Wei Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, "So this is the Soul Spirit Tower? It's even more formidable than I imagined!"
Zhang Yangzi asked curiously, "Hmm, but what about these eight large doors around us?"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, "That's where the soul beasts will appear! And there will be hundreds of them at once!"
Wang Jinxi furrowed his brow, "I thought we were going to have a seven-on-one situation, but I didn't expect it to still be many against many!"
It's no wonder that the challenge has to be tackled by a team; a single person would basically be unable to withstand it!
Just then, from behind the eight large doors, there came a piercing sound...
"Buzz buzz buzz~~"
Subsequently, they started to tremble continuously, each door slowly ascending upward...
Tang Wulin's pupils suddenly constricted as he cried out, "Everyone, be careful, the soul beasts are coming out!"
Xie Xie said gravely, "Let's take our positions as we planned earlier!"
Yuanen Yehui said coldly, "Right!"
After the words were spoken, everyone released their Martial Spirits, with the strongest, Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui, standing at the forefront, and the rest forming a triangle behind them!
Visibly, from those doors emerged one wolf-class soul beast after another, radiating a bloodthirsty aura. They roared for a few seconds with their gaping maws before fixing their crimson eyes on Tang Wulin and the others!
At a glance, there were hundreds of them!!
Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath, her emotionless eyes sweeping over the soul beasts. Then, the Fallen Angel Martial Spirit, about ten or so meters tall behind her, slowly spread its wings and opened its profound, dark eyes...
She glanced sideways at the others, "Do not act, leave this challenge to me!"
Meanwhile, the light from her first soul ring lit up...
First soul skill, Fallen Heaven Curtain!
The Fallen Angel behind her, as if receiving an order, its eyes suddenly shining bright...
The dark aura that was suspended around it began to spread at a sinister speed, covering the whole space in the blink of an eye...
This added a strong palpitation to the space...
And the wolf-class soul beasts, with their sharp claws and fangs, surged forward, one after another, towards Yuanen Yehui, who they perceived as a threat...
But she merely "hmph!" coldly, and any soul beast about to touch her tender body instantly turned to ash...
After tens of seconds, hundreds of wolf-class soul beasts were effortlessly annihilated by her!
"Soul Spirit Tower, first challenge passed, eligible for soul spirit absorption, Wind Wolf!"
Witnessing this scene, everyone, including Tang Wulin, was flabbergasted!
They hadn't even had the chance to make a move, and Yuanen Yehui had already wiped out the first challenge's wolf-class soul beasts on her own!
Wei Xiaofeng trembled as he said, "My... my goodness! Is this Yuanen Yehui's true strength? She really is on a different level from us."
Wang Jinxi analyzed, "Indeed terrifying... But there must be some sort of limit, otherwise if the first soul skill is this overpowered, not to mention the other soul skills!"
Zhang Yangzi complained, "There were easily hundreds of soul beasts, yet they couldn't last five minutes in front of Yuanen Yehui. Wulin, what kind of monster have you brought along?"
Tang Wulin gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "I... I don't know either!"
It was also his first time witnessing Yuanen Yehui's strength!
To be honest, it was ridiculously strong!
Truly worthy of being a student recommended by Yue Zhengyu!
Gu Yue recovered from her shock and reminded, "Ye Hui, be mindful to conserve your Soul Power. We know you're strong, but there's no time to rest during the tower challenge!"
Yuanen Yehui nodded and replied calmly, "I'm aware! With so many soul beasts this time, it's best for me to handle them!"
Her First Soul Skill, Fallen Heaven Curtain, allowed her to control the entire space she covered!
Though it could only suppress Soul Masters, its effect on soul beasts was much stronger!
However, Xie Xie interrupted their conversation, pointing to the glowing light door behind them, "Stop discussing, the second challenge's light door has appeared. Let's hurry up and go inside. No one would want this trash Spirit Soul anyway!"
Their real target was the Spirit Souls beyond the tenth level—how could they possibly settle for a Spirit Soul from the first challenge!
Hearing his words, the others nodded and quickly entered the light door leading to the second challenge...
...
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan was observing Tang Wulin and the others through a screen. After seeing Yuanen Yehui annihilate hundreds of wolf-type soul beasts in an instant, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise...
She said in shock, "Sss... Is this the extent of Yuanen Yehui's strength? She's far stronger than us, not just by a small margin!"
Although there was an advantage in soul power rank, it was clear to the discerning eye that her strength and talent were extremely formidable!
Xu Sheng nodded in agreement, chuckling, "Not bad at all. It seems Ye Hui is indeed the strongest among the first and second years!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and said with a hint of resentment, "Not bad? Teacher Xu, aren't your standards a bit too high? I think no one among her peers could surpass her in strength!"
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, teasingly, "What's the matter, Xiao Yan, losing confidence?"
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head and pouted, "Not at all. I'm a control-class Soul Master and she's an assault-type Soul Master; there's no need for comparison. Besides, our Martial Spirits aren't even on the same level!"
Her Fallen Angel Martial Spirit must have already reached the legendary God Rank!
Their casual conversation caused the staff member nearby to break out in a cold sweat...
He took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "If I didn't see it wrong just now, that female student seemed to use an Evil Martial Soul. The renowned Shrek Academy... Are they really recruiting evil Soul Masters now?"
If that were the case, wouldn't Shrek Academy also become a gathering place for evil Soul Masters?
Seeing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes twinkled, and with a smile, he replied, "Evil Martial Soul? Did you see her being controlled by her Martial Spirit?"
The staff member was taken aback and shook his head, "This... that didn't happen, but possessing an Evil Martial Soul, she will sooner or later become an evil Soul Master!"
There was a certain finality to his last words!
In response, Xu Sheng merely scoffed, stating indifferently, "Only those whose hearts are not steadfast and who let themselves fall will be controlled by an Evil Martial Soul!"
"To put it plainly, Soul Masters controlled by an Evil Martial Soul are worthless!"
This definitive statement left the staff member completely dumbfounded...
Exactly where did this teacher get the confidence to make such a claim!
A different kind of brilliance flickered in Xu Xiaoyan's Beautiful Eyes as she thought to herself, "Teacher Xu is so cool!"
Xu Sheng gently tapped her on the head, "Don't look at me! Watch Tang Wulin and the others. Even though you might not need a Spirit Soul, consider the tower challenge as a form of tempering in the future!"
Xu Xiaoyan rubbed her head, feeling wronged, "I get it, Teacher Xu!"
If her family hadn't prepared a Spirit Soul for her, she would have much preferred to join the others in the tower challenge!
