Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 61: Abnormal Thoughts, Observations from the Outer Courtyard (3k)

The departure of Shu Junyou and Yu Bingyan did not have much impact on Shu Yan's life.

After breaking through to the Soul King level, his control over the power of space has reached a higher level. At the same time, his understanding of the mysteries of space has gradually improved and progressed to a deeper level.

The speculations that Xuan Zi had mentioned before are gradually becoming a reality. As his control and understanding of the power of space deepens, Shu Yan's control over the power of time has finally taken a small step forward.

But there was one thing that made Shu Yan a little distressed.

That is, his mental strength does not seem to be strong enough.

Compared to ordinary Soul Kings, Shu Yan's spiritual power was undoubtedly extremely powerful and outstanding, even many Soul Emperors could not compare with him. But in the final analysis, he was not a spiritual attribute Soul Master, and the secret method of tempering spiritual power could only be effective to a limited extent. As his cultivation level increased, the effect of this secret method was gradually reduced, and now it was far from meeting Shu Yan's requirements.

In this situation, the only thing he could do was to seek other ways to accelerate the growth of his mental power.

However, he has temporarily ruled out the method of absorbing soul bones. With his current strength, he cannot obtain a spiritual head soul bone that is more than 100,000 years old... The choice between the head soul bone and the torso soul bone is the most special and important among the six soul bones that can be absorbed by the human body.

The soul bones in the limbs can be replaced through special secret methods or even other means, but there has never been a precedent for successfully separating or even replacing the soul bones in the head and torso. Even replacing the soul bones in the limbs is a very risky thing to some extent.

For example, Master Zhuang of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy has a precedent of using soul bones to regenerate severed limbs, but the price to pay for doing so is extremely high, and even Master Zhuang is not absolutely sure of success. Once failed, not only will the severed limbs not be regenerated, but the injured person himself will also suffer backlash. In the end, worsening of the injury is a minor matter, but if he loses his life, it is no longer a trivial matter.

However, this situation is slowly being resolved. In this era, under the impact of the advanced soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire, many traditional soul master schools in the three countries of the original continent feel a great threat, but this is not just a bad thing.

In such an environment, the various paths and secret methods for soul masters to advance in cultivation are also being updated and iterated at a rapid pace.

The potential that people can unleash under pressure is beyond their imagination. But at the same time, this also indirectly illustrates the deformity and distortion of the concepts and social development of Douluo Continent from ancient times to the present.

For example, just talking about the three kingdoms of the original continent, after winning the war with great difficulty more than 4,000 years ago, many people in the three empires subconsciously had no idea of ​​learning from each other's strengths and overcoming their weaknesses. No matter how advanced and powerful the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire was, they always stubbornly believed that the traditional soul master school was the most powerful and stable.

This stubborn idea has continued to this day, more than four thousand years later. Even Shrek Academy, the leader of the continent, still adheres to this concept and idea.

The reason why the soul guide technology of the three countries in the original continent is so backward is partly due to the technological blockade from the Sun-Moon Empire, but in the final analysis, the most important reason is that nearly 90% of the senior officials of the three countries in the original continent have always been complacent.

In this situation, the awakening of one or two people cannot change the reality.

Thoughts are always the biggest obstacle to human development. Just like many students in the inner and outer courtyards of Shrek Academy, they are constantly indoctrinated with the idea of ​​maintaining the eternal glory of Shrek Academy before their own values ​​are fully mature. Through this kind of brainwashing-like thought control, they are even willing to sacrifice their lives to embark on a road of no return for the reputation of the academy.

This is not something to celebrate; on the contrary, it is very sad.

Many of them were geniuses or heirs that a soul master family had done their utmost to cultivate, but after arriving at Shrek Academy, they gradually forgot their original intentions of coming here, and even gave up returning to their families and settled down in Shrek Academy instead.

This situation really exists. After truly joining Shrek Academy, it is equivalent to drawing a clear line with the original family. Influenced by the internal atmosphere and ideas of Shrek Academy, it is only a matter of time for their thoughts to be completely changed.

To some extent, Shrek Academy is a microcosm of the entire world, deformed and twisted, bright and dirty...

……

When a school year is about to end, it is always the time when countless foreign students are most happy and worried.

The good news is that they are about to have a one-month vacation. During this month's vacation, they can return to their long-missed hometown to see their relatives, and they can also vent the fatigue accumulated from studying and practicing for a year.

What I am worried about is the entrance examination for promotion to higher grades when school starts after this one-month holiday.

However, the students in the inner courtyard did not have any worries in this regard. Those who were ready to go home were ready to go home, and those who were ready to stay in school continued to stay. Some of them even agreed to go to the mainland for some training within this month, which could be regarded as a way to broaden their horizons.

Shu Yan and Han Ruoruo's plan has been mentioned before. Han Ruoruo is about to break through to the Soul Douluo level, so they will naturally have to go back to Lingdou City at that time.

Walking on the path in the outer courtyard near Poseidon Lake, Shu Yan felt inexplicably emotional.

When he first came to Shrek Academy, he was led by Han Ruoruo to walk on this path. Now, nearly a year has passed, and he set foot on this path with Han Ruoruo again. His state of mind has become completely different from before, and the scenery in front of him seems to have become more beautiful.

Han Ruoruo beside him tugged at the hem of his red school uniform in confusion, then whispered:

"That shouldn't be the case. I remember it was just right when I wore it last month..."

Shu Yan glanced sideways, then jokingly said:
"Han Ruoruo, you've gained weight again..."

Han Ruoruo glared at Shu Yan angrily after hearing this, and then said angrily:

"You're the one who's gained weight. I have such a regular diet, there's no way I could gain a bit of weight!!" "Oh, really? Then why can't someone's zipper be zipped up again? Is the zipper broken?"

The smile on Shu Yan's face became even wider. At the same time, he secretly glanced at the roundness and fullness in front of Han Ruoruo, and couldn't help but admire Han Ruoruo's extraordinary talent in his heart.

Look, this is not inferior to the mature beauty Gu Yun...

Han Ruoruo also noticed Shu Yan's gaze. She pulled her tight school uniform again uncomfortably, and a faint blush appeared on her fair face.

She could feel that Shu Yan's gaze towards her was becoming more and more direct and aggressive. She felt shy but also a little secretly happy. It seemed that her judgment was correct. Shu Yan just liked her to be rounder and fuller.

When some boys and girls really like someone, they will unconsciously move towards the appearance that the other person likes. In order to achieve the current scale, Han Ruoruo has done a lot of research and effort in the past six months.

Taking advantage of the moment when Shu Yan wasn't paying attention, Han Ruoruo looked down and found that she couldn't see her toes. Her thoughts gradually drifted away, thinking that this way the baby probably wouldn't be hungry in the future...

Hmm... a certain pervert can't starve anymore...

Han Ruoruo said that she had absolutely not read any pornographic books that could not be known by others in the past six months...

Thinking of these things, Han Ruoruo felt her whole body getting hot.

She is the student who loves reading the most in the entire inner courtyard, but she used to read only serious history books or even books about martial spirit research. How did she come into contact with those indescribable books?
Then we have to ask Hua Yao, the quiet and gentle lotus fairy...

After confirming her relationship with Gu Fan, the two of them moved in together within a few days, and their daily life was as sweet as honey. The Lotus Fairy also gradually found another thing worth her attention besides cultivation...

But this is really hard for Gu Fan. Just last month, when Shu Yan met Gu Fan in the cafeteria, he was shocked. The originally mature and stable Gu Fan actually walked a little unsteadily, and he looked listless, as if he was drained of energy and emptiness.

Seeing Shu Yan, Gu Fan forced a smile and greeted him, then was pulled out of the cafeteria by Hua Yao.

For some reason, Shu Yan always felt that Gu Fan's smile had some resentment in it. Thinking about it now, Shu Yan could only sigh silently...

Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance!
Who knew that the Lotus Fairy, who looked so quiet and gentle on the outside, was actually so powerful in private...

Thinking of this, Shu Yan turned his head to look at Han Ruoruo, who was becoming more mature and sexy, and fell into deep thought.

Han Ruoruo was already twenty-six years old, four years away from thirty, the first watershed in a woman's life. As the saying goes, a woman at thirty is like a wolf, and at forty is like a tiger. One can imagine how terrifying Han Ruoruo was at this age...

The two people walking side by side were thinking about different things, until several figures suddenly appeared at the corner ahead, which brought them back from their thoughts.

Under the shade of the tree, the five figures seemed to be stunned for a moment. Finally, Xu Sanshi, who had met Shu Yan once before, was the first to come back to his senses. He immediately loosened his arms around Beibei's shoulders and said:

"Hello, seniors..."

The man and woman beside him glanced at the red school uniforms of Shu Yan and the other man with some surprise, and then said:

"Hello, seniors..."

Shu Yan and Han Ruoruo also greeted them. At the same time, Shu Yan was observing the boy and girl in purple school uniforms.

The boy standing next to Xu Sanshi looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome and elegant face, and short dark blue hair that shone like a gem in the sun. He gave people a very gentle feeling, but underneath this gentleness there seemed to be a hint of danger.

The girl next to the young man had a high ponytail and a flawless face, which was extremely outstanding even among the beauties Shu Yan had seen.

Han Ruoruo was also a little surprised, but soon she recognized the three people in front of her, then chuckled and said:
"You must be Xu Sanshi, Beibei, and Tang Ya from the outer courtyard, right?"

Xu Sanshi was a little surprised, and then said:

"Senior, do you know us?"

Han Ruoruo glanced at the three of them again, still chuckling:

"Of course I've heard of the famous twin sisters from the outer courtyard. Junior sister Tang Ya is also a famous beauty from the outer courtyard. When the three of you get together, you are very recognizable..."
