"That so-called Death God's Emissary should be within this cave. I can already smell a very strong stench of blood! The fact that this smell can spread so far shows just how many people that damned Evil Soul Master has killed!"
Wang Yan's face turned ashen as he looked at the dark, chilling cave in front of him.
Upon hearing his words, both Zhou Yi, who was accompanying them, and the Main Team Members and Reserve Team of Shrek Academy who were about to participate in the Soul Master Tournament, were filled with murderous intent.
Ma Xiaotao, whose temper was always fiery, was like a lit keg of dynamite, and she directly roared, "I'm going to kill that bastard right now!"
Wang Yan didn't stop Ma Xiaotao, but he still reminded her, "Be sure to be careful!"
"Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng, you take the Main Team Members in first. I and Teacher Zhou Yi will follow with the Reserve Team to support you."
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Just as the seven Main Team Members were about to enter the cave, Ning Tian, feeling increasingly uneasy, quickly asked, "Teacher Wang Yan, where's Elder Xuan? Isn't Elder Xuan coming in with us?"
Ning Tian's words involuntarily drew everyone's gaze to her. Saying something so disheartening when they were about to confront the Death God's Emissary, even the others were now quite displeased with Ning Tian.
Ma Xiaotao even sarcastically remarked, "If you're scared, you should just stay outside!"
A hint of disdain surfaced in Dai Yuheng's eyes. Has the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan fallen so low? To have such a coward as their young sect master? No wonder we haven't heard of any strong figures from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan in all these years. It seems the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan has long been in decline!
While Dai Yuheng was inwardly criticizing, he wasn't as thoughtless as his own brother, who would express all his thoughts openly. Instead, he smiled very kindly and said,
"Junior Sister Ning Tian, when the Surveillance Team is in action, a powerhouse like Elder Xuan will only watch from the side, not help us deal with the enemy. If even opponents with lower soul power levels than us need Elder Xuan's help, then we Inner Court students of Shrek Academy would be too useless."
"Only when we encounter enemies whose strength far surpasses ours will Elder Xuan immediately provide assistance, ensuring we won't suffer any irreversible harm."
"However, if you're really worried, you can choose to stay outside. Frankly, letting you junior and sophomore students participate in such a brutal scene for your first mission is indeed a bit too much."
Dai Yuheng spoke very eloquently; with Ning Tian's talent and status, he naturally didn't mind giving her some face.
That Death God's Emissary was merely a Soul King. With the strength of their Shrek Surveillance Team, it would be easy to solve.
However, Dai Yuheng's words instead stimulated the other Reserve Team members besides Ning Tian. Dai Huabin was the first to sneer.
"I'm not like some coward; I'm going in with you Main Team Members!"
Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, as well as Jiang Nannan and Zhu Lu, all followed suit and expressed their stance.
Just as Ning Tian was about to say something else, Zhou Yi, who was standing beside her, glanced at her with a look of disdain.
"If you don't dare to face it, I suggest you withdraw from the Reserve Team and give the spot to someone else! How can you become a strong person without experiencing danger and setbacks?"
Ever since she lost a bet to her nemesis, Mujin, during the freshmen assessment, Zhou Yi's life had been very difficult.
She had even hinted to her husband, Fan Yu, to ask Mujin for mercy in order to keep her position as a teacher at Shrek Academy. Only then did she avoid being fired and was able to continue teaching at Shrek.
In Zhou Yi's heart, the person she hated the most was, of course, Mujin, who had caused her to lose face. The second was Ning Tian's group, who had easily defeated her strongest student in the freshmen assessment!
Now that she saw Ning Tian had provoked public anger, Zhou Yi naturally chose to kick her while she was down without hesitation! It would be best if Ning Tian was removed from the Reserve Team and completely lost the qualification to participate in the Soul Master Tournament!
Shrek Academy lacked everything, but it didn't lack geniuses who were willing to fight for Shrek's glory and ideals!
Facing the contempt and accusations of the crowd, Ning Tian's hand froze on the storage soul tool, completely dispelling the idea of taking out the Invincible Shield and giving it to them for free.
Since they were treating her like this, what else was there to say? She would just wait and see how many of them would die!
Anyway, the only person who could be considered a friend, Zhu Lu, already had the Invincible Shield she had given her, and Ning Tian no longer cared whether the others lived or died.
After making her decision, Ning Tian felt a sense of ease wash over her. A polite smile returned to her face as she nodded slightly.
"Alright, then I'll wait for your triumphant return outside."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao, Zhou Yi, Dai Huabin, and the others wore expressions of undisguised disdain. Wang Yan didn't want to see any conflict between them, but the situation had escalated beyond his control as a Soul Emperor-ranked teacher. After all, even within the Main Team Members, there were students more powerful than him!
Helpless, Wang Yan could only wait until they dealt with the Death God's Emissary before having a proper conversation with Ning Tian to understand her true intentions.
If she truly refused to contribute, then she might not be able to keep her spot as a member of the Shrek Reserve Team.
"Ning Tian, you and Leng Qiuyu stay outside. We'll come out immediately after dealing with the Death God's Emissary."
Ning Tian glanced at Leng Qiuyu, whose pale complexion looked quite unhealthy, and nodded. She didn't say anything further, while Leng Qiuyu seemed not to have heard, simply standing there indifferently.
As a Soul Saint of the seventh rank, she was, in any case, considered a minor powerhouse.
But because she was a soul master with ice attribute, that Super Douluo Yan Shaozhe "sincerely requested" her to help his disciple Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire within her body.
As for whether it would damage her own origin? Who would care?
What? You're asking what kind of reward you'll get for making such a huge sacrifice?
They've already made an exception and allowed someone who doesn't belong to Shrek to live in Shrek's Inner Court, and you still want a reward? Shrek has made so many sacrifices to maintain peace on the continent, don't you know you should sacrifice something for Shrek?
Anyway, Shrek will definitely remember your contribution. At worst, when your descendants have a genius soul master in the future, they can be sent to Shrek, and the teachers here will wholeheartedly nurture your descendants.
Leng Qiuyu wished there were even more powerful Evil Soul Masters in this cave. It would be best if they could kill all those people from Shrek who appeared to be bright and shiny on the outside, but whose hearts were filled with darkness!
Ning Tian didn't know Leng Qiuyu's identity and experiences, but during this time, she had personally witnessed how Ma Xiaotao treated her benefactor with such a terrible attitude. So, if they really encountered some kind of accident during this operation, wouldn't it be considered they deserved it?
Watching one after another of the Main Team Members and Reserve Team Members stride into this cave, Ning Tian chose to watch with cold indifference.
Perhaps, Shrek Academy's downfall this time would be a good thing for the entire continent!
Not long after they entered, a muffled explosion sounded from within the cave, followed by a cacophony of shouts and curses, along with thuds and intense soul power fluctuations.
The hunt for the Death God's Emissary had begun!
