The Evil Soul Master is actually myself

Su Ming saw Gu Yuena in the distance hesitate for a moment, then decisively rushed towards the large convoy.

Buzzing~, a silver moon rises, as brilliant as solidified jade, rippling with layers of silver waves that cover the sky, making the blue sky clear as if it had been washed.

"Who!" The people in the caravan became alert. The Soul Masters with cultivation levels all activated their Martial Souls and scattered around. The leader's body swelled up, covered with brownish-gray fur, and his fangs were exposed.

Martial Soul: Dire Wolf.

"Which side are you from? Our little business is nothing to brag about," Soul Sect member shouted warily.

Gu Yuena remained silent, a light frost covering the dozen or so people around her, freezing them in place, their horrified faces frozen in place.

She knew that this caravan was probably not related to the Sun Moon Empire, so she didn't make things too difficult for them.

A girl dressed in black approached the horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods and searched through them.

Su Ming was a little confused. Did they succeed so easily?

He nervously glanced around, releasing his [Negative Emotion Perception], fearing that several level-seven Soul Masters might suddenly appear from somewhere and kill Gu Yuena on the spot.

Gu Yuena took out a ring from a bag of grains and probed it with her spiritual power, discovering that the Snow Emperor's embryo was quietly inside.

Her face lit up with joy, and she was about to take out the Snow Emperor's embryo from the spatial soul tool.

The next moment, a strong spatial fluctuation emanated from the prestigious ring, its azure light shining brightly and illuminating the void.

Gu Yuena's expression changed drastically, but it was too late. A flash of silver light appeared, and the Snow Emperor embryo inside the ring was teleported away. Then, the ring, which was decorated with jade patterns, expanded, brewing a vast and violent energy.

The silver-haired girl threw it forcefully into the sky, causing wind elements to surge and form a spring of air that sent it soaring into the heavens.

Rumble!

A deafening roar shook the world. A blazing, blood-red sun hung in the sky, unleashing a torrent of air mixed with flames that swept across the land. Terrifying heat burned weeds and parched the earth, while a surge of energy tore through space.

Fortunately, Gu Yuena reacted very quickly. She fell to the ground, and the dozen or so people around her were only thrown away by the shockwave and seriously injured by the impact.

Su Ming stared at the crimson sun that lingered in the sky for a long time, swallowed hard, and thought that this was at least as powerful as a Soul Saint's full-force attack.

Gu Yuena staggered to her feet, her pretty face blank. In her perception, the Snow Emperor's embryo was already far away, in the opposite direction.

"Tell me, where are you planning to take these goods?" she asked angrily, stepping up to the caravan leader and grabbing him.

"Cough cough, I really didn't know there were such dangerous things in the cargo. This shipment was destined for the Sun Moon Empire," the leader of the Soul Sect said painfully. Several carriages around him were overturned by the strong airflow, and their cargo was scattered all over the ground.

Gu Yuena put down the middle-aged man, feeling aggrieved and furious.

The girl stood there for a long time, and finally sighed. It was too late to turn back and chase after her. The fate of the Snow Empress was sealed, and she could not save her.

At most, she will kill any humans who are tainted by her aura in the future to avenge her grudge.

Su Ming had already seen through the Sun Moon Empire's plan and couldn't help but marvel.

By using a series of nested dolls to conceal the actual transport of goods, those secret battlefields were merely bait thrown out to attract everyone's attention. The unscrupulous Soul Masters believed that the Snow Emperor's embryo was in these few 'open' teams.

In reality, the Sun Moon Empire never considered having its own people escort it. Instead, it simply placed the Snow Emperor's embryo into a few caravans heading to the Sun Moon Empire. These caravans had absolutely no connection to it.

As for unexpected events along the way, or if they are unfortunately found by someone, that is something to worry about. The scene just now shows that the Sun Moon Empire is fully prepared.

As expected, each ring is a level seven soul tool, possessing functions such as location tracking, teleportation, and self-destruction.

It's unclear how many rings were scattered, but the cost was certainly high.

Su Ming emerged from the darkness, marveling at the grandeur of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Who?" Gu Yuena looked warily at the tall figure approaching, then recognized the person from the 'element' emanating from them—the aura was all too familiar…

"Su Ming, what are you doing here? Following me? You clearly have ulterior motives," she snapped.

The boy wasn't surprised that his identity had been exposed. He shrugged and said sincerely, "I don't need a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo."

He himself is about to possess twin god-level martial souls, but he hasn't even fully studied his own, so he looks down on martial souls like the Ice and Snow Maiden.

Gu Yuena's expression softened slightly, and she decided to believe him for the time being. Judging from their daily interactions, Su Ming disdained to lie.

"And you don't need to worry. This 100,000-year-old embryonic Sun and Moon Empire will only be used by people with potential. I estimate it won't be used for a while," Su Ming comforted him.

"How did you know?" the girl asked, frowning.

Su Ming was speechless. He knew that the Snow Emperor's embryo would only be left to Xiao Hongchen, and even the money for it was paid by Xiao Hongchen himself.

He suddenly had a bold idea, and looking at Gu Yuena with interest, he said, "How about it? I'll make a bet with you."

"What kind of bet?" Gu Yuena became slightly wary.

"If I help you retrieve the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo from the Sun Moon Empire within three years, then you'll agree to join my forces, how about that?" Su Ming tempted him like a child abductor.

"Anyway, you're just after that 100,000-year-old soul bone and soul ring. It's not expensive to sell yourself for that, is it?" he teased.

Gu Yuena was about to retort, but then she remembered that Su Ming didn't know her identity, so she didn't speak. She felt a lump in her throat and a vague sense of estrangement rose up in her heart.

Looking at the silver-haired girl's silent and obedient appearance, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right. Be a good girl and come back with me. Let's win a championship first."

Gu Yuena kicked out with her long, straight leg, angrily saying, "Get lost! I can win the championship without you."

Su Ming dodged the attack, whistled happily, and headed home.

He'll be at least a Soul Emperor in three years, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to cooperate with Huo Yuhao and seize the Snow Empress's embryo amidst the chaos.

But how did they manage to infiltrate the exchange student group with Mingde Hall?

This reckless fellow who knows absolutely nothing about soul tools will probably have to rely on his status as a top-notch henchman to get in.

The two slipped back to the hotel, but unfortunately, they didn't have much time left; there were only three or four hours left before dawn.

Su Ming and Xiao Tian got up in no time. Both of them were superhuman beings with amazing recovery abilities and full of energy. There was no sign of them staying up all night.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Yan said casually, "This round of the competition is against the Douling Royal Academy, which focuses on the Soul Master field. All members are at least Soul Kings, but none are Soul Emperors."

Su Ming asked earnestly, "Is there anything I should be careful about?"

After all, he had boasted that he would win the championship. If he failed, it would be a huge loss of face. Shrek Academy hadn't sent anyone over for so long, and it seemed like they were just using the Soul Fighting Tournament as a whetstone for them.

Wang Yan thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing particularly noteworthy. I don't know if the Martial Soul Fusion Technique is available, but their captain has a very strange Soul Skill. We can't see the specific effects yet, but it has a guaranteed hit attribute."

"Just be careful," he cautioned.

Chapter 175 Advancing to the Semifinals

"Please welcome Shrek Academy and the Royal Academy of Fighting Spirits to the stage," the referee announced.

Su Ming led the way, and the rest of the group went on stage one after another. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi needed to rest, and Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong were still unconscious. So, for now, only Su Ming, Gu Yuena, Jiang Nannan, Dai Huafu, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, ​​and Xie Huanyue were on stage.

The seven people unleashed their martial spirits; except for one with a five-ring spirit, the others were all around four or three rings.

However, no one from the Douling Royal Academy dared to underestimate them.

Everyone in the Soul Fighting Tournament knows that Shrek Academy is not doing well. First, there's Su Ming's incredible combat power, and then there's Gu Yuena leading the team into the top eight. Neither of them can be dealt with, and they also have a Soul Fusion Skill.

"Purple Bamboo." Dugu Yue held a purple bamboo sword in her hand. It was hard and shone with a warm, jade-like metallic luster.

He said this solemnly to Su Ming.

The six members of the Fighting Spirit Team also acquired their own martial souls. Each of their martial souls was of a high level, exuding an air of nobility. Moreover, their martial souls were diverse and completely different from those of other academies.

Ordinary Soul Master academies only have one or two noble sects as their elite students, so the teammates in the competition are often fixed. It is common for two or three team members to be related or have the same martial soul, which makes the competition less competitive.

The Royal Academy of Spirit Fighting is different. They attract outstanding talents from all over the empire, making the competition fierce. Therefore, everyone's martial spirit and soul skills are top-notch.

Roar!

The first to launch the attack was a tall, burly young man beside Lonely Moon. His palms were swollen several times their normal size, and his dark golden hair shone brightly, fluttering in the wind, exuding a majestic and domineering aura.

The Terrorclaw Bear Martial Soul is said to be related to the top-tier ferocious beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and its power ranks among the top of bear-type Martial Souls.

Su Mingsheng became interested. He stood in front of the crowd, without using his martial spirit, and extended a fair and slender hand to collide with the dark golden bear paw.

The audience gasped in surprise at the asymmetrical scene.

"Why isn't he using his Martial Soul?!"

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted as their palms collided, and the immense divine power stirred up gusts of air that surged in all directions. Su Ming had actually withstood the attack of a top-tier offensive Soul King with his human body.

Enraged, Zhao Xiong activated his second and third soul skills. First, a layer of dark golden light covered his entire body, and then a pair of bear paws suddenly shot out sharp blades. His entire body was golden and radiant, existing in the form of energy, and rippling slightly.

He lunged at Su Ming's head, while behind him, Lonely Moon focused his energy, his noble purple longsword hovering in the air. A streak of purple light flashed in the void as the sword came from the west, sweeping up a vast and mighty purple rainbow, drawing an arc, and slashing towards Su Ming's heart from behind.

clang!

A clanging metallic sound rang out, or rather, two loud bangs overlapped.

Gu Yuena, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear, helped Su Ming block the magnificent and noble Purple Gold Holy Sword.

Zhao Xiong forced Su Ming to unleash his martial spirit, and a dark black coating covered his entire body. He slightly turned his head, and a huge dark gold palm blade struck his shoulder with a clanging sound, drawing a series of sparks, as if striking the hardest metal in the world.

At the same time, Zhao Xiong grunted and stepped back, five bloody claw marks appearing on his shoulder in the same spot.

The second soul skill, [Wind and Thunder Evil God Body], reflects 25% of the damage.

The battle was about to break out. The other five members of Douling Academy used their respective skills to rush towards Dai Huafu and his group of five. They knew that their captain and vice-captain could not stop the two for long.

Only if they can defeat the others before they fall will the Fighting Spirit Academy have a sliver of hope of victory.

Dai Huafu's face darkened at this; his proud nature made him unable to tolerate being looked down upon.

Most importantly, while casually dealing with Zhao Xiong, Su Ming encouraged him in a sarcastic tone, saying, "Little Dai Dai, how much do they look down on you? You're only at a 90% discount level."

The fire successfully flared up.

Dai Huafu glanced at Zhu Lu beside him and sneered, "Let me show you what a yyds is!"

The two held hands, each radiating a dazzling light. Dai Huabin's entire body turned pale and crystalline, like a crystal of light; he became light. Zhu Lu beside him shone with a black metallic luster, deep and illusory, like a black hole.

Black and white beams of light shot into the sky, casting a shadow over the earth. The heavens shone brilliantly, light and darkness intertwined, and a supreme and violent aura surged forth.

Ripples spread across the air, as if infected by a violent atmosphere. In the endless, brilliant black and white, a huge outline emerged, like a divine beast. A powerful airflow swept through, stirring up a huge uproar.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Netherworld White Tiger!

Ning Tian's amplification arrived just in time. Three beams of dazzling light descended upon the black and white winged giant tiger, causing its aura to swell once more, and a noble and domineering pressure enveloped the entire area.

Taking a moment to catch his breath, Zhao Xiong glanced at it and nearly ground his teeth to dust. "Damn it, is the Martial Soul Fusion Skill just a common thing?"

There was already a group in the previous match, and now another one is coming, and judging from their momentum and fighting strength, they are even stronger than the Soul Emperor.

Even if it's just a Soul Emperor for a dozen seconds, with the help of Su Ming and Gu Yuena, it's enough to secure victory.
