"Blue Silver Domain: Life Guard!"
Seeing Tang Hao attack, Ah Yin immediately sprang into action.
She still didn't know how strong Lin Yue was. She only knew that she couldn't stand by and watch her master get attacked. Until Lin Yue made a move or ordered her to do something else, she had to protect him on her own initiative.
Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from thin air, shielding her and Lin Yue together.
"Ah! Yin!"
Seeing Ah Yin still protecting Lin Yue, Tang Hao gritted his teeth so hard his gums nearly split.
"You bastard! Hiding behind a woman—what kind of man does that make you?"
Tang Hao couldn't bring himself to attack Ah Yin, so he could only point the Clear Sky Hammer at Lin Yue and berate him.
"Ah Yin already knows very well whether I'm a man. Ah Yin, isn't that right?"
Lin Yue wasn't the least bit bothered. Tang Hao's taunts had no effect on him. He knew that although he now possessed the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, he had no real means of attack.
"Master..."
Hearing the unmistakable innuendo, Ah Yin's pretty face flushed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"You bastard! What have you done to Ah Yin?!"
Tang Hao's eyes instantly filled with blood. He was practically ready to explode with rage.
Ah Yin looked up at Tang Hao. Her eyes held shame and reluctance. Although she had already lost all faith in Tang Hao, she had indeed done something that wronged him.
So she didn't quite dare face Tang Hao just then. After glancing at him, she hurriedly looked away, afraid to meet his eyes.
"AAAAAAAAH—!!!"
Seeing this, Tang Hao understood everything. His reason completely collapsed.
His eyes bulged with fury. Soul Power erupted from his body like boiling magma, and blinding red light mingled with savage killing intent as it shot into the sky, staining the surrounding air crimson.
His Divine Slaughter's Domain unfurled on its own.
"Ah Yin, you shameless woman!"
"You adulterous dogs! I'll kill every last one of you!!!"
Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and raised it high, ready to bring it down.
At that moment, he truly wanted to smash Ah Yin to death as well.
"Sorry, Tang Hao, but I'm taking Ah Yin with me. You can go join that son of yours you're so proud of!"
Seeing this, Lin Yue's expression changed slightly. He didn't dare be careless anymore. Holding Ah Yin, he swept his right hand, and the two of them entered the Containment Shelter.
Whoosh~
Lin Yue and Ah Yin vanished from right before Tang Hao's eyes.
Tang Hao froze in place, the Clear Sky Hammer still raised high, his face full of disbelief.
"Where are they?!"
Tang Hao's furious roar rang through the air like that of a wounded beast.
He had watched Lin Yue casually wave his hand and disappear into thin air with Ah Yin, without leaving behind the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power, as if they had never existed.
His attack, brimming with boundless fury, had nowhere to go.
He unleashed his full spiritual perception, but couldn't sense Lin Yue or Ah Yin at all. Not even the slightest trace.
"AAAAAAH—!!!"
The utmost fury, overwhelming hatred, and the humiliation of having his wife stolen right in front of him struck his heart and mind like countless steel needles. With nowhere to vent his rage, Tang Hao felt a rush of bitter sweetness surge uncontrollably up his throat.
"Pfft—!!!"
A huge mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips before he could hold it back.
"Ugh...!"
Tang Hao clutched his aching chest with his left hand. His body trembled violently, wracked by the upheaval of his emotions and the backlash of his surging blood and Qi.
"Shameless woman..."
"You adulterous dogs, you two adulterous dogs..."
Tang Hao's voice rasped like sandpaper, steeped in venom and bone-deep hatred. "To the ends of the earth... I, Tang Hao... swear... I'll... tear you both... limb from limb!!"
Shrek Academy.
At his battered desk, Yu Xiaogang was scribbling calculations on paper, his expression focused and fired with enthusiasm.
Yu Xiaogang was calculating and devising the Shrek Seven Devils' future training plans.
He was working out what kinds of Soul Rings they should absorb and what Soul Skills they should obtain so they could form a more well-rounded team.
"Dai Mubai should follow the Power Attack System. He just needs to follow the White Tiger family's path in the Star Luo Empire..."
"Zhu Zhuqing is the same... She and Dai Mubai can also perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so I have to make sure they master it..."
"And there's Ning Rongrong. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is the top-ranked support-type Martial Soul, and its Soul Skills never change. I only need to find the right Soul Beasts based on the amplification effect of each of her Soul Skills..."
"But I hear the young lady has quite a temper. She could certainly stand to be put through the wringer some more..."
"As for Oscar, we'll have to see what Third Soul Skill he gets this time. It's a shame I arrived a step too late. Zhao Wuji, that muscle-headed brute, doesn't know the first thing. I hope Oscar's Third Soul Skill doesn't disappoint..."
"And then there's Ma Hongjun..."
Yu Xiaogang kept calculating and planning, as if he had never been more passionate.
The seven members of Shrek Academy were simply too talented, and there were exactly seven of them—enough to form a team.
Yu Xiaogang instinctively felt that guiding this team was one of the few chances in his life to prove himself.
Tang San was his disciple, and there was no denying he had taught him. But that was guidance for one person. Guiding an entire team would prove his abilities even more.
Bang—
Suddenly, the door to Yu Xiaogang's office was thrown open.
Yu Xiaogang furrowed his brows slightly. Having his train of thought interrupted naturally displeased him.
"Xiaogang, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
But Flender's first words immediately banished Yu Xiaogang's irritation.
"What happened?"
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked.
He knew Flender. If something could leave Flender this panicked, then something truly terrible must have happened.
"The Soul Beasts—all the Soul Beasts have disappeared!"
After sitting down across from Yu Xiaogang, Flender skipped the preamble and went straight to the point.
"You're saying all the Soul Beasts have disappeared?"
"Where have they disappeared from?"
Yu Xiaogang was startled and immediately pressed him for details.
"Everywhere—all of them!"
"From the information I've received, there are practically no Soul Beasts left in any of the places they used to appear in here in the Heaven Dou Empire. It's as if they all vanished overnight..."
"And we've even heard from coastal cities that they can't find a single Sea Soul Beast along the shore!"
"If even the ocean has been affected, then the Star Luo Empire can't be faring any better!"
"So the most likely explanation is that all the Soul Beasts have disappeared!"
Flender spoke quickly, his face still filled with disbelief.
Even now, he couldn't believe the news was real.
But reports from every channel confirmed that it was.
After hearing Flender out, Yu Xiaogang was instantly dumbfounded.
