Chapter 129 Abnormal Mental Power
Even if the Soul Guidance Department starts to catch up now, it may not be able to close the gap with the Sun Moon Empire by much. That is a scientific research organization fully supported by the country, and its talent training and education, as well as its resource reserves, are almost in a league of their own.
But if we don't catch up now, the gap will only widen. We can't expect the Sea God to suddenly descend and intervene in the wars between the nations of Douluo Continent, can we?
That sea god doesn't even care about the life or death of the Tang Sect he founded, so why would he care about Shrek Academy? Anyway, Mu En doesn't think so.
Before you die, leave some seeds and hope for Shrek.
A crack suddenly appeared in a canyon road on the outskirts of Xingluo City.
It was a dark gray crack, tens of meters high, looking as if space had been forcibly torn open, with irregular spatial rhythms emanating from it.
Seemingly resisting something, the crack was forcibly suppressed by an invisible wave, forcing it to heal, but it seemed to be a little too late.
The next instant, a huge creature crawled out of it.
-
This creature looked extremely bizarre, resembling a giant lizard with an exceptionally large head that took up almost a third of its body, and a length exceeding fifty meters. Its limbs were very thick, and it lay prone on the ground, its entire body covered in dense, grayish-black scales.
Its most distinctive feature is its eyes, which bulge outwards and appear to contain countless compound eyes, emitting a deep, eerie blue light.
The moment the creature crawled out of the burrow, its eyes suddenly blazed with blue light, forming a blue light film that instantly covered its entire body. Then, its enormous body simply vanished into thin air.
And that dark gray crack disappeared just like that.
"Tch! Is the vitality of Douluo Star in this era really that strong? Just sending out a single Abyss Spirit Dragon King is already the limit—"
"But that's enough. Let me see just how far Tang Hao and Tang San have progressed—"
Although his voice carried an air of superiority and complete control, it concealed a raging, barely suppressed rage.
Xingluo City, Xinghuang Hotel.
Shrek Academy has monopolized all Soul Master Tournament championships for ten thousand years. As the defending champion and the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, Shrek's participating students were arranged in the most luxurious room on the top floor.
Each person has a bedroom, and there's even a spacious conference room specifically for Shrek Academy to use for tactical planning.
At this moment, all the participating team members, along with their teacher Wang Yan, were sitting in the conference room for a pre-competition mobilization meeting.
Elder Zhuang sat at the head of the table, with Xian Lin'er and Zhang Lexuan sitting beside him. Behind them were Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen, whose faces were still pale.
They had all suffered internal injuries, and although they had received treatment from Elder Zhuang and recuperated, the rapid travel using their flying soul tools had actually worsened their injuries. Their recovery time might even be longer than expected.
As for the reserve team, apart from Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were the most seriously injured but insisted on participating, they were still resting in their rooms. The injuries of the others were not too serious, and they would be fine after about a week of rest.
Ma Xiaotao's situation is actually better. As long as she doesn't go all out on the field, she should be fine in a normal match. Besides, she still has Huo Yuhao by her side, who is a great remedy.
Xian Lin'er said in a deep voice: "————That's the situation. Elder Mu's idea is to leave it to everyone to do as they see fit, with your own safety as the priority."
The three people in the inner courtyard looked at each other, somewhat at a loss, but Huo Yuhao frowned and thought quickly.
Frankly speaking, in Huo Yuhao's opinion, the wisest choice for Shrek Academy right now is to give up on this competition and go home.
There's nothing shameful about it; even if people talk about it, there's a reason for it.
But the higher-ups didn't; instead, they planned to continue the fight.
Glory, glory, is that more important to Shrek Academy than the lives of their students?
Huo Yuhao suddenly wondered, what if their glory was lost here?
"iii, while Huo Yuhao was distracted, he suddenly sensed a very unusual fluctuation of mental energy flash by.
The feeling was like scanning someone with his mental energy, but the difference was that this mental energy was dark and profound, as vast as an abyss, yet hidden very deep, making him feel a stinging coldness rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He couldn't help but release his mental probe, trying to pinpoint the source of this spiritual energy, which immediately startled the people present.
Zhang Lexuan grasped Huo Yuhao's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Yuhao? Why did you release your soul skill?"
Not only Zhang Lexuan, but also Xian Lin'er and Elder Zhuang looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"—Teacher Lexuan, didn't you feel it? That very strong spiritual power—"
Xian Lin'er frowned slightly and shrugged naturally. "Star Luo City is the capital of the Star Luo Empire, so it's not surprising that there are experts skilled in mental power there."
Old Zhuang stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "Little Huo, have you been too tired and stressed lately?"
"Is that so? I guess so."
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. They were both elders, so why was there such a huge difference? This Elder Zhuang was many times stronger than that old man Xuanzi. Why didn't he let him lead the team before?
"Let's settle on this for now. Before Ling Luochen and Gongyang Mo recover, the team members will be Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Jiang Nannan, and Wang Dong, a total of seven people."
Xianlin'er made the decision: "Tomorrow's first match is the Shrek Academy elimination round. Please help me!"
After the group left the conference room, Ma Xiaotao pulled Huo Yuhao toward her room.
The official competition is tomorrow, so Ma Xiaotao thought she should make the most of her time and get her younger brother to help her recover as much as possible.
But Huo Yuhao hesitated and stopped when he reached the door of the room.
"I'm sorry, Sister Tao, I—I have to go out for a bit. You should go back to your room and rest."
"But Yuhao, the competition is tomorrow—" Then Ma Xiaotao seemed to realize something, looking at Huo Yuhao with a half-smile, "Oh, so you're going to call your aunt to come and see your heroic performance on the field?"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched a few times.
"No, well—never mind, I'll be back before dinner tonight."
Ma Xiaotao immediately stood up. "Then I'll go with you. It'll be good to have someone to look after you on the way."
But Huo Yuhao's attitude was quite firm at this moment, "No! Sister Xiaotao, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, you should rest first."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's extremely firm attitude, Ma Xiaotao didn't know what else to say.
"————Okay then, don't do anything dangerous."
After making the appointment with Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao quickly walked out of the hotel.
But after stepping outside and seeing the crowds of people coming and going on the street, Huo Yuhao realized that he hadn't been able to detect the source of that spiritual energy at all; even if he searched, he couldn't find it.
First of all, it can be confirmed that that person is definitely a master of mental strength! At least Huo Yuhao has never heard of a Soul Master with such power from the Star Luo Empire.
Is it from the Soul Beast side?
Spirit-type soul beasts are extremely rare, and those with a cultivation level of 100,000 years are even rarer. I remember that among the ten great ferocious beasts, there was only one that was good at spiritual power, namely the Evil Eye Tyrant, the Evil Emperor, who lived in the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire and had a cultivation level of 790,000 years.
Could it be that it has come to Xingluo City?
Huo Yuhao quickly dismissed this conjecture. If this person were to come to Star Luo City, he certainly wouldn't be able to detect it with his limited spiritual power. He was aware of this much.
This spiritual power is extremely profound and dark, unlike anything a human soul master could possess.
I remember there was a monster called Demon Spirit among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, ranked tenth, that lived in the Star Dou Great Forest. Could it be it?
Huo Yuhao only knew that there was such a beast among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, but he had no idea about its specific abilities or what type of human it was.
Forget it, let's just call for reinforcements.
After Huo Yuhao took out [Douluo World] and sent messages to Xue Di and Long Qiu'er, he discovered that the two were already in a nearby coffee shop.
That's not surprising. These two powerful soul beasts would definitely be interested in coming to see this grand human event that takes place once every five years in the Douluo Continent.
It was only then that Huo Yuhao realized something was wrong. He hadn't introduced Long Qiuji and Xue Di to each other yet—sit down together so abruptly—shouldn't that be okay?
For some reason, Huo Yuhao had a feeling that something terrible might happen next.
When Huo Yuhao pushed open the door, he naturally saw the two girls, each exuding a strong presence, sitting in a corner, sipping their coffee.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Long Qiu'er and Xue Di smiled simultaneously, raised their right hands and waved at him. Then they turned their heads at the same time, taking about two seconds to look at the person who had made the same gesture.
As an imperial auspicious beast, Long Qiu'er possesses the ability to shield her aura through the power of destiny. Coupled with the black dragon reverse scale given to her by Di Tian, concealing her aura is naturally a simple matter.
Xue Di, on the other hand, had a controller for the [Douluo World], and with the special nature of her race, she could naturally shield herself. Moreover, when necessary, she could also exert an effect similar to Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill. This is why neither of them noticed anything unusual about the other.
Long Qiu'er, with her left hand supporting her right elbow and her right hand pressed against her mouth, scrutinized Xue Di with a critical gaze.
Xue Di crossed her arms over her chest, elegantly crossed her legs, and looked deep in thought.
"Where are you from?"
""
With just this one sentence, Long Qiu'er seemed to have guessed who the other person was.
"I am the auspicious beast of the emperor, the three-eyed golden lion."
"Oh—so it's Xingdou's little princess who ran away—"
"Judging from your appearance, you must be the Ice and Snow Emperor."
"Hmm, that's quite perceptive. But this is human territory; the tricks used by spirit beasts won't work here."
"That's natural."
Fortunately, the two didn't erupt into the fight Huo Yuhao had imagined, but the atmosphere was far from harmonious.
Huo Yuhao forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry—I was really too negligent. If this causes any future problems, I will take full responsibility—"
The Snow Empress smiled gently and gestured for Huo Yuhao to sit down in front of her. "It's alright, you don't need to worry. I'm naturally very happy to be able to get to know the auspicious beast."
Long Qiu'er snorted, then stood up and sat down opposite the Snow Emperor, gesturing for Huo Yuhao to sit beside her. "Then I'll also be happy to meet the dignified Snow Emperor. But how could you possibly transform into human form with your cultivation level?"
Xue Di twirled the coffee cup on the table. "—Let's talk about that later. By the way, do you think Di Tian and the others will feel at ease knowing you've so rashly run out of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Of course, that lord issued the highest order, I—"
After saying this, Long Qiu'er didn't continue, shook her head, and promptly changed the subject.
"Let's get down to business. You should all have noticed that unusual spiritual energy, right?"
Xue Di and Huo Yuhao both nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll be frank. That spiritual power is strange. It's excessively strong, at least at the level of a spiritual beast. But in my memory, there has never been such a powerful soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."
The Snow Empress frowned deeply. "There has never been a spirit-type soul beast of such a level in the far north. Although it was only for a short time, I could sense that its spiritual power was extremely dark. To be honest, I don't think it's a spirit-type soul beast, but rather a ferocious beast of the evil or dark type—"
Long Qiu'er said, "Di Tian wouldn't bother coming to the human world. The Demon Queen's spiritual power isn't that dark. As for whether she's the Evil Emperor—no, she can't be the Evil Emperor. Although her name contains the word 'evil,' her abilities are all mental and have nothing to do with evil."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the two powerful soul beasts who were deep in thought, then raised his hand and asked, "I heard that one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts is called Demon Spirit, could it be it?"
Long Qiu'er shook her head decisively, "That's impossible. The demon spirit is still in seclusion, and it doesn't have that kind of cultivation."
However, I am curious about its motive.
"motivation?"
Long Qiu'er crossed her arms like Xue Di did, "That spiritual power was like—how should I put it? Like Yu Hao's spiritual detection, scanning and probing us, at least that's what I think."
Everyone knows what mental detection is used for.
"So, auspicious beast, you mean—the owner of that spiritual power is probing our true strength?"
Among the three, the one with the deepest foundation is undoubtedly the Snow Empress, who has cultivated for nearly 70 years. However, the Snow Empress is not a soul beast that is good at spiritual power. If we talk about the highest level of spiritual power, it is Long Qiu'er, who has the Eye of Destiny. If she says so, then the credibility is naturally very high.
Long Qiu'er said seriously, "It's not just us, it's the entire Xingluo City. I wanted to retaliate, but the other party noticed me, and it slipped away very quickly. I couldn't locate its mental power, and I don't know what it wants to do."
"1
To be honest, Long Qiu'er was a little frustrated. Although she possessed the super artifact [Eternal Eye] that her master had mentioned, and it was extremely compatible with her personality, her current cultivation level did not support her in using this artifact.
Moreover, she could sense that the artifact was not fully restored and was still slowly recovering. All she could do was use this super artifact to amplify her mental attacks and soul power.
This was all thanks to this divine artifact; otherwise, Long Qiu'er wouldn't have been able to discover what this spiritual force was trying to do.
