Chapter 268 Things are getting serious

Who is behind them? Could it be that Hong Feng did this? How to explain these young spirit masters? Apart from the academy, where else could they appear?

But then, Lu Yu suddenly reached out and slapped his forehead - hey, it was so stupid. In addition to the subordinates of the two empires, there are also so many young soul masters in various academies.

Then the place that can produce young soul masters is probably the various families... Could it be that these people are the young soul masters trained by the Wang family where Hong Feng is?

When Luo Shen saw Lu Yu suddenly reach out and slap her forehead hard, she frowned slightly, looked down at Lu Yu and said disapprovingly: "Why are you slapping your forehead so hard?"

"Don't worry about anything, just think about it slowly. If you really can't figure it out... isn't there someone over there who can help you?"

At this time, the people in the kitchen had already brought the dishes to Lu Yu and his friends. Because there were not many people at the moment and the waiter was taking orders for Niu Laoer and his friends, the helpers in the kitchen brought the dishes directly to Lu Yu and his friends.

Lu Yu thanked him, then added a large chopstick of food and put it in Luo Shen's bowl. He smiled and said to Luo Shen: "You are right, I was a little impatient, I will pay attention."

The waiter on the other side continued, "When I was serving them the food, I heard them mention something about a hundred thousand year old soul beast..."

"I was a little nervous at the time. After all, although I don't have any soul power, I know it in my heart."

"This hundred thousand year old soul beast is a rare treasure, and it is also very difficult to obtain and find. They are such a young group of soul masters."

"Now they are gathered together, talking about a hundred thousand year old spirit beast. Could it be that some large spirit master academy has made some discovery?"

"So, because I was curious, I took their words to heart and paid attention... and then I learned some shocking news."

At this point, Xiao Er's eyes were still full of excitement. It was obvious that he himself had not expected that the gossip he had heard by accident would be so explosive. He had become the first person to get the news...

"Later, I walked towards them intentionally or unintentionally, and finally understood what they were saying intermittently - it turned out that a 100,000-year-old soul beast really appeared."

"And this soul beast is now in the Sunset Forest not far from us. They came here just to find out what's going on."

"Although I was a little shocked by the news, I have heard about the hundred thousand year soul beast, so after the shock, I can accept it."

"But...but later, when I was carrying the dishes and serving them, I heard those people lowering their voices..."

At this point, the waiter's voice became extremely low, and everyone turned their heads to look in his direction. Everyone held their breath, not daring to speak loudly, for fear that they would miss something the waiter said.

“…They said that according to the elders’ judgment, the 100,000-year-old soul beast that appeared this time is an extinct divine beast.”

"Because all soul beasts with some cultivation have been hunted down by soul masters to make soul rings... The soul beasts that can successfully survive are obviously not ordinary."

"And the soul beast this time is the last divine beast on this continent. It not only possesses all the skills that an ordinary 100,000-year soul beast has."

"It has its own magical properties. It is said to be related to thunder and lightning... but they saw the villain passing by and stopped talking about it."

Zhao Qian was the first to be unable to suppress his inner shock: "What did you say? This mythical beast is actually related to thunder and lightning?"

"According to this statement, the special lightning and thunder in the sky yesterday must have been caused by this so-called divine beast."

The other people around also had complicated expressions and looked at each other. Niu Laoer calmed down at this time. He touched his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking.

The waiter on the other side continued, "I originally thought that these young spirit masters were just daydreaming."

"Or maybe their elders wanted to test them, so they made up the story about the divine beast and wanted them to take this training seriously."

"After all, a divine beast is something that I have never heard of before... so I just kept this news to myself as a joke."

"Who would have thought that after a few days, I began to discover that something was wrong in Soto City. Most of the people who came to eat recently were outsiders."

"And their purpose is very clear, which is to go into the Sunset Forest to find out if there is any secret treasure that has appeared in the world."

"Not only are more and more people coming, but hotel accommodation is also becoming increasingly scarce. This has never happened before."

"Even in this restaurant, it didn't take long for me to entertain the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and the Heaven Dou Empire..."

"They all came to our place for dinner. When I saw them, I knew that they came here for the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest."

"Looking at their serious expressions and cautious attitudes, I gradually began to realize that things were starting to get serious!"

While listening to the waiter's words, Lu Yu picked up some dishes for Luo Shen. Seeing Luo Shen eating with such relish, a smile appeared on Lu Yu's face.

In fact, Luo Shen was listening to their conversation while eating. She and Lu Yu already knew some of the information, but there were some that they didn't know in detail.

Now listening to what the waiter said, it was just the right time to help them check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps - it was obvious that someone was behind this, especially the group of young spirit masters they had met, there must be something wrong.

Luo Shen didn't know that Lu Yu had already obtained the inheritance of Kui Niu, nor did she know that Lu Yu also knew about Kui Niu's past, and even promised the other party to avenge him - Luo Shen just relied on her intuition to discover the unusualness.

Plus, she was very smart, and after a little thought, she figured out the problem. However, now was not a good time to chat, so she didn't say anything.

When they were about to go back and they were alone, she told Lu Yu her thoughts, while Lu Yu looked at the waiter on the other side, still waiting for him to continue sharing the next words.

These people are really anxious to make a hotel waiter notice the unusualness in the Sunset Forest... I don’t know whether these young spirit masters are from the Wang family.

Some of the diners nearby could not help asking, "Waiter, even if you have received these people for dinner, how can you be sure that the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest are divine beasts?"

"After all, although they came here, they are likely here for some rare treasures. This is also a very common thing, right?"

When the people around heard what he said, they all nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are right, this is very likely."

"Just a few people coming to eat doesn't prove anything. Waiter, what evidence do you have to prove that your information is absolutely accurate?"

The waiter nodded and said approvingly: "Master Soul Master, you are right, it is indeed possible!"

Although he said this, the waiter showed a smug look on his face. Looking at his expression, Lu Yu guessed in his heart that the waiter might have other evidence. Sure enough, the waiter said with a smug look on his lips.

"I have no other advantages, except that I am good at serving people and can see what the guests want in time."

“So when the elders from the Spirit Hall come to eat, they like to ask the younger ones to serve them.”

"Although they were wary of me and spoke carefully about certain important situations, I still heard a lot of information from them."

“For example, the news about the 100,000-year-old soul beast, which might be a divine beast, came from their mouths.”

"According to what they said, the Spirit Hall should have sent some elders to the Sunset Forest to investigate."

As soon as the waiter said this, everyone in the four seats fell silent. After all, the news came from the Spirit Hall. Although on the Douluo Continent, both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Empire were very powerful.

However, when it comes to the status in the hearts of soul masters, the Spirit Hall is naturally incomparable. So since this news came from the mouth of the elders of the Spirit Hall, its authenticity must be greatly enhanced.

Zhao Qian seemed a little bit unconvinced. He asked again, "Xiaoer, are you sure what you said is true? Are you sure it was said by the elder of the Spirit Hall himself?"

The waiter was suspected by Zhao Qin and suddenly showed an impatient expression on his face. He said seriously: "What I said is of course true. What's the point of me lying to the soul master?"

"Besides, I believe you saw the rolling thunder and lightning that lit up half the sky last night, right?"

"You can see without me telling you that the lightning last night is very different from what you've seen before, right?"

"Not only is it different from ordinary lightning, even if there are soul masters and soul beasts who can use lightning, I believe they have never encountered lightning like this, right?"

"In such a ridiculous situation, don't you realize that there is any difference? Doesn't this prove something?"

The soul master who was a little slow to react said in confusion, "Ha, what does this lightning have to do with soul beasts?"

This time, the waiter didn't need to explain. Lu Yu, who was standing by, showed a thoughtful look on his face and said carefully: "If my guess is correct, then I'm afraid the ability of this soul beast is related to lightning, right?"

"And Xiao Er has already said that the creature that is about to transform is not an ordinary soul beast, but a divine beast."

"So how can the lightning that a divine beast can unleash be ordinary?"

"It is also different from the lightning power that ordinary soul beasts can display."

"After all, the power of the lightning last night is not something that an ordinary soul beast can display."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the waiter nodded and praised, "This soul master is right. It is exactly what you said. Yesterday, the lightning flashed with purple light."

"I heard from the people in the Spirit Hall that this divine beast possesses the power of thunder and lightning. I heard that if you get it, you can not only get his soul power, but also his soul bones."

“In addition, it seems that it can also obtain the power of thunder belonging to the divine beast... But looking at its state last night, this divine beast is worthy of being a soul beast.”

"With the power of heavenly thunder rolling, I'm afraid no soul master can defeat him. I don't know how the final outcome of the battle will be. It's really exciting..."

Xiao Er's face was full of fantasy and expectation, which was obviously out of tune with Niu Lao Er and others beside him. Niu Lao Er's expression became more and more distorted and dark with every word Xiao Er said.

"Damn it, I didn't expect there to be such a hidden secret here. These aristocratic families really kept this information very secret!"

"They have basically monopolized all our soul master resources now."

"Led by the Spirit Hall and the two empires, the other seven great families are also constantly competing for resources."

"It's our turn now. Soul masters with no power or background can't even drink soup now."

The soul master in blue clothes who was sitting at the table next to Niu Laoer, heard what Niu Laoer said, "Brother, you must be careful with your words."

As he spoke, he looked around nervously, and then whispered to them, "You must be careful because there are ears on the other side of the wall. After all, the two empires and the Spirit Hall have their eyes and ears in every place."

"If their people really hear this, our lives will be difficult in the future."

"At the very least, your cultivation will come to an end, which is still considered good... At the worst, you never know when someone will do something shady to you, and from then on, you will never be able to leave this world..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but everyone understood what the meaning behind his words was, and everyone's faces turned a little ugly.

Lu Yu also agreed with Niu Laoer's statement in his heart. In fact, Niu Laoer was right. The current resources are controlled by various major forces, such as the Soul Master Academy.

However, the Soul Master Academy previously built by Liu Erlong was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the lack of financial support. But on the other hand, the situation of the Tiandou Royal Academy belonging to the Tiandou Empire was a complete reversal.

All the resources here are the best... This is because they have the financial support of the Tiandou Empire and the entire royal family, which allows them to reach such a height.

That’s why in every competition, the soul masters from Tiandou Royal Academy would look down upon those from other soul master academies.

Because their resources are not comparable to those of any soul master academy, and with the help of these resources, it is easy to improve soul power.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it may take others four to five years, or even eight to nine years to upgrade to a great soul master.
