In the end, Huang Da fell, unwilling to accept his fate.
His death was extremely frustrating.
He had been tied down by Gulas, and by the time his soul power was exhausted, he had still failed to break through the other's defense. In the end, his head was chopped off by Man Sandao with a single slash.
"Big Sis Leader, brothers, I really owe you all for this one!" Gulas said seriously, his expression solemn.
He had heard Man Sandao describe the scene, and his heart leaped into his throat.
Ai Xi pondered, "We owe our thanks to Brother Tang Er this time. If he hadn't killed Huang San and heavily injured Huang Da, our entire team would have likely been wiped out."
"Big Sis Leader is right!"
Gulas chimed in, "Huang Da's martial soul was balanced in both offense and defense, following the same path as me. I had no way of dealing with him at all."
He rubbed his somewhat weak arm and said with lingering fear, "Don't be fooled by how impressive I looked, holding off Huang Da's attacks by myself. In reality, I was just holding on by a thread of anger."
Lu Feng nodded. This was indeed a shortcoming of balanced-type soul masters.
When two balanced-type soul masters fought, the one with lower soul power, especially when they were a major realm apart, had almost no chance of victory.
However, Lu Feng still praised Gulas, "Big Brother Gulas is too modest. The combination of your third and second soul skills gives you no small amount of defense. Even a Soul Ancestor powerhouse would have to spend a lot of effort to break through your defense."
As he spoke, Lu Feng glanced at Ai Xi without leaving a trace. This top student from Blue Tyrant Academy really knew her stuff when it came to soul beast theory.
Under the boost of the third soul skill, the defensive effect of Gulas's second soul skill had directly doubled.
It could simply be called a stroke of genius.
"Hahaha, that's natural," hearing this, Gulas scratched his head in embarrassment and burst out laughing.
At this moment, Man Sandao chimed in, "Brother Tang Er, if your soul skill wasn't a support function, you could beat me to death, and I still wouldn't believe you were an auxiliary system soul master."
In the initial battle, Man Sandao had been confronting Huang Da head-on.
The other party was a strength-type soul master and also at the Soul Ancestor cultivation level. With each collision, Man Sandao had to hold his breath and endure it with his body.
Man Sandao felt that he had been on the verge of collapse the entire time. Perhaps after being sent flying one more time, he would not have been able to get up again.
Even so, he couldn't inflict any damage on Huang Da.
On the other hand, 'Tang Er' had made Huang Da vomit blood with just a few punches.
And after that, every time Huang Da attacked, he would pause for a moment to regulate his breathing.
It was obvious that Tang Er's attacks had damaged Huang Da's internal organs. This was the real reason for the team's final victory.
"I just took advantage of an opportunity. It's all thanks to you big brothers for wearing down Huang Da's soul power first," Lu Feng waved his hand casually.
He was about to say something more when he suddenly felt a churning in his stomach.
"Gag!"
Lu Feng leaned against a large tree and began to dry-heave.
The contents of his stomach had long been emptied, but as soon as the battle was mentioned, he still felt a wave of nausea.
"Brother Tang Er, are you alright?"
Ai Xi walked over to Lu Feng and gently patted his back.
"Since you've become a soul master, you'll have to go through this day sooner or later. But fortunately, we were the ones who survived in the end," Ai Xi comforted him gently.
In Tang Er, she seemed to see a shadow of herself.
Back then, she was also as kind-hearted as Tang Er, full of aspirations for the soul master world.
After graduating, Ai Xi had traveled with a few classmates, venturing into the soul master world together.
During a spirit hunt, the team had found a treasure, but due to uneven distribution, it had led to internal strife.
That was the first time she had killed someone.
And the scar on her face was also from that incident.
"Thank you, Big Sis Leader. Don't worry, I'm fine now."
Lu Feng took out a water kettle from his bag and took a large gulp. He finally felt the nauseous feeling in his stomach disappear.
He felt that his mind was now exceptionally clear, and even his vision seemed to have improved a lot.
Lu Feng looked back at Ai Xi. Even though it was already dark, the freckles on her face were clearly visible.
The second realm of the Purple Demon Eye, Into the Minute.
Lu Feng was secretly delighted, but his face remained impassive.
After obtaining this cultivation technique, Lu Feng had barely practiced it. After all, he had to be careful to avoid Tang San.
Other Tang Sect techniques, like the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the Mysterious Jade Hand, and the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Lu Feng could explain away as having learned them through sparring.
But the Purple Demon Eye...
Lu Feng hadn't planned to stay at the academy for long anyway. There was no need to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye on a whim and then expose himself.
Now, under the mental stimulation, the Purple Demon Eye had directly advanced to the second realm. It was truly an unexpected joy.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang Er, when we get back to the spirit hunting town, I'll treat you to a drink!" Gulas patted his large belly and laughed heartily.
"I'm afraid that won't do. I'm still growing. If I drink now, I won't grow tall in the future."
"Oh, is that so? Brother Tang Er should have just graduated from the soul master academy, right?"
"Mm, I just turned fifteen last month."
In the latter half of the night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
"Big Brother Gulas, let me take over the night watch," Lu Feng walked over to Gulas and said with a faint smile.
"Huh? You're an auxiliary, what are you doing on guard duty..."
Before Gulas could finish, he suddenly remembered how Lu Feng had smashed Huang San's dog head with one punch during the day.
"Alright then. There are still a few hours until dawn. If you can't handle it, just call me."
After speaking, Gulas crawled into his tent, and before long, the sound of snoring could be heard.
Lu Feng looked at the sleeping group, his eyes narrowed, and with a few leaps, he left the camp.
Tens of kilometers away, in a low-lying area.
Lu Feng stood on a large tree, took out an iron box from his soul tool, and looked at a tent not far away with a blank expression.
Click, clack, boom.
A series of mechanical explosions sounded, and sixteen sharp arrows shot rapidly towards the tent.
A muffled grunt came from within the tent, and then it fell silent.
"Poof!"
A raging fire ignited.
"Wupao, your dog nose is really something!" Lu Feng patted Luo Wupao's large head.
"Luo!"
Luo Wupao let out a dissatisfied cry and tugged on Lu Feng's pant leg with its mouth.
"Hmph, silly dog! You? A descendant of the Light Dragon King? I'm Qin Shi Huang then!"
Lu Feng crouched down and angrily ruffled Wupao's dog head.
Before long, the tent was reduced to a pile of ashes.
Hearing the roars of the wild beasts in the surroundings, Lu Feng's figure flashed, and he quickly left the place.
A ray of sunlight broke through the darkness, and dawn quietly crept across the horizon.
"Quick, pack up, prepare to leave."
With Ai Xi's order, the team quickly sprang into action.
Gulas folded several tents together, pressed them with his knee to compress them to their smallest size, and then tied them with a rope. Then, with a wave of his right hand, the tents disappeared.
Lu Feng looked closely and saw that Gulas was wearing an inconspicuous ring on the little finger of his left hand. It should be a storage-type soul tool.
"Hoo~!"
Yali's soul power surged, and a wind blade shot out. A strong wind immediately swept across the grassland, destroying all traces of the camp.
Ai Xi scanned the grassland, nodded slightly, "Let's go, move out!"
