The Terrifying Master of Illusions

The silver-white Soul Guidance Train sped freely across the Federation's lands.

Mu Tianchen sat in his seat, listening to Leng Yaozhu explain Battle Armor knowledge while also hearing her analysis of the continent's situation.

Mu Tianchen sighed inwardly. As the Spirit Pagoda's deputy master, Leng Yaozhu truly possessed an astonishing wealth of knowledge.

After listening to Leng Yaozhu's explanations, he felt as though many of his previous doubts had suddenly been illuminated. He understood them at once and even felt a sense of sublimation.

No wonder everyone liked powerful teachers. Having a powerful teacher not only protected one's safety, but also elevated one's understanding.

A person's strength was not reflected solely in their power. Beyond strength, it also lay in their understanding. If someone possessed formidable insight, their strength would naturally not be weak.

However, at that moment, Mu Tianchen suddenly rose to his feet. He looked at Leng Yaozhu with an expression he could barely endure, as though he had eaten something bad, and said painfully,

"Um, Teacher, could we pause for a moment? I have an urgent matter."

Leng Yaozhu immediately frowned. "You need to use the restroom?"

Mu Tianchen nodded. "Yes."

Leng Yaozhu asked, "How long?"

Mu Tianchen said, "Ten minutes."

"Go on. Be careful."

This time, Leng Yaozhu did not get angry. For some reason, her tone even seemed much gentler. With a calm expression, she waved Mu Tianchen off, signaling him to hurry back.

"Alright, Teacher. I understand."

Mu Tianchen was instantly delighted. His teacher's attitude was completely different from before. That was a good thing!

In truth, he did not like his teacher being cold toward him all the time either. He felt that made her seem inhuman. It was good for a teacher to show a little warmth when appropriate.

He quickly got up and ran toward the Soul Guidance Train's restroom. Like the high-speed trains from his previous life, Soul Guidance Trains on the Douluo Continent were also equipped with restrooms.

Walking through the train's corridor, Mu Tianchen sighed. If he had known, he would not have drunk so much water after boarding.

The train had only been moving for an hour, yet his stomach was already acting up. Fortunately, there was a restroom on the train. Otherwise, he would not have known what to do.

"Little one, are you in such a hurry because you need to use the restroom?"

Suddenly, a sinister voice rang beside Mu Tianchen's ear. That voice was like an icy spring in the depths of a dark abyss, instantly sending chills down his spine.

"Who is it?!"

Mu Tianchen shouted, trying to use his voice to dispel his own nervousness. However, before he could react, the scene around him rapidly changed.

In only a few seconds, the Soul Guidance Train completely vanished. The surroundings turned into a pitch-black space, and a suffocating aura instantly enveloped him.

"Hehe, little brother, are you so nervous because big sister is too frightening?"

At that moment, a beautiful young woman brimming with youthful energy abruptly appeared before Mu Tianchen. Seeing his helpless look, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Who are you?"

Mu Tianchen's expression changed drastically. His body involuntarily took a step back as he watched the beautiful young girl warily.

Although this girl looked to be only around eighteen, who could guarantee that she was not actually an old woman over a hundred years old?

On the Douluo Continent, accomplished cultivators could usually use their life energy to preserve their appearance at a young age.

Many people looked no older than twenty, yet their true age was well over a hundred.

Thus, Mu Tianchen did not dare determine the girl's real age.

"Haha, little brother, my name is Lina. Don't be so fierce with me."

The beautiful girl in a long black dress smiled as she slowly approached Mu Tianchen step by step.

"Lina?"

Hearing that name, Mu Tianchen nodded.

But immediately afterward, his hair stood on end.

Lina?

Mu Tianchen suddenly recalled that when Tang Wulin had once taken a Soul Guidance Train, he encountered a youthful beauty named Lina.

At the time, Lina had claimed to be a student of Eastsea Academy. She met Tang Wulin at the Soul Guidance Train station, and they agreed that Tang Wulin would definitely go to Eastsea Academy to find her in the future.

Everything had seemed beautiful, but disaster soon struck. That youthful girl had transformed into a powerful Super Douluo and directly abducted Tang Wulin, whose cultivation had already reached a respectable level.

Had Gu Yuena and Qiangu Zhangting, who possessed the strength of a Title Douluo, not been there at the time, Tang Wulin likely would have found it difficult to escape.

Yet now, he had encountered this person himself. What was he supposed to do?

Mu Tianchen assumed a defensive stance. At that moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, sweat streaming down his forehead.

By then, Lina had already reached him. A powerful restraining force directly bound Mu Tianchen, leaving him unable to move.

"Hehe, little brother, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome."

Lina lifted Mu Tianchen's chin with her slender jade-like finger.

Mu Tianchen was incomparably nervous. Whether in his previous life or this one, it was the first time anyone had flirted with him like this. If he had been in his adult form, Lina's actions would have been one thing.

But he was only a six-year-old child now. Lina's behavior seemed rather perverse.

Suddenly, just as Lina's finger touched Mu Tianchen's chin, an intense holy aura erupted.

Roar— A powerful dragon's roar burst from Mu Tianchen's body. Then, a platinum holy dragon erupted from within him. After circling once in midair, it fiercely charged toward Lina.

"Hmph! A mere dragon soul dares dream of harming me?"

Seeing the dragon soul, Lina snorted coldly. She raised a finger and pointed directly at the platinum dragon. In an instant, an overwhelmingly powerful burst of energy erupted.

Boom— In only a moment, that holy dragon, as imposing as an abyss and a prison, was blasted apart by a single finger.

Not only that, but Mu Tianchen himself was sent flying by that powerful energy.

At the critical moment, Mu Tianchen mobilized the Soul Power within his body, condensing it into a platinum shield before him in an attempt to block Lina's terrifying strike.

However, his Soul Power was ultimately too weak. In only a moment, the platinum shield he had formed by exhausting all his Soul Power was instantly shattered by that terrifying finger.

At that instant, Mu Tianchen felt the blood and energy throughout his body violently churn. Even his bones had nearly been shattered by that strike.

"Hehe, what pure Light Attribute Soul Power. Little brother, could you give big sister the Soul Power inside your body?"

As Lina looked at Mu Tianchen, a powerful seductive force suddenly erupted from her eyes. In that instant, Mu Tianchen felt as though someone had taken control of his mind, and he involuntarily began walking toward Lina.

Mu Tianchen's face instantly turned pale. He had never imagined that merely going to the restroom would lead to such a situation. His luck truly was terrible.

However, at that moment, another equally powerful burst of Soul Power erupted.

"Hmph! Since when did Evil Soul Masters dare appear so openly in public?"

Along with that powerful fluctuation of Soul Power, a soft snort echoed through the space.
