DD2—Chapter 39: Xuan Zi: It Will Be Safe! I Am the Nemesis of Evil Soul Masters!
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao said softly, "Wang Dong, class is about to start. Let's go; otherwise, Teacher Zhou Yi will be furious again!"
"Walk? What are you walking for? At least let me go to the toilet!" Wang Dong was a little confused. She waved her hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, you go first. I'll be back soon!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong's expression, nodded obediently, and did not embarrass him.
She said, "Okay. I'll be leaving first. But, Wang Dong, if you have anything to say to me, please tell me as soon as possible because I have something to say to you too!"
After saying that, Xiao Xiao quickly ran away with a red face, leaving Wang Dong in a mess. She felt that something was off with Xiao Xiao as if she wanted to confess to her.
"But I'm a girl; how can I accept a confession? It's all because of this men's outfit. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many troubles! It seems that I must find a suitable time to confront Xiao Xiao in the future," Wang Dong thought helplessly.

By Sea God Lake, an old man with disheveled hair, a greasy body, and torn clothes was lying on a chair. He was gnawing on a chicken leg while enjoying the lake breeze, a look of contentment on his face.
This person is Xuan Zi.
Because his martial soul is the Godly Taotie Bull, he has always had an excessive eating habit due to his martial soul.
Martial souls can influence soul masters, just like Ma Hongjun, one of the original Seven Shrek Devils. Due to the influence of his martial soul, his body was filled with evil fire and affected by it. Although Ma Hongjun later solved the problem of evil fire, his descendant, Ma Xiaotao—now a genius in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy—could not escape its influence.
At this time, the sound of footsteps echoed behind Xuan Zi.
The person who approached was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy. In a sense, this man had an extremely strong background. Not only was he a student of Mu En, but he was also the descendant of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. In other words, the three Ultimate Douluos on the human side of the Douluo II level all had a close relationship with Yan Shaozhe.
He looked at Xuan Zi and said, "Master Xuan, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to begin. The regular team members have been determined, but we have not yet decided on the number of reserve players. After a while, we will conduct a selection to choose the reserve players.
According to the rules of the academy, a few days before the competition, we need a strong person to lead the regular team members and reserve team members to carry out the monitoring task of eliminating the evil soul masters. This can be regarded as a warm-up before the competition.
Of course, the mission location has not been determined yet, but I hope you can lead the team there."
He made this decision after discussing it with Qian Duoduo and others. After all, Master Xuan was the second-strongest man in Shrek Academy. He was powerful, had carried out many monitoring missions, and had rich experience in dealing with evil soul masters, which was enough to ensure the safety of the students' lives.
Moreover, among the elders of the Sea God Pavilion in the academy, Elder Xuan was the most idle. He spent his days eating chicken legs and drinking, which not only made him reek of alcohol but also made him look unkempt, thereby damaging the glorious image of Shrek Academy.
Xuan Zi slowly stood up from the recliner. He threw away the chicken leg bone, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "It seems that you also know that I once had a reputation as the nemesis of evil soul masters; that's why you notified me in advance to lead the team."
Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, Master Xuan. You are the deputy leader of the Shrek Supervisory Group. You have killed many evil soul masters, and your hands are stained with their blood. You are indeed the nemesis of evil soul masters! Not only are you famous, but you are also powerful. We let you lead the team out of trust."
Xuan Zi had also grown up as a student of Shrek Academy, so he naturally completed the task of supervising the inner courtyard disciples. Since he became the deputy leader, he had managed to kill an evil soul master every time he undertook a mission alone.
"Yes, you have a good eye for selecting people." Xuan Zi was somewhat proud, a confident smile appearing on his face. "I am a level 98 Super Douluo, only one level away from becoming an Ultimate Douluo. There are only a handful of people stronger than me on the Douluo Continent.
You can rest assured; that with me here, the students will complete the monitoring mission safely! There will be no chance of any casualties. A mere evil soul master can be easily captured!"

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Dormitory.
Jing Hongchen relayed the conversation between Kong Deming and himself to Huo Yuhao. Of course, he deliberately omitted some irrelevant details from the conversation. After all, he couldn't tell the other party that he had been scolded in front of his students. He emphasized Huo Yuhao's generous treatment instead.
"In short, you will be a person valued by Mr. Kong from now on, and you will have a bright future! This is the Hall Master Card issued internally by Illustrious Virtue Hall. It contains 10 million gold soul coins. When you run out, come and ask me for more.
All expenses will be covered by Illustrious Virtue Hall since it has plenty of money! If you want to buy something, just ask Illustrious Virtue Hall for reimbursement!" Jing Hongchen handed over a card with golden patterns.
Huo Yuhao took the card and suddenly felt a bit bored. Making money has become so easy. As expected, geniuses receive investment no matter where they are. Moreover, according to Jing Hongchen, he could ask for help in hunting soul beasts in the future.
'I hope Jing Hongchen is different from Xuan Zi; otherwise, I will be doomed.'
After all, when Xuan Zi leads a team, everyone either dies or gets injured. That rule is really scary.
Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, since you are a reserve member of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy sent to the Soul Fighting Competition, I hope you can get familiar with your teammates before the competition."
"Soul Fighting Competition? Get familiar with the team?" Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered the plot in the original novel. He recalled that in this Soul Fighting Competition, Shrek Academy defeated the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and killed several students from it.
However, since he is now a student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, he would not allow the plot to unfold as it did in the original.
Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Yes, get familiar with them. After all, you are participating as team members, and you can't compete without being familiar with each other.
In the Soul Fighting Competition, our academy truly has only one opponent, and that is Shrek Academy. Although other academies have certain strengths, compared to Shrek Academy, their overall strength is indeed too weak."
"More than 4,000 years ago, the Empire was defeated by the Douluo Three Kingdoms coalition led by Shrek Academy. Since then, our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy has never managed to defeat Shrek Academy. The existence of Shrek Academy stands before us like an immovable mountain."
"For my part, I don't think you can beat Shrek Academy in this competition. After all, Shrek Academy is far too strong. However, in the next competition, you, Xiao, and Meng will grow and participate as regular team members. By then, you will lead the academy to victory!"
"I have confidence in your talents. All you lack now is time."
