Shi Yu released his Eight Spider Lances, and one of the spider legs carefully landed on the soul-devouring carving knife.
There was no special feeling upon contact.
Shi Yu tried to slightly activate the Eight Spider Lances'Devouring Power, but there was no reaction at first.
As Senior kept trying to devour, a bit of abnormal energy finally entered the spider leg.
Shi Yu quickly slowed down, not daring to absorb too much of the turbid evil energy without being sure if Senior could resolve it.
A little bit of turbid evil energy was absorbed by the Eight Spider Lances into Shi Yu's body, and it didn't bring him any bad feelings.
Shi Yu tried to absorb some more, and there was still nothing abnormal.
"Is it because the absorbed amount isn't enough, or will absorbing it into the body not cause any harm?" Shi Yu wasn't sure which situation it was.
Since there were no problems, Senior continued to absorb, always remaining vigilant.
The fact that this soul-devouring carving knife had such a fearsome reputation indicated that it was truly lethal, and its turbid evil energy couldn't be completely harmless.
"There's abnormal energy in the position of the Eight Spider Lances," Shi Yu stopped absorbing the turbid evil energy.
Perhaps the amount absorbed reached a certain level, allowing Senior to finally sense the presence of this turbid energy.
The turbid evil energy Senior had absorbed was accumulating on Shi Yu's back.
Senior dared not be careless; the spine is a very important part of the human body. If something went wrong, Senior might end up paralyzed in bed like Teacher Mu En.
Senior stopped absorbing and tried to use Soul Power to dispel this turbid evil energy.
Neither the power of Time nor Space had any good effect on the turbid evil energy.
Shi Yu tried for over half an hour, but it still had no effect.
"Try using Dragon God's Blood," Shi Yu pondered for a long time before attempting to use the power of Dragon God's Blood to dispel the evil energy.
Senior wasn't worried that the turbid evil energy would contaminate Senior's Dragon God's Blood.
This was Dragon God's Blood, a level even above that of Ilex. How could a bit of turbid evil energy contaminate it?
One must know that this turbid evil energy only came from an Evil Soul Master of the Title Douluo level.
An Evil Soul Master of this strength could be considered powerful, but compared to a god, there was still a huge gap.
Any hidden dangers caused by them would be hard to threaten beings of a much higher level.
A drop of Dragon God's Blood condensed by Shi Yu appeared on Senior's back.
The moment it came into contact with the turbid evil energy, it caused a lot of the turbid evil energy to disperse.
"It works," Shi Yu's eyes lit up. The power of the Dragon God's Blood truly did not disappoint Senior.
Senior focused on activating the Dragon God's Blood to drive away the turbid evil energy, and the effect was surprisingly good, causing the turbid evil energy absorbed into the body to completely disappear.
"There's even energy feedback?" Shi Yu's eyes became even brighter. After the turbid evil energy was purified by the Dragon God's Blood, it seemed that a surge of energy was absorbed by Senior's body, and Senior's cultivation even increased slightly.
After a brief thought, Senior roughly understood what was happening.
This turbid evil energy could be seen as poisoned energy. By removing the poisonous aspect, what remained was pure energy, which could be converted into cultivation after absorption and integration.
After confirming that the Dragon God's Blood was effective against this turbid evil energy, Shi Yu felt relieved and continued to try absorbing the turbid evil energy from the soul-devouring carving knife.
Senior appropriately sped up, and after absorbing a certain amount, Senior would stop and try to purify it with the Dragon God's Blood.
The amount of turbid evil energy in this soul-devouring carving knife was considerable. Even after absorbing until the middle of the night, Senior couldn't finish absorbing all of the turbid evil energy.
Shi Yu didn't continue to stay up. It wasn't necessary to purify it all at once.
Senior slept for over four hours before getting up. Their match today was still scheduled for the first round.
Today's opponent was relatively weak, one of the two teams in this group with the weakest apparent strength.
The other team was Shrek Academy, but because Shrek Academy had Shi Yu, their apparent strength was weak, but their actual strength was not to be underestimated.
And this Academy was truly weak. Under Shi Yu's leadership, they won without much difficulty.
The reason it was said to be without much difficulty was that they drew the method of combat they were least willing to face: the two-two-three battle strategy.
They could only participate in two matches, and to win, they had to win both.
Shi Yu teamed up with Xiao Xiao and easily won the two-on-two match.
Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong participated in the match.
Their opponents were all Soul Grandmasters, and their apparent strength was still superior to Jiang Nannan and the other two.
Especially since Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul's combat power wasn't strong and mainly relied on his first Martial Soul.
This meant that Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong needed to withstand the attacks of the three combat-type Soul Grandmasters on the opposing side.
Even with Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection and spiritual sharing assistance, it wasn't that easy.
Fortunately, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong were also capable, and after a tough fight, they successfully defeated the opponents.
Since both matches were won, there was no need to proceed with the third match.
Shrek Academy achieved their second victory in the group stage.
Today, after the match, Shi Yu didn't stay to watch the remaining matches but returned immediately to continue the cleaning work on the soul-devouring carving knife.
After two days of hard work, Shi Yu finally absorbed and refined all the turbid evil energy from the soul-devouring carving knife.
His Soul Power increased to the early stage of level thirty-seven as a result, an increase of over two levels, which made Shi Yu quite happy. Senior hadn't expected such an additional gain.
After all, what truly interested Shi Yu about the soul-devouring carving knife wasn't these two levels of Soul Power increase, but the magical metal known as living gold.
As the last bit of turbid evil energy was dealt with by Shi Yu, the appearance of the originally somewhat ancient-looking soul-devouring carving knife underwent a great change.
Overall, it looked like it was carved and crafted from translucent green crystal, with an exquisite appearance and emitting a rich aura of life.
Shi Yu couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if all the cells in Senior's body had become unusually active due to the stimulation of this energy.
"Next, it's time to try absorbing and integrating the living gold," Shi Yu rubbed Senior's hands, looking forward to his body gaining powerful healing abilities after absorbing and integrating the living gold.
Currently, Senior's body's healing ability was already quite exaggerated; his self-healing ability was tens or even hundreds of times that of a normal Soul Master. Minor injuries could recover completely in less than an hour, without even leaving a scar.
If Senior's self-healing ability were to be further enhanced, Senior would be somewhat invincible.
His Space ability already made him not easily injured. If Senior also had a body that was almost impossible to kill, wouldn't that be invincible?
Of course, the premise was that the opponent's strength couldn't surpass Senior too much. If they could directly blow up Senior's body, Senior would still die.
Shi Yu was just about to attempt the absorption when a knock sounded at the door.
"Huo Yuhao?" Hearing the knock, Shi Yu subconsciously sensed who was outside the door through Space detection.
The feedback indicated it was Huo Yuhao.
"Why is Senior here?" Shi Yu frowned, got up, and put the living gold into Senior's Storage Soul Tool.
Opening the door, it was indeed Huo Yuhao outside.
Seeing Shi Yu, Huo Yuhao's expression was a bit strange, looking as if Senior had something to say but was hesitant.
Seeing Huo Yuhao like this, Shi Yu's heart stirred. Could it be that Senior was here for the living gold?
"Is there something?" Shi Yu asked proactively.
"Can I come in to talk?" Huo Yuhao said. Shi Yu felt even more strongly that this was possible. After thinking for a moment, Senior still invited Huo Yuhao in, without intending to close the door.
Huo Yuhao, however, went and closed the door, which made Shi Yu frown slightly, but Senior didn't say anything.
Sitting opposite Senior, looking at him.
Huo Yuhao seemed unsure how to start. "If you have something to say, just say it directly," Shi Yu said.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, chose his words, and then said, "I sensed a very pure life energy. The item emitting this energy is of great use to me."
"So I want to discuss with you, can you part with this item and give it to me?"
"Don't worry, I won't take it for free. I will definitely give you something of equal value in exchange."
Shi Yu didn't speak, just looked at Huo Yuhao. This wasn't what Senior wanted, but rather what Ilex in Senior's spiritual sea wanted, Senior feared.
