Spiritual Probing instantly covered the entire area like an invisible domain. Kong Mingan used this power to capture the exact status of every dead Moon-Eating Silver Wolf and every surviving member of the team. He had achieved this clear-out by sharing his mental force the moment he appeared.

He sent a massive wave of junk information into the minds of the wolves to destroy their mental focus. Meanwhile, the surviving team members were simply knocked unconscious. Kong Mingan knew that a complete clear-out was essential to avoid any unnecessary trouble later. 

After confirming that no one was awake to watch him, Kong Mingan began to act. All the spirit power inside Zhang Lexuan's body was suddenly extracted and compressed. He condensed this energy into a tiny point of brilliant light at her fingertip.

This was not just a simple ball of energy. It was spirit power that was rotating and collapsing at a high speed in a way that defied common sense. It looked as if a Soul Core was being created right there.

The surrounding energy from the world was torn and swallowed by this force. However, under Kong Mingan's perfect control, the energy remained peaceful and did not lose control. Finally, this ball of power turned into a silver needle. It was as fine as a hair but as solid as a real object, emitting a glow like soft moonlight. 

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the forest. The Moon-Eating Silver Wolf King completely shattered the ice on its body. Its ferocity grew even stronger as it prepared to pounce again.

But at the exact same moment it broke free, the silver needle at Kong Mingan's fingertip vanished. It did not just shoot out fast; it seemed to break through the limits of space itself. When it reappeared, it had already landed silently in the center of the wolf king's forehead. 

The charge of the Moon-Eating Silver Wolf King stopped instantly. For the first time, a look of extreme horror appeared in its fierce eyes. It instinctively tried to use all its spirit power to create a defense at its forehead.

However, its energy was uncontrollably torn and swallowed by the silver needle. It felt exactly like the moment it had condensed its first Soul Core. The wolf king fell into a complete panic.

The sudden appearance of what felt like a second Soul Core broke the balance of power inside its body. All of its spirit power and mental force began to surge into this new point, completely out of its control. 

The original Soul Core inside the wolf's body sensed the new one. The two began to fight over the energy, using the beast's body as a battlefield. This led to a total loss of control. If a second Soul Core goes out of control in a spirit beast, the results are deadly.

For example, the Snow Empress once tried to condense a second Soul Core with her massive cultivation and failed, which caused severe damage to her origin. This Moon-Eating Silver Wolf King had only recently become a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, so it had no chance.

A faint sound came from the wolf's forehead, followed by a massive explosion. The wolf king's head exploded like a ripe watermelon. Its headless body stood still for a second before falling heavily to the ground. Then, a dazzling blood-red spirit ring slowly emerged from the corpse. 

For Kong Mingan, battles were either impossible to win or an absolute crushing victory. This beast clearly fell into the second category. He looked calmly at the rest of the wolf pack. They were in chaos and fear after seeing their leader die so suddenly.

They whimpered and quickly scattered back into the dark forest. Kong Mingan did not chase them. Instead, he walked over to the Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring and began the absorption process. 

As the immense power of the ring surged into the body, Kong Mingan did several things at once. He transformed some of the energy into fine threads to connect to the dying team members on the ground.

He raised his hand, and spirit power outlined a soul skill module. The door to his own private space appeared and opened. He took out rich green life energy and integrated it into the bodies of the injured. He also took out stalks of Blue Silver Immortal Herb and placed them into their mouths.

Among this team, four people had already signed contracts with his organization and were seeds he had planted. Since he wanted them to work for him in the future, he saved everyone he could. 

Time passed in silence. When Zhang Lexuan finally woke up and regained her consciousness, her eyes were clear again. The absolute calmness of Kong Mingan had vanished. She realized immediately that he had left, and she felt a sudden sense of loss.

However, she quickly noticed something new. She raised her hand, and a blood-red Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring appeared beside her. It proved she had successfully become a Spirit Douluo. 

A weak but happy female voice called out to her, asking if she had succeeded. Zhang Lexuan looked over and saw that most of her teammates were awake and gathered nearby. They were all injured and wrapped in messy bandages, but most were still alive. She quickly got up and asked how everyone was doing.

The girl who spoke looked sad and told her that they survived because Zhang Lexuan had killed the wolf king. However, she pointed out that two of their friends, Lin Lin and Zhao Ming, had died. 

Zhang Lexuan felt a deep pain in her heart when she saw the two bodies covered in white cloths. She felt terrible guilt for what happened. The other girl tried to comfort her, saying it wasn't her fault and that they all would have died without her. A Spirit Saint named Shi Shan sat up and spoke with anger.

He blamed the teacher in charge, saying the old man was nowhere to be found when they needed him. The surviving members were all furious. The academy rules said the teacher must protect them during a hunt. That was the only reason they felt safe enough to come to this dangerous part of the forest. 

All their anger was focused on the person who had neglected his duty. At that moment, a yellow light finally arrived from the sky. It smelled like alcohol as it landed. A man named Xuan Zi shook his head and looked at the mess. He saw everyone was hurt and asked what had happened and why things were in such a state.

The survivors all looked at him with silent rage. In that silence, Zhang Lexuan stood up slowly. She wiped the blood and tears from her face. Her eyes were no longer gentle. They were cold and full of disappointment. She looked at Xuan Zi and asked him where he had been and what exactly had happened.
