Devouring Martial Souls Again

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crackle! Crackle!

The attacks of the other four Fallen Ones swiftly landed on Mu Ge.

Yet, to the utter disbelief of the Fallen One Mu Ge had killed, their attacks seemed to be blocked by a layer of something after striking Mu Ge. Though they had hit him, they caused him very little damage.

"Impossible..."

Filled with unwillingness, the Fallen One Mu Ge had killed finally lost consciousness completely.

"How could this be..."

The four Fallen Ones whose attacks had struck Mu Ge were equally incredulous. None of them had expected their attacks to cause so little damage after landing on him.

They finally understood why Mu Ge had expended so much Soul Power to gather so much lightning around his body. It was to strengthen his defense.

Though they did not know why lightning could strengthen one's defense, the evidence was right before them. They did not bother wondering why; they only knew that the lightning around Mu Ge had indeed given him formidable protection.

"Kill him! Maintaining that state must consume a massive amount of Soul Power. I refuse to believe he can keep it up forever!"

Though shocked, the remaining four Fallen Ones immediately made the right choice and launched a fierce assault against Mu Ge.

The weapons in their hands struck toward Mu Ge once more.

Whoosh—

But Mu Ge no longer needed to take the attacks head-on. With a flash, he dodged them directly.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Mu Ge pull away from them again, the remaining few were furious, yet there was nothing they could do to him.

They could only helplessly gather together back-to-back once again.

However, they had already proven that such a response was useless against Mu Ge.

Boom—

Splat!

Splat!

Thus, in the end, the remaining few were still slaughtered by Mu Ge one after another.

"The winner of this Hell Slaughter Arena match is contestant No. 6018! Congratulations to contestant No. 6018 for achieving two consecutive victories!"

As the host's voice fell, this Hell Slaughter Arena match came to an end.

Standing within the Hell Slaughter Arena, Mu Ge silently absorbed the Soul Power of the other nine defeated contestants.

Thinking of something, Mu Ge allowed the Hell Slaughter Arena beneath his feet to send Soul Power into him as he walked toward one of the corpses.

Even as he moved, the Soul Power absorbed by the Hell Slaughter Arena was delivered precisely to Mu Ge. It was truly miraculous.

After arriving before the corpse, Mu Ge placed his right hand over the man's chest and used the Simulator's devouring ability.

Buzz—

The other man's martial soul gradually began to be absorbed by Mu Ge.

"What is he doing?"

"Can't tell, but it looks like he's devouring something. Does the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon also have a devouring ability?"

"There's no need to devour Soul Power yourself. After an enemy dies, it's automatically absorbed by the victor. Isn't that completely unnecessary..."

"..."

Mu Ge's actions left the spectators puzzled, but they did not pay much attention to it.

Among the Fallen Ones who entered Slaughter City, those whose martial souls could devour others' Soul Power were rare, but not unheard of.

Back when they were outside, they had often envied soul masters with such martial soul abilities.

As for whether it was evil or whether it turned one into a Fallen One, they did not care in the slightest.

If there was a shortcut to becoming stronger quickly, so what if they became Fallen Ones?

Spirit Hall was simply meddling too much by refusing to allow soul masters with devouring abilities to devour others' Soul Power.

Outside, they had envied those with such martial soul abilities. But after entering Slaughter City, that envy had faded considerably.

Because as long as they defeated their enemies in the Hell Slaughter Arena, they too could devour other people's Soul Power.

"What is he doing?"

Bibi Dong watched Mu Ge's actions and guessed in confusion.

But since she did not know Mu Ge's martial soul, she naturally could not figure anything out.

"That arrogant bastard really is strong. He poses a certain threat to me!"

"It would be best to avoid him in the upcoming Hell Slaughter Arena matches!"

Unable to guess the reason, Bibi Dong stopped trying. She merely frowned inwardly as she watched Mu Ge's figure.

Though she was reluctant to admit it, Bibi Dong could see that Mu Ge truly had the right to be arrogant. She was not very confident that she could defeat him in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling and stifled she felt, Bibi Dong still believed it would be better not to clash with Mu Ge head-on in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

"Or perhaps I can find a way to test him outside the Hell Slaughter Arena. Otherwise, if I have to avoid this guy every time I enter the Hell Slaughter Arena, it'll waste far too much time..."

Cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. She did not want to remain in Slaughter City for too long.

She only wanted to clear Slaughter City as quickly as possible and grow stronger in the shortest time possible. Only by becoming powerful sooner could she take revenge sooner.

From the moment Mu Ge had asked her to deliberately avoid entering the same Hell Slaughter Arena match as him, she had understood that he likely had the same goal as her: clearing Slaughter City as quickly as possible.

There were only so many people participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and it was normal for matches to open only once every few days. If one more person kept entering consecutive matches, it would take her twice as long to achieve a hundred consecutive victories.

Bibi Dong was unwilling to tolerate that. Therefore, the best solution was to kill Mu Ge.

She had no psychological reservations about it. No one who could enter Slaughter City was a good person.

"He should have used up quite a bit of Soul Power in that battle just now, right?"

"Although he absorbed quite a lot afterward through the Hell Slaughter Arena, there's something wrong with this place. And the Soul Power devoured through the Hell Slaughter Arena has to be refined before it can be used, so in the short term, it's basically as good as unavailable..."

Looking at Mu Ge in the Hell Slaughter Arena, Bibi Dong weighed her options inwardly.

Mu Ge had no way of knowing what Bibi Dong was thinking. After devouring one of the dead man's martial souls, all the corpses in the Hell Slaughter Arena disintegrated and vanished at once.

"What a pity. I only devoured one martial soul!"

Mu Ge found that regrettable. It would have been even better if he could devour more martial souls.

Mu Ge had not devoured the other man's martial soul because he fancied it. It was merely a low-quality martial soul.

He had chosen to devour it only to increase the Simulator's number of simulations.

An increased number of simulations would help Mu Ge better understand martial souls, which would aid him when using the Simulator.

It was like accumulating knowledge. Only after building up enough basic knowledge could one learn more difficult knowledge more quickly.

Mu Ge had seen much and understood plenty of knowledge that people in this world did not.

But martial souls did not follow science. By devouring them and then simulating them, Mu Ge could more quickly gain a deeper understanding of martial souls.
