In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 162 A Lingering Dream of Bygone Years

"Your Highness, what do you think of Shrek Academy?"

"Not bad. I've looked at their information. They're not very old, but they're already Soul Masters. Especially that guy named Tang San, who's a year younger than you, he's also a Soul Grandmaster."

"Uh... of course, I can't compare to a monster like you."

"Well, it's time to decide the winner."

On the Great Soul Arena, all sides of Shrek Academy mobilized, with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing unleashing their Soul Fusion Skill, and all other members joining the fray.

Although it was a bit tough in the end, Shrek Academy still managed a narrow victory.

This is already a very good result. I just don't know if Shrek Academy can make it out of the next round with their fighting strength.

The Heaven Dou Empire has fifteen spots in the finals, and it also has six divisions. Because the Heaven Dou division is the largest, it has five qualifying spots.

If it were the usual system, it would definitely be the Five Elements Academy: Elephant Armor Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Heavenly Water Academy, and Thunder Academy.

These five academies represent the highest combat power besides the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

But this year, something unexpected happened—no, two unexpected things happened.

After Shrek Academy's second round of preliminary matches, and two more matches, it was the turn of the Beast Team Academy. However... it seems that because their reputation was too prominent, the advanced soul master academy they were fighting against directly forfeited.

As for Lin Hai, he left the Great Soul Arena after the Shrek Academy competition.

A Soul Master who doesn't steal other Soul Masters isn't a good Transmigrator.

Tang San's performance was outstanding, and the world of Soul Masters has never lacked treacherous and cunning people.

Lin Hai quietly followed Tang San from a distance.

Lin Hai wasn't sure if this matter had been affected. Would Shi Nian still come? After losing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, would Tang San still be able to forge the "King Yama's Decree," the third-ranked hidden weapon of the Tang Sect?

Lin Hai was determined not to let Shi Nian go. He wasn't afraid of mental power at all; his mental strength had now reached the level of a Soul Douluo. Shi Nian's proud mental illusion attacks posed no threat to Lin Hai.

On the contrary, Shi Nian's fragile body appeared extremely vulnerable in the forest.

Mental-type Soul Masters are indeed strong, but if they encounter someone who counters them, they are also genuinely weak.

……

"As expected, it's here!" Lin Hai looked at Tang San, who was suddenly standing uncontrollably and without any senses in the alley in the distance. Although Shi Nian had not yet come out, he already knew that Tang San must have been affected.

The next moment, Tang San's figure disappeared. Lin Hai knew that Shi Nian must have pulled Tang San into an illusion and used the illusion to shield the surroundings.

Tang San's side...

"As expected of Shrek Academy's most outstanding disciple, your vigilance is indeed strong. It's just a pity that you discovered it too late."

Lin Hai saw an old man in white appear not far in front of Tang San. This man was the dean of Canghui Academy, the Soul Saint of the seventy-second level of the Spirit Department, Shi Nian.

Lin Hai listened quietly to their conversation.

Tang San's heart sank. He quietly gazed at Shi Nian and said, "So you're a teacher from Canghui Academy. May I ask what brings you here?"

Shi Nian smiled calmly and said, "I have nothing to offer, I just need you to disappear."

Lin Hai felt that even if Shi Nian wasn't a Fallen Soul Master, he was close. His Martial Soul, Remnant Dream, could kill without leaving a trace. Moreover, Shi Nian's temperament was also not good.

Tang San coldly replied, "For the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament?"

A cold glint appeared at the corner of Shi Nian's mouth. "Not entirely. It's just that I have a grudge against that owl!"

"I've been looking for an opportunity these past few days, but unfortunately you've been with the other Shrek Academy students, which has prevented me from making a move."

"But I really didn't expect you to give me this opportunity so generously today. It's a real pity, though, that you're not a disciple of my Canghui Academy."

"You're going to kill me."

……

Lin Hai watched as the two people, though not far apart, were talking to thin air. At this moment, he was also taking Shi Nian's Remnant Dream Martial Soul seriously.

Spirit-type martial souls are rare to begin with, and even fewer spirit-type soul masters can grow into powerful ones. The scarcity of spirit-type soul beasts is one of the reasons for this.

Tang San sensed something was wrong, and his Tang Clan disciple's intuition prompted him to act first.

A dozen or so arrows from Zhuge's crossbow pierced through Shi Nian's body, but left no trace of injury.

Seeing Tang San launch an attack in a childish manner, Shi Nian laughed, and this time his smile appeared very arrogant.

"Among your peers, you are undoubtedly very strong. I have never seen a young Soul Master more outstanding than you."

"It's a pity, the gap between you and me cannot be bridged by the so-called title of genius. The weapon in your hand is quite good, but unfortunately, everything you see now, the location of your body, is within the remnant dream I created for you. Even the real scene I just showed you was still an illusion."

"In my lingering dream, I am the master of everything. Don't think that just because you're only level 40, even a Soul Master of the same level as me can escape from my lingering dream."

Most people wouldn't know about the conversation between Shi Nian and Tang San, or the fight scene, but Lin Hai has a plot hole!

His mental power was like a virus, silently breaking through Shi Nian's mental illusion and invading her. Moreover, Lin Hai's method was so superb that Shi Nian did not notice any flaws.

Shi Nian smiled slightly and said, "The greatest pleasure in my life is watching my opponents go mad in my lingering dreams until they die. Soon I will see a young man hailed as a genius turn into this, and I can already feel my excitement."

Lin Hai: Ha, what a pervert! He can't do it himself, yet he wants others to be incapable too.

Shi Nian was here, preparing to quietly torture Tang San. Lin Hai had no intention of intervening. If Tang San could really die at Shi Nian's hands, Lin Hai would be very happy.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang San had a madman titled Douluo behind him, and Lin Hai was worried that killing Tang San would lead to his family suffering fierce retaliation from Tang Hao, he would have taken action long ago.

Lin Hai followed Tang San simply to find Shi Nian, who was alone.

Yes, that's right. Lin Hai did acknowledge Shi Nian's strength, but he, Lin Hai, was not weak in spirit either.

To put it bluntly, in Lin Hai's eyes, Shi Nian was just a little Karami. Once the illusion was broken, Shi Nian couldn't escape Lin Hai's grasp at all. Look, now Lin Hai has effortlessly invaded Shi Nian's mental illusion, which proves that Shi Nian is really no threat to him.

Lin Hai watched the whole show, and his hand unconsciously reached out to pick up the teacup and take a sip, but he found nothing.

I'm currently preparing for an exam; so my pace is slow and less...
