Chapter 62: To put it bluntly, are you even worthy of comparing with him?

A moment later, the Xuanming Sect was no longer the bustling place it once was, having turned into a wasteland of ruins.

To prevent any survivors, Su Yun Tian even specifically had the Light Feather Douluo summon a rain of arrows from the heavens.

If it weren't for the trouble, the loaches would have to be split in two, ant nests would be poured with mercury, and even eggs would be shaken evenly for him.

The demonic path must use demonic methods!

As for absorbing the soul power from those corpses, that's unnecessary; after all, he's still human.

【Congratulations, host, you have successfully altered the storyline! Reward: 10,000 points, Fifth‑level Soul Guide Mentor inheritance.】

Hm? Soul Guide Mentor inheritance?

Su Yun Tian stared at the system‑granted reward and was slightly stunned.

To be honest, he had no particular feeling toward Soul Guide Devices and had never thought about studying such things, but since the system gave it, it wasn't bad.

After all, although Su Yun Tian wasn't interested in Soul Guide Devices, he had to admit they were definitely useful, even saying that the progress of the ages couldn't be separated from the development of Soul Guide Devices.

Even in combat, they provide great assistance.

With the system's reward, he could save the time needed for learning.

Thinking about it, a sudden surge of memory flooded his mind; after a slight sting, many formulas for Soul Guide Devices filled his thoughts.

Melee Soul Guide Devices, ranged Soul Guide Devices, fixed Soul Guide Cannons, etc. —any such device that has ever appeared on the continent, Su Yun Tian could now craft!

Moreover, as a former Blue Star inhabitant, he had seen many high‑tech products, which would greatly aid his future Soul Guide Device fabrication!

The Spirit Hall ruins.

"Senior Jin E, I'll return to Slake Academy now," Su Yun Tian said.

Jin E Douluo nodded, then seemed to recall something and said, "Young Master, is the Spirit Hall being rebuilt?"

Hearing that, Su Yun Tian was initially stunned, then after a moment of thought shook his head and said, "It's still a bit early. There are already many top forces on the continent, and our strength is still relatively weak. We'll consider it once we become stronger."

There are currently three ways to quickly boost strength.

First, resurrect a former titled Douluo, but whether you draw a resurrection card depends on luck.

Second, increase the years of the soul rings for those worshippers; he once asked the system, which clearly stated that the shop refreshes them with a certain probability, though the price is higher than buying a soul ring outright.

Adding ten thousand years costs two thousand points.

One hundred thousand years requires twenty thousand points.

Based on his current points, he could raise about seven 100,000‑year soul rings; it sounds like a lot, but in reality it's insufficient, because during the Peerless Tang Sect era, hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings weren't that rare.

Even without a 100,000‑year soul ring, one would be embarrassed to call oneself a titled Douluo.

People like Mu En and Du Busi even have three 100,000‑year soul rings!

The third method is to absorb celestial herbs!

During the Peerless Tang Sect era, the Ice‑Fire Dual‑Eye still existed, but Tang San had relegated it to the back garden; currently obtaining celestial herbs remains somewhat difficult.

Thinking of this, Su Yun Tian let out a sigh, "It really is a heavy and distant path!"

Soon, the destruction of the Xuanming Sect spread throughout the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire.

As for the Sun‑Moon Empire, it was still unclear.

Slake Academy, Outer Campus.

When he learned his sect had been annihilated with no survivors, Xu Sanshi fell to the ground with a thud, his legs feeling as if filled with lead, unable to stand.

His eyes turned blood‑red, filled with streaks of blood.

He was scared; he truly was scared.

It must be Bosabei! It must be him!

To wipe out a hidden sect in such a short time, Bosabei's background already exceeded his imagination.

He knew that since Bosabei had destroyed his sect and spared no one inside, he himself could not escape.

The only one who could save him now was Slake.

As long as Slake is willing to act, no matter how powerful those behind Bosabei are, they couldn't touch him!

He then hurried to his feet and, in a very disheveled manner, rushed into Yan Shaozhe's office.

Yan Shaozhe was startled by his soul‑lost appearance, but as the dean of Slake Academy's Outer Campus, he quickly recovered, furrowed his brows, looked displeased, and said:

"Xu Sanshi, what's wrong with you? Look at yourself now, what kind of dignity is this?"

However, Xu Sanshi ignored that, and with a bang he fell to his knees, clinging to Yan Shaozhe's thigh, sniffing and crying, shouting, "Dean Yan, please save me! My Xuanming Sect was definitely the work of Bosabei! He killed everyone in my sect, and surely won't spare me!"

A hint of darkness flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He naturally knew Bosabei was behind this and also knew there were definitely people behind Bosabei.

But the question was, could he expose it?

On one side stood Xu Sanshi and the Xuanming Sect; on the other, the heir of the Sea God Pavilion, who might even become a deity.

Weighing the lighter and heavier, Yan Shaozhe wasn't so foolish as to be unable to tell the difference!

To put it bluntly, are you even worthy of comparing with him?

Even if they annihilated your entire Xuanming Sect, what would that achieve?

He spoke earnestly, "Sanshi, I understand your feelings, but falsely accusing a fellow student like this isn't very right, is it?"

I know there's tension between you, but Bosabei is just a child; what power does he have to obliterate a sect as massive as Xuanming?

"Dean Yan, it has to be him! I know there are definitely people behind him!"

Xu Sanshi shouted urgently, "The academy is the only one I can rely on now!"

Yan Shaozhe's expression grew increasingly impatient, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "Xu Sanshi, that's enough! What exactly did Bosabei do to you? Why are you slandering him so?"

"Dean, I didn't slander him; it's definitely him!" Xu Sanshi shouted as if possessed, repeating over and over.

Gradually, Yan Shaozhe lost his patience, a cold smile curling at his mouth, "Xu Sanshi, since you want to know, fine, I'll tell you."

"Although I'm not entirely sure about the details, there's a high probability it was Bosabei's doing. Are you satisfied?"

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi, as if he had grasped a lifeline, immediately clutched Yan Shaozhe's thigh, his tone pleading and a touch harsh: "Dean Yan, you quickly send men to capture him back!"

He destroyed my clan, his methods were extremely cruel; what difference is there between such a person and an evil soul master!

I hope you can nullify his cultivation, to eliminate the harm for the people!

Yan Shaozhe's mouth curled with a hint of mockery, entirely unlike his usual dignified and amiable bearing, and his tone carried a trace of ridicule: "Xu Sanshi, sometimes you must recognize your own identity and status; on what grounds do you think the Academy would kill another genius a thousand times stronger than you just for you?"

Moreover, since you already know he has a background, how could Slake Academy risk this for you? To put it bluntly, are you even worthy?
