Outside the Dark Spirit Pool, Wang Yufeng, Song Qiuyu, and Di Fajingming's eyes were fixed on the incomplete Dark Spirit Leaf in Li Luo's hand.

  The three of them were no fools, and when Li Luo took out the Dark Spirit Leaf that could only allow two people to enter the Dark Spirit Pool, they knew what Li Luo was planning.

  No more than sowing discord and killing three people with two peaches.

  This dark spirit leaf, if accepted, no matter how it is used, will always leave one person behind. That person, whoever they are, will inevitably harbor resentment in their heart.

  Even if he may choose to yield generously at the moment, some resentment will always exist and will eventually lead to changes in their relationship.

  So, this Dark Spirit Leaf really does have "severe toxicity".

  But Li Luo also didn't hide his intentions, the other party could choose not to, as long as they could resist the temptation of entering the Dark Spirit Pool for early cultivation.

  As long as three people can resolutely abandon this temptation, Li Luo's plan will also be in vain.

  However, Li Luo didn't think that Wang Yufeng and Song Qiuyu's temperament could be firm to this extent.

  "So, do you want it? If not, I'll take it back." Li Luo said calmly.

  Saying so, he decided to retrieve the Dark Spirit Leaf.

  However, Song Qiuyu was one step ahead and stretched out her hand to grab the Dark Spirit Leaf from Li Luo's hand. Her face was cloudy and uncertain as she tossed a small bottle over, which happened to be half a bottle of Emperor's Flowing Dew.

  Li Luo took over the wooden bottle and didn't say another word. He turned around and left, completely disregarding how they wanted to use the Dark Spirit Leaf.

  Song Qiuyu gazed at Li Luo's back, then turned to Wang Yufeng and said, "This piece of Dark Spirit Leaf, the two of you can use it. I can wait for next time."

  Wang Yu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "Autumn Rain, you don't have to make such a great sacrifice."

  "If we are indeed going to distribute this Dark Spirit Leaf, we should do it in the fairest way possible, which is by distributing it according to individual contributions."

  When he heard this, Song Qiuyu's heart secretly cried out "oh no", and when she looked up, she indeed saw that Tifa Jingming's expression had stiffened for a moment, but it quickly recovered.

  Tifa Jingming smiled and nodded, saying: "This is indeed the fairest way. Autumn Rain, you can enter the Dark Spirit Pool with the captain first, I'll wait for next time."

  Don't worry, Jing Ming. We won't let you suffer a loss. We'll still be staying in the hidden cave for some time and when the opportunity arises, we'll make it up to you.

  Tifa Jingming smiled and waved his hand.

  Song Qiuyu wanted to speak but stopped, Ti Fa Jingming had been in contact with her for many years, and their families were also acquainted. The other party was her excellent partner at the Shengxuan Xuefu Academy. Her rationality told her that she should now speak up for Ti Fa Jingming and firmly stand on the latter's side.

  But doing so would make Wang Yufeng lose face.

  This is also clearly out of her character.

  In the end, she could only choose silence between two difficulties.

  She also knew in her heart that her silence would inevitably disappoint Detty, and this would also cause some cracks to appear in the relationship between the two.

  But what can she do?

  Neither she nor Wang Yufeng could actually give up the temptation brought by the Dark Spirit Leaf, they can indeed wait for the next wave of Dark Spirit Leaves.

  But at that time, it lost the initiative, and the effect of entering and cultivating will also be greatly discounted.

  Neither of them was very willing to bear this loss.

  Just then, Li Luo sent over a piece of Dark Spirit Leaf, which although contained poison, neither of them could bear to abandon.

  She could only say that she had underestimated Li Luo's tactics, and the other party hadn't used any force or relied on Jiang Qing'e to pressure her. In fact, if they had done so, she wouldn't have been afraid at all.

  But she never thought that Li Luo's counterattack was just taking out a broken Dark Spirit Leaf.

  This dark spiritual leaf has caused some relationships she had painstakingly maintained for many years to develop cracks.

  The cost is actually very heavy.

  At this moment, Song Qiuyu couldn't help but feel some regret. Why did he have to provoke Li Luo with his impatient temper earlier?

  This guy's strength may not be as good as Jiang Qing'e, but these methods are even more lethal than Jiang Qing'e.

  But for Song Qiuyu's regret, Li Luo no longer cared. This time in the Dark Spirit Pool, his strength increased by two levels, and he got a lot of Academy points, making him rich beyond his wildest dreams.

  He walked towards Jiang Qing'e and the others, then turned to Tian Tian and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I've delayed for so long on this side of Anling Pool."

  They stayed here for most of the day, and during this time, Dōzuka Kurenai, Yū Akatsuki, and others must have been constantly advancing, and may have even opened up a second purification tower. In terms of progress, they were likely to be behind.

  Tian Tian smiled and said, "Sharpening the knife doesn't waste the effort of chopping firewood. Your team's strength has increased significantly, which will also help us in our later advancement to the second-level purification tower."

  They've already done so much for human feelings, of course they won't mind going all the way. As for Tatsuzawa Kurenai, let them have their moment of triumph, it's not a big deal.

  Later on, under the leadership of the team leader, there were opportunities to suppress them.

  Jiang Qing'e took out the map, glanced at it, and indeed saw that the signs of two secondary purification towers had been lit up. Upon closer inspection, next to one of the tower's name was the team name "Duzi Honglian" - which was exactly Du Ze's team.

  "It's not urgent, and it's not like there's no chance of catching up at all." Jiang Qing'e said calmly.

  Li Luo nodded, just about to speak, when suddenly a thunderous roar came from the distant mountains, the roar seemed to bring with it sound waves, rolling in from afar, transforming into a fierce gale that howled through the forest.

  At the same time, the energy in this world suddenly became violent.

  Everyone present was shocked by this sudden change.

  One by one, the horrified gazes were cast into the depths of the mountain forest, in the direction from which the roaring sounds came. That was a forbidden zone, where it was said that no other creatures existed, and only...

  It's that Heaven's General stage beast whose strength is even more terrifying than an Exotic Beast!

  But why did this quiet and gentle beast, which had never made a sound before, suddenly become restless today?

  The crowd was in a panic, and the faces of Qiu Bai and Tian Tian also became solemn. Even though they were separated by such a great distance, they could still see a black wolf smoke rising into the sky, with violent energy raging out from within.

  In the dark misty smoke, there was a huge vague shape rushing by.

  But gradually, their faces suddenly changed a bit, because they found that the direction of the huge object's rush was exactly this way?!

  Others also discovered this and immediately showed a look of horror.

  "Don't panic."

  Jiang Qing'e spoke up at this time, her clear and cold voice gradually calming down the panic of the crowd: "Outside the restricted area, it is said that there are characters and symbols personally engraved by the dean, which this beast cannot escape."

  Everyone heard this and exchanged skeptical glances. They didn't know about this news, but considering Jiang Qing'e's status, she should have received more attention within the school, so it wasn't strange that she knew some secrets.

  So, people's terror subsided a bit, and they looked far away, thinking that if something was wrong, they would immediately pull their legs and run.

  Li Luo was also gazing at the depths of the mountain range, his brow furrowed slightly as he faintly sensed that the ferocious beast gave him a sense of familiarity.

  After thinking for a few seconds, his pupils suddenly contracted.

  Wasn't the ominous feeling he sensed in Dark Spirit Spring exactly the same as this one?

  The ferocious aura actually came from this Heavenly General Tier beast in the restricted area!

  Is this beast so restless because of him?

  Li Luo's sudden change is because he picked the Dark Spirit Leaf? It can't be, those Dark Spirit Leaves aren't that precious, it's impossible for them to make a Heaven Stage beast like him go berserk.

  Moreover, from this feeling before, Li Luo clearly felt a kind of greed and hunger.

  As if he wanted to swallow him whole.

  So, is it because of Dark Spirit Leaf or because of some reason within himself?

  In the depths of Dark Spirit Spring, Li Luo's only display of power different from ordinary people...

  Li Luo's eyes flashed, and it was the power of duality.

  The power of duality is the symbol of strength for a strong Hou, it is said that this Tianjiang Jie's beast is also in the stage of rushing to the Hou level, perhaps it sensed his duality, so it would be so greedy, trying to devour him, in order to help itself upgrade?

  He is indeed a beast, so cruel and brutal.

  Li Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because he felt that his guess was probably close to the truth. This made him feel somewhat apprehensive, and he hadn't expected that this pair would also be targeted one day.

  This world is indeed very dangerous.

  I don't know if the so-called Dean's handwriting that Qing'e sister mentioned is true or not. If that handwriting has disappeared due to the passage of time, wouldn't he be targeted by a Tianjing beast at the top of the heavenly ranks today?

  Just thinking about it made Li Luo's legs slightly weak.

  Rumble!

  The mountain range was shaking, with thick black smoke billowing across the sky, rushing towards the outside of the mountain range. As the violent air current that filled the sky and earth drew closer, some of the students present could no longer hold back and began to flee in panic.

  Just as Li Luo was considering making a run for it, a mysterious flash of light suddenly burst forth from a mountain peak on the outer edge of the mountain range.

  A flash of light appeared in the sky, as if forming an ancient giant character.

  Seal!

  The ancient giant character floated in the sky, spewing out mysterious power. As it appeared, the originally surging black smoke that was charging towards the mountain range suddenly stopped.

  In the black smoke, a huge object roared with fury at the ancient giant characters, and the strong wind swept across, shaking the mountains and forests.
