55: Show up, Sha Tie's recruitment

Chapter 55: Appearance, Sha Tie's Recruitment

Everyone's vision blurred as if a dark shadow flashed, followed by a deafening roar.

A figure appeared in the center of the forest. He was tall and straight, with a youthful face, and a hint of coldness in his expression.

The man and woman who had originally intended to approach Lin Fang were startled, both retreating a significant distance with panicked expressions, their gazes fixed on the person who had suddenly appeared.

"Soul Cang?!" The girl exclaimed in surprise after seeing his face clearly.

She had only mentioned him casually, never expecting Soul Cang to actually be nearby.

Didn't that mean he had heard everything she had just said?

"Don't be afraid," the boy turned to comfort her. "The area is full of people looking for Soul Cang. If he dares to show his face, he's just walking into a trap. He won't have time to care about us. We'll find a chance to slip away later."

A glimmer of light seemed to flash in the girl's eyes, clearly agreeing with the boy's words.

As long as she could leave here, she would find a place to hide. There was only one day left until the time was up. If she could hold on, she would be an Inner Courtyard student.

Even if Lin Fang and Soul Cang resented her, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

The girl understood the stakes, and the panic in her eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of excitement.

While the two were talking, the assessment personnel around them, holding torches, had already shifted their gaze to Soul Cang.

"Is that him?" Among the group, a man asked the person beside him, feeling that he didn't seem much different from other contestants. How could he have the guts to provoke Luo Fei's younger brother?

There were many people participating in the assessment. Except for Luo Fei's people who specifically remembered Soul Cang's appearance, others didn't have a deep impression of him.

The person observed him for a moment, then nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's him."

The man crossed his arms over his chest and smiled: "I didn't expect to actually run into him by chance. Soul Cang, interesting. If you ask me, you've been hiding for so many days, with only one day left to pass the assessment. Why would you show yourself now?"

He looked regretful, which made the people around him a little anxious, because Luo Fei had put out word that whoever helped him find Soul Cang would earn a favor from him.

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly take him down and hand him over to Luo Fei," someone urged.

"Move."

With a low shout, several people's Dou Qi surged, forming armor. They stomped their feet on the ground, their figures shooting out like arrows, rapidly approaching Soul Cang.

The man and woman noticed this, exchanged a look, then turned and rushed in the opposite direction. The girl looked back and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, felt a surge of excitement.

This is great, I actually escaped!

"You two deal with those two," the man with his arms crossed pointed his chin at the two figures sneaking away in the other direction and ordered expressionlessly.

Immediately, two people rushed out, caught up with the man and woman, and, regardless of their cries and pleas, directly shattered their jade talismans. A burst of light enveloped them and they vanished.

"Soul Cang, be careful!" Lin Fang saw Soul Cang standing still and quickly shouted a warning.

However, his warning had no effect.

Five figures had already arrived in front of Soul Cang. Each extended a hand, grabbing at his shoulders and arms. Someone even specifically targeted Soul Cang's hand, preventing him from shattering his jade talisman and leaving.

However, the next second, accompanied by a crisp, jade-like sound, the five people all froze.

"What?" The four people who had grabbed Soul Cang's arms and shoulders looked bewildered.

They had some confidence in their own strength, believing that with that grab, even if Soul Cang used Dou Qi armor to block, they would definitely be able to shatter it.

But not only did Soul Cang not display Dou Qi armor, he didn't even seem to have any defenses up.

And under these circumstances, they felt as if their fingers weren't grabbing a person's body at all, but rather extremely hard jade, unable to even make a small indentation.

"With this little strength, you dare to come looking for me? Who gave you the courage?" Soul Cang's gaze shifted, taking in the expressions on their faces.

Then, he twitched his shoulders. The four people felt a huge force surge out, completely unable to resist with their fingers, and instinctively let go and pulled back.

Before they could make their next move, the five people felt the world shake. When they realized the intense pain, their vision went black, and they fell into unconsciousness.

"So he does have some strength, no wonder he dared to threaten Luo Ling." After a moment of surprise, the leading man smiled and clapped his hands, then turned his head, "Send up the signal, let Luo Fei and Ke Yu come over, and let them have their fun with him."

As soon as Soul Cang made his move, the two people beside the man had already become wary, adopting defensive stances.

Now, hearing his words, they unhesitatingly shot two beams of light into the sky. After a booming explosion, the area seemed to light up as if it were daytime.

"Soul Cang, hurry and leave! Luo Fei and Ke Yu's strength can even rank on the Inner Courtyard's Strong Ranking List. We are no match for them!" Lin Fang's expression was grim.

"You go first. This has nothing to do with you." Soul Cang shook his head, ignoring him. He lowered his head, his gaze falling on his hands, clenching his fists.

When he landed just now, Soul Cang found that his physique seemed a bit different, as if it was excessively hard.

His first thought was of the scene when he devoured the Heavenly Flame, being tempered by the three Heavenly Flames, at which time he was burned like a colorful glazed artifact.

At that time, Soul Cang had a hard illusion about his physique, but he had never tested it.

Therefore, Soul Cang had not used Dou Qi just now, but instead used his physique to take the blows directly. Facts proved that his guess was correct.

With his current physical strength, even an ordinary Dou King probably couldn't shake him, Soul Cang secretly sighed.

Speaking of which, it seemed there was someone in Canaan Academy's Inner Courtyard whose situation was quite similar to his own.

Lin Fang tried to persuade him a few times, but seeing no effect, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

Among the three people opposite, one prepared to block, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Soul Cang.

"Now you are surrounded by me. No one can leave until I agree," Soul Cang said lightly.

"Interesting, it's been a long time since I've seen such an arrogant Outer Courtyard disciple." The young man with his arms crossed smiled, "My name is Sha Tie. If you can become an Inner Courtyard student, you can consider joining my team."

A Nine-Star Great Dou Shi… Soul Cang shook his head slightly, not speaking.

Canaan Academy has always had a saying about plundering Fire Energy, and various teams and organizations are a way for some people to band together for warmth and resist being robbed.

Soul Cang thought, I'm still waiting for others to come and rob me, how could I join a team?

Without waiting too long, roaring sounds continuously rang out from a distance, growing clearer and clearer. Finally, dozens of figures appeared in Soul Cang's line of sight, leaping and bounding.

The two rushing at the forefront were precisely Luo Fei and Ke Yu. Upon closer inspection, one could see that although Ke Yu was slightly behind Luo Fei by a step, his expression was clearly much more relaxed than Luo Fei's.

"Soul Cang, you really know how to hide. To be in this area, no wonder we couldn't find you!" Luo Fei was very surprised.

As soon as the signal was sent out, he had detected its location, which turned out to be the place where their people had initially appeared.

"Stop talking nonsense. Besides you, who else is there? Come at me all at once," Soul Cang hooked his finger.
