Chapter 5. The Law of Dead Soul Island

Instructor Zhang led Li Ye to continue to shuttle across the bridge. Li Ye couldn't help but ask: "Instructor, where are we going now?"

"Go to the test square first and test your situation, then we'll make arrangements." Instructor Zhang replied expressionlessly.

Without looking at Li Ye's expression, Instructor Zhang continued, "It's just ahead. We'll be there soon."

After a while, they arrived at the test square.

The square was very busy because the new group of people who had been taking the test a few days before had come over to watch the fun.

The instructors on the Dead Soul Island like to leave the new recruits alone for several days, waiting for their psychological defenses to be broken. They then gather them in this square for the so-called "freshman education", conduct aptitude tests, and finally divide them into classes according to the test results.

Li Ye was lucky enough to catch up with the "freshman education"

when.

Li Ye saw several young men standing in the center of the square. One of them was wearing tattered clothes and had messy black hair. He lowered his head, hiding his eyes in the shadows, and his whole body was shaking slightly.

He seemed out of place with the children around him who had tears and snot on their faces but couldn't help looking around.

"That seems to be Cao Yanbing. Is it during this time period?" Li Ye thought.

"No, Huangfu Longdou rebelled against the Spirit Realm ten years before the plot began, but Cao Yanbing entered the Island of Dead Souls not during this period?" Li Ye was very confused.

"Could it be that my arrival has caused any impact on this world?" Li Ye could only think so.

Instructor Zhang spoke a few words to the burly man in front of the group of teenagers, then turned and left.

The burly man said to Li Ye, "You, join the ranks."

Li Ye immediately joined the team and stood at the end of the team.

He looked carefully at the young man with his head lowered, and was not sure whether it was Cao Yanbing.

"Hey, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but in the end I still don't know whether it is Cao Yanbing or not." A faint sense of speechlessness flashed through Li Ye's heart.

Not far away, a group of young men in blue robes were peering in from the gate, grinning. Many of them rushed directly up to the tower, fearing that they would miss the embarrassment and fear of the newcomers when they first arrived at the Dead Soul Island.

"Humph, now there's something interesting to watch."

"Do you want to make a bet this time?"

"Are you betting on who will cry first or who will run away first?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

The three young men in blue clothes leaned against the city gate and laughed mockingly, as if they felt a sense of accomplishment in teasing and bullying the newcomers.

The other people around them also looked at the newcomers with different expressions. After all, they all came this way.

"Look, a bunch of handsome young men." The three young men in blue who had been shouting to place bets and watch the joke, the round-headed fat boy on the left raised his eyebrows into an 8 shape, supported his chin with his left hand and laughed.

The boy on the right, with a few pockmarks scattered on his fair face, grinned, "Old rules, place your bets now."

The tall and thin boy in the middle, with his hair hanging down on his head and a plaster on his face, smiled contemptuously, "Tsk, it's horrible, it looks like no one can fight. I guess they will cry in fear later."

In the square, a burly man stood on the stage, looking down at the group of teenagers in front of him with an indifferent expression. The sound of waves in the surrounding sea rose and fell.

He said coldly, "Little ghosts, welcome to the Dead Soul Island. Coming here means that you are all soul-hosting people, and you are all candidates for the Soul-Suppressing General. Moreover, you almost have no way out. After all, most of those who come here are orphans."

The man paused and continued, "Next, I will tell you about the laws and rules of Dead Soul Island." The man's voice became colder and colder.

Whether they were frightened by the momentum or reminded of sad memories, the dried tears of the newcomers welled up in their eyes again. And the boy who had kept his head down was still trembling slightly. The round-headed fat boy was surprised, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help laughing: "Ah? It's starting already? Hahaha, too bad!"

"I bet none of them would dare to escape after hearing the rules here."

"I bet on that. Look, he's shaking with fear. I bet he'll be the first one to cry out. Hahaha." The pockmarked boy pointed at the boy who lowered his head and couldn't help laughing.

A thin young man with white hair and blue clothes quietly landed on a city wall, his eyes narrowed like a white fox, and a smile on his face was as gentle as spring breeze.

"You all have to receive training here before you turn eighteen. If you still haven't reached the requirements after you reach adulthood, we will use our spiritual power to erase your memories of this place and send you back to the human world. Compared to some descendants of spirit-hosting people who are born without spiritual power and can only survive in the underworld, you are already lucky."

"The specific requirements are: "If ordinary students fail to reach the level of Zhonghe after three years, their memories will be deleted and they will be sent back. If genius students fail to reach the level of Dashuai after three years, they will be stranded on Dead Soul Island for two years. After two years, they must reach the level of Jiaore, otherwise their memories will be deleted and they will be sent back."

As the boy with his head down trembled more and more violently, the middle-aged man also looked away.

Is this General Cao's son? Is he so unbearable?

"He's going to cry, he's going to cry! I win!" The pockmarked boy couldn't help but grinning.

At this moment, the young man suddenly raised his dirty face, his dark red eyes full of unyielding spirit.

The white-haired young man squatting on the city wall had curved eyebrows and a more intense smile.

"Hahaha, you lose."

"hey-hey."

Just as a few people were chatting and laughing, something strange happened and the expressions of the blue-clad students who were watching changed drastically.

The young man leaped backwards without looking back, and fell into the dark and deep sea with a splash.

"You lost too." The pockmarked boy did not forget to retort to the tall and thin boy in the middle. Both of them looked unhappy, only the round-headed fat boy was laughing smugly on the side.

The white-haired boy next to him murmured softly, "Interesting."

It seemed that he knew that these newcomers were still hoping for a lucky break and might still be thinking about how to escape. So he continued:
“I forgot to tell you that the sea area where the Dead Soul Island is located is a little special. No matter what falls into the water, it will only sink. No matter how good you are at swimming, you will not be able to swim out. So, don’t even think about escaping.” The burly man’s cold words shattered the last bit of hope left in the newcomers’ hearts.

"From ancient times to now, there are only two ways for you to leave Dead Soul Island. Either become a Soul Suppressor, or erase your memory at the age of eighteen and be thrown back into the human world. There is no other way! Since the existence of Dead Soul Island, no one has escaped!"

It was pitch black and cold all around, and my body had no foothold and I couldn't stop sinking. Below me was an unknown endless abyss, so deep and terrifying that even the light was swallowed up.

Cao Yanbing couldn't control his body at all, and he tried to wave his arms but to no avail. He hurriedly mobilized the little burning spiritual power in his body, but it was strangely swallowed by the sea water, as if an indescribable thing was consuming the spiritual power.

He tried everything he could do, but nothing worked. Due to lack of oxygen, Cao Yanbing's consciousness gradually faded and his pupils began to dilate.

Xiaoliang, wait for your brother, he will definitely come back!
The burly man raised his eyebrows, thinking that the time was almost up, so he decided to kill this kid to show off his power. He stretched out his hand, and the green spiritual power quickly gathered, and a long spiritual power whip reached into the water like a dragon.

In a blink of an eye, the long whip of spiritual power wrapped around the half-conscious and soaked Cao Yanbing and stopped him in the air.

The burly man said in a cold voice, "I wish you a happy childhood on Dead Soul Island."

Cao Yanbing enters the Island of Dead Souls. Whether he can escape from here as he wishes, everything ahead is confusing.

Li Ye looked at the familiar scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache. What just happened was clearly the plot of Cao Yanbing's first entry into the Island of Dead Souls. During this period of time, Cao Yanbing's parents had died in the battle, and the tampering of the underworld calendar had already occurred.

But what did Huangfu Longdou mean by going to settle accounts with the Spirit Realm? Could it be that Xingtian’s battle against the Wheel of Divine Pearl was another battle?

After thinking it over, he felt that it was after the incident of tampering with the underworld calendar, Tang Xiaoxiao died in battle, Cao Yanming made a deal with Azazel, Huangfu Longdou fled. After a while, Huangfu Longdou returned to fight against the spirit realm alone.
