Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way Ch 75

Su Xuan's worry proves correct. Even with the Soul Master Guild's efforts to minimize the fallout, word of Shrek's involvement begins to circulate.

Shrek Academy's recent activities draw undue attention. Coupled with their hurried departure late at night, their actions are conspicuous and ignite suspicion.

Powerful soul masters, including a Spirit Sage, trail the Skullgarry.

Despite their speed, they are outmatched by the Skullgarry's powerful engine. The vehicle maintains a relentless pace, requiring no rest.

The passengers breathe a collective sigh of relief as the pursuers fade into the distance. Yin Xiaoya anticipates Su Xuan's reprimand.

"Sorry, it was my fault. I promise to be more careful," Yin Xiaoya says, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"It's good that you understand. We are operating outside the academy, and with so many evil soul masters causing trouble, we can't afford to attract unwanted attention from orthodox soul masters. It will complicate things," Su Xuan says, relenting. "Everyone was on edge. Let's try to relax."

The Skullgarry boasts a spacious interior, easily accommodating the entire group. It's a comfortable mobile base, a valuable asset for soul masters on the road.

As the others drift to sleep, Su Xuan quietly takes a seat next to Yin Xiaoya, who appears to be resting. "Okay, now we can talk about the soul bones," she says softly.

She's cautious, even among our own people. It highlights the immense value of those spirit bones.

"I'll tell you the origin of those bones, but I'll leave out Emperor Yan and the Extreme Sky Flame Curtain," Yin Xiaoya begins.

"...So, that's the gist of it. I'm not sure how powerful they are, but I know Ma Hongjun can't absorb them yet. Since they're more beneficial to soul masters, and I want to help Shrek, I'm entrusting them to you. I hope you can help Ma Hongjun when the time is right."

"You're handing them over without hesitation? Aren't you worried Shrek might give them to someone else?"

Yin Xiaoya shakes his head. "I can't speak for Shrek, but I trust that you, Master Yu Xiaogang, and Dean Flender won't let that happen."

Trust is earned, not given. Flender and Yu Xiaogang are somewhat beholden to him because of Liu Erlong's Eyecon. As for Su Xuan, she's fiercely loyal and would risk her life for them.

Su Xuan is struck by Yin Xiaoya's sincerity. Their proximity allows her to feel his breath. She quickly averts her gaze, her cheeks flushed. "Don't worry. Ma Hongjun's martial soul has improved significantly, and Shrek will cultivate him wholeheartedly. When he's ready, the spirit bones will be his."

"Thank you," Yin Xiaoya says.

After a moment of awkward silence, Su Xuan changes the subject. "Where are we headed next?"

"No one besides you needs a new spirit ring. The goal is to unlock more Kamen Rider power. I want to go with you to the Baimu Trench first, and then I want to go straight to the World Tree."

"So, the Baimu Trench first? That's fine. If I become a Spirit King, I'll be better equipped to handle those evil soul masters. Besides, you were looking for something at the Baimu Trench, weren't you?"

"I was, but it's not necessary anymore. I'll see if we can find soul beasts that can unlock a Kamen Rider power.

Originally, Yin Xiaoya sought a specific soul beast to fully unlock the Dolphi Wizard Ring in the Baimu Trench. Now that Chimera is unlocked, including the Dolphi Wizard Ring, all of Kamen Rider Beast's powers have been obtained.

Since he half-unlocked the power of Kamen Rider OOO, he can use the ring directly, even if it's not fully unlocked.

So, Baimu Trench isn't essential. Since they're already going, he can look for a good soul beast. If he doesn't find a soul beast for an original Rider, he can unlock a new Rider, like with Cangyantian.

What about Fang Xin? He muses. She didn't find a suitable soul beast in the Lava Mountains. Maybe the Baimu Trench will have one. The system can scan for it.

"Okay, the Baimu Trench is far. Thankfully, your Skullgarry is fast. We'll save time."

"Yeah, I calculated it. Including rest stops, we should arrive in less than five days."

Five days in the Skullgarry? This Douluo world is vast.

In the following days, they travel towards the Baimu Trench without incident. However, the soul master world experiences fresh upheaval. This time, there's good news.

Groups of warriors clad in blue and white armor appear in various locations. Under the banner of the Soul Masters Association and the name of Kamen Riders, they successfully eradicate dozens of evil soul masters without suffering any losses.

The Soul Masters Guild, once reactive, now proactively searches for evil soul masters, emboldened by the Kamen Riders.

The increased activity terrifies aspiring evil soul masters. The younger generation, previously threatened by these villains, experiences a collective sigh of relief.

"Kamen Rider... He's become a significant obstacle. What about the power collection?"

A voice replies from the shadows, "Despite the increased difficulty, we've gathered enough power before their rise."

The Pope responds softly, "Well, let them cause trouble as long as we have enough power. The Martial Soul Hall must publicly combat evil soul masters to protect our reputation."

"Should we deal with the Kamen Riders?"

The Pope pauses. "They are an obstacle to be removed, but not now, and not in the Martial Soul Hall's name... Let's use the evil soul masters one last time."

"Yes."

The figure vanishes.

"Any news on Tang Hao?" The Pope asks.

Another voice replies, "We have no leads on Tang Hao."

"He's been in hiding for over a decade and has a daughter now. He has the skills to evade us. Intensify the search. We must find him before the Martial Soul Saint Meeting. I'm worried he'll disrupt our plans. If necessary, target his daughter."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Another figure disappears, leaving the Pope alone.

"Kamen Rider... Tang Hao... When all is done, none of you will pose a threat."

Almost simultaneously, Shrek Academy faces its own challenges.

A silver-haired old man, dressed in a red sweater, his hair neatly combed back, arrives at Shrek's entrance with a group of young followers.

"Flender, come out here!" He roars, his voice echoing across the academy.

"Title Douluo?!" Someone exclaims.

An aura as strong as the newcomer's emanates from the dean's office. A Four-Eyed Owl soars, landing gracefully. Flender walks out, a smile on his face.

"Oh, Dean Manla of Canghui Academy! What brings you to Shrek with such aggression?"

"Flender, when did Shrek start poaching students?"

"Poaching students?" Flender asks, still smiling. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb! Kamen Rider. You know about the recent events in the soul master world. It's you Shrek pulling the strings, isn't it? You stole our academy's entrusted students. I didn't expect this from you, Flender. Does the name Glorious Douluo mean nothing to you?"

Flender, unflinching, wipes the saliva from his face. "I think you misunderstand, senior. Of course, we respect Glorious Douluo. It's just that, in my experience, few people fear you."

Two immense auras surge from their bodies.

Manla, his veins throbbing with rage, is met with Flender's teasing. "You've misunderstood. You have a terrible temper, no friends. People don't like you, so you mistakenly believe everyone fears you?"

"Boy, you are courting death!"
