"What?! No way, right? How could Blue Silver Grass become an evil Spirit Master?" Wang Dong exclaimed in shock.
Su Yunlin idly played with Wang Dong's pink-blue hair. "Her Blue Silver Grass is a bit different. She herself possesses a devouring attribute. My second Martial Soul carries an evil attribute, so I'm quite sensitive to this kind of somewhat similar aura.
"And her Blue Silver Grass is imitating Tang San's old Spirit Ring configuration method to hunt corresponding spirit beasts. Come on—Tang San's Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor, the sovereign of Blue Silver Grass. She's just ordinary Blue Silver Grass, and she's trying to play it like that? Isn't she just asking to get herself killed?
"Still, Tang Ya's talent is good enough. Reaching level thirty at fifteen years old with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is already remarkable. But the wrong Spirit Rings will greatly affect her cultivation speed.
"When Bei Bei shines brilliantly beside her, she's bound to feel inferior. And once that inferiority builds to a certain point, it'll develop in a bad direction. I've also heard that Tang Ya still has a family vendetta to settle.
"When all those negative emotions gather, her devouring talent will erupt, her Martial Soul will mutate. And once she loses control and eats someone, she'll truly become an evil Spirit Master."
Wang Dong sat on Su Yunlin's lap, listening to his analysis.
"If Teacher Xiao Ya really falls into becoming an evil Spirit Master, what would you do?"
Su Yunlin pondered for a moment. "I don't know. But if I encounter someone like that, I'll cut them into eight pieces. I won't care if they're male or female, or whether they had their reasons. As long as they've eaten a person, they must die!"
Wang Dong pouted. "But Teacher Xiao Ya is such a good person. I really don't want her to fall into becoming an evil Spirit Master."
"Then stop her when she loses control."
Wang Dong nodded. "Let's get ready. It'll be night soon."
...
Night fell.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya walked out of Shrek City. Bei Bei's home was here, so he stayed at the academy during the break, while Tang Ya, having nowhere else to go, naturally remained there as well.
"Xiao Ya, what made you suddenly want to come out today?" Bei Bei asked, ruffling her hair.
Tang Ya didn't quite dare to look at him. This time, she had tricked him into coming out for another reason.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ya? Why are you so quiet today? That's not like you."
Tang Ya took a deep breath and forced herself back into her usual lively demeanor. "We've been cultivating for so long—we need to balance work and rest! Going out for a walk helps us relax, and that's good for improving Spirit Power too."
Bei Bei smiled faintly. This was the Tang Ya he was familiar with.
The two arrived at a forest. It was a shortcut from Shrek Academy to the bustling parts of the city, commonly used by older students.
On a lush tree, two figures stood atop a thick branch. Both were dressed in black nightwear, their faces covered by masks, making it impossible to identify them.
These two were none other than Su Yunlin and Wang Dong in disguise.
"Wang Dong, the plan begins!"
"No problem."
The two leapt down from the tree and began to stealthily follow, waiting for Tang Ya and Bei Bei to separate.
Tang Ya walked in front, glancing left and right, clearly nervous. Earlier that afternoon, Wang Dong had approached her and told her that Bei Bei's family was dissatisfied with his current cultivation progress and had sent people to teach him a lesson.
Though Tang Ya appeared carefree, she was actually very perceptive. She immediately caught the key point—Bei Bei's family was dissatisfied with his cultivation progress. Her first thought was whether she had been holding him back.
She had already been working hard at cultivation, yet she still couldn't keep up with Bei Bei's pace.
"Xiao Ya, why are you walking so fast? Slow down—you're about to run into a tree!"
Bei Bei suddenly spoke. Just now, Tang Ya had been lost in thought, unconsciously speeding up and creating some distance between them.
Bei Bei thought she had recalled something sad again and didn't disturb her. But now she was about to walk straight into a tree.
Tang Ya snapped back to her senses and immediately stopped. Just as she turned to look at Bei Bei, in the next moment, a strange figure grabbed her by the neck. However, the grip wasn't forceful—it was more of a feigned choke.
"Who's there?!"
Seeing Tang Ya attacked, Bei Bei instantly released his Martial Soul and charged forward. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon possessed him—two yellow and two purple Spirit Rings rose up. Unexpectedly, Bei Bei was already a four-ring Spirit Ancestor.
"Let go of Xiao Ya!"
His right arm transformed into a dragon claw as he struck toward the black-clothed figure behind Tang Ya!
Bang!
In the next instant, another black-clothed figure appeared, blocking Bei Bei's attack.
"Get lost!"
Lightning surged across Bei Bei's body as he increased his output. There was no way he would let Tang Ya be harmed!
But the black-clothed figure in front of him also exerted force, releasing a vast amount of Spirit Power.
Boom—
Bei Bei was directly blasted backward by that force, while the black-clothed figure only stepped back half a step.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lives up to its name. Unfortunately, you're still too green. If you had the cultivation of a Spirit King, you might have been able to repel me and save that girl."
A hoarse voice came from the black-clothed figure, who stood there with his hands behind his back.
"Who exactly are you?! Don't forget, this is Shrek! You dare attack Shrek students on Shrek's territory?!"
The one confronting Bei Bei was Su Yunlin, who had altered his voice using his Spirit Power.
"Heh, Shrek Academy isn't all-powerful. And they won't go to great lengths over a mere outer court student. Come at me."
Bei Bei's gaze turned icy. He then looked at Tang Ya in the distance. In his eyes, she was being strangled, her life hanging by a thread!
"Third Spirit Ability—Thunderous Fury!"
Bei Bei went all out. His arms transformed into blue-purple dragon limbs, and he activated his enhancement Spirit Ability, boosting himself in all aspects!
With a powerful step, he shot toward Su Yunlin like a cannonball.
Su Yunlin stood still. Then, a pitch-black light flashed from his forehead. In the next instant, a strange domain spread out.
"Seal!"
Once Bei Bei was enveloped by the domain, the lightning he prided himself on became unusable.
"How is this possible?!"
Before his shock could settle, Su Yunlin's fist had already arrived, striking him in the face and knocking him to the ground.
Though knocked down, Bei Bei was an elite of the outer court. The moment his face hit the ground, he sprang back up to counterattack.
But just as he stood, another punch met him head-on. He fell again.
"Heh, is that all you've got? What are you using to protect your little girlfriend? One of the 'Twin Stars' of the outer court? The strongest attacker? What a joke!"
Su Yunlin spoke as he struck. Beating Bei Bei wasn't the goal—making him realize something was. To protect those close to him, strength was essential.
Bei Bei's fighting spirit was incredibly strong. Or rather, he had the makings of a powerhouse—it was just that he had neglected himself due to romance. Even after being knocked down over a dozen times, he still struggled back to his feet.
"Damn it!" By now, his face was swollen and bruised.
"Enough! Stop it! Don't hit Bei Bei anymore!" Tang Ya couldn't bear it any longer.
Perhaps from being beaten so much, Bei Bei's mind was a bit dazed. He gave Tang Ya a gentle smile. "Xiao Ya, I'll save you now! Radiant Holy Dragon!"
Golden light began to radiate from his body. He was about to forcibly activate the Radiant Holy Dragon bloodline within him.
"Tch, still not giving up?" Su Yunlin flashed forward and threw a heavy punch, directly interrupting Bei Bei's action.
This blow was especially powerful. Bei Bei's eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground.
"No… don't hit Bei Bei anymore!" Tang Ya began to cry. She broke free from Wang Dong's hold and tried to run toward him.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, an extremely furious voice rang out. A vast and overwhelming surge of Spirit Power swept through the area!
Su Yunlin immediately turned his head. A young woman, around twenty-five years old, stood atop a tree branch. Her long black hair fell to her waist, and her face was beautiful—but now, veins bulged across it. Her originally bright and intelligent black eyes had turned blood-red, filled with endless killing intent!
Behind her, a crescent moon appeared, and Spirit Rings rose one after another.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red!
An eight-ring Spirit Douluo—one who possessed a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring!
"Damn it!"
