Chapter 28 Xuanzi is shocked? What the hell kind of monster is this?
Inside the dense forest, the chill had not yet dissipated, and the ice crystals reflected a cold light in the dappled sunlight.
Long Aotian, Vina, and other disciples of the Body Sect surrounded Liu Yuan.
Although they had already witnessed Liu Yuan's almost shameless "indestructible body" during their previous sparring sessions within their sects, and had even mentally considered it Liu Yuan's most trump card defensive technique...
But witnessing Liu Yuan's ability to "regenerate limbs" even after being cut in half at the waist still stirred up a storm of emotions within him.
"Every time I see it, I feel like this ability is simply challenging the common sense of the Soul Master world." Wang Yanfeng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he subconsciously touched his arm, the shivering from the visual impact lingering for a long time.
Ling Luochen, standing to the side, was far more shocked than anyone else present.
As a top student at Shrek Academy, she had seen countless strange and wonderful martial souls and soul skills, but the scene before her was completely beyond her comprehension.
A level 20+ Soul Master was cut in half at the waist by a five-ring Evil Soul Master. Not only did he not die on the spot, but in just a few dozen seconds, his broken bones, meridians, and flesh seemed to have a self-awareness and frantically grew and reorganized.
Her worldview underwent a devastating reshaping at that moment.
Ling Luochen stood there stunned for a long time, his cold eyes filled with disbelief.
She only awoke as if from a dream when Liu Yuan's pale face gradually regained its rosy hue and smooth skin was once again covering the broken waist and abdomen.
"This...is this really just a soul skill?" Ling Luochen let out a helpless groan deep in his heart, and could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a comment: "What a...extremely monstrous guy!"
"Cough cough."
Liu Yuan supported himself on the ground and stood up, feeling his newborn flesh and blood and soul power flowing again.
Although his indestructible body healed his injuries, the intense pain and significant loss of soul power he experienced just moments before still left him somewhat weak.
"How are you?" Vina rushed forward to support him, her eyes red and her voice trembling. "If you hadn't pushed me away just now, I'm afraid I would have..."
"We're a team, why are you saying these things?" Liu Yuan smiled nonchalantly, indicating that he was fine.
Long Aotian stepped forward, carefully sensed Liu Yuan's aura, and after confirming that his foundation was intact, he patted him on the shoulder with a sigh of relief:
"It's good that you're alright. You're tougher than I expected. But from now on, leave these life-threatening tasks to your senior brother."
Liu Yuan said helplessly, "The situation was critical just now... I couldn't just sit idly by."
...
The atmosphere eased slightly, and everyone's attention turned to the mysterious girl with the ice staff.
Ling Luochen calmed his turbulent emotions, put away his ice staff, and gave a slight bow to Liu Yuan and the others, his tone returning to its usual cool and polite manner:
"If this friend hadn't shot through that evil spirit master's wing at the crucial moment and brought him down, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to completely capture him in this dense forest. Thank you all for your help."
Long Aotian stepped forward and, as the team leader, returned the greeting, saying, "It was nothing."
"My name is Long Aotian. We are here on our master's orders to eliminate evil spirit masters."
"Judging from your extraordinary cultivation and extremely rare martial soul, I wonder which organization nurtured this genius? And why are you chasing this five-ring evil soul master alone?"
When faced with Long Aotian's question, Ling Luochen's eyes flickered slightly.
As members of the Shrek Academy's inspection team, we must conceal our identities during missions; this is a strict order from the academy.
In particular, although the strength of these people in front of her was not high, the powerful and peculiar soul power fluctuations emanating from them made her vaguely sense that their origins were also extraordinary.
"We just met by chance and I stood up for what was right." Ling Luochen didn't answer directly. She glanced at the darkening sky and said calmly.
"Now that the mission is complete and the wounded are out of danger, I should take my leave. Until we meet again, everyone."
Having said that, she gave Long Aotian no further chance to ask questions. With a light touch of her toes, she transformed into a streak of azure light and instantly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
"This woman is really aloof," Wang Yanfeng muttered.
"Never mind, Soul Masters with Ice Attribute Martial Souls tend to be rather cold-hearted." Long Aotian shook his head, his expression turning serious.
"The commotion just now was too loud and will probably cause more trouble."
"Since Liu Yuan is alright, let's set off back to the sect immediately."
"We can't stay in this city of Yarrow any longer."
Everyone agreed with this.
After nodding in agreement, they quickly headed towards the Body Sect.
...
Several days later, Shrek Academy, deep within Seagod Island.
Inside a secluded pavilion, Xuanzi, the highest-ranking official of the Shrek Academy's inspection team, was leisurely munching on a chicken leg while shaking his wine gourd.
"Elder Xuan, Luo Chen is back."
Ling Luochen walked through the mist and stood respectfully behind Xuanzi.
"Oh? You caught that little bat with five rings?" Xuanzi asked casually. In his opinion, this level of mission was just a matter of time for Ling Luochen.
"I killed him. But during the pursuit, something unexpected happened." Ling Luochen's voice was heavy, even carrying a lingering sense of shock.
Xuanzi stopped biting into the chicken leg, turned around, and looked at Ling Luochen in surprise: "An accident? Did it injure you? Or did the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire interfere?"
"No, it wasn't that. I encountered a group of teenagers, who looked to be between twelve and fifteen or sixteen years old, but they were all very strong." Ling Luochen hesitated for a moment before recounting the scene that she found most unforgettable.
"Especially one of the boys, whose cultivation level is only around level 27 Great Soul Master."
"But I saw with my own eyes that he precisely killed several evil soul masters of the same level in battle using only two scarlet beams shot from his eyes. Even more terrifying was that when facing the surprise attack of that fifth-ring evil soul master, he was cut in half at the waist while trying to save someone..."
Xuanzi's originally cloudy gaze suddenly turned sharp: "Level 27 blocking a five-ring Soul King? Cut in half? He's definitely dead."
"That's what I thought too." Ling Luochen took a deep breath.
"But at the moment of the break, he not only counterattacked by using his first soul skill to knock off the opponent's wings, but also, in less than a minute afterward, his body actually... reconnected bit by bit right in front of me, healing itself completely."
"That kind of vitality is simply unheard of."
"What did you say?!"
With a "bang," Xuanzi's wine gourd fell to the ground, spilling its precious wine everywhere.
But at this moment, he disregarded everything and suddenly stood up. The terrifying pressure, as powerful as a mountain, caused ripples to spread across the surrounding Sea God Lake.
"A level 27 being able to injure a five-ring evil soul master? And even regenerate limbs? What kind of monster is this?"
