Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

The one who understands best what abilities a martial soul possesses is undoubtedly its consciousness. Lanlan's intelligence is insufficient to comprehend what life-stealing means; she only knows that activating this aspect of the martial soul's abilities will allow Tang Ya's desire to rapidly increase her soul power level to be fulfilled.

Fortunately, Tang Ya's condition was discovered in time; Lan Lan had not yet fully activated the bloodthirsty genes hidden within Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass martial soul. In other words, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass martial soul was not yet in a critical state, not to the point where only the Blue Silver Emperor could save it.

Having a general understanding of Tang Ya's situation, Long You was no longer in a hurry. As for his own judgment, there was no need to reveal it now.

Every Soul Master who reaches the Super Douluo level is a master of Martial Soul research. Letting Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er think about this from their own perspectives should allow them to discover points that Long You hasn't considered yet. If Long You were to share his speculations, while it might not actually have any real impact on the two deans, it would still be an obstacle to their thinking.

The soul tool examination process wasn't very long, and the report was simultaneously sent to Fan Yu. After returning to Fan Yu's office, Long You and the others underwent another manual physical examination by the two deans.

After three rounds of checks, Long You, He Caitou, and Bei Bei were expelled without charge—no, they were dismissed without cause—while Tang Ya was placed on probation.

The deans of Shrek Academy are truly impressive. Although Long You didn't say a word, the two deans, especially Dean Xian Lin'er, the official dean of the Soul Guidance Department who rarely appeared, immediately discovered the pathogen after understanding the characteristics of the Martial Soul Consciousness and forcibly communicating with it.

Tang Ya stayed at school to receive treatment from the two deans, and Bei Bei would definitely stay to accompany her. With two less combatants, Long You and He Caitou dared not go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Knowing their physical limits, everyone aimed to surpass the normal absorption limits when acquiring their fourth spirit ring. With their current strength, it was safer to have more people to deal with seven- or eight-thousand-year-old spirit beasts.

We've already waited four or five months, so what's another two or three? Long You, He Caitou (this kid treats the academy like his home, and can only stay there during holidays), and Bei Bei made a promise to wait until at least half a month before the end of the holiday.

Before this time limit, Longyou is willing to wait for everyone to team up and go to the Star Dou Great Forest. But if the time limit is exceeded, Longyou will have to abandon his friends and call his parents.

On the journey back to Tiandou City, without his companions, Longyou no longer insisted on traveling by land.

Seeing that it was still early, Long You did not choose to stay in the academy for another day. Instead, he stepped onto the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard and left the academy area. Then, he stretched out his flying soul-guided device and soared into the sky.

Through the optimization and deduction of the Book of Witness, the flying soul tool that Long You is now using is no longer the clumsy and bulky flying soul tool that was commonly used in the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms.

Considering his limited imagination, Long You directly borrowed the design of the flight soul tool he optimized from the flight suit of the Marvel superhero Falcon.

Considering that the aerial realm of Douluo Continent is still in a primitive stage, in order to ensure his safety, Long You wore a full set of soul guide armor while piloting the flying soul guide device.

While it's called a mecha, "powered armor" would be a more accurate description. Because Long You's soul power level is insufficient and his physical strength is inadequate, he can neither build nor control mechas similar to those found in Gundam or Pacific Rim.

The entire Soul Guidance Mech is matte black, and its appearance is very similar to that of the Halo Master Chief's equipment. Hmm, this is yet another strong example of Longyou's practice of "borrowing" technology.

The Soul Guidance Mech is equipped with many Soul Guidance Devices. Due to the rabbit's ancestral fear of insufficient firepower, Long You added enough firepower to the mech when making this mech to eliminate the enemy in the way of the charge.

In any case, the task of controlling these soul tools on the mecha can be left to Bourne, so Long You doesn't need to do it himself. In addition, the mecha has a built-in energy module, so except for occasions like the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, Long You doesn't need to worry about the mecha's combat endurance.

Inside the cockpit of his mecha, Long You marked his destination on the map and then closed his eyes to rest. Although he couldn't compare to Yi Yi of Fan Yu, Bourne's ability to pilot mechas and flight soul tools was still trustworthy.

Going home is something that can relax both body and mind. Without needing to provide soul power to the soul-guided mecha or control it himself, Long You actually fell asleep in the mecha's cockpit.

Long You only opened his eyes, somewhat bewildered, when the "beep beep beep" notification sounded in the cockpit indicating that the destination had been reached.

Normally, Long You would enter the Pearl of Imagination to practice various things as soon as he fell asleep, but this unexpected sleep was a rare natural sleep for Long You in recent years.

He stretched his neck slightly. The cockpit wasn't very spacious, and he hadn't had a deep sleep, so Long You felt stiff all over. However, the sense of ease he felt upon waking was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

After awakening his martial spirit, Long You has been busy with various goals. Although he has no shortage of physical rest, he rarely has time to relax mentally.

Now, after a period of relaxing sleep where he didn't think about anything or practice anything, Long You felt a sense of renewal from the depths of his soul.

After activating his soul-guided detection device and confirming that no one was watching him, Long You picked up Bourne and left the soul-guided mech that had transported him from outside Shrek City to outside Heaven Dou City.

Putting away his mecha and checking the time, Long You saw there was still some time before the gates of Tian Dou City closed, so he didn't bother taking out the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard again. He walked leisurely out of the woods outside the city and along the edge of the official road towards Tian Dou City, whose outline was already visible in the distance.

Heaven Dou City is different from Shrek City. The residents of Shrek City are used to soul tools and soul masters. Although they find anti-gravity soul tool skateboards novel, they are not surprised.

However, in Tiandou City, if Long You dared to swagger around on the street riding an anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard, being invited for tea by the Tiandou City patrol battalion would basically be a foregone conclusion.

Having entered the city before the gates closed, and with a hungry stomach, Long You lost interest in wandering around Tiandou City and hurried straight to his own courtyard.

The signboard of the vegetarian restaurant in the front yard remained unchanged, indicating that the family had continued to live comfortably in Tiandou City for the past year.

The same old maid from his childhood opened the side gate to the backyard for Long You. Everything was so familiar, and just as Long You thought he was about to receive a loving hug from his parents, the joy of returning home took a sharp turn for the worse.
