Chapter 218 Juan's Past
"Uncle Niu, look at your soul power, it's almost gone! We've already made it into the top three, why don't you withdraw from this competition?"
As he spoke, the whip-wielding boy glanced slyly at the man known as Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu glared at the whip-wielding boy and cursed:
"Hey! You little rascal, Zhao Mian, you're so clever at such a young age, trying to take advantage of me, Old Niu!"
After saying that, Uncle Niu shook his head helplessly, but his relaxed expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he was not really angry.
Just then, the Thunder Spirit girl, who had been silent all along, suddenly became nervous.
She stared warily at Uncle Niu and the whip-wielding boy who were talking, wondering to herself: Just who are these two people?
Why are you chatting so recklessly at this moment?
You see, in a situation where everyone is a stranger, someone like her who doesn't know anyone is often the first to be eliminated.
This spirit girl is named Juan, and her background is rather poignant.
Her parents were originally guards of the former leader, Xiao Qiang, and were extremely loyal to him.
However, the turning point of fate always comes unexpectedly.
One day, Xiaoqiang went to attend a large-scale gathering.
At that gathering, Xiao Qiang unexpectedly obtained a mysterious power that could awaken a martial spirit.
This should have been a wonderful thing, but unexpectedly, trouble soon followed.
It turns out that when Xiaoqiang learned that he wanted to absorb a spirit ring to improve his strength, he needed to abide by the seller's rules regarding the age limit for absorbing spirit rings, and the price of these rules was ridiculously high.
Xiaoqiang, who always thought highly of himself, was naturally unwilling to be bound by this, so he came up with a bold idea - to conduct experiments himself and find a method that was not restricted.
From that day on, Xiaoqiang's most loyal guards, including Juan's parents, all unfortunately became his first batch of experimental victims.
In the beginning, everyone was deeply proud of the fact that they would one day awaken their martial spirit and gain great power from it.
They eagerly awaited this moment, dreaming of using this power to change their destiny, protect those they cherish, and explore the unknown and mysterious world.
However, Xiao Qiang, who seems to grant everyone great power, actually harbors a secret conspiracy.
On the surface, he generously gives everyone the opportunity to awaken their martial spirit, but behind the scenes he uses each person as a stepping stone on his path to improve his own strength.
These innocent people unknowingly became tools for him to realize his ambitions.
Juan originally had a happy and carefree childhood.
Back then, she was immersed in happiness every day, fully enjoying all the wonderful things life brought her.
But one day, everything changed dramatically.
That day, Juan's parents rushed home in a panic and made a resolute decision to take her away from this place immediately.
Despite their swift action, unfortunately, before they could even leave the village's jurisdiction, they were blocked by Xiaoqiang's men.
It turns out that Juan's parents accidentally witnessed Xiaoqiang's heinous acts—he was actually using living humans to conduct inhumane experiments!
Previously, when faced with doubts from others, Xiaoqiang always confidently fabricated various lies to cover up the truth.
He claimed that the missing people had simply gotten lost while out hunting.
But the truth is, these poor people all became victims of Xiaoqiang's terrible experiments, like lab rats being manipulated in a laboratory.
As time went on, Xiaoqiang's experiments became increasingly outrageous.
Initially, his research was relatively normal, consisting of testing the age of different spirit rings and attempting to repeatedly break spirit rings and then reabsorb them.
But gradually, his curiosity turned toward some extremely evil and unethical directions.
For example, he wanted to explore whether martial spirits could devour each other;
Can a Soul Master's Soul Rings provide the nutrients needed for the growth of other Soul Masters?
There are even absurd questions like whether it's possible for a new life to be born between a soul beast and a soul master.
Juan's parents were horrified to discover that one by one, her close friends were mysteriously disappearing without a trace.
This eerie situation filled them with fear, and they sensed that misfortune was about to befall them.
After careful consideration, they finally decided to escape this terrible place.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people.
That very night he was captured.
She was completely stunned by the horrific scene before her eyes—her parents were being dragged into a dark laboratory by Xiaoqiang to undergo an experiment that she would never forget.
Will a Soul Devouring Master increase the strength of their Soul?
Xiaoqiang's distorted and insane voice echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.
Juan watched helplessly as her parents suffered inhumane and perverse experiments, her heart breaking, and tears instantly blurred her vision.
From that moment on, the bloody scene was deeply imprinted in Juan's heart, becoming a nightmare she could never erase.
In particular, her body would tremble involuntarily whenever she saw Xiao Qiang's martial spirit.
Time flies, and Juan now possesses extraordinary strength.
She was captured and taken to Wu Heyi's village, where she was surprised to find that the village chief treated the villagers with great care and affection, like family.
This warmth and kindness deeply touched Juan's already wounded heart.
Thus, a fire of revenge ignited in Juan's heart.
She longed to win first place in the village competition in order to attract the village chief's attention and favor.
Only in this way could she have enough power to fight against the cockroach that had brought her endless pain and to avenge her tragically killed parents.
At that moment, when Juan saw the two people in front of her talking without any restraint, her vigilance instantly reached its peak.
She knew she couldn't let her guard down at this crucial moment, or all her years of hard work would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Juan clenched her fists tightly, staring sharply at the two people in front of her, her whole body tense, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Zhao Mian, who was standing to the side, obviously noticed Juan's nervous expression. He frowned slightly as he looked at Juan.
Zhao Mian's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a mocking smile, and she said in a contemptuous tone:
"Hehe, look at you, you've almost run out of soul power, haven't you? You'd better hurry up and back out to admit defeat, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
From the very beginning of the match, Zhao Mian wandered around the field like a monkey, never actually launching an attack on his opponent.
He was like a slippery eel, skillfully avoiding direct confrontation time and time again, so his soul power was hardly consumed.
At this moment, the sweat streaming down his body was simply due to the prolonged physical exertion.
Just then, Uncle Niu suddenly shouted loudly:
"Juan, don't listen to that guy's nonsense! I've known your parents for many years!"
"If we join forces, we can definitely eliminate this arrogant brat in one fell swoop!"
Hearing Uncle Niu mention his parents, Juan's heart skipped a beat.
The phrase "I know my parents" was like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, instantly illuminating those long-buried memories deep within her mind.
It turns out that the main reason her parents planned to escape with her under the cover of night, but were ultimately caught, was because a trusted acquaintance betrayed them and reported them to the enemy!
Thinking of this, Juan frowned deeply, her heart burning with rage.
Streaks of blue lightning crackled and danced across her delicate body, seemingly tearing the surrounding air apart.
