Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

"Li Chen, go and invite Master Sang and my master over here quickly." Bai Yun ordered.

"Yes, Palace Master, please wait a moment, I'll go right away." Li Chen took the order and disappeared on the spot in a flash.

"Well, not bad, this kid has improved his cultivation again." Bai Yun nodded with satisfaction. Then he told Nasus that he could let the disciples come.

"The top 100 in the sect competition, please come to the Merit Hall on the second floor of the Judicial Pavilion and gather." Nasus's voice, as loud as a bell, rang out in Baiyun City.

"Hey, Nasus, your voice is pretty good." Bai Zhaoyun teased from the side.

"Go away, go away. This is called a sense of majesty, do you understand?" Bai Yun rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

"Tsk, so pretentious." Bai Zhaoyun curled his lips to show his disdain.

Not long after, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Sang came together, followed by Li Chen who looked hurried, obviously afraid of delaying Bai Yun's important matter.

"Disciple pays respects to the Palace Master, the Deputy Palace Master, and the two elders!"

The top 100 disciples in the competition also arrived one after another and saluted to Bai Yun and others in unison.

Bai Yun glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone's performance in this sect competition is very good, especially" Bai Yun paused and his eyes fell on the figure of Li Chen in the crowd, "Li Chen, you are very good, I am very optimistic about you."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen's face flushed with excitement, and he said respectfully, "Thank you for the compliment, Palace Master."

Bai Yun smiled slightly and continued, "Okay, without further ado, let's start distributing rewards now."

"First of all, those disciples who have not passed the first two levels of the Nine-Layer Illusion Tower within these three days can leave now." As soon as Bai Yun finished speaking, eight disciples turned around and left dejectedly. The remaining ninety-two disciples looked at Bai Yun with shining eyes and expectant faces.

"Very good, it seems that the remaining ones are all people of outstanding talent and integrity." Bai Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the subject, "Next, Elder Nasus will preside over the distribution of rewards." After that, he walked down the platform and left the stage to Nasus.

Nasus walked forward slowly, glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Disciples ranked in the top 50 to 100 of the competition, step forward now."

As soon as he finished speaking, forty-two disciples immediately walked out from the crowd. Among them, there were both men and women, but without exception, their eyes were filled with desire.

Nasus didn't waste any words and gently waved his right hand. Suddenly, the Hall of Merit was filled with light, and hundreds of huge ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Of course, these soul beasts were captured by Elder Sang after he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the Moon Fox Clan and explain the situation.

"hiss--"

Seeing this shocking scene before their eyes, even these disciples who usually claimed to be fearless couldn't help but gasp.

"Fuck, these are all ten thousand year old soul beasts?"

"Oh my god, there are too many of them. There are hundreds of them!"

"This, this is too exaggerated, am I dreaming?"

……

For a moment, the entire merit hall was filled with the disciples' exclamations.

“Be quiet!” Nasus shouted softly, and a powerful wave of soul power instantly swept through the entire Hall of Merit, suppressing the exclamations of the crowd.

“Ten thousand year soul beasts are powerful, but they are not invincible. Whether you can successfully sign a cross-level contract depends on your mental strength. Of course, if a ten thousand year soul beast would rather die than surrender, the sect will not force it to sign a contract. After all, a forced melon is not sweet.” Nasus said lightly.

"Now, you can choose the soul beast of your choice." As soon as Nasus finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd. The disciples were rubbing their hands, eager to try, and they couldn't wait to rush up and get these ten thousand year old soul beasts into their pockets.

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded among the crowd.

"Deputy Palace Master, disciple, I have an unwelcome request."

The person who spoke was Zhang Tianhao, who ranked 98th in the competition. His face turned red and his eyes were full of struggle. It seemed that he mustered up great courage to say these words.

"Oh? Do you have any unreasonable request?" Nasus asked with a frown.

"Disciple, I don't want to give up my contracted soul beast - the Poisonous Blade." Zhang Tianhao took a deep breath and said with courage.

"In the past three years, I have experienced countless battles with Judufeng, and we have already established a deep relationship. In my heart, it is no longer my soul beast, but my relative and my comrade-in-arms. If I were asked to contract a new ten thousand year soul beast for power now, in my opinion, that would be a betrayal. I, I can't do it!" At the end, Zhang Tianhao's voice was choked with sobs, his eyes were full of sadness and reluctance.

“So, disciple, I dare to ask, can I change this opportunity of contracting a ten thousand year soul beast to improving the cultivation of my contracted soul beast, the Poisonous Blade, even if, even if it is only to a thousand year soul beast.” After Zhang Tianhao finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look into Nasus’ eyes, because he knew that his request was really too unreasonable.

However, to his surprise, after he said this, no one laughed at him. Instead, dozens of disciples stood up and said that they did not want to give up their contracted soul beasts either.

Bai Yun, Nasus and Bai Zhaoyun looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise and relief in each other's eyes.

“Hahaha, good, very good!” Nasus suddenly laughed out loud, his eyes full of admiration. “I was right about you, you are all great!”

“I am very happy that you have such an awareness! I am very happy!” Nasus took a deep breath and said loudly, “Then I declare that all the top 100 disciples can choose to contract a new ten thousand year soul beast, or choose to let the sect improve the cultivation of your existing soul beasts, up to about five thousand years old. As for which choice you make, it is up to you.”

As soon as these words came out, the entire merit hall exploded...

As soon as Nasus finished speaking, the entire Hall of Merit seemed to explode. The disciples were so excited that their faces turned red and they started talking at once.

"Did I hear correctly? The deputy hall master said that we can choose to improve the cultivation of the existing soul beasts?"

"A five thousand year old soul beast! This is too exaggerated!"

"I was originally worried that the change of soul beast would end the relationship between Xiaohua and I. Now it's all right. Hahaha, Xiaohua, we can continue to fight side by side!"

……

Zhang Tianhao was so excited that he was shaking all over, tears sparkling in his eyes. He raised his head abruptly, bowed deeply to Nasus, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Deputy Palace Master, for your help! Disciple, I am grateful!"

“Hahaha, no need to be so polite.” Nasus laughed heartily and waved his hand. “Alright, don’t just stand there, hurry up and summon all your spirit beasts!”

As soon as the voice fell, colorful lights lit up in the merit hall, and soul beasts of various shapes appeared in front of everyone. Among these soul beasts, some were small and some were huge, but without exception, their eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

Nasus looked around and nodded with satisfaction. Then he took a deep breath and a golden light suddenly burst out from his body. A terrifying soul wave swept around with him as the center.

"Om-"

The entire Merit Hall began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

"hiss--"

Feeling this terrifying soul fluctuation, everyone present couldn't help but gasp. Even the two Ultimate Douluo, Zhu Weng and Sang Lao, couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

"The soul power of Nasus is so terrifying!"

Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Nasus slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it towards the soul beasts in the air.

"Om-"

Rays of golden light shot out from Nasus' hands and accurately penetrated into the bodies of those soul beasts.

"Roar--"

"Ow—"

"Chirp—"

……

In an instant, the entire Hall of Merit was filled with all kinds of beast roars, deafening.

The soul beasts that were hit by the golden light expanded in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their aura was also rising rapidly.

The time of a stick of incense has passed...

Two sticks of incense have passed...

……

After an hour, the golden light on Nasus' body slowly faded. At this time, his originally ruddy face had turned extremely pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, obviously due to over-exertion.

"call--"

Nasus let out a long breath, and looked at the 42 five thousand year old soul beasts with powerful auras in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Alright, everyone, go down and cultivate your relationship with your soul beasts, and strive to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible."

"Yes, Deputy Palace Master!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples' faces showed ecstasy. They bowed respectfully to Nasus, and then couldn't wait to leave the Hall of Merit with their soul beasts.
