Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Chapter 179 How Many Soul Palace Elders Have Been Ate

Deep within Zhu Zhuqing's heart, a strange feeling welled up, as if today's journey seemed exceptionally long. Although she was in no hurry to continue, she felt as if she had walked for a long time but still hadn't arrived. This feeling made her frown slightly, perplexed.

"Hmm~"

She murmured softly and shook her head, trying to dispel the dizzying feeling.

However, when she looked up, the road leading to the college still seemed far and winding, and a question arose in her mind: Why is the pace so slow today?

As her doubts grew, Zhu Zhuqing frowned and tried to quicken her pace. However, at one point, her pace suddenly slowed, and she felt something strange.

The sunlight still shone on her body, which should have brought a warm touch, but it disappeared without her noticing, and was replaced by a faint chill that seemed to come quietly from all directions, making her feel uneasy.

She stopped and glanced around, the light in her eyes instantly becoming alert and sharp. Everything around her was still normal, pedestrians still passed by her in an endless stream, and the distance to Shrek Academy was not far.

However, her inner peace was not broken. She did not choose to speed up again, but moved forward slowly, while trying to expand her perception and carefully explore all possible clues around her.

After walking for a while, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped, her face became solemn, and she became secretly alert.

No, there is a problem.

Zhu Zhuqing chose to leave alone due to her unsociable personality, but a sense of unease gradually grew in her heart. Although her steps were firm, she felt a dull pain in her heart, as if something was quietly approaching.

She knew very well that as a contestant, she had just left the fighting arena, but now she fell into the abyss of illusion. She couldn't believe it in her heart. This situation was simply unimaginable.

There was a chilling atmosphere all around, and the chilling murderous intent wrapped around her like a ghost, suggesting a potential threat to her life.

The air suddenly became silent. The noisy voices on the street seemed to be sealed and disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if time had frozen at this moment.

The scenery in front of me gradually became blurred, as if covered by a layer of gauze. The clear outline was obscured by unknown shadows, and everything became blurry at this moment.

It's an illusion!
Damn it, if it weren't for the warning from my spirit just now, I probably wouldn't have noticed it yet.

"Come out!"

Although Zhu Zhuqing was a little surprised, she did not panic.

The moment you notice something is wrong, spread your perception.

But nothing around me seemed to have changed.

The Duke had told her that the more normal something is, the more abnormal it becomes.

Because it's too peaceful.

"Hehehe, the little girl is quite cautious!"

The voice that suddenly rang out was extremely gloomy, as if it had eaten several elders from the Soul Palace, and it was accompanied by a shrill, strange laugh that gave goosebumps to anyone who heard it.

Zhu Zhuqing's face changed. She heard the man's voice and it seemed to be very close to her.

But she clearly didn't sense any human presence!
Is it some kind of soul skill?
"Pa, pa, pa..." A burst of crisp applause echoed in the air, like a horn of encouragement, breaking the silent atmosphere.

The applause came from a white-haired old man. His face was as sharp as an eagle, and there was a sinister aura between his brows, which made people feel a little fearful.

Such an existence makes people intuitively guess that he is definitely not a good person.

"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you not only have extraordinary strength, but also extraordinary mental strength. Your tenacity of will is the most outstanding among all the geniuses I have ever seen." He praised Zhu Zhuqing generously, then covered his forehead and let out a few heroic laughs, as if this was a grand celebration.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

"Only by hunting down a genius like you can I bring a rare pleasure to me." He stood ten meters away from Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes sharp, but he had no interest in the beautiful woman in front of him, and he simply disdained these trivial matters.

He was indifferent to such emotions. What really excited him was watching those geniuses he believed in struggling in despair and listening to their screams and pleas for mercy. That was the pleasure he was pursuing.

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhuqing involuntarily kept a distance from him, with a hint of vigilance and doubt in her tone.

She looked straight at the old man, and the uneasiness in her heart seemed to linger like a haze.

Seeing the seven soul rings around the other party, Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled. Although she didn't know what the situation was with the old man in front of her, the cultivation level of a Soul Saint should never be underestimated.

"Are you nervous, little girl? You're right to be nervous. I came here just for you."

Shi Nian was not angry because of Zhu Zhuqing's vigilance. On the contrary, he felt that the more powerful the genius, the more vigilant they would be, which would better demonstrate their strength.

However, this little girl is really alert!
He had already used his mental power to influence her brain, yet she could still remain so calm!
He is truly a genius in spirit evolution!
Unfortunately, she met herself.

At this moment, Leosli was not far away from the two of them, watching everything that was happening.

As for Shi Nian's mind control skills, Leosli said they were average.

The old man placed his hands firmly behind his back, turned slightly to the side, and cast his gaze at Zhu Zhuqing with a hawk-like sharpness. He spoke slowly, "It is only because you are about to die that I am willing to tell you that I am Shi Nian, the leader of the Canghui team."

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart. She stared at Shi Nian in front of her, her tone revealing a hint of calmness and confusion: "So you are a teacher from Canghui College. I wonder why you stopped me here?"

Shi Nian's face showed a faint smile, but that smile was filled with a hint of indifference: "The so-called guidance is nothing more than that I just need you to disappear from this world."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was low and firm: "Is it for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition?"

Shi Nian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile. "I've been looking for an opportunity these days. Unfortunately, you always travel with other Shrek Academy students, making it difficult for me to make a move. Today, you finally gave me this opportunity. Unfortunately, you are not a disciple of my Canghui Academy. What a pity."

He said "what a pity" three times in a row. If outsiders saw it, they would think that Shi Nian really didn't want to kill Zhu Zhuqing.

It feels like there is nothing to regret.
