Chapter 37 Accident
As dusk deepened in the sunset forest, the crimson light filtered through the gaps in the ancient trees, casting dappled shadows on the decaying leaves.
Lin Hao stopped and stroked the blue silver grass at his feet.
The grass beneath his feet trembled slightly, its roots digging deeper into the ground with increasing urgency, filled with unbearable fear.
"What are you dawdling about for?"
Yu Tianheng's voice carried his usual arrogance, and the pale purple lightning of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul flickered around him.
"It's just a dilapidated forest. With my top-tier beast spirit here, how could anything possibly happen?"
He glanced sideways at Lin Hao, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Hey, I'm talking to you. Lin Hao, what are you wasting your time touching that lousy grass for?"
Once inside the forest, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul was well-suited for clearing the way, and Yu Tianheng was responsible for the arduous task of doing so.
Graphite echoed in a deep, booming voice, his burly frame sinking into the decaying leaves with every step, "That's right, Lin Hao, don't waste everyone's time. We're here to hunt for spirit rings, not to play with you and the grass."
His gaze swept over Lin Hao, full of impatience.
He harbored a deep-seated prejudice against Lin Hao. This wasn't just because his brother, Shi Mo, had been pushed into the Heavenly Dou Second Team by Lin Hao.
Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial spirit.
This is a consensus among all Soul Masters across the continent.
That day, Lin Hao won against Yu Tianheng by cheating.
Everyone could see that Yu Tianheng lost because he underestimated his opponent.
If they were to have another match, Shi Mo believed that Lin Hao would definitely lose.
Royal Fighting Team 1 is a seeded team, a team that directly advances to the finals with the added honor of being a team.
Shi Mo and Yu Tianheng both felt that Lin Hao was not qualified to join the Royal Fighting Team One, especially as the team's captain. They felt he was even less worthy of being called "boss" by them.
Blue Silver Grass is so superfluous, it's not even good enough to be a decoration in a team.
Lin Hao stood up and called out, "Everyone stop! Something's wrong!"
Qin Ming was one of the few people in the group, besides Dugu Yan, who trusted Lin Hao. He raised his hand, signaling the group to stop, walked up to Lin Hao, and asked, "Lin Hao, what have you noticed?"
"I can't explain it." Lin Hao looked down at the Blue Silver Grass at his feet. "It always gives me an extremely uneasy feeling, as if something terrible is about to happen."
The Blue Silver Grass cannot speak; this is a feeling that the Blue Silver Grass conveys to Lin Hao.
"Something terrible?" Yu Fengxin looked at Yu Tianheng with equal sarcasm and said, "What terrible thing? A weed can convey dangerous information to you? Are you out of your mind, talking nonsense! Don't tell me you have a Martial Soul Domain!"
Do not believe.
Yu Feng did not believe it.
Let's not even talk about the fact that it's broad daylight and cloudless now, and nothing terrible is going to happen.
Yu Feng thought Lin Hao was talking nonsense just because Lin Hao said that the weeds on the ground could transmit information to him.
Plant-type Soul Masters can sense "emotional" fluctuations from their own kind of Soul Beasts.
There are only two situations in which a plant-type Soul Master can possess the above supernatural abilities.
One must either reach the Soul Saint realm in cultivation and possess the seventh soul ring and the Martial Soul True Body.
Lin Hao clearly did not possess the cultivation level of a Soul Saint.
Either possess a Martial Soul Domain.
Yu Feng had never heard of Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul, and that there were soul masters who had awakened the martial soul domain.
Yu Feng didn't believe it, and neither did his teammates.
"The troops shall rest in place. Increase vigilance."
Of the eight people in the group, Qin Ming trusted Lin Hao the most.
For safety reasons, Qin Ming ordered his team to rest on the spot and observe the unusual changes in their surroundings.
Lin Hao sat cross-legged on the ground, releasing his spiritual power to envelop the surrounding area.
Suddenly, Lin Hao opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Oh no, it's a beast tide!"
The wind chime bird, its pale blue wings fluttering in the breeze, hovered in mid-air and scoffed, "Blue Silver Grass scouting for a beast tide? Perhaps it's been blown away by the wind? I just flew around and didn't even see a single thousand-year-old soul beast. Where did this beast tide come from?"
Oslo chimed in dismissively, "A piece of trash is a piece of trash, always resorting to these useless gimmicks to try and get attention."
Yu Tianheng was very impatient. "If we delay any longer and we can't find a suitable soul beast before dark, who will be responsible? Lin Hao, if you're scared, then stay in the back and don't drag us down."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but speak up: "What if what Lin Hao said is true? Yu Feng, could you do the extra work and go investigate in the sky?"
"I'm not going, you go if you want!" Yu Feng glanced at Lin Hao out of the corner of his eye.
Of the eight people present, all except Lin Hao and Qin Ming came from aristocratic families.
Honestly, they genuinely looked down on Lin Hao, whose martial soul was Blue Silver Grass.
Only Ye Lingling stood at the back of the line.
She remained silent, but when her indifferent eyes swept over Lin Hao, there was no warmth whatsoever, as if the person before her was no different from the weeds by the roadside.
By nature, Ye Lingling looked at everyone the same way, without distinction between strangers and acquaintances.
"Teacher Qin Ming, all the spirit beasts in the entire forest are swarming this way. There are so many of them, and they're moving so fast they're blotting out the sky. We'd better form a defensive formation now." Lin Hao bypassed his teammates and discussed the situation directly with Qin Ming.
"Enough!" Yu Tianheng snapped impatiently, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll chop down your Blue Silver Grass!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than dark clouds rolled in like ocean waves.
The weather, which had just been clear and sunny, turned into the dead of night in just a few breaths.
The sudden change caused Yu Tianheng and the others on the ground to change their expressions drastically, leaving them at a loss.
Suddenly, a dull tremor shook the ground, like a stampede of a thousand horses; even the decaying leaves on the ground trembled.
Qin Ming, who had been observing his surroundings, suddenly frowned and unleashed his Fiery Azure Wolf Martial Soul. Six Soul Rings lit up around him, and the pressure of a Soul Emperor instantly enveloped the entire area. His voice was grave, "Quick! Everyone on high alert! It's a beast tide! There are at least tens of thousands of Soul Beasts, including some that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old!"
These words struck the ranks like a thunderbolt.
Yu Tianheng's smile had long since frozen on his face.
Graphite's mouth was wide enough to fit a fist.
The wings that soared through the wind forced the ground to stand frozen in place.
Osloya was speechless, staring blankly at Lin Hao. "He really understands the language of grass?!"
The people who had just been mocking Lin Hao were now pale and embarrassed, their faces turning ashen.
"What are you standing there for? Now is not the time to slap someone in the face. Act quickly and immediately construct a defensive formation!"
Qin Ming's words struck the group like a whip, and no one dared to utter a sound. They quickly followed his instructions.
Graphite immediately rushed to the front, unleashing the full power of his Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul, with its thick tortoise shell, 1.5 meters in diameter, blocking the front of the group.
"First Soul Skill: Mystic Armor Reinforcement!"
The tortoise shell has a pale yellowish-brown sheen, and the shell patterns become clearer and more prominent. When you touch the shell with both hands, you can feel a significant increase in hardness.
The heavy tortoise shell, which was 1.5 meters in diameter, suddenly became 3 meters. The diameter doubled.
"Everyone hide behind me! I'll carry it!"
Yu Tianheng stood beside him, the lightning of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex gathering in his fist, ready to strike.
"A soul beast that has broken through the defenses, I'll cut it down!"
Three spirit rings appeared beneath Osro's feet, two yellow and one purple. He quietly appeared beside Yu Tianheng and said, "Boss, I'm here to lend you a hand!"
"Then, I'll take charge of the air!"
Yu Feng, gathering his strength, stood behind Oslo and Yu Tianheng, ready to slay any stray soul beasts that leaped up, broke through the graphite's defenses, and entered the rear ranks.
Ye Lingling stood silently behind Yu Feng without saying a word. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, and a pink begonia flower appeared in her hands amidst a flash of white light.
Dugu Yan, possessed by the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, was responsible for the rear of the team.
Qin Ming stood beside Ye Lingling, ready to help her at any moment.
From any perspective, this is a very reasonable defensive formation suitable for dealing with emergencies.
Lin Hao, however, seemed to have been forgotten by the team.
