"What a joke?"
"Who's joking with you?" The girl huffed, "Not only did you barge into the girls' dormitory, but you even rummaged through a girl's room. Despicable, shameless, and utterly disgraceless."
Beibei: "..."
After hearing the girl's words, Beibei realized the gravity of the issue. It seemed his conduct indeed bordered on the perverse.
"Where's the pervert? We're here!"
"Catch the pervert!"
"I wondered why I lost two sets of underwear a few days ago."
"..."
With shouts ringing out, figures rushed out of the dormitory.
Beibei's heart sank, cursing his bad luck.
He hadn't expected so many troubles in the girls' dormitory.
If caught, he'd be labeled not just a pervert, but also accused of stealing underwear.
No, this wouldn't do.
He couldn't stand here claiming his innocence.
Otherwise, it would be like trying to argue that the yellow mud in his pants wasn't feces.
But there was no way out behind him...
After a moment's thought, he steeled his resolve, activated his Soul Power, and charged straight into the wall.
Boom.
The wall crumbled into a person-shaped hole, and Beibei fled the scene.
"Are you okay?"
"Did he do anything to you?"
"That damned pervert is so brazen, acting under broad daylight, as if he does not hold us in regard."
Many young girls crowded around.
The girl who had confronted Beibei earlier was almost in tears, "If it weren't for my sisters coming in time, I really don't know what would have happened. It was truly terrifying."
After saying this, she patted her modest chest, still visibly shaken.
"No, we cannot let this matter rest. The offender must be severely punished. I suggest you draw a picture of that person and expose him to the public."
...
Evil Spirit Forest.
Here, powerful soul beasts were everywhere, and even Titled Douluos would pale at the mention of the Evil Spirit Forest.
Venturing deep inside often meant a one-way trip.
However.
Few knew that the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, the most nefarious sect on the Douluo Continent, was located within this perilous Evil Spirit Forest.
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall Headquarters.
"Why did you bring someone back with you?"
The Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult looked down condescendingly at the two individuals seated below.
Zhong Liwu had short silver hair, which was very fine and looked as hard as steel needles. His features were sharp and handsome; one could not sense the aura of an evil Soul Master from his appearance.
He looked young, resembling a middle-aged man if not for his silver hair. But in reality, his age had already reached a hundred and seventy-eighty years old.
"Husband, this time I went out, I found a real treasure."
The person standing in the grand hall of the Spirit Hall Headquarters was none other than Feng Ling.
Beside her was Ma Xiaotao, lying on the ground.
"A treasure?"
After hearing Feng Ling's words, Zhong Liwu's gaze lingered on Ma Xiaotao's body, curious. Feng Ling suggested this girl had something extraordinary; what could it be?
However.
When he took a closer look, he indeed noticed something different, and his expression changed drastically.
"How could such pure evil aura exist on this girl's body? Where did you find such a treasure?"
He was first shocked, then stared at Ma Xiaotao as if she were a rare treasure.
```
Feng Ling giggled, "Heeheehee, I knew Your Lordship would like her. But this girl's background is not simple; she's a student of Shrek Academy, and I've heard that she is the personal disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department in this session."
"Oh? Yan Shaozhe?"
The gleam in Zhong Liwu's eyes lingered on the Titled Douluo Feng Ling for a few moments longer.
Without dwelling on this topic, he sneered coldly and said, "Shrek Academy prides itself on justice, yet the dean has taken an inherently evil soul Master under his wing. What great irony."
Feng Ling laughed at this remark, "Hehe, isn't it? This world is just like that. The rules are set by those with the biggest fists; who would dare utter a word of refusal."
"Just like that often-quoted saying from Shrek, 'Only mediocrities are afraid of stirring up trouble.' A line that only Shrek could get away with saying. Any other academy that tries would promptly be labeled as evil."
"Enough about Shrek Academy, they've always held double standards. Let's not talk about them anymore. The initiated understand. Let's go back to discussing how to cultivate this girl, shall we? I feel her talent is exceptionally strong, and she may very well take my place in the future."
Zhong Liwu grew more and more excited as he spoke.
"As you arrange, my lord," Feng Ling giggled.
Zhong Liwu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I can sense that her aura is similar to yours, so let her be under your guidance for now. Plus, I've recently found a promising seedling. In some time, I'll arrange for someone to bring her back to the headquarters."
Feng Ling nodded, "Right, her Martial Soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, which is indeed similar to mine, and I can certainly provide her some guidance to help her reach her full potential as soon as possible."
"However, I am rather curious about the promising seedling my lord mentioned. What kind of talent does she have?"
"She is..."
Zhong Liwu drew out his voice, "just a girl with a Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul..."
"Bluesilver Grass?" Feng Ling paused.
For as many years as Soul Land had existed, it had been a legend that the master of Tang Sect, Tang San, was the holder of a Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul, yet he eventually rose to the pinnacle of Soul Land, even establishing the once-glorious Tang Sect.
But with Bluesilver Grass came both triumph and failure; after Tang San, no exemplary Bluesilver Grass Soul Master had emerged.
And because of the lack of an outstanding leader, the Tang Sect had fallen into decline.
"I know you must be skeptical..." Zhong Liwu smiled, "Hehe, I found this Bluesilver Grass to be somewhat special. It possesses a devouring evil attribute. I believe she will one day shine brilliantly, stunning everyone."
"A devouring attribute?" Feng Ling's eyes immediately flashed with an unusual light.
Devouring...
This attribute was a skill countless evil Soul Masters dreamt of attaining. He hadn't expected it to appear in a Bluesilver Grass.
"If she can keep evolving through devouring, she might not be weaker than the Evil Fire Phoenix you brought back."
It wasn't difficult to see that Zhong Liwu was full of confidence in the Dark Bluesilver Grass.
Feng Ling huffed discontentedly, "Grass is just grass. Even if it were ten times, a hundred times stronger, it's still grass. I refuse to believe it could naturally compare to a top-level Martial Soul like the Phoenix."
"Hehe, we shall see," Zhong Liwu chuckled and stood up from his throne, making his way towards the exit of the great hall.
...
The sun and moon rotated in the sky.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the finals arrived.
As predicted, the final showdown was between Star Luo Royal Team and Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy.
This day captured everyone's attention.
No matter what, today's competition would be a historical change.
After all, in previous contests, Shrek Academy had always been the first.
So, the ticket sales for today were exceptionally high; they had almost completely sold out.
Xu Jiawei was moved...
Some blood had been regained.
It's worth mentioning that, as it was the last match of the finals, even the standard of the referees had risen sharply. They were replaced by the guest elder Sky Annihilation Douluo from the Xingluo Empire.
"Let both teams take the stage!"
As Sky Annihilation Douluo's voice echoed across the arena, the two teams nearly simultaneously stepped onto the stage.
On the side of Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, it was still the lineup of Ma Rulong, Mika, Qin Xiao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and others.
The Star Luo Royal Team, on the other hand, was led by Princess Jiu Jiu.
Worth mentioning, today the princess was dressed in a sharp outfit, looking both heroic and beautiful.
However, even though Jiu Jiu concealed it well, Qin Xiao still saw a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Just then, Sky Annihilation Douluo issued another command, "Both sides, prepare!"
At that sound,
both teams spread out and formed up their arrays.
