Yun Ze looked at the scenery in the distance, and a trace of drowsiness gradually welled up in his heart.
Just as he was preparing to rest a little to prepare for the upcoming practical simulation training, a loud boom erupted from the front of the Soul Guidance Train.
Like a thunderclap on flat ground, it completely dispelled Yun Ze's sleepiness.
Yun Ze was startled by the explosion, his whole body jolting, and just as his eyes sharpened, he heard cursing coming from the front.
It sounded like a robbery?
Yun Ze couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Guan Yue at his side.
The latter was still sitting with her eyes closed, looking calm and composed, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
A strange feeling suddenly rose in Yun Ze's heart.
It was an indescribable, vague premonition that he had been set up.
Surely they wouldn't be so unscrupulous as to use a whole train of people as bait?
At this moment, Yun Ze prepared to get up to investigate, but Guan Yue said in a deep voice.
"What's the rush? Remember, when encountering sudden situations, do not act rashly, especially someone like you who has not yet reached the peak."
Yun Ze replied.
"Teacher, you are from the War God Temple; are you not going to handle this?"
Guan Yue said calmly.
"Rest assured, the explosion in front didn't hurt anyone. That was just a means for a hotheaded kid to show off and scare people."
"I am waiting for the mastermind to appear. A few kids who aren't even Soul Elders shouldn't have the guts to hijack a Soul Guidance Train heading to the Shrek line."
"I have already contacted the people from the War God Temple. If there is truly a problem, we will ensure that casualties are minimized."
Yun Ze then said.
"Does Teacher mean that those in front are just Evil Soul Masters below the level of Soul Elder?"
Guan Yue nodded, and then she saw Yun Ze flash and appear at the carriage door.
Guan Yue was somewhat surprised by Yun Ze's speed, and she asked in a deep voice.
"Did you not hear what I said?"
Yun Ze replied calmly.
"As righteous Soul Masters, even if there is indeed danger ahead, we should not use the lives of civilians as bait to trade for so-called greater gains."
"An organization that wishes to be supported by the people must first put the interests of the people first."
As he spoke, Yun Ze simultaneously released his Heaven-Propping Spear and Heaven-Surpassing Spear martial souls. He spun the Heaven-Surpassing Spear in his hand, raised his foot, and kicked open the door of the Soul Guidance Train carriage.
The flying carriage door crossed the entire carriage and slammed directly into the door occupied by the Evil Soul Masters.
Those Evil Soul Masters, who were holding Soul Tools and preparing to slaughter civilians to harvest souls, were instantly stunned, followed by the appearance of a hashtag-shaped golden light on the Soul Guidance door.
One of the Evil Soul Masters stepped forward to inspect it, only to be knocked back by the fragments of the flying door.
A figure now stood there, wielding dual spears, and walked into the carriage step by step.
Yun Ze didn't waste words with these people; as his dual spears danced, he had already assumed his stance.
In his first real combat with the Heaven-Surpassing Spear and Heaven-Propping Spear, Yun Ze relied on his own physical strength, dancing the single-handed spears as if they were dual-wielded, whistling with power.
With the dual spears circling his body, he easily blocked the attacks of the Evil Soul Masters.
Seeing that their Soul Tool attacks were useless, the opposing Evil Soul Masters immediately used their martial soul power, launching black claw-blade attacks toward Yun Ze's head.
At this moment, Yun Ze also activated his first soul skill of the Heaven-Propping Spear, Spear of Destiny.
The Heaven-Propping Spear flashed with the light of destiny, and as the spear tip flickered, it actually carried a pulling force.
It guided Yun Ze's arm, bypassing all soul power and Soul Tool defenses, to strike directly at the opponent's chest.
Seeing that Yun Ze had already engaged the Evil Soul Masters and that his methods were extremely fierce, with dozens of moves exchanged in just a few breaths, Guan Yue sighed.
She thought to herself that she would just have to end this fishing operation and deal with the small fry on the surface first.
However, to Guan Yue's surprise, just as Yun Ze used a straight thrust of the Heaven-Surpassing Spear to pierce through an Evil Soul Master, a black figure leaped down from the roof of the Soul Guidance Train.
That figure had an eight-ring cultivation level; he had arrived at the roof quickly from a great distance and reached out to grab Yun Ze's back.
It seemed that in the eyes of that Evil Soul Master, those Evil Soul Master companions were far less important than Yun Ze.
Guan Yue thought that this trip wouldn't be in vain after all, and she immediately stepped out, instantly appearing between Yun Ze and the black figure.
Grabbing the black figure's wrist, Guan Yue took advantage of the momentum to throw him over her shoulder.
The black figure clearly hadn't noticed Guan Yue, who had never shown her true colors before.
The moment he saw Guan Yue make a move, he trembled all over and turned to run out of the carriage.
Guan Yue raised her hand, and her own Heaven-Surpassing Divine Spear appeared in her grasp.
With the spear in hand, she aimed at the man's back and threw it.
The Heaven-Surpassing Divine Spear shot forward like a straight meteor, rapidly catching up to the man's back and piercing clean through his heart.
After being run through by the Heaven-Surpassing Spear, the black figure was pinned firmly in place.
At this moment, the people from the War God Temple that Guan Yue had contacted arrived on the scene, quickly stepping forward to seal the man's soul power while stopping the bleeding and dragging him away.
An Evil Soul Master of this level might not be a particularly big fish, but it was certainly enough to count as a contribution.
Guan Yue looked at Yun Ze, who was currently drenched in blood as if he were wearing a crimson suit of armor, his eyes still radiating a sharp light without the slightest hint of fear from seeing blood for the first time.
"You did very well. Although you were still a bit reckless, you did have a grasp of your own strength."
Guan Yue looked at Yun Ze and spoke with a fair amount of satisfaction, to which Yun Ze asked while looking back at him:
"This shouldn't be what you call actual combat training, right?"
Guan Yue nodded, looked at Yun Ze, and said:
"Don't let your imagination run so wild; this was just an accident. Our destination is Heaven Dou City."
Yun Ze nodded, retracted his martial soul, and yawned as he said:
"Then I'll rest for a while; I'm a bit tired."
Guan Yue was not lying; this was indeed just an accident. Under the arrangements of the War God Temple, the two quickly switched to the next vehicle and headed all the way toward Heaven Dou City.
This little interlude could only be considered something that changed Guan Yue's perspective on Yun Ze's true strength.
At the very least, the current Yun Ze, with his twin spears in hand, could contend with an average two-ring soul master.
Upon arriving at Heaven Dou City, Yun Ze finally understood what the so-called actual combat training was specifically meant to train.
After following Guan Yue to a mysterious company, the scene before his eyes suddenly shifted, and a young girl with powder-blue hair walked slowly toward him.
The girl had long hair, and the Vertical Pupil in her eyes revealed an extraordinary identity; she was also holding a golden spear in her hand.
A mechanical prompt sounded in Yun Ze's ears...
