Tang Ya was injured, Qian Ran was furious

The dark blue Blue Silver Grass attacked Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi fiercely.

Its offensive power far surpassed that of Bei Bei, the wielder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

Had any other battle-hardened Power Attack System Soul Master used the same martial soul against Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, they might well have suppressed the pair even with their combined strength!

Even though Tang Ya had yet to awaken her evil martial soul completely, her combat strength already far exceeded Bei Bei's and Xu Sanshi's.

Unfortunately, Tang Ya had far too little combat experience!

Tang Ya had only just grown stronger, and this was her first time controlling such a powerful martial soul in battle. Moreover, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul had originally been a Control System martial soul, and Tang Ya had no experience fighting as a Power Attack System Soul Master. Compared with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, two veterans whose teamwork was seamless, Tang Ya's attacks were far too inexperienced.

"Good thing we joined forces. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't even qualify to fight Tang Ya. With strength like that, even a Soul Ancestor wouldn't be much use." Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Shield was already covered in corroded patches from the corrosive, devouring abilities of the Dark Blue Silver Grass.

Only the Xuanming Shield could withstand this. Any other defensive martial soul would probably have been eaten clean through long ago.

Looking at Tang Ya's exquisite beauty, Xu Sanshi felt slightly stirred.

Tang Ya was so beautiful that even he felt temptation stirring.

But compared with Tang Ya's beauty, he cared more about the fortuitous opportunity she had encountered. His heartbeat suddenly quickened. He had a feeling that Tang Ya still carried that treasure, the one that could make someone rapidly grow stronger.

If only I could get that treasure!

"Xiaoya, stop resisting. It'll be better for both of us." Seeing Tang Ya resist so stubbornly, Bei Bei could not help feeling heartache. By now, her school uniform was soaked with sweat, perfectly outlining the flawless curves of her figure.

Tang Ya exuded a bewitching allure, and coupled with her Evil Soul Master powers, it sent all sorts of wicked thoughts springing into Bei Bei's mind.

The Evil Qi coming from Tang Ya was already enough to affect people's minds.

"Heh."

"Bei Bei. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to dictate how I live my life?"

Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei with disgust. She now understood why she had never felt that kind of affection for him all these years.

Bei Bei appeared refined and cultured, but deep down, he was extremely self-righteous.

People like him appeared gentle, but in truth, they viewed everything with an ingrained arrogance that said, "I'm always right." Walking the same path as him would naturally be fine, but anyone unwilling to keep following him would see the other side of Bei Bei.

"Xiaoya, you should understand your situation by now."

"Given what you are now, without me, the academy might even dispose of you as a menace."

"You're an Evil Soul Master. Don't you even understand that much?"

Bei Bei, too, was gradually growing irritable.

After fighting Tang Ya for so long, some unrefined Evil Qi had clung to him as well, making him increasingly agitated.

Tang Ya's disdainful, disgusted gaze drove him into a frenzy.

Tang Ya was so gentle toward Qian Ran, yet she treated him with such disgust and rejection. Those two completely different treatments infuriated Bei Bei.

No matter what, he could never let Tang Ya leave him.

"What a hypocrite you are. You just want to keep me by your side forever. Besides, even if the academy wants to execute me, I'm not afraid." Resolve filled Tang Ya's beautiful eyes. She had a mind of her own and was fundamentally different from Evil Soul Masters. If the academy's powerhouses could not even recognize that and still wanted to execute her, she had nothing left to say.

Right, there's still the Evil Soul Crystal Qian Ran gave me.

Tang Ya suddenly remembered the Evil Soul Crystal Qian Ran had given her earlier. Qian Ran had said that it contained evil soul origin and could help her evil martial soul evolve faster. If she encountered danger, refining this Evil Soul Crystal would also make her strength surge instantly.

Tang Ya took the Evil Soul Crystal out of her Storage Soul Tool.

There was no telling what material the Evil Soul Crystal was made from. It was dark gray throughout, with countless strands of Evil Qi inside.

The moment Tang Ya took out the Evil Soul Crystal, the air around her grew much colder. That evil presence left Xu Sanshi and the others utterly horrified. Xu Sanshi stared fixedly at the object Tang Ya had brought out, his heart burning with desire.

He had a feeling that if he refined it, his cultivation would probably advance by leaps and bounds.

"Bei Bei, let's attack together! We can't wait any longer!" Xu Sanshi shouted.

The two unleashed every trump card they had to stop Tang Ya from refining the Evil Soul Crystal.

Bei Bei was also terrified that Tang Ya would grow stronger and began attacking her without restraint. The force of those attacks made even Jiang Nannan, standing off to the side, tremble with fear.

Tang Ya's pretty face changed slightly. She had not expected Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi to be so cautious. They gave her no time at all to refine the Evil Soul Crystal.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were both growing reckless. Under the influence of Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass, their behavior was becoming increasingly frenzied as well.

"Pfft."

As the Soul Power in her body dwindled, Tang Ya gradually lost the strength to fend them off.

Tang Ya was injured and sent flying backward, and the Evil Soul Crystal in her hand fell at that moment.

Seeing this, Xu Sanshi hurried over to pick up the Evil Soul Crystal and slipped it into his Storage Soul Tool while no one was paying attention.

It looks like the secret behind Tang Ya's newfound strength lies here. Perhaps Qian Ran gave this to her, but now it's mine. Xu Sanshi was extremely excited. Tang Ya's combat strength just now had been tremendous. If she had possessed even a little combat experience, neither he nor Bei Bei could have defeated her.

Tang Ya's eyes were half closed, her heart filled with unwillingness.

It's all because I'm too weak. Otherwise, how could I have ended up so helpless?

The weak had to endure every grievance and humiliation. Tang Ya's desire to grow stronger intensified.

Because I'm weak, I can't even defend myself when Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi call me an Evil Soul Master. What if I were a Soul Emperor? Would they still dare to do this?

Seeing Tang Ya injured, Bei Bei hurried after her, intending to catch her in his arms.

But a moment later, Bei Bei stopped in his tracks.

"Sorry I'm late."

Qian Ran leaped up and caught Tang Ya securely in his arms.

Tang Ya's face was filled with exhaustion. The Soul Power in her body was almost depleted, and blood was still trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Qian Ran tenderly stroked Tang Ya's exquisite cheek and wiped away all the blood.

"I'm fine." Seeing that Qian Ran had arrived, Tang Ya fought back the hurt in her heart, but the tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably.

Do I really look that much like those Evil Soul Masters who have no humanity or feelings?

"It's all my fault. If only I'd come a little sooner." Holding Tang Ya tightly, Qian Ran's heart ached terribly. Tang Ya was his woman, yet he had failed to protect him.

In the original work, Tang Ya had not had many enemies, and Bei Bei had been a fairly decent person. Moreover, with Tang Ya's current strength, almost no one in the Outer Court could threaten her, so Qian Ran had let down his guard.

How could he have imagined that Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei would attack Tang Ya together?

Bei Bei kept proclaiming his love for Tang Ya, but he only loved himself.

Whatever reasons he had, none of them excused his attack on Tang Ya.

Tang Ya had already said she was not an Evil Soul Master, yet Bei Bei had still attacked her. He merely wanted to return Tang Ya to her original state so he could continue possessing her. As for what price Tang Ya would have to pay, he would hardly care.

He had thought Bei Bei was a decent person, but it seemed he had given him too much credit. You could know a person's face without knowing their heart. Where in this world could you find an absolutely good person?

Didn't Yu Xiaogang also appear refined and cultured to outsiders? As Yu Xiaogang's descendant, it was perfectly normal for Bei Bei to have inherited those deep-rooted flaws of his.

What a self-righteous bastard!

Fortunately, the system had warned him early. Otherwise, she really would have worried that Tang Ya, so stubborn now, would suffer even more serious injuries.
