Chapter 232 - Blazing Demon Lions (2/2)
However, Wu Zhangkong was unaware that his disciple's target differed from his tremendously. Tang Wulin understood what breaking the second seal meant; his body's endurance toward spirit energy would increase to new heights. Inwardly, he wondered if he would then be able to absorb enough energy to evolve his spirit soul to the ten-thousand-year level. At the very least, he would be one step closer to reaching that outcome. Either way, he planned on fusing with a ten-thousand-year spirit soul for his fourth ring.
Under Wu Zhangkong's guidance, the students of cla.s.s zero now possessed a perspective that surpa.s.sed that of their peers. All four aimed to become battle armor masters, a goal so lofty that ordinary soul masters would fundamentally never consider.
The four proceeded toward the lions like cautious hunters. Tang Wulin discerned the best path for them, fine-tuning their direction with every step. They had to remain downwind of the lions in order to stay undetected. If the wind's direction changed all of a sudden, then they would be discovered by the Blazing Demon Lion king.
A pride of Blazing Demon Lions was worthy of being called one of the strongest existences in the elementary spirit ascension platform; during their approach, Tang Wulin's team did not encounter another soul beast.
“They're approximately one kilometer ahead of us. They seem to be resting and there are no signs of movement,” Gu Yue reported.
Tang Wulin stopped. “We'll wait here until night.”
In a flash, Xie Xie appeared high amidst a tree's branches, hidden from sight as he surveyed their surroundings.
On the other hand, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue sat down to rest while Tang Wulin stood guard. Everyone knew their roles and did not need to be ordered to act.
Time ticked by and the dark of night soon descended upon them.
Gu Yue was still meditating, a clear indication that the Blazing Demon Lions had yet to move.
Then her brows wrinkled suddenly and her eyes burst open as she turned to Tang Wulin.
“Hm?” Tang Wulin looked at her in inquiry.
Gu Yue said, “Another group of people has met the lions. A battle may soon break out.”
“Are they springing into action or acting pa.s.sively right now?” Tang Wulin asked hastily.
Gu Yue said, “They're currently pa.s.sive. Their encounter should be a coincidence. What are we going to do?”
“We're going in.” Light twinkled in Tang Wulin's eyes as he announced this.
No one questioned him; they all trusted his decision.
As Tang Wulin broke into a high-speed dash, the other three followed closely behind. The four moved in unison, suppressing their soul power fluctuations to remain as stealthy as possible. They did not call out their martial souls in fear of giving away their locations. Instead, they relied solely on their senses to travel through the wilderness.
A succession of lion roars rumbled soon after, a faint b.l.o.o.d.y aura now lingering in the air. Afterward, the shouts of humans resonated through the thicket, followed by ripples of soul power.
Tang Wulin did not charge in directly but sped to the side of the battlefield.
