No Way!

King Cobra the first move, but judging from the result, it was clear that Ye Yan and the other three had surrounded King Cobra.

With the venom ineffective, Guo King Cobra was temporarily trapped by Ye Yan and his three companions.

Not to mention Xiao Xiao, who was mainly on the defensive, Ye Yan, who was mainly on the offensive, was already able to break through its scales. Wang Tan and Abbott on the flanks attacked and then fled, their coordination was surprisingly perfect.

Just as Ye Yan and his three companions were preparing a counterattack, King Cobra quickly assumed a defensive stance, unsure whether to retreat or attack.

Ye Yan was puzzled, and Xiao Xiao was also at a stalemate, creating an eerie silence in the camp.

"It's waiting for your support. Shadow Black Panther is fighting fiercely. Lu Ao can win, but he'll definitely be in bad shape."

High up on the tree trunk, the teacher leading the team offered a reminder: Ye Yan and his three companions could indeed remain undefeated for the time being, but once the Shadow Black Panther were defeated, the situation could be reversed immediately.

King Cobra and the Shadow Black Panther are adjacent, there must be a lot of fighting between them.

Despite winning, Shadow Black Panther was also in poor condition. King Cobra forced Shadow Black Panther away and allowed them to steal the Soul King Captain's corpse.

The Shadow Black Panther lost, and the Soul King Captain is also in poor condition and needs care. They can safely retreat King Cobra.

Either way, King Cobra is profitable, so there's no need to rush to break through.

Moreover, if King Cobra were to break through, Ye Yan and the other three would be unable to stop him either. They were far inferior to King Cobra and could at most protect themselves and remain undefeated.

Upon hearing the warning, Ye Yan and the other three instinctively huddled together and retreated to one side of the camp to prevent the giant snake from reaching the first battle zone.

"In the past?"

The teacher leading the group pointed to a branch on one side, where the Bai Cai had been waiting patiently for some time.

Generally speaking, unless the supervising teacher comes out in person, the trainees rarely get to see each other.

After all, the gap is too large. The instructors leading the teams are at least Soul Emperors, and depending on the students, the outer academy students are usually Soul Emperors Soul Saint, while the inner academy students are even Soul Saint or higher.

Graduates from the outer academy are at Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, while their instructors are at least Soul Emperors, a difference of more than two ranks.

Soul Ancestor students are led by Soul Emperors, while Soul King students are led by instructors who are at least Soul Saint.

Normally, Soul Saint Soul Saint above can hide their Soul Master, and those below the Soul Emperor level are basically unaware of them.

However, the fact that the Bai Cai happened to meet the teacher leading the group at the treetop speaks volumes.

"They can solve it themselves."

Bai Cai sat down next to the teacher leading the group, saying, "I've heard that many sects have secret techniques that can rapidly increase Soul Power."

"Certainly."

The supervising teacher affirmed the techniques but quickly pointed out their shortcomings. "However, the scope of application for these secret techniques is very narrow. Apart from special circumstances, their effects are even less than those of mimicry cultivation. Moreover, these sects rarely have bloodline members."

Bai Cai faced the center of the camp, "Using this as a reference, it should be able to..."

"You don't need that, do you?"

The supervising teacher asked, "Advancing one ring to four rings a year means at least a twenty-plus level increase. Isn't that fast?"

Bai Cai denied it, "Of course not, I've already taken a lot of pills, and..."

The supervising teacher replied, "Even with the most elixirs, one can only advance four or five levels in a year. Advancing ten levels or more in a year is still a lot."

"Not enough, it's still too slow."

Bai Cai knew very well that aside from elixirs, Immortal Herb, and sacrifices, he could improve very little.

The resistance to elixirs, the preciousness of the Immortal Herb, and the chance of sacrifice—these opportunities cannot be replicated.

Compared to the plans I made, the normal pace is clearly insufficient.

If he hopes to end the war, he will need to be promoted to Titled Douluo at least a few years from now.

If he wanted to tell Wang Dong the truth, he would need to advance to the Peerless Douluo in at least a few years.

If I wish to see the apricot blossoms again, I will need to ascend to godhood at least a few years from now.

If you want change...

Is it worth it?

The supervising teacher asked, "Many secret techniques either damage the foundation or waste potential. What's worth doing that?"

"Many, many, many more."

The Bai Cai gazed toward the center of the camp, beside a raging fire, where darkness stretched endlessly.

"In a righteous world, freedom would surely shine brightly, but this world is very dark, devoid of light."

The teacher in charge asked cautiously, "Sun Moon and Moon? Star Luo Empire? Or the Academy?"

"No."

Through the shadows of the forest leaves, the Bai Cai gazed up at the sky, "I'm talking about the dark, hopeless starry sky that has existed for millennia."

Pat, pat, pat.

After taking the healing elixir and completing the bone setting, Lu Ao carried the corpse back.

He struck first and dominated the entire map; Shadow Black Panther maintained his dominance throughout, and the result was exactly as expected.

The Shadow Black Panther's dying blow did inflict some damage, but thanks to his Full Map Vision, Lu Ao had already taken precautions and thus didn't pay much of a price.

Of course, his Soul Power reserves were almost completely depleted, and he was essentially unable to fight for the time being.

The Full Map Vision allows Lu Ao to prepare, but the Shadow Black Panther's final blow is something Luo must deal with on his own.

Not being an assassin-type Soul Master, Mutsu knew he lacked speed, so he expended a lot of Soul Power to fight back.

The Shadow Black Panther was on the verge of death and in a very bad state; it could easily be stopped by expending a little Soul Power.

Of course, Shadow Black Panther was already over ten thousand years old, so his dislocated arm was quite severe.

But the result was clearly worthwhile. The Shadow Black Panther perfectly met his needs, and he was able to Swallow all the benefits for himself, including any potential Soul Bone and other materials produced.

If he and his teammates were to kill the Shadow Black Panther together, and Soul Bone was obtained, they would have to give up a considerable amount of profit.

A single Soul Bone, a ten -Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, costs at least several million Gold Soul Coin.

Mutsu himself was reluctant to give up his profits, but Soul Bone were far more valuable. With just one Soul Bone, even a commoner Soul Master could defy fate.

Being able to Swallow all the benefits, even if it only weakens you for a short while, is entirely worthwhile.

Of course, even though the drop rate of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is relatively high, it is still very rare in the overall situation, and can at most be considered as having gambling value.

However, considering the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the camp, the probability of producing Soul Bone is almost half a percent. Half a percent probability is a huge profit, which is enough to make many Soul Master turn against each other.

"Don't come any closer!"

A stern warning Lu Ao back to his senses. He quickly stepped back and turned his body to the side, but a dark shadow was already biting at him.

Danger!

Danger!

Lu Ao seemed to be able to smell the stench; he was less than a foot away from the shadowy figure, and the sharp fangs nearly pierced his arm.

Just as Lu Ao realized something was wrong, the shadowy figure seemed to encounter some Barrier, shifting slightly and failing to actually bite.

In a panic, Lu Ao immediately smashed over the Shadow Black Panther's corpse and quickly dodged the shadow. At the same time, a giant cauldron came after him, smashing the shadow back along with the Shadow Black Panther's corpse.

However, the shadowy figure was clearly highly defensive; its scales opened and closed in waves, Shadow Black Panther's corpse to slide away considerably, and the giant cauldron also crashed into the distance.

Xiao Xiao stared at the King Cobra, where a giant cauldron blocked Lu Ao. He circled back King Cobra and stared at the corpse of the Shadow Black Panther, hissing loudly.

After a brief standoff, the Shadow Black Panther over the King Cobra, was now retreating into the darkness, hissing a warning as it went.

"No!"

As he caught a glimpse of the King Cobra receding into darkness, Lu Ao's expression twisted in rage. "My Soul Ring! My Soul Bone! You beast!"
