Not long after, Huo Yuhao brought He Caitou into the meeting room. He Caitou had never seen such a scene before.
Su Yunlin looked at He Caitou. "Caitou, tell us what you know about Xu Tianran."
He Caitou was also stunned. His first reaction was that his identity had been exposed.
"What are you hesitating for? You were forced to wander to the border and were saved by Teacher Fan Yu, who brought you back from the brink of death. Teacher Fan Yu raised you like a son. Shrek Academy is your home. Could it be that you think the academy has treated you poorly?"
He Caitou immediately shook his head. "No! The academy has treated me very well. To me, Teacher Fan Yu is just like a father."
"Then speak. Tell us your story."
He Caitou took a deep breath and told everyone that he had once been a prince of the Sun Moon imperial family. His family had been murdered by the current imperial clan, and He Caitou was the sole surviving orphan.
The others from Shrek had not expected that this simple, honest big fellow He Caitou would actually have such a tragic past.
Su Yunlin continued asking, "Tell us your views on Xu Tianran."
He Caitou nodded. "Xu Tianran possesses extremely strong cultivation talent. He was born with innate full Spirit Power and has an extremely powerful Beast Martial Soul: the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon! This is a powerful Martial Soul that occasionally appears in the Sun Moon Empire's imperial family.
"I've seen Captain's Golden Dragon Martial Soul. It can suppress classmate Wu Feng's Red Dragon Martial Soul, but it might not have much effect on the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon."
Su Yunlin interjected, "I know this. The ancestor of the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon was once the progenitor of sub-dragons born alongside the Dragon God. Because it was too powerful, it was feared by the Dragon God and was eventually completely exterminated.
"The Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon Martial Soul possesses the trait of destruction. It is somewhat similar to the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul of the Earthdragon Sect. In terms of bloodline, even Di Ruiqiu's Golden Dragon might not be able to suppress it.
"Xu Tianran possesses such a Martial Soul, and was even born with innate full Spirit Power. Ma Xiaotao, do you still think an opponent like this is simple?"
Ma Xiaotao was a little embarrassed. "Uh, whatever you say. I'll just be responsible for doing the work, alright?"
Su Yunlin looked at Zhang Lexuan. "This mission to assassinate Xu Tianran will be very difficult. It would be best to have an expert at Elder Xuan's level take action. Xu Tianran's cultivation is at least Spirit Douluo, and he may even have reached Titled Douluo.
"Adding the fact that this is the Sun Moon Empire, as the heir to the throne, how could he not have soul tools on him for protection? So, Sister Lexuan, your assassination mission is over before it even starts."
"Assassinate Xu Tianran!"
He Caitou's entire being became fanatical.
"Cough, cough. It's not time yet. He'll die sooner or later, but right now, we don't have that strength." Su Yunlin waved his hand.
He Caitou bowed to Su Yunlin. "Thank you, classmate Su. If you can kill Xu Tianran, please make sure not to let him die too painlessly! Quickly!"
"I know."
...
The meeting ended.
Everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Tang Wutong held Su Yunlin's hand. "Yunlin, you care a lot about that Xu Tianran?"
Su Yunlin smiled faintly. "Of course I care. Since he is so forceful, he has only one goal, and that is to unify the Douluo Continent. And I also want to unify the Douluo Continent! He and I share the same idea!"
Tang Wutong tilted her head. "You want to become emperor! Then I must be empress. You can't have any concubines. I can give birth to more children, I guarantee…"
Su Yunlin tapped Tang Wutong's nose. "Silly girl, who said unifying the Douluo Continent means I have to become emperor? What I want is a nation without emperors or nobles!"
"Ah? Wouldn't that mean going against the three great empires, no, wait, the four great empires? Becoming their enemy?" Tang Wutong was somewhat surprised.
Su Yunlin nodded. "That's exactly the effect I want. Nobles and imperial families have been passed down for over 10,000 years. It's about time that line was cut off. I want to lead the Douluo Continent into a new era!"
Tang Wutong hugged Su Yunlin. "Whatever you want to do, I'll support you! Do your best!"
"Mm. Having you support me feels really good."
...
Meanwhile, 500 kilometers outside Radiant City, inside a cave, many people had gathered.
"Elder Mu, there's information from Lexuan!"
The people here were none other than the experts of Shrek Academy and the experts of the three Douluo empires.
Elder Mu looked at the information in his hand and frowned. "It seems our plan this time will be somewhat difficult to carry out. Sun Moon Empire's Crown Prince, Xu Tianran, is suspected to have Titled Douluo cultivation. His Martial Soul is the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon."
"What!"
The Shrek experts were greatly shocked. They had not expected the assassination target to possess such strength.
Du Busi, who was at the side, cursed, "Damn it, we're already here. Are we supposed to just go back like this?"
This time, Shrek Academy and the Body Sect had joined forces to secretly carry out a lightning strike against the Sun Moon Empire, planning to destroy Xu Tianran, the main warmonger of the Sun Moon Empire, in one blow. This would delay the outbreak of war.
Elder Xuan looked at Du Busi. "Old Freak Du, what are you so anxious for? Do you think we can just go over and easily kill Xu Tianran? Let's not even talk about whether we can break through level 9 defensive soul tools.
"Just the experts beside Xu Tianran are already a problem. It's already known that Long Xiaoyao has pledged himself to the Sun Moon Empire, and then there's the Holy Spirit Cult. They are suspected to have two Limit Douluo. Elder Mu can at most hold back one.
"You, Tianxuan, and I are all level 98. The three of us together can at most hold the advantage against one Limit Douluo. The four of us won't be able to free our hands to deal with Xu Tianran. If anyone else goes up, it'll be useless. Unless Yunlin and Wutong act together, then there would be a chance of winning."
Du Busi snorted angrily, then sat down on the ground. Just thinking about how troublesome this was gave him a headache.
"We can only see whether those two little fellows can do it."
That was right. The true main attackers this time were actually Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong. Both of their cultivations had reached the Spirit Douluo level. Su Yunlin was currently level 86, while Tang Wutong was currently level 83.
Once the two wore three-word battle armor, they would possess combat strength far beyond ordinary Titled Douluo and could be regarded as Super Douluo.
Then, if the two used their Martial Soul Fusion Ability, their strength would be comparable to Elder Xuan. If Elder Xuan did not wear battle armor, he would be suppressed by Eternal Night Dawn.
Elder Mu slowly said, "Busi, don't be impatient. Even if this operation fails, it's nothing. As long as the children grow up smoothly, we'll still have hope in the future."
Du Busi sighed. "It depends on whether Aotian can break through to Titled Douluo. If he can achieve a golden-level awakening after breaking through to Titled Douluo, then he'll have the potential to become a Limit Douluo. If… no, there is no if. My disciple, I know him!"
Elder Mu stroked his beard and smiled. "This disciple of yours is truly impressive. Back when this old man participated in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, I had yet to reach Spirit Sage. Yet this disciple of yours is already a Spirit Sage."
Du Busi waved his hand. "He can't compare to you, old man. Your two young disciples, Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong, are already Spirit Douluos. They've only just become adults, and they're even younger than Aotian. In the end, you're still more impressive."
Elder Mu's smile deepened. Taking in these two disciples was the most correct thing Elder Mu had done in his later years.
Su Jinming suddenly received something. "Elder Mu, I've received a message from Lin'er. In our later actions, we should do our best not to affect the innocent. Especially Senior Du Busi, remember to restrain yourself a little."
"What does that mean?"
Elder Mu looked at the message and nodded. "Yunlin is thinking carefully. Our enemies are not only the Sun Moon Empire, but also the Holy Spirit Cult. If a large number of casualties occur in Radiant City, the one who benefits in the end will be the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Busi, have you forgotten the Holy Spirit Cult's secret methods? They can continuously grow stronger by collecting souls, flesh, blood, and resentment. If we bring devastation upon the people, we'll only end up making a wedding dress for the Evil Spirit Masters.
"I imagine the Evil Spirit Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult would love nothing more than for us and the Sun Moon Empire to fight each other to the death!"
