People Can Scare Each Other to Death (Please Follow)

The next morning.

Liu Erlong, Flender, Lu Qibin, Tai Tan, Tai Nuo!

One Soul Douluo, two Soul Saints, one Soul Emperor, and one Soul King—a total of five people.

They met up with Tie Xiong and Tailong at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy, preparing to head for Sunset Forest.

"Sunset Forest isn't far from Heaven Dou City. Most Soul Masters from the cities centered around Heaven Dou City hunt Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest!"

Flender said.

The core region of Sunset Forest was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. How could Tie Xiong not know that?

"This trip to Sunset Forest won't just include us. The three members of the Education Committee from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Qin Ming will also be coming!"

Flender added.

Tie Xiong was somewhat surprised. What did this have to do with Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

"Little Monster, don't be surprised. They all came because of you. Member Bai Baoshan personally came to recruit you into Heaven Dou Royal Academy a few days ago.

Boss Fu and I have already reached an agreement with him. The three academies will cooperate in researching Soul Ring absorption limits, and you are the key to it all!"

Liu Erlong said softly.

There had been quite a verbal battle over this. Liu Erlong and Flender had argued their case fiercely.

So I've become a lab rat?

Tie Xiong was speechless.

Just for absorbing a second Soul Ring, they had mobilized four Soul Douluos. That was truly a bit excessive!

It seemed the three committee members thought highly of him.

"As for which academy you cultivate at in the future, I'll respect your decision!"

Flender sighed at that moment.

Tai Tan's pupils contracted. He had not expected Tie Xiong to have already attracted Heaven Dou Royal Academy's attention.

It seemed he had still underestimated the impact of Tie Xiong absorbing Soul Rings beyond his rank!

He began to doubt whether he could still recruit Tie Xiong in the future.

Before long, the people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy arrived.

At the front were three elderly men dressed in black robes embroidered with strange golden patterns. They were the custom attire of Soul Masters with the title of Soul Douluo.

The three consisted of one thin man, one fat man, and one ordinary-looking man.

The thin one was Meng Shenji, whose Martial Soul was Black Demon.

The fat one was Bai Baoshan, whose Martial Soul was the Heaven Star Furnace.

The ordinary one was Zhi Lin, whose Martial Soul was Azure Vine.

Behind them followed Dugu Yan, who was smiling as she winked at Tie Xiong.

Beside Dugu Yan stood Ye Lingling, her face veiled in black gauze.

For a moment, an invisible atmosphere formed beneath the white marble gatehouse of Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Greetings, seniors!"

Tie Xiong, Tailong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling all bowed to the other side's Soul Douluos.

"Haha, no need to be so formal. To witness the Little Monster of Monster Academy surpass his limits and absorb his second Soul Ring is our honor. This is Meng Shenji, the chief of the Education Committee and a Soul Douluo. This is Zhi Lin, the third member of the Education Committee and a Soul Douluo!"

Bai Baoshan stepped before the group and introduced them.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also came over to Tie Xiong's side.

"Tie Xiong, I truly never expected it. Your first Soul Ring was an eight-hundred-year Blood Demon Berserk Bear!

I volunteered to come with Teacher Qin this time just to see how many years your second Soul Ring can withstand!"

Surprise flickered in Dugu Yan's emerald-green eyes.

"Hehe, I'll definitely open your eyes this time!"

The beginning of fate came from curiosity.

For women, curiosity could kill the cat.

"I dragged Lingling here. If you fail to absorb it, with Lingling here, your life can still be saved!"

Dugu Yan said with a grin.

Ye Lingling nodded to Tie Xiong from beside her.

This was Tie Xiong's first close encounter with Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling was dressed entirely in black. Unlike Dugu Yan's liveliness, she instead gave off an endless sense of loneliness and desolation.

That temperament was quite unique!

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Sister. I experienced your Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul last time. With you here, Sister, even dying won't be easy!"

Tie Xiong's gaze was full of aggression as he stared at Ye Lingling's utterly emotionless eyes.

It was as though he wanted to see through the face beneath her black veil.

Ye Lingling remained unmoved, without the slightest emotional reaction.

"Alright, let's go!"

Liu Erlong said at that moment.

That little bastard called every woman he met Sister.

Just how many sisters had he acknowledged?

Following Liu Erlong's words, the group of twelve set off down the road toward Sunset Forest.

Liu Erlong, Tai Nuo, Qin Ming, and Tie Xiong walked at the back.

Flender walked ahead with Tai Tan, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin.

Flender chatted smoothly with the Soul Douluos, completely at ease.

"Sister!"

After leaving Heaven Dou City, Tie Xiong habitually spoke up, intending to ask Liu Erlong how far Sunset Forest was.

Then he felt the surroundings seem to grow quieter.

The temperature also seemed to drop.

He saw Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan both turn to look at him.

Even Ye Lingling seemed to move slightly.

Which sister was he calling?

Tie Xiong smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

He would have to be more careful in the future.

This was a battlefield of love!

Before long, the group of twelve arrived at Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest was clearly different from Star Dou Great Forest. Located in the north, its temperature was much lower than the tropical rainforest of Star Dou Great Forest.

Its vegetation consisted of temperate plants as well.

It did not have the towering, dense trees found throughout Star Dou Great Forest.

Tie Xiong took a deep breath. It was not as dense or humid here, and felt much fresher.

However, the Soul Beasts here were all between a thousand and ten thousand years in cultivation.

With four Soul Douluos present, there was naturally no need to worry about safety.

Tai Nuo and Qin Ming cleared the way in front while the others followed behind.

Flender had long since vanished from sight.

Just like last time in Star Dou Great Forest, Flender had gone to scout for Soul Beasts suitable for Tie Xiong.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in the heart of the forest. A trace of longing flashed through Tie Xiong's eyes.

He glanced at Dugu Yan beside him again.

Dugu Bo should be in Sunset Forest right now, shouldn't he?

"Hm?"

A fishy stench wafted over, and Tie Xiong abruptly retreated two steps.

A green-haired old man had appeared beside Dugu Yan. He was like a phantom, giving off an illusory feeling.

People could scare each other to death. Could this be Dugu Bo?

He had thought of Dugu Bo, and Dugu Bo had arrived?

Liu Erlong was walking beside Tie Xiong.

Liu Erlong had not reacted much faster than Tie Xiong. She only noticed at that moment that someone had appeared beside them.

Flames burst from Liu Erlong's eyes. Blazing fire rose all over her body, and her skin was covered in fiery red scales. Seven Soul Rings surrounded her as she directly activated her Martial Soul Avatar.

"Who are you?" Liu Erlong asked warily.

At that moment, Tai Tan, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin in front had all turned around.

The three committee members were of one mind and simultaneously unleashed overwhelming auras.

Two yellow, three purple, and three black Soul Rings—eight Soul Rings bloomed at once.

In the palm of Bai Baoshan, the fattest man in the middle, appeared a golden furnace. It was the Heaven Star Furnace Martial Soul.

Seven silver stars gleamed upon it, and a heavy aura spread throughout his body.

He stood before the others, on guard against the figure that had suddenly appeared.

Tai Tan had also completed Great Strength Gorilla Possession.

His already massive body swelled further, while his arms lengthened until they hung below his knees. Black fur emerged over his exposed skin, and eight Soul Rings lit up, his aura imposing.

The green-haired old man had silently appeared before them. There was no doubt about his strength.
