Swallowing the Soul-Guided Cannon

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the Fixed-Station Soul Guidance Cannon flew toward Ning Tian and Jin Sheng.

"Ning Tian, something is flying over!"

Even though he had already shared his Spiritual Detection soul skill with his teammates, Huo Yuhao still couldn't help but call out a warning.

"A Fixed-Station Soul Guidance Cannon!"

Through Huo Yuhao's soul skill, Ning Tian was the first to notice the anomaly.

She recognized what it was at a single glance.

But noticing it and being able to stop it were two completely different things.

Its speed was simply too fast.

It was not something they could handle at all.

"Leave it to me!"

Just as Ning Tian began to feel nervous, Jin Sheng's voice, steady in a way that belied his age, rang out.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, Jin Sheng's four soul rings fused together.

This was not the Ring Fusion secret technique, but rather an autonomous soul-fusing skill he possessed because all four of his soul rings had been hunted from the same species of soul beast.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Crocodile King Devours Heaven!"

By merging all four soul rings into his fourth, which was already a ten-thousand-year soul ring, the power Jin Sheng unleashed at this moment reached a level comparable to that of a six-ring Soul Emperor.

The soul skill granted by the torso bone bestowed upon him by his Young Master could easily handle the current situation, but he knew very well that exposing a soul bone prematurely would bring him trouble before he reached the level of a Title Douluo.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use this method.

Jin Sheng's fourth soul skill was an incredibly overbearing one.

It could violently devour an opponent's soul power and temporarily use it for his own purposes.

If the people from Shrek Academy were to judge it, they would classify this soul skill as that of an Evil Soul Master.

The question was, in the current situation, would they dare to make such a judgment?

Moreover, Crocodile King Devours Heaven did not devour an opponent's power to permanently enhance his own; it merely consumed their soul power for temporary use without damaging their origin.

Of course, this was controllable.

It was not impossible to devour an opponent's soul power to the point of permanent loss, but the conditions were extremely harsh, and once used in that manner, he would truly be branded an Evil Soul Master. Jin Sheng naturally knew what he should do.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, one for Power, two for Speed, three for Soul..."

Seeing Jin Sheng charge straight toward the Fixed-Station Soul Guidance Cannon, intending to block the damage for everyone single-handedly, Ning Tian grew anxious, but fortunately, she did not lose her composure and hurriedly cast her soul skills to buff him.

The next moment, a phantom of a ten-meter-long Golden Crocodile King appeared behind Jin Sheng, opening its maw to swallow the soul guidance cannon whole.

"Boom!"

Immediately following, a dull explosion echoed from within the Golden Crocodile King phantom.

Fortunately, the moment the soul skill made contact, Jin Sheng had already used the Crocodile King Devours Heaven to absorb nearly forty percent of the force, preventing the explosion from being intense enough to impact the others.

However, his own condition was clearly not good.

A Level 5 Fixed-Station Soul Guidance Cannon was capable of harming a Soul King, or even a Soul Emperor.

With Jin Sheng's strength and the trump cards he possessed, he could have withstood the blast with his own body without suffering major issues.

But to protect those behind him, he chose to bear the brunt of it all himself.

Fortunately, He Caitou's strength and level as a soul engineer were not yet high enough; by forcing the activation, he could not perfectly unleash the full power of the cannon.

Coupled with Ning Tian's timely assistance, although Jin Sheng suffered some injuries, they were not fatal.

"How is this possible..."

"How could he possibly block it!"

Below, Zhou Yi saw this scene, her expression turning extremely ugly.

She could not accept this result.

It shouldn't be like this!

It shouldn't be!

That was a Level 5 Fixed-Station Soul Guidance Cannon; how could a mere Soul Ancestor possibly stop it?

"It's over!"

"I'm finished!"

At this moment, Zhou Yi felt an unprecedented sense of fear.

If she had been able to complete the mission assigned by the Dean, perhaps the other party would have protected her for the sake of her husband, Fan Yu.

But now, with the Dean's task unfulfilled, would they still protect her?

"No, I must find Fan Yu, I must find Fan Yu..."

Zhou Yi's first thought was to find her husband.

The problem was, if her husband learned of what she had done, would he be able to forgive her?

Zhou Yi did not know!

She was even more afraid that if her husband found out about her actions, it would ruin the image she held in his heart, and that he might leave her in a fit of rage. If that happened, what would she do?

"That's right, this was all He Caitou's idea."

"This was a mistake he committed all on his own!"

Very quickly, Zhou Yi found a suitable scapegoat.

It was He Caitou.

This entire affair was the work of He Caitou alone.

"Uncle Yang, you and Elder Jin prepare yourselves; wait for my signal at any time."

Ning Que put away the Image Recording Orb, then took out a communication Soul Tool and sent a message to Yang Duo, who was in Shrek City.

He was calculating what price Shrek would have to pay this time to appease the fury of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

"Presumptuous..."

"What a fine Shrek Academy, what a holy land for genius soul masters!"

Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to seize the initiative and take control of the situation, Ning Que spoke in a deep voice, immediately cutting him off.

"You have repeatedly bullied my Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. Out of respect for the friendship of our ancestors, we chose to step back and keep the peace!"

"I never imagined that you would only become more insatiable!"

"Not only did you ostracize the disciples of my sect, but you also intended to kill them during the competition."

"What is this? Does your Shrek Academy truly hold no one in this world in your eyes?"

"You hold no regard for my Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, no regard for the Clear Sky Sect, and no regard for the Mysterious Underworld Sect!"

"If Shrek Academy does not give us an explanation for today's events, my Nine Treasures Glazed Sect will unite with the other two great sects to demand justice from your Shrek Academy!"

Ning Que spoke in a deep voice, his cold eyes fixed on Yan Shaozhe.

As he spoke, he channeled his soul power, allowing his voice to carry across the entire area surrounding the competition grounds.

Did they truly believe that because Mu En had recovered some of his strength, he could protect Shrek Academy?

If it weren't for the fact that Mu En needed to remain alive for the time being, he wouldn't have been tempted even if the other party had offered that torso bone as a trade.

After calculating it all, wouldn't it be better to simply destroy Shrek Academy and take everything for free?

Never mind what the Tang God King might forbid; he had already been secretly preparing to create a god, so how could he not have the means to ensure the destruction of Shrek Academy?

There were plenty of opportunities and methods.

"Brat, shut your mouth!"

Hearing Ning Que speak such words, Yan Shaozhe was instantly enraged.

The aura of a Super Douluo erupted, and a tyrannical force surged toward Ning Que, pressing down upon him.
