Douro Continent

Chapter 512 Soul Hunting Operation: A Clash of Soul Douluos

Tang San raised his head, his eyes now completely blue. "Mu Bai, Fatty, prepare to attack Teacher Zhao with all your might. He's about to come out. Use the Netherworld White Tiger. I'll hold Dean Flander off. Rongrong, don't worry about me, focus all your buffs on them."

"Alright!" Everyone shouted, and Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing rushed towards each other instantly, while Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone brightly.

The moment Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's bodies collided, a total of six beams of light shot out from the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, three of which landed on each of them.

Reaching level 60, Ning Rongrong's power boost was already terrifying. Don't forget, her father, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was only a Soul Saint at level 70-something. He only had one more Soul Skill than her.

Now, the amplification produced by each of her soul skills has reached a terrifying 70%. The soul skills she injected into Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are soul power amplification, strength amplification, and agility amplification, respectively.

A magnificent aura suddenly erupted from the core of the collision between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and the dazzling light brought by the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda caused their fused bodies to expand exponentially.

In the blink of an eye, a huge white tiger, over twelve meters long and with wings on its back, appeared out of thin air.

For the vast majority of students, this was the first time they had seen a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Compared to before, the appearance of the Netherworld White Tiger this time was no longer illusory; it was like a real tiger, with a tangible feel to its entire body.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill performed by two level 60 Soul Masters can reach at least level 70 or above, not to mention the compatibility between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai and the terrifying 70% amplification from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. At this moment, the aura emanating from the Netherworld White Tiger has completely surpassed that of Zhao Wuji before.

Just then, with a deafening roar, the countless layers of blue-silver cages covering Zhao Wuji suddenly exploded, the eighth spirit ring on the Mighty Vajra Bear shone brightly, and the giant bear, whose entire body had turned black, suddenly leaped out. It was Zhao Wuji's fifth spirit skill, Gravity Squeeze.

Under the influence of his Martial Soul True Body, he unleashed the full power of his Soul Douluo abilities through gravity compression. Although the Blue Silver Domain provided a significant boost, the Blue Silver Cage was, after all, only Tang San's fourth Soul Skill. Zhao Wuji then unleashed his fifth and seventh Soul Skills in quick succession, bursting forth.

However, what awaited him was an enormous tiger paw.

Zhao Wuji almost instinctively slapped it, but compared to that tiger's paw, even in his Martial Soul True Form state, his bear paw seemed a bit small, not to mention that he had just expended a lot of soul power.

With a loud bang, Zhao Wuji's body was sent flying far away.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji was completely bewildered and didn't even understand what was happening.

In mid-air, Flander naturally heard Tang San's voice, and his first reaction was to rush down towards Tang San without hesitation. He was too familiar with the Shrek Seven Devils; to defeat their combination, he first had to restrain Tang San.

However, what awaited him was a giant spider web, Tang San's third soul skill, Spider Web Binding, was unleashed.

The Blue Silver Emperor, having undergone its second awakening, experienced a massive amplification within the Blue Silver Domain, causing its spiderweb diameter to reach a terrifying twenty meters. The extremely resilient spiderweb expanded almost instantly.

Even Flander was unwilling to be entangled in Tang San's spider web. His body suddenly paused in mid-air, and he swung out his eagle claws. His fourth spirit ring shone brightly, and ten extremely sharp air blades cut out.

However, to Flander's surprise, the air blade he thought could easily cut through the spider web only caused the web to sway, without causing any real damage to the web itself.

The Blue Silver Emperor Spider Web, amplified by the full force of the Blue Silver Domain, is not so easily destroyed.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji was slapped away by the Netherworld White Tiger.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly once more, this time unleashing four beams of light. Their target was Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix who had already taken to the air, his fiery wings fully unfurled. These four beams of light represented Ning Rongrong's second, third, fifth, and sixth soul skills.

Standing at the edge of the arena, watching the battle from a distance, Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask, "What were the four buffs Rongrong gave Fatty?"

A hint of schadenfreude flickered in the master's eyes. "I'm afraid we'll be having roasted bear today. If I'm not mistaken, Rongrong's fifth soul skill will be an attack boost, and her sixth soul skill will be an attribute boost."

"Attribute enhancement? What's that?" Liu Erlong asked, puzzled.

The master said, "Attribute amplification is arguably the most important soul skill of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and it usually appears on the sixth soul skill. Attribute amplification is a boost to the user's strongest attribute. Ma Hongjun's amplified attribute is definitely his Phoenix Flame. That is to say, now not only are his soul power, agility, and attack increased by 70%, but the effect of the Phoenix Flame will also be increased by 70%. This puts Wuji in a difficult position. The true terror of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will only be revealed at level 60."

Liu Erlong's eyes widened. "My God, these little guys really have no manners!"

The master chuckled, "The reason I reminded you yesterday that it was two against five instead of one against five, besides their inherent talent, was also because of Rongrong. With her around, Tang San and the other three could all be considered level 70 or higher Soul Masters. Not to mention, they also have their own Martial Soul Fusion Skills, Soul Bones, and other abilities. Actually, I think it's questionable whether Boss Fu and Wuji can even last three incense sticks. Rongrong should have already reached the level of Four Apertures of Eternal Heart. Just wait and see, Tang San's strength hasn't fully erupted yet."

Zhao Wuji broke free of the Blue Silver Cage and was inexplicably sent flying. Naturally, he wouldn't let himself fly away like that, so he immediately unleashed his strength, and his eighth spirit ring finally lit up.

A gigantic bear-shaped phantom appeared out of thin air behind him. Zhao Wuji's entire body erupted with a layer of intense golden light, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. His body, which was flying backward, suddenly stopped, and his fists simultaneously gathered in front of his chest. A dazzling golden light with a diameter of more than one meter suddenly appeared. At this moment, it seemed that the entire Shrek Academy was trembling with the appearance of this golden light.

However, the Netherworld White Tiger still rushed forward. Similar to Zhao Wuji, the white light condensed in the mouth of the Netherworld White Tiger formed by the fusion of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, gradually turning into silver. A silver ball of light, no smaller than Zhao Wuji's golden light, appeared out of thin air.

The gold and silver light shone as brightly as two suns.

The master's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "A mid-air collision! Do you want to destroy the academy?"

Zhao Wuji only released his eighth soul skill in a moment of desperation. Hearing the master's words, he realized what was happening and quickly adjusted his angle, shooting the golden ball of light in his hand straight into the air.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing didn't dare to be negligent either, and their silver orbs of light also shot into the sky. The two dazzling halos rose into the sky in the blink of an eye, like shooting stars chasing the moon.

While still in mid-air, Flander cursed angrily, quickly retracting his wings and descending towards the ground. Even as a Soul Douluo, he absolutely refused to endure the aftershocks of those two attacks, clearly both at the Soul Douluo level, colliding in mid-air. The sensation would surely be unbearable.

Just then, a smile appeared on Tang San's lips. "Dean Flander, you should stay in the air."

Two beams of brilliant blue light suddenly shot out from Tang San's eyes. Without any spirit rings flashing or any warning, the blue light was already in front of Flander in the blink of an eye. It was the Purple Extreme Divine Light.

Flander had never seen Tang San use this skill before, but the immense pressure made his heart pound. Without time to think, he could only quickly raise his hands in front of him, unleashing his sixth soul skill. His entire body was enveloped in a layer of heavy yellow light, blocking the bombardment of the Purple Extreme Divine Light.

Two booming sounds rang out almost simultaneously. One came from the collision of the golden and silver light spheres, and the other came from Flander's body being suspended in mid-air under the impact of the Purple Extreme Divine Light.

The Purple Extreme Divine Light was unleashed through mental power, condensed and compressed by the wisdom skull of mental concentration before attacking. The penetrating attack struck Flander, and although he blocked the attack with his powerful soul power and soul skills, his body, which was trying to land, remained suspended in mid-air.

Gold and silver light erupted in mid-air, and the halo of light mixed with the two colors suddenly spread out. The enormous pressure caused the entire Shrek Academy to tremble violently, and the terrifying roar awakened the entire Heaven Dou City.

The Netherworld White Tiger split into Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai again. After their all-out attack, they were no longer able to maintain their Martial Soul Fusion Technique due to the pull of the energy generated by the collision of the two massive energies.

Zhao Wuji was also in a bad situation. If he were facing the Netherworld White Tiger alone, he might have been able to gain a slight advantage. However, he was facing the Netherworld White Tiger aided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which had a 70% amplification effect. In this clash, he was the one who suffered the loss.

His body flew backward through the air, and this time, he could no longer control his body.

Ma Hongjun, with a pair of fiery phoenix wings spread out, flew towards the spot where his body had fallen.

Zhao Wuji's blood and qi surged, but he also felt the intense heat behind him. Not daring to be careless, he barely managed to gather his soul power, intending to use a gravity control skill to land early and avoid contact with the prepared Ma Hongjun. Given a chance to catch his breath, as a Soul Douluo, he was confident he could continue the battle. After all, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were already greatly exhausted, and their threat had naturally diminished considerably.

However, at this moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly felt a tightness on his body. The crystal-clear Blue Silver Emperor had tightly wrapped around him. Tang San's second soul skill, Parasite, had come into play at this moment.

The parasitic nature wasn't particularly strong, but its suddenness was unparalleled. While he was trapped in the Blue Silver Cage, the seed of the Blue Silver Emperor had already been sown within him. And Tang San's choice of the timing for its release was, of course, absolutely brilliant.

The gravity control he was about to unleash was interrupted as his body was suddenly tightened. Zhao Wuji could even feel the sharp, piercing spikes of the Blue Silver Emperor constantly emerging and stabbing into his skin.

At that moment, his body was already close to the ground.

boom--

The surrounding air instantly distorted. With the double amplification of the Phoenix Reborn and Phoenix Wings Soaring into the Sky, Ma Hongjun landed fiercely, and the fat man's fourth soul skill, Phoenix Roaring Strike, was also unleashed at the same time.

In that distorted light, Zhao Wuji, who was about to break free from the Blue Silver Emperor, was completely paralyzed. The next moment, the scorching air completely engulfed his body.

The terrifying amplification from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda allowed the fat man's already formidable explosive power to reach 170% of its potential. Incredibly scorching flames transformed into a massive phoenix fire pillar that soared into the sky. Behind the fat man, a phoenix phantom spread its wings wide, and the fire pillar, with a diameter exceeding five meters, instantly engulfed the Immovable King.

Zhao Wuji was in a bad state, and Flander in the air wasn't much better off. The purple-level divine light struck Flander's arm, causing excruciating pain as if the bones in his arm were cracking. He managed to block it, but at the same time, he also felt the terrifying aura of the machine.

A golden and silver halo spread out, and in the terrifying burst of energy, Flander's body was thrown out like a tattered sack. The frenzied and incomparably powerful aftershock of the explosion almost tore apart all of his defenses. Countless eagle feathers fell from the sky, and our Dean was directly knocked away more than a hundred meters away.

A gentle energy flowed into Tang San's body from behind, and the warm, water-like energy instantly spread throughout his body. Tang San immediately felt his depleted soul power rapidly recover. Without a doubt, Ning Rongrong's soul power amplification had been activated. She had amplified Tang San's maximum soul power, and the effect at this moment was naturally to restore his depleted soul power.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai on the other side received the same treatment.

The flames subsided, and the fat man spread his wings and flew out. As the orange-red phoenix flames gradually faded, Zhao Wuji, whose height had returned to normal, stood there. However, at this moment, he looked more like he had been sculpted from a giant piece of charcoal.

Ma Hongjun's explosive attack power is absolutely top-notch among Soul Masters of the same level. Not to mention the terrifying amplification effect of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. What Zhao Wuji found most unbearable was the 70% increase in the attribute amplification on fire effects. At this moment, he truly smelled like meat emanating from his body.

Of course, Contra isn't so easily seriously injured, and Ma Hongjun didn't dare to go all out, so Zhao Wuji didn't suffer any real damage. However, his bear fur was completely ruined. The burns on his skin wouldn't heal in less than ten days.

The students watching the battle were already stunned. Who could have imagined that this battle, which was supposed to last for three incense sticks, would turn out like this?

Two Soul Kings and three Soul Emperors, facing two Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, had resulted in a victory with no suspense whatsoever. Most of the students didn't even understand what had happened. They stared dumbfounded at the Shrek Five Monsters in the arena—were they really only in their twenties?

Flander was undoubtedly a smart man. After finally regaining control of his body in the air, he saw the five monsters reunited below and Zhao Wuji's miserable state, and he immediately made a decision.

At this moment, Liu Erlong had just lit the second incense stick.

Dai Mubai sighed, "It's a pity Xiao Ao isn't here, otherwise we could have taken off to chase after Dean Flander."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Who says we can't take off without Xiao Ao? Come with me."

As they spoke, four Blue Silver Emperor swords silently shot out, wrapping around the four men's waists. The next moment, Tang San had already risen into the air, as if he had lost gravity, and flew directly towards Flander's direction.

As the Shrek Five flew towards him, Flander's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, Little Three, you can fly?"

Tang San smiled and said, "In this world, nothing is impossible. Dean, you see, we've both expended a lot of soul power. If we continue fighting, it will damage our relationship. How about we sue for peace?"

Flander nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I see your strength is quite good. You were able to turn Dean Zhao Wuji into a roasted bear. You've all improved a lot. Alright, that's settled then."

Zhao Wuji's appearance made his mouth taste bitter. If they continued fighting, who knew what other "surprises" these five little monsters would bring? Although Oscar didn't provide any reinforcements, it was clear that Ning Rongrong's soul power was still sufficient to sustain the amplification for a considerable period. Coupled with Tang San's unpredictable control abilities and endless stream of skills, he was losing confidence in continuing the fight.

They weren't speaking loudly, and being high in the air, the students below certainly couldn't hear them. Flander lowered his voice even further and said, "You little monsters, you should at least give me some face."

Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes, and nodded at the same time.

Flander chuckled. "Can't you even put on an act?" His body spun rapidly in the air, expanding as if caught in a storm, transforming in an instant into a giant owl. A powerful yellow aura erupted in the air, and the Shrek Five cried out in alarm almost simultaneously, their bodies plummeting towards the ground as if Flander had swatted them down with his wings.

The five landed on the ground, staggering backward. Dai Mubai shouted, "Dean Flander, stop! We concede. Our soul power is too depleted; there's no need to continue."

Flander folded his wings and transformed back into human form under the fervent gazes of the spectators. He nodded kindly and said, "You were able to defeat Dean Zhao Wuji, so your strength is quite impressive. Let's end this exhibition match here."

At this moment, the only one who was truly frustrated was Zhao Wuji. After being transformed into a roasted bear, he dared not move an inch, desperately channeling his soul power to expel Ma Hongjun's invading phoenix flame energy. Listening to Flander's words in the air, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

No one knows who started clapping, but the applause spread like wildfire, with every Shrek Academy student clapping enthusiastically, not even caring that their hands were red from clapping. They had almost never witnessed such a spectacular battle before. Their eyes burned with fervor as they watched the Shrek Five Monsters, their idol status rising ever higher in their hearts.

It was obvious to any discerning observer that the exhibition match ended somewhat hastily. Dean Flander seemed to have suddenly become stronger, or rather, the Shrek Five seemed to have suddenly weakened. Close observers even noticed that Ning Rongrong had abandoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification at the end. This was clearly impossible in actual combat.

Of course, no one would delve into these details. For the students, the important thing was that the match was exciting enough, showcasing countless dazzling soul skills and their incredible applications. They finally understood that soul skills could be used in such a way. It wasn't simply a matter of releasing soul power to unleash the skill; it required precise control, like Tang San's.

On the playground, the rapidly growing Blue Silver Grass gradually calmed down, slowly returning to its original small grass form, as if nothing had happened. Only Tang San could sense that these Blue Silver Grasses were also excitedly cheering, celebrating their chance to be nourished by the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor.

A faint divine light shone on Tang San's face amidst his smile. His hands were clasped together in front of his chest, and with each flash of light in his eyes, the air seemed to freeze. Dai Mubai rested a hand on Tang San's shoulder; for him, the feeling of the battle just now was as if he had returned to five years ago. Only by cooperating with Tang San could they experience such exhilarating combat. Only Tang San could make battle so simple.

With the help of their teachers, the students managed to maintain order. To avoid causing a disturbance, the Shrek Five Monsters quickly left.

Zhao Wuji's injuries weren't serious, but his skin would still need some time to heal. At least until the Shrek Five left, he didn't show up again, clearly frustrated. Years ago, he had also been frustrated by Tang San's hidden weapons. After this exhibition match, Zhao Wuji secretly vowed that no matter what, he would never spar with these little monsters again.

Dean's Office.

Flander looked at the children he had watched grow up with a touch of helplessness, but also with immense pride. They had truly matured; at level sixty, they possessed strength equivalent to even higher levels. They were now truly capable of roaming the world of Soul Masters. He was even more convinced that it wouldn't be long before these children surpassed him. They were the true golden generation of the Soul Master world!

"Little monsters, what are your plans?" Although he was asking everyone, his gaze was mainly fixed on Tang San and Ma Hongjun.

Ning Rongrong's future naturally hinges on succeeding as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; this is her inevitable choice. As for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, they must strive for the throne of the Star Luo Empire. They have no other choice but to survive. Judging from the current situation, they are clearly capable of accomplishing this task.

Ma Hongjun and Tang San are different. Neither of them has a clear powerful backer, even though Tang San has already gained the recognition of the Clear Sky Sect. This is because the Clear Sky Sect is still in seclusion and will likely not reappear until Tang San completes his ten-year mission.

That's why Flanders asked that question.

Ma Hongjun spoke first, "Teacher, I've been wandering around outside for the past few years, doing nothing. And if I don't work harder, I'll fall behind them. If you're willing to take in your only disciple, then I'll stay at the academy and follow you and the master in cultivation. If you'd like me to be a teacher or something, I won't object."

Flander's eyes lit up. "You've got some conscience after all. You can stay then. One more person won't make a difference."

The fat man chuckled, clearly pleased with himself.

Dai Mubai, standing to the side, chuckled, "I think this guy's decision to stay is clearly purposeful. Dean Flander, you'd better be careful."

"Oh?" Flander glanced at the fat man, and Ma Hongjun quickly straightened up and said, "Teacher, don't listen to Boss Dai's nonsense. What purpose could I possibly have? I just want to stay by your side and keep you company. But you have to protect me. If Teacher Zhao wants revenge, and Third Brother and the others aren't here, I can't handle it!"

Dai Mubai curled his lip. "Others may not know you, but do you think I don't? You decided to stay because of the way those junior students were worshipping you, right? Dean, think about it, after we all leave, Fatty will be the only one of the Shrek Seven Devils left, won't he? He'll be the center of attention! It won't be difficult for him to fool a few more pretty girls then, and living under that admiring gaze will satisfy his vanity even more. Fatty, am I right?"

Ma Hongjun's chubby face flushed red. "What nonsense! I'm a respectable man. Do you think I'm like you? I'm too embarrassed to even talk about what happened to you back then. What twin lolis..."

Seeing Dai Mubai's fierce gaze, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything more.

Flander shook his head helplessly. He knew his disciple very well. Dai Mubai's words accounted for at least 70% of the reason he was willing to stay, and the other 30% was probably what Fatty himself said. However, regardless, he was still very happy to have his direct disciple by his side.

His gaze shifted to Tang San, "Little San, what about you?"

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "First, I need to find Xiao Wu, and then obtain my sixth spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest. As for what comes after that, I think I'll wait until I find Xiao Wu. Perhaps I'll stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and cultivate with her, or maybe I'll come back, or perhaps I'll wander around the continent cultivating. Although our spirit power is already quite good, it's still a considerable distance from that of true powerhouses. And we'll have to rely on our own strength to gradually close that gap."

Flander nodded and said, "If you don't have a suitable place to go, you can come back. The academy's gates are always open to you. No matter what happens, you can come back. Even the Spirit Hall would have to think twice before trying to harm Shrek Academy, after all, they don't dare to truly turn against the two great empires."

At this moment, the master suddenly spoke up: "Little San, when have you decided to leave?"

Tang San looked at Grandmaster and said, "Master, I plan to set off first thing tomorrow morning. Although the chances of reuniting with my brothers are slim, I'm very worried about Xiao Wu. It's been five years since we last met, and I don't know how she's doing. How about this, let's make another five-year promise. Five years later, we'll still reunite at the academy. By then, Xiao Ao should be back too, and I can bring Xiao Wu along, so the Shrek Seven Devils can be together again."

Dai Mubai laughed and said, "Alright! My old man is in his prime now. Even if I become the crown prince, I won't become the emperor anytime soon. There's plenty of time. Let's make it five years then. Little San, it seems that although your soul power is not as good as mine now, your strength is still above mine. In five years, I will try to turn this situation around."

Tang San smiled and said, "Then you'd better work hard. My current strength is not just what you saw today." In today's exhibition match, he still had the Killing God Domain and Eight Spider Lances unused. He also did not use his fifth soul skill. Of course, Dai Mubai's fifth and sixth soul skills were not displayed either.

Flander sighed softly, "I really hope to see you all become Title Douluos. I hope I can live to see that day. Then I can die in peace. At that time, the academy will still need your help."

The master wasn't as talkative as Flander, but Tang San would never miss the hint of reluctance in his eyes when he looked at Tang San.

Tang San had made up his mind. Once he found Xiao Wu, he would definitely return to spend some time with his master. He knew very well that although Grandmaster and Liu Erlong were nominally husband and wife, they were not actually married and would not have any children. Grandmaster treated him like his own son; he was like a second father to him. Compared to Tang Hao, Grandmaster had given him no less.

……

Night falls. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Castle.

The night was quiet tonight, with a whistling wind blowing and patches of dark clouds obscuring the starlight and moonlight, making the earth appear even darker.

Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle, two disciples on patrol were strolling around. They both looked tired and walked on aimlessly.

As one of the seven major sects today, the Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for many years, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become the leading sect besides the Spirit Hall. It is also the wealthiest spirit master sect. Its status in the spirit master world is extremely high, unshakeable even by the Spirit Hall.

That's why the castle where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located has been peaceful for far too long. So much so that the disciples on patrol don't need to take it too seriously. They don't believe anyone would dare to lay a finger on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ji Lingling shivered. Suddenly, the patrolling disciple on the left said to the patrolling disciple on the right, "Xiao Yi, I feel a little cold."

"You have a cold?" Xiao Yi opened his eyes wider. He had been cultivating for quite a while during the day, and now drowsiness was constantly creeping into his brain.

The patrolling disciple on the left shook his head and said, "No! We Soul Masters rarely get sick. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive. Wait for me, I'm going to use the restroom." With that, he walked towards the bushes not far away.

Xiao Yi stood there somewhat bored, waiting for his companions. Their patrol area covered a kilometer radius from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle. This expanded patrol had been going on for many years.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi's eyes, which were just about to close as he dozed off, caught a faint glimmer of light. Immediately afterward, his ears twitched.

As a patrolling disciple, Xiao Yi's own strength wasn't particularly high; his entry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was largely due to his ancestors' influence. However, he possessed an ability that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve: hearing. His martial soul, like Flander's, was an owl. The difference was that there were different types of owls; Flander's type excelled in combat, while his owl martial soul inherited more of the owl's reconnaissance abilities.

Owls hunt almost entirely by hearing at night. This is also Xiao Yi's strongest ability.

With a slight twitch of his ears, he heard a soft thud. Based on his years of experience, he could clearly distinguish that it was the sound of a person falling. Not daring to be negligent, he quickly pushed his hearing to its limit.

Suddenly, a series of rustling sounds entered my ears. Although they were very soft, they came from all directions like a tidal wave.

"Enemy—attack—!" came the almost furious roar, so clear in the silent night.

The next moment, the icy chill seeped into his back, pierced through his chest, and punctured every one of his internal organs.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is, after all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In the very moment before his death, Xiao Yi flung out a thin bamboo tube. With a piercing shriek, a beam of red light shot into the sky, exploding into a dazzling flower of light in the blink of an eye.
