Chapter 384: Wang Dong Heavily Injured, The Sea God's Wrath!
For a Soul Emperor level soul master, this was nothing short of a nightmare.
Wang Dong had assumed that Wang Xiaolei would command the vengeful spirits to attack her. What she hadn't expected was that he was crazy enough to make them self detonate the moment they appeared, completely disregarding the fact that he himself was at the center of the explosion.
Based on Shrek Academy's research and interrogations of Evil Soul Masters, Wang Dong was certain that creating vengeful spirits especially humanoid ones was no easy feat.
Yet, this guy was willing to sacrifice them all, just to kill her?
She instinctively curled her wings around herself, using them as a shield. At the same time, she tried activating her fifth soul skill, hoping to transform into a Light Elemental Form, minimizing the damage from the explosion.
But the problem was this transformation took three whole seconds.
Under normal circumstances, three seconds meant nothing.
But in a life or death moment like this, three seconds were everything.
The explosive shockwave rushed toward her at terrifying speed.
Her wings were torn apart almost instantly, shattering into glimmering fragments before disappearing.
A Martial Soul breaking wouldn't kill her immediately, but the pain was excruciating.
Her face turned ghostly pale as she coughed up blood.
Her head felt like it was being smashed with a hammer, an unbearable pounding ache consuming her skull.
She couldn't stop herself from screaming in agony, her consciousness on the verge of collapse.
"If only... I could use an Invincible Barrier…"
The thought flickered weakly in her mind.
She crashed to the ground, gasping for breath, pressing both hands against her throbbing head, trying to regain some semblance of clarity.
The Crowd's Reaction
The entire arena erupted into chaos.
Most people hated Evil Soul Masters, considering them vile, merciless murderers.
Even among those who disliked Shrek Academy, many had been cheering for Wang Dong just moments ago, hoping Tang Sect could defeat these wretched Evil Soul Masters.
But now?
Was this really how Wang Dong's battle would end?
The majority of the audience refused to accept this outcome.
"Wang Dong! Get up! Don't let an Evil Soul Master defeat you!" someone shouted.
"Wang Dong, I believe in you! Use a soul skill on him!" another voice called out.
High Platform – Imperial Viewing Box
Xu Tianran spoke confidently:
"Hall Master Hongchen, in my opinion, this will be Holy Spirit Sect's first victory in their match against Tang Sect. Wang Dong will be eliminated any moment now."
Jing Hongchen nodded in agreement:
"Your Highness's insight is truly sharp. Since Wang Dong has already suffered such severe injuries, the referee should soon step in to declare Holy Spirit Sect the winner."
Then, Jing Hongchen's gaze shifted to Huo Yuhao, and he sent him a private mental transmission:
"Yuhao, what's your take on this?"
Jing Hongchen highly valued Huo Yuhao's intelligence, believing that true geniuses often had unique perspectives.
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then responded via transmission:
"Dean Hongchen, I actually believe Wang Dong will win this match. Wang Xiaolei will end up the loser."
He had closely monitored Wang Xiaolei's every action through his Spiritual Detection Sharing.
Huo Yuhao was certain Wang Xiaolei had been aiming to kill Wang Dong.
But instead, he failed to finish the job and only left her severely injured.
That meant he had already set himself up for death.
Even if the Sea God tried to hold back, allowing Wang Dong to face adversity and grow stronger, there was no way he would sit idly by while someone tried to kill his daughter.
Tang San only had this one child.
She was the last bloodline of the Tang Family.
And defending his daughter's life wasn't against the laws of the Divine Realm.
"Oh? Your opinion differs from mine and His Highness's," Jing Hongchen remarked in surprise.
He then chuckled.
"Well, we'll soon see who was right. Let's wait for the final result."
On the Stage – Wang Xiaolei's Shock
"What? You're still alive?!"
Wang Xiaolei stared at Wang Dong in disbelief.
He was genuinely stunned.
The vengeful spirits' explosions were devastating, so much so that his own sixth grade soul barrier had been destroyed.
And yet
Wang Dong didn't lose a single limb?
It was as if some mysterious force had been protecting her, preventing the injuries from getting any worse.
Wang Dong Awakens – The Sea God's Wrath
"Cough...!"
Wang Dong continued to spit blood, unable to answer Wang Xiaolei.
She wanted to fight back, but her body refused to move.
Then, suddenly
A golden trident emblem appeared on her forehead, radiating blinding golden light.
For an instant her eyes shone with divine brilliance.
Then, her injuries began to heal at an astonishing speed.
Referee's Hesitation
The referee had been about to declare Wang Xiaolei the winner.
He had prepared to fly over, ready to escort Wang Dong back to the Shrek waiting area for urgent medical treatment.
After all, the tournament organizers had a duty to ensure the contestants' safety.
But now?
As he watched Wang Dong's body recovering, the referee hesitated.
"…She doesn't look like she's about to lose at all. Did she still have a trump card left?"
Tang San Takes Over
At that moment
Tang San's divine consciousness fully descended into Wang Dong's body.
He had decided
He would personally punish the man who tried to kill his daughter.
The moment Tang San sensed Wang Dong was nearly killed, his rage erupted like a storm.
He had accepted that his daughter might get hurt in this tournament.
After all, pain and hardship were essential to growth.
But this wasn't just an injury.
Wang Xiaolei had actively tried to take her life.
That crossed the line.
Wang Xiaolei's Doom
A deep, commanding voice echoed in Wang Xiaolei's mind:
"You dared to try killing my daughter?"
"If not for me, her body would have already been shattered."
"Your crimes are unforgivable. You have sealed your own fate."
Wang Xiaolei blinked in confusion.
"Huh? Wang Dong, what the hell are you talking about?"
"'Sealed my own fate'? What's that even supposed to mean?"
Wang Dong's expression turned cold.
She was done talking.
She would let her actions speak for her.
Even with only a sliver of divine power, a God King's strength was more than enough to obliterate a mere Soul Emperor level Evil Soul Master.
Wang Xiaolei… had no idea what kind of monster he had provoked.
