Chapter 209 Shrek Academy VS Canghui Academy
Upon hearing this, the master's face turned pale and then red, especially since his past had been exposed to his face, which made him feel extremely ashamed and indignant. However, for the sake of that slim hope, he still endured the humiliation and said:
"No! Dong'er, listen to me! If you're willing to tell me the cultivation method for twin martial souls, I promise you! I can guarantee with my own integrity that Tang San... he will never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall! He won't seek revenge against the Spirit Hall!"
"You're guaranteeing me? Guaranteeing my integrity?"
Bibi Dong was thoroughly enraged by the master's shameless promise, especially the word "Dong'er," which ignited the long-suppressed anger and resentment in her heart.
"Yu Xiaogang! Your character became worthless the moment you left me for your ridiculous sister!"
At this point, she abruptly stopped holding the jewel-encrusted papal scepter in her hand!
"boom--!"
Instantly, a vast and boundless soul power, accompanied by overwhelming rage, erupted like a tangible shockwave from the spot where the scepter was slammed to the ground!
Before the master could even react, he was struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer. He screamed and was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the solid wall behind him with a thud before sliding to the ground.
"puff--!"
He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his chest felt as if it were being torn apart. His internal organs, which had just been repaired, seemed to shift again, and his vision went black.
"Get out of here right now!"
With a furious roar, Bibi Dong's voice was devoid of any emotion as she said, "Say another word, and I won't hesitate to immediately end the new life that the Rakshasa God has just bestowed upon you!"
Seeing that Bibi Dong was already furious and her eyes were filled with murderous intent, the master dared not linger for even a moment.
Suppressing the excruciating pain in his chest, he didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Like a stray dog, he hurriedly turned around, almost using both hands and feet to pull open the heavy palace door, and fled the bedchamber in a dejected manner without daring to look back.
After a while.
The heavy temple doors slowly closed behind the master, isolating him from his disheveled figure.
Inside the sleeping quarters, silence returned, with only the lingering ripples of soul energy and a faint smell of blood remaining in the air.
However, just a few breaths after the master left, Bibi Dong, who had been cold and menacing, swayed slightly.
The coldness on her face seemed to melt away instantly, replaced by a deep weariness and an indescribable complex emotion.
She did not leave. Instead, she walked step by step to the magnificent bed where the master had just lain, where a trace of warmth and warmth still lingered. Then, she stretched out her slender, white fingers and gently stroked the soft mattress, her movements carrying a gentleness that was incongruous with her status as pope.
Immediately afterwards, Bibi Dong slowly turned to her side and lay down on the bed, curling up and burying her face in the pillow that still carried the aura of the master.
"Xiaogang, I'm sorry... this is the only way I can help you..."
"Only by making you completely corrupt and bound to the Rakshasa god can I save your life. I hope... you won't blame me."
A barely audible, choked murmur echoed softly in the empty, silent bedchamber, sounding full of pain and helplessness.
"As for Tang San, and that Tang Chuan who suddenly appeared..."
"They had to die."
This vulnerability lasted only a moment.
When Bibi Dong raised her head again, her purple eyes were once again filled with coldness, and beneath that coldness lay an extremely intense killing intent.
…………
A few days later, at the Heavenly Battle Arena.
The enormous circular arena was still bustling with activity, the enthusiastic atmosphere like an inextinguishable flame. The soul-guiding lights illuminated the central battle arena as bright as day, the stands were packed, flags of various academies fluttered in the wind, and countless spectators' faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.
The host's passionate voice resonated throughout the venue via the megaphone:
"Round 26 of the Preliminaries: Shrek Academy vs. Canghui Academy!"
"boom--!"
The moment his words fell, the entire Great Soul Arena erupted in a thunderous applause, cheers, and heated discussions!
"Shrek Academy! They've finally made their comeback!"
"I heard their key players haven't played in several previous games. Will they field their strongest lineup today?"
"Tang San and Master haven't shown up yet, what's going on?"
"Canghui Academy isn't weak either; their gem spirit combinations are quite troublesome!"
"I'm optimistic about Shrek Academy, after all, they have Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing!"
"It's hard to say. Shrek Academy's performance seems to be fluctuating lately. Canghui might pull off an upset!"
A cacophony of voices rose from the stands, everyone speculating about the outcome of the match. Shrek Academy, due to its previous performance and the reputation of its masters, had always been the focus of attention. Despite recent negative rumors and the absence of key players, it still had a large number of supporters.
With its unique gemstone martial soul and tacit teamwork, Canghui Academy was a dark horse in the preliminaries and should not be underestimated.
At this moment, in a designated spectator area.
The team members from Tianxing Academy and Tianshui Academy sat together in a harmonious atmosphere.
After the previous battle of souls and the subsequent exchanges, especially after Shui Yue'er finally confirmed that Tang Chuan was the mysterious blue-haired boy who had saved her from a soul beast attack on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest many years ago, the two academies have become friends!
Shui Yue'er sat beside Tang Chuan, a bright smile on her pretty face, talking to him in a low voice, occasionally covering her mouth and giggling, her eyes filled with a hint of intimacy.
This scene drew the attention of many onlookers, who wondered why the two powerful academies had suddenly become so friendly.
On the other side...
The atmosphere was completely different in Shrek Academy's exclusive spectator area.
Flander pushed up his signature crystal glasses, his sharp gaze fixed on the strange formation of the seven members of Canghui Academy on the fighting stage. His face was somewhat gloomy as he muttered, "It seems these little monsters will be a tough opponent in this match."
"Boss, are you being too nervous? According to the data, only one of these seven people from Canghui Academy is a Soul Master who just broke through to level 40; the other six are only Soul Venerables in their thirties. Tang San and the others are all Soul Masters; their strength is overwhelming. They should be fine, right?"
Standing beside him, Zhao Wuji, a man as burly as a bear, replied in a gruff voice.
Zhao Wuji was confident in the abilities of his students.
In particular, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing, the main force, should have been easy targets for him.
Flander shook his head, pointed to the strange formation of the Canghui Academy members, and said in a deep voice:
"Wuji, look at their formation and the arrogance in their eyes. Canghui Academy is famous for its Gemstone Martial Souls. Individually, these martial souls may not be top-tier, but they excel at teamwork, especially with special fusion techniques or formations. I'm worried... they might have some trump card we don't know about, specifically designed to deal with Shrek Academy."
Just as he finished speaking, a deep voice came from behind him:
"This Canghui Academy is not to be underestimated. In previous competitions, they only lost to Tianxing Academy, Shenfeng Academy, and Tianshui Academy."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Flander's body jolted, and he turned around excitedly.
A middle-aged man with a haggard face and sunken eyes, but whose gaze was deeper than ever before and even carried a hint of darkness, was slowly walking toward them.
It was none other than the master Yu Xiaogang, who had been missing for several days!
"Xiao Gang?!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Flander was both surprised and delighted. He quickly went to greet him, grabbed the master's shoulders with both hands, and carefully examined him, his tone full of concern:
"You...you're back? I heard from Xiao San and Haotian Douluo that you...you..."
The master raised his hand and waved it weakly, interrupting Flander's words. His voice carried a deliberately suppressed calm as he said, "The rest is a long story. I'll explain it to you in detail when we get back to the academy. Now, let's watch the match."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk more, Flander nodded despite his doubts, forcibly suppressing the urge to continue asking questions.
However, just as he approached the master, his nose twitched slightly involuntarily.
A faint, yet undeniable, pungent smell of blood, mixed with a subtle, chilling odor, entered his nostrils.
Immediately, Flander's expression changed slightly. As a flying beast spirit master, his sense of smell was far more acute than that of ordinary people. He frowned slightly, looked sharply at the master, and lowered his voice, saying:
"Xiao Gang, why do you smell so strongly of blood?"
He paused, his nostrils flared again, and his tone became even more serious.
"This smell...it seems...to be the smell of human blood?!"
This statement came out.
Zhao Wuji, who was standing next to him, also widened his eyes instantly and looked at the master in disbelief.
The master's expression turned extremely ugly the moment Flanders asked that question, even flashing with a hint of barely perceptible panic. His voice became hurried as he said:
"You...you smelled it wrong! There's no blood at all! It's...it's just some animal blood I accidentally got on my skin on the way back! Let's watch the game, let's watch the game first!"
Meanwhile, not far away.
Tang Chuan, who was sitting with the group from Tianshui Academy, also keenly sensed the faint smell of blood in the air with his powerful mental energy, which seemed out of place with the lively atmosphere around him.
Immediately afterwards, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
This smell wasn't from a soul beast; it carried a chilling, deathly aura, more like... human blood, and human blood tainted with some ominous aura.
With a thought, his vast, ocean-like blue-silver domain instantly swept silently towards the direction from which the smell of blood was coming, like mercury spilling onto the ground.
The immense spiritual power acted like a sophisticated detector, quickly pinpointing the source of the bloody smell: the middle-aged man who had just appeared in Shrek Academy's spectator area and looked somewhat haggard!
Yu Xiaogang?!
"What?! How is he still alive?!"
Instantly, a storm raged in Tang Chuan's heart.
According to his plan and judgment, the master, whose spine had been damaged by his Blue Silver Emperor Spikes and whose Golden Sacred Dragon essence had been drained, had no chance of survival!
Even if Tang Hao takes him away, he will at most be able to keep his breath.
It would be absolutely impossible for me to be able to move around here as freely as I am now!
Please vote for me! I update every day at 12:00 AM!
