Chapter 79 Master: The Evil Soul Master was released by the Spirit Hall!
One hour later.
Inside the dormitory at Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun lay on his bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages, with almost no exposed skin visible, resembling a living mummy.
Standing by the bed, Flander frowned, glancing at Ma Hongjun with concern. He then turned to the master, whose expression was slightly somber, and asked in a low voice:
"Xiaogang, after you checked Hongjun's body, is he alright?"
Upon hearing this, the master shook his head and said in a rather low voice:
"The flesh in Ma Hongjun's lower abdomen is completely necrotic; even a healing-type Soul Master at the Title Douluo level couldn't restore it. To prevent future infection, it's necessary to completely remove it."
"What?!" Flander exclaimed in shock, his face changing drastically, his voice rising several decibels involuntarily: "Isn't there any other way?"
The master shook his head again, and said solemnly, "No. This is already the most conservative and safest way to handle it."
Just then, Ma Hongjun, who was on the bed, seemed to have heard their conversation.
"Waaah—"
He, who had been in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes wide and shook his head desperately, his eyes filled with fear and pleading. He struggled to raise his hand but found that he could not move at all. He could only let out weak and rapid sobs, clearly protesting fiercely.
After a long silence, Flander looked at Ma Hongjun, who was lying on the bed like a rag doll, unable to move.
Finally, he slowly took out a gleaming dagger from the soul tool at his waist.
Immediately afterwards, Flander walked step by step toward the bed with the dagger in his hand. With each step he got closer, Ma Hongjun's eyes grew more terrified, and his face was filled with despair.
Looking at Ma Hongjun's current miserable state, Flander frowned, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to be ruthless. He sighed, handed the dagger to the master standing beside him, and whispered:
"Xiao Gang, Hong Jun is, after all, my personally trained disciple. It's really hard for me to do it myself. Why don't you do it?"
Upon hearing this, the master took the dagger, his brows furrowed. He remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded and looked at Ma Hongjun: "I will try to be as quick as possible, please bear with me."
After speaking, the master slowly walked to the bedside, bent down, and gripped the dagger tightly in his right hand.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun's eyes were filled with fear. He shook his head desperately, tears streaming down the edge of the bandages. His body trembled, but he didn't even have the strength to struggle. He could only let out low moans, full of resistance, but it was all in vain!
Taking a deep breath, the master flicked his wrist, and the dagger flashed with a cold light.
"ah--!!!"
A piercing scream immediately echoed throughout the entire dormitory.
At this moment, the master had no idea that it was because of this incident that Ma Hongjun would hold a grudge, leading to him suffering the same fate as the latter in the future.
.........
A few minutes later, the atmosphere in Shrek Academy's principal's office became unusually heavy.
Grandmaster and Flander sat side by side in the main seat, both of them looking rather grim. Below them stood Zhao Wuji, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and others.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji was reporting in a deep voice the details of his previous battle with the blonde girl.
As if they had heard something strange, the master and Flander frowned almost simultaneously, then stood up abruptly and looked at each other.
"What did you just say? That blonde woman can devour her opponent's life force during battle?" the master asked in a low voice, his tone somewhat deep.
Zhao Wuji was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, when her golden spear pierced me, I could clearly feel my life force rapidly draining away."
"Could it be a Fallen One?" Flander's eyes narrowed, a hint of horror flashing in them.
"Yes, the spear in the blonde girl's hand can indeed devour life force. I'm certain of that, there's no mistake," Zhao Wuji affirmed again.
Upon hearing this, the master's expression immediately darkened, and he said:
"If that's the case, then it makes sense. No wonder Mu Bai and Xiao San were no match for these two; it turns out they are fallen ones."
Tang San frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is a Fallen One?"
"Strictly speaking, there's no inherent good or evil in martial spirits. However, some people's martial spirits exhibit extreme characteristics after awakening, such as the ability to devour the life force, body, soul power, or even the soul of others... In their pursuit of strength, these individuals embark on a near-mad path of cultivation, ultimately becoming cold-blooded and cruel. They cultivate at an extremely fast pace, far surpassing other soul masters of the same level in strength, but the methods they employ defy common sense. Such soul masters are called Fallen Ones, or Evil Soul Masters," the master explained in a deep voice.
At this point, his expression grew even more solemn, and as he swept his gaze across the crowd, he slowly said:
"However, I remember that the evil spirit masters on the continent were wiped out by the Spirit Hall many years ago, or driven into the Land of Corruption. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be appearing in the outside world anymore. But now two have suddenly appeared. There's probably more to it than meets the eye."
Upon hearing this, Flander's expression darkened. He turned to look at Grandmaster with a serious expression and whispered, "Xiao Gang, do you mean... these two evil spirit masters might have been deliberately released by the Spirit Hall?"
"It's not impossible." The master didn't answer immediately, but frowned slightly, as if he was considering his words, and then slowly nodded after a moment.
"The Spirit Hall of today is no longer merely an institution maintaining order among spirit masters. They are ambitious, with plans to unify the entire continent. What wouldn't they do to achieve their goals?"
"Perhaps they deliberately released a group of evil soul masters from the Land of Depravity, letting these people harm the people and disrupt order, and then they would come forward to eliminate them, thereby winning people's hearts and undermining the prestige of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires... This is a typical tactic of the Spirit Hall, where the thief cries 'stop thief!'"
As the master finished speaking, Tang San's expression suddenly changed. He stepped forward, his tone filled with anger, and said:
"Teacher, the Spirit Hall is too evil! For their own ambitions, they actually allow evil spirit masters to wreak havoc on innocent people!"
The master first nodded, then raised his hand and gently patted Tang San's shoulder, his tone slightly heavy but full of expectation:
"Little San, you must seize the time to cultivate from now on. If one day in the future the Spirit Hall really intends to threaten the entire continent, then someone must stand up to stop them. I hope that person is you."
"Teacher, I will!" Upon hearing this, a determined light flashed in Tang San's eyes. He nodded emphatically and said resolutely.
After a moment's thought, he asked:
"By the way, teacher, what should we do with these two evil spirit masters next?"
"They injured so many people from our Shrek Academy; we absolutely cannot let them continue to harm the Soul Master world."
Upon hearing this, Flander's eyes flickered slightly, and the image of Ma Hongjun lying on the hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages and on the verge of death, immediately flashed into his mind.
Immediately, his heart tightened, and his face darkened instantly.
"You're right, mistress."
"Hongjun is the best example. If we don't act now, more Soul Masters will suffer in the future. As members of the Soul Master world, we cannot sit idly by!" Flander said in a deep voice, his tone filled with anger and gritted teeth.
The master and Flander exchanged a glance, their eyes sharpening with decisiveness. Then, the master spoke, "Now that we've confirmed they are evil soul masters, we certainly can't let them get away with it. The reason evil soul masters are evil is because their path of cultivation is destined to be built upon the flesh and souls of countless people."
"If it is not eradicated in time, it will surely become a major problem in the future."
Flander nodded in agreement, a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "The Spirit Hall is probably already in cahoots with the evil spirit masters. Expecting them to intervene is impossible. If we report this, we might only alert them."
Nodding slightly, the master continued, "Therefore, we must take action ourselves!"
"Alright, tomorrow morning, all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy will mobilize and search for these two in Soto City. Once they are found, we will immediately send out a signal to launch a concentrated attack. No matter how strong they are, they can't possibly withstand so many of us working together!"
