Chapter 406: Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group, Annihilated!

Tang Wulin subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He now finally knows that Song Lao didn't even unleash half of his power in the fight with him.

If she had used the combination of the Seventh and Ninth Soul Techniques from the start, he might not have lasted ten seconds.

It's terrifying; this is the strength of the current strongest in the Sea God Pavilion. Watching her performance, the hint of complacency Tang Wulin had just felt began to fade away.

He still has a long way to go.

Song Lao's strength was overwhelmingly powerful for the remaining soul mentors; in the face of such a speed that could be called a dimensional‑reduction strike, all members of the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group quickly lost their lives, none escaping.

The teal giant eagle appeared before Tang Wulin and the others, reverting to its ancient old‑woman form, but now everyone's gaze toward it had changed.

Even though the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group had already been heavily damaged, she had still annihilated a powerful soul mentor group in such a short time; at least Jin Peng, the second‑in‑command of the Body Sect, didn't think he could do the same.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Is your speed faster than back then?"

The Body Sect and Shilake Academy have long been at odds; as the third‑rank figure on both sides, he had many clashes with Song Lao back then.

Back then he relied on his Silver‑grade Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, winning and losing against Song Lao; but after years of cat‑and‑mouse, Song Lao has reached level Soul Power, while he is still at level Soul Power.

If they fought again, his chance of winning would be very small.

Song Lao snorted coldly, giving him a withering look.

"Nonsense, as if I could regress. Wulin, what do we do next?"

Having just wiped out a Beast King‑level soul mentor group, she was now brimming with battle spirit.

But Tang Wulin squinted and said, "We should check the hostages' movements; once we're sure they've mostly escaped, we can leave."

Jing Feng frowned.

"Should we wait here longer? Ri Yue Di Guo will surely send more troops; the more we eliminate here, the fewer we'll face on future battlefields."

"Absolutely not. After the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group's defeat, Ri Yue Di Guo will surely send a Guard‑of‑the‑Nation‑level soul mentor group next." Tang Wulin shook his head firmly. "As a support force famed for speed, the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group's combat power isn't notable among Beast King soul mentor groups; it's arguably the weakest. The other Beast King groups have far stronger front‑line capabilities, and our easy victory was largely due to the Xie Jun group's carelessness. If other soul mentor groups arrive, they'll remember the Xie Jun case and won't underestimate us, and moreover—"

At that point, he turned his questioning gaze toward Huo Yutong, who instantly understood his meaning, nodded, and continued:

"If a Beast King soul mentor group comes, we should be relieved; but if the Ri Yue Royal Soul Mentor Group arrives, we must flee immediately."

Jin Peng asked curiously, "Is the Ri Yue Royal Soul Mentor Group you mentioned really that strong? We have four Super Douluo‑level beings here."

He didn't count Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong among the Super Douluo, but honestly, four Super Douluo on the continent already constitute a formidable force.

Yet Huo Yutong knew clearly: it wasn't enough.

She said seriously:

"Your Golden Body, as a potential future ally, I must warn you: if you encounter the Ri Yue Royal Soul Mentor Group on the battlefield and your side lacks ten Super Douluo‑level forces, you must never engage them."

Hearing that, Jin Peng's complexion instantly went rigid.

He forced a laugh, "Hahaha, Yutong, you're joking, right?"

Their entire Body Sect doesn't even have ten Super Douluo‑level strongmen.

Even with a Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, a Honored Douluo can upgrade to Super Douluo quickly, but there remains a gap in power compared to true Super Douluo.

The Ri Yue Royal Soul Mentor Group is just one soul mentor group; could it be stronger than the whole Body Sect? How could that be…

Jin Peng subconsciously tried to refute Huo Yutong's words, but her consistently formidable strength and her current serious expression made it hard for him to do so.

Tang Wulin also said seriously:

"Your Golden Crown, I know it's hard for you to accept Yutong's words at once, but trust her. Regarding knowledge of high‑end soul devices, few from the original three kingdoms surpass her; her words are far from baseless."

After all, excluding Shilake Academy, the three nations of Star Net Heavenly Soul Battle Spirit together can't even produce an eighth‑level soul mentor. Though Huo Yutong is only a seventh‑level soul mentor, she is Xuan Zhiwen's most prized disciple; her grasp of soul‑device theory far exceeds that of ordinary mentors of the same rank, so calling her the unrivaled one among the original three kingdoms isn't a stretch.

Jin Peng's expression shifted for a moment, then he sighed.

"Sigh, fine, but I have a request: I want to see the incoming enemy's strength with my own eyes before we leave. Rest assured, we won't strike, okay?"

He remained stubborn, unwilling to trust Huo Yutong's words.

Tang Wulin looked at Huo Yutong, who, after a moment of contemplation, said:

"Fine, but you must stay in the little world you came from; I'll let you see exactly what I see with my own eyes, okay?"

Jin Peng exhaled.

"No problem."

Honestly, he originally didn't expect anyone from Shilake to answer

it, and Huo Yutong's agreement was truly unexpected.

Tang Wulin, worried, took Huo Yutong's hand.

His voice rang in her heart.

Huo Yutong smiled faintly, reassuringly saying, "It's fine. Rather, I also want to see with my own eyes what the Ri Yue Di Guo's strongest combat power is like; such information isn't something you can just easily detect."

Huo Yutong smiled faintly, comforting, "It's fine; actually I also want to see the Ri Yue Di Guo's strongest force with my own eyes. Such intel isn't easily obtained."

Seeing Huo Yutong say that, Tang Wulin could only agree, and he reminded her:

Seeing Huo Yutong say that, Tang Wulin could only agree and reminded her:

"Be extra careful, and if it becomes impossible, release me; using a Soul Fusion Technique together, our chance of escaping is far greater than you alone."

"Alright, don't act like I'll be exposed; how things develop is still uncertain."

Huo Yutong inhaled deeply, stars flickering in her eyes.

"If we talk solely about concealment ability, across the whole continent there may be no one stronger than me."
