Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 72: Northern Wilderness
The heavy door slowly opened.

It had been who knows how long before Shu Yan breathed in fresh air again. He let out a long breath. The azure sky in the distance gave him a strange feeling. Looking not far away, he saw that Shu Junyou, Yu Bingyan, Han Ruoruo, Yu Ningyi and others were almost all there. The scene was so grand that it was astonishing.

Seeing Shu Yan coming out, Yu Bingyan took a few steps forward and said with some concern:

"Stinky boy, what's been going on with you lately? Why have you been in seclusion for so long, and why didn't you even leave us a letter in advance..."

Everyone looked at him with either worry or curiosity. Shu Yan smiled apologetically and then said:
"I just had a sudden realization and entered a state of enlightenment. I really didn't have time to leave a message. I'm sorry to have caused everyone to worry..."

"Epiphany!?"

Yu Mengdi, who was standing behind the crowd, suddenly became interested when she heard this. The look she gave Shu Yan changed from a hint of worry to envy and jealousy.

Enlightenment is one of the opportunities that every soul master desires to obtain. Every enlightenment brings huge improvement to the soul master, and this improvement is not only limited to the cultivation of soul power, but more on the level of state of mind.

There are many ways to improve soul power level, but there are very few ways to improve the state of mind. Every epiphany is an extremely rare opportunity for soul masters.

Under the premise that the gains must be significant, each soul master's enlightenment time is at least three days or more, but it is rare for a soul master to have enlightenment for such a long time like Shu Yan.

Seeing that Shu Yan was safe and sound and even his aura had become stronger, everyone's worries gradually dissipated.

Shu Yan glanced at everyone's face, and then said helplessly:

"Is there any kindhearted person who can tell me how long I have been practicing? The way you look at me gives me the illusion that I have been practicing for several months."

Everyone just chuckled and looked at Shu Yan. Finally, Han Ruoruo couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said softly:
"From the day you went into seclusion, Ayan, it has been almost eleven days. It's not that long."

"Eleven days..."

Shu Yan nodded, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

Shrek Academy only has a one-month vacation, and he spent nearly half of it on this collaboration with the Finance of Life. He will probably have to accompany Han Ruoruo on soul hunting next, so he probably won't have much free time left.

"Let's go, let's go, the brat is fine, everyone, don't worry about it."

Yu Bingyan asked everyone to leave. Shu Yan's punch just now had caused quite a noise, and everyone's spirit power level was not weak, so they naturally sensed the abnormality here, and that's why they all gathered here.

Now that it was confirmed that there were no emergencies, everyone naturally did what they had to do. As for Han Ruoruo, she naturally stayed.

……

In the pavilion by the lake.

Shu Yan and Han Ruoruo sat in front of the stone table, chatting quietly. The atmosphere was so good that there was no room for a third person to fit in.

As they chatted, Shu Yan said with a hint of apology:

"Sister Ruoruo, my seclusion this time has delayed your soul hunting..."

Han Ruoruo shook her head slightly, then she said seriously:

"I won't feel at ease until I see you come out safely. Under these circumstances, it's not a rational decision for me to go soul hunting."

"It's important to have a peaceful mind when absorbing soul rings. In my case, even if I successfully hunt down a suitable soul beast, I'm afraid that my mood will be affected when absorbing the soul ring. If something unexpected happens, it will be more trouble than it's worth." Shu Yan smiled lightly, and he admired Han Ruoruo's rationality.

The first thought of ordinary soul masters after a breakthrough is to hunt souls as soon as possible to obtain soul rings and advance. Even waiting for one more day is like a huge torture for them. Shu Yan can understand this feeling, but Shu Yan does not advocate this behavior.

To be honest, if you rush into a soul beast gathering place without making sufficient preparations before hunting souls, it will be the same as death.

Of course, if you have a Titled Douluo or even a Super Douluo by your side, then just ignore what Shu Yan said.

"With more than ten days to spare, I'm sure Sister Ruoruo and the others have already completed their preparations. How about this? We'll set off tomorrow. If we're lucky enough, we'll be back in half a month at most."

Shu Yan said softly.

Han Ruoruo agreed without any hesitation. Shu Yan's ideas coincided with hers. In Han Ruoruo's eyes, this was simply a telepathic connection!

……

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, when it was still light, the group took off and flew towards the north.

There weren't too many people on this trip, but there were still two Titled Douluo.

Since his granddaughter obtained her eighth soul ring, the old man of the Han family naturally had to follow. Shu Junyou and his wife also came to express their importance to their future daughter-in-law. Together with Han Feng, the head of the Han family, and a soul douluo of the Han family, these were all the members of this trip.

The old man of the Han family is more than ten years older than Shu Hong, but his soul power is still stuck at level 92 and cannot be improved.

It is said that the old man injured his origin foundation when he obtained the ninth soul ring. Even though he was later treated by the Ye family, the damage caused to the old man's body by that accident was too great. Otherwise, with the old man's talent, even if he could not become a Super Douluo, he would not be trapped at level 92 for decades.

It is worth mentioning that this old man is one of the few people in the Han family who dislikes Shu Yan.

The reason is very simple. When this old man was young, he was always suppressed by Shu Hong, who was more than ten years younger than him. Even when he was older, he was still suppressed by Shu Hong.

The two old men have been both enemies and friends for nearly a hundred years. Although they still dislike each other, they have developed a very deep friendship over the past hundred years. Although the old man has some opinions about Shu Yan for some reason, he has always been clear about major issues. The last time the Shu family wanted to go to the ocean to hunt a hundred thousand year soul beast, he was the first to step forward to help.

……

The further north you go, the lower the temperature.

Part of the northernmost area of ​​that wild land has entered the realm of the Far North, where various extremely harsh environments are intertwined. Even a vast forest like the Star Dou Great Forest is far less cruel than there.

The group traveled at a very fast speed, and within a day, they arrived at the outskirts of that wild land.

The beautiful Tianling Mountains have completely transformed into a different scene here.

Looking into the distance, only various low shrubs are left on the surrounding mountains. Affected by the living environment, there is not much green on them. Most of them are even dark colors like black and brown. Combined with the dark sky, it gives people a very depressing feeling.

Even the knowledgeable old man of the Han family couldn't help but sigh. This kind of place is obviously where freaks are born!

I believe this trip will not disappoint them...
