Spirit City, Pope Hall.
Hu Liena stood in the center of the hall, head bowed, not daring to look at Bibi Dong. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force.
She had just asked her teacher for permission to go to the Slaughter City for training.
On the throne, Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Hu Liena, her purple eyes remaining calm.
She looked at her most prized disciple and slowly said, "No."
Hu Liena's body trembled slightly, and she abruptly looked up, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, "Teacher, your disciple—"
"With your current strength, venturing into the Slaughter City recklessly will only lead to your death."
Bibi Dong interrupted Hu Liena, "And there's a high chance you'll fall into a situation worse than death."
Hu Liena pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Bibi Dong rose from her throne, slowly walked down the steps, and came before Hu Liena.
"I'm pleased that you have this thought, and that you feel ashamed before you act bravely. But spiritual practice is not about reckless courage."
" The Slaughter City a place where you can't use your Soul Ring skills; there, you can only rely on yourself."
"Come talk to me about going to the Slaughter City when you can survive comfortably in Death Canyon."
Hu Liena's disappointment was obvious.
She remained silent for a moment, then finally bowed in greeting.
"Disciple understands."
"Go down," Bibi Dong He Yan and Xie Yue, you'll train in Death Canyon for a while first."
"Yes."
Hu Liena bowed again, then turned and left the Pope Hall.
Watching Hu Liena's departing figure, Bibi Dong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She was very pleased with her disciple's idea of going to the Slaughter City.
This means that Hu Liena did not become despondent and give up after losing to Lin Mo.
He still chose to diligently cultivate, attempting to Transcendence Lin Mo.
That's a great idea.
But one must never act rashly out of recklessness.
And while she was relieved, she couldn't just stand by and watch Hu Liena go to her death.
Even Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to guarantee a safe escape from a place Slaughter City.
Going there now would be no different than sending Hu Liena to her death.
Bibi Dong walked back to her throne, raised her hand, and rubbed her temples.
She couldn't help but think of the boy named Lin Mo.
That kid was indeed cunning. He clearly had the strength to win the championship all along, but he hid it for the sake of the Soul Bone, only revealing his true strength when the championship prize was announced.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find a second Head Soul Bone for Hu Liena.
Bibi Dong reached out and touched the Storage Soul Tool, and a pure white Head Soul Bone appeared in her hand.
The Soul Bone emitted a faint Psywave, indicating good quality and an age of around 50,000 years.
However, this Soul Bone was ultimately inferior to the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull that Lin Mo had taken away.
Moreover, there was no Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull that was so compatible with Hu Liena's Demon Fox Martial Soul.
Bibi Dong looked at the Soul Bone in her hand and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Few have been able to escape the Slaughter City over the years, not only because of the brutal competition within it.
For those who leave, there is actually an implicit, hard requirement.
That means that to achieve a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, clear the Hell Road, and obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain, one must have sufficiently strong mental power.
For the vast majority of Soul Master, Head Soul Bone is a prerequisite, and its quality must be quite high, requiring at least 50,000 years of cultivation.
Only in this way can one remain calm despite the effects of the toxins in the air of the Slaughter City and the activation of one's own killing intent.
Only then is it possible to traverse the Hell Road.
There's a reason why only eight people have successfully emerged from the Slaughter City the past thousand years and obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Slaughter City smells sweet.
However, this is not because of excessive sugar content, but because the air contains trace amounts of toxins!
The longer you stay in the Slaughter City, the more toxins will accumulate in your body.
It can make people increasingly excited, decrease their self-control, and even make them stronger under the influence of toxins.
If the toxins in one's body go out of control and erupt during the process of passing through the Hell Road, the consequences are unimaginable.
This is why she spared no expense in finding another Head Soul Bone for Hu Liena.
Without Head Soul Bone to enhance mental power, entering the Slaughter City unprepared is a guaranteed one-way trip.
This is also why she informed Hu Liena about the Slaughter City, but did not tell Xie Yue, who was Slaughter City than Hu Liena.
Because of her own Martial Soul, Hu Liena's mental strength is far superior to Xie Yue's.
Sheer Force into the Slaughter City without sufficient mental strength is a certain death sentence.
Bibi Dong put the Soul Bone back into her Storage Soul Tool and turned to walk back to her throne.
She needed to give Hu Liena some time; once she emerged from Death Canyon, the Soul Bone would be put to good use.
Alright.
Hopefully, that child can grow up quickly in Death Canyon.
One month later.
Deep within the Blue Silver Forest.
A dark shadow descended from the sky, landing heavily on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Tang Hao steadied himself, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Something's not right.
It's too quiet.
He had been to this forest more than once, and each time he came he could feel the rich Life force and the faint pressure emanating from the Blue Silver King.
But this time, there was nothing.
A faint, almost imperceptible smell of burning filled the air.
Realizing this, Tang Hao's heart sank deeper and deeper.
He started walking towards the very center of the forest, and the further he went, the stronger the ominous premonition became.
Just as Tang San's training in the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique was getting on track, Tang Hao was finally able to extricate himself.
Tang San's cultivation does not require his personal instruction for the time being; he can steadily progress by relying solely on his own training. Therefore, he set off for the Blue Silver Forest.
However, when he arrived at the place where the Blue Silver King should have grown, his unease reached its peak.
The Nightmare has come true.
The place where the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King should have grown is now just a charred crater.
Broken blue vines lay scattered around the pit, long since lifeless and withered.
Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted.
He walked slowly to the edge of the pit, squatted down, and reached out to grab a handful of scorched earth.
The soil was mixed with the remains of Blue Silver Grass, which crumbled into powder with a gentle pinch.
Blue Silver King —has been killed!
"Who----"
Tang Hao's voice was low, and his body began to tremble.
It wasn't out of fear, but out of Rage.
An uncontrollable rage rose from the depths of his heart, instantly overwhelming all his reason.
"Who did this?!"
Tang Hao, who had been forcing himself to remain calm, finally unleashed all the Rage he had been building up over the past few months.
