Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

"What are you doing at the Ministry of Magic? Is this a competition? This is torture!"

"Yeah... the energy of a storm is close to that of a level eight magical beast? What the hell!"

"A wave of level 7 monsters has appeared! Are you using the contestants as fodder?"

"A random bat showed up, and it turned out to be at the peak of the late seventh stage. Is this a competition about who has a tougher life?"

"Even if the Demon Soul Ranking is open and the competition is fierce, it shouldn't be so severe that everyone loses limbs, right? That's too vicious!"

"Is this an official underground arena? It's legal and compliant! I'm speechless..."

"That's too much! Even if a mid-level magician were to attend the meeting, I wouldn't say it's foolproof!"

"People from the five major colleges have all protested and officially submitted their appeal. Let's see how they respond soon!"

……

On the Square of Honor, there was still a lot of discussion as usual, but this time the focus of the discussion was no longer on the contestants' wonderful performances, but on the unified condemnation of the Ministry of Magic.

Minister Robert was dumbfounded and a little confused. According to the estimates and evaluations before the meeting, it was absolutely impossible for energy above the level of an elementary mage to appear, but the current situation was far beyond expectations.

He activated the emergency plan and went to the meeting hall of the Ministry of Magic in person to hold an urgent quick meeting. He also sent an urgent joining message to the head of the Imperial Royal Family.

"Why are there no images of Meritu and Lux? Don't let anything happen... Competition is important, but don't get hurt!"

Master Guang returned to his seat at the Mount Everest School of Magic. The wand in his hand was carving mysterious patterns, and he was chanting silently. He was sending an urgent message to the outside world, informing them of the situation and asking for urgent help.

If the ancient tree's energy was simply too high, Minister Robert and Elder Guang wouldn't be so nervous. With just one command from Robert, the magic circle that summoned the ancient tree of life could weaken its energy, thereby reducing the difficulty of the entire ancient tree secret realm.

However, when the Golden-Winged Bat King displayed his peak strength at the late seventh level just now, Minister Robert immediately tried to weaken the energy level of the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.

However, he failed, and the Ministry of Magic actually lost control of the Ancient Tree of Life. The energy scale of the Ancient Tree of Life was now growing larger and larger, and gradually showed a trend of being out of control.

This is extremely terrifying. The Ancient Tree of Life is an existence that is superior to all living things. Only the core management of the Imperial Ministry of Magic knows the mysterious magic of summoning and using its energy.

But no matter who it is, no one can completely control the Ancient Tree of Life. After all, this is a sacred tree planted by the god Barrett himself. It is magical and mysterious. It not only breeds tremendous vitality, but also accumulates devastating destructive power.

"The energy level of the Ancient Life Tree is related to the people who enter the secret realm. Now that the level has risen, it can only mean... that a powerful creature has secretly entered the Ancient Tree Secret Realm!"

"What should we do then? Do we need to send the Dharma King into the ancient tree to inspect or rescue?"

"No... If another powerful person like this enters, the ancient tree's energy may fully revive. Not only will those children not be able to make it out alive, but the entire capital will be affected by its energy. That would be a disaster!"

"Let's observe for a while... The creature that illegally intruded has restrained its aura and suppressed its strength. It's obvious that it doesn't dare to cause trouble. We can first bless the elite students with the life support of the ancient tree's energy to avoid any accidents!"

"Indeed... the current energy level is still far below the critical point, so there's no danger of a major disaster. The children still have their protective amulets, so most likely it only looks dangerous, but their lives are not in danger."

"Are there any clues about the Light and Shadow Society's undercover agent?"

"From what we've observed so far, the Light and Shadow Society hasn't sent out any human corpse puppets, making identification extremely difficult. The first match was held on the outer Honor Plains, but even the patrolling Dharma Kings couldn't find this person."

"It's okay. No need to worry about the royal family's reputation anymore. The secret mission will be put on hold. The safety of the elite students from each academy is the top priority. I'll take care of the royal family!"

"This should have been done long ago. Constantly monitor the fluctuations in the ancient tree's energy. Once the control array responds, immediately end the competition and teleport all the students out. Forget about the issue of face!"

"Follow the instructions of the seniors!"

Before the emergency meeting, Minister Robert entered a secret room in the Ministry of Magic, reported the details to the senior management of the Ministry of Magic, and asked for instructions on the next course of action.

In the secret realm of the Ancient Tree of Life, Ledo and his companions were unaware of any changes. They were complaining openly and secretly that this year's Magic Conference was too abnormal, completely unaware that the energy of the ancient tree was gradually getting out of control.

Ricky from the Everest Magic Academy was currently being held in mid-air by an ancient tree's energy and protected. He had lost points as he had just been ambushed by Ledo, who had broken his scoring symbol and given Ledo his only point.

He was so angry that his face turned red, unable to move, and he stood there indignantly, "These insidious bandits from the Everest Magic Academy, we can't defeat them head-on, so we took advantage of the situation and launched a sneak attack!"

Just now, Ricky was locked up by the strange magic of the Golden Winged Bat King and could not move. Ledo arrived and saved him from physical pain. He thought Ledo would help him escape, and then the two of them would have a head-on confrontation.

As a result, after Ledo learned that the two seniors had disappeared after being chased by a group of light-winged bats, his expression became serious. He only said "Sorry!" and then without hesitation, he used the White Tiger Order to deliver a fatal blow.

Ricky couldn't move, so he naturally couldn't defend himself. Ledo easily broke the scoring symbol and lost points. He felt extremely aggrieved. Before his winged magic could take shape, it was dispelled and imprisoned by the energy of the ancient tree.

Ledo said, "You are protected by the Ancient Tree Order, so that thing can't touch you! It's just to protect you... See you again if we're lucky!" Then his figure became blurred and he slipped away, leaving Ricky disheveled in the wind.

Rickey's other two teammates had already been blocked from scoring and were unable to assist. They could only stare blankly, helpless and shocked.

Ricky was also stunned for a few seconds and then became furious. The man in front of him looked less than twenty years old and was the magician with the lowest level in the whole audience. It took less than five minutes from the time he appeared to the time he disappeared. His style of action was so decisive and without any delay.

He was actually defeated by such a weakling. He was so angry that his chest felt tight and he almost vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do and he could only stare blankly.

In fact, Ricky should be thankful. If Ledo knew that he had deliberately set a trap, ridiculed, mocked, and blinded his two teammates, then with Ledo's revengeful style, he would definitely send Ricky into the bloody mouth of the Golden Winged Bat King.

By this time, Ledo was already thousands of meters away. He sneezed several times and looked at his scoreboard, which showed two points. "Still scolding me? I can't help it... In troubled times, heroes emerge. It's easy to score!"

Just as Ledo was feeling that this point came too easily, he was suddenly startled. He continued to fly while turning his head to look back. He didn't see anything with his naked eyes for the time being, but he clearly sensed that there were pursuers behind him.

"It's strange... How did this Golden-Winged Bat King lock onto me? The Wind Step has completely erased my breath, and there is no mark on my body..." After Ledo scored, he made a feint, seemingly attacking, but in fact he flew away with his breath concealed.

However, even though Ledo's Wind Walking Technique was superb, he was still closely tracked by the awakened Golden Winged Bat King. The Wind Walking Step that had been very effective before and the ability to conceal his breath were now completely useless.
