Chapter 3239: Proof

"Huh? What's wrong with this guy? It's just a little blood, why's he standing there like an idiot? Attack Xu Sheng now!"

"Yeah, is this guy really a Soul Sage? He can't even bear a little pain, it's infuriating!"

"I bet all my life savings on you; you better not lose. Otherwise, I'll curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"Heh, Xu Sheng's previous battles were obviously a sham. The attacks he launched barely scratched the opponent, not even a minor injury. I'm afraid there's no good outcome waiting for him next!"

"Don't you see? The expression on that Soul Sage's face is very off. Things aren't as simple as they seem!"

"Exactly, if he had really blocked the attack, he would have counterattacked by now!"

However, the host who had watched all of Xu Sheng's battles, merely curled up the corners of his mouth lightly…

After arriving at a secluded place in Shrek Academy, Yuanen Yehui cautiously scanned her surroundings…

She spoke out, "Teacher Xu, are you here?"

But the eerily quiet surroundings offered no reply to her...

Just then, a middle-aged man approached from not too far away...

The newcomer was a teacher from Shrek Academy; he looked at Yuanen Yehui with a puzzled face...

"Student, what are you doing here late at night instead of resting?"

A sense of shock raced through Yuanen Yehui's heart; she hadn't noticed him at all. "I... I came to find Teacher Xu. By the way, have you seen Teacher Xu?"

The teacher's eyes flickered slightly as he pointed ahead and said, "Oh, Teacher Xu? He just went that way…"

Yuanen Yehui's heart relaxed, and she gratefully said, "Thank you, Teacher!"

As she turned to leave, the teacher behind her revealed a sinister smile, and his body emanated a pitch-black aura...

He darted towards her like a specter, reaching out with his palm shrouded in black mist toward her neck...

Sensing something was amiss, Yuanen Yehui quickly turned around and immediately spotted the middle-aged man diving towards her...

Even if she wanted to run, it was already too late...

Her neck was seized firmly, and an endless surge of dark aura continuously flooded into her body...

Yuanen Yehui's mind was beginning to blur, but she clenched her teeth and said, "Who... who exactly are you?"

Wasn't he a teacher at Shrek Academy? Why was he attacking her!

Moreover, this immense evil aura...

The middle-aged man sneered, "Me? Of course, I'm a teacher of the academy!"

One of Yuanen Yehui's Martial Souls was the top-tier Evil Martial Soul, Fallen Angel. If she became a pawn for the Holy Spirit Cult, she might bring them unexpected support in the future!

That was why he risked the danger of being discovered to lure her out and make his move!

Under the influence of the dark aura, Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes slowly turned lifeless...

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who had been hiding in the shadows all along, walked out unhurriedly and said with a smile, "You know, it's not very nice for a venerable Soul Sage to treat a student like this, is it?"

The Holy Spirit Cult attacking Yuanen Yehui was indeed beyond his expectations...

Although she had shown decent strength in the duels, she was still only a Soul Ancestor!

The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly tightened as he exclaimed, "Who?"

Hurriedly tossing Yuanen Yehui to one side, he fixed his gaze on Xu Sheng who had suddenly appeared before him...

He hadn't expected anyone to show up here at this late hour!

In order not to expose his own identity, he had to kill him as quickly as possible!

With that thought, he didn't hesitate to release his Martial Soul. A giant skeleton engulfed in black flames materialized behind him, and at a glance, it looked like a revenant that had emerged from Hell...

At his feet, seven Soul Rings gradually rose...

Xu Sheng, his expression unchanged, said, "It seems you're not only a teacher from Shrek Academy but also an evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said chillingly, "Since you've discovered my identity, I must not let you live."

Fourth Soul Skill, Undead Flamethrower!

As the words were spoken, the skeleton standing behind him quickly opened its mouth, revealing its ghastly white teeth...

Immediately after, its crimson eyes locked onto Xu Sheng, and from its mouth burst forth a massive black flame that swept towards him with an overwhelming force...

If it hit, it would cause irreparable damage to both the body and the soul!

Xu Sheng's lips curled into a smile, and with a casual wave of his hand, an invisible barrier appeared in front of him, effectively blocking the flames...

The middle-aged man across from him exclaimed in shock, "What! You managed to block my attack barehanded without even releasing your Martial Soul!"

A shade of fear subtly appeared in his heart...

Meanwhile, Yuanen Yehui, who had regained some of her senses, watched in surprise, her beautiful eyes flashing...

Teacher Xu is so strong!

Although they were both Soul Sages, he was able to easily block those flames!

Xu Sheng spoke indifferently, "Do you have any other moves? If not, I'll take your life now!"

He had originally turned a blind eye to the existence of people from the Holy Spirit Cult hidden within Shrek Academy, but now, there was no need to hold back!

With that thought, Dark Hummingbird harshly called out, "Third Soul Skill, Leap of Terror."

From behind him, the hummingbird let out a sinister and bone-chilling screech. Soon after, ripples appeared in the space around him and he began to teleport at an incredible speed, swiftly closing in on Xu Sheng!

This soul skill allowed him to teleport short distances and deal tremendous damage to any creature he collided with!

Seeing this, Ya Li immediately cried out, "Xu Sheng, be careful!"

However, Xu Sheng just faintly smiled, his dark eyes having already seen through the soul skill.

When the evil Soul Master suddenly appeared beside him, reaching out with his skeletal hand, he simply shifted slightly to the side, brushing past him...

After the miss, the attacker's pupils constricted sharply, "What! He dodged it, was it just luck?"

Feeling that something was off, he continued to attack Xu Sheng, but with each attempt, Xu Sheng evaded with subtle movements...

Dark Hummingbird, realizing something strange about Xu Sheng, furrowed his brows tightly and clenched his fists, saying, "Damn it! What kind of monster is this guy, why can't my attacks ever hit him!"

Is this really something that a mere Soul Sage could achieve?

As he was caught off guard, Xu Sheng, standing before him, curved his lips into a smile and his figure suddenly vanished...

Dark Hummingbird, now having lost sight of his target, felt a sudden rush of panic on his cheek and hastily looked around, trying to find Xu Sheng's trace...

However, the next moment, Dark Hummingbird felt a weight on his shoulder and a sudden surge of cold dread filled him...
