Inside the dungeon, it was dark and damp, with murky water droplets dripping from the walls onto the floor, making a crisp sound.
The sound wasn't loud, but it echoed repeatedly within the cramped dungeon, making it all the more despairing and suffocating.
The dungeon entrance was a narrow staircase, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. Water seeped constantly from the dark stone walls, and the damp, cold sensation felt like a drill, piercing deep into the bones, making one extremely uncomfortable.
The steps stretched downwards, and from afar, the endless darkness resembled a man-eating demon, its blood-red belly gaping, waiting for any unlucky soul to enter.
Deep within the outermost cage, the iron bars were tightly connected, each radiating a dark luster and giving it an extremely hard feel. A large padlock made of dark silver hung on the cage door, securing it firmly.
Inside the cage, Dai Huabin knelt on the ground, his long golden hair disheveled behind him. His face was covered in black blood, causing a few strands of hair to stick tightly to his face. His head was slumped, and only the rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
The cage, which was only five square meters in size, had two black iron chains binding its arms, which were suspended in the air. The lack of movement and the binding prevented blood from circulating properly, and the arms had turned a faint purplish-black color.
"Cough cough..."
Dai Huabin coughed violently, causing the chains on his arms to rattle loudly, which was clearly audible in the underground cell.
Dai Huabin slowly opened his eyes, spitting out a mouthful of foul blood that landed on the ground in front of him. The dark blood clots emitted a foul, fishy smell.
Dai Huabin quickly got a clear look at the harsh conditions inside the cage. He looked at the restraints on his hands again and struggled to lift them up. The heavy restraints left him helpless.
Dai Huabin frowned slightly, his eyes filled with anger, as if he were bound by something and was filled with rage. He gritted his teeth and violently swung his arm.
The chains on both sides snapped taut instantly, and sparks flew as they collided!
Amidst the violent collision, some dust fell from the cage ceiling. The powerful vibrations of the iron locks caused Dai Huabin's hands to go numb, and his wrists were immediately mangled and dripping with blood.
"Damn it! Damn it, damn it!..."
Dai Huabin roared in frustration, but he was still unable to break free from his restraints.
"Stop struggling. Do you really think you can escape with your meager strength, especially since your Soul Power is sealed and no one is helping you?"
A male voice came from the darkness not far away, with a hint of mockery in its tone.
Dai Huabin's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp as a hungry wolf, fixed on the direction from which the voice came. "Who! Who's speaking!"
Dark red lightning erupted from the intense darkness, illuminating Bei Bei's cold profile and revealing a mocking smile beneath her indifferent eyes.
Dai Huabin stared intently at Bei Bei, who emerged from the darkness, his brows furrowed and his expression wary. However, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from Bei Bei.
" Dai Huabin, don't you want revenge? You'll find out who I am in a moment. I'll just ask you one question now: Do you want revenge?"
Bei Bei's cold gaze fell on Dai Huabin through the sturdy iron gate, as if she were considering his options and waiting for Dai Huabin to make a choice.
Bei Bei's purpose in coming here was simple: to see if Dai Huabin, who had become Evil Soul Master, could become his ally. If Dai Huabin disagreed, he would immediately turn around and leave. He would then go and carry out his revenge plan alone, since he had already made contact with the other side.
He's finding an accomplice now simply to execute his revenge plan more quickly; he wants Huo Yuhao to experience what it feels like to lose a loved one.
Dai Huabin raised his head and looked into that cold gaze, as if he could see the burning flames of revenge burning through those icy eyes.
"Revenge? Who are you looking for? Huo Yuhao?" Dai Huabin sneered, not giving an immediate answer.
Bei Bei chuckled softly, her right hand transforming into a dragon claw. The scales, originally blue with gold tinges, had completely turned black and red, exuding a strong aura of evil.
"Or what? Tell me your choice."
Seeing this, and witnessing this overwhelming aura of evil, Dai Huabin no longer hesitated. He made up his mind, "I'm going out to seek revenge on Huo Yuhao!"
This shout, almost entirely filled with the fury of his victory, was uttered with the utmost force by Dai Huabin.
Bei Bei nodded in satisfaction, placing its right paw on the large, heavy silver lock, its dragon scales crackling with electricity. "Very good, I know your choice."
As soon as the words were spoken, a violent current surged towards the large lock, causing the temperature to rise dramatically. The lock quickly began to glow red and showed signs of melting.
With a sudden burst of force from her right dragon claw, the large lock was ripped off. Then, Bei Bei repeated the process, tearing apart the two chains binding her.
Dai Huabin's hands, now free of restraint, immediately drooped down. After a while, he finally recovered.
Dai Huabin stretched his arms, and the purplish-black color on his skin began to fade slowly. He then grabbed his clothes and wiped the dirt off his face.
"Come with me!"
Bei Bei gave a command, then turned and walked towards the exit.
Without hesitation, Dai Huabin immediately followed Bei Bei's footsteps, and soon the two escaped the dungeon and disappeared into Sea God Island.
Soul Fighting Zone, Xiao Xiao had already completed the assessment.
Thanks to the opportunity presented by the Dou Ling Festival, Xiao Xiao has reached level 30, but she hasn't acquired Soul Ring yet, so she's currently at the Quasi-Soul Elder level.
In addition, Xiao Xiao also Ten-Thousand-Year Bright Swallowing Hu Sparrow Soul Bone, whose Devour Heaven and Earth Skill is a dimensional reduction attack even against Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Xiao Xiao defeated a Thousand-Year Soul Beast with very little effort and received a perfect score.
At this moment, Mu Jin from Class 2 of the second grade looked extremely grim. There was no student in her class who could compare to Zhou Yi's class.
This made her feel like she was being overshadowed by Zhou Yi in every way.
Even the two class monitors in her class could only choose eight-hundred-year-old Soul Beast at best, which was incomparable.
Huo Yuhao quietly observed the Soul Fighting Zone, beginning to ponder his next step in completing the assessment.
How can I pass the assessment as an ordinary person without attracting anyone's attention?
This is a very serious matter, Huo Yuhao must have a strict plan in order to achieve his goal.
