When Lin Yuhan left, Xie Xie finally spoke up, asking, "Wulin, what on earth happened last night, and why were you lying on the ground?"
The others were intently staring at Tang Wulin, waiting for his response! Tang Wulin shook his head, "I don't know either, after I started cultivating yesterday, my subconscious was suddenly pulled into the deep sea!"
"Then, it felt as though my body suffered a heavy blow, and I fell into unconsciousness!"
After hearing his words, everyone's expressions grew heavy...
Gu Yue furrowed her brows, "Someone capable of pulling the subconscious into the deep sea? Who could possibly have that much ability?"
She knew that Tang Wulin's spiritual power was very strong, otherwise, he wouldn't have become a level 6 blacksmith so quickly!
Ye Xinglan pondered, "I've never seen such a situation, but I don't rule out that a soul skill could achieve it!"
Xu Lizhi expressed his doubts, "Wulin, did you see the person who attacked you clearly?"
Tang Wulin sighed, "No, at that time my consciousness was trapped in the deep sea, and it wasn't until I went unconscious that I was barely able to see it was a man!"
Xie Xie took a deep breath, "So, we don't have any clues at all... But what was the purpose of the attacker going through all this trouble?"
Being able to pull Tang Wulin's consciousness into the deep sea proved that the attacker was powerful, and it wouldn't have been difficult to kill him without such complications!
Ultimately, it was Gu Yue who broke the ongoing speculation with a cold voice, "Speculating here is useless, let's go tell Teacher Xu, perhaps he knows something."
...
Xu Sheng revealed a somewhat surprised expression, "Oh? You mean, Tang Wulin was attacked last night?"
In fact, from the moment Mu Ye entered Tang Wulin's room, everything was under his observation!
He had originally wanted to intervene, but when he realized that the other might have a different purpose, he chose to watch from the sidelines!
Gu Yue nodded, speaking earnestly, "Yes, Teacher Xu, please help us check if there's anything unusual with Wulin's physical condition!"
"The sudden attack without a fatal blow could very well mean there was another purpose."
Xie Xie showed a look of sudden realization, "Sss... I understand now, could it be the work of the Holy Spirit Cult? It's said they can turn Soul Masters into evil Soul Masters!"
Xu Xiaoyan also spoke gravely, "I've heard the same, once converted into an evil Soul Master, both the mind and the Martial Soul become corrupted."
Ye Xinglan reminded, "Maybe we shouldn't speak rashly about this kind of thing, if someone overheard and misunderstood, it would complicate matters."
Tang Wulin was looking seriously at Xu Sheng, "Teacher Xu, please."
With Teacher Xu's strength surpassing that of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, any abnormalities in his own body should be detectable!
However, Xu Sheng merely glanced at Tang Wulin casually and chuckled, "Don't worry, you are fine, and in fact, you're healthier than ever, you might even have benefited from this."
Tang Wulin was stunned, and asked with some confusion, "Teacher Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Sheng spoke in an ambiguous tone, "You haven't checked the condition inside your body since you woke up, have you? Now feel it properly and you'll understand!"
Upon hearing this, without saying another word, Tang Wulin sat cross-legged on the ground and began to sense the situation within his body...
About a dozen seconds later, he opened his eyes in shock...
Delighted, he said, "Although my body is very weak at the moment, my Bloodline Power has actually been strengthened! My strength has also improved a lot!"
Xie Xie's eyes widened in disbelief, "Really? Not only are you alright, but your strength increased too?"
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "Could it be that you're hallucinating, Wulin? The attacker stealthily attacked you and didn't even dare to show his face!"
Ye Xinglan shook her head, "I also find it hard to believe that someone would help Wulin improve his strength for no reason! But the evidence is right before our eyes..."
Out of concern, Gu Yue asked again, "Wulin, are you really sure you're okay?"
Tang Wulin flexed his biceps, "Don't worry, I'm fine, better than ever!"
The next second, the intense pain that coursed through his body made him inhale sharply, "Hiss... it hurts, it hurts!"
...
After watching Tang Wulin and his friends leave in good spirits, Xu Sheng spoke to the empty surroundings, "There's no one left here, you can come out now, can you?"
However, no one responded…
Xu Sheng's mouth curved up slightly, "Since Your Excellency refuses to come out, then let me give you a hand…"
Just at that moment, a hoarse voice called out, "Wait!"
Following that, a towering man about one meter ninety in height stepped out from a well-concealed hiding place!
His body was covered in muscles that could only be described as explosive, and his sharp contours showcased his formidable strength!
It was none other than Mu Ye, who had "attacked" Tang Wulin the night before, and was also the Sect Master of the Body Sect!
Full of wariness, he locked eyes with Xu Sheng, "Who are you? How were you able to detect me!"
In his perception, ever since he left Tang Wulin's cabin, he has felt as if he was being secretly watched…
But he could not trace the source!
And yet, this man, who only had the aura of a Soul Sage, had managed to detect him, which was cause for apprehension!
Xu Sheng replied calmly, "I'm just an ordinary teacher from Shrek Academy!!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye nodded thoughtfully, "A teacher from Shrek? If that's the case, it's not surprising that you could find me!"
However, who was the mysterious observer who has been watching him from the shadows?
Could it be that someone from the Sea God's Pavilion had also arrived?
While he pondered, Shen Yi walked over. When she saw Mu Ye's face, surprise flickered in her eyes, "Elder Mu Ye, what are you doing here?"
Mu Ye frowned slightly, "And you are?"
This young woman could actually call out his name directly!
Shen Yi replied respectfully, "My name is Shen Yi. I had the honor to meet you once when I visited the Body Sect with my teacher!"
Mu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is that so? Then you're not bad!"
The Body Sect was always strict with outsiders, and her having been able to enter proved that her teacher was no simple individual!
Shen Yi continued respectfully, "You flatter me, Elder Mu Ye!"
After a brief conversation, Mu Ye found an excuse to leave...
It was only after he left that Shen Yi took a deep breath, "Phew... speaking with Elder Mu Ye really is incredibly stressful!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Is it? I didn't feel that way. Besides, is this Mu Ye very impressive?"
There's probably no one in the Lower Realm or even the Upper Realm who could make him feel pressured!
Shen Yi nodded seriously, "Very impressive, Elder Mu Ye is the Sect Master of the Body Sect. Although his soul power rank is only level 94, he's one of the top in both Mecha and Battle Armor on the Continent!"
Even the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion show him respect!
