy. While I and the third and fourth brothers were out acquiring level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, he secretly colluded with the deacons to steal our entire Xi Shui Alliance treasury," Nangong Wan said, heartbroken.
"What?! Lu Chong has such audacity!" Elder Blood Spider Douluo Li Jiang coldly exclaimed.
The Fifth Elder of the Offering Hall couldn't sit still any longer. He was about to stand up and retort when Zhongli Wu waved him off.
"Such a heinous act occurred, and as the Alliance Leader, I was naturally furious. I immediately dispatched most of my disciples to hunt him down, but who knew that bastard would use the Shrek Academy's titled disciples to ambush and kill the fourth brother! I've treated him well, yet he would do such a treacherous thing," Nangong Wan said, even biting his lip until it bled.
Aside from Shrek Academy, there's no other force on the entire continent that consistently opposes evil soul masters like them. If something goes wrong, who else can they blame but
Shrek Academy? Nangong Wan wouldn't admit it was his management responsibility. "Shrek Academy?" Zhongli Wu's eyes flashed with hatred, then his gaze turned sharply to the fifth person on the offering seat. "Demon Blade! What explanation do you have! I remember you recommended Lu Chong to the Xishui Alliance."
The fifth person on the offering seat was a level 94 Title Douluo, his martial soul being the Bloodthirsty Blade, his title the Demon Blade Douluo.
"Slander! Pure slander! Master, those self-proclaimed righteous hypocrites at Shrek Academy are very shrewd. How could they possibly be used by that Lu Chong guy as a tool to kill someone else? Please, Master, clear my name!" the Demon Blade Douluo said angrily.
"I'm framing you? Master, why don't you send the Five Elders to Shrek Academy to investigate? If Shrek Academy's rare metals and soul guidance technology haven't skyrocketed, then I'm willing to accept punishment." Nangong Wan suddenly knelt on the ground again with a bang.
From the information he gathered, Shrek Academy is now heavily investing in its Soul Guidance System. He refused to believe that after more than two years of development, Shrek's Soul Guidance System would remain stagnant.
No matter who takes the blame, as long as it's not Nangong Wan, it's fine.
"Demon Blade! What do you think?" Zhongli Wu asked sharply.
"Well! Master, I'm currently at a crucial stage of breaking through to level 95, and I'm afraid I'm not up to the task!" Demon Blade Douluo hesitated instantly upon hearing this. Shrek Academy wasn't so easy to go to; he might not return.
"That's alright. The Fifth Elder can give you a precise timeframe, and I believe the Master will grant him time to break through to Super Douluo," Nangong Wan said sarcastically.
"Nangong Wan! You—" Demon Blade Douluo glared fiercely at Nangong Wan.
"Alright, Demon Blade, this matter ultimately comes down to you. You will go to Shrek's inner courtyard and secretly gather intelligence. How long will it take you to break through to Super Douluo?" Zhongli Wu declared definitively.
"Master...at least another six months!" Demon Blade Douluo gritted his teeth and finally said helplessly.
"Very well! I expect to hear a satisfactory answer from you in six months." Zhongli Wu stood up after speaking, his gaze cold and stern. "Everyone, those flies from Shrek Academy are indeed very annoying. I believe your hatred for Shrek is no less than mine as their leader. I promise you all, the day of our revenge is not far off."
"Your leader is wise!" Nangong Wan quickly bowed in agreement.
"Your leader is wise!" the Evil Douluo bowed in agreement.
"Nangong Wan, go back and manage the Xishui Alliance properly. Stop all search missions. Do you understand? The Holy Church cannot afford any more losses now," Zhongli Wu said coldly.
"Yes, Master!" Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief; his position was safe.
Zhongli Wu gave Nangong Wan a deep look and left. As the Master, he was cunning and shrewd, and naturally saw that at least two parts of Nangong Wan's words were false, but so what? As long as he was loyal to him, the Master, that was enough. As for the Five Offerings Demon Blade, he certainly couldn't send him alone. He only wanted to give the Offering Hall a warning, not send them to their deaths.
At this moment, Wu Xuan, who was recuperating outside Mingdu City, had no idea that the shocking case he had committed, through Nangong Wan's wild accusations, had ultimately been attributed to Shrek Academy by sheer luck.
In the following days, Ye Guyi became the head chef, taking care of all three meals for Wu Xuan every day. It was at this time that Wu Xuan finally felt that the 60,000-year-old head soul bone he had received was worthwhile.
It was also after his injuries healed that Wu Xuan had ample time to comprehend and consolidate his accumulated knowledge over the past few days.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed!
Morning.
The fresh air, moistened by the morning dew, made breathing even more refreshing. Soul Power Breakthrough, Level 66!
Wu Xuan slowly exhaled a long breath, a pale blue gas swirling around his body. The spiritual essence left within him by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had diminished once more, becoming the foundation for Wu Xuan's explosive power. Taking a deep breath, Wu Xuan felt completely refreshed.
His chest wound was now completely healed; to Ye Guyi's astonishment, the deep wound on Wu Xuan's chest hadn't left a single scar.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and Wu Xuan raised his right hand, making a grasping motion towards the distance. In an instant, a chilling and murderous aura erupted, and a massive, jet-black claw appeared out of nowhere. The claw's shadow, ten meters long, slashed through the air, leaving behind black fissures as the air was torn apart with a piercing tearing sound.
Yin Wind Ghost Scythe Claw!
A flash of dark light disappeared in an instant. Wu Xuan glanced with satisfaction at the new self-created soul skill he had developed over the past three months.
After his spiritual power reached the half-step tangible and tangible realm, Wu Xuan's understanding of his own wind element martial soul became increasingly thorough. Utilizing the characteristics of his fourth soul skill, this self-created soul skill was a perfect embodiment of that understanding.
"Hey! Wu Xuan, your injury has been healed for almost two months now! When are we leaving?" Ye Guyi pushed open Wu Xuan's door, somewhat bored.
Wu Xuan chuckled softly, saying, "Let's pack up and get ready to leave today! After being silent for so long, those rats in the gutter of the Holy Spirit Sect must be missing us."
Two and a half months ago, the information Ye Guyi gathered accurately indicated that the previously frenzied members of the Xi Shui Alliance and the Holy Spirit Sect's branch had suddenly fallen silent, as if they had vanished into thin air.
After all, Wu Xuan and his companion had killed a Title Douluo! Losing a Title Douluo would be a painful blow to any faction.
"Really! Let's go quickly! I feel like I'm rusting from cultivating every day. I still think it's more important to rid the people of evil." Ye Guyi excitedly pulled Wu Xuan towards the door upon hearing this.
"Wait a minute!" Wu Xuan called out to Ye Guyi.
"What's wrong?" Ye Guyi asked, puzzled.
