Xuan Zi had no idea he'd been tricked and rolled his eyes, "You brat, how dare you play me like that."
Then he laughingly said, "All right, just one then, but I want it now!"
Wang Dong frowned, "You want it now? Can't you just take the money and buy it yourself?"
Huo Yuhao's pupils gleamed with wisdom as he said, "Since you can come in here, you must be from Shrek Academy. Surely you know where the cafeteria is, right?"
Xuan Zi turned his head and said, "I don't care! I want it now! Since you won't give it to me, then I'm leaving!"
These youngsters dared to play him; wouldn't he lose face as a Hyper Douluo if he didn't get back at them?
However, in the next moment, just as he was about to unleash his Soul Power to scare them off, his expression suddenly froze...
All the Soul Power in his body had vanished without a trace!
His gaze immediately turned to Qian Yu, and with a shock in his heart he thought, "This kid's soul power rank definitely doesn't exceed level 30. The first soul skill that hit me just now wiped out all my Soul Power in mere minutes!!"
To think, as a level-98 Hyper Douluo with immense Soul Power within him, his own Soul Power was devoured in just a few minutes!
If it were someone with lower cultivation level, wouldn't they be left staring dumbfounded after being hit?
Xuan Zi awkwardly touched his nose, "Cough cough... Well then, just send someone to buy me a chicken leg and that'll be enough!"
He thought about how he, a mighty Hyper Douluo, had been reduced to such a state.
No sooner had he spoken than three voices rang out...
Wang Dong refused, "Not going!"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, "Not interested."
Qian Yu stared at Xuan Zi and said indifferently, "Why should we?"
Xuan Zi felt a sense of displeasure rising within him, then pursed his lips and took a fierce swig from the gourd hanging at his waist...
He shook his head with a sigh, "Forget it, forget it. You youngsters are just too vulgar! Is giving me a golden soul coin better than that delicious chicken leg?"
The next moment, Wang Dong took out a golden soul coin and tossed it over...
Quick as a flash, Xuan Zi caught it and said softly, "Let's drop it, I never really wanted to hold a grudge against you kids anyway!"
Qian Yu said gravely, "Now that it's settled, tell us who you really are?"
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao also stared intently at Xuan Zi, waiting for his explanation...
With a discreet movement, Xuan Zi pocketed the golden soul coin, "Me? You can call me Elder Xuan. As for what I do, well, I'm responsible for monitoring a youngster who might become an evil Soul Master!"
Though feeling unwelcomed by the earlier trick, Xuan Zi was certain of one thing after witnessing it firsthand!
Qian Yu's Netherworld Angel Martial Soul was in no way inferior even when compared to the most gifted evil Soul Master from the entire Continent!
Qian Yu said thoughtfully, "So you mean... you are an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion?"
Wang Dong felt his worldview being challenged, "Hiss... This seemingly wretched old man couldn't really be from the Sea God's Pavilion, could he?"
Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, "If he's here to monitor Qian Yu, then his strength must be at least that of a Titled Douluo!!"
Xuan Zi nodded and took another sip of his drink, "You could say that."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu's pupils showed a trace of seriousness as he turned to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, "Yuhao, Wang Dong, you go back to the dormitory. I have something to discuss with Elder Xuan."
Wang Dong looked at Qian Yu and then at Xuan Zi, "This... Okay then! Just be careful!"
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Then Wang Dong and I will head back first, you... speak with Elder Xuan!"
The next moment, both of them left for the dormitory...
After the two had left, Xuan Zi looked at Qian Yu with a puzzled gaze and asked, "Little guy, if I remember correctly, your name is Qian Yu, right? Do you have something to say to me?"
Qian Yu replied, "Elder Xuan, can we talk somewhere quieter?"
They were currently on the path to the dormitories, where soon plenty of students would likely pass by…
Xuan Zi glanced around and nodded, saying, "That's fine!!"
His Soul Power had also recovered somewhat, leaving this place was just a trivial matter!
He immediately flashed behind Qian Yu, grabbed his clothes from behind, and soared into the sky in an instant…
Qian Yu felt only a fierce wind gusting, his whole body being pulled into the sky by Xuan Zi…
The turbulent wind kept blowing their clothes, rustling noisily…
The former gazed at the indistinct scenery below, feeling a chilling sensation at the bottom of his heart, "Hiss..."
Xuan Zi looked at Qian Yu, whose back he had grasped, and chuckled, "Little guy, does it feel exhilarating to soar among the clouds?"
As Xuan Zi sped up, Qian Yu found even speaking somewhat difficult, "No… not exhilarating at all."
"If it's exhilarating, then you must practice diligently! And don't drift toward the path of an evil Soul Master, otherwise… I will personally kill you!" When Xuan Zi uttered his last sentence, a robust killing intent burst forth from him…
The grasped Qian Yu felt as if he was being watched by a Primordial Behemoth, the thumping of his heart coming through constantly…
Qian Yu took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "This… this strength is completely different from a normal Titled Douluo, it must have at least reached the level of a Hyper Douluo!"
Xuan Zi instantly retracted the killing intent, smiling as if nothing had happened, "However, if you practice well, I can assure you that the people at Sea God's Pavilion won't deal with you!"
Qian Yu was at a loss for words…
…
After Xuan Zi set Qian Yu down, he glanced at the surrounding forest and said, "Little guy, let's talk here. Speak up if you have anything secretive to say."
Qian Yu started with a pleading tone, "Elder Xuan, it's like this, I'm about to break through to level 30! So I would like to request your protection during the breakthrough."
After all, his Martial Soul was too powerful, and since it was an Evil Martial Soul, breaking through in the dormitory would certainly attract the attention of other students.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi narrowed his eyes and said, "Little guy, weren't you at Level Twenty-Four? How could you break through to level 30 in such a short time?"
Could it be that Qian Yu had resorted to the methods of an evil Soul Master?
Otherwise, breaking through six levels in a day or two would be simply unbelievable!
Qian Yu also shook his head, "I'm not sure myself, but I can feel that my Soul Power is condensing rapidly, and moreover, I'm cultivating at nearly every moment. I only discovered this myself this morning!"
Xuan Zi felt as though he was listening to a story, incredulously saying, "Your Soul Power is condensing rapidly? You can cultivate by yourself? Little guy, you're not joking, are you?"
Self-cultivation? How is it possible to extract Soul Power without the guidance of one's own body?
Qian Yu calmly said, "If Elder Xuan doesn't believe it, you can personally feel the changes in my Soul Power right now."
Xuan Zi did not refuse, slowly extended his hand to Qian Yu's back, and began to probe with his spiritual power…
But just as Xuan Zi's spiritual power was about to enter Qian Yu's body, suddenly, the latter's body burst forth with ten chains shining with a Six-Pointed Star glow!
A ripple surged out of Qian Yu's body abruptly, forcing Xuan Zi to step back several paces…
Xuan Zi looked at the ten chains around Qian Yu's body, shocked, "Is… is this a seal?"
This sealing power was even more terrifying than that of a level-99 Ultimate Douluo like Mu En!
Which mighty figure had sealed Qian Yu's power?
…
