Chapter 189 A Soul Bone Delivered to Our Doorstep! A Fire-Attribute Clear Sky Hammer?
Outside the Heavenly Battle Arena.
The morning sun was just right, warm but not scorching, and its soft light fell on Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier as they walked side by side, but the atmosphere seemed somewhat subtle.
Suddenly, Tang Chuan stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Xiao Ruier beside him, his voice tinged with a hint of apology, and whispered:
"Rui'er, about what happened with Ye Lingling... are you still angry?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier stopped in her tracks.
She didn't look at Tang Chuan immediately, but turned her face slightly away. Sunlight shone on her fair neck. After a while, she let out a soft hum, her tone revealing little emotion, and said:
"I'm not that petty."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ruier glared at Tang Chuan with her golden eyes, a hint of reproach in her gaze.
"However, you're not allowed to let other girls hug you anymore. Otherwise..." She paused, lowering her voice, but with a rare hint of arrogance.
"Otherwise, I really won't talk to you anymore."
Seeing her feigned magnanimity despite clearly caring, Tang Chuan felt a sense of relief and quickly assured her, "Okay, I promise! The situation was sudden, and I didn't have time to react."
The next second, he leaned closer and whispered with a hint of mockery:
"But... the way you looked when you were jealous was actually quite cute."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible blush instantly appeared on Xiao Ruier's cheeks. Then, she lightly punched Tang Chuan's shoulder and said with a playful laugh:
"Who's jealous? Stop talking nonsense!"
However, at that moment, the two of them frowned almost simultaneously, and suddenly felt the scene in front of them distort slightly, and felt a sense of oppression in their hearts.
I felt like something was off, and I had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Oh no, it seems we're being followed."
"Could they be from Shrek Academy?"
"No, that can't be it. The people from Shrek Academy wouldn't dare!"
The relaxed smiles on Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier's faces vanished instantly, replaced by identical solemnity and vigilance, their gazes then sharply sweeping across their surroundings.
Not far away, in the shadows of a building.
An elderly man dressed in a moon-white Soul Master robe was staring intently at them with a cold gaze. This man was Shi Nian, the team leader from Canghui Academy, whose Martial Soul was Remnant Dream and who was a level 72 Spiritual Soul Master.
Seeing their sudden alertness, a hint of surprise appeared on his wrinkled face, followed by a low chuckle:
"Hmph, are these two brats here to participate in the Soul Battle or to flirt? Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Once you both fully enter my dreamlike realm, everything... will be over. As long as you two are dead, Canghui Academy will be guaranteed to win this afternoon's Soul Battle."
After saying that, his figure disappeared into the shadows behind him like a ghost.
Unbeknownst to Shi Nian, a middle-aged man with a strand of golden hair hanging down his forehead had quietly appeared on a rooftop not far behind him.
His gaze was piercing, a disdainful smirk played on his lips, and a faint golden light flickered in his eyes as he coldly observed Shi Nian's every move below.
Meanwhile, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier continued walking side by side toward Tianxing Academy, but their hearts sank deeper and deeper.
They keenly noticed that the road seemed exceptionally long today. They walked for a long time, but the scenery around them seemed to be repeating itself, and the outline of the college in the distance remained out of reach.
What's even stranger is that every few minutes, a vendor pushing a shelf will walk past them with his head down, and the items sold on the shelf are exactly the same.
Just as another vendor like this was about to pass them, Tang Chuan's eyes suddenly darkened, he abruptly stopped, and coldly shouted at the vendor:
"Stop pretending! Show yourself!"
Upon hearing this, the vendor stiffened slightly, then looked up, his honest expression instantly turning distorted and eerie, before bursting into loud laughter:
"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to spot the clues so quickly!"
The next second, the vendor's figure rippled outwards like water, finally transforming into Shi Nian's sinister appearance. He looked at Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier with a mocking expression and said sharply:
"But what can you do even if you find out?"
"At this moment, you are completely trapped in my lingering dream world! Here, I am the master! Obediently await your death!"
As he spoke, Shi Nian slowly opened his arms, as if embracing the whole world, his tone filled with the smugness of being in control of everything.
"Heh, to us, you're nothing more than a soul bone gift package delivered to our door." Looking at the smug Shi Nian in front of him, Tang Chuan showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he sneered.
"With your level 70+ soul power and that Illusionary Mirror Wisdom Skull inside you, how much trouble do you think you can cause?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian's smug expression froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and horror. He exclaimed in disbelief:
"How...how did you know I have a soul bone?! Or even a skull?!"
This skull of wisdom from the illusion was his greatest secret and reliance, which he had never mentioned to outsiders!
Filled with shock and rage, Shi Nian stopped talking nonsense, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and said sharply, "Since you like to court death, then I'll grant your wish!"
As the words fell.
He quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding space distorted violently. Countless hideous illusions, accompanied by mental attacks, swept towards Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier like a tidal wave!
…………
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Battle Arena.
On the Soul Battle Stage, Tang San's Dark Blue Silver Grass was suppressed and forced to retreat under the ferocious fire attribute attacks of the Blazing Fire Academy team members.
At this moment, the master's face was ashen, like still water. He clenched his fists and muttered a curse under his breath: "Damn it!"
"The mistress's Blue Silver Grass has been completely countered."
"It seems that if Shrek Academy wants to win the championship in this competition, they will probably have to let Xiao San start training with the Clear Sky Hammer ahead of time."
The fire attribute of Blazing Academy is simply the natural nemesis of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which greatly reduces the core control tactics of the Shrek Academy team.
In his anxiety, the master's gaze inadvertently swept to the small charcoal stove set up for brewing tea on the side of the stands beside him, where a pot of water was boiling.
At this moment, there was very little water left in the kettle.
The bottom of the kettle sizzled under the heat of the flames, indicating that the water inside was about to boil away.
The moment this ordinary scene came into view, the master's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
Water! It is the source of life! It nourishes all things!
With his gaze fixed on the kettle that was about to be dried up by the flames, a strange thought flashed through the master's mind like lightning, and he muttered to himself.
"The reason why the fire-attribute soul skills of Blazing Academy can restrain Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass is because Blue Silver Grass is essentially wood, and fire overcomes wood, so it is countered by fire..."
"The Blue Silver Grass of Tangchuan possesses an extremely powerful life force, which can even influence the surrounding plants... How similar is this manifestation of life force to the nature of water nourishing all things?!"
Thinking about this...
The master's breathing suddenly became rapid, and a sickly flush appeared on his face.
"Since fire can overcome wood, it can also overcome water. Does that mean that fire attributes could also, conversely, overcome Tang Chuan's vibrant Blue Silver Grass?!"
"If this inference holds true..."
"Then haven't I found a way to counter Tang Chuan Blue Silver Grass?"
"If Xiao San starts cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer now, and if he adds a fire-attribute soul ring to it, wouldn't that mean...?"
