In the woods.
As Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, the figure in black robes paused, but without hesitation, chased after her into the woods.
If it were just Zhu Zhuqing alone, she could easily deal with the attack by virtue of her Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master.
However, she also had Xiao Yan on her back.
Both their agility and speed were significantly hampered by him.
Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing was also very clear about this.
If she wanted to shake off their pursuit, she couldn't possibly take Xiao Yan with her.
With Xiao Yan dragging her down, she couldn't possibly shake off the murderer behind her.
"Tap tap tap..."
One after another, sharp arrows pierced the tree trunk, producing a series of muffled thuds.
Zhu Zhuqing carried Xiao Yan and leaned against a large tree, briefly concealing her presence.
However, this is not a long-term solution.
" Grandmaster, is that you?" Sensing the mysterious figure approaching step by step behind her, Zhu Zhuqing asked loudly:
"Why?"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand.
Xiao Yan is Grandmaster's disciple. Wasn't Grandmaster always very kind to Xiao Yan and Tang San?
Why did the Grandmaster choose to kill Xiao Yan after only six months?
Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's question, this time the Grandmaster did not hide anything and spoke directly.
A hoarse voice echoed through the woods:
" Zhu Zhuqing, this is not something you should be concerned about. Put Xiao Yan aside, and I'll pretend today's events never happened. You are still the pride of Shrek."
The Grandmaster slowly removed the black hat from his head, revealing a weathered face.
His once gentle eyes now held a deep killing intent as he looked in the direction where Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Yan were hiding.
Having passed the test of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Zhu Zhuqing had already understood her own feelings.
Seeing the Grandmaster pressing her relentlessly, she knew...
There's only one way to get Xiao Yan out of here today!
Moreover, she had to hurry.
She didn't know who in the Shrek Academy was trustworthy.
However, since Xiao Yan asked him to take him away, he would never abandon him.
She wouldn't be like that cowardly runaway, fleeing alone to a foreign land to escape everything.
"Wait for me a moment..."
Gently put Xiao Yan down and lean him against the tree.
Zhu Zhuqing touched Xiao Yan's forehead, then her Soul Power surged, and she dashed through the forest in a few flashes.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had chosen to take action, the Grandmaster's expression grew even more gloomy.
One after another, Hidden Weapon from Tang San poured out of her hand, shooting towards Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Zhu Zhuqing, who was alone, had increased in size several times over.
One after another, Hidden Weapon shot out from the Grandmaster's hand, but they were all a step too late, landing behind Zhu Zhuqing.
" Hell Stab!"
Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Ring flashed as she charged directly towards the location where the Grandmaster was.
As Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master, she was confident she could defeat the Grandmaster!
As she unleashed her Soul Skill, Zhu Zhuqing moved like a black lightning bolt, rapidly approaching the Grandmaster, her sharp claws reaching down towards Grandmaster chest.
"Call out!"
However, just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to approach the Grandmaster...
A hint of blackness rose in the Grandmaster's eyes, as if he had anticipated Zhu Zhuqing's attack. He leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding Zhu Zhuqing's attack.
Seeing the Grandmaster's movements, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.
How could he possibly dodge it?
Although the Grandmaster's Soul Power Level had broken through rapidly in the past six months, no one paid any attention to it.
After all, the Grandmaster's Martial Soul was too weak.
So weak that even after breaking through to the Soul Elder realm, he was still among the weakest in his realm.
"His farts are like thunder, Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"
The Grandmaster stepped aside, his Yellow Soul Ring flashing, and Luo Sanpao's figure appeared in mid-air.
A plume of yellow mist shot out and enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.
"Call out!"
The Grandmaster not only dodged Zhu Zhuqing's attacks, but also had the strength to counterattack.
The mist instantly billowed out, surging towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Faced with the poison gas released by Luo Sanpao, Zhu Zhuqing frowned, a hint of disgust showing in her eyes.
"Laugh!"
Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto a tree trunk beside her, using the recoil to leap high into the air. After a few maneuvers in mid-air, she escaped Luo Sanpao's attack range.
She hadn't expected the Grandmaster to possess such combat power.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Grandmaster as if she were seeing him for the first time.
Previously, she had only seen the other person as an elder who was good at theoretical knowledge, but now, he had become her rival.
The Grandmaster seemed to sense Zhu Zhuqing's surprise, and couldn't help but spread his hands, his face showing great excitement, and spoke to Zhu Zhuqing:
"Hehe, surprised, aren't you? In just six months! I've undergone a complete transformation!"
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't stupid. Seeing the Grandmaster's appearance and Xiao Yan's condition, she immediately understood what was going on.
The Grandmaster was able to undergo such a change is probably because of Xiao Yan!
Seemingly having suppressed his feelings for too long, the Grandmaster made no attempt to hide anything, his gaze towards Zhu Zhuqing filled with excitement and madness, as if he desperately wanted to find someone to confide in.
"You guessed right! My changes are all because of Xiao Yan! My good disciple!"
As the Grandmaster spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction where Xiao Yan was leaning, and gestured wildly as he said:
"My good disciple, I never expected that your Twin Martial Souls would actually allow me to break the restrictions."
Upon hearing that Xiao Yan Twin Martial Souls, Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged. After all, she had witnessed it firsthand when she was cultivating in the woods outside the Shrek Academy and already knew the news.
However, upon hearing the Grandmaster mention that Xiao Yan actually possessed Twin Martial Souls, both groups of people hiding in the shadows showed expressions of shock.
"Your Highness, would you like to...?"
Beside Xue Qinghe, the powerful figure whose face was obscured spoke softly, his tone tinged with excitement.
They never expected that their initial curiosity would lead them to a genius with Twin Martial Souls.
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in them. If Xiao Yan was a genius with Twin Martial Souls, why would Yu Xiaogang Xiao Yan still target him?
"Wait a little longer..."
On the other side, Dai Mubai, who was hiding behind the tree, trembled.
"Boom!"
As soon as the Grandmaster finished speaking, as if to show off, a black shadow gradually rose from behind him and slowly stood behind Grandmaster.
only.
This humanoid black figure appeared to have been dismembered, with only a faint black mist connecting its limbs and chest cavity.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the dark figure and recalled Xiao Yan's cultivation in the forest. She couldn't help but take a step forward, her voice trembling:
"This... this is..."
The Grandmaster seemed quite pleased with Zhu Zhuqing's shock, nodded excitedly, and said:
"That's right, this is my good disciple's Second Martial Soul! I've studied Martial Soul for so many years, and I've never seen such a strange Martial Soul before— Martial Soul that can actually be stolen?"
It was because of it that I saw hope of becoming stronger!
I will no longer be a piece of trash, and no one will dare call me trash anymore!
The Grandmaster's tone gradually became more impassioned.
Having fused with this Martial Soul for half a year, he knows best the changes in himself!
He himself became a genius with Twin Martial Souls!
The Grandmaster suddenly showed a sorrowful expression, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
" Little Yan... don't blame your teacher, the teacher had no choice..."
Tears welled in the Grandmaster's eyes, and his body trembled slightly as he expressed his resentment at being looked down upon.
However, no one paid any attention to the Grandmaster's explanation.
Zhu Zhuqing understood that this was just an excuse from the Grandmaster.
However, upon hearing the Grandmaster's words and seeing the Martial Soul behind him, everyone in the forest was utterly shocked, and even Xue Qinghe's breathing became a little rapid.
