Death's Envoy Still Reigned Supreme
Several days passed quietly, and the Heavensea Alliance Tournament continued in full swing.
Di Qiuer went on a winning streak in the individual competition, defeating her opponents with a single punch.
Since their crushing defeat in the exhibition match, the students of the Shrek Academy have been trying to prove themselves, but to no avail.
Yin Hongye always appeared calm and composed, seemingly idle, but her gaze was always fixed on Tang Wulin.
These past few days, Tang Wulin has been either participating in three-person competitions with Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, or competing alone in individual competitions.
Finally, it's time to participate in the forging competition.
He was completely unaware that two people standing at the pinnacle of the continent's combat power were squatting beside him, both of whom wanted the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core within him.
Di Tian never found a suitable opportunity to make a move, after all, he was staying at the same hotel as Yin Hongye.
With so many people around, he didn't want to expose himself in front of everyone.
Di Qiuer had finished her match and was sitting obediently in the rest area with a cup of milk tea in her hand.
As Qian Renxue watched the competition, she felt that the talents of these Soul Master were far superior to those of her own era. At the age of eleven or twelve, most of them were already at the second or even third ring level.
She looked at Yin Hongye with a puzzled expression and asked, "You said before that Shrek Academy would only send three regular players and seven reserve teammates to the competition. Did Shrek Academy look down on their opponents that much back then?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Hongye laughed and said, "Indeed, you look down on your opponent..."
Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Screen, the entrance to the Death's Hand base resembled a gaping black maw, awaiting others to enter.
Ma Xiaotao walked at the front, Flame rising from her palms, illuminating the entire passageway. Dai Yueheng followed behind her, with Ling Luochеn, Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, Xi Xi, the five main players, following in turn. Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu, the six reserve team members, brought up the rear.
They all knew their mission: to defeat the Evil Soul Master.
As for why Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao weren't there, it was entirely because the other two had Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which allowed them to defeat the group without Huo Yuhao's support.
Outside the cave, under a crooked Pine Tree, Xuan Zi lay on a flat rock. In front of him was a plate of chicken legs, and in his hand he held a red wine gourd.
He poured himself a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said, "These kids shouldn't have a hard time taking down a Soul King."
Xuan Zi listened to the faint sounds of Soul Skill exploding and a few short, sharp shouts coming from the cave, but he didn't even lift his eyelids.
He's just a Soul King, what could possibly happen to him?
Just as he relaxed, a loud explosion came from inside the cave, and flames shot out of the cave entrance.
"How is this possible!" Xuan Zi's pupils dilated in disbelief, and he rushed straight into the cave.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye began to recount the story of the Death's Hand, saying that it was all a matter of timing and fate.
"They were originally seven proper members of the team." His voice was utterly calm. "Before participating in the competition, they carried out a mission for the Shrek Inspection Corps."
"What opponent? Isn't the one who leads the team a titled Douluo?" Qian Renxue wondered, these are already titled Douluo, could it be that they are going to destroy the titled Douluo? Isn't it just a burden to lead the students?
"The opponent is Soul King, led by the former Sea God Pavilion Master, who was also Level 98 Super Douluo at the time." Yin Hongye's shoulders trembled. He was professionally trained and generally didn't laugh unless he couldn't help it.
"Although Evil Soul Master are stronger than ordinary Soul Master, well, the main problem is that Xuan Zi isn't reliable enough." Mu Hongchen also suppressed a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Mu En felt like the sky had fallen. That idiot Xuan Zi had Sea God Pavilion Master!
Furthermore, it resulted in injuries to four trainees.
But then came even more devastating news.
"That's right. Thanks to Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, the selected team members at the front have all suffered injuries of varying degrees," Yin Hongye added. "That Evil Soul Master is called the Death's Envoy, and he has a Soul Skill called Corpse Explosion."
"The stronger the corpse was in life, the greater the explosive power. The most terrifying thing is that the liquid produced after the explosion is extremely corrosive, like strong acid."
Mu Hongchen added, "Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are seriously injured, Ling Luochеn has internal injuries, and Chen Zifeng's right leg was blown off. Gongyang Mo's chest, abdomen, and legs are still covered in large areas of blood and flesh, leaving him disabled as well. Xi Xi's back is also a bloody mess. Yao Haoxuan is dead."
He looked at Yin Hongye and asked, "Hongye, do you have a similar Soul Skill?"
"Blood Explosion? It's useless. It can only blast living people when there's an absolute difference in Soul Power. What's the point?" Yin Hongye looked at his Fifth Soul Skill with disdain. Killing people is too limiting, and blasting living people is also too limiting.
This Soul Skill...
It's actually a dirty trick; the lives splashed by the blood from the explosion will have a chain reaction.
"Indeed, it's not very useful; it's only good for catching people off guard." Mu Hongchen thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed a useless Soul Skill.
The explosive power wasn't that great, not as great as Level 7 fixed-position Soul Missile.
Only Qian Renxue stood there, stunned. Level 98 student fighting Soul King, and she was actually beaten to this extent.
All seven regular players suffered this level of damage.
They're still able to participate in the major competition thanks to the incredible luck of their starting teammates.
"Hong Chen, let's go. I reckon the Skysea Alliance is scrambling to grab Shrek Academy's admission spots."
Yin Hongye smiled calmly. These students do have some talent. They couldn't get into the Shrek Academy, so they might as well come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
Easy entry, strict exit.
"That makes sense. What's the point of the Shrek Academy's assessment? If you can't keep up after entering the academy, you'll just have to leave." Mu Hongchen nodded, feeling that if you can't keep up, you'll just disappear on your own.
With that, the group left the stands and went to a private box.
Meanwhile, Mu En, standing outside the Heavenly Screen, almost straightened his back. It was only because he heard Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing that so many of his Shrek Academy teammates had survived.
Huo Yuhao is not here now.
This will only cause more damage.
He even thought that Bei Bei would be seriously injured in this competition.
Deep inside the cave, however, the battle had already ended.
"Hehehe! In ten years at most, even if you are Titled Douluo, you will have no choice but to bow down and submit to me."
As expected, the strongest Soul King, the Death's Envoy, escaped unscathed after fighting fifteen opponents single-handedly.
He truly deserves the title of the strongest.
The strongest Soul King across four eras.
Ma Xiaotao lay in the rubble, her body covered in corrosive liquid, the Flame around her long since extinguished, her right arm bent at an unnatural angle at her side.
Her eyes were closed, and her breathing was so faint it was almost imperceptible.
Dai Yueheng leaned against the rock wall three steps away from her, his flesh and blood a mangled mess, making it difficult to tell his front from his back.
Ling Luochеn knelt on the ground, his body covered with wounds of various sizes.
Deeper into the jumbled rocks, the four figures were completely still. Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, and Xi Xi were confirmed dead.
The six members of the reserve team were scattered near the cave entrance.
Bei Bei's right arm was bruised, blood dripping down the back of his hand. He pressed his left hand tightly against the wound, his teeth clenched. Xu Sanshi, having taken a heavy blow to the back, knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
Jiang Nannan leaned against the wall, her left leg trembling uncontrollably.
He Caitou's already dark face was covered in blood.
Dai Huabin suffered a cut near his eye, while Zhu Lu sustained a severe abdominal injury.
Ultimately, although the seven people did not directly face the largest explosion, they still fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Only Xuan Zi managed to control the explosion and went straight to chase after the Death's Envoy. Unfortunately, the Death's Envoy's nemesis didn't arrive today.
In the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye entered a room and looked at the two people inside, saying, "You seem to be having a good chat. How about writing your name on the Shrek Academy? I'll recommend you for admission!"
