After staying in the Holy City for a long time, Lan Daier actually knew some secrets about Sophia. There were some ancient secrets about her in the Holy City. This Great Teacher looked rather young and sexy, but in reality, she was old enough to be the grandmother of most Great Teachers. Furthermore, it was said that when she was young, her fierce reputation had spread far and wide. She was a very powerful and ruthless figure, and even Sacred Teachers had to give her some face. As for Great Teachers, almost no one was willing to provoke her.
Furthermore, if this was all, Lan Daier would not feel that there was anything wrong. In the Holy City, there were many powerful Great Teachers like Sophia. Most importantly, Lan Daier also happened to know some other secrets about Great Teacher Sophia, such as a cruel and dark history of this Great Teacher … She wanted to say something but stopped.
In the end, she did not say anything. She did not have any evidence for this secret. If this was in the past, perhaps she could casually mention this to Wang Zhong as if they were having a normal conversation. However, their identities were different now. Sophia was Scarlet's Teacher, and Scarlet was Wang Zhong's girlfriend. Lan Daier did not want to give Wang Zhong the impression that she was slandering Teacher Scarlet.
"I don't think so." Lan Daier pondered for a long time and finally found a compromise. "Although Great Teacher Sophia is under Sacred Teacher Leyson, she is one of the more extreme advocates of war in this war. If she hears about this, she might not really report it … If things are really like what you said, the Octopus people will probably wait for the Holy City to continuously send reinforcements in the short term and will not launch a large-scale counterattack. The Holy City Army is still safe for the time being. We still have time. Let me think of a way to let you meet Sacred Teacher Leyson. There should be a chance. You can go back and wait for my news. "
… …
Similarly, in the depths of the base, the news of Wang Zhong's return had spread among the Great Teachers, but it did not attract much attention. Most Great Teachers had only heard of Wang Zhong and knew that this young newcomer had risen like the sun in the sky in the Holy Battle and had done a series of major things that even the Great Teachers had to pay attention to. As a result, these Great Teachers could not help but talk about him after a meal. However, that was all. As Great Teachers in the Holy Battle, they had to be responsible for many things. It was rare to see an astonishing genius like Wang Zhong in the Holy Battle, but this was not something that they should pay attention to. Unless this fellow suddenly advanced to the Heavenly Soul Stage and obtained the qualifications of a Great Teacher, he would have the same authority as them, and they would work together as colleagues. Only then would he truly enter their line of sight.
Wang Zhong had this potential. Furthermore, this day would definitely not be too far away, but not now. However, while there were those who viewed him indifferently, there would definitely be those who paid close attention to him.
It was rare that Sophia was not sitting in front of her work desk. Instead, she was in her own room, in front of a dressing table that was overflowing with light and colors from the Crystal World. She was meticulously putting on makeup. A few strands of white hair that had just been plucked were neatly placed on the dressing table. The few wrinkles that had quietly appeared on her face were also covered up by her exquisite makeup techniques.
When she looked closely at the young and eternal face in the mirror, Sophia was not very satisfied.
The speed at which the power corroded her was becoming faster and faster. This was unavoidable. Even for a powerful practitioner like her, although her lifespan had been extended, it was not truly eternal. On the contrary, after advancing to the Heavenly Soul Stage, unless one successfully passed the Calamity, the speed at which one's body aged would be even faster than that of ordinary people. This was because their bodies had to withstand the corrosion of powerful power at all times. This accelerated the division of their cells and their metabolism. Naturally, they would age and die at a faster rate.
She had received news of Wang Zhong's return as soon as possible. She had even used various methods to find out about the various major events that had happened to Wang Zhong along the way. Other than not knowing how exactly he had suddenly gone from the Octopus people's Imperial City to Earth, even the small things that Wang Zhong had done on Earth could not escape her information network.
He had instantly killed a native Heavenly Soul from the Earth, as well as an old 4-star Great Teacher from the Zhao Family. Furthermore, after the other party had forcefully recovered his youth, he had reached his peak state for a short period of time. This was true strength, and he had not used any tricks. The speed at which this young man grew had exceeded Sophia's expectations. His potential shocked Sophia again and again. Furthermore, what was even more terrifying was that she could clearly sense that Wang Zhong's influence was becoming greater and greater. It was no longer limited to the Holy Disciples in the Holy City Army's Exploration Team Department, but also included the higher-ups in the Holy Land. This was not the first time she had heard the Heavenly Soul experts talking about this young man at gatherings with some Great Teachers.
Frankly speaking, in the beginning, Sophia did not care much about Wang Zhong. He was just a 'dog' or a 'pet' beside her beloved disciple, Scarlet. When she was happy, she could let him bring some happiness to Scarlet. When she was unhappy, she could act like a strict parent and confiscate her disciple's beloved toy at any time. He was just an object, an insignificant plaything that could exist or disappear at any time according to his mood. But now, this insignificant plaything had rapidly grown into an existence that even he felt a little threatened.
She could not allow him to continue like this. She had to get rid of Wang Zhong. If not, she would be nurturing a tiger that would invite trouble! Scarlet was simply too important to her. Furthermore, the final outcome would definitely not be a harmonious relationship between teacher and disciple.
Furthermore, as Scarlet's boyfriend, if she allowed Wang Zhong to continue to grow at this rocket-like speed, then when problems arose between her and Scarlet in the future, this fellow would definitely become a huge problem for her. He might even become her mortal enemy that would hasten her death.
In fact, long before this, when Wang Zhong had killed Sword Saint Heinrich for the first time, Sophia had already realized this problem. However, according to the analysis of various parties, Wang Zhong had used the power of C 'Thun's Stink Bomb to kill Heinrich. It was a combination of strategy and luck. Thus, Sophia did not pay much attention to it. But even so, Sophia immediately arranged for Wang Zhong to take on the mission to kill him in the Shadow Moon Fortress. Sophia had sent experts there before. Of course, she knew about the situation in the Shadow Moon Fortress and the existence of Warlock Saint Sauron. Even the bounty that the Zhao Family had issued on the black market, as well as the one-eyed exploration team accepting the mission to assassinate Wang Zhong, did not escape Sophia's eyes.
However, it was a pity that the one-eyed exploration team was too trashy. Even the Octopus people were completely unreliable. They could not even kill a small Heroic Soul. Instead, he caused a huge ruckus, and his strength had increased greatly before he returned … This time, she could not let others do it!
She stood up and changed into the robe of a Great Teacher. At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
"Hmm." Sophia gave a faint hmm.
The door was pushed open, and her eldest disciple, Bolton, walked in respectfully. "Teacher …"
"I have something to do and will need to go out for at least half a month, or even longer. I will temporarily hand over the work of the Exploration Team Department to you," Sophia calmly said. "Furthermore, find a way to make Wang Zhong disappear. You have to ensure that nothing goes wrong. You have to clean up your hands and feet as well. Don't leave any clues for others to trace."
"Yes." There was no change in Bolton's expression.
Bolton was Sophia's trusted subordinate. Not only was he a trusted disciple, but he also had other uses.
As for the consequences, although Wang Zhong was famous, he was just a Teacher in name. He did not have any real position in the Holy City Army, nor did he have any background in the upper echelons. Such a person had not truly formed a power or circle that was loyal to him. If he suddenly died in some accident, even if someone suspected him, as long as there was not enough evidence, no one would really cause trouble for him.
Without saying anything else, a soul light flashed in Sophia's hand, and she disappeared from the spot.
This was a unique fragment world. This was Sophia's private territory. Every Sacred Teacher had their own fragment world. Some Sacred Teachers might have a few, but Great Teachers who had a fragment world were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
At that moment, snowflakes the size of goose feathers were falling from the sky of the entire fragment world, dyeing the entire world snow-white. In the center of the land, there was a heavenly lake that looked like ice crystals. A young body was quietly sitting cross-legged in the center of the heavenly lake.
Sophia's gaze swept across the young body. She had plump and voluptuous breasts, pink and tender spots, pure white and smooth skin, and a face that was infinitely beautiful and filled with an ethereal aura. Her skin was so tender that it seemed as if it could be broken by the slightest breeze. Her jet-black hair made Sophia extremely intoxicated.
She had a perfect body and a perfect age … The only flaw was that this stupid girl had given her virginity to that damned fellow. However, it did not matter. Sophia did not particularly care about this. However, the body that she was about to enter had actually been entered by that young fellow. As a result, she felt slightly disgusted …
That was right. She wanted to exchange her body for Scarlet's! This was also the only reason why she had taken Scarlet in as her disciple and thought highly of her. She had personally brought Scarlet to increase her strength and explore various secret realms. She had put in all her effort to nurture Scarlet!
She was already very old and could be considered one of the oldest Heavenly Souls. The reason why she had not died was because of the Soul Transferring Technique, which was also known as possession. This was not a secret among the higher-ups, but those people were already at the level of Sacred Teachers and would not care about her actions. Scarlet was the best body that she had ever seen. As long as she possessed Scarlet, she would once again have the chance to attack the Heavenly Calamity. This would be her third time attacking the Heavenly Calamity.
Of course, possession was a taboo even in the system of the Holy Land and could not be done openly. As she looked at this perfect body, she began to drool with desire.
At first, she had wanted to wait for a period of time. She wanted to wait for Scarlet to naturally advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage before possessing Scarlet's body. However, her body was aging at an accelerated rate, and there were many uncertainties in various aspects. She could not wait that long.
Steam rose from the heavenly lake. Various natural treasures that she had collected over the past few decades were gathered here. She wanted to forcefully help Scarlet overcome the barrier of the Heavenly Soul Stage. This was because only the physical body of an expert at the Heavenly Soul Stage could withstand her massive soul!
"Teacher."
Scarlet, who was meditating with her eyes closed in the heavenly lake, sensed Sophia's arrival and opened her eyes.
The greed and desire in Sophia's eyes disappeared in an instant. She calmly waved her hand. "Focus on what you need to do and activate the Soul Drawing Technique. I will help you guide your soul back. Only when you advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage will you truly have a place in the Holy Battle!"
There was gratitude in Scarlet's eyes. Wang Zhong's various encounters in the past had made her vexed more than once that her power was too meager and she could not help him. She did not expect that her teacher would suddenly respond to the desire in her heart. Now, Scarlet felt that any one of the natural treasures that were immersed in the heavenly lake was a sin of extravagance. For her, her teacher had actually …
"Close your eyes and concentrate. Don't be distracted!" Sophia's reprimanding voice sounded beside her ear.
"Yes!" Scarlet knew that this was a rare opportunity and did not dare to be careless. She hurriedly gathered her thoughts.
The heat in the heavenly lake became even more intense, causing her milky and smooth body to turn slightly red. A layer of fog covered the mountains, and the figures of the teacher and disciple gradually disappeared.
When they returned to the base, as a Teacher, Wang Zhong already had the qualifications to have an independent house. The Exploration Team Department quickly settled on a place for him to stay. Of course, whether Wang Zhong could stay or not was his problem. However, he could let Simba use it to get some fresh air.
Now, the entire Holy Battle was still in a stalemate. More and more Octopus Saints had appeared in the southern battlefield, causing the Holy City Army to feel that their high-end combat power was limited. Thus, on one hand, they were steadily waiting for the support of high-level combat power from the Holy Land. On the other hand, they continued to popularize the Soul Power Circuit in the army. To be honest, if it was not for the appearance of the Soul Power Circuit, the human Holy Battle might have become a joke.
Regardless of whether it was the vigorous promotion by the higher-ups or the unprecedented enthusiasm for learning, the Soul Power Circuit had become the hottest topic in the two battlefields. Even though the grassroots version of the Soul Power Circuit did not have a Soul Core and could not reach the true essence realm that Wang Zhong could do as he pleased, it was a practical technique that was easy to learn and use. For Heroic Soul soldiers, the increase in combat power by at least 30% was enough to make them go crazy.
However, people were gradually beginning to feel the upper limits of the grassroots version.
This was clearly a perfect new system, but it only had the foundations of speed, power, and agility. Was there no possibility of improving it? Many people were researching and trying … Unfortunately, there were no results. The three major Circuits were just a few simple applications that Wang Zhong had stripped off from the Soul Power Circuit that had been established by his Soul Core. Thus, just looking at these three Circuits would seem extremely simple. However, this simplicity was the accumulation of countless essences and multiplications. Only those who had grasped the core could continue to make deductions. Others were merely learning from experience. Trying to reverse engineer and invent? That was not the same thing. It was even more difficult than inventing the Soul Power Circuit from scratch.
