There's a reason why the Holy Spirit Cult was able to take root and grow in the Sun Moon Empire.
Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has students planted by the Holy Spirit Cult.
Dean Jing Hongchen was naturally aware of this matter, but the relationship between the royal family and the Holy Spirit Cult was intricate, and he had no way to completely expel them, so he could only turn a blind eye.
Sleep Nightmare Douluo, the Eighth Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, a Level 91 Titled Douluo.
The Sun Moon Empire suddenly began training Soul Master, and the Holy Spirit Cult also paid close attention to this matter.
Although the National Soul Master Class Competition was just a children's competition, he still managed to sneak into the academy to gather information.
He hadn't paid much attention to the matter before, but unexpectedly, he discovered a promising talent this time.
With his Divine Power, he naturally couldn't discern what Shui Ling's Martial Soul was.
However, after her opponent's Soul Power decreased, her Soul Power increased, a change that did not escape the eyes of Nightmare.
Therefore, he concluded that Shui Ling was a promising candidate for Evil Soul Master, and even planned to train her as a future saintess.
Out of "respect" for Jing Hongchen, a Titled Douluo, Nightmare did not take action at the academy.
Shui Ling left the academy for tonight's auction, Nightmare seized the opportunity to finally take control of her.
Nightmare was unconcerned about Shui Ling's resistance; once she was brought back to the Holy Cult, there were plenty of ways to integrate her into their family.
However, Nightmare underestimated Shui Ling's talent and failed to seal her Soul Power, which gave her the opportunity to ask Kong Xuan for help through her Martial Soul.
This has led to the current situation!
"Since you're going to refuse a polite offer and then drink the penalty shot, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"As long as you live, even the Silver Moon Douluo wouldn't dare to act recklessly in my Holy Cult Sect!"
Sleep Nightmare Douluo's patience ran out. He snorted coldly, and his withered fingers grabbed at the air. Instantly, the pitch-black Soul Power condensed into a giant ghost claw, which descended upon Kong Xuan's head.
The pressure of Titled Douluo is like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down; even with just a simple application of Soul Power, it surpasses the power of ordinary Soul Master's Soul Skill.
However, just as the ghostly claw was about to touch Kong Xuan...
"Zheng..."
A clear, melodious buzzing sound echoed through the night sky.
Suddenly, the silver pendant around Kong Xuan's neck lit up, and countless starlight-like runes surged out, weaving into a dazzling star map around him.
The ghostly claw struck the star map, but it vanished instantly, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"What?!"
Sleep Nightmare Douluo's crimson pupils suddenly contracted, clearly not expecting that he would have to use a second move to deal with a mere second-ring child.
"A level nine Defensive Soul Tool, it seems Kong Deming really values you!"
Sleep Nightmare Douluo's voice was deep. At this moment, the starlight gradually dispersed, turning into a semi-transparent light shield that enveloped Kong Xuan. The surface of the light shield was covered with patterns like the Milky Way.
This was the first level-nine Defensive Soul Tool that Kong Deming gave to Kong Xuan — Starlight Guardian.
That's right, it's the first one. Kong Xuan has more than just this one Defensive Soul Tool.
Therefore, Sleep Nightmare Douluo definitely underestimated Kong Deming's regard for Kong Xuan.
He had no idea that in Kong Deming's eyes, his grandson was not just a talented person, but a future god!
Therefore, if the Nightmare really hurt Kong Xuan, even if it didn't kill him, Kong Deming would definitely explode!
The Holy Spirit Cult is indeed very powerful, with more than a dozen Titled Douluo- level experts and two Limit Douluo at Level 99.
Kong Deming was only level 94, not even Super Douluo.
However, Ye Xishui, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, knew Kong Deming's terrifying strength and was also very wary of him.
If Ye Xishui knew what Nightmare was doing, she would probably want to kill it with a single blast of Death God's Light.
After all, if Kong Deming were angered, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult would likely face the risk of being wiped out by Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon.
"I'd like to see how many of my attacks your Defensive Soul Tool can withstand."
Nightmare's face darkened, and his Fifth Soul Skill was ready to be unleashed. A dark vortex spun wildly in his palm, as if it would devour the entire night sky.
The terrifying aura of the Titled Douluo froze the air within a hundred meters radius, causing trees to twist and crack under the pressure, and the ground to split open with spiderweb-like cracks.
However, just as he was about to unleash this Destruction blow...
Kong Xuan, who was inside the Soul Tool Shield, flipped his right hand, and a cylindrical object, dark silver in color and engraved with blood-red runes, slid out from the Space Soul Tool.
Sleep Nightmare Douluo's movements suddenly froze, his crimson eyes contracted violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Since the Holy Spirit Cult has taken root in Sun Moon, it naturally needs to adapt to local characteristics in its development. Therefore, these Evil Soul Master are quite knowledgeable about Soul Tool.
Therefore, he immediately recognized the terrifying nature of this shell. It was a strategic weapon capable of severely injuring Super Douluo; it was Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell!
"Senior, let us leave, or else..."
Kong Xuan held the cannonball in one hand, his Soul Power surging in the other, a maniacal smile playing on his lips, "Otherwise, let's test the power of this thing."
His voice was soft, but it sent a chill down the spine of the Sleep Nightmare Douluo.
The withered hand, trembling slightly from the Nightmare, flashed with fear for the first time in its crimson pupils.
"Boy..." Sleep Nightmare Douluo's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "You think you can threaten me like this?"
Kong Xuan did not answer, but increased the output of Soul Power in his right hand, and the blood-red runes on the surface of the Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell began to glow with a dangerous light.
The night breeze seemed to freeze.
A bead of cold sweat slid down the forehead of Sleep Nightmare Douluo, who sensed a resolute determination to destroy everything in Kong Xuan's eyes.
But in reality, Kong Xuan was just bluffing; he valued his life and wouldn't actually die with his opponent.
And at that very moment...
"Alright!"
A gentle yet authoritative voice, like a clear spring, resounded directly in Kong Xuan's mind. "He is not worth you doing this."
The instant the teacher's voice echoed in Kong Xuan's mind, he felt a vast, ocean-like power suddenly surge into his body.
This power belongs to Yun Ming, the quasi-god and the master of the Sea God Pavilion ten thousand years later.
Kong Xuan's body was glowing, in the literal sense of the word.
The incandescent light almost tore through the night sky; every inch of his meridians and every drop of his blood was boiling, as if thousands of stars were exploding within his body.
" Evil Soul Master deserve to die!"
Yun Ming's voice was icy cold, like a proclamation of divine punishment.
The scene of the Holy Spirit Cult attacking Shrek Academy with Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon ten thousand years later flashed through his mind, and he remembered Kong Xuan saying yesterday that Ya Li burned her Life in the final battle, perishing together with the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult.
At this moment, his hatred and anger towards the Holy Spirit Cult reached their peak.
