The black light expanded in an instant, engulfing the elemental storm and then rapidly spreading towards the ground, covering the area where they were.

“Dark Water.” A faint voice rang out from the black storm, and then a figure emerged from it—it was Cai Xukun.

"This is troublesome!" Tang Wulin smiled bitterly. Judging from the other party's appearance, they obviously hadn't gotten serious yet, but they had already used almost all their methods.

Moreover, the darkness that enveloped the ground was clearly strange; Tang Wulin could clearly feel his soul power and blood energy being slowly absorbed.

"Wow!"

The water sphere covering Xu Lizhi's head began to shatter, revealing Xu Lizhi lying on the ground with a flushed face and a purplish tinge, clearly unconscious due to lack of oxygen.

"The outcome is decided. Will you surrender or resist stubbornly?" Looking at the three men with grim faces, Cai Xukun declared the victor's declaration.

Meanwhile, he also took a moment to check his live stream, only to find the comments section was in an uproar.

From the very beginning when Tang Wulin and the others appeared

Wow, these kids are so handsome!

"Streamer, just agree to fight them. They don't look that old anyway."

When Tang Wulin and others attacked him in the middle of the period,

"Holy crap, a three-ring Soul Master, whose child is this?"

"Damn, the streamer is bleeding! These kids really wanted to kill him!"

"Run, streamer! Go ask the Spirit Pagoda behind you for help!"

And finally,

"Holy crap, streamer, you're actually a Soul King! And what's with this Soul Ring setup?!"

"Huh? The anchor's guess makes sense. If the attackers really are these kids, it's easy to let your guard down."

"What guess? They clearly intended to kill you just now. If the streamer hadn't been so powerful, they would have definitely taken him down. In my opinion, these kids are definitely evil spirit masters."

"That's right, that's right. Announcer, arrest them quickly and send them to the police station. It's hard to guarantee that there's some kind of mastermind behind these kids who would do something like this. Otherwise, why would they dare to attack others so openly?"

Chapter 242 Frame-up and Sneak Attack

Looking at these comments, Cai Xukun's lips curled up; public opinion was developing in the direction he wanted.

Indeed, relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else; online trolls are the most useful.

"You guys..." Cai Xukun was about to say something as he walked towards Tang Wulin and the others. Just then, a piercing alarm sounded, and three figures were flying towards them from not far away.

There were three mechs, but all three were yellow; there were no purple-level mechs among them.

"Stop!" came a loud shout from the electronic voice.

"I've got an idea!" Tang Wulin's eyes lit up as he watched the three mechs approach. A plan immediately came to him, and his expression changed, his face filled with grief and indignation.

Three mechs descended from the sky, their massive, ten-meter-tall yellow standard-issue bodies instantly separating the two sides.

Tang Wulin straightened his chest, pulled Gu Yue behind him, and his face showed even more grief and indignation.

"Enforcers, you've come at the right time! Please save us! If you had arrived any later, we would have been killed by him."

An electronic voice came from inside the mecha, "What exactly happened? Why did you attack these teenagers? An unknown Soul King?"

Although Cai Xukun had rested at the Spirit Transmission Tower here, he had not greeted the law enforcement officers here. After all, he would only stay here for one or two nights, so these law enforcement officers obviously did not recognize him.

"Don't listen to their false accusations. They were the ones who attacked me first," Cai Xukun retorted. Since Tang Wulin and the others wanted to play this game, he would naturally play along.

Tang Wulin blinked his beautiful big eyes, his face filled with horror, and said, "W-what did you say? We attacked you? You are a five-ring Soul King, and you have such a terrifying Soul Ring configuration!"

"We're just a few lowly Soul Masters, Uncle Enforcer. I'm fourteen years old, and the youngest of my companions is only thirteen. Do you think we dare to fight a Soul King with five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings?"

Cai Xukun sneered and said, "You're spouting nonsense. You were the one who attacked me first. At that time, you didn't know I was a Soul King. We didn't even know each other."

Tang Wulin replied without hesitation, "We don't know you, so why would we attack you? I clearly heard you say that you were about to become a Soul Emperor and wanted to find someone to test your skills. Then when you saw us, you suddenly slapped me, and we had no choice but to defend ourselves."

Several of my companions were injured by you. My teacher taught us that with great power comes great responsibility, yet you, as the fifty-ninth Soul King, bully the weak. You bully us children, and you still have the nerve to distort the truth?

Both sides had their own version of events, and the law enforcement officers were somewhat taken aback, but without a doubt, all three officers subconsciously sided with Tang Wulin and his group.

This is the advantage of being young; by all accounts, they don't seem like the type to actively provoke a level 59 Soul King. Moreover, Xu Lizhi and Xie Xie are still unconscious, which makes Tang Wulin's explanation even more convincing.

"You will all come back to the Spirit Pagoda with us to retrieve the surveillance footage and then determine the truth," the leading law enforcement officer said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Tang Wulin agreed without hesitation.

“No problem.” Cai Xukun replied without hesitation. He was curious to see how Tang Wulin and the others would escape. With that, he put away his spirit ring and turned to walk towards the Spirit Pagoda.

"This is troublesome." Tang Wulin thought to himself. He had originally wanted to see if he could provoke the Soul King and cause a conflict between him and the law enforcement team, so that they could take advantage of the chaos. However, he did not expect the other party to be so calm.

On the way to the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin used the excuse that Xu Lizhi and Xie Xie were unconscious to delay as much as possible, while his brain was working frantically to come up with a way to break the deadlock.

As for going to the Spirit Pagoda for a confrontation, that's absolutely impossible. They were the ones who started this whole thing, and if they were to actually go for a confrontation, they would definitely be detained by the Spirit Pagoda.

Whether they can even finish their final exams is a question. If they are sent back to the college because of this, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

"Cough cough!"

Just then, a cough rang out, and Tang Wulin's face lit up with joy. Xu Lizhi had woken up, which reduced their burden. Moreover, with the steamed buns from Xu Lizhi, their chances of escape had greatly increased.

"Lizhi, give me a red bean bun." Tang Wulin carried Xu Lizhi on his left arm and grabbed Xie Xie with his right, whispering. At the same time, he gave Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan a look, and the two girls immediately understood.

Xu Lizhi reacted quickly, immediately starting to quietly make red bean buns, and then handed them to Tang Wulin.

Because Tang Wulin and his companions were positioned at the back, and the attention of the three mecha pilots was focused on Cai Xukun, no one noticed their subtle movements.

"Do it!" Tang Wulin suddenly shouted, handed Xie Xie in his right hand to Xu Lizhi, and then swallowed the red bean bun in one gulp.

After receiving Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi immediately took off running, not forgetting to toss two steamed buns to Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan before leaving.

Tang Wulin's body shimmered with golden light, a golden halo emanating from him—the Golden Dragon Body! His blood and qi surged in reverse, the Golden Dragon awe-inspiring!

A resounding dragon roar echoed in the air, and streaks of starlight flickered on the golden dragon claw. Instantly, a gigantic dragon head seemed to materialize in front of Tang Wulin's right golden dragon claw, shimmering with golden light, and slammed down fiercely.

The second to make a move was Ye Xinglan. Her Star God Sword shone brilliantly; the Sword God Star, her body and sword as one, was her first soul skill. She aimed directly for the cockpit.

Gu Yue made a circle and a gesture in the air, and three huge fireballs flew towards the three yellow mechs.

The three mechs in front were clearly caught off guard by the sudden attack by these teenagers. Two of them had their power sources cut off and were subsequently paralyzed.

The third yellow mech promptly deployed its protective shield. The mech crouched down, using its light shield to protect its entire body and block Gu Yue's fireball. In its other hand, it pulled out a four-barreled soul-guided ray cannon, ready to take aim.

However, it was attacked from both sides by Tang Wulin and Ye Xinglan. The golden dragon claw slashed across, and the arm holding the soul guide ray cannon was severed. Then, the sword light flashed, and this mecha followed in the footsteps of the previous two mechas.

After doing all this, Tang Wulin and Ye Xinglan took off running. Putting aside the law enforcement officers who would be attracted later, there was already a Soul King here whom they had offended terribly.

If we don't run now, when will we?

Chapter 243 The chicken's feet are showing, aren't they?

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out behind Tang Wulin and the others. Upon hearing this voice, Tang Wulin and the others noticeably increased their running speed.

Cai Xukun watched Tang Wulin and his companions disappear from sight, unconcerned. He was certain they couldn't escape his grasp. Following their attack on innocent soul masters, Tang Wulin and his group had even attacked the Spirit Pagoda's enforcement team.

All of this was clearly recorded by cameras and broadcast live to residents throughout the Federation. Now, he can stand on the moral high ground and punish Tang Wulin and the others.

Using his mental power to sense the situation, he was certain that his livestream was experiencing a surge in viewership, with comments flooding in. Simultaneously, his online trolls were also ramping up their efforts, educating viewers about the misdeeds of Tang Wulin and his group.

"Damn it, what's wrong with these kids? They're actually accusing the other way around. They attacked the streamer first, but now they're twisting the truth and framing the streamer."

"That's right. A child in his teens already has such cunning. When he grows up, he will either be a wise fool or a great villain."

After Tang Wulin and the others ran away, the live stream chat exploded.

"Damn, these kids are so skilled at ambushing others. Now I really think the streamer's previous guess was reasonable. Could the attack on the Tianling City garrison really have been done by these kids?!"

"That's right, you can't judge a book by its cover. I thought these kids might have some kind of trouble. But now, attacking innocent Soul Masters, framing others, and now even ambushing law enforcement officers, could they really be evil Soul Masters?"

"I just entered this live stream. Can someone explain to me why I saw people from the Spirit Pagoda being beaten as soon as I arrived? Who are those kids?"

"Upstairs, let me explain in detail..."

Seeing these comments, Cai Xukun nodded; his goal was pretty much achieved. However, the most important thing now was to capture Tang Wulin and the others who had escaped.

Thinking of this, Cai Xukun's five spirit rings appeared, with the fourth ten-thousand-year spirit ring flashing.

Fourth Soul Skill: Kunkun Meteor Shower.

The next moment, countless black water spheres condensed and hurled towards Tang Wulin and his companions.

"!!!"

Without turning around, Tang Wulin and his companions could feel the terrifying energy fluctuations above and behind them. What grudge could they possibly have? Was it really necessary to unleash such a powerful attack right away?

Fourth Soul Skill: Frost Whisper.

Just then, a cold voice rang out, and then a huge ice sword stood horizontally above Tang Wulin and the others, blocking the incoming black water ball.

"It's Teacher Wu." Tang Wulin's face lit up with joy, but he quickly looked miserable again.

The good news is that Teacher Wu has arrived, which should resolve the issue. However, this also means their challenge in Tianling City has failed, and they'll have to find new opponents.

"Um?!"

As Wu Changkong resisted the black water sphere, his expression hardened. His fourth soul skill, which he used with his Soul Saint-level soul power, was actually starting to show cracks. It was surprising that the fourth soul skill used by a Soul King was so troublesome.

Fifth Soul Skill: Frosty Whisper Ice Wheel.
