Chapter 158: True Identity?

A brief remark forced Tie Li to think further; Yue Yin's identity must be more than just the city lord of Xinyue City.

Yue Yin brusquely summoned two disciples and left the West Courtyard, but his glance at Tie Li before departing made Tie Li shiver.

"Boss, this won't be a problem, right?" Gu Qi asked.

He'd only been at Cheng Zhu Fu a few days before he beat up three disciples.

"Wait for Zhao Laoshi to return and tell them."

"Got it."

By evening, Zhao Laoshi finally brought the Second Team members back to the West Courtyard; their expressions were grim, likely because they took a heavy loss against Xin Yue Sect.

"Hey, what happened to you?" Gu Qi stepped forward and asked.

"Their martial souls are identical, allowing them to perform a multi‑person unified fusion technique; even with our numbers, we're no match," Tuo Yu said with a stiff face.

Five Xin Yue Sect disciples sharing the same martial soul executed the multi‑person fusion technique, unleashing soul power at Soul King level, nearing Six‑ring Soul Emperor.

The seven of them struck together, completely outmatching the Xin Yue Sect disciples.

To know, those five Xin Yue Sect disciples were only at Soul Power Level 35, and one of them didn't even have an optimal Soul Ring Configuration.

Besides the multi‑person fusion, the coordination among Xin Yue Sect disciples far surpassed that of the Second Team members.

The mutual coordination between soul skills often yields a result greater than the sum of its parts.

After a full day of contests, the Second Team had not won a single match.

Naturally, the Xin Yue Sect disciples they faced were considerably older.

Tie Li, not seeing Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin, couldn't help but ask Zhao Tianhe.

"Zhao Laoshi, where are the Second Seat and the Third Seat?"

"The two Committee Members have temporarily left on business; I don't know where they went," Zhao Tianhe said.

Tie Li thought for a moment, then recounted what had happened today.

But he omitted the lingering evil aura on Yue Yin's two disciples and the matter of the Thunder Dragon Six Tones.

"That's troublesome; once the two Committee Members return, I'll inform them."

As for the Second Team trainees, after a day of defeat, each wore a rather despondent expression.

Tomorrow they definitely can't be taken to Xin Yue Sect, or their mindset will break.

Zhao Tianhe plans to take them to the Grand Soul Battle Arena of Xin Yue Sect to register a seven‑person Team Soul Battle.

…

"Speak, during this period, what people have you encountered?" Yue Yin looked down at his two disciples.

With close contact, Yue Yin immediately detected the lingering evil aura on them.

After Yue Yin's examination, it wasn't their soul power; it seemed to be accidental contamination from a Fallen Soul Master.

What made Yue Yin frown was that it wasn't just the Fallen Soul Master's evil soul power; it also contained the ferocity of a Soul Beast.

The two, seeing the teacher's grim expression, dared not conceal anything and hurriedly recounted the whole period.

"Wait, you often heard Soul Beast wails inside Bai Wu Gu, so you entered to investigate?"

In their words, Yue Yin quickly sensed something amiss.

Bai Wu Gu is perennially shrouded in thick fog; a normal Soul Master entering must leave markers along the way or carry special devices, otherwise it's easy to lose direction inside.

Even the Soul Beasts of Bai Wu Gu possess a clear sense of direction.

Consequently, the number of Soul Beasts in Bai Wu Gu is sparse.

The Soul Beast's wail may indicate suffering before death, but its frequent occurrence is clearly abnormal.

"Yes, but after we entered Bai Wu Gu, we found nothing," the tall‑slim Soul Master said.

Perhaps it wasn't that nothing was found, but that they discovered something and the other side didn't act on them.

Yue Yin thought silently to himself, forming an idea.

He would report this to the Spirit Hall, letting them handle it; the Spirit Hall is very proactive regarding Fallen Soul Masters.

Yue Yin waved his hand, ordering them to withdraw and to stay within Cheng Zhu Fu during this period, avoiding any outings.

After they left, Yue Yin couldn't help murmuring to himself.

"The Thunder Dragon lineage still produced an escaped inheritance disciple, while the Wind Dragon lineage can't even find a single core disciple;

the Thunder Dragon Six Tones can still be passed down, but what about the Wind God Decision?"

He joined the Tian Dou Royal Academy, presumably for Leichi; those old guys must have mentioned Leichi's secret to him.

Yue Yin, feeling a slight headache, rubbed his temples; he secretly dispatched many agents to search for the escaped Fenglei Sect disciples.

He discovered eleven core disciples of the Thunder Dragon lineage, but found no disciples of the Wind Dragon lineage, not even a single inner‑gate disciple.

…

The next day, Tie Li intended to follow the group to the Grand Soul Battle Arena to watch their Team Soul Battle, but Yue Yin forcibly took him away.

"Those old guys really didn't pass you the Thunder Dragon Six Tones?" Yue Yin couldn't help asking again.

"I'm not an inheritance disciple of the Fenglei Sect, how could I have the Thunder Dragon Six Tones?"

"No."

"But I've practiced the Lei Long Meditation Method and bear the Fenglei Sect's inheritance mark; even if I claim I'm not an inheritance disciple, no one would believe me."

"Release your martial soul and attack me with full force; let me see your martial soul first."

Yue Yin, without further words, was the first to release his martial soul and Soul Ring.

Two yellow, two purple, three black!

The martial soul is a rare Moon‑Shadow Beast, resembling a white tiger but bearing twin horns; it lacks the tiger's dominance, adding a touch of agility.

The instant Yue Yin completed the martial soul's possession, everything around seemed to plunge into night, and he was the lone bright moon in the sky.

Tie Li didn't hesitate and unleashed the Thunder Hammer.

Yue Yin's gaze held a hint of nostalgia; the Zhen Long Chui Spirit appears only twice in the records of the Fenglei Sect.

The top‑tier weapon martial soul, possessing a Thunder and Lightning Attribute virtually at the Ultimate level, surpasses the Fenglei Sect's strongest inherited martial soul, the Yin Lei Mo Long Martial Soul, in martial soul quality.

The Six Tones of Thunder Dragon are a battle technique crafted by the Fenglei Sect's successive ancestors over the ages for the Yin Lei Mo Long Martial Soul.

Even a Soul Master with an ordinary Thunder Attribute martial soul can use it, but cannot match a Soul Master who possesses the Yin Lei Mo Long Martial Soul.

The demand for Thunder Attribute is extremely high, targeting the frequency unique to Thunder Attribute and converting it into an attack mode.

The Zhen Long Chui aligns with the "Zhen" tone of the Six Tones of Thunder Dragon to an extraordinary degree, even exceeding the compatibility of the Yinlei Magic Dragon.

Tie Li formed a rough guess about Yue Yin's identity; since that is so, he saw no need to hold back his strength.

The Fifth Soul Ring flared, the surrounding Black Thunder stepping into a new tier; this all‑destroying Ultimate Attribute compelled one's stare.

"Ultimate Lightning Attribute?" Yue Yin's pupils narrowed.

A soul skill that can raise an attribute to its ultimate is almost a top‑grade soul skill!
