One of the soldiers stationed outside the detention room furrowed his brows slightly and turned to another soldier, asking, "Hmm, did you hear any noise just now?"

He thought he had heard a sound... as if something had cracked.

The latter was startled for a moment, then shook his head, "No, it's probably just the Shrek Academy students talking inside. They really have some nerve, coming to us willingly!"

The soldier nodded thoughtfully, "Is that so... then it seems it was just my imagination! But it makes sense, all of those Shrek Academy students have been fitted with Soul Suppressing Handcuffs and Spiritual Confinement Helmets, there's no way they could break free!"

"Clearly, the Major is determined not to give them a chance, that's why they have us taking shifts to keep watch twenty-four hours a day! Alright, enough talk, let's focus on our duty."

Hearing that the soldiers outside had no intention of opening the door for a check, Tang Wulin, who was leaning against the back of the detention room door, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

"Phew, that was a close one, these soldiers are really on high alert!"

He then searched for the other students and carefully removed their Soul Suppressing Handcuffs...

Feeling freed, Xie Xie exclaimed with relief, "That's much better, I wonder who came up with these Soul Suppressing Handcuffs and Spiritual Confinement Helmets, they're absolutely inhumane!"

The dual restraints on body and soul were truly more unbearable than being gravely injured!

Yue Zhengyu spoke coldly, "Hmph! The way the Northsea Legion operates is just despicable, they are nothing but a bunch of hooligans!"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips, "Actually, you can't really blame those soldiers; the higher-ups of the Northsea Legion are all from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. They have to follow orders!"

Ye Xinglan said in a deep voice, "What I want to know now is why did our Academy inform the Northsea Legion about our situation? Isn't that making things harder for us?"

Tang Wulin stroked his chin, pondering, "I'm afraid our intentions were seen through by the Academy from the start, it's impossible to reach the island by boat alone! We must use flying soul skills!"

Wu Siduo voiced her concern, "So what should we do next? The Northsea Legion's defense is tight; we need a comprehensive plan, otherwise, it won't take long for us to be exposed!"

By then, the entire Northsea Legion would be on high alert...

And for them to escape or to capture a flying soul device would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!

Tang Wulin affirmed, "Yes, but first we need to scout the situation outside, Xie Xie, Xiao Yan, I'm counting on you two!"

Getting the hint, Xie Xie immediately released his third soul skill, the Shadow Dragon Clone!

Unlike the Twin Dragon Avatar, the Shadow Dragon Clone was entirely in a shadowy state, which made it very difficult to distinguish with the naked eye in such a place...

Immediately after, Xu Xiaoyan also deployed her fifth soul skill, Star Annihilation Divine Light...

A silver light enveloped Xie Xie's clone, transporting it outside...

Xie Xie then swiftly proceeded with the reconnaissance...

After a while, Xie Xie reported back with a grim expression, "There's some trouble. There are quite a few soldiers around our detention room, with two even at the main entrance, and they are rotating guards!!"

He paused, then continued, "With this setup, even if we manage to escape the detention room, we don't know how often they'll come in to check…"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Rotating guards, huh? That's actually better than I expected, but Lizhi, I'm afraid we'll have to impose on you for this."

Puzzled, Xu Lizhi asked, "Huh? Wulin, what do you mean by that?"

Tang Wulin explained, "If we all leave, when the soldiers come to check and no one responds, we are very likely to be discovered!"

"But if we leave someone in the detention room, the chance of being exposed will be much lower."

The reason for choosing Xu Lizhi was simple, because he was the support-class Soul Master in the team...

The next second, Ye Xinglan decisively spoke up, "Wulin, how about I stay here with Lizhi? I'm a bit worried about him being here by himself."

Xu Lizhi had always followed behind the others, and now suddenly alone, he probably found it hard to adapt!

However, Xu Lizhi seriously said, "It's okay, Sister Xinglan. I haven't been much use in the team up to now, but this time, I can finally be of some help!"

Ye Xinglan hesitated, "Lizhi, can you really do it?"

Xu Lizhi looked directly at her, "Trust me, Sister Xinglan!"

Ye Xinglan nodded and reminded, "Alright... then you must be careful!"

Xu Lizhi clenched his fists, "Yes, I won't let everyone down!"

Xie Xie generously gave a thumbs up, "That's right, Lizhi, you're becoming more and more like a man! Once we get the flying soul devices, we'll come to get you out!"

Yue Zhengyu agreed, "Yeah! After we leave, we'll have to treat you to a big meal no matter what!"

Xu Xiaoyan spoke softly, "Then we'll be counting on you, Lizhi. Make sure to delay them as long as possible!"

Tang Wulin's face was complex, "We'll get the flying soul tools as fast as we can. Of course, if anything unexpected happens before that, prioritize your own safety!"

After a brief exchange, Xie Xie's clone stealthily followed the shadows to position itself behind the two soldiers, and then held the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger to their necks...

He said coldly, "Don't move! Otherwise, your heads will hit the ground, and I mean what I say!"

A chill surged in the hearts of the two soldiers as they trembled, "Who are you? What are you planning to do?"

"Even if you kill us, you won't escape!"

Xie Xie had no intention of wasting words with them and commanded coldly, "Enough talk, hurry up and get the keys, and open the sealed room behind you!"

The soldiers immediately realized something and exclaimed in shock, "A sealed room? You are... companions of those Shrek Academy students??"

Xie Xie replied disdainfully, "So what if we are? I'll give you three last seconds to open the sealed room, or die!"

After speaking, the sharp dragon daggers broke the skin on their necks, letting out a trickle of fresh blood...

Left with no other choice, they took out the keys and opened the door to the sealed room...

As the door opened, Tang Wulin and the others immediately walked out...

Seeing that every one of them had no trace of the restraint soul tools on them, they gasped in shock, "You... you actually unlocked the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs and the Spiritual Confinement Helmets??"

With those two items, even someone at the Title Douluo level couldn't do anything!

Tang Wulin did not answer the question but instead said coldly, "Sorry, we need you to take a nap! Xie Xie, do it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Xie Xie's clone struck their necks with a knife-hand, causing them to collapse onto the ground...

They then stealthily left...
