The pitter-patter of rain sprinkled down from the sky.

It was as sad as the song of death.

Heaven Dou City was enshrouded in a layer of white mist. The mist wasn't very dense, but it gave the grand imperial city a sense of mystery. It appeared to be somewhat illusory as if it had transformed into a mirage.

Walking on the wet street, Tang San lowered his head. A faint trace of worry appeared between his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something. Even his footsteps became heavy.

Today's victory didn't bring him much joy. Instead, it made him a little worried. He was worried about the competition in the future. Although they won the competition against the Weaver Team, it was only a narrow victory. At the last moment, Huyan Li almost turned the tables and won.

This was a big blow to Tang San.

If he wanted to stand out in the soul master preliminaries and advance to the finals, his current strength wasn't enough. He had to become stronger.

Therefore, after the competition ended, Tang San left the Great Soul Arena alone. He didn't alert anyone and walked alone on the street. While thinking about his future cultivation plan, he quickly walked toward the Shrek Academy, ready to work hard to cultivate.

Now that his soul power had reached the peak of rank 39, he was only a step away from becoming a Soul Ancestor. As long as he worked hard and broke through to rank 40, the Shrek Team would welcome a second Soul Ancestor. Their qualification to advance in the preliminaries would also be greater.

"Eh, what's going on? The road back to the academy seems to have suddenly become longer today. Did I go the wrong way …? "

After walking for about half an hour, Tang San gradually frowned. He felt that something was wrong. In the past, he would have already returned to the Shrek Academy.

But now, after walking for more than half an hour, he didn't even see the shadow of the Shrek Academy.

This made him a little uneasy. He quickened his pace and walked quickly toward the end of the street …

No

What's wrong?

Tang San quivered and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

With a vigilant gaze, he looked around and was surprised to find that the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed. The shops, buildings, and streets had all disappeared.

Instead, there were towering ancient trees and clusters of green grass. Even the roads had become winding islands in the wilderness.

Cold sweat the size of beans dripped down from his cheeks. Tang San looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with an ugly expression. At this point, if he still did not realize that he had fallen into a trap, then he would be too stupid.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly, a cold murderous intent came from behind, making him feel uneasy. He quickly turned his head to look and found a white-robed old man walking towards him unhurriedly.

There was a sneer on that old face, and undisguised killing intent surged out, causing Tang San to feel a chill run down his spine.

"Haha, Tang San, you're worthy of being the most outstanding disciple of the Shrek Academy. Your observation skills are extremely sharp, and your vigilance is very strong as well. But unfortunately, you noticed it too late …"

The gloomy old man stood with his hands behind his back. His somewhat white hair was loose, and his pair of green eyes were like a poisonous snake. They coldly locked onto Tang San and a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate spread out.

"Soul Sage"

Tang San turned pale with fright. The terrifying aura that came from the old man was something he had only felt from Flanders, Liu Erlong, and the rest.

The gloomy old man in front of him had an aura that was comparable to theirs. He was also a powerful seven-ringed Soul Sage.

Furthermore, Tang San recognized this gloomy old man.

This person was the leader of the Blue Sunshine Academy, a Rank 72 illusion-type Soul Sage- Shi Nian.

Flanders had repeatedly warned Tang San to stay away from this old monster. Otherwise, if he was targeted by him, it would bode ill.

He did not expect to meet Shi Nian today …

Tang San's face was pale, and he let out a long sigh in his heart. He felt that his luck was terrible.

Unfortunately, he had met this old monster halfway.

No!

If it wasn't because he was unlucky, Shi Nian was probably lying in ambush halfway, waiting for him.

Tang San's expression changed, and he quickly calmed himself down. He calmly looked at Shi Nian and said without batting an eyelid, "Isn't this Teacher Shi Nian from the Blue Sunshine Academy? What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. Do you have any advice for me?"

"Haha, your temperament is not bad"

Shi Nian laughed coldly, and his sharp gaze focused on Tang San. He said, "It's not advice. I just want you to disappear forever …"

"You want to kill me? For the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"

Tang San's brows twitched, and his heart sank. He said,

"There are so many outstanding talents in the Soul Master Tournament. Why are you targeting me? Let's not talk about the others. Fang Xuan from the Emperor Team is the strongest in this preliminary round. At the same time, he's also the most outstanding person from the Blue Sunshine Academy. Why don't you kill him?"

"Fang Xuan?"

Hearing this name, Shi Nian couldn't help but frown. He said in a low voice, "You're right. That kid is indeed troublesome. However, there's no need to rush. We'll do it one by one. Whoever hinders the Blue Sunshine Academy from advancing to the finals will be killed by me.

You, Tang San, will be the first. Fang Xuan will be the second"

Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Shi Nian was determined to kill him. He raised his stubborn face and looked at this Rank 72 Soul Sage. He coldly threatened, "If you kill me, aren't you afraid of the Shrek Academy's revenge? The dean and the rest won't let you off. You can forget about having a foothold in the world of soul masters in the future"

"Haha, the Golden Iron Triangle is indeed a little troublesome. I also heard that you have some connections with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. However, don't worry. Since I've decided to kill you, I've already made the necessary preparations. Believe me, you'll disappear without a trace. Even your corpse won't be left behind. Therefore, no one will find out that it was me, Shi Nian"

"Alright, then … go to hell"

Suddenly, Tang San's face became a little sinister. The Mystic Jade Hand moved quickly and rows of flying needles flew towards Shi Nian in a frenzy.

Dragon Whisker Needles, Bone Piercing Needles, Armor Piercing Needles, Seven Kills Needles, and so on. All kinds of hidden weapons were as dense as a rain of arrows as they flew toward Shi Nian like a storm.

Shi Nian laughed coldly. Looking at the countless flying needles gradually flying towards him, he didn't intend to dodge. He remained where he was and allowed Tang San's hidden weapons to wildly pierce his body.

However, a shocking scene occurred. Hundreds of flying needles accurately pierced into Shi Nian's eyes, chest, and lower body. However, no blood spurted out. Those flying needles seemed to have pierced into an illusion as they pierced through Shi Nian's body and into a huge rock thirty meters away.

"How is this possible"

Tang San's eyes narrowed as he stared in disbelief at the unharmed Shi Nian. His face grew even uglier as he said, "You … what did you do?"

"Not bad, not bad. Very powerful hidden weapons. But it's a pity that you met me"

Shi Nian smiled, but the killing intent on his face grew even stronger. He stared fixedly at Tang San, "You truly are the number one prodigy of Shrek. You're one of the strongest among your peers. But it's a pity that you met me.

You've already fallen into my dream. Everything you see, including me, is but an illusion. It's an illusion without a physical body. In my illusion, I am the one and only ruler. How can a puny Soul Expert like you harm me?"

Watching Shi Nian walk towards him step by step, Tang San's face was deathly pale. He couldn't help but feel a surge of despair.

"Tang San, forever sink into my dream …"

A cold voice slowly began to speak.
