Chapter 173: The Time of Remnant Dreams, Skulls in Illusion
In April, the Soul Master Competition officially began.
The preliminaries are not as complicated as the later stages.
The purpose of the preliminaries is to directly eliminate half of the soul master academies that are not up to par.
Basically, strong colleges match weak colleges.
It can be regarded as giving these young people a chance to make their debut.
The team led by Meng Yuan easily eliminated the team called Canghui Academy and got the chance to advance to the selection round.
The unlucky Canghui Academy came with full confidence, but they didn't expect to be eliminated in the first round without even going to Wuhun City. This made them very uncomfortable.
After the failure, they didn't even think about wandering around the city, so they packed their bags and left the imperial city towards their hometown.
As everyone knows, Shi Nian has been quietly targeted.
At that time, the leading teacher of Canghui College was nicknamed Can Meng.
Able to drag enemies into illusions and torture them, he is a cruel hypocrite.
There was a very valuable soul bone on his body, and Meng Yuan was attracted by this soul bone.
Although his martial spirit is very good, he is suitable for joining the Holy Spirit Cult.
But it's just a soul saint, far less important than the soul bone on his head. Moreover, if he died at that time, he could drag his granddaughter into the Holy Spirit Cult to train him. Anyway, his granddaughter also inherited his martial spirit. Meng Yuan had already investigated clearly.
The soul masters of Canghui Academy were all listless on the road.
Then, a sword flashing with hot flames struck instantly, directly exploding a black mushroom cloud in the team.
"who is it?!"
Shi Nian's voice was filled with shock and anger, and the martial soul's true form was instantly activated, and countless illusions were superimposed on each other and spread directly around the area.
"The sixth soul skill: Dream-breaking meteor hammer!"
The sound of an urn was heard, followed by the sound of countless glass shattering. A flaming meteor hammer directly penetrated countless illusions and hit Shi Nian's body hard, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
For a fragile soul master like him back then, receiving such a blow unexpectedly almost killed him.
The dizzy Shi Nian only felt that his eyes were dark.
Suddenly, a burning pain came.
When Shi Nian opened his eyes, he saw a human-faced demon spider dripping with venom staring at him with eight eyes.
"No, no!!!"
Miserable screams resounded through the sky, followed by a scalp-numbing gnawing sound.
After a while, the Man-Faced Demon Spider transformed into a mature lady. Mu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took the head soul bone that could not be swallowed and played with it in his hand: "It's a pity, the Lord ordered this treasure to be handed over."
Staring at this soul bone, her eyes were filled with greed.
But she didn't dare to swallow this soul bone alone.
Yan Ling, the boss of the Soul Douluo trio, walked out of the darkness with his hands behind his back: "Qingmei, the Lord always rewards meritorious deeds. The Right Protector's promotion to the title is the Lord's credit. As long as you hand in this soul Gu, the three of us will definitely receive awards."
Mu Qing sighed: "No matter how good the reward is, can soul bones still be as valuable?"
Flying Fire Meteor Hammer Soul Douluo Qiu Feng snorted and said: "The most precious reward is that the Lord allows you to join the Holy Cult and gives you protection. Otherwise, you will not be able to enjoy such a leisurely life. "
Mu Qing, known as the "Black Widow", is notorious in the soul master world.
The Holy Spirit Sect really owes a large part of the credit for such a leisurely and nourishing life now.
Yanling, on the other hand, tried to smooth things over and said, "Okay, Third Brother, don't mention the past anymore."
"The competition in the Holy Religion is even worse than that of Star Luobi. Now the three of us are a group and we should advance and retreat together."
Mu Qing handed the soul bone in his hand to Yan Ling: "What the boss said is that we should unite together to have the possibility of further progress in the Holy Religion."
This trio of assassins who followed Prince Xue Yue were very united.
Meng Yuan made a rare visit to the Yuesha Organization headquarters in Tiandou Imperial City today.
Prince Xue Yue stood beside Meng Yuan with great respect and reported to him.
"The organization's stronghold in the Star Luo Empire has been hit hard by Star Luo. Dai Tianjiao cannot bear such uncontrollable variables."
"Yue Sha has established a firm foothold in Tiandou and has now completely integrated the underground black market."
"Our current operation method is mainly intermediary. We draw a certain commission and then distribute bounties. Of course, we outsource most of the people to wild soul masters who are not affiliated with the Holy Religion."
Meng Yuan nodded and said: "Well done, the next step is to create some gold medal killers so that the soul masters of the holy religion can reduce their missions."
"What we have to do now is to lie dormant and wait until the Soul Master Competition is over before planning the next war!"
Prince Xueyue leaned over and said, "I understand."
At this moment, a masked Soul Emperor walked in and half-knelt down and said, "Yan Ling, Mu Qing, Qiu Feng, please see me."
"Let them in."
After a while, the Contra trio walked into the room, then half-knelt in the tunnel and said: "My lord, the mission has been successfully completed, and these are the trophies captured."
As he spoke, a soul bone emitting colorful light appeared in Yan Ling's hand.
Prince Xueyue looked at this soul bone with a flash of greed in his eyes.
Mengyuan, on the other hand, made a move with his hand, and the soul bone flew directly over and was directly put into the soul guide by him.
This soul bone is about 50,000 years old and of decent quality.
It can enter the Titled Douluo's Dharma Eyes, but the effect is a bit too useless for the Titled Douluo.
He remembered that the skill of this soul bone seemed to be called Illusion Space. Its effect was to increase the mental power of allies by 20%, and at the same time establish a mental network to connect each other's minds.
It will have a psychedelic effect on the enemy, which will not only cause an error in the sense of direction, but also weaken the enemy's mental power through the constant psychedelic effect.
He still looked down upon a mere ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, and he had no intention of absorbing this soul bone himself.
"Very well, thank you for your hard work. According to the rules of the Holy Cult, you will be punished for your mistakes and rewarded for your merits. This seven-color flower is your prize this time."
The seven-color flower is a high-grade herb bred in the eyes of ice and fire. The flower has seven colors, corresponding to seven attributes.
This herb is an extremely terrifying poison for ordinary people, but for Yanling, it can make him one step closer to becoming a Titled Douluo.
A piece of top-quality ten thousand-year-old soul bone can indeed be exchanged for such a medicinal herb.
After listening to Mengyuan's explanation of the seven-color flower, a flash of excitement flashed in Yanling's eyes: "I would like to thank the Lord for the reward!"
Meng Yuan smiled and said: "I hope that when we meet next time, you can break through your current realm and become an elder of the Holy Religion."
"My subordinates will definitely not disappoint the Lord's expectations!"
