"Yuhao..." He Caitou seemed to sense something and opened his mouth to persuade him, but he only saw Huo Yuhao's extremely resolute gaze.
"Brother He Caitou, the academy has paid so much to train me for the Limit Single Soldier Plan, and the Limit Single Soldier exists precisely to fully unleash an individual's power and achieve the greatest effect."
"This moment is exactly the time to test the results of the academy's training, and no one is more suitable for this mission than me, who possesses the Simulation soul skill."
"But that place is, after all—" He Caitou did not finish his sentence, but he knew Huo Yuhao should understand what he meant.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced left and right. Seeing that some spectators were still paying attention to the rest area, he said no more and only gently shook his head.
"We'll talk about it after we return to the hotel." As he spoke, he had already turned his gaze toward the arena.
"Xiaoya..."
In the arena, Unbreakable Douluo had already signaled the start of the match, but Beibei still stood motionless in place and only softly called out once.
Tang Ya, opposite him, however, seemed deaf to it. Dark blue airflow swirled up around her as her figure rapidly shot forward.
As the distance between the two grew closer and closer, two yellow, two purple, and three black, seven soul rings rose one after another from beneath Tang Ya's feet.
The ability to devour the opponent's life to increase one's own cultivation was, even among evil soul masters, the most brutal, most direct, and at the same time most effective method.
Moreover, the objects Tang Ya devoured were not limited to humans; whether plants or soul beasts, all of them could allow her to grow stronger.
Her third soul ring lit up, and a dark purple giant net had already enveloped Beibei.
Seven soul rings.
Beibei's expression froze for a moment. He finally released his martial soul. As blue-purple electric light surged upward, another electric net also flew toward Tang Ya.
As the electric net and the giant net woven from Blue Silver Grass became entangled with each other, Beibei's gaze seemed to pass through them, carrying endless longing as it fell upon Tang Ya.
"Xiaoya, I miss you so much..."
Tang Ya seemed to pause slightly. The next moment, her fourth soul ring lit up, and countless spear-like Blue Silver Grass blades shot up from beneath Beibei's feet.
But Beibei appeared to have anticipated it. The instant Tang Ya's soul ring lit up, his figure had already leaped into the air and left his original position.
Thunder roared. Beibei thrust his palm forward; his arm was already covered in patches of dragon scales. Blue-purple electric current constantly danced across the dragon's scales, reflecting his face in blue.
From the spectator stands came several not-very-loud cheers. In the previous elimination matches, Beibei had taken the stage more than once, but no matter who his opponent was, they would fall under this roar of thunder.
Tang Ya waved her hand, and countless Blue Silver Grass flew back, blocking in front of her as if trying to stop Beibei's attack.
But even after becoming an evil soul master, how could her fragile Blue Silver Grass possibly withstand Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw?
Countless vines shattered one after another. Just as the dragon-head-shaped electric light was about to smash into Tang Ya's face, the next moment, Beibei's figure abruptly halted.
The Thunder Dragon Claw did not harm Tang Ya in the slightest; it only sent a gust of wind that blew the bamboo hat off her head and onto the ground.
Looking at that face he had thought of day and night, now so close at hand, Beibei's gaze became incomparably gentle.
"Xiaoya, no matter what you've been through, come back with me, alright?"
Beibei spoke once again. His voice did not carry far, but whether it was Unbreakable Douluo, the referee on the stage, or the surrounding spectators, more or less sensed something.
Although Beibei had held back more than once before, that was only when he was certain of victory. The current scene could hardly be explained merely by saying the outcome was already decided.
Curiosity appeared on many faces; people were quite interested in the relationship between these two contestants on the stage.
However, just as everyone was anticipating how Tang Ya would respond, her fifth soul ring suddenly lit up.
A pitch-black soul ring brought a stifling aura. Immediately afterward, a Blue Silver Grass shining with dark purple light pierced straight through Beibei's right chest like a long spear.
"Pfft—"
The massive impact forced Beibei to stagger back several steps. In the Shrek Academy rest area, everyone watching the match stood up one after another.
Beibei could feel his life force rapidly draining away, but he still endured the pain and raised his head to look gently at Tang Ya before him.
Tang Ya, opposite him, did not continue the pursuit. Instead, she took steps to the side, picked up the bamboo hat from the ground, and placed it back on her head.
The hanging light veil separated Beibei's gaze, seemingly isolating him in another world.
"I'm sorry, I can't go back anymore."
After those words, Tang Ya turned her head toward Unbreakable Douluo on the side. "You can announce the result now."
Unbreakable Douluo still hesitated somewhat, but then he heard Wang Yan rush to the edge
of the arena from below. "We concede this match."
Beibei's rash appearance on stage and his injury had completely disrupted his plan. Moreover, after Tang Ya had been missing for so long, her strength had unexpectedly reached the Soul Saint level.
No matter what Beibei was thinking, he could not allow Beibei to continue fighting Tang Ya.
In the arena, Beibei had completely frozen in place. Neither Unbreakable Douluo's words nor Wang Yan's concession had reached his ears.
After Tang Ya spoke, he could no longer hear any other sound.
He had originally thought Tang Ya had some hardship or was perhaps being controlled, but he had never imagined that Tang Ya's consciousness was actually clear, and from her response just now, she clearly recognized him and understood what he was saying.
Yet even so, she still rejected him.
His life force continued to drain away, but the pain in his chest was far less than the pain in his heart.
"Thud—"
Beibei's body suddenly fell straight backward onto the arena.
Tang Ya's figure swayed slightly, but she still stood in place and looked toward the Shrek Academy area. "Who's next?"
Up on the high platform, Xu Tianran was watching the match in the arena, accompanied by a group of ministers. Seeing this, he suddenly turned his head toward Zhongli Wu beside him.
"State Preceptor, it seems your disciple has quite a connection with Shrek Academy."
"Indeed." Zhongli Wu nodded and was about to explain when he suddenly saw a soldier climb onto the high platform and walk to Xu Tianran's side.
Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and listened as the soldier whispered a few words in his ear. In an instant, Xu Tianran's face became extremely ugly.
"Is this true?"
"It is the report from the personnel responsible for investigating the soul tools."
"Hmph." Xu Tianran suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Good, very good. Pass down the order, let the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Soul Engineer Legion enter Mingdu."
As soon as these words came out, Ju Zi and Zhongli Wu beside him both turned to look at him.
But Xu Tianran had no intention of explaining, nor did he have any mood left to continue watching the match. He pushed his wheelchair and turned to leave the platform.
