Chapter 372: Sealing Technique and Sudden Changes

The atmosphere in the auditorium of the Soul Master Academy was tense and solemn. Qin Feng and his companions stood in the center of the auditorium. On the stone platform in front of them was the Nether Pearl. The pearl emitted a faint light, as if waiting for something. Vice Dean Feng Jian and several elders were surrounding them, making final preparations for the upcoming unsealing ceremony.

"You have gathered the power of light, neutrality, and darkness. Now it's time to unlock the seal of the Nether Pearl." Feng Jian said seriously, "However, I must remind you that this process is extremely dangerous. We cannot predict what will happen after the seal is unlocked."

Ye Li nodded, with a determined light in her eyes, "We understand, Vice President. No matter what the result is, we will bear the consequences."

Chu Tian seemed a little excited. He rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, let's get started! I can't wait!"

Zhang Meng patted Chu Tian on the shoulder, "Don't be so anxious, buddy, this is not a joke."

Wang Yue stepped forward and said softly, "We are ready. Please start, Vice President."

Feng Jian nodded, then turned to the elders and said, "Let's get started."

Several elders stood at the four corners of the stone platform, and Feng Jian stood in the center. They raised their hands together and chanted something. In an instant, the air in the entire auditorium began to vibrate, and runes of light power, neutral power, and dark power appeared around them.

Qin Feng and his companions also concentrated their minds and injected their strength into the runes. The Nether Pearl began to vibrate violently, and the light gradually increased, as if something was struggling inside to break the seal.

"Keep increasing your strength!" Feng Jian shouted loudly, his face covered with sweat.

"No problem!" Qin Feng responded, the Dragon Shadow Sword Soul in his body emitted a bright light, and powerful soul power was injected into the sealing technique.

Others also increased their strength. The healing light of the Light Deer, the cold air of the Frost Fox, the thunder power of the Storm Wolf, and the earth-shaking power of the Giant Rock Bear gathered together around the Nether Pearl, forming a barrier of interwoven light.

As the power continued to increase, the light of the Nether Pearl became stronger and stronger. Finally, a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky and hit the roof. In the beam of light, a figure seemed to gradually emerge.

"That is..." Wang Yue looked at the figure in the beam of light in surprise.

Feng Jian's expression became more serious, "Everyone be careful, the seal is about to be released!"

Suddenly, the beam exploded, and the entire auditorium was shaken by a powerful shock wave. Qin Feng and his companions were shaken back a few steps by the shock wave, but they quickly stabilized their bodies.

As the light gradually faded, a figure appeared in the air above the stone platform. It was a man in a black robe, with a pale face and a strange red light flashing in his eyes.

"Hahaha! Finally... I'm finally free!" The man laughed loudly towards the sky, his voice filled with ecstasy and resentment.

Qin Feng tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword and stared at the man in the air vigilantly, "Who are you? Why are you sealed in the Nether Pearl?"

The man looked down at Qin Feng, a sneer appeared on his lips, "I am the shadow soul master Ye Ming, the most powerful dark sorcerer ever. You stupid little brats actually helped me to unlock the seal."

Chu Tian asked in confusion, "The most powerful dark sorcerer? Then why were you sealed?"

Ye Ming snorted coldly, "Because they are afraid of me. Those hypocrites in the Temple of Light are afraid of my power, so they joined forces with other forces to seal me in this damn bead."

"Now that you've been unblocked, what are you going to do?" Ye Li asked coldly.

Ye Ming's eyes became even colder, "What? Of course, I want to take back everything that belongs to me and make all those who betrayed me pay the price!"

As he spoke, a strong dark energy burst out from his body, and the entire auditorium fell into chaos. The elders deployed a defensive formation, trying to resist Ye Ming's power.

Feng Jian shouted, "Quick! We must seal him again!"

Qin Feng reacted immediately and rushed towards Ye Ming with his companions. Their goal was clear - to delay time and give the elders a chance to re-cast the sealing technique.

"Storm Wolf, Thunder Attack!" Chu Tian shouted, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his hand and hit Ye Ming directly.

"Frost Fox, Frozen Claws!" Ye Li's Frost Fox followed closely behind, and a ray of cold air pounced towards Ye Ming.

However, Ye Ming easily dispelled their attacks with a wave of his hand and sneered, "You little brats, you don't understand the true power of darkness!"

Qin Feng quickly stepped forward and confronted Ye Ming. The Dragon Shadow Sword collided with Ye Ming's dark energy, making a deafening sound. The two of them confronted each other fiercely, and neither of them was willing to give in.

"You're pretty good, kid." Ye Ming sneered, "But you're far from qualified to challenge me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ming's figure suddenly disappeared, and then appeared behind Qin Feng, attacking him suddenly. Qin Feng felt a chill on his back and quickly dodged sideways, but Ye Ming's speed was too fast, and he was still hit hard and flew out.

"Qin Feng!" Wang Yue exclaimed and rushed forward immediately.

Qin Feng rolled on the ground for a few times and stood up with difficulty. "This guy is too strong. We have to be careful."

Feng Jian and the elders were still busy performing the sealing technique, but Ye Ming's power made it difficult for them to concentrate.

Ye Ming smiled coldly, "You can't seal me at all. Let me end this farce."

As he spoke, he raised the dark staff in his hand, and a strong dark energy rushed straight towards the elders.

"We can't let him succeed!" Ye Li shouted.

"Let's all come together!" Zhang Meng shouted, and the giant rock bear pounced forward and blocked Ye Ming's attack with its body.

Seeing this, Qin Feng quickly stood up and rejoined the battle. He knew he had to hold Ye Ming back, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain.

"Nine Styles of Dragon Shadow, Thunder Breaks Shadow!" Qin Feng unleashed his strongest attack, and the sword light pierced Ye Ming like lightning.

Ye Ming seemed a little surprised, but soon sneered and waved his staff, trying to block Qin Feng's attack. However, Qin Feng's sword energy actually penetrated his defense and hit his shoulder directly.

Ye Ming took a few steps back in pain, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "Damn it! You little brats are so annoying!"

While Ye Ming was being repelled, Feng Jian and the elders finally completed their sealing technique. A huge halo descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Ming.

"Sealing technique, activate!" Feng Jian shouted, and the aperture quickly tightened, beginning to block Ye Ming's actions.

Ye Ming found himself trapped and roared, "No! I will not be sealed again! I will not surrender again!"

He frantically released dark energy, trying to break free from the shackles of the seal. But Qin Feng and his companions did not give him any chance. They worked together to inject their own power into the seal aura, further strengthening the power of the seal.

"Hold on! He can't hold on any longer!" Feng Jian encouraged.

Finally, with everyone's full cooperation, the sealing light circle gradually became more dazzling. Ye Ming's struggle gradually became powerless, his figure gradually blurred, and was finally completely swallowed up by the sealing light circle.

"Did we succeed?" Chu Tian asked, panting.

The light circle gradually disappeared, and Ye Ming's figure also disappeared. The Nether Pearl returned to the stone platform, and the light became dim again.

Feng Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a temporary success. We have sealed him back into the bead."

Qin Feng and his companions collapsed on the ground, all of them gasping for breath. The battle just now almost exhausted their physical strength and energy.

Ye Li wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "This is really dangerous."

Wang Yue said softly, "Fortunately, we completed the seal in time."

Zhang Meng lay on the ground and laughed, "We did a great job again!"

Feng Jian nodded, "You have performed very well, but Ye Ming's seal is only temporary. We must find a more stable method as soon as possible to completely seal his power."

Qin Feng looked at the Netherworld Pearl with a frown on his face. "This pearl still hides too many secrets. It seems that our mission is far from over."

Feng Jian stood up and said to everyone, "You have completed an amazing task, but this is just the beginning. Next, we need to develop a more detailed plan to ensure that Ye Ming's power will no longer pose a threat to the world."

Qin Feng and his companions looked at each other. Although they were tired, their eyes were still full of determination and fighting spirit. They knew that this was only a small part of their adventure, and they still needed to move forward in the future.
