Chapter 25 Gu Yuena and Muse's First Clash! Crimson Eyes Display Their Power!
Inside Shrek Academy,.Xiao Wu was busy collecting the dried herbs, while Yu Xiaogang instructed her, explaining the uses of each herb.
Xiao Wu was clearly getting annoyed. She stopped what she was doing, her thin lips parted slightly, and her words carried a hint of resentment: "Master, how long will this medicinal bath continue?"
Yu Xiaogang chuckled and confidently replied:."Don't worry, I distribute the herbs to each student in the most reasonable way."
"The medicinal bath is very effective, so it will continue until you start the next training session."
In Yu Xiaogang's training, the medicinal bath was an indispensable step, since Shrek Academy lacked a simulated training ground and other facilities.
As the number one theoretical master in the Soul Master world, he could only find another way, improving Flander's running training and using the medicinal bath for the students' exercise.
Not far away, Flander and Zhao Wuji also rushed back carrying Tang San and the other three.
"Brother!"
Xiao Wu cried out, quickly taking Tang San from him.
After setting Dai Mubai and the other two down, Zhao Wuji plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
Yu Xiaogang then stepped forward, glancing at the injuries on Flander and Zhao Wuji, and asked, "Flander, what happened? Did you get into a fight?"
Flander quickly replied, "It's a long story. Let's check the children's injuries first." Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang bent down and began examining Tang San and the others one by one.
"This is... Azure Scale Serpent venom?!" After examining them, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened suddenly, his face instantly darkening, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Azure Scale Serpent venom?"
Flander and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, neither of them reacting yet.
Flander frowned, unable to immediately grasp what Yu Xiaogang meant, and asked, "What kind of poison is that... is it serious?"
Yu Xiaogang calmed himself down and replied, "Fortunately, the children's poisoning isn't severe, so the antidote shouldn't be difficult. Luckily, the medicinal herbs we've been drying can be used."
"Let's carry the children inside first, and I'll detoxify them."
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Jiang Che didn't leave immediately but sat cross-legged, meditating on his soul power.
Although his soul power couldn't be cultivated and improved on its own, it was still good to consolidate his realm here.
At this moment, Muse was sitting on a tree branch outside the valley, her arms crossed over her chest, her wine-red hair fluttering in the wind.
She didn't open her eyes to look, yet she could perceive the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and even the slightest movement within the Sunset Forest.
As the only spirit-type soul master in the Holy Court, no one could hide from her Crimson Eye Martial Soul.
Suddenly, a strange, seven-colored soul power source entered the edge of her detection range, heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Muse abruptly opened her eyes, a shimmering light swirling in her crimson pupils. She activated her mental detection, muttering, "The Holy Lord was right, someone has indeed come."
She immediately used her mental detection, but could only detect the other party's soul power cultivation, which was similar to her own; she couldn't detect anything else.
"No matter who you are, don't even think about entering my Holy Court's territory!"
Muse coldly snorted, casually waving her hand to unleash her fourth soul skill—Illusory Light Shield!
Sealing the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Muse's figure flashed, locking onto the seven-colored light and rushing towards it.
The seven-colored light dissipated, and Gu Yuena hovered in mid-air, her gaze grave, murmuring, "Why can't I sense that Dragon King's soul power anymore? Could it be that he discovered me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ghostly Muse suddenly appeared before her.
Muse raised her hand, drew a long whip from her waist, and lashed it out, severing a strand of silver hair from Gu Yuena's cheek.
"A Title Douluo!"
Gu Yuena was startled, immediately activating her mental power to stare at Muse's crimson eyes, which glowed with purple light.
Her injuries had not yet healed, and now that she had arrived with a clone, she could only rely on her mental power to fight.
Muse suddenly felt dizzy, and even the range of her mental detection began to collapse.
As a mental-type Soul Master, she was no stranger to this kind of attack.
Muse immediately gathered her mental power, broke free from Gu Yuena's attack range, and created distance between them, questioning, "What is your purpose in trespassing into my Holy Court?"
Gu Yuena was equally puzzled; this young woman could actually raise her mental power to such a level.
Hearing Muse's words, she hesitated, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"The Holy Court?"
"When did this Soul Beast Forest become your territory?"
She had sensed many soul beasts living in this forest when she arrived.
When did humans become so bold as to occupy the territory of soul beasts?
"Hmph, if you won't talk, then die!"
Muse frowned, her patience exhausted.
Then, two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red! Nine soul rings appeared simultaneously, shining behind her.
Gu Yuena stared at Muse's blood-red soul ring, her eyes flashing with coldness, biting her red lips.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast was the rarest of all soul beasts. A soul beast cultivated for 100,000 years, surviving a great calamity—how formidable! Now, it had become someone else's soul ring and lost its life?
"Fine! Then die!"
Gu Yuena roared, raising her hand and unleashing the Elemental Tide.
The seven-colored particles surged like a tide, spreading outwards from their center.
The elemental particles were clearly displayed in Muse's crimson eyes, and she immediately located Gu Yuena's weakest point. Simultaneously, her sixth spirit ring glowed faintly.
A red crescent moon mark appeared between Muse's brows; she touched her brow with her fingertip, drawing out a spiritual spirit fire.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Crimson Moon Demonic Spirit Skill!"
She threw out the demonic spirit, and the moment it collided with the elemental tide, a muffled sound was heard, and smoke billowed.
As the smoke dissipated, Muse's spiritual detection could no longer find any trace of Gu Yuena, as if she had never existed.
"Who exactly is this woman..."
Muse wondered, when Jiang Che's voice came from behind her, "Muse, why did you run so far? Did something happen?"
She turned around and saw that Jiang Che's appearance and soul power fluctuations were normal, so she stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Holy Lord, a woman suddenly entered Sunset Forest just now. I exchanged a blow with her and then disappeared without a trace, as if she had never been there..."
Jiang Che was taken aback upon hearing this.
The only way to evade Muse's mental detection was probably a spatial soul skill. In his memory, apart from Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, no one else possessed such an ability.
Jiang Che pondered for a moment and then asked again, "What were the woman's characteristics?"
Muse replied, "Silver hair, purple eyes, and a seven-colored light when she used her soul skill."
"!?"
