Encountering a Soul Master

Encountering a Soul Master

"Bleurgh!"

Although Ye Han had already seen Zi Xia's incomparably brutal way of killing, and logically speaking, this man's death could already be considered "beautiful."

Ye Han still vomited his guts out.

Zi Xia said, "Hehe, go ahead and puke! Puke all you want! The more you puke, the sooner you'll realize that you've fallen in love with the feeling of controlling others' life and death!"

Ye Han said, ""

Did she think he was some little freak like her?

Zi Xia continued, "Now that you've seen blood, our next target is more people."

"Huh?"

Ye Han stiffly turned his head, stammering slightly. "How many more people do we have to kill?!"

What was the most terrifying thing in the world?

It was having just killed someone for the first time in your life, before you had even recovered from it, only to hear that you would soon have to kill even more people.

Zi Xia said, "It seems you really have forgotten everything. You don't even know what we're doing here."

Ye Han looked utterly confused. "Then may I ask what exactly we're doing here?"

Zi Xia said, "Training, of course! There are a hundred people in this forest. Ten of them, like us, are Soul Masters who have just awakened their martial souls and possess decent talent. The other ninety are ordinary soldiers who have been on the battlefield."

"Together, we're playing a game called 'Who Can Survive Until the End.' There are only three survival slots."

At this point, Zi Xia once again stuck out her little tongue and licked her pink lips, smiling. "Hehe, so among those hundred people, aside from the two of us, kill anyone else we encounter until everyone is dead."

Hearing this, Ye Han opened his mouth, but for a moment, he was unable to say anything.

How many more people did they have to kill?

Fortunately, the others would be killing one another too. Otherwise, Ye Han would have collapsed. No, he had already collapsed.

Ye Han asked, "How did we even end up in this trial?"

Zi Xia's pupils shrank. "Hehe, we were unlucky. We were targeted when we awakened, forcibly taken here, and turned into pawns in someone else's hands."

Ye Han's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. If that was the case, then even if the two of them passed the trial and became one of the three survivors—

They would probably still be controlled by others and forced to do certain things.

Ye Han's desire to grow stronger had never been as intense as it was now.

He did not want to spend his entire life under someone else's control. That was something he could never accept.

Zi Xia said, "Hehe, I like the look in your eyes right now. Let's grow stronger together! Because in this world, only the strong can break free from fate and take control of their own destiny."

"Oh, and one more thing: you're from the Star Luo Empire. If you truly manage to break free from fate in the end, you might as well go back and take a look. Maybe you'll even find your family, though the chances are slim."

Ye Han did not care much about family.

After all, he was no longer the real Ye Han.

What he wanted most now was to get through this trial, survive, and then continuously grow stronger until he became someone everyone looked up to.

The rest could wait, so he asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Zi Xia said, "What should we do? Naturally, we go to the exit. The time limit for this trial is three months, and the three months are almost up. Everyone will head for the exit. We just need to arrive early, lie in ambush there, and kill everyone who reaches the exit one by one."

Ye Han could not help nodding. "That is a good idea!"

But he immediately felt that something was off. How could there be an exit in a forest? As long as one headed in the right direction, wouldn't any part of the forest's edge be an exit?

Could it be that this was not an ordinary forest, but a special place?

Yes, it had to be a special place.

Otherwise, how could they ensure that the people in the trial would not escape?

After all, if this were the Star Dou Great Forest, no matter how many people they had, they could not guarantee keeping watch over every single trial participant.

But where exactly was this place?

Ye Han truly could not figure it out!

Zi Xia said, "Let's go!"

Still full of doubts, Ye Han followed Zi Xia.

After following Zi Xia for seven or eight days through the vast forest, they finally saw the mouth of a valley.

Ye Han understood a little now.

This forest was actually inside an enormous valley. As long as their captors guarded the valley entrance, those undergoing the trial would be unable to escape.

For some reason, Ye Han felt uneasy as he looked at the valley entrance.

He reminded Zi Xia, who was walking ahead of him, "Be careful. If you could think of this method, others might have thought of it too."

There was one more thing he did not say.

Not every little brat might be as twisted as this little girl, but one could never be too careful. What if someone had gotten here before them and was lying in ambush?

Then the two of them would immediately go from hunters to prey.

He did not like being prey.

Zi Xia did not finish speaking. Instead, her peculiar laugh rang out once more. "Hehe."

Walking behind her, Ye Han could already imagine her little tongue sticking out mischievously again.

Being with such a twisted little girl was truly exhausting!

But no matter what the little girl was thinking, Ye Han had already raised his guard to the highest level. The dagger that had helped him secure his first kill was already in his hand.

Whoosh!

A fierce gust that tore through the air shot toward Zi Xia, who was walking in front.

But surprisingly, the attack had not come from ahead of them, nor from either side.

It had come from behind.

"Hehe."

Zi Xia's laughter rang out again. At some point, she had already turned around, as if she had eyes on the back of her head.

The Thread Blade martial soul had appeared in her hand, and she gave it a flick!

The Thread Blade seemed to come alive, whipping toward the incoming gust like a long whip with eyes of its own.

It had to be said that Zi Xia truly lived up to her reputation as a twisted little girl. She had actually blocked it.

The fierce gust came to an abrupt halt.

Only then did Ye Han see clearly that it was an arrow.

Clap clap clap!

Applause rang out, and then two figures slowly emerged.

Leading them was an extremely sturdy child. Though he looked only six or seven years old, his entire body was covered in muscles.

He was practically a little steel doll.

The other was the complete opposite—a very small child.

However, he was exceptionally nimble, and he held a bow in his hand.

That earlier arrow had most likely been fired from that bow.

Upon seeing the two of them, Zi Xia raised an eyebrow and smiled. "So it's Jin Li and Tie Yun! I didn't expect you two to actually dare come to me on your own. Aren't you afraid of me anymore? I remember you ran faster than rabbits back then!"

"Hmph!"

The sturdy child at the front snorted coldly. "You think I, Jin Li, am afraid of you?"
