Chapter 3288: Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast
Gui Mei took a deep breath, trying not to let himself be consumed by anger...
"You bastard, do you really take me for a servant??"
Xu Sheng waved his hand, "Elder Gui is joking. With great power comes great responsibility. To be able to command so many sea soul beasts, the leader must be exceptionally powerful. I am not necessarily the match!"
"Therefore, I can only trouble you to take action!"
Gui Mei, however, didn't buy his crap and mocked, "Heh, you talk a good game, but you never really gave me a chance to say no!!"
"But so be it, this is the last time!"
He found himself increasingly devoid of dignity in the face of the other...
Xu Sheng knew the other party had compromised, "Then Elder Gui, there's no time to lose, let's get moving!"
After all, as they conversed, the fiery red barrier outside had dimmed a little more...
Gui Mei reined in his gaze and, after mentally preparing himself...
He released his Martial Soul, and a tremendous Black Mist completely enveloped him, as he plunged directly into the sea, completely concealing his aura...
The sea soul beasts naturally noticed this ghastly Black Mist, but they didn't take it seriously and continued to charge at the barrier relentlessly...
Witnessing all this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile...
"It seems that Gui Mei can indeed bypass these sea soul beasts with his ability to conceal his presence. Taking out their leader shouldn't pose a problem!!"
Saying this, he unleashed even stronger Soul Power, frantically pouring it into the boundaries of the barrier...
Visible to the naked eye, the barrier, which had just dulled, became as good as new with the injection of Soul Power...
Only after doing all this did he say with satisfaction, "This should hold until Elder Gui takes down their leader!"
Indeed, the previous talk of the barrier being on the verge of breaking was nothing but a little white lie to motivate Gui Mei!
As long as my Soul Power isn't exhausted, no matter how hard these sea soul beasts bang their heads, they won't be able to destroy the barrier!!
...
"Damn Xu Sheng, just don't give me a chance to squeeze you dry, otherwise, I will make sure all the suffering I went through is returned twofold!!"
Muttering curses under his breath, Gui Mei, now transformed into a ghost mist, sped through the water and arrived deep in the ocean...
He could faintly sense a tinge of darkness pervading the surrounding space; thankfully, his spiritual power was unaffected...
Snapping back to his senses, he revealed his true form again...
After scanning his surroundings, he spoke in a deep voice, "Alright, next is to use my spiritual power to track these sea soul beasts and locate their real leader!"
Even as a Titled Douluo, traversing the ocean consumed massive amounts of Soul Power, and he had to make it quick!!
So, he focused his entire being on unleashing his spiritual power, probing the space around him and continually extending his reach...
However, after doing this for several minutes, Gui Mei's expression turned ugly...
"That guy Xu Sheng really gave me a tough problem, there are too many sea soul beasts in the way!"
"Better clear them all out in one go and lock on the target during the moment of respite!"
At this point, one of the Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up...
"You worthless creatures, go to hell all of you!"
With such a chilling voice echoing through space, countless indistinct ghostly figures surged out from the Black Mist, enveloping the sea soul beasts ahead like a sweeping tide...
Every sea soul beast that was touched had its flesh easily torn apart, turning into clumps of blood froth filled with the stench of blood...
Seeing this, Gui Mei still felt it wasn't satisfying enough and increased the output of his Soul Power once more...
The number of ghostly shadows surged, multiplying, and the sea soul beasts quickly perished under this terrifying force...
"That's right, all of you go die!!!"
At this moment, he transferred all his rage towards Xu Sheng onto the sea soul beasts before him...
After maintaining this for tens of minutes, the dense sea soul beasts had already become sparse and had begun to flee in other directions...
And seeing this, Gui Mei didn't seem to want to give chase. Instead, he simply moved past them and continued onward...
Finally, within his view emerged the mastermind commanding these sea soul beasts!!
It was an extremely large, deep grey octopus a hundred meters long, controlling its disgusting tentacles that were continuously devouring the surrounding creatures...
Gui Mei couldn't help but stop in his tracks, swallowing hard he said, "This... This is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast??"
"Is that kid Xu Sheng trying to kill me??? This is in the ocean!!"
If it was just a ten-thousand-year soul beast with a slightly higher age, he could still handle it somewhat easily!!
However, judging from the aura the opponent was exuding, there was no doubt its Cultivation Level had broken through a hundred thousand years!!
To fight such a terrifying sea soul beast, a moment of inattention could result in his own demise here!!
Not to mention this was in the ocean, where the ability of sea soul beasts would be greatly strengthened, while Soul Masters, on the other hand, would face significant restrictions on their strength!!
It seemed to sense his spiritual power, as the octopus slowly turned its massive body. Its four pairs of cold, hostile pupils firmly locked onto Gui Mei...
Gui Mei suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold on his back, and his body's functions were continuously signaling danger...
He quickly snapped back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and said, "Run, must run!! If I don't run, I'll definitely die!!!"
...
Martial Soul City, spectator stands...
Many Soul Masters and civilians had their eyes glued to the arena, beginning to discuss among themselves...
"This team is really not bad ah, to be able to fight with the Spirit Hall Golden Generation members for so long!!"
"Yeah, yeah, I originally thought that Skywater Academy would lose quickly, but they've held on for so long. But the members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation should be moving seriously now, right?"
"Although I feel a bit sorry for Skywater Academy, the disparity between the sides is already very obvious. If they forfeit proactively, they might still save some face!!"
"Bullshit, didn't you see Skywater Academy successfully resist the assault of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation members? Perhaps they have a chance to win."
"Don't dream. The members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation haven't even used their soul skills yet, while the students from Skywater Academy have already spent nearly half of their Soul Power. With what will they win??"
Even Xue Ye, sitting on the high platform, also opened his mouth with a look of regret, "Ah... Spirit Hall Golden Generation, truly living up to their reputation!!"
At first, he had hope, believing that Skywater Academy might win!
But as the strength of both sides gradually became apparent, the outcome could already be seen!!
