Bibi Dong Gets Anxious, Bai Chenxiang Cries

"So many soul beasts, they actually vanished all at once..."

"Could it be that a powerful Evil Soul Master plundered those soul beasts?"

"Is it only the reported Soul Hunting Forests, or have all the Soul Hunting Forests kept by Martial Soul Hall met with disaster?"

After the intelligence officer withdrew, the expression on the face of Bibi Dong remained grim.

For Martial Soul Hall, this single campaign against the Soul Hunting Forests they maintained could be considered a devastating blow.

In the future, when soul masters in those regions wish to hunt for soul rings, Martial Soul Hall will no longer be able to provide them with relatively safe locations to do so.

For such an incident to occur during her tenure as Pope was also a severe blow to the personal prestige of Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong now only hoped that no other Soul Hunting Forests would meet with disaster.

As for places outside the Soul Hunting Forests, Bibi Dong had not yet considered that the soul beasts in those areas might have vanished as well.

Such a thing was something she dared not even imagine!

The disappearance of soul beasts from just over a dozen Soul Hunting Forests was already enough to shock her to the core.

She had ordered the intelligence department to collect information on other areas where soul beasts appeared simply as a comprehensive precaution.

Speed Clan.

In the council hall, the members of the Speed Clan all wore expressions of extreme terror, their faces deathly pale.

As the Speed Clan, possessors of the Sharp-Tailed Swift, the number one speed martial soul on the Douluo Continent, they were also the most excellent intelligence personnel.

Back when they had not yet left the Clear Sky Sect, their Speed Clan had served as the intelligence division for the Clear Sky Sect.

In the years since leaving the Clear Sky Sect, they had not ceased their efforts to gather intelligence from all corners of the land.

Thus, they were the first to learn of the disappearance of the soul beasts, and the first to know that regardless of which soul beast forest or other location where soul beasts were known to roam, there was no longer a trace of them to be found.

Bai He himself had personally scouted one-third of the Douluo Continent, and when combined with the investigations of other clan disciples, the truth had become painfully obvious.

The reason the people present were so panicked was that he had just announced this very fact to them.

"Ho... how could this happen?"

"Where on earth did those soul beasts go?"

"If all the soul beasts are gone, how are we supposed to cultivate in the future?"

"The news hasn't spread yet, but once it does, the entire world will be thrown into chaos..."

"What are we going to do then?"

"..."

The members of the Speed Clan spoke one after another, venting the terror within their hearts.

While fearful, they were also deeply worried about their own cultivation; without soul beasts, there would be no soul rings to absorb, and they would be unable to advance their soul master ranks in the future.

Whatever rank they were at now, they would remain at that rank forever.

"Grandfather, I... will I never be able to absorb a third soul ring?"

"Am I destined to remain at the Soul Grand Master rank for the rest of my life?"

Bai Chenxiang had only just learned of this news, and after digesting the sky-shattering revelation, she immediately grabbed the hand of Bai He and asked anxiously.

"That is correct. If those soul beasts do not return, there will be no soul rings to absorb in the future." Looking at his granddaughter, who looked as if she were about to cry, Bai He, though reluctant, told Bai Chenxiang the truth.

"Ah..."

"Why did it have to be this way?"

"Wuu... Grandfather, I don't want this..."

Hearing the confirmation from Bai He, Bai Chenxiang's small face crumpled, and she could no longer hold back her tears.

At this moment, across the Douluo Continent, the major sects and factions were in turmoil.

Just like Martial Soul Hall and the Speed Clan, many others were beginning to discover the disappearance of the soul beasts.

They, too, were terrified; even if they only knew that the soul beasts in certain areas had vanished en masse, it was enough to strike fear into them.

All sorts of rumors began to circulate.

On one side, people said the soul beasts in a certain forest were all gone; on the other, people said the soul beasts in a certain mountain range had all vanished...

The entire Douluo Continent had begun to show signs of impending chaos.

As for Shrek Academy, aside from the Shrek Seven Devils and Zhao Wuji who were away, no one else had yet discovered anything unusual.

Today, Shrek even welcomed a new teacher.

"Haha, Xiaogang, you finally arrived."

"I knew it. You certainly wouldn't be at ease letting someone else teach your disciple Tang San; I knew you would come."

Flender stepped forward excitedly to embrace Yu Xiaogang, patting his back with enthusiasm.

A rare, gentle smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. He pushed up his glasses and nodded steadily, "Yes, Flender. Tang San's talent is the greatest I have ever seen in my life. After half a lifetime of researching Martial Soul theory, I have finally found a vessel that can truly put them into practice and prove them."

Flender pulled Yu Xiaogang to sit down in the humble office and personally poured him a cup of the cheapest coarse tea, "Xiaogang, tell me the truth: is Tang San a Twin Martial Souls user?"

As Yu Xiaogang's closest companion, he knew all of Yu Xiaogang's theories.

Therefore, once Flender learned that Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple—especially after Tang Hao had also made an appearance—he had guessed that Tang San's Martial Soul might be a Twin Martial Soul.

"It seems I really couldn't hide it from you." Yu Xiaogang took a sip of tea and then said with a smile, "That's right, Tang San's Martial Soul is indeed a Twin Martial Soul. He is the third person known in the world to possess Twin Martial Souls."

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

"I knew I wouldn't have guessed wrong; that kid really is a Twin Martial Souls user!"

Flender had only just sat down, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but stand up in excitement.

"Let's put Tang San aside for now, Flender. You told me in your letter—does the current Shrek really have that many monsters?" Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and asked Flender in return.

He hadn't originally planned to come to Shrek so soon; it was Flender who had written to tell him that, besides Tang San and Xiao Wu, Shrek now had five other geniuses who could be called monsters, all of whom were around the same age as Tang San.

As soon as Yu Xiaogang read Flender's letter, he knew exactly what Flender was thinking.

Tang San and Xiao Wu, plus those five, made exactly seven people—enough to form a battle team.

Flender wanted him to come and train these seven!

"Of course it's all true. Once they return, you'll see for yourself. If the seven of them weren't truly exceptional, I wouldn't have had the nerve to ask you to come and teach them, would I?"

Yu Xiaogang sat back down and said with a smile.

"Fine, then leave the matter of training those seven to me!"

"I can use them to verify the theoretical knowledge I have studied for so many years. I believe that under my guidance, the seven of them will surely become a legendary battle team in the future."

Hearing Flender say this, Yu Xiaogang knew it was the truth, and his tone became uncharacteristically excited.

A Sausage-type support Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat from the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family, a mutated Fire Phoenix, and the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Added to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Thinking of such a team composition, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel thrilled.
