Zhongli Wu's Choice, Huo Yuhao Was Too Naive!

The moment the host announced the official start of the competition, Zhongli Wu felt a strong sense of foreboding.

As it turns out, the Holy Spirit Cult leader's intuition was indeed very sharp.

As an observer, Zhongli Wu could clearly sense that in just a moment, Tang Ya, the Death God Envoy, Yan Feng, and the others on the stage had all fallen into the illusion woven by Huo Yuhao.

What he found most unacceptable was that the Death God Envoy was launching a frenzied attack on Yan Feng and the others nearby while laughing wildly.

Yan Feng and his teammates were equally assertive, treating their teammates as if they were the contestants from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

They unleashed their strongest killing move right from the start, aiming directly to take their lives.

Zhongli Wu's vision went black, and his mood became extremely heavy.

Seeing the crowd fighting each other, Zhongli Wu suddenly stood up and was about to announce his surrender.

There's no need to continue this match.

To be precise, from the moment Tang Ya and the Death God Envoy fell into the Mirror Flower, Water Moon, the outcome of this match was already predetermined. The younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult, on whom he had placed high hopes, was simply no match for Huo Yuhao.

If they continue fighting, there will only be one outcome awaiting them.

That would be like Shrek Academy five years ago, staging a scene of infighting in front of tens of thousands of spectators.

In the Holy Spirit Cult's preparation area, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng looked at Zhongli Wu beside him and asked in a deep voice.

"What should we do, leader? Should we admit defeat?"

Everyone else turned their attention to Zhongli Wu, wanting to know what decision their leader would make in this situation.

Zhongli Wu glared at Huo Yuhao with murderous intent, wishing he could rush up and kill him right now.

However, Zhongli Wu was not a brainless guy like Xuan Zi. He knew what the consequences would be if he did this, so he ultimately endured it.

Under the watchful eyes of the Holy Spirit Cult members, Zhongli Wu shook his head slightly.

"There's no point in continuing. Let's just give up."

As he spoke, Zhongli Wu sat down, gave Zhang Peng an encouraging look, and handed over the task of admitting defeat to him.

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, it is naturally impossible for him to utter the words "admit defeat" in front of so many people.

Zhang Peng felt helpless, yet he had no reason to refuse.

However, just as he stood up to concede defeat on behalf of the Holy Spirit Cult, an unexpected turn of events on the field prompted Zhongli Wu to stop him immediately.

"Wait a moment."

Zhongli Wu stared intently at the arena, watching the Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya dominate the field. His brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Good news! Tang Ya has demonstrated formidable power and is dominating the Soul Master Competition.

The bad news is that the people killed by Tang Ya were members of their Holy Spirit Cult.

He watched helplessly as the Dark Blue Silver Grass released by Tang Ya pierced into Yan Feng's body, rapidly absorbing his Life Force and Soul Power.

Zhongliwu could clearly sense that his Blue Silver Saintess's strength had increased once again.

To be honest, among the Blue Silver Girl and the Fire Phoenix Girl, the Zhongli Wu valued the most was not Ma Xiaotou, the genius who possessed the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.

On the contrary, Tang Ya, whose talent was not particularly outstanding before becoming Evil Soul Master, but who possessed the Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul that could absorb the Life Force and Soul Power of others, was valued more by Zhongli Wu.

Tang Ya's Martial Soul has the characteristic that allows her to achieve the greatest improvement in the shortest amount of time, without any side effects.

As long as she doesn't absorb everything frantically, but instead thoroughly digests the Life Force and Soul Power she absorbed last time before hunting again, Tang Ya's mind and foundation will not be affected in any way.

Just like Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, after absorbing the Life Force and Soul Power of these two geniuses, Tang Ya's Martial Soul and talent underwent another transformation.

If Tang Ya can also use the contestants from the Holy Spirit Cult as nourishment this time, it will naturally be of great benefit to the Blue Silver Saintess.

Zhongli Wu stopped Zhang Peng from admitting defeat because he was hesitant about whether to take this opportunity to make the Death God Envoy and Yan Feng and others nourish Tang Ya to become stronger.

Zhang Peng and the others also sensed Zhongli Wu's thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, they couldn't help but whisper their thoughts.

"Master, these young people participating in the Soul Master Competition are already the strongest among the younger generation of our Holy Spirit Cult."

"If they all die in this match, although it will make the Saintess stronger, it may not be a good thing for our Holy Spirit Cult."

Before Zhongli Wu could speak, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo spoke first.

"Zhang Peng, what you're saying doesn't make any sense. The influence that a super strong person can bring far exceeds the assistance of several ordinary strong people."

"These guys should feel honored to be able to become nourishment for the Saintess to become stronger."

Zhang Peng's expression changed. He ignored the other party and looked at Zhongli Wu with a serious expression, wanting to know what his leader was planning.

Zhang Peng finally understood that internal strife is inevitable in any power structure.

All high-level power positions are filled by a specific person; for every person who rises, someone else inevitably falls.

This atmosphere is even more intense in the Holy Spirit Cult, which is permeated with the law of the jungle.

The reason why Ten Thousand Souls Douluo was happy to see the Death God Envoy and Yan Feng become nourishment for Tang Ya was because he didn't want to see these juniors rise to power.

If the Death God Envoy and others also become Titled Douluo, it will inevitably impact these existing high-ranking members and affect their status.

Since that's the case, let's just find a plausible reason and have them die at the hands of the Blue Silver Saintess.

Anyway, the Blue Silver Saintess and the Fire Phoenix Saintess are different from the others; the stronger they are, the greater the benefit to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongli Wu knew what Ten Thousand Souls Douluo was thinking, but he didn't care at all.

No matter how much his subordinates fight for power, it won't affect his position as leader; letting things slide is the best option.

However, just as Ten Thousand Souls Douluo said, as long as Tang Ya can become a super strong person, it doesn't matter if all his peers die.

Sacrifices are inevitable for the rise of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Well then, you little rascals are all better off now. Don't worry, I will remember your contributions to the Holy Spirit Cult."

In just a moment, Zhongli Wu's heart hardened like iron.

Looking at Huo Yuhao on the field, Zhongli Wu's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.

'Our Holy Spirit Cult is not Shrek Academy. Trying to provoke me like this? How naive!'
