Chapter 64 Xuanzi was shocked! What? Liu Yuan killed the Evil Soul Master, the Soul Saint?
On the barren plain, withered grass swayed in the breeze, but no one paid any attention to the surrounding scenery.
All eyes, whether on the level 98 Poison Immortal, the level 95 Sky-Supporting Douluo, or the noble Xu Jiujiu, were fixed on Liu Yuan.
Vina's words were so informative that they momentarily rendered these powerful figures at the pinnacle of the continent incapable of thinking.
Poison Undying's emerald green eyes flashed with an extremely complex light, a mixture of shock, suspicion, and, above all, an uncontrollable ecstasy.
He took another step forward, gripping Liu Yuan's shoulder tightly with his large hand. His voice was hoarse with emotion.
"You brat, is what Vina just said true? Did you really personally kill one of their Soul Kings and one of their Soul Saints?"
The surrounding Sky Douluo, Shadow Douluo, and Giant Hammer Douluo all held their breath, waiting for the person in question to respond personally.
However, faced with that probing gaze that would make any young man's heart race and his blood boil, Liu Yuan's expression remained as still as a deep well, without the slightest ripple.
He didn't follow Vina's words to boast about his own prowess, nor did he show the slightest arrogance of someone who had achieved early success.
He simply looked calmly at Du Bu Si, and slowly spoke in a concise manner, almost like a formal official document:
"Master, the situation is indeed as Vina said, but the details are not as exaggerated as you all think."
Liu Yuan paused for a moment, then continued:
"That fifth-ring evil spirit master had his right arm crippled during the previous probing and is in a state of serious injury."
"He was too eager for quick success during the pursuit, and I lured him into an ambush, where I used the explosive power of the Qilin Treasure Technique to kill him."
"As for that seventh-ring Soul Saint..."
Liu Yuan remained calm: "That's mostly due to luck."
"At that time, we were chased to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, where we happened to disturb a 100,000-year-old Death Spider King that was laying eggs."
"I simply took advantage of their eagerness to capture me, luring them into the Spider King's attack range. In the end, it was that soul beast that killed them."
"I merely happened to be there and borrowed the power of the forest overlord."
Liu Yuan's words succinctly explained what had happened, attributing all the credit to "serious injury" and "luck."
But who among those present wasn't a seasoned veteran?
After listening to Liu Yuan's account, Du Busi and the other titled Douluo around him exchanged glances. Instead of relief, their eyes revealed a deeper fear.
luck?
In the face of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it is already a miracle that a three-ring Soul Master can escape unscathed. Not only did Liu Yuan survive being chased by a Title Douluo, but he was also able to devise a "borrowed knife to kill" plan in an instant and precisely drag a seven-ring Soul Saint into a deadly predicament.
Such calm judgment under extreme pressure, the ability to utilize the environment, and the stealthy methods that allowed him to escape from the clutches of a 100,000-year-old soul beast cannot be explained simply by "luck".
This requires absolute mental fortitude and an extremely high level of mastery over soul power.
"What a perfect timing!" Sky Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his gaze towards Liu Yuan had completely changed.
"Young friend Liu Yuan, there's no need to be so modest."
"To be able to turn the tables and kill an opponent while being pursued by a Soul Saint, such wisdom and courage are something I have never seen in my life."
"The Body Sect is truly blessed to have such a disciple."
Giant Hammer Douluo nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if it weren't for young friend Liu Yuan's decisiveness, I would probably have become nourishment for a tree by now. Such achievements deserve the title of young hero."
Immediately, praises rose and fell all around.
Standing to the side for a long time, watching Liu Yuan remain calm despite being surrounded by onlookers, Xu Jiujiu's heart was filled with turmoil.
She had guessed that Liu Yuan was outstanding, but she hadn't expected to underestimate him; his personal abilities had reached an almost monstrous level...
For a moment, I even felt a little envious of Vina.
...
certainly,
After this ordeal, the team did not choose to return to the Heavenly Soul Empire, but instead continued to carry out their original mission of delivering messages.
However, given the scale of the attack by evil spirit masters, Du Busi naturally refused to return.
He simply dropped all the trivial matters within the sect and took charge personally.
The escort, originally provided by Giant Hammer Douluo, was instantly upgraded to being personally protected by a level 98 Super Douluo.
On the way to Xingluo Imperial City, Xu Jiujiu's attitude towards Liu Yuan underwent a complete change.
She is an extremely rational member of the royal family.
Although she could see the almost transparent tendency of marriage between Liu Yuan and Vina, and knew that this genius was already "taken," it did not stop her from befriending him.
In Xu Jiujiu's view, Liu Yuan, a prodigy, will inevitably become one of the pinnacle beings in the Douluo Continent in the future.
Instead of looking up to the future, it's better to cultivate a relationship now, before the other person has fully matured.
Therefore, throughout the journey, Xu Jiujiu took meticulous care of Liu Yuan's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and her words and actions were full of admiration for Liu Yuan.
Several days later, the group successfully arrived at Xingluo Imperial City and completed their mission of delivering the message.
After finishing her official business, Xu Jiujiu did not rush to see the guests off. Instead, as the host, she took Liu Yuan and Vina to enjoy themselves in Xingluo Imperial City for several days.
She took Liu Yuan to the most prestigious soul tool auction house in Xingluo, and also to the secret vault of the royal family's treasured ancient books.
During this time, Vina and Liu Yuan's relationship also grew stronger during their shared travels.
When the moment of parting arrived, Xu Jiujiu personally led the Star Luo royal family's honor guard to the city gate. The meticulousness of the ceremony drew admiring glances from the people of the Star Luo Empire.
As for her return journey, Vina originally planned to go back to the Heavenly Soul Imperial City to report to her father in person.
But just as they were about to part ways, Emperor Tianhun's secret letter was transmitted to Vina through a soul tool.
The letter was brief and clear: there's no rush to report back; you should return to the main sect with Liu Yuan and wait there.
The Heavenly Soul Emperor's intentions are quite clear.
In his eyes, although the ambush by the evil spirit master was dangerous, it was a "catalyst" that promoted the relationship between the two.
Vina's most important task now is not to deal with politics, but to strike while the iron is hot and completely solidify the goodwill built up through their shared life and death.
Only by staying in the Body Sect and by Liu Yuan's side can the Heavenly Soul Royal Family be truly bound to this future Sect Master of the Body Sect.
Thus, Liu Yuan and his group reunited and, escorted by Du Busi, embarked on their journey back to the Body Sect.
...
Meanwhile, within Shrek Academy, thanks to their keen geopolitical awareness, information about the great battle on the border had already been relayed back.
In an office not far from the Sea God Pavilion, the air was thick with the smell of alcohol.
Xuanzi was slumped in a large chair, completely unladylike, holding a huge chicken leg and a pot of fine wine, muttering complaints that the geniuses he had recently found were all unsatisfactory.
Just then, the office door was pushed open with a bang, and a teacher in charge of intelligence work rushed in.
"Elder Xuan! Something terrible has happened!"
The staff member was running so fast that he was stammering.
Xuanzi frowned slightly and glanced at him with some displeasure: "What kind of behavior is this, all flustered like this? Even if the sky falls, Elder Mu will hold it up. Speak, what is it?"
"We have the latest and most accurate information about that genius with double pupils from the Body Sect that you previously asked us to pay close attention to!" The staff member presented a sealed intelligence letter.
Upon hearing the words "double pupils," Xuanzi's previously cloudy eyes instantly turned fiery.
He sat up abruptly, tossed the chicken leg he was holding onto the table, and snatched the letter.
"Speak quickly! What is the news?" Xuanzi urged impatiently as he opened the letter.
"He...he was at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, where he killed a five-ring evil soul master with a cultivation level of thirty-nine, and indirectly killed a seven-ring soul saint-level evil soul master through a scheme!"
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Xuanzi's hand, which was opening the letter, trembled violently, and he stood up abruptly from his chair.
"What did you say? A level 39 Soul Slayer Saint?"
Xuanzi's smell of alcohol vanished instantly. He stared intently at the contents of the letter, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
