Afterward, Qian Yu and Ma Xiaotao went to pick an Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, then waited for the others in the middle of the canyon.
Ma Xiaotao blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Have Beibei and the others not finished collecting yet? Why does it feel so difficult?"
Qian Yu, using his Divine Power to sense, found that the soul power fluctuations of the others showed no abnormalities, indicating they hadn't encountered any issues...
He said, "Perhaps some Immortal Herbs grow in concealed places, making them difficult to find, which is why they're slow."
Previously, the herbs that were informed to everyone were the most suitable for them; searching for a singular target, being slow was within reason!
The two waited for a full half hour before they saw Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan return at different times...
Seeing each of them with sweat streaming down their foreheads, Ma Xiaotao curiously asked, "Did everyone manage to pick the Immortal Herbs they needed?"
Xu Sanshi nodded first, complaining, "Yeah! This mystic heaven chrysanthemum actually grew on a withered vine, making me search for a long time."
Jiang Nannan too sighed and said, "Same here, I found this Shuixian Yujigu in a secret abyss, and the seawater there suppressed soul power, so it took a lot of effort to pick it."
Beibei then said, "Mine was okay, I easily found the Wangchuan Qiushuilu, but this Fragrance Damask Immortal proved to be quite troublesome."
The excitement in his eyes flickered, clearly because he was thinking about his beloved Tang Ya's recovery and felt somewhat agitated...
Ma Xiaotao pondered, "So it seems, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower I found earlier was also near the lava; these Immortal Herbs all seem to grow in places suited for them."
Qian Yu nodded and said, "The herbs needed to eliminate the evil nature from Sister Tang Ya have also been found, so let's prepare to head back."
Then, behind him, the shadow of the Netherworld Angel enough to envelop the entire canyon appeared, and eight soul rings slowly rose beneath his feet...
Xu Sanshi smacked his lips, "Soul Douluo, hiss... If I could reach the Soul Douluo level, I would probably wake up laughing from my dreams."
When Qian Yu had two rings, he could pummel him with three punches; now that he had reached the Soul Douluo level...
Wouldn't he be able to kill him a thousand to eight hundred times over?
Pah, in that case, I would become a unit of measurement!
Jiang Nannan looked puzzled, "Qian Yu, aren't we supposed to be leaving? Why are you releasing your Martial Soul, are you preparing to...?"
Beibei, standing beside him, also looked at Qian Yu with puzzlement but refrained from asking any further questions...
Only Ma Xiaotao, who had been close to Qian Yu and had seen him use that powerful Spatial Soul Skill before, did not seem very surprised...
Qian Yu calmly explained, "One of my soul skills can directly open a spatial tunnel to places I have been before."
Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan exclaimed in amazement, "Spatial Soul Skill? There aren't many on the entire Continent who possess it, right?"
Beibei narrowed his eyes, clearly feeling quite unsettled at the bottom of his heart...
The use and value of Spatial Soul Skills were tremendously great, and across the whole Continent, they were opportunities sought but seldom found...
Qian Yu's third soul ring lit up beneath his feet...
Third soul skill, Nether Space...
Soon, a vortex shimmering with gray-white flames slowly appeared before everyone, leading directly to Shrek Academy on the other side...
Just as everyone was about to step into it, suddenly an explosive sound of terror burst from outside the cave with a "bang"...
The entire cave began to tremble slightly...
Beibei steadied himself and said solemnly, "What's happening outside the cave? Such intense trembling."
Jiang Nannan speculated, "Could it be someone is hunting soul beasts?"
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes turned to Qian Yu and she asked, "Qian Yu, can you sense what's going on outside?"
Qian Yu next to them said coldly, "Yes, the explosion sounds that just rang out were emitted by evil Soul Masters! There are five of them, just like us! One Titled Douluo, three Soul Kings, and one Soul Sage!"
Xu Sanshi, filled with a trace of fear upon hearing this, said, "Evil Soul Masters? And there's even a Titled... a Titled Douluo. We should hurry and leave!"
Jiang Nannan pondered, "The power of evil Soul Masters is generally stronger than those of the same level, and a Title Douluo level evil Soul Master..."
Thinking back to the Soul Emperor and Soul King level evil Soul Masters they had encountered before, if it hadn't been for the presence of Yan Shaozhe, a Title Douluo, they probably wouldn't have resolved the situation with the evil Soul Masters so easily...
Qian Yu's eyes turned cold, then he glanced at the others and said, "You go back to Shrek Academy first. I'll deal with these evil Soul Masters and then quickly return!"
Ma Xiaotao immediately furrowed her brows and said, "How can that be alright! The enemy has a Titled Douluo level evil Soul Master."
Jiang Nannan's eyes shimmered with determination, "If we're going, we'll go together. Another mission we bear as Shrek Academy Inner Court students is to eliminate evil Soul Masters!"
Xu Sanshi coughed and said, "Cough cough... Nannan, but the evil Soul Masters over there have a Titled Douluo!"
Hearing Xu Sanshi's timid voice, Jiang Nannan's expression changed abruptly as she said coldly, "Xu Sanshi, if you're scared, just go back by yourself!"
With Jiang Nannan's words, Xu Sanshi felt his face lose glory and said boastfully while patting his chest, "Scared? Who said I'm scared? Nannan, rest assured, I will protect you!"
Qian Yu looked at everyone and pressed his lips together, "They are evil Soul Masters! Their attack methods are different from regular Soul Masters. You should go back. I can handle this alone."
Ma Xiaotao's eyes narrowed, "Qian Yu, even though my strength doesn't match yours, I've participated in more than a dozen missions to eliminate evil Soul Masters. Those of the same level are basically no match for me!"
Jiang Nannan echoed, "That's right. If we run away upon seeing evil Soul Masters, what's the point of joining the inner court of Shrek Academy?"
Seeing the firm attitude of the others, Qian Yu turned his gaze to Beibei and suggested, "I understand. Then, Big Brother Beibei, you go back first and administer the Immortal Herbs to Sister Tang Ya."
Upon hearing this, Beibei shook his head and said, "Let's go together and eliminate the evil Soul Masters first. If Xiao Ya were here, she would definitely choose to annihilate the evil Soul Masters."
Although he was eager to see Tang Ya regain her consciousness earlier, he still sensibly suppressed his desire...
Qian Yu no longer made a fuss and said, "Is that so? Then let's go. The enemy is not far from the entrance of the cave!"
...
An evil Soul Master's third soul ring lit up beneath his feet as he exclaimed, "Third soul skill, Ghostly Fireball!"
The next moment, an Abyssal Behemoth behind him violently spat out a black fireball with a diameter of about five meters, emitting a terrifying aura, covering a ten-thousand-year soul beast in front of it...
The enormous black fireball hit the ten-thousand-year soul beast, unleashing a terrifying dark energy...
In an instant, the soul beast was engulfed by the spreading black energy...
A soul ring with a black glow lit up...
Feeling the presence of five soul power auras, the leading Title Douluo among the evil Soul Masters said in a chilling tone, "Five more prey have arrived."
