In the sky, the Golden Holy Dragon looked at the suddenly emerged flower bud, its golden pupils momentarily dumbfounded.
"Not good! San Pao must have been hit by an illusion-type soul skill," Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in alarm.
Liu Erlong furrowed his brows as he watched the Nine-Hearted Begonia with its exceptionally fast moving speed, "The speed of this guy's vine stretching is so fast!"
Flander felt his heart pounding, "To be able to trap San Pao in an illusion at this time, just how strong is this kid?"
Countless Nine-Hearted Begonia plants, seizing the opportunity, quickly approached the Golden Holy Dragon, entwining around it in an instant and enveloping its entire body…
As it was pierced by the petals, the Golden Holy Dragon, which had been transfixed, immediately woke up from the illusion…
Feeling bound by these plants, the Golden Holy Dragon roared once more…
It started to struggle violently, and perhaps because of its massive size, it caused the Nine-Hearted Begonia to be continuously torn apart…
Xu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he silently commanded, "Third soul skill, Crazy Growth!"
As he spoke, the light from his third soul ring shone once again...
The Nine-Hearted Begonia, which was nearly at its breaking point under the Golden Holy Dragon, started to grow at a visible rate, swiftly enveloping the entire dragon with an even denser layer…
As the weakest Soul Master among the three, Yu Xiaogang felt the most acute sensation of Soul Power draining away. He said anxiously, "Our Soul Power is draining away rapidly!"
Liu Erlong responded with utmost urgency, "It's only been a few seconds, and half our Soul Power has been drained by this strange plant!"
Flander felt as though a funnel had been installed within his body, sucking away all his Soul Power in an instant…
Back at the Abyssal Passage, the battlefield had already reached a white-hot stage…
Many officers began to encourage loudly, "Hold on everyone, other powers have already sent reinforcements! They will arrive as quickly as possible!"
"That's right, just hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to defeat the abyssal creatures!"
"Rally your spirits! Humanity's Soul Masters sealed the abyssal creatures once before, and we can do it again. Believe that we will certainly win!"
Although they knew that even with the reinforcements from all the forces combined, they would not match the abyssal creatures!
But... at least it could inspire the morale of the Blood God Army members!
In war, the greatest fear is being daunted before the battle has even started!
In the forefront, Tang Wulin's gaze was fixed on those highly defensive abyssal creatures as he shouted, "Second soul skill, Bluesilver Impaling Array!"
As his second soul ring lit up, hundreds of sturdy Blue Silver Grasses rose from the ground, directly flying them into the mid-air and inducing a brief paralysis...
But it wasn't over yet, his third soul ring also lit up...
Third soul skill, Blue Silver Golden Light Array!
A giant golden Array bloomed beneath the abyssal creatures. Any creature caught within was stripped of some attributes and elements!
Meanwhile, Gu Yue had reached the door to the resting room. With a "Crack," she pushed the door open and stepped inside...
Leng Yaozhu, the Pagoda Master, was leisurely seated on the sofa, sipping a cup of tea...
Upon seeing Gu Yue, her cheeks showed a hint of surprise, "Gu Yue, welcome back. You're earlier than I expected!"
She had thought Gu Yue would first return to Shrek Academy.
Gu Yue walked over and sat opposite to Leng Yaozhu, replying, "There's nothing important to do if I return to Shrek Academy, so I decided to come back first!"
Leng Yaozhu did not speak, but it was clear that she was very satisfied with the former's attitude!
This indicated that in Gu Yue's heart, the Spirit Pagoda held more importance than Shrek Academy.
Gu Yue scanned the surroundings and asked, "Pagoda Master, have you really removed the position of Vice Tower Master?"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her thin lips, "Hmm, it was Qiangu Qingfeng who brought it up himself, and with his personality, even if I tried to retain him multiple times, he would not change his mind!"
"Because of this, the council members of the Spirit Pagoda probably think I feared Qiangu Qingfeng's power might surpass my own, so I removed him from the Vice Tower Master position!"
Did she seem like someone who cared about the power within the Spirit Pagoda?
After gazing for a few seconds, Gu Yue said confidently, "Pagoda Master, I believe in you, you are not that kind of person!"
The former would not wait to take over as the Spirit Pagoda's master immediately!
Leng Yaozhu suddenly smiled, "Your words are enough for me, but you also need to grow up quickly. The position of the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda is indeed too boring!"
Stuck in the tower every day, without even the time to move freely!
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "I will do it as soon as possible!!"
Leng Yaozhu added, "Also, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can bring them up, as long as it's within my power to help!"
A flicker of gratitude passed through Gu Yue's eyes, "Thank you, Pagoda Master!"
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, "No need to thank me, after all, I've already started to think of you as my own daughter... eh, it seems, such heartfelt words shouldn't be spoken out loud, should they?"
When she said the last part, she clearly felt that Gu Yue's expression was somewhat off...
But soon, the latter returned to normal and spoke seriously, "Pagoda Master, let's not talk about this anymore. What is the relationship between our Spirit Pagoda and that newly established legion now?"
She remembered that a long time ago, she had facilitated contact between the Soul Beast Legion and the Spirit Pagoda!
Leng Yaozhu propped up her fair chin, pondering, "Hmm... let me think, ever since that legion bought a large number of Spirit Souls, the relationship has been quite good. There hasn't been any initiative to get closer, so we can rule out the possibility of them approaching with an ulterior motive!"
Soon, all the auction-goers arrived at the First Auction Room and sat in different seats marked with numbers...
Having just sat down, Xie Xie whispered, "Wulin, what were you just looking at?"
Tang Wulin glanced at him, thinking aloud, "I just felt a familiar aura in the auction hall, but it disappeared in a flash!"
Xie Xie expressed surprise, "It must be your imagination, right? We've just come back from the legion, how could you recognize these unfamiliar auction-goers!"
The former did not deny it, "Maybe, but aren't you sitting with Ye Hui?"
Xie Xie's lips curled up, "No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities to be alone with Ye Hui in the future."
Ye Xinglan coughed, reminding them, "Wulin, Xie Xie, both of you settle down, everyone is watching us!!"
At that moment, the eyes of all the auction-goers in the room were on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, making for an incredibly awkward situation!
As they closed their mouths, the woman on the stage in front of them, dressed in a cheongsam with a graceful figure, finally spoke in a tender voice, "Welcome, guests. I'm Jiu Jiu, the Auctioneer in charge of this auction!"
"As expected of the First Auction Room, even the Auctioneer is such a delight to the eyes!"
"What a pity that Jiu Jiu isn't up for auction; no matter the price, I'd be willing to pay!"
"You'd better be careful, anyone who can serve as an Auctioneer here has no simple background!"
