...The long-lost warmth from my family...
In an instant, all the fatigue accumulated in Shrek Academy seemed to disappear.
"Do you want me to hug you too?" Long Xiaoyao, with An Wen hanging on his shoulders, turned his head to look at the master and disciple Lu Mingyou who were hugging each other affectionately, and said to Wang Rui with some ill intentions, "Rui, you look so unsociable."
Wang Rui became alert. His intuition told him that his old friend was up to no good. After all, it was a good tradition among bad friends to trick each other. He quickly backed away: "No, no, no, don't—"
However, before he could finish his words, Long Xiaoyao grabbed him and picked him up - he even used the strength of an Extreme Douluo. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who currently had only the strength of a Soul Master, naturally could not resist. He could only be picked up under the armpit like a kitten and spun around for several circles.
Wang Rui was about to curse when he heard a very soft voice: "The one at the bottom of the lake woke up before An Wen transformed."
Wang Rui's pupils shrank.
This way...it all makes sense.
Bai Chenxiang is a 100,000-year-old sharp-tailed swift. Her combat power is not high, but her speed is definitely top-notch. And Jade City is so close to Shrek Academy... With her by Wang Rui's side, if he encounters any danger, as long as it is not a one-shot kill, she can go back to Xingdou to bring in a savior.
Wang Rui possesses the power of destiny and carries a bunch of advanced soul guides on him. In the most critical situation, he can even transform back to his original form. It can be said that the only place on Douluo Continent where he can die without struggling is the place that is completely controlled by the gods.
For example... the Qiankun Valley of Love, where the questioning of love is opened, and even the Sea God Island cannot be considered that desperate.
But Wang Rui is not an idiot, and he won’t go there on his own initiative.
Therefore, no matter from which perspective, there is no need for An Wen to bring Di Tian's reverse scale to Shrek Academy.
When she transformed, she must not have known that the Netherworld Spear could replace her own body as her martial spirit, nor did she know that she could transform between her body and human form and not be restricted by the human lifespan.
That is to say, the situation at that time...either you become a god in two hundred years, or you die and leave your soul behind.
Wang Rui can see that Anwen still has the mentality of a child. He is so happy that Anwen is almost going crazy at the thought of being able to transform into a human and come to the human world to find him.
But why did Di Tian allow her to transform?
Wang Rui had actually had some doubts all along, but it was not until Long Xiaoyao brought him this news that he finally made up his mind.
This is a knock, a knock from the One at the bottom of the lake of life.
Because Di Tian indulged him in letting the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm go, he did not pursue the matter.
It is true that the Fierce Beast Sect absorbed the vitality of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in the Great Evil Land, but in reality, how could they absorb all of Tianmeng's power that had accumulated for millions of years?
No ferocious beast dared to let go and absorb his vitality.
After reaching 100,000 years of cultivation, the heavenly tribulation is like a knife hanging over the soul beast's head. Although theoretically, there will be a heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years, in reality, the heavenly tribulation will not strictly follow the time.
The faster the soul beast's cultivation level improves, the faster the heavenly tribulation will come.
Brigitte has cultivated for 580,000 years and survived five disasters...her actual age is only a little over 100,000 years old.
Absorbing a moderate amount of Tianmeng's vitality is good for the ferocious beast, but unless the heavenly calamity is imminent, absorbing too much will be a death warrant.
The bulk of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's power is provided to the Silver Dragon King for healing.
When Di Tian let Tian Meng go, it was a clear sign of taking sides.
And he will eventually pay the price for taking a stand this time.
Wang Rui expected that the Silver Dragon King would react, but he did not expect that this time the Silver Dragon King would react so quickly... She seemed to have woken up too frequently recently, which was not a good sign.
The blood suppression between the dragons is absolute, and the strictness of the system does not entirely depend on strength... not to mention the strength of the Silver Dragon King. Unless a god is born, no one can defeat her.
I'm afraid Di Tian has no way to resist his "master", and he probably still has expectations for the Silver Dragon King.
...In fact, from a series of things that happened ten thousand years later in the original work, we can see that it is really difficult for Di Tian to be disappointed with the half of the Dragon God that represents wisdom.
What lies between Wang Rui and the Silver Dragon King is not only the conflict between the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and the Silver Dragon King over the Dragon God's throne, but also a complete political conflict - the most crucial part is the part related to humans.
It is actually very difficult for a two-headed snake with two consciousnesses to survive.
The same may be true of a forest commanded by two voices.
However, these thoughts flashed through Wang Rui's mind quickly, and were hidden without a trace the moment he landed.
At least there were no clues on his face.
As soon as the red-haired boy landed on the ground, he immediately took three steps back. He seemed not to have heard what was said just now. There was only obvious disgust on his face: "I have news to tell you."
In the spirit of "If I'm not happy, no one else can be happy", Wang Rui said to Long Xiaoyao in a sinister tone: "Your old friend at Shrek Academy thinks you and Di Feng are having an affair. He thinks An Wen is your granddaughter."
Huo Yuqing heard another unfamiliar name and looked up curiously, only to see Long Xiaoyao coughing madly as if something was stuck in his throat.
"How could he be having an affair with Di Feng... No! Xiaolong is not my grandfather!" The eldest brother, Anwen, who was two generations younger than him for no reason, screamed unhappily.
"Hehe, no! I and... I are absolutely innocent! How did he come to such a disgusting conclusion?" Long Xiaoyao also tried desperately to clarify in horror. He stared at Wang Rui, and his expression looked like an oil painting from another world called "The Scream".
A soft chuckle came from the side. The man and two cats who were trying to sabotage each other turned their heads and saw Lu Mingyou covering his mouth to hold back his laughter.
Noticing that their eyes were focused on her, the elegant lady looked meaningfully between the three people, with an expression of having just eaten a melon on her face: "Oh ~ A story about two men and two women ~"
Before Wang Rui could say anything, a cheerful female voice saved everyone from the whirlpool of gossip.
Jiang Nannan was waving at them.
The girl trotted over, her golden curly hair tied into a high ponytail swinging behind her, looking playful and pretty.
She greeted Long Xiaoyao with a smile, rubbed the tops of Huo Yuqing and Wang Rui's heads, and then pulled Lu Mingyou's arm, looking like she was about to cry: "Teacher is partial. You didn't come to pick me up last year... Are you here to pick up your junior brother this year, and are you thinking of picking up a poor senior disciple like me?"
She is much more cheerful than the cold and aloof bunny girl in the original book.
Although Jiang Nannan was complaining, her tone was full of coquettishness. In fact, she didn't care about this matter, otherwise she wouldn't bring it up.
Lu Mingyou shook his head, stretched out his index finger and tapped her nose, saying angrily: "You are such a mischievous little ghost... And, it's not Junior Brother, it's Junior Sister."
Jiang Nannan turned her head suddenly.
Huo Yuqing was also surprised. She asked in a low voice with a guilty conscience, "Teacher...you...you know?"
"Of course." Lu Mingyou smiled, "I guess you didn't tell Wang Rui to keep it a secret?"
In fact, it was Bai Chenxiang who leaked this matter. After all, Huo Yuqing never acted again when she was alone with Wang Rui after being exposed. Secretary Bai had to report such a big thing as Ruishou's brother becoming his wife... But Lu Mingyou had no sense of public morality and put the blame on Wang Rui.
Wang Rui glared at her and could only accept his fate and take the blame: "It's my fault. I did that without your consent..."
"It doesn't matter! After all, I was the one who hid it first... I'm sorry." Huo Yuqing said in a low voice, and she explained why she dressed as a man.
Thinking of the situation in the Shrek dormitory, Jiang Nannan turned around and stared at Wang Rui silently... There was nothing but condemnation in her big eyes.
Wang Rui: Fuck
Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to wash yourself away.
The emperor's auspicious beast, social death crisis!
122. Chapter 120: Set off! Moon Shadow Caravan!
122.
2023-11-08
The group separated after leaving Shrek's main entrance square.
Anwen followed Long Xiaoyao back to Xingdou, while Lu Mingyou took Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuqing, and Wang Rui towards Shrek City.
The main gate of Shrek Academy is not connected to Shrek City. After they exit the square in front of the main gate of Shrek, they still need to go around for some distance.
The road leading to Shrek City is filled with luxurious carriages.
Before the soul energy storage technology, also known as the bottle technology, was thoroughly simplified and popularized, it was actually difficult for the soul-guided vehicles that had just appeared to completely replace the horse-drawn carriages.
Both New City and the Sun-Moon Empire have indeed mastered the most advanced soul-guided energy storage technology of the era, but on the one hand, it is expensive and not streamlined enough, and on the other hand, there are too many places where this technology is needed.
Third… this technology still needs to be kept secret, and it’s not time to make it public yet.
If soul power can only be provided in real time by soul masters, the soul guide vehicle will no longer have any advantages.
Flying soul guides also require soul masters to input soul power to control them. However, soul guide vehicles are not as fast or flexible as flying soul guides, and they consume more soul power.
The soul power of low-level soul masters can hardly support the long-term consumption of soul guide vehicles. They need to spend a lot of time to recover their soul power after operating the soul guide for a period of time, so it is naturally difficult to improve their efficiency.
Is it possible to let those high-level soul masters drive the car themselves?
If you don't want to use a flying soul guide device, it is natural to choose an animal-powered cart instead of a soul guide vehicle, which is more worry-free.
Most of the livestock chosen to pull carts in Douluo Continent are breeds with special bloodlines that have been selected and bred for countless generations. Their running speed is comparable to that of ordinary soul-guided vehicles, and their endurance is also very strong. They can run for a whole day without any problem - of course, only the rich can afford them.
The horses, with scales and horns, were tied to the shafts of the carts. They were majestic, wagging their tails, holding their heads high, and adorned with gorgeous accessories.
However, these creatures, which are different from ordinary horses, are not soul beasts. They have a small amount of soul beast bloodline and are breeds that have been selected and cultivated by humans from generation to generation, and their bloodlines tend to be stable.
Their bodies are stronger than those of ordinary horses, but they can never improve their cultivation or awaken their spiritual intelligence like soul beasts.
Soul masters have certainly tried to tame soul beasts, but they all failed in the end. It's not because soul beasts are violent and can't be tamed, but because it's not cost-effective. Soul beasts living with humans develop intelligence very quickly - the animals in their hands become smarter, their obedience naturally decreases, and the risk factor also rises sharply.
The barrier between ordinary animals and soul beasts is even greater than the gap between ordinary people without soul power and soul masters.
Wang Rui met the warm black eyes of a wildebeest.
It looks no different from its ancestors in the Star Forest, but it can only live for fifty years at most. It is trapped in the shaft of a carriage with relief carvings for its entire life. It is trapped by its innate limitations and will never awaken its spiritual intelligence, nor can it practice cultivation.
Always ignorant and stupid.
So animals that never possess intelligence are classified as food.
But the most fucked-up thing about this world is that intelligent life and their food look extremely similar, and there is no reproductive isolation.
The offspring of wolves and monkeys can all grow up smoothly. Looking at some strange soul beasts in the stars, Wang Rui, who had just traveled through time, felt that the genetics he had studied had undergone an inhumane rape.
But if you think about it from another angle, if there were no ordinary animals in this world, and there were only soul beasts that gained intelligence after cultivation... then everyone's food could only be potential intelligent creatures with complex thoughts, which seemed even more hellish.
Soul beasts are different from other animals because they will eventually awaken their spiritual intelligence and possess wisdom, which is also the prerequisite for them to eventually form a loose alliance.
The reason why Wang Rui was able to gather soul beasts of different races together was that if done properly, the soul beasts would not have to devour each other. When the overall intelligence of the soul beasts reached a certain level, the strong soul beasts could devour the weak soul beasts, and then both the strong and weak soul beasts could feed on ordinary plants and animals.
It’s actually very difficult... to think about how a whole should move towards a better future.
In fact, Wang Rui didn't know whether the decision he made would lead the soul beast all the way to a terrible future, but it would not be worse than before.
perhaps.
He tried to push these useless philosophical thoughts out of his mind, but what filled it was an almost innate sense of urgency.
If he doesn't work hard, the stars will become the size of a dried-up lake. How can this happen?
Wang Rui held Huo Yuqing's hand, and the fused soul power operated spontaneously according to instinct, but the red-haired boy himself was in a trance and did not notice Huo Yuqing's condition.
