Chapter 60: Good News and Bad News (Part One)

  Just as Ao Fei was about to kill Zong Yin, a brown figure with a whistling gust of wind rushed to Ao Fei's back. If Ao Fei didn't pay attention to this figure, he would be severely knocked out, and considering Ao Fei's body hadn't undergone much soul power enhancement, this collision would cause him extreme injury.

  Ao Fei naturally didn't want to trade his precious body for the worthless life of Zong Xie, and with a red soul technique mark on his palm, he slapped at the incoming enemy.

  "Bang!" A dull thud, Ao Fei still failed to block the opponent's attack and was knocked flying out.

  "Wow! Great master! Your senior brother is really too strong! My brain almost shattered from that one blow! Ah, no wonder he's the master's senior brother!"

  Jin Gang shook his head in surprise and couldn't help but flatter his master.

  Ao Fei struggled to get up from the ground, staring heavily at the strange creature in front of him that could only talk. To his surprise, the palm he had just struck out with seemed to have no effect, despite being a powerful blow that would have severely injured even a high-level Soul Master with a strong soul.

  "Big brother! What's going on here?!"

  Lan Xin quickly ran to Zong Yin's side and gazed at his two arms, taking a deep breath.

  "Nothing much, just preparing to kill a worthless person."

  Ao Fei smiled slightly and adjusted his clothes, as if explaining something insignificant.

  "You! Hmph!"

  Lan Xin was so angry at Ao Fei's response that she couldn't speak, and coldly snorted. She didn't bother with Ao Fei anymore, squatting down and carefully placing her hands on Zong Yin's arms. The blue healing technique pattern appeared, and she began to treat Zong Yin's shattered bones.

  Ao Fei sneered, just about to cross over Lan Xin and kill Zong Yin directly. However, Li Bu Xiang and the others arrived after hearing the explosion sound. Ao Fei's face sank, realizing he had missed the best opportunity to kill Zong Yin. But his eyes turned, and he smiled eerily, putting his hands behind his back, dispersing the Red Star Soul Technique from his hands. The purple soul technique pattern covered his hands as he made a false attack on Zong Yin, and then his hands returned to normal.

  Zong Yin's eyes suddenly widened, and he fainted when the purple soul technique pattern on Ao Fei disappeared.

  "What's going on?"

  Li's eyebrows were tightly locked, he swept a glance at Zong Yin who had fainted on the ground, and then measured the big pit again, full of doubts, and asked Ao Fei.

  "Who knows? When I arrived, I saw a big pit here and that kid was lying there covered in wounds. I saw how much pain he was in and originally wanted to help him end his suffering, but then my junior sister arrived, and then you all came, so if you have any questions just ask him, nothing to do with me, I'll leave first."

  Ao Fei shrugged and said calmly, after finishing speaking, he didn't say much to Li Bu Xue, turned around and walked away by himself.

  Li gazed at Ao Fei's departing figure with a gloomy expression, silent and lost in thought, before finally letting out a cold snort and walking away towards Zong Yin and Lan Xin.

  Zong Yin woke up in a terrifying hunger, and the first thing he did after waking up was to take out food from his storage ring and stuff it into his mouth. Even though waving his arms would bring him considerable pain, he didn't care about that anymore. His only feeling now was hunger!

  As a large amount of food entered his belly and was converted into energy, Zong Yin gradually recovered some of his physical strength. The Qi Stone also began to rotate, mobilizing the Qi in the acupoints throughout his body and restoring the bones in both arms that had not yet fully recovered.

  "Damn it! Since I won't die today, one day you will pay with your life! Today's grudge will be repaid tenfold!"

  After eating for a whole minute, Zong Yin finally caught his breath, with fierce anger burning in his eyes. He tore off a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth, looking around at the surroundings, which were similar to the dormitory he had lived in before, and should be the new dormitory arranged by the Soul School for him.

  "A piece of good news and a piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

  Before Zong Yin could go out and take a look, Hun Yu's voice had already sounded in Zong Yin's heart, and what made Zong Yin worried was that Hun Yu's tone was extremely strange.

  "Ever since I came here, I haven't heard any good news! Let's start with the bad stuff, let me see if there's anything that can get worse!"

  With a roll of his eyes, Zong Yin felt that he was still alive was already the best news. And from crossing over to now, he had been having bad luck all along, so he didn't expect anything good to happen. He might as well see what kind of bad news could be worse than having his soul controlled, his Charms destroyed, and his Qi being problematic, not to mention being hunted down by others.

  "Look at your aura stone."

  Hun Yu seemed to have guessed that Zong Yin would choose bad news, and as soon as Zong Yin's words fell, he quickly said a sentence.

  Zong Yin's eyebrows twitched, thinking of the already destroyed Force Stone, his heart cursed! Did his own Qi Stone also get destroyed?! At the first moment, according to Hun Yu's words, he felt his own Qi Stone, and this look suddenly made Zong Yin stunned.

  "I'm going! What is this thing?! A 'Soul Devourer' soul type?!"

  A small purple protrusion was attached to the surface of the gas field, countless purple veins like tentacles wrapped around the entire gas field, and that purple protrusion was beating like a heart, jumping up and down. Even Zonghui could feel his own soul power being slowly absorbed into that little purple bulge.

  Seeing this scene, Zong Yin's heart was greatly shocked, and he couldn't help but think of the description of "Soul Devouring" in the "Soul Technique Encyclopedia", which clearly showed the appearance of being possessed by a soul seed!

  No wonder when Lan Xin was helping him treat his arm, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body and lost consciousness. At that time, the remnant soul power left in his body by Ao Fei was condensed into a soul seed and implanted into his body.

  "Congratulations, you answered correctly, unfortunately there is no reward. In my estimation, within three days at most, this soul species will absorb your soul power and regrow into a Soul Devouring technique. That is to say, after three days, your life will be in Ao Fei's hands."

  Zong Yin had already discovered the anomaly of the Qi Cuo stone, and Hun Yu was still carelessly joking around, seemingly not worried at all that Zong Yin would get into trouble.

  "My god! Another cliché plot twist! Damn it! You're screwing with me!"

  Hun Yu's affirmation made Zong Yin suddenly furious! This was indeed a terrible piece of news, originally that mysterious black shadow could kill him at any time was enough, unexpectedly this time his body had also been implanted with a soul species!

  As long as his soul seed grows, his life is in Ao Fei's hands. As long as Ao Fei is unhappy, he will explode and die.

  "Cough, don't be in a hurry, the good news is that I found out that the Spirit Stone can also contain Soul Techniques. Of course, this isn't the real good news, the real good news is that I can cut off the connection between these two Soul Technique marks of yours, just like I have a way to cut off that part of your soul power that was absorbed by the Nascent Ring."

  Hun Yu coughed lightly twice, interrupting Zong Yin's roar, and spoke out the good news in his mouth.

  "Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier?! You scared me to death!"

  Zong Yin suddenly burst out scolding, and in an instant he had a feeling of riding a roller coaster. Just now he had fallen to the bottom of the valley, but this time he was lifted up again. No wonder when he said bad news before, his tone was not at all sad, it turned out that he had a way to eliminate hidden dangers.

  "Conditional drop! Due to the damage to its original soul, it can only be nourished by your soul's power to recover, but your current strength is insufficient. You must first form a central soul stone, which is also known as Soul Master level one. Only when two soul stones work together can I cut off this strand of connection."

  Can't help but say that this Cloud Soaring Flying Car is really exciting. After just one lap, he took Zong Yin into the valley again.

  "Soul Master First Level! Still short of 153 units of soul power! Even with the help of the Queen Bee, I can only form one more unit of soul power per day! It'll take at least five months to reach Soul Master First Level!"

  Zong was silent, forming a Central Pill required a thousand strands of soul force, and now his soul force only had eight hundred and forty-seven strands, there was still a significant gap between him and the one thousand strands. Even if he trained his soul force with all his might every day, it would still take a large amount of time for him to reach the one thousand strands of soul force.

  "So! During this time, you must ensure that you don't die! If you get killed by Ao Feng, I won't be able to help you!"

  "I'm afraid three days later will be my deadline."

  Facing Mo Yu's words, Zong Yin could only respond with a bitter smile. Ao Fei had already revealed his identity to him, and it was clear that he didn't plan on letting him live.

  "On the contrary, if I'm not mistaken, this time he won't let you die easily. The number of Soul Eaters' soul seeds is limited, and each one planted means one less available. Even the Purple Star's Soul Eater can only have twelve slots at most. Those six Soul Masters who came to kill you earlier were probably all people who had been implanted with his soul seeds. Moreover, from the fact that he personally took action to kill you this time, it's clear that he must not have anyone else left in the Soul Academy to do his bidding. So, he'll definitely need someone to take care of some shady business for him, and the best candidate would be you, someone valued by the upper echelons of Ding Sheng. After all, if he had wanted to kill you back then, even Li Buqi's arrival wouldn't have been able to stop him."

  Just when Zong Yin was filled with a sense of loss, Hun Yu's tone suddenly changed and slowly analyzed it for him.

  After being mixed by Yu, Zong Yin also felt that it seemed to be the case. After all, after the soul entered the body, not only could he regrow new soul techniques, but he could also use them to kill people! However, using a single soul seed to kill someone was indeed a waste.

  "Little sister, is Zong Yin recovering from his injuries inside? Can I go in and take a look at him?"
