The Evil Soul Master is actually myself

Before the two teams entered the arena, the wide, white arena suddenly changed. The sound of mechanical gears turning roared, and after a series of changes, the arena transformed into a mountainous terrain with some small hills protruding and the ground turning dark brown, barren and rigid.

Neither teammate panicked. This is a new change in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament: starting from the knockout stage, the terrain will be randomly selected.

Such unexpectedness not only increases the excitement of the game, but also tests the adaptability of young people.

It encompasses various terrains, including oceans, forests, mountains, and skies. After all, some martial spirits can unleash their power many times over when amplified by specific terrains, and making good use of obstacles within the terrain can even lead to a considerable chance of turning the tide of battle.

It is said that this idea was proposed by a young upstart from the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce. After a series of investigations by the Star Luo Empire, it was happily implemented, and the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce also became a shareholder in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

Of course, this didn't matter to Shrek Academy, as they had a Silver Dragon King suitable for all terrains.

A fierce battle ensued.

Although Shrek Academy was lagging behind in cultivation level, they managed to defeat Douling Academy with great difficulty thanks to the two exceptionally talented geniuses, Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong, as well as a group of teammates who employed all sorts of unconventional methods.

The most thrilling of all was when the entire Soul Master team carried an Invincible Golden Body Soul Guidance Device, granting each person three seconds of invincibility – it was as if they had "I'm cheating" written all over their faces.

However, when Gu Yuena took out a long and exquisite silver dragon spear, all the soul tools were no match for it. Even the noble artifact that could absorb primordial energy and the invincible golden body were easily torn apart.

Energy and creation both belong to the Silver Dragon King's domain.

Before Su Ming left, just in case, he returned the Silver Dragon Spear to Gu Yuena, in exchange for her teaching him the soul techniques that Su Ming could learn.

They also extorted two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.

The cost was incredibly low, and Su Ming had no choice. The Silver Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon Spear were essentially the same; aside from the direct bloodlines of the two Dragon Kings, humans couldn't use them at all. (Ahem, that's how the Golden Dragon Spear was initially designed, but later anyone could use it.)

Shrek Academy won the team battle, but at the cost of Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao being weak for three days, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi activating their divine beast bloodlines, and Xiao being supported by the Silver Dragon King. They also couldn't use their martial souls for a day.

The schedule was tight, and the individual competition was held immediately on the second day.

The brutality of the Soul Fighting Tournament was thus revealed. All teams were strong and their strengths were very similar, so there was no mercy involved. The defeated Soul Fighting Instructor Academy fared even worse, with one person dead and two seriously injured.

Gu Yuena won the singles competition effortlessly.

Shrek has thus advanced to the quarterfinals.

the next day.

Wang Yan rushed into the hotel's restaurant and shouted, "A message has come from the border of the Star Luo Empire. It turns out that an evil soul master attacked Su Ming. He is safe and sound and will arrive in the capital soon."

“He’s back, your core.” His eyes were filled with boundless joy.

In the quiet and luxurious restaurant, there was a moment of silence as the Shrek members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then someone scoffed.

Everyone seemed to come alive, each doing their own thing.

Su Ming? Who's that? Don't know him?

Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction, feeling that her 'training' over the past few days had been effective.

Now, she is the only one who can truly lead the Shrek team.

As for Su Ming, he just makes a living by delivering takeout.

Wang Yan was astonished by this scene. He asked curiously, "Aren't you happy that your partner has returned? With Su Ming around, the pressure in the quarterfinals will be much less."

Xu Sanshi glanced at Gu Yuena secretly, and was so frightened by her unintentional glance that he was scared out of his wits. Filled with grief and indignation, he put on a fake expression and said disdainfully, "Who is Su Ming? We can win with or without him."

The silver-haired, purple-eyed girl nodded in satisfaction.

Wang Yan was confused, but then he smiled and said, "There's more good news. The academy has given me another sum of money. After Su Ming comes back tonight, we'll go to the auction house and equip you guys properly."

"When I come across something that suits me, I'll just buy it. I, Wang Yan, will pay for it," he said confidently.

"An invincible golden body shield soul tool, right? If other academies have it, our academy must have it too." Wang Yan made up his mind.

Because Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear is specifically designed to counter energy-type shields, this combination of addition and subtraction creates a significant difference in effectiveness.

How can you lose when a dragon charges right at your face?!

the other side

The three were rushing to Xingluo City. One was a blonde woman with a pair of soft, white wings on her back, exuding a sacred and noble aura. The other was a red-haired woman with magnificent, layered, blood-red wings, exuding a charming and gentle aura.

The remaining youth, with his sky-covering, purplish-blue dragon scale wings flapping behind him, stirred up a fierce storm, as if the clouds in the sky were all contributing to its propulsion.

He suddenly sneezed and muttered, "Could it be that my lovely teammates miss me?"

Su Xuan'er glanced at her younger brother and said irritably, "Come on, it's a good thing Shrek Academy won, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing to go home in the round of 16."

Su Ming said speechlessly, "I suspect you're alluding to certain teams?"

Su Xuan'er was puzzled, but her younger brother also said some strange things from time to time, so she ignored him.

She turned her head and said gently to Yu Mengdi, "What are your plans? As an angelic martial soul possessor, you will have to face evil soul masters sooner or later. Following us now can protect you for a while, but not forever."

Su Xuan'er said solemnly, "Why don't you join us after you graduate from Zhengtian Academy? We have methods to improve you."

Yu Mengdi sighed deeply. She knew very well that staying at Zhengtian Academy would only harm her alma mater. Just a few days ago, a Soul Douluo and two Soul Saint-level evil Soul Masters were forces that ordinary forces could not match.

What's more, that group also killed some of her classmates, as well as her respected vice principal.

Regardless, the fate between Yu Mengdi and the evil spirit master was already sealed.

Seeing the blonde woman hesitate, Su Ming pressed on, saying, "You really have the foundation to become a god. As far as I know, although the Angel God has fallen, the remaining holy marks are still part of the world cycle."

"One day you will reunite with destiny and attain godhood!"

Yu Mengdi didn't object; since she didn't have anywhere else to go, she might as well stick with Su Ming for the time being.

She nodded in agreement.

Fate is so unpredictable; the angelic martial spirit master and the evil god's cub ended up together and happily decided to betray the evil spirit master.

The three began to fly in the sky, and soon a vague, magnificent city appeared in the distance.

Su Ming looked out and said happily, "We're almost at our destination."

Chapter 172 Peeping

"I'm back." Su Ming walked into the conference room with a bright smile.

He had already sensed the excitement of the crowd, their savior, and their firm commitment to making him their leader.

result……

Everyone glanced back at him, not even bothering to say "oh," before turning back to their own tasks—some lost in thought, others chatting.

Su Ming's face immediately froze. What was going on? Did his friends not welcome him?

Just then, a familiar sneer came from the side.

When the silver-haired girl saw him looking over, she raised her snow-white chin and said arrogantly, "Times have changed, Su Ming. Shrek Academy is now in my hands. We can win even without you."

Su Ming was stunned. Looking at Gu Yuena in front of him, he suddenly understood.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days away, someone was already eager to take over. What's even more tragic is that all the second-in-commands betrayed him.

Su Ming was exhausted. Having a "Little Dragon Girl" in the team was like a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel. She'd set a bad example, and it seemed like the first rectification campaign might be necessary.

The young man smiled kindly and said, "It seems I haven't been giving you enough training. You're all itching to take over."

"Gu Yuena, as the temporary captain and second core, set an example. Let's practice together." Su Ming looked at the beautiful girl sincerely, as if he genuinely wanted to guide his teammate and build a harmonious team relationship.

Gu Yuena's face stiffened, then she mustered her courage and said stiffly, "Come on then, who's afraid of who?"

When the two were at odds, the surrounding crowd would bring out small stools, crack sunflower seeds, and come to watch the show, practically ready to cheer them on.

Who knows how badly Tang Wutong has been beaten these past few days? While others were being beaten at a normal level during the same sparring session, it was as if she was being targeted, and Xiaolongnu seemed to be grinding her into the ground.

Among everyone, Tang Wutong probably wanted Gu Yuena to get a beating the most.

Su Ming glanced at the crowd expressionlessly. These opportunists had no loyalty to their leader whatsoever.

"Hmm? What's going on here, everyone?" A graceful figure appeared outside the door. A mature and elegant woman walked in, her figure soft and beautiful. She was surprised to see the tense atmosphere in the meeting room and asked in confusion.

The savior has come.

Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief. If she really fought Su Ming, she would definitely be taught a lesson. She was only at the fourth ring level, far from being a match for Su Ming.

The silver-haired girl stepped forward with a smile and took Su Xuan'er's arm, saying, "It's nothing, Sister Xuan'er, it was just a little argument."

"Is that so?" Su Xuan'er looked at Su Ming with a half-smile.

Gu Yuena looked obedient and sensibly moved a chair for her older sister to sit down.

Su Ming was speechless. The girl had become quite familiar with his older sister over this period of time, and he was too embarrassed to make a move on her in front of her.

Everyone was joking, but he was secretly planning to find a time to spank Gu Yuena.

Wang Yan walked in at this moment, smiling broadly as he handed out invitations to the Starlight Auction House to everyone. He said with delight, "Starlight is an auction house directly under the Star Luo Empire's royal family. There are many good things inside, and even treasures of the level of 100,000-year-old soul bones have appeared."

Of course, only the main team members were given invitations, namely Su Ming and the other six. This can be considered one of the perks of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Wang Yan said apologetically to the remaining people, "I'm sorry, the Royal Family only gave us this much."

He Caitou said enviously, "There must be a lot of soul tools in such a top auction house, but unfortunately I can't go."

Su Ming replied indifferently, "Our Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce has some spots available. If you want to go, you can come along. Among the group, you're the most familiar with soul tools."

"Do you want to come along?" he asked, turning to Beibei and the others.

The group readily accepted, intending to broaden their horizons.

Dai Huafu simply snorted arrogantly and said, "I have a ton of these things at home."

"It's getting late." Wang Yan glanced at the time, smiled, and said, "Go change your clothes, let's go in early."

Everyone went back to their rooms to get dressed, and then headed to the auction hall not far from the hotel.

Su Ming seemed uninterested, and her sister didn't even go, which was a bit of a pity, as she wanted to see Su Xuan'er looking beautiful and charming in her dress.

Once he arrived at the auction house, he sat there seemingly lost in thought, but his mind was already focused on Hu Qingping, the undercover agent.

gloomy and shabby basement

An altar stood, upon which was enshrined a sinister sculpture. Hu Qingping had not returned to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, but was recuperating at a stronghold in the Star Luo Empire.

The competition among evil spirit masters is brutal. She is seriously injured right now, and if she goes to the headquarters, she will probably be eaten directly, truly devoured, by consuming her own kind to achieve her own success.

Hu Qingping poured her soul power into the coiled black snake sculpture. A burst of dark light flashed, and two beams of light shot out from the black snake's long, narrow, scarlet eyes, forming a blurry, pale red screen.

This statue, which appears to be a sculpture of an evil god, is actually a soul tool of level seven.
