Xiao Yi glanced at the Electrolux controlling the Huo Yuhao body; an extremely noble breath spread around, containing the death and darkness with a little sacredness.
"How dare you go against the death messenger? Who are you?"
The evil soul master was startled and backed away in horror, looking at the floating Huo Yuhao in front of him, then he ordered the corpse puppets to attack him.
"By just mastering the basic necromancy, you call yourself a death messenger. If I had to, then I would be called a soul reaper by now."
The Electrolux replied and then waved the staff shadow toward the corpse puppets, releasing large magic rings, and added, "Go, you can now take your revenge."
The death messenger was startled, feeling his control over the corpse puppets disappear.
"No, why can't I control them? What have you done?"
Instantly, amidst the horrified screams of the evil soul master, all his corpse puppets jumped and suppressed him with timers ticking on their bodies.
Boom!!!
The whole stage shook, and the death messenger's existence was incinerated in the blast; then the Electrolux reminded Yuhao,
"I am going to fall into slumber again. Remember, there is no good or evil in this world; everything depends on your heart. When your heart is cleared from the hatred, I will become your third martial spirit."
After speaking, the Electrolux disappeared, returning the body control back to Huo Yuhao.
Bang!!!
The next moment, the figure with horns appeared and landed on the stage, releasing heavy soul power fluctuation. He is the Xuan Lao who just chased the death messenger here.
"Where is that evil bastard?" Xuan Lao asked coldly, looking at the surroundings. Huo Yuhao was startled, and then he replied,
"He couldn't control his powers and self-destructed because of it,"
Xuan Lao was startled looking at him and then sighed, shaking his head, and spoke, "Let's go; we should leave this place."
After speaking, both of them noticed another figure appeared on the stage; it was none other than Xiao Yi, who decided to show himself lest Xuan Lao doubt him.
"It's good you are alive," Xiao Yi spoke, looking at Huo Yuhao, and then sighed in relief and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Yi, I am fine." Huo Yuhao replied, glanced at him in surprise, and then smiled a little, feeling a little warm in his heart, as if someone were still caring about him.
"Lad, inform your teachers before taking actions; they were worried about you,"
Xuan Lao reminded looking at Xiao Yi, but there was an appreciation in his gaze; he nodded in his heart after seeing he is here to save his friend.
Xiao Yi nodded, and then the Xuan Lao waved his hand and took both of them back to the cave entrance near the other students and teachers. Zhou,
"Huo Yuhao, Xiao Yi,"
Instantly the student and teacher spoke, looking at them and sighing in relief. Especially Wang Dong became happy after seeing Huo Yuhao intact; all her worry disappeared.
"I will return to the academy in order to heal the injured students. Zhou Yi, you take the remaining students to the Star Luo capital city."
Xuan Lao then instructed and then left. Teacher Zhou Yi glanced at all the students around and then spoke solemnly.
"Let's go to the capital city of the Star Luo Empire. Next, we will participate in the competition, and don't let anyone know about today's incident."
Huo Yuhao and others were startled and then nodded. Soon the night passed.
…
The next morning, all the students, along with teacher Zhou Yi, appeared near the star Luo city gate, and when they passed through it, they were surprised observing the structure of the city.
'It is more advanced than the Shrek city, but the soul guidance tools used in the cities are almost the same,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, observing everything with his spirit eye and recording the mechanism of all the soul tools in his mind.
Soon all of them appeared in front of the Moon Pavilion, a private courtyard-style inn or residence, likely arranged by the Star Luo Empire for honored guests and top-tier academies like their Shrek.
All of them walked inside, appeared on the floor assigned for them, and chose their own rooms.
Xiao Yi glanced at the secure and spacious room and nodded, satisfied.
"Next I should absorb the third soul ring for my heart and mind martial spirits before the competition,"
He muttered and directly appeared and sat down cross-legged on the bed as he didn't have much time; tomorrow the competition will begin.
"I will reabsorb the copied soul ring of the three-eyed fantasy fox and blood python; my second soul ring is already twelve and sixteen thousand years old. I will just copy and fuse them and then absorb the higher-age spirit ring."
Xiao Yi planned and then nodded, releasing his heart martial spirit; instantly countless red particles released from his body, creating a bloody mist layer on his physique.
At the same time, a heart mark appeared on his chest, and two soul rings appeared hovering around him, one purple with two marks and the other dark black with one red mark.
Xiao Yi glanced at the dark spirit ring and raised both palms of his hands.
Copy!!
Instantly two small black rings materialized, hovering above his palm. Both of them are similar to his second spirit ring, and each contains the complete power of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast.
Fusion!
Instantly both spirit rings flew toward each other and merged. At the same time, the aura around the spirit ring increased, and its color became denser, along with three light red marks that appeared above the soul ring.
"Thirty-two thousand is enough for the third soul ring," Xiao Yi muttered, and then he urged his heart martial spirit and attracted the spirit ring toward it.
The next moment the spirit ring flew and started hovering above his head, and heavy pressure and energy started impacting his physique and soul.
Xiao Yi endured it calmly, and his three soul cores started rotating at unimaginable speed and absorbing the energy. There was no soul shock, as it was the copy of an already subdued spirit ring.
