Chapter 310: Xuanzi Strikes
Inside the hotel room where the Snow Demon Sect resided, Long Aotian stood by the window, holding his fiancée Wei Na in his arms. He gazed at the brilliantly lit buildings in the distance and sighed, **"Wei Na, Mingdu is truly the most advanced city in the world. Even Heaven Dou City can't compare.
"After all, Mingdu is a city without walls, which indirectly proves how well constructed its soul tool defense system is so much so that it completely replaces the function of city walls.
"Though the Body Sect doesn't rely on external objects to enhance itself, I have to admit, if our sect had a proper soul tool defense system, its safety would be significantly improved.
"However, the sect doesn't really need such things right now. In this world, only one's own strength is truly reliable."**
Wei Na, being shorter than Long Aotian, leaned against his chest like a gentle and obedient bird.
Hearing his words, she smiled. **"The Dou Ling Empire could always provide our sect with some soul tools to build a defense system.
"Although they wouldn't be as advanced as those of the Sun Moon Empire, they'd still be useful.
"Besides, our sect is located in a natural stronghold an absolute nightmare for any would be attacker.
"But, Aotian, you know how our elders and even our sect master feel about soul tools. They've always rejected external aids.
"Now that soul spirits have appeared, they're even more convinced that personal strength is the foundation. No matter how times change, soul masters will always be the dominant force.
"But I disagree. If only you could convince the sect master and elders, I could represent the royal family to build a soul tool defense system for our sect and even train talented soul engineers for it."**
Long Aotian shook his head and sighed. **"Wei Na, you make some good points, but you're not entirely right.
"Soul tools are indeed useful for human soul masters in our current era.
"But soul tools will also fade away one day. Only soul masters will continue to be passed down from generation to generation.
"If you study the history of Douluo Continent, you'll know that Tang Sect's hidden weapons once reigned supreme.
"But where are they now?
"From the intelligence I've gathered, Tang Sect has fallen so low that it has to rely on Shrek Academy students to fill its ranks.
"Right now, soul tools are flourishing but who can guarantee they won't become the next Tang Sect hidden weapons?
"Relying too much on them will only bring disaster.
"No matter how the times change, soul masters will always be essential.
"No matter how strong a soul tool is, it still needs a powerful soul master to wield it.
"That's why the soul spirit system is a truly revolutionary invention it directly enhances the strength of soul masters themselves."**
"You're right, Aotian."
A calm voice suddenly sounded.
Du Busi (Du Busi) walked over with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent. **"Soul masters are the foundation of this world, and so called soul engineers will only be a fleeting phenomenon.
"Aotian, you must train hard and pray earnestly. Do whatever it takes to acquire another soul spirit.
"This tournament I expect you to aim for the championship."**
Long Aotian nodded. "Yes, Teacher."
Xuanzi's Ambush
Wearing a black robe and a mask, Xuanzi aimed an eighth tier soul cannon at the Snow Demon Sect's room.
He was preparing to launch a surprise attack to make these people pay a heavy price.
Earlier, he had seen the sect's leading instructor leave the room. This was the perfect opportunity.
He had no idea how powerful that instructor was, so he waited for them to leave before striking.
No matter how talented the competitors inside were, they were no match for him.
Xuanzi didn't want to expose his true identity, so he chose to disguise himself as a soul engineer.
After all, as the strongest on the surface at Shrek Academy, everything he did represented the academy.
He had to be discreet.
In truth, he had legally obtained this eighth tier soul cannon.
The Sun Moon Empire had no strict restrictions on eighth tier soul tools, and this cannon was produced by Mingde Hall far superior to ordinary soul cannons.
Everyone knew that Mingde Hall's name was synonymous with quality. Even the original three nations of Douluo Continent acknowledged this.
Whenever Mingde Hall released high quality soul tools, they were immediately snatched up by Sun Moon citizens and even Douluo's three empires.
When Xuanzi arrived in the Sun Moon Empire and witnessed the chaotic bidding wars, he simply threw money at the problem buying what he wanted with sheer wealth.
Now, it was time for this eighth tier soul cannon to be put to use.
He inhaled deeply, locked onto the room's entrance, and poured soul power into the cannon.
A golden light began condensing at the barrel's mouth, forming a blazing golden orb.
His breathing grew slightly heavier.
Attacking the Snow Demon Sect was only the beginning.
Sure, this kind of act violated academy rules but those rules never truly applied to him.
After all, he had broken countless rules already, yet Elder Mu never severely punished him.
Instead, Elder Mu always turned a blind eye.
Which meant…
The rules didn't apply to him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He fired multiple rounds, filling the air with deafening roars.
Golden orbs of destruction streaked through the night, resembling dragons of light.
Almost instantly, the door disintegrated under the intense heat, turning to ash. A burnt smell filled the air.
BOOM!
The golden orbs exploded, engulfing the Snow Demon Sect's room in flames and blinding light.
Thick smoke billowed. The walls crumbled into rubble.
The fate of those inside was unknown.
Unexpected Resistance
Xuanzi smirked. **"They shouldn't have survived that.
"An eighth tier soul cannon is a nightmare for anyone below the Soul Sage level.
"Even if some of them survived using soul tools, I can simply launch another attack."**
Confident, he waved his hand to dispel the lingering smoke.
Then he saw a dark green silhouette standing amidst the wreckage.
The figure had shielded a group of young disciples, ensuring not a single one of them was harmed.
Xuanzi's expression froze.
"This body martial soul…"
A sense of unease crept into his heart.
Then, the green cloaked figure raised his head and looked directly at Xuanzi.
The moment Xuanzi saw his face, his expression drastically changed.
Beneath his mask, his eyes widened in disbelief. His mind reeled.
"Old Poison!? Why is he here!?"
