Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 7: Hu Liena's Death, Xia Yu's Reappearance

The black tea in the cup had gone cold. Bibi Dong sighed, feeling a pang of heartache as she watched her disciple heartbroken.

[After returning, with the teacher's help, the already limited amount of murderous intent within him was successfully eliminated.]

At twenty-two, you and your brother successfully broke through to level sixty in soul power.

Therefore, your teacher was quite pleased. After a long talk that night, your brother voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, saying that he only wanted to protect you, his only sister.

Soon after, you became the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and the top candidate for the future Pope of the Spirit Hall.

[At a time when you should be happy, you feel inexplicably sad, because your brother has sacrificed so much for you.]

[Seemingly sensing your thoughts, your brother explained his wish to you: rather than shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Spirit Hall's future, he would rather protect you, his family.]

Once your worries are resolved, you will follow your teacher to learn how to manage the affairs of the Spirit Hall.

At twenty-three, after annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, acquiring your sixth spirit ring is now on the agenda.

One day, your teacher organized a group of Title Douluos and high-level combatants from the Spirit Hall, and took you and your brother Xie Yue to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After careful questioning, you learn that the goal of this trip is to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Xie Yue is not bad, but why hasn't this simulation ended yet?"

After praising Xie Yue, Bibi Dong noticed the difference between this simulation and the last one.

Both this time and last time, Hu Liena was chosen to become the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall in the future. However, last time, the simulation ended as soon as she became the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

But this time it continues.

"Could it be because of the changes in Nana's future in this simulator?"

There was no instruction manual for this simulator, and after much thought, Bibi Dong finally decided to give up.

The hunt began quickly, as the Spirit Hall's scouts had already located the exact position of the 100,000-year-old soul beast.

[Because this 100,000-year-old soul beast is in human form, it cannot unleash strength equivalent to a Title Douluo. That's why your teacher took you with him to broaden your horizons.]

[To hone your abilities, your teacher has assigned you to lead a group of top-tier combatants in this matter, while several titled Douluo are responsible for delivering a decisive blow from the shadows.]

[Just as the team entered the Star Dou Great Forest, unexpectedly, someone you've been longing for appeared.]

It was Tang Yin; for some unknown reason, he had also appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing this, you were quite pleased. Upon learning that the other party was also there to hunt soul beasts for soul rings, you ignored Xie Yue's advice to refuse and readily pulled Tang Yin into your team.

"Something feels off."

Bibi Dong frowned. Tang Yin's reappearance and his reason for hunting spirit rings seemed reasonable, but her appearance at this juncture felt somewhat strange to her.

Your search has been arduous; the millennia-old soul beasts you've encountered along the way have caused you considerable trouble.

At this moment, Tang Yin stepped forward. He seemed to possess some kind of secret technique, enabling him to avoid the soul beasts in the forest and find the safest route.

With Tang Yin's help, you successfully located the transformed soul beast guarded by two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

However, this secret technique seemed to consume a great deal of soul power. Tang Yin, having completed his mission, could barely stand and had to be supported by Xie Yue.

Upon seeing you, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were enraged and wanted to tear you apart, but they were stopped by the Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo who arrived in time.

You then led several Soul Saints forward, intending to capture the transformed Soul Beast.

The transformed spirit beast seemed stunned upon seeing you, staring at you for a moment before starting to flee.

Just as you were giving chase, something unexpected happened.

The simulator's text suddenly stopped there. Bibi Dong clicked her tongue and slapped the screen in the air, which only she could see.

"What's wrong with this simulator? What happened?"

Bibi Dong slapped the screen repeatedly, making the text on the simulator vibrate.

Please do not damage the simulator!

Seeing this, Bibi Dong stopped. She couldn't accept that she was stuck at the crucial point.

Just as your capture team's fighting strength was tied up, the previously powerless Tang Yin ambushed your brother, knocked him unconscious, and threw him to you.

[Then, a plant resembling Blue Silver Grass suddenly shot out, instantly killing the surrounding Soul Saints.]

Your pupils trembled violently, and you felt your heart stop beating.

[Tang Yin took away the transformed soul beast. You were filled with disbelief, and finally, you cut your own arm with a dagger. The pain brought you back to your senses.]

You lead the remaining Soul Saints to pursue Tang Yin.

"As expected, as expected!" Bibi Dong couldn't help but sneer. Tang Yin's appearance was really strange, and the subsequent sneak attack still exposed his true colors.

"The Clear Sky Hammer! The Blue Silver Emperor! It's related to the transformed soul beasts... So it was you, Tang San!"

Bibi Dong's expression grew increasingly grim. Even she hadn't been able to connect Tang San and Tang Yin before, let alone Hu Liena.

Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Emperor. The latter name might be unfamiliar to others, but Bibi Dong knew very well that the transformed soul beast that had an affair with Tang Hao was the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

What happened next?

Although your soul power has reached level 60, you haven't acquired your sixth soul ring, so your speed is simply not keeping up with the other Soul Saints traveling with you.

Tang Yin was like an unkillable cockroach; every time he was attacked in a vital spot, he could withstand it and charge forward again.

Along the way, you only saw the corpses of a few Soul Saints killed by Tang Yin.

Finally, under the relentless attacks, Tang Yin and the transformed soul beast could no longer run.

[You brought twenty Soul Saints with you on this trip, but now only nine remain surrounding Tang Yin and his companion.]

Your eyes were bloodshot, and your heart was filled with a murderous intent that surged like a raging storm.

[Under your command, the remaining Soul Saints unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms, intending to severely injure Tang Yin and his companion with ranged attacks.]

Just as Tang Yin was severely injured in the chest again, the 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrificed itself.

You won't believe it!

The sacrificial light soared into the sky, and the roars of two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the distance even reached your ears.

[She Long has arrived to order you to retreat; the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts are now completely enraged.]

The Soul Saint beside you was about to leave, but you shook your head.

[Because of you, Tang Yin infiltrated the capture team. You remembered your promise to your teacher.]

If I develop a liking for an enemy of the Spirit Hall, I will definitely kill them.

[After handing your brother Xie Yue over to She Long, you decisively turned back.]

[You concealed your presence, and the enraged Titan Ape and Azure Bull Python were kept at bay by the sacrificial light, failing to detect your existence.]

[Just as the sacrifice ended, and Tang Yin stood frozen in place, feeding a peculiar flower to the rabbit in his arms, you made your move!]

The person and two spirit beasts, still immersed in grief, had no idea that someone else was hiding there.

You thrust your poisoned blade into Tang Yin's right eye. The next instant, you saw the soul bone on his right leg glow blue again.

[With a ruthless heart, you drew your blade and with a swift stroke, severed the head of the rabbit in his arms, just as Tang Yin was about to retaliate.]

[For this, you were pierced through the abdomen by Tang Yin, and just as you were about to be killed by the two enraged 100,000-year-old soul beasts, a figure appeared before you.]

You were taken away. The massive tremors from afar made you realize that you might be saved.

Just as you were about to express your gratitude, a sharp pain in your abdomen brought you back to reality.

[It wasn't just your blade that was poisoned; Tang Yin's counterattack also poisoned you.]

You sat down against the tree, the deadly poison still slowly taking your life, and you gave up.

Just as you were about to see who saved you, you saw a familiar face.

Handsome and dashing, yet with a touch of languor; his eyes crinkle into a smile, suggesting an air of carefree freedom at all times.

It's Xia Yu; he's continuously channeling his soul power, trying to preserve your life.

That immense soul power was clearly different from the level 27 Great Soul Master you remembered.

[Only then did you realize that your brother's good friend had been hiding many things.]

He was swearing constantly, cursing you for not running away and saying you deserved to die, but he just wouldn't stop unleashing his soul power.

You knew he was mostly there because your brother saved you, but you still gave him your last smile.

You gently raised your blood-stained hand and stroked Xia Yu's cheek. He hesitated for a moment, but didn't flinch.

Your smile deepened, but your vision gradually dimmed.

[The faint sound of Xia Yu's voice echoed in my ears: You're dead.]

[Simulation ends. 】
