"Ziqi, how many people have passed the entrance exam?"
"Palace Master, so far, a total of six people have passed the assessment, but many people have not yet started the assessment. By the time everyone has finished the test, there should be about ten people."
Recruiting disciples for the first time, having ten people is not a small number, but compared to the one thousand people required by the main task, it is a little insufficient.
We still have to find a solution somewhere else.
While talking to Yang Ziqi, a voice came from outside the fog-locked maze.
"Flender from Shrek Academy has brought his disciples here to apologize."
It is rare that Flanders would sacrifice his face to do this for Dai Mubai.
Behind Flanders, the six Shrek members each had their own thoughts.
Among them, Dai Mubai was the most anxious. His entire right palm had lost all feeling.
He said to Flanders anxiously:
"Dean, the path that allowed those who failed the test to leave is still there. Let's go in through this path."
Flanders waved his hand and said:
"You said it was a path reserved for those taking the test. If we rush in, we'll only cause further disgust from the Soul Palace."
Although Flanders has a bad temper, it does not mean that he does not understand the ways of the world. It is because he has seen through the ways of the world that he is unwilling to live under someone else's roof.
The group waited quietly, but received no response.
Dai Mubai was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. Now the numbness had spread from his palm to his wrist, with no sign of stopping.
Just when he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to urge Flanders again, the white mist in front of them turbulently formed a blurry human figure made of mist.
This figure was created by Xiao Mu using his soul power and the fog from the Mist-Locking Maze.
"You're a smart man. If you dare to set foot on this path without permission, you won't leave alive."
Flanders smiled broadly and said, "We have great respect for the Soul Palace and would not dare to offend them in the slightest."
But his heart was pounding.
The reason why he didn't go in directly as Dai Mubai said was entirely out of caution.
Flanders was extremely grateful for his caution, otherwise not only would he fail to solve Dai Mubai's problem, but he and his group would also be implicated.
"Senior." Flanders didn't know how strong the figure in the mist was, but it was always right to call him senior.
He pulled Dai Mubai in front of him.
"Senior, Mu Bai was possessed by evil spirits while taking the Soul Hall entrance exam. He violated the dignity of the Soul Hall with his unbridled hands. I beg you to show some mercy. Mu Bai is still young, so please forgive him this time."
"Since you know he's just a jerk, then you don't need his hand."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai confirmed that it was indeed the Soul Palace that was causing his right hand to gradually lose sensation, and he immediately became furious.
He wanted to join the Soul Palace, but he didn't even pass the entrance examination. That would have been fine, but he was actually ambushed by the Soul Palace.
"You've done this to someone participating in the Soul Hall assessment. Aren't you afraid that no one will dare come in the future?"
When he said this, even Flanders couldn't hold it anymore.
If you weren't so naughty, this wouldn't have happened.
Moreover, the Soul Palace is recruiting disciples, so are you afraid that no one will come?
The figure in the mist waved his hand, and Dai Mubai and others found that the mist became much thinner, and in front of the Soul Palace Fortress, everyone looked in his direction.
"I remember this guy. He's so brave. How dare he interfere with the assessment?"
"I remember now. I also saw him using stones to interfere with the woman next to him. I said, how could the Soul Palace let such a person go?"
"Looking at him like this, I don't know what kind of punishment he received."
"Looking at his agitated expression, I know Soul Palace will definitely not hold back."
Those who had not yet participated in the assessment were discussing it, but the meaning was similar, which was "it serves you right."
Dai Mubai's face turned pale.
Neither strength nor reason was on his side, so he could only play what he thought was his trump card.
"I am the prince of the Xingluo Empire. If one of my hands were crippled, my father would never let it go."
As the prince of one of the two great empires, this identity is still quite surprising.
Many people whispered, wondering how the Soul Palace would handle this matter.
The misty figure grabbed Dai Mubai.
"Wait a minute, Senior."
Flanders couldn't just sit there and watch, so he tried to stop the giant hand in the mist.
Bang~
The moment Flanders came into contact with the fog, he was blown far away.
In terms of soul power level, Xiao Mu is much worse than Flanders, but he uses the power of the soul, and with the blessing of the Mist-Locking Soul-Mazing Array, he is definitely not something that Flanders, a Soul Saint, can stop.
The giant misty hand lifted Dai Mubai up.
The other people who came with Shrek acted as if they didn't see anything, and none of them dared to take action.
It's true that we are all classmates, but the person you offended is really too powerful. It's not that I am not loyal, but I really can't do anything about it.
Zhu Zhuqing watched Dai Mubai being carried away like a dead dog. She felt happy but also a little confused.
If Dai Mubai died here and she failed to join the Soul Palace, her fate in the future battle for the throne would not be much better.
"So what if he's the prince of a country?"
The giant misty hand brought Dai Mubai in front of everyone.
"Anyone who offends the Soul Palace, regardless of their status, will pay the price."
"Don't you think that slowly losing sensation in your right hand is too torturous? Since you came here on your own, I'll help you speed it up."
"What are you going to do?"
Just as Dai Mubai was about to struggle, he felt a piercing pain in his entire right arm.
His right hand slowly lost sensation because he was hit by an attack method recorded in Xiao Mu's "Emperor Soul Art" - the Soul-Eroding Curse.
Although his right hand appeared intact, the right hand of his soul was gradually corroded and turned into nothingness.
The soul lost its right hand, which was far more serious than simply cutting off the arm.
If a limb is broken, there is still some chance to regenerate the broken arm. Xiao Mu can refine the Shengcanbuque Pill that can regenerate the broken limb.
But if the soul level is missing, even changing a hand will be of no help.
But since he was anxious, Xiao Mu didn't mind helping him and letting him say goodbye to his right hand completely from soul to body.
"Ah~"
Dai Mubai let out a scream as his entire right arm was severed.
Xiao Mu threw Dai Mubai back like a dead dog.
"We in the Soul Palace don't worry about others being afraid of us. On the contrary, the more others fear us, the better. Your arm still has some value. It can be used to warn those who want to make small moves against the Soul Palace."
The Void Swallowing Flame appeared in Xiao Mu's right hand. At the same time, he took out several pieces of fine iron and purple gold copper, and fused these two materials with Dai Mubai's right hand.
During this process, the power of the soul continues to infiltrate it.
Finally, a twisted and strange big hand was refined by Xiao Mu. This copper and iron big hand was not a magic weapon. Apart from being strong, it had only one function.
Xiao Mu threw out the giant hand and smashed it deep into the fog-locking maze.
"Ah~"
When the giant hand fell, a scream was heard from far away.
Although Dai Mubai was also screaming, the scream that penetrated deep into everyone's heart came from this giant hand.
Anyone who hears this scream will feel extreme fear in their heart, and will be able to feel the endless regret contained in this scream.
This giant hand will be the milestone leading to the Soul Palace in the future.
This scream should make everyone who comes to the Soul Palace think a little more clearly.
