Chapter 127 Blade of Life
"I'll go." Tianmeng's spiritual form floated out. "I can set up a spiritual barrier to isolate the inside from the outside."
"Wait a minute." Electrox's figure also appeared. "I sense that what's attached to this carving knife isn't just resentment, but many imprisoned souls. Let me communicate with them first."
Tianmeng and Electrolux took turns setting up two strong mental barriers.
Zi Ji stood guard to the side, her soul power ready to build a third line of defense at any time. Moreover, Xuan Zi would refresh this floor with snacks.
Electrolux chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation in a low voice, and gentle spiritual fluctuations rippled across the carving knife.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "This knife is attached to the innocent souls of thirty-seven buyers from past generations, and the one who controls and torments them is the evil soul of the original owner, the evil soul master."
"I must first bring this culprit to justice, then help those poor souls find peace, and only then can I completely purify this blade."
He said no more, his eyes slightly closed, and true necromancy began to unfold.
There was no eerie or sinister atmosphere, only a vast and solemn aura of holiness emanating from his illusory figure.
The carving knife seemed to be stung, and suddenly burst forth with a monstrous black aura, transforming into a hideous demonic face that lunged at Electrox. But before it touched the pure and holy radiance, it melted away like ice and snow, crumbling inch by inch.
"No!... Your Excellency, spare my life!..." A mournful, desperate wail came from the carving knife, then vanished completely without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, thirty-seven faint and soft little orbs of light, like stars, slowly emerged from the blade.
They swayed gently, uttering murmurs of relief and gratitude: "Thank you..." Then, in the peaceful radiance cast by Electrolux's wave of his hand, the light clusters transformed into specks of light, rising and dissipating, returning to eternal tranquility.
Huo Yutong held her breath, her heart filled with unparalleled shock.
Is this the teacher's necromancy? It's not about controlling death, but about purification and redemption—powerful and sacred.
At this moment, the carving knife revealed its original blue material, but its luster was restrained, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
Brigitte stepped forward, picked up the carving knife without hesitation, and made a cut on her fair wrist.
Blood brimming with vitality flowed out and dripped onto the blade.
The carving knife seemed to be receiving timely rain after a long drought, greedily drawing in the blood.
As the blood seeped in, the blade emitted a warm and rich cyan light from the inside out, growing brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire room with vibrant life.
A vibrant sense of life permeates every corner like a spring breeze, making every breath feel refreshing and invigorating.
The wound on Brigitte's wrist healed instantly. She picked up the newly revitalized carving knife, now radiating the glow of life, and handed it to Huo Yutong.
"Now, it belongs to you."
"Thank you, sister!" Yu Tong excitedly accepted it, its skin warm to the touch, as if she were holding a piece of living, green spiritual wood.
"Place it close to your forehead, and use your mental energy to feel and accept it," Brigitte gently instructed.
Huo Yutong did as instructed. In an instant, a vast and pure torrent of life force surged into her spiritual sea from between her brows!
The spirits within the Sea of Spirits all let out a comfortable sigh.
The immense life force transformed from the metal of life not only washed over Huo Yutong's limbs and bones, but also stirred the dormant power of the souls.
The spiritual essence of Hyotei and Crescent Moon trembled simultaneously, and they voluntarily released part of their cultivation seals, feeding back their pure energy to Yu Tong.
Tianmeng quickly returned to her spiritual sea and successively broke the third and fourth spiritual seals she had set up.
"Xiaoyutong's spiritual sea must be expanded! Otherwise, we old guys, plus our future new partners, won't be able to fit in!" Tianmeng's voice was filled with laughter.
Nourished by the life force of the Life Gold, Huo Yutong's body was completely improved, making her able to withstand more soul power impacts.
Her soul power level broke through one after another, eventually stabilizing at level 45.
The carving knife had completely merged with her, transforming into a more vibrant and life-filled "eye of life".
Huo Yutong's spiritual sea had now truly become vast and boundless, with endless blue waves.
"Great news!" Tianmeng exclaimed excitedly.
……
The atmosphere at the strategy meeting for the second round of the tournament against Thousand Spirits Academy was more focused than usual.
The opponent's information was spread out on the long table. Wang Yan's fingertips traced the lines of data, his voice clear.
"Thousand Spirits Academy, One Soul King, Six Soul Sect. Their core tactics are very clear—'Four shields combined into one solid fortress, ice and fire dual control of the Thousand-Strike Spear'."
He looked up at the team members sitting around him. "We must break through this impenetrable defense."
"Captain Shen Ce, Martial Soul Thousand Strike Spear, Level 54 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King," Zi Ji interjected. "His third Soul Skill 'Lock-on Thrust' has the characteristics of guaranteed hit and tracking, and its range covers the entire field, posing a great threat."
The fifth soul skill is incredibly powerful, but it requires a long time to charge up and usually relies on opportunities created by controlling both ice and fire.
Our goal is to dismantle his tactical pivot before he can fully build up his strength.
Brigitte added details: "The opponent's support-type Soul Master's shield Soul can simultaneously provide defense enhancement, attack, speed increase and Soul Power amplification, with a considerable duration and range."
This means that a direct, forceful attack would be time-consuming and exhausting.
"Therefore, the key is to break the control chain, especially the pair of ice and fire dual-control soul masters."
Wang Yan summarized, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "They cooperated seamlessly and had defensive-type Soul Masters protecting them closely, making a direct attack difficult."
"Intelligence suggests that the Ice-Controlling Soul Master may have a Soul Bone inside him," Zi Ji's addition made everyone's expressions tighten.
Soul bones signify variables, meaning the opponent may unleash control beyond what is apparent.
Tactical arrangements were immediately made. In the reserve team, Xiao Xiao and Wu Feng were given a rest for this match.
Wang Yan's gaze finally settled on one person: "Ling Luochen, if the opponent unleashes their full power with the Ice Tornado, can you, with the amplification, seize control of it?"
A cold glint flashed in Ling Luochen's eyes as he affirmed, "If there's enough amplification, it's possible."
"Alright!" Wang Yan slammed his hand on the table. "Let's use this as a starting point to disrupt their rhythm!"
"The match begins!"
Before the referee had even finished speaking, the Thousand Spirits team had already started.
The two control-type Soul Masters' Soul Rings shone brightly, with ice-blue and crimson light shooting into the sky, quickly transforming into two intertwined and swirling raging tornadoes. The interplay of ice and fire created a terrifying aura, threatening to engulf the entire area in an instant.
Shrek Academy's side also moved with lightning speed. A rainbow dragon phantom appeared behind Gongyang Mo, and the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Tian's palm shimmered with light, its amplifying light almost simultaneously enveloping Ling Luochen.
A flash of inspiration appeared deep in Huo Yutong's eyes, and an invisible mental interference precisely pierced the opponent's ice-controlling soul master.
