The Holy Spirit Reappears

A blue light flickered within the thick smoke.

As the smoke dissipated, everyone finally saw the true form of the light: an indigo protective shield. Inside the shield, the figures of the selected team members appeared before them.

This protective shield is a group defense Soul Tool specially made by the Spirit Contract Pagoda. It is a Level 7 Soul Tool that can immediately release a protective shield when it senses that its owner is in danger, enveloping the user and a group of people around them, thereby defending against attacks from the enemy.

Simply put, this group defense Soul Tool is a group Invincible Barrier.

Actually, this Soul Tool should usually be used by multiple people. This way, Soul Power can be saved when releasing the protective shield, and the defensive power will not decrease when the protective shield expands.

However, because Shrek had not yet grasped some of their concepts regarding Soul Tool, Xu Xingyu was unable to persuade everyone to get one, so she could only rely on herself and Jiang Nannan to maintain the protective shield.

However, judging from their rather disheveled state, this group defense did not block all the explosive damage.

There's no way to use the protective shield formed by the Soul Power provided by two people; it would be very difficult to protect seven people.

At the same time, because the defensive range has expanded, the defensive power provided by the shield has also decreased.

Therefore, it can be seen that each of the main players suffered some kind of injury.

Chen Zifeng was closest to the explosion, lost his right leg completely, while Gongyang Mo, being a support character, was more vulnerable and was severely injured and lost consciousness at the moment of the explosion.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who were stronger, fared somewhat better, but they still suffered quite a few injuries.

Because Ling Luochen was relatively close to Jiang Nannan and Xu Xingyu, he only suffered minor scratches.

As for Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan, who were the instigators, they stood almost unharmed, coldly looking at the so-called Emissary of the Death God.

The Emissary of the Death God looked at the starting lineup and roared, "How is this possible!"

"The Corpse Explosion I meticulously planned this time should theoretically be unstoppable even by Soul Saint! How could none of them have died? And how could some be almost completely unharmed? What kind of Soul Tool is that?!"

However, while the Evil Soul Master's attention was still on the regular team members, countless rocks had already surrounded Evil Soul Master.

It seems that Xuan Zi has made his move.

With a face full of resentment, Xuan Zi slowly walked towards the Evil Soul Master. Although his lovely students had all survived thanks to Xu Xingyu, it did not stop him from venting his anger on the bastard who had hurt his students.

Seeing this, the Evil Soul Master immediately tried to break free, but those rocks were constructed from the earth element Soul Power of the Xuan Zi, and he, as a Soul King, was not qualified to break free.

Therefore, he could only watch as the enraged Xuan Zi and the nine gleaming Soul Ring behind him unleashed a deadly punch filled with Soul Power towards him.

At this moment, this Evil Soul Master, who called himself the Emissary of the Death God, felt for the first time in his life how close he was to death.

Did those who died at his hands feel the same way before they died?

Just as he was still filled with fear of his impending death, the Xuan Zi's voice rang out again. "The Emissary of the Death God, is that it? Since you are one of death's men, then I will personally send you to meet the death god you so deeply worship!"

After saying that, a huge, earth-yellow fist made of Soul Power began to smash towards the trembling Evil Soul Master.

Soon, with a tremendous roar, a huge crater replaced the location of the Evil Soul Master.

The crowd present couldn't help but marvel at Xuan Zi's formidable strength. He truly lived up to his title as the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Sea God Pavilion at the Shrek Academy. With his cultivation as a Level 98 Super Douluo, he had utterly obliterated the Evil Soul Master's body with a single punch!

However, Xu Xingyu noticed Xuan Zi's strange expression and realized something was wrong, so she hurriedly shouted, "Don't let your guard down!"

Although those present did not notice anything amiss, it did not stop them from becoming vigilant about their surroundings. After all, they were still deep within enemy territory, and if anything went wrong, they would be finished.

Just then, a black crack appeared before everyone, and a blond young man with a gentle and refined appearance but who gave off a hypocritical feeling walked out of the crack.

The young man was holding the unconscious Evil Soul Master in his right hand, while on his left was a pale-faced boy who exuded an evil aura.

The moment this person appeared, everyone could feel a powerful aura spreading through the cave—an aura of intense malice and killing intent.

Just then, the blond-haired youth said, "I'm sorry, this person is still useful to our Holy Cult, so we can't let you eliminate him yet."

"The Holy Cult?" Xuan Zi exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that you are a member of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

This surprised the blond-haired youth, who said, "You actually know about us? Are you from the Spirit Contract Pagoda or Shrek? Wait, look at those green school uniforms, you must be from Shrek."

"The Soul Master Tournament is just a few days away, and you actually have the leisure to hunt down Evil Soul Master? You're really too confident in yourselves. With this unexpected incident, your team members have all been reduced to cripples."

"You still have the energy to participate in the Soul Master Tournament? I think you should just go wash up and go to bed! With only reserve members left, you simply don't have the ability to protect your so-called Shrek glory in the competition."

"You!

Hearing the sarcasm from the blond youth, Xuan Zi, who was already in a bad mood, became even more irritable!

"Only members of Shrek are allowed to criticize us Shrek. Who do you think you are, you Holy Spirit Cult members who only hide in the shadows and harm innocent civilians!"

After speaking Xuan Zi immediately released his eighth Soul Skill, Meteor Direct Strike. Yellow light flashed behind Xuan Zi and instantly formed countless huge yellow light orbs, turning into a large meteor shower that rushed towards the young man who appeared to be from the Holy Spirit Cult.

It was obvious that Xuan Zi dared not hold back in the slightest, because the being before him was able to save the Emissary of the Death God without Xuan Zi's knowledge.

This means that the young man in front of him should be a Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master. Perhaps the other party's level is not as high as his, but Xuan Zi does not want to repeat the same situation as before.

Therefore, he immediately used his eighth Soul Skill to eliminate the opponent. Of course, considering that this was a cave, Xuan Zi slightly adjusted his Soul Skill so that the range of his Meteor Shower Soul Skill was not as wide as it would normally be.

Otherwise, if he unintentionally hurts his already injured students, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

The blond-haired youth merely smiled, and eight spider legs extended from his back.
