The man with the large head was indeed a Douluo Strong Warrior from the Body Sect named Lang Ya, "Sect Master, I've investigated everything that needed to be understood, and have already clearly inquired about everything that needed to be investigated."
First of all, the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo that you want, is in the underground base of Mingde Hall. However, that place is easy to defend and hard to attack, extremely secret. Seeking it out or launching a raid requires some time, and we may need to pay a price."
However, as soon as Lang Ya finished speaking, without waiting for Poison Not Dead to respond, those disciples from the Body Sect had already started to speak out, filled with righteous indignation, they said passionately:
"I'm not afraid of death."
"Just tell us the location, and we'll go conquer it right now."
"That's right, take back the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo and revive the Body Sect!"
...
Seeing this, Poison Not Dead's face showed a satisfied smile, "Do you think this is still a problem?"
Lang Ya shook his head, "It's not a problem. My disciples from the Body Sect have never feared death."
"Then let's talk about the second matter. Once you're done speaking, we'll take action."
"Fine." Lang Ya nodded and said, "The person you are looking for is inside the Royal Soul Master Academy. Here is the terrain map."
As he spoke, he handed a rough sketch to Poison Not Dead.
After receiving it, Poison Not Dead glanced at it casually and then stuffed the map into Elder Jin's hands, "I'll go to the underground base to seize the 100,000-Year Soul Beast Embryo. You take a few people to this laboratory, and you must bring back the child who went missing from our Body Sect."
However, Elder Jin's face revealed a hesitation, "Sect Master, how about we switch tasks? The dangers of the underground base are unknown, I should go instead?"
On hearing this, Poison Not Dead suddenly laughed, "Elder Jin, I've noticed you're getting bolder. Have you forgotten that we in the Body Sect never let emotions influence our actions, and that strength determines who has the say? Are you challenging me?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Jin quickly shook his head.
Poison Not Dead said, "Then obediently follow my orders. I'll attack the underground base, and you go retrieve the child."
Elder Jin could only compromise, "Fine then."
...
Under the night sky.
The laboratory did not seem dark at all.
Illuminated by various soul tool lights, it was no different from daytime.
Wang Dong was sitting in a chair, his gaze fixed on the room where Qin Xiao was in retreat.
And he waited, full of anticipation.
Finally, the door opened, and he saw Qin Xiao's figure emerge.
On Qin Xiao's face, he also saw signs of exhaustion.
"Wang Dong, why are you still here?"
Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.
Because he was releasing Destruction God Power today, he had sealed the laboratory early to ensure not a trace of Divine Power leaked out, avoiding attracting other people's attention and causing unnecessary trouble.
This also meant that he had no idea about the event that occurred today when Xuan Ziwen bravely protected him, fighting against Fan Yu.
He was even more unaware that Wang Dong had betrayed Shrek Academy to come to warn him; otherwise, he would not have appeared so surprised.
Because he knew Xuan Ziwen would not allow a stranger to linger in the lab.
"I, I have nowhere to go. It was Teacher Xuan Ziwen who agreed to let me wait for you here..." Wang Dong's explanation was somewhat awkward.
But this made Qin Xiao even more puzzled. "Aren't all the students and teachers from Shrek Academy here? Who can't you stay with for a couple of nights?"
"What kind of remark is that?"
Wang Dong's eyebrows raised, "Do I look like the kind of person who's so casual…"
To stay with anyone for a couple of nights, that's really too hurtful.
"Besides, the students and teachers of Shrek have all become prisoners. Do you want me to go to the prison to find them?"
"What? Something like that happened?"
Although Qin Xiao didn't know what had happened, he was greatly shocked.
Finding that Qin Xiao truly knew nothing, Wang Dong had to patiently recount to him the events that had taken place in the laboratory while he was there.
Qin Xiao muttered, "So that's how it is, seems like I really do need to prepare some sort of gift for Xuan Ziwen."
"Qin Xiao, do you still remember our agreement?"
"Of course, here you go."
Qin Xiao certainly knew what Wang Dong was getting at—it was about those junk soul tools. If it weren't for the need to condense the crystals of Soul Power, he would have finished a long time ago.
"Ah! You're already done with it?"
Wang Dong was both surprised and delighted.
He noticed something—the pendant this time was indeed different from last time, most notably the black crystal set in the middle. Last time it was only the size of a rice grain, but this time it had grown to the size of a small pinky fingernail and even flickered with a trace of black light from time to time.
When he put the pendant, which looked like a finely crafted piece of art, around his neck, a cool and refreshing sensation immediately rose from the soles of his feet and rushed to his crown.
If it weren't for the presence of Qin Xiao, and the fear of being embarrassed, he would have cried out in comfort long ago.
Right away, he took to action, standing by the laboratory table and picking up the core magic array that was set upon it.
No reaction!
He jumped up excitedly.
Without a doubt, Qin Xiao had once again solved the problem of him not being able to use soul tools.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Wang Dong was overcome with excitement.
He even jumped up and down on the spot in his excitement.
But as he jumped, something felt off to him, "But that's not right, is it?"
"I remember you telling me that it would take at least several days to finish this soul tool, but you only took half a day from start to finish, how is that possible?"
Ah, this... just be happy about it, okay? Why dwell on so many things... Besides, if you asked me the truth, could I tell you, 'Honorable customer, hello, the soul tool you ordered is of a very low level, it's very simple to make?'
That would be purely insane, wouldn't it?
An idea struck Qin Xiao, "I didn't deceive you, you mustn't belittle me. The reason I finished making it so quickly is that all the materials needed to create your soul tool are here in this laboratory. I didn't need to go out and buy anything, so that saved a lot of time.
If you feel that I finished too quickly, then you can return the pendant to me. Wait for three to five days, and then I'll tell you that I've just finished. Would you accept that?"
Wang Dong: "..."
Is that really necessary?
That's just redundant and superfluous, completely unnecessary.
"No, I think there's no need for that."
He squeezed out a forced smile on his face, "I was just saying. You really shouldn't take it to heart. I'm too happy to get the treasure I wanted ahead of time. Thank you, thank you..."
As he spoke, he retreated toward the laboratory door.
Then he left these words behind, "You should rest well, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye." Then he turned and ran out of the laboratory.
Listening to the footsteps fading away, Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, revealing a knowing smile, and thought to himself: 'I hope this guy can always remain this naive, so easy to fool...'
By this time, Wang Dong had already gone downstairs and continued to run away at great speed.
What he didn't know was that after he left, the grass beneath the experiment building rustled, and then a figure gleaming with reflected light climbed out of the grass.
Watching Wang Dong's retreating figure, the figure's eyes filled with contemplation and confusion, "Why is Wang Dong here?"
"He wasn't taken away by the strong warriors of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy?"
The more he thought about it, the more illogical it seemed. After all, he was the only exchange student from Shrek Academy who had slipped through the net.
"Wait, considering Wang Dong's hurry and happiness, something good must have happened to him.
But all the students from Shrek Academy were captured, how could he still be smiling?"
The more He Caitou thought about it, the more he felt there was something fishy about Wang Dong. Following this line of thought, he soon came to a shocking conclusion, "Could it be that Wang Dong betrayed us in exchange for a reward that satisfies him?
Yes, that must be it. If it weren't for Wang Dong's secret tip-off, how could the strong warriors of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy have reacted so quickly?!"
