Chapter 190: Four rings

“En? What’s going on?” Niu Yiwei stopped in his tracks, as he could sense something was off about the sound when that soul beast ran away. The sound had become soft and more concentrated, as if he had suddenly run far away.

“Stop!” He raised his hand, and his two partners stopped with him. “I think it ran quite far away. Let’s not pursue a desperate foe.”

To be able to endure till this stage in the qualifier, one must be an elite. Niu Yiwei was on his guard the moment he felt that something was wrong.

“Let’s go.” The uneasiness in Niu Yiwei’s heart grew stronger and stronger. He looked around and immediately pointed in the direction of the dense forest, ready to flee with his partners.

Just then, a figure flickered and a calm voice resounded, “Stay.”

A person’s figure appeared out of nowhere. They appeared to be around the same age; he was tall and looked ordinary. The moment he appeared, Niu Yiwei and his teammates’ pupils immediately constricted.

One, two, three, four! What did they see? Four purple Soul Rings around that person… He was a four-ring Soul Ancestor!

Four rings! Where most people having two rings at this age was already considered pretty good, there was actually a four ring Soul Master here. Niu Yiwen and his teammates were in disbelief. They were considered gifted already, but among the three people, only Niu Yiwei had three rings while the other two both possessed two rings. Seeing a four ring Soul Master appear before them all of a sudden was simply too shocking.

Not only that, many figures began emerging and gathering around, surrounding them in a semicircle. It was Ling Tian Academy’s three combined teams indeed. The two words ‘Ling Tian’ across their chests were very eye-catching and allowed Niu Yiwei’s team to know what sort of opponent they had encountered. However, not all nine of the people had gathered over, only a total of six.

The one with four glistening Soul Rings was naturally Bing Tianliang. When he appeared out of thin air and intercepted these three people, Niu Yiwei’s team was doomed to have a tragic ending.

Niu Yiwei’s heart had already sunk to the bottom of his heart. He knew exactly what this situation meant for them. Being surrounded by a group of people and with this Soul Master with four rings around, it was impossible for them to escape.

Niu Yiwei raised both hands. “Don’t attack first.”

Bing Tianliang looked at him coldly.

“We’re from Long Feng Soul Master Academy, and I am Niu Yiwei. I know what you guys are after but could we negotiate? If you’re willing to let us go, I am willing to exchange it with Soul coins. 1,000 Soul coins to buy a chance for us to survive, what do you guys think? I am willing to sign a Soul World contract and will hand it to you when we leave this place.”

Bing Tianliang chuckled after listening to him. They had encountered so many different situations when wiping out various teams. Some wanted to escape while others fought it out, some even wanted to split up and run. But this was the only team that said they wanted to use Soul coins to buy their lives.

1,000 Soul coins wasn’t a small sum for their age, as they were not allowed to enter the real Soul World yet, and they were in the outer academy area. In order to earn 1,000 Soul coins, this meant 1,000 victories in the training ground, which was not easy to achieve. Further, Soul coins could be used for many things in the Soul World. For example, if enough Soul coins were accumulated, it would be possible for one to enter the real Soul World in advance.

Hence, this was quite an attractive offer even to Bing Tianliang. 3,000 Soul coins would allow him to buy a ticket to enter the real Soul World. This rule was for those young and extraordinary Soul Masters. As for ordinary people or ordinary Soul Masters, they would have to wait till they were 18 years old before they were allowed.

“3,000 and I’ll consider,” Bing Tianliang said coldly.

Niu Yiwei smiled bitterly. “I would like that very much, but I need to have that amount. 1,000 is already the maximum we can give. Also, with our current points, we might not be able to get into the top ten.”

“But if we kill you,” Bing Tianliang said indifferently, “you will definitely not be in the top 10.”

Niu Yiwei’s expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, “1,500. We took a very long time to save this amount, and it is our entire class’ savings.”

Bing Tianliang’s expression suddenly changed, and he looked at them strangely. “Your entire class saved this up for you just so that you guys can buy your lives in the qualifier?”

Niu Yiwei coughed. “We don’t have a choice. Otherwise, we probably wouldn’t even have a chance of getting into the next round. 1,500 Soul coins, brother from Ling Tian Academy. You should know that at our age, this amount is very hard to save up. You just need to work a little harder, and with your cultivation and talent, you would be able to wander around the real Soul World in no time. In the real Soul World, everything can be brought to the real world.”

Bing Tianliang furrowed his brows, considering it hard. He had to say, the conditions that the other party laid out for him did move him. 1,500 Soul coins. It would indeed save him time substantially. He had already saved up over 800 Soul coins and just needed a little more.

A smile spread across Bing Tianliang’s face.

Seeing his smile, Niu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief. He knew well that after they entered the Star Dou Forest, their luck was not bad and they had accumulated quite a bit of points. As to whether or not they could get into the top ten, he still had some confidence.

Without a doubt, these people were possibly the strongest among all those who participated in this qualifier. As long as they could avoid them and be more careful for this final period of time, they could probably get out of here. When they got to Shrek Academy, all of the tests would depend on individuality. No one could say for sure whether he or she would get in or not. It all depended on one’s strength and if there were any characteristics that were valued.

However, just when Bing Tianliang was about to speak, there was an ear-piercing scream in the distance.

Hearing this scream, Bing Tianliang’s face changed. His smile disappeared, and he waved without hesitation. “Kill!”

He moved his body and the first purple Soul Ring was released. His body suddenly turned into nothingness, and he was right in front of Niu Yiwei in the next instant.

Niu Yiwei reacted swiftly. He hadn’t simply relied on tactfulness to survive till now; his own strength was also crucial. He moved his right hand and the three Soul Rings beneath his feet rose. At the same time, something black shot out of his hand and exploded in front of him.

“Bang!” There were shockwaves. A layer of light appeared around Niu Yiwei, and he took a few steps back due to the force from the explosion. Bing Tianliang’s hand also moved back due to the blast.

Niu Yiwei’s first and second Soul Rings shone at the same time. He lifted both hands and multiple of those same black things shot out, enveloping the entire area.

“Split up!” he bellowed.

Since the other party had already attacked, there was no chance of letting them off. As long as their team could escape successfully, they had a chance to keep their points.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to run, but he just wasn’t an agility-type Soul Master and couldn’t run fast. He could tell from Bing Tianliang’s speed just now that there was no way he could outrun him.

Furthermore, Niu Yiwen was also a Soul Master with a very rare Martial Soul. There were very little Soul Masters in the world that possessed the ability he was good at.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!” The tiny things flew quickly like Soul Guidance bombs and covered the entire area. The students from Ling Tian Academy who were charging towards them were actually blocked.
