173: Chapter 173 Slaying the Soul Douluo

"Fourth Soul Skill: Hundred Ghosts' Mourning!"

Buzz!

The world instantly turned dark red.

The ground cracked open, and hideous Ghost Souls crawled out one after another.

Each Ghost Soul had sunken eye sockets and a distorted face, surrounded by a thin black mist.

Their appearance caused a surge of overwhelming resentment to fill the entire land.

Ghostly weeping echoed everywhere.

Resounding through the clouds.

Their ghostly shrieks formed a mental storm impact.

Accompanied by the Binding of resentful souls, they attacked the surroundings wantonly.

The mental techniques deployed by Meng Shenji were instantly dispersed.

The number of Ghouls in Su Wen's Fourth Soul Skill reached 331.

Mental damage increased by 331%!

Even a Spirit Douluo specializing in mental techniques would be momentarily unable to withstand it.

"Martial Soul True Body!"

Meng Shenji felt as if his brain was being torn apart; reacting extremely quickly, he instantly activated his Seventh Spirit Skill.

His entire body transformed into a dark purple Black Demon.

It let out a loud, piercing shriek.

Intertwining with the sound of the Hundred Ghosts' Mourning.

"Overlapping Shadows!"

The Black Demon's fifth spirit ring rotated, and its body vanished from the spot, leaving an afterimage on the ground, reappearing not far from Su Wen.

The Black Demon's phantom claw suddenly enlarged, clawing forward.

"Third Soul Skill: Soul Returning Rain!"

The Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor appeared beside Su Wen, her red veil fluttering.

Revealing a stunningly beautiful, pale, moving, and noble face.

Those pale red pupils glanced at Su Wen's cheek, and a single red teardrop flowed from the Ghost Emperor Bride's eyes, trickling down her face and falling to the ground.

The world entered a shade of dark red.

A rain of blood descended in an instant.

Meng Shenji immediately felt his power being heavily suppressed.

Ghost Souls flew out from the ground, each emitting wails, laughter, or even operatic singing.

Bai He and the others rushed out, surrounded by seven spirit rings: two yellow, three purple, and two black-and-white.

Like controlled Puppets, they took the initiative to block the Black Demon's giant hand.

And launched a suicide attack against it.

Meng Shenji's pupils constricted, completely unable to understand the situation.

The Saint's Spirit actually summoned a Spirit Saint and several Spirit Emperors.

But what on earth were those black-and-white spirit rings behind them?

"Bai Baoshan?"

Meng Shenji saw a familiar figure among them, a plump and rounded physique.

But it was vastly different from the Bai Baoshan in his memory; he was no longer the honest man he remembered. His features were completely distorted, his pupils devoid of emotion, his skin was dark red—almost blackish-red—and his cheeks were covered with eerie runes.

Unless one was extremely familiar with him, it would be hard to recognize Bai Baoshan at a glance.

"What did you do to him?"

Meng Shenji withdrew his attack and began to defend; he couldn't bring himself to attack Bai Baoshan.

Su Wen said nothing, only his lips curling slightly.

"Darkness Devouring!"

A Xie suddenly appeared behind Meng Shenji.

Her First Soul Skill, Assault, allowed her to enter a hidden state, approaching the enemy silently before delivering a fatal blow.

Meng Shenji clearly hadn't expected A Xie to have already reached him.

He thought A Xie was fighting Zhi Lin; facing a Spirit Douluo, she should have been going all out, and he never expected her to have the strength left to ambush him.

With the appearance of a black hole, Meng Shenji felt himself being forcibly pulled by a force.

Bai Baoshan and Bai He took the opportunity to rush over and grab him.

Forcing him into the black hole.

"Stop!"

"Dancing Vines!"

Zhi Lin rushed over rapidly, slamming both hands onto the ground.

Emerald-like vines sprouted from the earth, whipping around the surroundings.

Su Wen chuckled, "First Soul Skill: Fire Dragon King!"

"Roar!!"

A dragon's roar suddenly rang out, so loud it even formed an energy storm that spread in all directions.

Everyone who heard the dragon's roar felt their Spirits tremble slightly.

Especially those with Beast Spirits; they felt it most clearly.

The teachers and students who were watching or rushing over all turned pale, their own Spirits trembling with fear.

Meng Shenji's Black Demon Spirit's resistance weakened, and he was swallowed directly into the black hole.

The Azure Vines appearing around had no time to rescue him before they were ignited by the flames.

The Fire Dragon King appeared before Su Wen.

Her entire body burned with Ultimate Fire, and even her pupils had bright red flames dancing within them.

With a wave of her hand, the Fire Dragon King unleashed a wave of fire like a hundred-meter-high tsunami, crashing towards Zhi Lin.

The high-temperature sea of fire blazed furiously, igniting everything it touched.

Zhi Lin frantically summoned Azure Vines to delay the onslaught of the sea of fire.

The moment A Xie's first spirit ring rotated, she vanished from the spot, reappearing behind Zhi Lin.

Her right-hand claws suddenly struck forward, a sharp cold light flashing through the air and hitting Zhi Lin's back. The latter let out a pained groan and was sent flying. With no one left to block it, the sea of fire surged forward, completely engulfing Zhi Lin.

As the sea of fire arrived, A Xie turned into black mist and returned to Su Wen's first spirit ring.

The battle ended, and the Fire Dragon King vanished, leaving behind only the scorched earth baked by the flames.

"Solved!"

Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief; although it had taken some effort.

The task was considered complete.

Looking around, many buildings had been destroyed.

Many teachers and students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were quietly observing.

"The three Education Commissioners are dead! The Holy Son of Spirit Hall killed them, and it was done by a group of Spirit Kings!"

"What kind of spirit ring configuration is that? Yellow, purple, black, black, black? That's impossible, how can such spirit rings exist!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is here! The Royal Knights have arrived!"

Seeing the arrival of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, many teachers finally dared to step forward.

Xue Qinghe was on horseback, followed by a group of Spirit Master knights.

Xue Qinghe's expression was extremely grim. Su Wen had rejected the orders of the Hall of Worship and even acted so openly.

Inside, he was filled with even more shock and awe; the Titled Douluo behind Su Wen hadn't made a move, yet Su Wen had acted personally and even succeeded!

Has Su Wen already become this strong?!

Xue Qinghe dismounted. Stepping onto the ground, he could feel a scorching heat.

The surrounding knights closed in, encircling Su Wen.

Every knight was on high alert. Although they didn't know the specifics, the destruction around them was enough to show that the person before them was not simple.

She looked at Su Wen, both shocked and angry. Under many watchful eyes, she spoke up, "His Highness the Holy Son, won't you give an explanation?"

"I am indeed sorry. I will compensate for the damaged items at their full value!"

Su Wen smiled, "Once you've tallied it up, send it directly to the Holy Palace. Not a single cent of the compensation will be missing!"

Xue Qinghe was speechless, and the group of Royal Academy teachers gathering around were even more furious.

He killed three Education Commissioners and actually thought he could settle it with gold coins?

"His Highness the Holy Son, do you think the three Education Commissioners of my Heaven Dou Academy can be bought with gold coins?"
