March 7th was not truly naive. She understood that some things couldn't be told to others. If asked a crucial question, she would likely become more guarded. Her pureness, straightforwardness, liveliness, and kindness were all rare qualities and why she was so beloved, but that didn't mean she was completely defenseless toward strangers. Even if the other party knew Lu Jingming, it was impossible to trick her into revealing everything without reservation.
Meanwhile, the battle was nearing its end.
The Golden Dragon Spear in Wang Qiuer's hand instantly transformed into a golden dragon, piercing Yu Tianlong's body with lightning speed.
Next to him, Xing Yan's lips were a bruised purple, and his face was ashen, a clear sign that he had been hit by Meng Hongchen's cold poison. If his top-tier beast martial soul hadn't given him such a powerful physique, he would have already collapsed.
Seeing Yu Tianlong defeated, Xing Yan's last burst of strength instantly gave out. His vision went black, and the combination of the poison and his severe injuries caused him to disintegrate into light, leaving behind only a Revival Chip.
Yu Tianlong looked down at the heart pierced by the Golden Dragon Spear. Due to his powerful physique, he didn't die immediately, but he knew he had been defeated. And by a female dragon soul master of his own age, no less. Yu Tianlong's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to ask for Wang Qiuer's name, but all that came out was a mouthful of blood.
With the disappearance of the seven streaks of light, the entire Heavenly Dragon Sect Team was eliminated. With their original strength, the Heavenly Dragon Sect Team had a good chance of making it to the top in this Battle Royale. It was just a shame that they encountered the St. Freya Academy Team Two so early on.
"Take the supplies. Follow us, and we'll guarantee you a spot in the top ten." Wang Qiuer didn't refuse the deal she had made with Ye Lingling. Although Yu Tianheng and the others were relatively weaker, they were still a force to be reckoned with and might be useful at a crucial moment.
Besides the Heaven Dou Imperial Team and the Heavenly Dragon Sect Team, other teams were likely lurking nearby, eyeing the high-level supplies. However, most teams were wary of the power of Wang Qiuer and her teammates and ultimately chose to give up. The teams that were actually strong enough to compete for the supplies had already been secretly persuaded to back off by Robin and March 7th. As a result, the St. Freya Academy Team Two smoothly acquired the first material chest.
Compared to the exciting encounters of March 7th and Robin, the situation on Lu Jingming's side was much more boring.
The Holy Spirit Cult Team truly lived up to its name as a team of evil soul masters. Any unlucky team that encountered them was not spared. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit Cult Team was exceptionally strong, with two Soul Emperors, four Soul Kings, and a single Soul Sect, Huo Yuhao.
However, in this team, the most threatening one was paradoxically the one who seemed to be the weakest, Huo Yuhao.
Among the Soul Emperors, there was Yan Feng with the Bone Dragon. The other, who attacked with a dark blue silver grass, was undoubtedly Tang Ya. She had joined the Holy Spirit Cult not long ago, but her strength had progressed by leaps and bounds. No wonder she had already reached the rank of Soul Sage, and a high-level one at that, when she appeared at the Mingdou Soul Master Tournament a few years later.
One must know that the further a soul master cultivates, the slower their progression. Tang Ya was not even considered a core disciple of Shrek Academy and wasn't even qualified to enter the inner court. Yet, in just over a year since joining the Holy Spirit Cult, she had become a Soul Emperor. Her cultivation speed was simply jaw-dropping. Although this was partly due to the Holy Spirit Cult's full support, it was also thanks to the unique devouring abilities of her dark blue silver grass martial soul.
The Tang Sect had always insisted on having someone with the blue silver grass martial soul as the sect master. While this was a bit laughable, a mutated martial soul had indeed appeared in this generation. However, the dark blue silver grass was an evil martial soul. It could devour the enemy's blood, soul power, vitality, and even their soul to increase its own strength.
Of course, possessing an evil martial soul didn't mean one would necessarily become an evil soul master. It was entirely up to the soul master's choice. And Tang Ya, for revenge, had clearly chosen the path of an evil soul master.
Initially, she had been restrained, only seeking revenge against her enemies and not devouring other innocent people. But after being discovered and brought into the Holy Spirit Cult by the Five Reverends, she lost the right to choose for herself.
Although the Holy Spirit Cult valued Tang Ya and even made her a Holy Maiden, they were only interested in the potential of her dark blue silver grass martial soul and the powerful combat ability she could bring once she grew stronger. Therefore, not long after Tang Ya joined the Holy Spirit Cult, she was controlled by the cult's secret arts and medicines. After all, her heart was only with the Tang Sect, and it was impossible for her to sincerely join the Holy Spirit Cult.
The cult leader, Zhongli Wu, could see this at a glance. Thus, Tang Ya was destined to be a puppet Holy Maiden, especially since she kept obsessing over her Tang Sect.
Unlike Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao had joined the Holy Spirit Cult of his own free will. Moreover, because he was the disciple of Dragon God Douluo, Mu En, he received special treatment. The two strongest pillars of the Holy Spirit Cult at this stage took special care of him. In this situation, Zhongli Wu genuinely planned to groom Huo Yuhao as his successor.
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the black-haired girl next to him. To be honest, he hadn't expected to meet his Teacher Xiaoya in the Holy Spirit Cult. Unlike him, however, Tang Ya's memory had been mostly erased, and she didn't recognize him. But perhaps subconsciously, Tang Ya was more obedient to him than to anyone else.
"Yo, another batch of prey has been delivered to us!" As they moved toward the center of the island, the Holy Spirit Cult Team discovered another team. Without a moment's hesitation, they immediately surrounded them. Along the way, any team discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult Team had no chance of escaping their clutches.
"Crap, we've been found! Retreat!" Not far away, Tang San's expression changed instantly. His Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record cultivation made his senses incredibly sharp. The moment he noticed the Holy Spirit Cult Team, he felt a huge threat, instantly realizing he had run into a powerful team.
"Trying to run? Did you ask us if we agreed?" Lich King Xiaolei of the Holy Spirit Cult Team sneered. He extended his withered right hand and casually grabbed at the air. With a violent fluctuation of soul power, hands of white bone broke out of the ground. Like a pair of ferocious claws, they reached for Tang San and his team.
"Holy cow, what is this thing!" Ma Hongjun yelled in surprise, scared by the bones that suddenly emerged from the ground. He quickly jumped into the air and spat roaring flames at the ground.
Tang San's expression turned grim. He slammed his hand on the ground, and purple-blue blue silver vines instantly shot up from the earth, meeting the bone hands.
"Hmm, the blue silver grass martial soul?" Seeing the bone hands blocked by the blue silver vines, Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed slightly. He subconsciously glanced at Tang Ya next to him. Then, his gaze fell on Tang San.
For some reason, the moment he saw Tang San, an unknown rage surged in Huo Yuhao's heart, and a hint of disgust unconsciously appeared in his eyes. Although he didn't know why he felt this way, Huo Yuhao chose to follow his intuition.
"Teacher Xiaoya!" Huo Yuhao called softly.
Tang Ya, who was next to him, immediately pulled back her black hood, revealing a beautiful but somewhat pale face. Her eyes were empty as she looked toward Tang San. With her six soul rings appearing one after another, a strong smell of blood filled the air. The black-red dark blue silver grass, like a tidal wave, erupted from the ground in an overwhelming manner. These dark blue silver grasses were like massive dark pythons, savagely tearing through the earth as they madly surged toward Tang San and his team.
"A Soul Emperor, and also the blue silver grass martial soul? Am I dreaming?" Ning Rongrong, holding her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was providing support soul skills to Tang San and the others. Seeing the powerful vine tide unleashed by Tang Ya, she couldn't help but gasp in shock. This was the first time she had seen a blue silver grass soul master other than Tang San, and one who had reached the level of a Soul Emperor.
"It's different. This is definitely not a simple blue silver grass martial soul!" Tang San's expression grew even more serious. One Soul Emperor was bad enough, but he clearly felt that Tang Ya's blue silver grass martial soul was vastly different from his own.
"Little San, what should we do?" Dai Mubai swung his tiger claws. White light tore through the air, cutting down the blue silver vines rushing toward them. However, the number of vines was endless. At this rate, they would be exhausted to death sooner or later.
"Little Ao, quickly make some flying sausages! We need to get out of here!"
Tang San made a quick decision. Not only was their opponent a Soul Emperor with the same blue silver grass martial soul, but the other members were also not easy to deal with. At this moment, the only way out was to run.
Oscar heard the command and immediately made a few flying sausages, handing them to Tang San and the others.
Seeing Tang San and his team grow wings and escape at high speed, a mocking smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips. Trying to escape after being locked on by his spiritual power was a pipe dream.
The Holy Spirit Cult Team pursued them calmly and without haste. With Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, Tang San and the others were desperately fleeing, but no matter what they did, they couldn't shake off their pursuers.
"Split up and escape! As long as one person survives, we still have hope."
After a long time of running without being able to shake off the pursuit, Tang San immediately understood that they had been located. In desperation, he decided to have everyone split up and flee. The tournament had a revival mechanism. As long as one of them survived, they could come back to collect their teammates' Revival Chips and resurrect them.
Of course, this was all on the condition that their Revival Chips weren't picked up by their opponents, so Tang San had to take a gamble. He was betting on the arrogance of their opponents, betting that they would not bother to pick up the Revival Chips. As for turning around and fighting to the death, that was a joke. Their opponents had two Soul Emperors and four Soul Kings. They had no chance of winning at all.
