Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 158 Don't Lower Your Class

The speeches by Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi greatly impressed the participating academy teams.

Yesterday, Mu Yang was attacked by two Soul Saint-level assassins. However, since they were quickly suppressed by Huo Lie and his companion, it did not cause much of a commotion. The participating teams, who did not pay much attention, were naturally unaware that someone had attacked their students yesterday.

The moment Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi revealed this incident, everyone's hearts tightened.

Assassinating a contestant is too despicable. The team leaders, who believed their students were also geniuses, were on high alert to prevent the thief from taking advantage of the situation.

"Brother, who did you say was assassinated? And who's behind it all?"

On the stands, Xiao Wu blinked and asked Tang San with a curious expression.

"It should be either Blazing Fire Academy or Heavenly Water Academy, right? As for the mastermind behind it all, if nothing unexpected happens, it's Salas, who's sitting next to Emperor Snow Night."

Tang San glanced at Mu Yang and said in a low voice.

Tang San understood the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

Given the exceptional talent displayed by Mu Yang, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er, it's understandable that they would be attacked by assassins sent by other forces.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, this can be seen from the fact that both Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi glanced at Salas when they gave their warning speeches, and the fact that the Temple Master of the Heavenly Dou Temple kept a gloomy face and remained silent.

To be honest, Tang San, who was now catching a glimpse of the juicy gossip, couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Mu Yang and the others were not related to him, and they were even more talented than him. Although he wouldn't throw a big banquet to celebrate when they encountered bad luck, he would inevitably enjoy some gossip and have a good laugh.

The match ended, the gossip was over, and the audience began to leave.

There was only one exit from the Great Soul Arena, and with so many spectators leaving, the participating academy teams anticipated that the entrance to the Great Soul Arena would be very crowded. They decided not to leave immediately and planned to wait until it was less crowded before departing.

After all, there are quite a few girls in the participating college teams, so it's not suitable to go out and squeeze with crowds.

At this moment, Flander called the Shrek students to his side and gave them a lecture: "You all heard it just now, an assassin tried to kill the contestants."

While it's possible that others are simply too outstanding, you still have to be wary.

Therefore, during the upcoming competition, except when you are in the academy, you'd better not leave my, Erlong's, or Teacher Zhao's sight, so as not to give others an opportunity to take advantage.

As soon as Flander finished speaking, Ma Hongjun became anxious.

Everyone else could stay put, but he was different! Even with his inner demons burning, he still wanted to help the young ladies escape their misery!

As we all know, these young women who sometimes go hungry and sometimes have a full stomach usually have gambling fathers, sick mothers, and younger brothers who are still in school. If he doesn't help them, who will?

Before Ma Hongjun could speak, Flander added, "Little Fatty, just bear with it. But if you really can't hold back, just tell me, and I'll take you there."

"Huh—"

Immediately, the Shrek Academy members, who knew Ma Hongjun's character well, gave him disdainful looks.

Yes, it's not just for Ma Hongjun, it's also for Flanders.

They weren't naive girls; they knew a thing or two. They didn't believe that Flander, who had been single for decades, could resist taking Ma Hongjun to that place.

At this moment, Dai Mubai stepped forward and patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, saying, "Fatty, listen to your brother's advice. Don't go to brothels anymore, go to a club instead! Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about Dean Flander. Don't lower your standards."

Ma Hongjun: "."

Flanders: "."

Is this some kind of class or not?

After a long while, seeing that most of the spectators in the Great Soul Arena had left, the participating academy teams gradually departed.

Not far from the entrance of the Great Soul Arena, two cardinals from the Heavenly Soul Temple discreetly scrutinized those leaving the arena, searching for traces of their targets.

Before long, the Shrek team emerged from the Great Soul Arena.

Immediately, the two cardinals' eyes lit up. They exchanged a glance, then chatted and laughed, pretending to be nonchalant, ready to launch a surprise attack on Tang San at any moment.

At this moment, Tang San was completely unaware that danger was approaching.

It had been a while since the match ended, and there weren't too many people at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena. As soon as they stepped out of the gate, the Shrek group saw two cardinals of the Spirit Hall dressed in red robes by the roadside not far ahead.

But the Shrek Academy members didn't pay much attention. The Spirit Hall was a co-organizer of the Soul Master Competition, and given the excitement of the competition, it was normal for a cardinal with nothing else to do to come and watch.

Thirty meters. Twenty meters. Ten meters

When the Shrek Seven Devils, who were walking in the middle of the street, were less than ten meters away from the two people standing by the roadside, the two cardinals of the Heavenly Dou Temple made their move.

"Shadow Panther, Possession! Fourth Soul Skill, Panther Shadow Assault!"

"Earth Bear, Possession! Fourth Soul Skill, Bear Claw!"

In an instant, the two cardinals activated their martial spirits and launched their fourth soul skills at the unsuspecting Tang San with lightning speed.

For attack-type soul skills, assuming the user's strength remains constant, the older the user is, the stronger the power will be.

However, the higher the age of the soul skill, the slower the activation speed is compared to the lower age soul skill. Therefore, the two chose to activate the fourth soul skill.

With the strength of a seven-ring Soul Saint, even without any amplifying Soul Skills, the fourth offensive Soul Skill of the best-matched year would be enough to instantly kill a Soul Master who has just entered the fourth ring, not to mention that the two of them were ambushed.

The sudden turn of events startled the Shrek team.

"stop!"

"How dare you!"

"Damn it!"

Flander, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji, who were also seven-ring Soul Saints, reacted the fastest. The moment the two cardinals activated their Martial Souls and launched a sneak attack, they released their Martial Souls while shouting.

However, due to the close proximity and the fact that the three of them were not standing in front of Tang San, the target of the two men's sneak attack, they obviously did not have time to make an effective response.

However, just as the black leopard shadow and the earthen-yellow claw shadow were about to land on Tang San, Xiao Wu, who was standing beside Tang San, moved.

Xiao Wu's reaction speed is also very fast. After all, her long beast life was not wasted, and rabbits are one of the soul beasts with relatively fast reaction speeds.

She sensed something amiss when the two cardinals possessed her spirit. By the time the two unleashed their fourth spirit skill to ambush Tang San, Xiao Wu had already completed her spirit possession.

Just as the two fourth spirit skills were about to hit Tang San, Xiao Wu's fourth spirit ring lit up, and a golden light shone around her. She stepped forward and blocked Tang San between the two attacking spirit skills.
