Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 264 The Zhengtian Team Was Deceived

All seven members of the Zhengtian Advanced Soul Master Academy team were now in a state of complete stiffness.

The strongest Soul King, level 58 Ye Wuqing, had his pupils trembling wildly, as if he were enduring immense pain.

"Damn evil spirit master!"

"You dare to make a move here? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Star Luo Empire?!"

Amon adjusted his monocle over his right eye, a pleased smile spreading across his face.

"Oh, you have the Golden Leaf Martial Soul."

"You've trained your top-tier plant-type martial soul quite well; it must have undergone an evolution."

“Normal golden leaves don’t have your sharpness. It seems you must have absorbed a sword grass with golden bloodline as your soul ring.”

"Its overall strength is not as good as the legendary Blue Silver Emperor, but it is definitely stronger than the Blue Silver King."

"I quite like your martial spirit; let me borrow it for a while."

"I will return my body to you after the match."

"As for chasing them down?"

"If they are discovered, I'll give them my life. If one isn't enough, I have plenty more."

Ye Wuqing was speechless at this moment. As the strongest member of the Zhengtian team, he received the most care from Amon.

At this moment, Shangguan Can, who had been relatively inconspicuous, suddenly screamed. He was one of the few spirit attribute soul masters in this competition, and his spiritual power cultivation was the strongest among them.

Therefore, one can clearly see the state of one's own mental sea. However, sometimes ignorance is not a bad thing; knowing too much can be frightening.

"Team, captain!"

"There are worms in the sea of ​​the spirit!"

"I... I'm starting to lose all feeling in my body."

Shangguan Can watched in horror as the eerie, illusory insect, composed of twelve transparent rings, slowly climbed into his sea of ​​consciousness and began to invade his soul.

The first thing to be stripped away is the martial spirit, followed by the spirit rings and spirit skills connected to it, and finally the soul and body.

"Soul-catching bell?"

"A spiritual attribute weapon spirit, that's really rare. The quantity of spiritual power is huge, but the quality is lacking."

"Remember next time, the quality of a normal Soul Master's spiritual power is more important than its quantity."

"If the quantity is too large and cannot be controlled, it is easy for spills to occur, which can be exploited by others."

Everyone on the Zhengtian team felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an abyss.

Because the Amon in front of them didn't speak, and the voice that sounded like an explanation was clearly that of their teammate Shangguan Qian.

Yan'er and Yu Mengdi, who were standing nearby, struggled to turn their heads and what they saw made them terrified.

Because Shangguan Can, who was standing next to them, had stood up at some point, wearing the same smile as Amon, and a monocle appeared in his right eye. He was looking at the two of them with great interest and said:
"What's wrong? My dear teammate?"

"Is there anything you'd like to add to my explanation? Please feel free to say so."

"After all, I never had a systematic education; much of my knowledge was given to me in my dreams by some voyeur."

"If I said anything wrong, don't blame me. Go find that peeping tom."

Ye Wuqing spoke with difficulty:
"What...did you do to him?"

"Get out of our... bodies!"

"Captain, what are you saying?"

"What? Our bodies? What happened?"

Two clear female voices entered Ye Wuqing's ears. Yu Mengdi and Yan'er came up behind Ye Wuqing, patted her on the shoulder, and spoke with a hint of doubt in their voices.

"Yeah, Captain, why did you suddenly kneel down?"

"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly, Captain, you promised to treat us to a meal."

Two more male voices reached Ye Wuqing's ears from behind.

Whether it was Amon deliberately loosening his control or not, Ye Wuqing actually resisted the Time Worm's erosion. His neck, like a machine that had been rusted for many years, twisted little by little, making a "creaking" sound.

The scene behind him was reflected in his dark eyes. His teammates, led by the two Soul Kings Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei, looked at him with concern, creating a touching scene of deep camaraderie among teammates.

Of course, this was on the premise that they weren't wearing monocles. Ye Wuqing's mouth opened and closed slightly, his gaze blank, as if he were trying to express something.

His body suddenly trembled, and he stood up again, patted the dust off his clothes, and pinched a monocle out of the air with his fingers and put it on his right eye.

"I know, I know."

"I will take good care of your bodies. Isn't it just that we want to defeat Shrek?"

The entire Zhengtian team was now wearing monocles, and although their smiles were bright, there was an inexplicable sense of unease about them.

"Hey you, you perverted peeping tom, I've finished what I needed to do, aren't you coming out yet?"

Amon, who was leading the way, looked towards the exit of the contestants' passage, and for the first time, a look of helplessness appeared on his usually smiling face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Adam appeared in Amon's field of vision.

Before Amon could speak, Adam said first:
“Amon, I should have reminded you not to do anything unnecessary.”

Amon shrugged, his tone still light and playful with a smile, but there was a hint of seriousness hidden within it.

“Brother, but in my opinion, this is not a superfluous matter.”

"You know what I want, and aren't you helping me?"

Adam fell silent. The moment Amon made his move, he was helping Amon by shielding him from external perception to prevent him from being discovered.

That brat only sent one clone, yet he dared to make a move in Xingluo Square. He must be afraid no one will notice.

"Your father has definitely found out about you, so be careful what you do."

Amon smiled and said:
"I did this here so that my father could see it."

"My father didn't stop me, which just means he tacitly approved of my behavior."

"If he disagrees, he only needs to send a message, and I will immediately stop all my actions and return to the sea."

"Moreover, I did not consume the bodies and souls of these seven people; I merely parasitized them."

"After everything is over, I will also help them improve their mental strength as a reward."

"I still want to see why those guys on the Shrek team are so highly regarded by my father."

"Last time was too rushed, and we were unable to force out the full strength of that guy named Bai E."

"I can sense that there is a power within the other person that is completely different from the light."

“Every attempt to steal is interrupted by an unknown force.”

"This time I want to try it openly and honestly, to see what kind of power the other side is hiding."

Adam spoke calmly and without any change in tone:

"If you really want to know, I can tell you."

"This is no secret."

Amon waved his hand and said:
"No need, I still prefer to uncover the secret myself."

Seeing that Amon was determined to do so, Adam stopped trying to persuade him. As long as this guy didn't actually become an evil soul master, he and Huo Yuhao wouldn't interfere and would basically let him develop as he pleased.

Before disappearing, Adam reminded him:

"You've already been caught."

"Roman already knows about your fraudulent activities involving impersonating Mary."

"We are currently researching an alchemy technique to capture your true form and then teach you a lesson."

"Take care of yourself."

Amon said with a smile:

"Could you use your privileges to change my online name again?"

"I want to play with Dr. Roman some more."

"He really has a lot of money. Even if I split it with that guy Meryl, it would have allowed me to buy a bigger ship at sea."

Adam ignored the guy and vanished into thin air.
