Chapter 324 Don't Let It Be Too Late to Regret
“They’re all here.”

In the rest room of the Heavenly Soul Royal Academy, Ning Wuque and Bei Bei arrived side by side. Members of the Body Sect and the two Heavenly Soul Empire members were discussing something during the preparation time before the competition began.

Upon seeing Ning Wuque, Huo Yuhao was the first to stand up and warmly welcome him:
"Brother Wuque, and Brother Beibei, what brings you here? Please have a seat!"

"It's nothing, we're just here to say a few words and will be leaving soon, so as not to delay your tactical discussions."

Ning Wuque waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, and Bei Bei beside him nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao responded on behalf of his group, then looked at Bei Bei and seemed to have thought of something before asking:

"Yes, no problem. But is Brother Beibei here because of Sister Xiaoya? Don't worry, I've already discussed this with Brother Aotian. At most, we'll seriously injure her, but we won't kill her."

Sister Xiaoya has also been kind to me, and I will remember Brother Wuque's teachings and not forget them because of her current status. Although she has become an evil soul master, I think it would be better to leave her to Shrek Academy to handle themselves.

"Thank you! Yuhao, Long Aotian, and everyone else. I thank you all. If you have time, please come visit Shrek Academy. I will definitely do my best to be a good host and show you around."

Bei Bei looked relaxed, then solemnly bowed to Long Aotian and the others to express his gratitude. It goes without saying how important Tang Ya was to him. He then added his assurance:

"As for Tang Ya... I will try to capture her after the competition. It would be even better if she could be seriously injured in this competition, as that would make the process much smoother. I guarantee that once she is captured and brought back to the academy, she will never leave again, otherwise..."

At this point, boundless heartache and determination flashed in Beibei's eyes. Although he didn't finish his sentence, anyone could sense what he wanted to say.

He will... cook Tang Ya himself!
It wasn't that he was heartless or that he had forgotten the promise and feelings between them, because it was one of the things he had promised Xuanzu Mu'en.

One night, Moon told him about the mistakes he made when he was young, as well as Ye Xishui, the greatest evil spirit master who might still be alive today, and the similar experiences and choices he had back then and now.

He failed to keep a close watch on Ye Xishui, allowing her to be rescued by the evil spirit masters attacking the academy; that was the biggest mistake he ever made.

Mu En didn't want Bei Bei to repeat the same mistake, so... if Tang Ya escaped, killing her was one of his biggest wishes for Bei Bei.

Beibei still remembers the warning and almost threatening words of the Xuan Ancestor that day. If he couldn't bring himself to do it, Elder Xuan and Zhang Lexuan would take care of everything for him. They must not let another "Ye Xishui" be born from an evil soul master!
Ma Xiaotao, who is imprisoned under the Sea God of Shrek Academy and gradually becoming corrupted, is in the same situation. If an evil soul master comes to break her out of prison, then Xuanzi and Zhang Lexuan have the right to kill her directly! This is also a request he made to Yan Shaozhe.

Before leaving, Moon was making a final contribution to the academy with his last bit of dignity and prestige, so that the two of them wouldn't be mistakenly killed by "others" and ruin their harmony.

“I’m here for a similar reason to Beibei. There’s a guy named Tang Dai in the evil spirit master team. His martial spirit is the Skeleton King. I hope you can spare his life, and also spare the lives of one or two other evil spirit masters to avoid it seeming too deliberate.”

After Bei Bei finished expressing her gratitude, Ning Wuque took the opportunity to state his purpose:
"As for the reason... if you are curious after this competition, you can come and talk to me privately, but not now."

"The Tang Dynasty, right? I'll remember that." Long Aotian nodded first, while the others remained silent. Only Huo Yuhao responded after Long Aotian finished speaking:
"Brother Wuque, don't worry, I will control my strength."

It wasn't that the others didn't trust Ning Wuque, but rather that the lineup for this competition had already been decided: only Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian would participate, and the others would avoid direct conflict with the strange evil soul masters.

After all, their Body Sect doesn't have the same methods as the Evil Soul Masters to rapidly increase their cultivation level, so apart from Long Aotian, they only have three Soul Emperors who have awakened their Martial Souls a second time.

However, they are still not qualified to face evil spirit masters. At most, they can only fight to the death, and there is still a possibility that they will be injured, maimed or killed by the opponent's martial spirit!
This can be seen from the first appearance of the Holy Spirit Sect. Normal soul masters would likely be killed without anyone noticing if they faced them!
Relying on their physical strength to fight, apart from Vina and Gu Tong, no one can make too many predictions about them, so as to confirm whether they have the ability to avoid fatal crises and fight against evil soul masters.

Considering the future of the sect, Long Aotian did not risk sending everyone to the field. Instead, he planned to join forces with Huo Yuhao to destroy the entire Holy Spirit Sect together!

After all, Long Aotian knows his junior brother's abilities best, and Huo Yuhao doesn't need to fight for too long. He can simply concede defeat and enter the team battle after winning three battles, leaving everything to him.

He was confident he could wipe out the entire Holy Spirit Sect team by himself!
If Long Aotian was considering the future of the sect and didn't want others to come into contact with an enemy that could lead to their demise too early, then Huo Yuhao simply didn't want Vina to get hurt.

After all... they not only have the de facto relationship of husband and wife, but they are also just one formal wedding away from being husband and wife. Since childhood, he has valued family ties very much because of his mother, so how could he let Vina take risks and do something that he would regret for the rest of his life because of a competition?
"Are you confident? After all, you have to fight three Soul Emperors in a row, and even Soul Saints might be eliminated early."

After giving their instructions, Bei Bei and Ning Wuque did not leave immediately. Instead, at Huo Yuhao's urging, they stayed to hear about their plans, and then looked at Huo Yuhao with some worry.

Long Aotian wasn't worried at all. The two 100,000-year soul bones and the 100,000-year soul ring were the best guarantee. Besides, if he was poisoned and didn't die, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.

Even if they don't, the other hidden Super Douluo aren't like Xuanzi, who just sits around doing nothing.

But Huo Yuhao… Ning Wuque was a little worried. He didn’t have as many opportunities as in the original story, or rather, some of those opportunities had been replaced by other opportunities. But facing three evil soul masters and soul emperors would still be quite difficult.

His foundation was too weak; before condensing the Yin-Yang complementary soul core, his soul power was an absolute weakness among top geniuses.

A series of challenges is no easy feat.

“If the Soul Saint doesn’t intervene, I can defeat all five of them by myself without any problem! But if you want to kill them, three should be enough. However, with your request, Brother Wuque, dealing with them will be no problem at all.”

"Yes, confidence is a good thing, but before you are completely sure, try to rely on yourself. As long as you have the strength, you can always make a comeback."

"I understand, I still have Vina to marry! I might as well surrender."
