Qin Ming's eyes widened in surprise. He could feel his Soul Power draining away faster and faster. After losing his Martial Soul, his body was like a bucket with an irreparable hole. Most importantly, he had no control over it at all. He had now lost control of the Soul Power within his body!
" The Mutated Martial Soul Blazing Gray Wolf, is not bad. It's almost a top-tier Martial Soul. With some additional assistance, it might even become a titled Martial Soul. It's a pity that it's going to be gone today." Wu Ling toyed with the sphere in his hand that sealed the Blazing Gray Wolf Martial Soul, and commented casually.
As is well known, in Wu Ling's research, Martial Soul is an ability that exists in the bloodline. In the past, he could extract the Martial Soul of others through " Knight of Owner " and " Rule Breaker ".
Later, through Medea and Xiao Fen's joint research, they developed a Magic Circle. The function of this Magic Circle was to extract the power from the bloodline. In other words, it could forcibly reveal someone else's Martial Soul, and then, by Knight of Owner, the Martial Soul could be freed from the control of that Spirit Master.
Unfortunately, at present, Wu Ling can only be used on Spirit Master whose Soul Power is lower than their own.
With a flick of his wrist, Wu Ling placed the sphere into his Storage Ring. Once he returned, he would give this Martial Soul to Xiao Fen for research, and then the Martial Soul would be transformed into Martial Soul Liquid that could be used in the Soul Transformation Device.
It wasn't until now that Shrek Academy members and the three education committee members reacted, because what had just happened was too fast. They never expected Wu Ling to suddenly make a move, and with just a simple palm strike, he had left Qin Ming, a Soul Emperor, completely powerless and stunned.
"Wait, something's not right, Qin Ming's Soul Power!" Meng Shenji was the first to notice. As the one with the highest Soul Power on the surface, and also a control-type Spirit Master, he was very perceptive about the changes in Qin Ming's Soul Power.
Soul Emperor, Soul King, Soul Ancestor...
In just over ten seconds, Qin Ming, who was originally Soul Emperor, began to fall in power. In the end, not only the Education Committee and Flender, who were Soul Douluo or Soul Saint, but even Tang San and the other Soul Elder could clearly notice the changes in Qin Ming.
Qin Ming felt a wave of weakness wash over him. His face contorted with panic as he frantically touched his body, as if trying to block something out, but all his efforts were in vain.
In the short span of several tens of seconds, less than a minute, every second felt like an eternity as his Soul Power drained away. In the end, he was no longer even Spirit Master; his Soul Power Level had dropped to zero!
With a thud, Qin Ming knelt before Wu Ling, his eyes filled with disbelief. In that instant, his pride and confidence vanished along with his strength. He reached out and grabbed Wu Ling's ankle, pleading tremblingly, "Give... give it back to me."
Even though Qin Ming is usually calm, composed, and polite, and even though he is fearless in the future and dares to challenge Ghost Douluo despite being above his level, he can't care about anything now, because he has already felt something more terrifying than death—the loss of power.
His own power, the power he had cultivated for over thirty years, was slowly draining away right before his eyes. Just now, he could clearly feel his once abundant Soul Power flowing out of his body, a feeling he never wanted to experience again in his life.
Apart from Qin Ming's pleas, the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. What was happening before their eyes was simply too shocking: a living Soul Emperor had been knocked down from his cultivation level with a mere tap from Wu Ling, the Holy Son.
Normally, falling in cultivation level wouldn't be a big deal, after all, there have been precedents of people falling in cultivation level after being seriously injured. But this isn't just falling in cultivation level, this is losing all cultivation level altogether!
Moreover, everyone present was shrewd. Having seen what Wu Ling was holding and hearing Wu Ling's own words, they came to the conclusion that Wu Ling had actually stripped Qin Ming's Martial Soul away!
You have to understand that sometimes, death isn't scary. Among the people present, Wu Ling knew of a few who would be willing to bravely sacrifice themselves, such as Qin Ming in front of him.
However, unlike death, everyone present had experienced the power and authority that strength brought them. In a sense, losing one's Martial Soul was more terrifying than death, especially in this situation where they were completely unprepared. Therefore, even people like Flender and Zhao Wuji were too frightened to utter a sound.
But there are always some people in this world who have seen through everything, disregarding life and death, power and authority.
" Your His Highness the Holy Son, although Qin Ming has been offensive, he is, after all, a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the leader of the Heaven Dou Imperial Fighting Team. It is not appropriate for you to make such a rash move." Meng Shenji asked with a solemn expression, but at the same time, his words were full of respect for Wu Ling, and he even used honorifics.
Although the questions were similar to accusations, Wu Ling wasn't angry with Meng Shenji because of his attitude. Instead, she patiently explained, "Commissioner Meng, you saw what he did from the Shrek Academy's perspective. Do you believe that if you continue to refuse Shrek Academy's admission, he will leave your Heaven Dou Royal Academy without hesitation?"
Meng Shenji glanced down at Qin Ming, whose eyes were filled with pleading, and nodded without changing his expression. "I believe you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ling kicked Qin Ming away. Now that Qin Ming's Soul Power was no longer protecting him, his physical condition was no different from that of an ordinary person. Under these circumstances, even though Wu Ling had already restrained his strength, Qin Ming was still knocked unconscious by Wu Ling's kick.
Flender quickly caught Qin Ming, and while keeping a watchful eye on Wu Ling, he took out some medicine and gave it to Qin Ming.
Wu Ling, however, remained indifferent to this and turned to Meng Shenji, asking, "Then why are you still protecting him?"
Meng Shenji shook his head and explained, "No, I'm not protecting him. I'm protecting our school's teachers. Before he explicitly said he was leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had always been a teacher at our school. Even if he wasn't Qin Ming, even if it were Qin Ri or Qin Yue, I would still protect him."
Because this is my duty as an education commissioner!
There's one more thing Meng Shenji didn't say: the Heaven Dou Royal Academy represents a part of the Heaven Dou Empire's face. If he can't even protect the teachers, how can he protect the students? How can he uphold the Heaven Dou Empire's reputation?
Wu Ling smiled slightly after hearing this, "Not bad. This kind of spirit is worthy of the chief instructor of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It's much better than some good-for-nothings. Don't you think so, you big good-for-nothing?"
As he spoke, Wu Ling turned to look at where he had come from. Yu Xiaogang was walking over with a gloomy face. In just a few minutes, he had regained his senses, but just as he sensed something was wrong and ran back, he heard Wu Ling call him a piece of trash. This caused his already unpleasant and depressed mood to be gradually overwhelmed by anger.
Especially upon seeing Wu Ling, he was reminded of how Wu Ling had rejected him, of Wu Ling's achievements over the years, and of Tang San, who had been severely injured and crippled by Wu Ling just a few months prior. His hope, his proof to the world, had almost been destroyed by Wu Ling!
All the resentment and anger that had been building up overwhelmed his reason in an instant. Coupled with the presence of two other people, this resulted in Yu Xiaogang roaring, " Flender, Er Long!"
Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, their tacit understanding remained the same as before. Yu Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang needed to call their names to understand what he wanted to do.
At the same time, Wu Ling understood his thoughts, and watched the Wu Ling's actions with great interest. " Golden Sacred Dragon."
