At this moment, the dean seemed to grasp something and shouted loudly, "All teachers and students of the academies, fight with me resolutely—reinforcements from the major forces have arrived! We must make the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters pay a heavy price!!"
These words reignited the hope of survival in those students and teachers, turning the tide from their earlier downtrend, and they began to counterattack...
Leading the War God Temple, the War God himself, his cheeks exuding an intense murderous aura, loudly proclaimed, "War God Temple Legion, heed my command—surround and exterminate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, show no mercy!"
The entire legion responded with uplifting voices, "Yes!!"
Immediately after, they joined the battle at full speed, launching an attack on the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters...
Seeing the War God Temple's forces taking action, the Spirit Pagoda certainly wouldn't sit idly by. Gu Yue, leading the charge, commanded coldly, "Disciples of the Spirit Pagoda, heed my command—assist the War God Temple Legion and eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"
Her led disciples of the Spirit Pagoda, upon receiving the orders, did not say much further, using soul tools to strike the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters...
With the aid of these two major forces, the entire battle situation was instantly reversed...
Meanwhile, Wu Changkong and others who had arrived later also noticed her presence and immediately gathered around...
Xu Xiaoyan was the first to speak, "Gu Yue, I didn't expect that the support troops from the Spirit Pagoda would be commanded by you!"
Yue Zhengyu then teased, "Let me think, it has been so long since the martial arts competition, and you haven't returned to the academy once. You couldn't have forgotten about us, could you?"
Xu Lizhi said genuinely, "Mmhmm, we've been worried about you all this time!"
Gu Yue didn't rush to answer but glanced around, noticing the absence of a familiar figure...
Yuanen Yehui saw through her thoughts and explained, "Gu Yue, Wulin is currently at the Blacksmith Association and hasn't joined this operation!"
Xie Xie smacked his lips and said, "As a couple, you ignore everything we say, but as soon as Wulin is mentioned, you perk up!"
Gu Yue opened her mouth, wanting to explain something...
But Wu Changkong coldly interrupted, "Now is not the time for reminiscing. After we've caught all these Evil Soul Masters, there will be plenty of time for you to talk!"
Gu Yue gave him a grateful look, then said calmly, "Teacher Wu is right, the pressing matter is to deal with these Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult. We can talk about other matters later!"
When everyone heard this, they also expressed their agreement...
Yue Zhengyu was the first to release his Martial Soul, raising an eyebrow and said, "Xie Xie, let's see who can slaughter more Evil Soul Masters, how about that?"
The corners of Xie Xie's mouth lifted as he also released his Martial Soul, "Bring it on, I'm not afraid of you."
With those words, their Soul Power burst forth, and together they charged toward the group of Evil Soul Masters...
In the blink of an eye, they had slain several Evil Soul Masters...
Watching this scene, Gu Yue first sighed, then reminded, "Everyone be careful, the one leading the Holy Spirit Cult's attack this time is the Ghost Emperor, who is also the Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
During her time with the Blood God Army, she had witnessed the terrifying strength of the opponent with her own eyes!
After hearing these words, the rest become more cautious...
After all, to be the Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult, one's strength would hardly be weaker than the Dark Bell they had encountered before!
Wu Changkong then squinted his eyes and thought to himself, "So the Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult has come in person. It seems they are indeed planning to make a comeback!"
After shaking his head to cast aside his thoughts, he solemnly announced, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
...
As for the Ghost Emperor on the other side, he naturally noticed the support troops from the other forces the instant they appeared...
His complexion grew so dark it was as if water was about to drip from it...
An Evil Soul Master beside him immediately bowed his head and asked, "Sect Hierarch, our plan has failed. The support from the War God Temple and the other two forces has arrived. Should we retreat?"
This question seemed to hit a nerve with the Ghost Emperor who, without any mercy, stretched out his hand and grabbed the inquirer's throat, his voice cold as he said, "Retreat?"
The latter felt as though he had been plunged into an ice cellar, and immediately afterward, his blood seemed to be drawn out by some force, spilling outward non-stop...
In just a few seconds, the Evil Soul Master was left with nothing more than a shriveled husk, devoid of any signs of life!
The Ghost Emperor emotionlessly tossed the corpse to the ground, his voice icy, "If you do not wish to end up like him, then get moving!"
The rest of the evil Soul Masters reigned in any thoughts of retreat and braced themselves to meet the challenge…
However, once they all charged out, the Ghost Emperor realized something was amiss…
He had been surrounded imperceptibly!!
At that moment, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of a cold smile, "Interesting, am I the real target here?"
Indeed, surrounding him were Wu Changkong and the Shrek Seven Monsters!
If the latter were allowed to join the battlefield, they could potentially inflict immeasurable damage to the teams of the major forces!
For this reason, it was imperative to block or slay him!
Xie Xie stared at the Ghost Emperor, scolding coldly, "Are you the master of the Holy Spirit Cult? The chief culprit behind Wulin losing his mother!"
"Today, we will slay you right here, surrender now!"
Upon hearing this, a murderous intent also arose in Gu Yue's eyes…
Because Tang Wulin's mother had also once been her "mother"!
But to the Ghost Emperor, those words sounded like a joke, and he let out mocking words from beneath his mask…
"I've killed so many, I can't even remember who your Wulin is in your talk,"
"However, seven Title Douluo and one Hyper Douluo, do you think you are my match?"
To him, Title Douluo were merely ants that he could crush effortlessly!
"What if you add us to the mix?"
The speakers, of course, were several War Gods from the War God Hall; they clearly understood the danger posed by the Ghost Emperor!
Therefore, they unanimously decided to eliminate him first!
The Ghost Emperor's expression changed slightly, "Four Hyper Douluo, huh? That could indeed be problematic…"
However, if he wanted to escape, no one could stop him!!
…
On the other side!
Tang Wulin, who had wanted to share the great news of his advancement to Divine Craftsman with his comrades, found no one there after arriving at the academy!
This made him quite frustrated, "Why is everyone not here? Have they gone out?"
Hence, he sought out Shen Yi, the outer court dean!
After explaining the situation, Shen Yi explained, "Oh, you mean your comrades. They went with your senior brother to eradicate the evil Soul Masters!"
Tang Wulin expressed surprise, "Senior brother? Do you mean Teacher Wu?"
Shen Yi nodded, "Yeah, after all, there are other powers' elites involved!"
After a pause, she looked at him suspiciously, "What's the matter, you seem to have something important to tell them by the look on your face!"
Tang Wulin, a bit embarassed, scratched his head, "Um, I just wanted to tell everyone that I succeeded in Heavenly Forging, and now I'm a Divine Craftsman!"
"That's nice… what?? Wulin, you not only completed Heavenly Forging but also became a Divine Craftsman?"
Shen Yi first nodded but then immediately reacted…
At that moment, the way she looked at Tang Wulin changed dramatically, filled with fervor…
