Chapter 149: The Ambitions of the Evil Soul Masters

Note: I'll be using the term Impostor instead of fake women in the future as it seems to be more appropriate.

...

Evil Soul Masters are stronger than ordinary Soul Masters, but Lin Yi's combat power could not be defeated even by Poison Douluo before, let alone a Soul Emperor Evil Soul Master.

Ai Bi did not run; lying on the ground, Lin Yi's coercion had been pressing him, making him unable to move.

Lin Yi didn't waste time or talk nonsense. He smashed Ai Bi with one punch, obtaining the sacrifice of a 400,000-year-old top-tier Soul Beast, which doubled to 800,000 years.

Lin Yi thought, "You can use this Soul Beast sacrifice for Rongrong."

Upon returning to Sky Water Academy, the mainland was in turmoil, with people cursing.

"My God, how is this possible?"

"What's happening?"

"Look at the List of Impostors: Zhang Dada, Cai Xu, and Ai Bi are all listed as deceased."

Suddenly, the other Soul Masters turned to look, all in shock.

The three impostors were reported as dead.

Soon, almost everyone on the Douluo Continent saw it, leaving them uncomfortable.

"What's going on? All three of them died so quickly."

"This time, only three were suitable targets, but they're all gone. Unbelievable."

"Which force acted so swiftly, the Spirit Hall?"

"I thought seizing this opportunity was our hope as ordinary Spirit Masters, but it seems there's no hope now."

...

At the Wuhun Hall,

Titled Douluos wore equally grim expressions; they were baffled.

Qian Daoliu frowned, "I couldn't seize the opportunity. Which force could it be? We didn't earn many rewards for the previous rounds of rankings, but we didn't think anyone could outpace us. A force with a larger intelligence network than Spirit Hall and faster action? Impossible."

This left Qian Daoliu utterly perplexed, and the other Title Douluos were equally astonished, unable to fathom what had occurred.

They would never understand that Lin Yi's speed and search capabilities meant that he would almost always claim the rewards from the God's List.

Back at Sky Water Academy, Lin Yi told Xiao Wu and the others, "Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, Rongrong, come meet me in the small forest in Houshan tonight."

Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and the others were puzzled. They asked, "Brother Yi, aren't we going with you tonight?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, only the three of you tonight. I'll have something else for the rest of you later."

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing looked slightly anxious.

Xiao Wu said anxiously, "We really want to join you, Brother Yi, but you're so strong. Even if it's just the three of us, it'll be tough. We'll get exhausted quickly."

Lin Yi smiled, "You three aren't here to spar with me tonight; it's something else."

This piqued their curiosity and anticipation.

Meanwhile, Tang San, Tang Xiao, and Yu Yuanzhen quickly left Seagod Island with Bo Saixi's help. They had intended to hunt down the people on the Impostors' List and gather materials for refining hidden weapons. However, upon seeing that Zhang Dada and the others were already dead, Tang San frowned in consternation.

"Damn it, they're all dead."

His hopes of becoming stronger by killing these three impostors had been dashed. He had hoped to obtain three Top-tier Soul Rings, but now, that opportunity was gone.

Tang San's expression turned somber as he contemplated who could have acted so swiftly. He considered Lin Yi, whose Spirit Ring configuration was astonishing.

Meanwhile, within the Evil Soul Master organization,

A spy rushed back and reported, "Leader, the Black Panther is dead."

The leader was taken aback; could it be a stroke of bad luck?

They had initially believed themselves to be fortunate. The Black Panther's location happened to be near Abby's city, so they had found him and sent him to act. Now, this turn of events frustrated the organization's members.

"Go investigate; we must find out who did this, and they'll regret it! The arrival of the God's List is an opportunity for our Evil Soul Master organization. We don't have to wait for thousands of years to develop. We might grow rapidly in our generation. Seize the opportunity presented by the God's List and identify individuals with the potential to become Evil Spirit Masters."

A subordinate expressed concern, "The God's List will come to punish Yang Shan. I'm worried that fewer people will become Evil Soul Masters in the future, which might hinder our progress."

The leader didn't worry and said, "Those punished by the gods are most likely to become Blackened, so I believe we'll encounter promising candidates to become Evil Soul Masters. We'll cultivate them, and our organization will grow rapidly. Then, we'll establish a religion, rather than remaining scattered. We'll gather together to form a sect, and I've already thought of a name: the Holy Ghost Church. We'll make our name known throughout the continent, and people will tremble at the mention of it."

"Yes, I'll get on it right away."

At Sky Water Academy, at night,

Xiao Wu and the others arrived at the grove in the back mountain. Lin Yi summoned three Top-tier Soul Beasts, each with 400,000, 600,000, and 800,000 years of cultivation.

Xiao Wu and the others were stunned, but some began to understand.

"Brother Yi, did you defeat those three individuals?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, let's begin the ritual."

Xiao Wu and the others nodded with enthusiasm; there was no need for pretense. Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the 400,000-year-old Soul Beast, Xiao Wu the 600,000-year-old, and Ning Rongrong the 800,000-year-old one.

The absorption was swift and risk-free.

Zhu Zhuqing jumped to level 48, Xiao Wu to level 50, and Ning Rongrong to level 50 as well.

Zhu Zhuqing acquired a powerful speed-type Spirit Ability, enhancing her agility. Speed equaled power, and as an agile Soul Master, she gained significant attack power.

Xiao Wu's combat prowess also increased significantly, while Ning Rongrong obtained a Spirit Ability that boosted all attributes fourfold. She also gained a strength-enhancing skill that increased strength by 40%, a highly potent auxiliary Spirit Ability.

Additionally, they obtained Spirit Bones, which they attached to themselves.

Xiao Wu and the others were overjoyed.

Xiao Wu and the others were brimming with confidence. "Brother Yi, we're much stronger now. Let's have a practice battle."

Ning Rongrong added, "Brother Yi, you can use your first two Spirit Abilities; otherwise, you won't be able to match us. With Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing's increased combat power and my powerful support, the three of us will make a formidable team."

Lin Yi shook his head, "Fighting is fine, but I'll only use my martial skills, not Soul Skills. Let's begin."
