Having decided on the name for the Spirit Core, Yu Xiaogang and his group walked out of the Fallen Spirit Master's secret chamber and came to the surface to fill their stomachs.
Upon reaching the surface, everyone was not at all surprised to see a scene covered in corpses.
All the villagers who had previously been controlled by that Fallen Spirit Master were lying on the ground, and the entire village was silent.
"Sigh, let's gather these villagers together and burn them later; they are all pitiful people."
Yue Guan sighed.
Although as a Spirit Master he had long been accustomed to death, and Yue Guan had even prepared himself for the possibility of his own death at any time.
But seeing such a scene of corpses littering the ground, he still couldn't help but feel sorrow.
Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, nodded, sighing in his heart as well.
In this place, the Douluo Continent, living at the bottom of society is truly difficult.
These people not only have to worry about their livelihood but also worry about the day the Empire might conscript them or force them into labor.
Beyond that, they also have to be careful not to offend Spirit Masters.
Furthermore, there are all kinds of disasters that could affect them, such as Wolftaken, Spirit Beast riots, battles between powerful individuals, and Fallen Spirit Masters.
Honestly, to live safely in such an environment, one really needs a great deal of luck.
Just as Yu Xiaogang and his group were discussing their next arrangements, suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from not far away.
Along with it, there was also a sound of conversation.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Hao, it's just ahead, I sensed living people!"
A female voice reached the ears of Yu Xiaogang and the others, and immediately after, a burst of hurried footsteps followed, and soon, three figures appeared around the corner.
Seeing those three figures, especially one of them, Yue Guan and the others were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned their gazes to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang twitched the corner of his mouth, clearly not expecting to run into them here.
On the other side, after the three people who walked around the corner carefully identified the identities of Yu Xiaogang's group, the two men among them also had their expressions change.
The next second, huge hammers appeared in their hands; it was the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Spirit Hall, what are you doing here!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, holding their Clear Sky Hammers, stared at the four people present with grave expressions, and Tang Xiao demanded sternly.
Tang Hao did not speak; he just looked at Yu Xiaogang with a gloomy face, his hands gripping the Clear Sky Hammer tightly.
"Kid from the Clear Sky Sect, tsk, what bad luck, to actually run into you all."
Yue Guan frowned, very dissatisfied with Tang Xiao's questioning.
A mere Spirit Saint questioning him, a Spirit Douluo?
Where do you get the nerve?
Passing over Tang Hao and the other, Yue Guan's gaze landed on the woman beside them.
The woman was wearing a long white dress, was about twenty years old, and had long azure hair tied behind her head.
Yue Guan rarely praised the beauty of female Spirit Masters, because most female Spirit Masters were not as good-looking as he was; what right did such people have to receive his praise?
But the woman before him could have such an honor, because she possessed a kind of beauty that seemed to gather the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.
Natural, pure, and full of vitality—these were the feelings she brought to everyone.
"For such a person to have ended up with two guys from the Clear Sky Sect, it's really..."
Yue Guan felt a sense of regret in his heart.
However, this regret came and went quickly.
Although this woman did not reveal her strength, being able to travel with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao was enough to represent her extraordinary nature.
Besides that, her beauty also proved that she was not simple.
If it were an ordinary person, possessing such beauty, they would probably have been snatched away by those nobles long ago.
In other words, this might be a Spirit Master who had gained the approval of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, two Geniuses with extremely high standards.
"When did such a person appear on the Douluo Continent?"
Yue Guan thought to himself.
Gui Mei did not think too much; he was just observing the three people opposite them.
After seeing the three of them and frowning at Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, Bibi Dong also curiously examined the woman opposite them.
And Yu Xiaogang's gaze was even more direct.
Ever since the three of them appeared, his eyes had not left that woman.
"You guy, what are you looking at?!"
Tang Xiao noticed Yu Xiaogang's gaze and immediately blocked the front of the woman, as if guarding some precious treasure.
Tang Hao also looked at Yu Xiaogang with an angry face, appearing ready to swing his hammer at the slightest disagreement.
After hearing Tang Xiao's roar, Bibi Dong turned her head to look at Yu Xiaogang, and then withdrew her gaze.
Although she didn't know what Yu Xiaogang was thinking at the moment, Bibi Dong knew his look all too well.
The look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes when he watched the woman didn't contain any emotions that made her uneasy; instead, it was filled with curiosity and surprise.
Bibi Dong often saw this look; every time Yu Xiaogang encountered some interesting knowledge, he would have this expression.
"So, is there something strange about her?"
Bibi Dong looked the woman up and down, her eyes also full of curiosity.
Tang Xiao's body blocked the woman, and only then did Yu Xiaogang withdraw his gaze.
Honestly, he was very surprised at how this Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast dared to appear beside Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, these two Geniuses of the Clear Sky Sect.
"It has always been Spirit Masters looking for Spirit Beasts; I didn't expect that today, a Spirit Beast would actively seek out Spirit Masters."
"How interesting."
Yu Xiaogang didn't even know how to evaluate this Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast for a moment.
However, it might also be that the other party was confident that she would absolutely not be discovered.
According to Arou, the growth trajectory of a Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast requires them to go among humans so that they can grow smoothly.
And in the process of growing, before Cultivating to Rank 70, Transformed Spirit Beasts are at risk of being exposed; at that stage, they have nowhere to hide in the eyes of a Titled Douluo.
Even more powerful Spirit Douluos can see through them.
Upon reaching Rank 70, Transformed Spirit Beasts enter their mature stage; at this time, they are completely integrated into humanity, and even if they appear in front of a Titled Douluo, their identity will not be detected.
And the woman before him was clearly a Transformed Spirit Beast that had already entered the mature stage.
According to reason, as long as she didn't foolishly run to the Elder Hall in Spirit City, no one would be able to see through her.
But there happened to be an exception: Yu Xiaogang.
His achievements in Mental Energy could be said to surpass ninety percent of Titled Douluos.
Relying on his extraordinary mental power, Yu Xiaogang could easily discern the elemental particles between heaven and earth and the way they flowed.
Through observation, these elemental particles were in completely different states around powerful individuals of different Ranks.
A Spirit Saint is one way, a Spirit Douluo is another, and a Titled Douluo is yet another.
If he were simply observing a Spirit Master, Yu Xiaogang might have just thought that the woman before him had a special situation.
But Yu Xiaogang had met Arou, a Transformed Spirit Beast.
Through observation, Yu Xiaogang discovered that around a Spirit Beast, these elemental particles were in a completely different state than they were around human Spirit Masters.
Even Arou, who had already transformed into a human, was the same.
And the elemental particles around the woman who appeared beside Tang Hao and the other were similar to those around Arou back then.
A Spirit Master who had no information about her before, yet could now follow beside Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, clearly possessed extraordinary strength, and at the same time had a situation similar to Arou.
Wasn't the answer obvious?
