998: Yagami Team

Divine Hall, Main City.

As the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination approached, the God's Temple Main City was also filled with a lively competition atmosphere.

Everyone was making their final preparations for this Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination.

As for the incident caused by the Goddess of the Divine Hall a few days ago, the discussion heat gradually faded out of people's sight with the arrival of the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination and the suppression by the Divine Hall.

Divine Hall Prison.

In the clean underground palace, a dark bluestone path extended towards the depths.

And beside these diverging stone slab paths were cells emitting foul or fishy smells.

On the walls of the spaced-out cells, torches burning with flames provided unstable light.

Crying, cursing, wailing, sounds of various negative emotions echoed within the dungeon.

The distorted shadows of the flickering firelight, in this atmosphere, instead gave people an unspeakable sense of security.

"Cough cough ~" In the depths of the cell, a person who seemed to have been forgotten was pulling at a dry, cracked throat, coughing weakly.

This person was clearly Moyun, who had been ordered to be imprisoned in the Divine Hall's great prison.

Currently, his hands and feet were covered in blood, and there was no trace of Martial Soul power around his body.

His face was pale, and in his eyes, there was only hatred tinged with obsession.

"Moyun? Moyun!" Suddenly, from outside the somewhat noisy cell, a familiar female voice entered his ears.

Hearing this voice, Moyun turned his head to look.

He saw.

Standing at the entrance of his prison cell was the Goddess, dressed in a Black Robe, looking sneaky like a thief.

"Clang ~" The cell door chain opened, and the Goddess quickly stepped inside.

"Moyun, take this." The Goddess placed a pill into the immobile Moyun's hand: "This is a Nirvana Pill, only one can be obtained from the God Lord every twenty years, I stole this from my Father Emperor."

"This..." Looking at the pill in his hand, Moyun's heart felt a slight fluctuation.

Nirvana Pill, this is a Divine Pill that is enough to make a person completely transform and awaken a more powerful talent!

Its preciousness could no longer be measured by money.

If the Goddess stole this, the consequences would definitely be extremely serious!

He didn't expect this woman would go this far for him.

For a moment, regarding the matter of the Goddess being the daughter of his enemy, Moyun's heart loosened slightly.

From the Goddess, he also vaguely saw Ning Bing's shadow, and a feeling derived from emotion began to arise in his heart.

It's just that.

The words the Goddess said the next moment directly shattered Moyun's fluctuating emotions.

"Moyun, after you take this pill and recover from your injuries, leave forever, do not appear in the outside world, and even less appear before the Divine Hall!"

"Living in seclusion and anonymity is the safest for you, and we should not meet again in the future, this Nirvana Pill is the last thing I can do for you."

After the Goddess said these words with teary eyes, she immediately got up and left.

Having stolen the Nirvana Pill, her best case scenario was to be completely grounded, constantly monitored, making it completely impossible to meet Moyun again.

"Yi Qing..." Moyun watched the Goddess leave with a complicated expression, and after a long time, his gaze fell back on the Nirvana Pill and the key to open the cell in his hand.

Half an hour later.

After swallowing and absorbing the Nirvana Pill, Moyun let out a long breath of turbid air, his gaze looking at his hands and feet, the Meridians that had been severed had already healed.

And his Martial Soul...

At the same time he sensed something, a metallic luster faintly appeared behind Moyun.

His Metal Martial Soul had returned, and his strength had also reached the Peak of a Four-Star Soul Card Master!

Besides that, there was also...

The moment Moyun's mind stirred slightly, a sapling appeared before him!

"The Nirvana Pill actually allowed me to awaken a Second Martial Soul, a Wood element Martial Soul!"

While his heart trembled, Moyun restrained his emotions and instead took out the key to open the cell door from his body: "Divine Hall, Du Xingchen, we are not done yet, it is far from over!"

...

That night.

Shield City, Yunyong Academy.

The Academy had been without a Dean and Instructor for these past few days, but the overall operation remained normal.

The original work of the Dean and Instructor was now being taken over by Du Xingchen.

The main reason it could operate normally like before, and even make the School more lively before the arrival of the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, was that Du Xingchen had twenty million god temple coins as support to pay the salaries of the School's staff and Teachers, double salary!

At this moment.

On the top of a high mountain cliff in the School's Back Mountain, Du Xingchen and others were happily having a meal together.

The area below the mountain they overlooked was a prosperous night view of Shield City.

The night wind, like elves, swept in gusts, soothing the restless hearts of people.

"Yuan Lei, don't be polite, aren't we all familiar now? Now you are our teammate, even one of us! Just eat, the Captain is treating!" Sitting around the bonfire, there was plenty of cooked food on the ground.

Liangcai Sword chewed on a rabbit leg while handing the other half of the roasted rabbit to the slightly constrained Yuan Lei.

Yuan Lei politely accepted the food, and after hesitating for a while, he still spoke: "Actually, I just came to see you as a friend, I didn't think about joining your team."

"With my incomplete strength, joining your team would only be a burden and drag down your ranking."

"You don't need to deliberately give me this teammate status just because you are considering me."

Yuan Lei was already hesitant about joining the team of Du Xingchen and others.

Now, after meeting these guys who treated him with the same enthusiasm as before, his idea of not wanting to be a burden to them and drag them down became even stronger.

After Yuan Lei finished speaking, the mountaintop fell into a slight silence.

Wen Xiucheng and the other teammates also looked at Du Xingchen.

In fact, choosing Yuan Lei as a teammate was also a question in their hearts.

If it weren't for this decision being made by Du Xingchen, they would most likely not have approved of Yuan Lei joining.

Just as Yuan Lei himself said, his current strength, to put it nicely, was a Five-Star Soul Card Master on hand, but to put it badly, he was not even as good as a Four-Star Soul Card Master!

Being friends was fine, but being teammates indeed lowered the overall strength.

The Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, which could drive everyone towards positive development and becoming stronger, ultimately relied on strength!

Facing everyone's focused gaze, Du Xingchen unhurriedly took out the Treasure Hunting Plate from his body and looked at the crowd: "Are you all very curious why I have always wanted Yuan Lei to be our teammate?"

"Actually, it's a very simple reason, because he is strong enough."

"I'm strong enough?" After hearing this answer, Yuan Lei didn't even believe it himself: "Xingchen, you don't need to comfort me like this."

Du Xingchen noncommittally placed the Treasure Hunting Plate in his hand in front of everyone, his finger pointing at the six bright light spots on the Treasure Hunting Plate: "There are six light spots on this, each light spot represents the designated Bloodline with a Divine Inheritance that exists within your bodies."

As he spoke, his finger moved, and then Du Xingchen pointed at one of the light spots corresponding to Yuan Lei's location: "Yuan Lei, in fact, you have a God Bloodline in your body, you just haven't discovered it."

"If you accept the Divine Inheritance that belongs only to this Bloodline of yours, you will instantly return to your Peak, or even become stronger!"

"What?" After this news arrived, Yuan Lei showed a shocked expression, just as expected.

The other teammates also showed understanding expressions.

"So, from the beginning, Xingchen, you knew I had a God Bloodline? And it was because I had a God Bloodline that you tried to recruit me like this?"

Du Xingchen nodded without denying: "To be precise, it's because we need you that we recruited you."

"Now you also know your situation, there are still two or three days left until the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, you still have a chance to choose to go back."

"But, we really need you, are you willing to join us?"

Du Xingchen let the other party know about the God Bloodline matter, and from beginning to end, he still left room for the other party to choose and showed respect.

After presenting this impeccable operation, Du Xingchen actually knew in his heart that Yuan Lei as a teammate was basically a sure thing.

His ability to come to Yunyong Academy indicated that he had had enough of the bullying and injustice there.

As for his reluctance to become their teammate, the reason was that he couldn't bear the kindness and emotions of these people in his heart, feeling that he was a burden and unworthy of standing with everyone and consuming everyone's emotions.

Now, Du Xingchen spoke of the other party's potential, letting the other party know that he was someone truly needed.

Coupled with the kind of friendship emotions that Du Xingchen had built up over these past few days, and his sincere attitude at this moment, it completely cut off Yuan Lei's thought of leaving!

Yuan Lei's current thoughts were clearly all within Du Xingchen's calculations.

He looked at these sincere people and the sincere Du Xingchen before him with a somewhat dazed expression, his face very moved.

The question in his heart about why Du Xingchen didn't tell him about the Bloodline earlier also vanished into thin air after Du Xingchen now left him room for choice.

He could still make a choice at this last moment, take his God Bloodline, and return to the Demon Hall full of confidence.

But... this team that treated him so sincerely in front of him needed him!

They saved his life, supported him, and respected all his choices.

Now that it was time they truly needed him, should he ignore it, pay no attention, and not care?

If that were the case, then he wouldn't be Yuan Lei!

"I'll join you!" Yuan Lei took a deep breath, as if having made a certain decision, and nodded heavily!

Du Xingchen smiled slightly and extended his palm.

Yuan Lei also smiled knowingly and extended his palm to firmly shake Du Xingchen's hand.

"Welcome to the Eight Gods Team!" Du Xingchen formally announced.
