On the road to the underworld.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had already returned to their former appearances. Zhu Lu looked at Dai Huabin. "Huabin, was all of this worth it? Just to take revenge on Su Yunlin?"
At this moment, there was no longer any madness or evil energy on Dai Huabin's face. There was only calm.
"Not anymore. I don't know why I fell into evil back then either. Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature enough. Ever since I was young, I was used to fine clothes and luxurious food. My smooth-sailing days developed my arrogant personality that only allowed success and never failure.
"Even you, back then I treated you as a component for a Martial Soul Fusion Ability, not as a partner or companion. Lulu, I'm sorry. Is a scumbag like me still worth you giving up your life for?"
Zhu Lu shook her head. "Ever since I formed a Martial Soul connection with you, I placed you above myself. Perhaps it was because that was how our clans educated us. Later, I fell in love with that Dai Huabin who looked down on everything.
"You feared nothing and were afraid of nothing. Maybe that was why I fell in love with you. I chose to let you devour me, and I also had my own selfish motives. After all, within the Holy Spirit Cult, there were too many people coveting me.
"I didn't want you to be hurt because you stood up for me, nor did I want to be defiled by others. I willingly let you devour me. Unfortunately, in the end, we still couldn't win. But thankfully, we at least ate quite a few Evil Spirit Masters!"
Although Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had joined the Holy Spirit Cult, they had not been like other Evil Spirit Masters, relying on harming innocents to increase their cultivation.
Dai Huabin had indeed used evil methods to raise his strength, but his sacrifices were all Evil Spirit Masters. The Holy Spirit Cult was itself a place where venomous insects devoured one another.
The Holy Spirit Cult's leader was also happy to see Dai Huabin continuously grow stronger, because what the Holy Spirit Cult upheld was only the bloody and violent law of the jungle.
Dai Huabin had eaten who knew how many Evil Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts to reach his current cultivation! But everything was ultimately empty.
Dai Huabin embraced Zhu Lu. "Lulu, in the next life, I definitely won't fail you."
"Mm~"
...
On the competition stage.
Dai Huabin was already dead. Su Yunlin walked onto the competition stage, and a cluster of gray flames appeared in his hand, burning Dai Huabin's remains away.
Su Yunlin looked at the people from Holy Spirit Sect. "Who dares come up?"
But not a single person from Holy Spirit Sect dared to step forward. Zhongli Wu hurriedly contacted Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng nodded and said loudly to Zheng Zhan, "In this Spirit Master Tournament, Holy Spirit Sect forfeits!"
Zheng Zhan confirmed it again, then began announcing, "Holy Spirit Sect forfeits! This match, Tang Sect wins!"
Su Yunlin snorted coldly. "Trash!"
On the chairman's platform, Xu Tianran let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, Holy Spirit Sect had forfeited. Allowing Evil Spirit Masters to obtain the championship of the Spirit Master Tournament would also affect his reputation. From the looks of it now, there would be no major problem.
Although it was a little regrettable that the Sun Moon Empire had not obtained a good ranking this time, it was still better than Evil Spirit Masters winning the championship. In any case, the Spirit Master Tournament's championship had always been contracted by Shrek Academy.
Things like honor were not of much use to his rule.
With the end of the semifinals, this Spirit Master Tournament was already nearing its conclusion. However, at this moment, undercurrents surged within Radiant City.
...
"Yunlin, I received important information here!" Huo Yuhao came to find Su Yunlin and the others.
Su Yunlin chuckled. "Which old flame of yours is it this time?"
Huo Yuhao's old face turned red. Then he told Su Yunlin about Juzi.
"Oh~ So that's how it is. Too interesting. In the future, if she attacks, I'll sacrifice you out there. Sell your looks. I believe she'll fall for that trick," Su Yunlin said with a smile.
Huo Yuhao blushed as he told Su Yunlin the intelligence, and also said that the possibility between him and Juzi was no longer very high.
Su Yunlin shook his head. "You still have a chance. Xu Tianran is a eunuch. His lower half is paralyzed, and he can't do human affairs. So your Senior Sister Juzi is still clean.
"Besides, since she has feelings for you, gave you her first kiss, and even told you information at a time like this, it means she likes you very much. Take her down early. It'll be useful for my future plans. After all, the Sun Moon Empire is quite hard to chew through."
Huo Yuhao's expression was awkward. He felt that he had a little too much romantic luck.
"Right, Yunlin, remember to come with me to the soul engineer tournament. I feel like this tournament isn't simple either."
"Got it."
...
Soul engineer tournament.
This time, during the soul engineer tournament, Huo Yuhao infiltrated the Holy Spirit Cult and was noticed by 2 Evil Spirit Master Titled Douluo. They were even willing to offer a level 9 stationary soul cannon shell.
As for the grand prize of this soul engineer tournament, it was a level 9 soul tool named the Sun Moon Divine Needle, made by the Sun Moon Empire's Starry Sky Douluo, Ye Yulin.
The Black Night Divine Needle of Su Yunlin's father, Su Jinming, and this Sun Moon Divine Needle could be considered to have the same origin. Both of them had been modified based on the Solar Divine Needle.
By coincidence, the last time Su Jinming and Elder Mu visited the Sun Moon Empire, they just so happened to obtain the design draft for the Sun Moon Divine Needle and the production plan for the Solar Divine Needle.
Only then did Su Jinming design his own Black Night Divine Needle.
Theoretically speaking, the power of the Black Night Divine Needle was far above the Solar Divine Needle, and it did not have any charging issues. It could be charged using the darkness-attribute Spirit Power in his own body.
As for Spirit Power consumption, that was not a major problem for Su Jinming and the others. Su Jinming was a Super Douluo, and he possessed a Spirit Core. He had condensed a darkness-attribute Spirit Core, so there was no issue with Spirit Power.
As for Spiritual Power, Su Jinming had a fairly good head Spirit Bone, which could support multiple uses. If that truly was not enough, he could still hand the Black Night Divine Needle to Su Tianxuan to use.
As a level 98 Super Douluo, only Su Tianxuan could unleash the Black Night Divine Needle's maximum power. Su Tianxuan with the Black Night Divine Needle could fight even an Ultimate Douluo!
The Sun Moon Divine Needle was a good thing. In any case, the more level 9 soul tools they had, the better. What Shrek Academy's elders lacked was exactly this kind of thing. If it were given to Elder Mu, perhaps Elder Mu could do something extraordinary with it!
The instruction Su Yunlin gave Huo Yuhao was that the Sun Moon Divine Needle must be taken!
Su Yunlin accompanied Huo Yuhao at the soul engineer tournament, while the others went to carry out other tasks.
For example, Huo Yuhao had found buyers in the black market who could sell rare metals, so Tang Sect and Shrek split off a group of people to receive the goods.
And tonight was also the moment when Body Sect would attack the Sun Moon Empire and assassinate Xu Tianran!
"Since you have all come, don't hide your heads and show only your tails. Come out."
An aged voice resounded through the sky. The sky suddenly seemed to tear apart, and a black dragon slowly emerged from the void.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao.
"When did Dragon Emperor Douluo become someone's watchdog guarding their courtyard? Truly, the ways of the world have declined!"
As these words rang out, the sky suddenly split open, and a dense dark green cloud appeared across the air. The green cloud unfurled, and a figure walked out from within it.
Body Sect's Sect Master, Du Busi.
Long Xiaoyao looked at Du Busi and snorted coldly. "Your elder brother was heavily injured by Mu En back then. Today, if you also wish to remain here and sever Body Sect's lineage, this old man will fulfill your wish."
Du Busi pointed at Long Xiaoyao and said coldly, "Long Xiaoyao, stop relying on your age to act superior here. If I remember correctly, you were originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire, yet now you have not only fallen so low as to join an Evil Spirit Master sect, you have even become the Sun Moon Empire's dog. This Sect Master looks down on you."
Long Xiaoyao was slightly moved. "Heavenly Soul Empire? Your Body Sect has pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Soul Empire?"
Du Busi sneered. "My Body Sect is the Heavenly Soul Empire's guardian sect! Long Xiaoyao, if you still acknowledge yourself as a person of the Heavenly Soul Empire, then hurry up and move aside!"
Long Xiaoyao shook his head and said calmly, "On account of you acting for the Heavenly Soul Empire, this old man can spare your life today.
"Further words are useless. You should understand the rules of Titled Douluo. Since we are interfering in worldly conflicts, let us speak in the sky. Xuan Zi, and the one beside you, come out as well. Today, this old man will face all of you."
The moment his words fell, a yellow light and a purple-black light shot straight into the sky.
Taotie Douluo, Xuan Zi.
Dark Night Douluo, Su Tianxuan.
