Chapter 308 Hunting Feast
"you--!"

On the arena, the words of the Holy Spirit Sect contestant infuriated the instructor from Tiandu Academy—this was murder! Murder! Murder!
Even in the previous competition, murders were only nearly committed during the final match.

Most students in the ordinary academy are raw recruits who have never even seen death. They might accidentally kill someone, but they would never even consider killing! But once this precedent is set...

"What do you mean, 'I'? I've made myself perfectly clear. If you have the guts, kill me. If not, shut your mouths and move on to the next one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher in charge of the Tiandu Academy team on the arena could even hear the undisguised sound of the other party licking his lips, as if he had not killed anyone at all, but had only enjoyed the delicious tender meat of his prey.

For a moment, the teacher in charge gave him a disgusted look, then glanced at the indifferent referees and the highest spectator seats of the organizers, before picking up his student and shouting:
"We're not competing anymore. Tiandu Academy is withdrawing from this competition. Everyone, follow me!"

Without any hesitation, this responsible teacher did not send his students to face an invincible enemy and risk their lives to defend a worthless "glory." Instead, he chose to protect their lives and lead them away from this competition that had become distorted.

But... is it really okay to leave?
On the high platform, Xu Tianran looked at the team leader who loudly announced his withdrawal from the arena without saying anything, but simply turned his head slightly to look at the middle-aged man not far away beside him.

He was also dressed in black with a hood and a mask to conceal his identity; from the outside, only his eyes were visible.

When Xu Tianran looked at him, his only response was to nod his head slightly.

After the two sides finished their discussion, they looked at the scene on the arena as if nothing had happened, while they heard complaints from other teams.

.........

"Evil Soul Master..."

In the Shrek Academy's lounge, everyone on the viewing platform frowned. Apart from a few reserve team members who were seeing an evil soul master for the first time, the others' eyes showed either hatred, anger, or... a little fear.

The evil spirit masters' killing spree reminded them of their near-death experience and the death of their companion.

"They'd better pray they don't run into us, right, Bebe?"

"I won't be lenient, even if..."

Beibei lowered his head gently and apologized to Tang Ya in his heart. He probably couldn't wake her up in a "gentle" way.

The others understood the meaning behind the two men's words: kill!

Once you encounter this group of evil spirit masters, there's no need to hold back; just kill them all!

"Cough cough~"

Ning Wuque coughed lightly twice, his unusual behavior attracting the attention of others. He then gestured towards Bei Bei with his eyes.

Soon, Bei Bei understood Ning Wuque's meaning and made a hand gesture. Then she followed Ning Wuque to a corner of the room.

Upon reaching the corner, a spatial shield had somehow unfolded, enveloping the two of them. Apart from the extremely obvious sensory prompts, everything felt perfectly natural.

Are there any points to note regarding the Holy Spirit Sect?

Knowing that she and Ning Wuque were in a completely safe situation, Bei Bei got straight to the point and asked directly.

Ning Wuque must have called him aside for this reason. The other party had spoken to him last night and explained some things; this was likely a last-minute supplement. Sure enough, Ning Wuque spoke up to remind him:
"There is one in the Holy Spirit Sect whose martial soul is the Skeleton King that cannot be killed. I will help with the others as well, but it would be best to leave one or two alive."

"I understand."

Without asking any further questions, although Beibei was unaware of the details, he chose to believe Ning Wuque.

Based on the current combat power of the evil soul masters, it can be inferred that only he, Ning Wuque, and Xu Sanshi could kill them. If they encounter other teams, apart from the Body Sect, Sun Moon Sect, and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, few other forces have the ability to kill them on the arena.

Needless to say, Sun and Moon were already aware of the fact that this place was a den of thieves last night, and he even discussed it with Elder Xuan and Zhang Lexuan.

Both the Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are matters that Ning Wuque can decide with a single word, so there's not much to say about them.

Only then did the two leave the spatial shield and continue watching the match with the others.

…………

The Holy Spirit Sect's killing incident undoubtedly had a huge impact on the competition. In the first two days of the competition, everyone was mainly focused on stopping short of defeat, at most crippling the opponent's limbs or causing them to lose combat power or quickly end the battle.

Even the disciples of the sects were very restrained, adhering to the unspoken rule of the competition that friendship comes first.

But the Holy Spirit Sect did indeed set a precedent! A precedent of murder!
In the following matches, apart from some academy factions that had not yet started killing, most of the other sect factions had already begun killing during the matches.

The so-called referees of the Sun Moon Empire can only guarantee that those who can be saved on the surface will be saved, but those who die directly from poisoning, freezing, or even heatstroke will not be given much attention.

After all, this is an internal human problem. If someone refuses to admit defeat and insists on pushing through, who knows whether or not they should be saved? What if they are saved and then bitten back and have to compete again?
In just one day, four deaths occurred outside of the Holy Spirit Sect! Three of them were poisoned, and the remaining one suffered brain death due to a direct mental attack, which was not much different from death.

However, due to the increasing number of deaths, some academy factions have begun to withdraw, and they voluntarily withdrew from the competition after today's matches.

After giving a brief report, he left Mingdu without further ado and embarked on his return journey.

only………

"Delicious! So delicious! How long has it been since I've had such fresh and delicious meat? It would take dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people to equal the quality of a Soul Master at the Soul Grandmaster level, and the taste is still terrible."

"Hehehe, it really is a feast. We can't let the rest of them get away. Right now, there are more monks than porridge. If you want to eat more, you have to grab some before the others do."

"Hiccup~ I've broken through level 60! The boost from being a Soul Master is still the greatest. Keep going!"

"go!"

As night fell, groups of evil spirit masters, aided by their soul tools, located the departing teams and launched ambushes in the direction they had gone.

Within three days, all the teams that withdrew from the competition became their prey, and they could enjoy a little of this kind of buffet every day.

The only difference is that the risk increases as you progress.
