Chapter 8 Seeking Justice
Unexpectedly, Sisi, who was hiding in the woods, was discovered.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Tang San and Xiao Wu saw a voluptuous and tall white figure slowly walk out.
"It really was you!"
Upon seeing the hidden dart with her own eyes, Sisi finally believed that this seemingly harmless little boy was actually the murderer who killed Zhou Yu's father.
"Brother, what is she saying?"
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a puzzled expression, not understanding what was going on.
Tang San, however, said with a cold expression, "She's from the Spirit Hall. I don't understand what she's talking about either."
Upon hearing the words "Spirit Hall," Xiao Wu was immediately filled with rage. Her mother was a 100,000-year-old soul beast who had been hunted down by the Spirit Hall.
This woman is also from the Spirit Hall, and she clearly intends to harm her newly recognized brother.
Xiao Wu, with her fiery temper, couldn't hold back and struck first.
As a Great Soul Master, Sisi was naturally not afraid of two brats. She unleashed her Martial Soul and released her Soul Rings, determined to capture Tang San and bring him back to the Spirit Hall to seek justice for Zhou Yu.
……
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall's Junior Soul Master Academy.
Through a year of unremitting efforts, Zhou Yu's soul power leaped to level nineteen, and he won the top spot with outstanding results.
He only needs to be twelve years old to be eligible to advance to the intermediate Soul Master Academy.
Taking advantage of the holiday, he decided to go back to Nottingham.
Although his parents are gone, there is still someone he often thinks about.
A month later, Zhou Yu returned to the place where he was born.
He couldn't wait to run towards the Spirit Hall, but as soon as he reached the entrance, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Stop! Kid, this is the Spirit Hall, you can't just wander in here."
The two gatekeepers both looked to be around twenty years old, and their soul power fluctuations were not obvious, suggesting that they had not even reached the level of a Soul Master.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said politely, "Brothers, I am a Soul Master from the Spirit Hall, and this is my badge!"
After speaking, he took out a badge specially made by the Spirit Hall. The badge was round, with his name engraved on the back and two intersecting thorns on the front, symbolizing the level of a Soul Master.
The two guards couldn't help but show envy in their eyes, and quickly said, "I see, then you can go in."
As Zhou Yu stepped into the magnificent hall of the Spirit Hall, he immediately saw a familiar figure—the great spirit master who had a special affection for Sisi—Su Yuntao.
Just a year later, when they met again, he seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes, and his face revealed an indescribable haggardness and loneliness.
"Did Teacher Sisi reject him?"
The thought flashed through Zhou Yu's mind, and a strange sense of schadenfreude arose in his heart.
He strode forward and called out, "Master Su Yuntao."
Su Yuntao hadn't even noticed anyone approaching. Only when he heard the voice did he slowly raise his head, glance at them, and ask, "Who are you?"
Seeing the other person's questioning look, Zhou Yu quickly explained, "My name is Zhou Yu, and I'm Teacher Sisi's student. We met once last year."
"Sizzle..."
The name rang out softly, as if touching a chord deep within Su Yuntao's heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"So it was you!"
"Did you... come back specifically to pay your respects to her?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu felt as if he had been struck by an electric current, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
He wondered if he had misheard and hurriedly asked, "What...what did you just say?"
Seeing Zhou Yu's shocked expression, Su Yuntao realized that the other party was unaware of the situation.
He sighed heavily, his voice trembling with uncontrollable sorrow, and said painfully, "Sisi...she was murdered!"
This sudden bad news made Zhou Yu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He simply couldn't believe it, and he was unwilling to accept it, that the person who had treated him with the tender care of a younger brother had left him.
After a long silence, Zhou Yu gently wiped away the tears on his face, slowly raised his head, and asked in a trembling voice, "Teacher, how...how did she die?"
"About a month ago, her body was found in a wooded area near a village outside the city..."
Su Yuntao truthfully recounted everything he knew.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yu interrupted him emotionally, asking, "Which village?"
Su Yuntao paused, then replied, "Holy Soul Village!"
Upon hearing the words "Holy Soul Village," Zhou Yu was taken aback and continued, "Does Teacher have any obvious injuries?"
Su Yuntao answered definitively, "Although Sisi showed signs of poisoning, the fatal wound was on her neck, which was likely caused by a long, sharp weapon."
"Holy Soul Village, poisoned, a long, sharp weapon!"
Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Zhou Yu was certain that Tang San was the murderer of Sisi.
"Master Su Yuntao, please lead the way. I wish to pay my respects to my teacher!"
……
After investigation and verification, it was confirmed that Tang San and Xiao Wu did indeed return to Holy Soul Village when Sisi was killed.
After paying his respects to Sisi, Zhou Yu arrived at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.
After numerous adjustments and improvements, his Desert Eagle was finally assembled, and with the help of the Spirit Hall's resources, he successfully manufactured twenty bullets.
Zhou Yu lingered outside the academy, wondering how to sneak in.
He saw three figures emerge from inside, two of whom were Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
As for the other person, Zhou Yu had never met him, but he heard Wei Men address him as Dean.
"Level 42 Weapon Soul Master..."
According to the original story, this dean, who is over fifty years old, possesses the strength of a Soul Master.
At Yu Xiaogang's invitation, the other party agreed to personally help Tang San obtain his second spirit ring.
"I didn't expect his soul power to have reached level 20."
Zhou Yu couldn't understand why Sisi, who clearly possessed level 28 soul power, was defeated by Tang San and Xiao Wu.
This is inseparable from the stealthy attack of the silent hidden dart.
On the other hand, Sisi did not intend to kill Tang San; she only wanted to capture him alive.
Unexpectedly, they possessed the strength of near-Great Soul Masters, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was extremely resilient and also contained poison.
With the Desert Eagle in his hand, Zhou Yu was confident that he could kill Tang San.
Of course, he himself would probably not escape death.
However, Sisi's death made him change his mind.
Killing Tang San like this would be too lenient on him.
Zhou Yu wanted him to experience the pain of losing a loved one.
"Teacher, don't worry! I will make Tang San lose everything he has, and then I will kill him."
There was no one left in Nottingham City worth his lingering for, so he came to Sisi's grave once more.
After making his vow, Zhou Yu set off back to the Spirit Hall's primary Soul Master Academy.
Now that Tang San has set off for the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his second soul ring, Zhou Yu cannot fall behind him. He must speed up his pace and strive to enter the ranks of Great Soul Masters as soon as possible.
……
When Zhou Yu returned to the Spirit Hall's Junior Spirit Master Academy, his spirit power had already reached level 20. With the dean's help, he killed a spirit beast over 600 years old called "Golden Silkworm." He not only obtained his second spirit ring but also acquired his second spirit skill, "Butterfly Transformation," which gave him the ability to fly.
Moreover, his martial soul, the Chameleon, evolved once again, awakening its third talent ability: [Perception].
Chameleons have sensitive tactile receptors on their skin, enabling them to sense subtle changes in their environment. This includes sensing vibrations in the ground or minute changes in the surrounding air, allowing them to detect potential threats in time and take appropriate action.
