Chapter 157 Arrangement Completed
The area outside the Pope's Palace is covered with one thousand meters of buildings, towers, and artillery batteries. The knights of Wuhun City are stationed like this, and it is the most heavily guarded place.

Chen Xuan thought that he had to pass through this place with the help of Flying Thunder God's ability to teleport, as this was an unavoidable geographical location.

Right now, he needs to make some adjustments in this area to prevent the Flying Thunder God from being a medium.

This place is heavily guarded like a solid fortress. It is almost impossible for outsiders to make any small moves here.

However, Chen Xuan was not worried, as he had already prepared a way to deal with it. He reached for the storage soul guide and took out a few pebbles, which he held in his hand and walked out of the Pope's Palace.

He didn't need to summon his martial spirit. With just a thought, a line of small black characters appeared on the surface of a few small stones.

As usual, Chen Xuan calmly left the competition area and passed by patrolling heavy-armored knights without attracting any attention.

After walking more than 2,000 meters and leaving the camp, there were still many knights wandering around the area, patrolling and keeping watch on the surroundings.

Chen Xuan found the right opportunity and quickly took out a stone. With a whoosh, it fell into a flowerpot in the distance and was embedded in the soil.

He looked around and saw that the two heavily armored soldiers were patrolling and heading towards another area, not noticing his little movement.

To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan did not leave in a hurry. He wandered around the area, looking for an opportunity to place the stone engraved with the ritual.

A few minutes later, everything went smoothly. He hid the five stones separately, placing them at the maximum distance from Flying Thunder God. Even if one of them was found, there was another technique to replace it.

"Boy, I've been observing you for a long time. You're not going into the competition area, nor are you leaving. What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded and came into his ears out of the blue.

Chen Xuan was startled, his hair stood on end. Turning back, he saw a middle-aged man in purple clothes with a deacon's badge on his chest walking towards him.

"Discovered?" He frowned slightly, and kept his perception outward. When he placed the stone, he was sure that no one noticed.

Chen Xuan quickly calmed down and chose to trust his own perception. The person in front of him either had never entered the field of perception or was so powerful that he avoided detection.

"Who are you and why are you here?" he asked back. Judging from the aura the other person gave off, he was at most at the Soul Emperor level and couldn't be a super strong person.

The middle-aged man was dressed in purple with the emblem of the Spirit Hall Deacon on his chest, very similar to the so-called purple-robed Deacon.

He snorted coldly and said, "I am a deacon of the Spirit Hall, patrolling here to eliminate suspicious persons. I now think you are very suspicious. Tell me, which academy are you from?"

"Shrek." Chen Xuan said calmly. He needed to remain calm at this time.

Then he took out a token from his arms and threw it to the other party for inspection.

The man in purple was full of vigilance. He took a look at the token, then his expression suddenly changed and he immediately changed his attitude.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry. I'm a substitute member of the Wuhun team. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you can forgive me."

The middle-aged man smiled and no longer showed any hostility as he handed the token to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded, put away the token, and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

This token was given to him by Bibi Dong. A few days ago, the other party ignored him and listed him as a substitute for the Spirit Team. After the finals, he became a member of the golden generation of the Spirit Hall and practiced together with Hu Liena and the other three.

He originally thought that the other party wanted to sow discord between him and Shrek, but they had not announced it until today. It seemed that he was worrying too much.

"Please." The man in purple smiled.

Chen Xuan did not stay here, but left quickly, taking a ten-meter step at a time, and in the blink of an eye he was three thousand meters away.

Three thousand meters is his current maximum distance, and the Flying Thunder God Technique can only go so far.

Chen Xuan's mind moved slightly, and a string of small words appeared on his palm. He came to a stone slab and pressed it down. The black words seemed to come alive and swam to the back of the stone slab.

In this way, he only needs to activate his ability twice to teleport to a distance of six kilometers. Even for a Soul Douluo, it would take some time.

Next, Chen Xuan strolled in the city, taking a walk, strolling, and also familiarizing himself with the geographical location.

The streets were complex and chaotic, with pedestrians like water, and deacons in white clothes appeared from time to time. There were too many people in this place, and it was a bit crowded. After Chen Xuan finished shopping in the downtown area, he turned to the suburbs. The crowds became much smaller, the streets were quiet, and there were fewer shops, which made it seem much quieter.

After most of the day, combined with the exploration in the previous few days, he finally became familiar with the big city and had a certain understanding of the terrain.

Finally, he got what he wanted and planned out the shortest route, which would take him half an hour to reach the city wall.

In addition, he also planned another route, which was faster. There was no city wall there, and he would pass through a forest and arrive outside Wuhun City.

However, Chen Xuan did not choose that route because it was unsafe. That area was guarded by soldiers and it was difficult to break through.

As the sun sets, the sky turns a bright red, rendering the horizon like an oil painting, appearing somewhat desolate.

Before night fell, Chen Xuan completed all the arrangements and placed twenty-five Flying Thunder God media on the planned route, with a teleportation distance of up to 60,000 meters.

Afterwards, he went to three more blacksmith shops, paid the final payment, and put all the customized tools into the storage soul guide.

"Sir, your weapon has been made." The blacksmith greeted him with a smile and told three servants to carry out the heavy gun.

This spear is two meters long and weighs 180 kilograms. The straight and elegant gun body is engraved with unique lapis lazuli patterns and glows with metallic luster. The tip of the gun is very sharp, flashing with a cold light, as sharp as an eagle's eye.

Chen Xuan grasped it and felt the heavy texture. Without using his soul power, the weight was just right.

Before this, he gave the lapis lazuli spear to the people here to upgrade, adding many rare metals and one gram of metal worth three hundred gold soul coins, which was known as the hardest metal raw material on the continent, all of which were added to the spear.

One hundred thousand gold soul coins, not a single cent left in the end.

Chen Xuan put away the cyan gold spear, turned around and left, returning to his manor in the suburbs. After today, he became a pauper again.

When he returned to the hotel, he passed through the lobby and found Shrek strangely, Flanders, Yu Xiaogang and others gathered together discussing something.

Flanders glanced at the door and said, "Chen Xuan, come here."

Everyone at Shrek was stunned, stopped discussing, and looked towards the door at the same time.

Chen Xuan did not resist and just found a table to sit down.

The Shrek people continued to discuss, talking at once, with many people expressing their opinions and formulating strategies.

In today's battle against the New Shinpu Academy, they won, but also exposed all their cards. The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique was unveiled, and the spirit powers of the six people were all passed to Tang San, who destroyed the entire Shinpu Academy with one move of his weapon soul true body.

Therefore, in tomorrow's final, the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique will basically not be able to be used, and the Spirit Hall team will definitely take precautions.

Chen Xuan shook his head in amusement. He could only say that Yu Xiaogang had it all his own fault by putting Shrek in a passive situation.

If he were to make the plan, he would fight without reservation against the new Kamikaze today and win at all costs, and in tomorrow's finals, he would use fusion skills to win the championship in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, reality cannot be rewritten, and most importantly, he no longer wants to participate in the competition.

After half an hour of discussion, the Shrek team finally worked out a tactical plan. Including Tang San, the seven of them unanimously decided that Chen Xuan must be allowed to play.

Now that Dai Mubai is injured and unable to participate in the competition, the Nether White Tiger is ineffective, and the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique was also used today, Shrek has no trump cards left.

If Chen Xuan is deliberately hidden, it would be equivalent to giving up the championship title.

At this time, Yu Xiaogang was surprisingly silent. He did not object to the opinions of the crowd, as if he understood the importance of the matter.

"Brothers, as your big brother, I am ashamed that I cannot fight alongside you. After the game, I will host a table in a luxurious hotel!" Dai Mubai said proudly.

Tang San patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and said, "Boss Dai, although you can't play, your heart is with us. Shrek will always be a whole."

Dai Mubai sighed. He wanted so much to fight alongside his brothers, but unfortunately he no longer had this opportunity.

His eyes fell on Chen Xuan, and he said with emotion: "Brother, you can take my place tomorrow and bring my spirit into the finals. Remember, help me destroy the prestige of the Wuhun team!"
