Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 7: Sunflowers and Strange Rocks, the So-called Shrek
Shu Yan hummed softly, then said:

"This thing was given to my grandfather by Marquis Yinxue, and my grandfather gave it to me. Now, it belongs to you, Sister Ruoruo."

Han Ruoruo took a few quick steps and took the big golden flower from Shu Yan's hand with both hands. She looked excited and happy. This big flower had a fatal temptation to her.

The golden sunflower is known as the miracle of gold. It only blooms in mountains containing rare metal veins and is extremely rare. Every golden sunflower will attract powerful soul beasts nearby to fight for and guard it when it is first born. The difficulty of obtaining it is no less than that of an ordinary person snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Han Ruoruo possesses the top-level control-type martial soul, Huangjinsheng, and its corresponding attribute is gold. The golden sunflower contains extremely pure and powerful golden energy. After taking it, it can not only help the user to temper the body and soul power, but also greatly enhance one's own golden attribute. The excellent effect makes it one of the top medicinal herbs under the fairy grass.

According to legend, if the Golden Sunflower is allowed to successfully cultivate for ten thousand years and develop spiritual intelligence, it will be reborn and officially enter the ranks of immortal herbs.

The Han family has inherited the Golden Rope martial spirit for thousands of years, and they have also found the rare herb Golden Sunflower. In addition, Han Ruoruo herself has read all kinds of books, so the moment Shu Yan took out this thing, she recognized it.

"Marquis Yinxue received favors from my grandfather when he was young. Plus, our two families have a good relationship. On my grandfather's 100th birthday, he sent this golden sunflower as a gift. Speaking of which, its original owner should have been you, Sister Ruoruo."

Shu Yan touched his nose. No matter which world, the elders always had the same ideas. Although he and Han Ruoruo were nearly fourteen years apart, in the eyes of the elders, this was a perfect match. They said that since Han Ruoruo had taken care of him as both a mother and a sister, he might as well let her take care of him for the rest of his life...

Han Ruoruo also came back to her senses, as if she saw what Shu Yan was thinking. She put the golden sunflower aside, then picked up Shu Yan's face and "ravaged" it fiercely, and then said softly:
"Don't worry about those trivial things, little kid. Practice hard and that's the right path. Come with your sister to Shrek Academy in a few years. It's home to the top talents from the three kingdoms of the original continent. The competition among these talents will help you mature and improve quickly. What do you think?"

Shu Yan just shook his head slightly and did not directly respond to Han Ruoruo's invitation.

"Let's talk about it later. Sister Ruoruo, you also said that I am still young and will not think about these things in the next few years."

Han Ruoruo's expression did not change. She picked up the golden sunflower again and then put it into the storage soul guide.

"This golden sunflower will be of great use to me, so I won't be polite to you."

"But I won't take yours for nothing. I also have a gift for you..."

As she spoke, Han Ruoruo took out a jade box from her storage soul guide and placed it in front of Shu Yan.

"The things inside were accidentally found by my friend and I while we were out on a mission. I asked professionals at Shrek Academy to identify them. Although they couldn't see what was inside, from the hint of aura it exuded, it seemed to come from some powerful dragon soul beast, and its attribute just happened to be darkness. I think this thing must be destined for you..."

Shu Yan opened the jade box, and what came into view was an irregular black stone the size of an adult's fist. At first glance, it looked very ordinary, like something you could find anywhere on the roadside, but the winding black lines on it were somewhat extraordinary.

On the right side of the stone, there was a tiny crack. After carefully sensing it, Shu Yan's pupils shrank. Then he closed the jade box, looked up at Han Ruoruo and said:
"I like this gift very much, thank you Sister Ruoruo..."

Han Ruoruo rubbed Shu Yan's head, just smiled and said nothing more.

……

By the time Han Ruoruo had packed up, the sun had already risen high. Standing in the sunlight, Han Ruoruo squatted down and hugged Shu Yan in her arms, then whispered a few words in Shu Yan's ear. Then she stood up, took out her flying soul guide, and leaped into the air, leaving only two brilliant tail flames...

……

"A soul-guided aircraft?"

Looking at the direction where Han Ruoruo was walking away, Shu Yan touched his chin and muttered.

After thinking about it, he temporarily gave up the plan of preparing a soul-guided aircraft for himself.

It is an established fact that the owner of the Yazi Martial Soul can flap his dragon wings and fly after his cultivation reaches level 30. After thousands of years of inheritance, almost all the secrets or development directions of the Yazi Martial Soul have been explored clearly, and the path chosen by Shu Yan is the one most chosen by his predecessors. He can quickly improve his strength by condensing murderous aura through killing and fighting. This is also the most suitable path for practicing the Yazi Martial Soul.

"Killing... It's a pity that the City of Slaughter has been destroyed for thousands of years, otherwise it would definitely be the most suitable place for me to go and train."

Shu Yan sighed slightly, then said nothing more and returned to the Shu family manor.

Just as Han Ruoruo said, he is still too young. What he should do is to practice hard and do his best to improve himself. If he wants to do something, he must have the corresponding ability, otherwise it will just be a daydream. Shu Yan has a deep understanding of this.

As for Han Ruoruo's invitation to him to go to Shrek Academy in the future, Shu Yan did not object, but he was not very interested either.

From the perspective of the local noble children of Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy has the best teacher and student resources in the world and the most extensive and comprehensive network of relationships. Entering it allows one to compete with the top group of people of the same age group, which can greatly promote their rapid growth and progress.

On the other hand, when it comes to teaching traditional soul masters, there is indeed no place in the entire continent that is more authoritative and professional than Shrek.

Of course, some educational methods that are too primitive cannot be included.

There are many unusual rules and concepts in Shrek Academy itself, but with thousands of years of inheritance, no one can deny that the entire Shrek Academy is like a giant ship filled with gold, silver and treasures. No one can get a detailed glimpse of how many rare treasures are hidden in it.

From the perspective of those who have been reborn, Shrek Academy is not so admired and fanatical.

The rotten pillars, backward concepts and systems, the vague and deviated positioning of the school...all these problems are real and are gradually pushing Shrek Academy to an extreme.

Shu Yan once heard his grandfather's evaluation of Shrek Academy from the perspective of the empire.

"To the three nations of the original continent today, Shrek Academy is an indispensable backbone, just like our Shu family is to the Douling Empire. But precisely because of this, Shrek Academy has gradually deviated from its original purpose of teaching and educating people, and even revealed a subtle sense of independence and arrogance, like a warlord... It has even gradually departed from the scope of a soul master academy. An academy has an influence in many areas that surpasses that of the empire. I hate to admit it, but Shrek Academy is indeed heading towards a taboo..."
