Chapter 97: The Sea God Pavilion Meeting Again
Long Xiaoyao was quietly contemplating in his heart. No wonder Mu En and the others disregarded their reputation and took action to seize it. It seems that this thing is indeed extraordinary.
He was becoming more and more curious about the origin of this technique.
He speculated that, if nothing else, this was likely an important auction item from the Starry Auction House.
The Starry Auction House had always been mysterious and unfathomable. To present such an extraordinary technique as the closing auction item, there must be some hidden secrets behind it.
"This is a technique that surpasses the level of meditation techniques. It is the final auction item of this event."
"On our way here, Shrek Academy and the Body Sect did not want our Holy Spirit Sect to acquire this technique. They took action to block us when we were leaving the Starry Auction House."
"…"
Zhong Li Wu recounted everything that had happened without missing a word.
"Interesting, so many people have made a move. What is so special about this technique?" Ye Xishui immediately became intrigued, her eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.
The fact that Mu En from Shrek Academy, among others, disregarded their status to seize something from juniors showed how extraordinary this technique was.
It made her full of anticipation for it.
Zhong Li Wu's expression was excited as he introduced, "This technique is extremely powerful. It is a treasure tailor-made for our Holy Spirit Sect, and this item is the centerpiece of this auction."
"This technique is called 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' and its specific function is: it can devour any object with soul power."
He paused for a moment, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Based on my speculations, once this technique is cultivated to its peak, it can even devour soul masters' martial souls, soul power, soul rings, and so on."
"This complements the meditation techniques that our Holy Spirit Sect cultivates. If we can properly utilize this technique, the Holy Spirit Sect will definitely have the opportunity to unify the entire Douluo Continent in the future."
A trace of ambition appeared in Zhong Li Wu's eyes, as if he could already see the glorious future where the Holy Spirit Sect would dominate the Douluo Continent.
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were equally shocked upon hearing this news.
As the top experts of the Holy Spirit Sect, they naturally knew some methods of stripping a soul master's martial soul, but they couldn't absorb and cultivate the stripped martial souls and soul power.
However, they hadn't expected that this 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' could actually convert soul rings, martial souls, and the like into soul power for cultivation.
Such a miraculous method left even the experienced pair feeling astonished.
This is simply overpowered!
But thinking that it was the centerpiece item from the Starry Auction House, it seemed somewhat reasonable.
After some investigation over the past period, they found that the Starry Auction House seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, shrouded in mystery.
The Holy Spirit Sect's spies were spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent, yet they had never found any useful information about the Starry Auction House.
This made them suspect that the Starry Auction House might not be a local force of the Douluo Continent, and there could be even greater secrets hidden behind it.
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao took the technique and carefully sensed it, their faces showing signs of shock.
The mysterious power contained in the technique circulated through their bodies, allowing them to truly feel its strength and extraordinariness.
Ye Xishui's eyes flashed with an expression of surprise as she softly said, "I didn't expect there to be such a powerful technique in this world. This is practically tailor-made for our Holy Spirit Sect. With the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' the day our Holy Spirit Sect rises is not far away."
Long Xiaoyao also nodded slightly, his expression solemn as he said, "This technique is indeed powerful. If successfully cultivated, the strength of the Holy Spirit Sect will greatly increase. However, cultivating this technique may not be easy, so we must proceed with caution."
"By the way, the Starry Auction House did mention the side effects of this technique. If too much of the wrong thing is devoured, the consequences in the future could be severe."
Zhong Li Wu then mentioned the side effects of the technique.
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao nodded slightly after hearing this.
They understood that if this technique didn't have any side effects, it would be nearly impossible to imagine.
It was too perfect, and that made it feel unrealistic.
Given their current strength, they understood the principle that everything in the world must have balance.
As long as this technique is used wisely and cultivated gradually, the strength of the Holy Spirit Sect could definitely see a massive increase in a short period.
"You select a few loyal evil soul masters and have them try cultivating this technique."
Ye Xishui slowly made arrangements, her eyes filled with a trace of caution.
They would first conduct a small experiment, as not all evil soul masters were loyal to the Holy Spirit Sect.
To prevent this technique from leaking, only absolutely loyal evil soul masters could be allowed to cultivate it.
"Understood."
Zhong Li Wu nodded and quickly left, beginning to make preparations.
He knew the importance of this matter and didn't dare slack off. He was already starting to consider which evil soul masters to select for this secret experiment.
...
In Shrek Academy, the atmosphere in the Sea God Pavilion meeting room was heavy as lead.
Mu Lao sat in the main seat with a serious expression, his eyes filled with fatigue and reluctance.
The others sat around him, their faces dark and the atmosphere oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Mu Lao slowly spoke, "Letting Zhong Li Wu take the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' and escape was our mistake. However, we cannot keep dwelling in the shadow of failure."
"Now, we still have a soul ring age-up card in our hands. This is the key to enhancing our strength. What do you all think, who should we use it on?"
His voice was low and hoarse, as though every word carried a heavy burden.
Everyone understood that the current situation was beyond their control. Trying to retrieve the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' was easier said than done.
Not to mention that they had no clue where the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters was located, and furthermore, the Holy Spirit Sect now had two Limit Douluo-level experts stationed there.
To act recklessly would lead to failure, and they would lose many strong warriors.
Therefore, they could only temporarily give up on retrieving the evil technique.
Currently, they needed to use the soul ring age-up card from the auction to strengthen Shrek Academy in preparation for future confrontations with the Holy Spirit Sect.
Xuan Lao frowned, thinking for a moment before speaking, "Mu Lao, I believe this card should be given to a promising young disciple. They are the future of the academy. If they can get the help of this card, they might grow quickly and become more talented for the academy's future."
"Given time, they will become the backbone of the academy, holding up Shrek Academy's future."
On the side, Yan Shaozhe shook his head and firmly said, "Xuan Lao, I disagree with your view. The current situation is dire. After the Holy Spirit Sect gets the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' their strength will definitely grow, and they could attack us at any time."
"What we need is to immediately increase our strength to face the present threat. I believe this card should go to someone with greater strength so that we can boost our combat power quickly and resist the Holy Spirit Sect's aggression."
Everyone began to voice their opinions, and a heated debate ensued.
Some supported Xuan Lao's viewpoint, believing that cultivating young talents was essential for the academy's long-term development.
Others agreed with Yan Shaozhe, feeling that in the current dangerous situation, enhancing the strength of the existing strong members was the top priority.
