Chapter 209 Eve
"Master Xuan, you are back?"
Xian Lin'er and Wang Nan were not traveling very fast and it was already early morning when they returned to Shrek Academy. As soon as they stepped onto the Sea God Island, they saw Xuan Zi, who looked exhausted.
Xuan Zi's clothes, which were not very neat to begin with, looked even shabbier now, and his hair and beard were a mess from not having been groomed for several days.
His martial spirit, the Taotie Divine Bull, needed to eat constantly to practice, but he had not been replenished in time after many attacks in the past few days, and he had lost a lot of weight. As soon as he returned to the Sea God Island, he started eating without caring about his image.
"Yeah." Xuanzi nodded. "I just heard about the Sunset Forest from Mei'er. How is it going there now?"
"Some soul beasts escaped and caused a lot of damage, but most of them were controlled in time around the Sunset Forest, and rushed back after the poison barrier was resolved."
"It's good that there aren't too many casualties. Have you figured out what the poison barrier is?"
When Xian Lin'er heard this, she did not answer immediately. After a pause, she looked at Wang Nan.
The poison barrier was solved by Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao, and judging from the attitude of those soul beasts in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire towards Wang Nan, although it was not stated explicitly, Xian Lin'er still guessed something.
On the way back, she had been avoiding mentioning this matter, fearing that there would be a rift between Wang Nan and the academy. However, Xuan Zi didn't know the inside story, so it was difficult to hide it.
"Let me tell you." Seeing Xian Lin'er's expression, Wang Nan could probably guess what she was thinking, "That is a treasure land."
Just like he said before, he never thought that anything he gained in the eyes of Yin and Yang would become his private property. In fact, if you really count it, he owed the Ice and Fire Dragon King a favor.
After giving a brief account of what happened in the Sunset Forest, Xuan Zi's eating speed slowed down a bit. He looked at Wang Nan's face, gradually stopped what he was doing, let out a long sigh, and no longer asked about the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
"This time when I passed the border on my way back from the Sun Moon Empire, I saw a soul guide from afar."
"What kind of soul guide is it?" Xian Lin'er looked at Xuan Zi. If he could specifically bring it up, it must not be ordinary.
Xuan Zi looked forward with an empty gaze, "Under that light, even if I am fully prepared, I will be seriously injured."
"what?"
"Old Mu once warned me that as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, I must have a long-term vision. Now it seems that I am still far behind him." Xuan Zi retracted his gaze and looked at Wang Nan and the others. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was talking about the soul guide or something else.
After saying this, Xuan Zi patted his clothes and stood up, "Okay, you have been tired for several days, go back and rest."
Xian Lin'er was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. Xuan Zi was already the most powerful person in Shrek Academy. If even he said so, could the Sun Moon Empire really be stopped?
Wang Nan sighed inwardly, having guessed what Xuan Zi was talking about. In fact, what he said was not accurate, as the Sun Moon Empire actually had a force that exceeded that of the Limit Douluo.
The reason why the defense of the Sky Soul Empire was breached so quickly was probably related to the young marshal of the Sun Moon Empire. But in the final analysis, it was because the Sun Moon Empire had more power than the three major empires.
It was because Death Douluo was stationed in Mingdou Mountain Range that the Xingluo Empire suffered heavy losses. Otherwise, the strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west would not have had such an effect.
In the final analysis, it's all about strength.
"Everyone go back and rest."
Xian Lin'er's words interrupted Wang Nan's thoughts. He nodded and walked towards the dormitory building.
……
A few days later, Wang Nan sat on his bed in the dormitory with his hands in front of him. A ball of condensed soul power was constantly rotating in his palms.
After a while, Wang Nan took the soul power back into his body, and his eyes slowly opened.
With his current mental strength, it was not difficult to condense a soul core. He could even easily rotate the soul power and space power in his palm without affecting the outside world. However, it was not so easy to try another path different from most soul masters.
The experience with the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire caused his soul power to reach a bottleneck. If he wanted to go further, he would need to condense a second soul core.
After just a few simple attempts, Wang Nan still felt that he was missing something.
Soul power, soul core, attributes, perception, and the inspiration that flashed by during the battle, Wang Nan always felt that there was a path that suited him, but it quickly slipped away from his hands.
Closing his eyes lightly, Wang Nan searched through the memories deep in his mind. The memories of his past life were clear, but it was not easy to put the words in his memory into practice.
The Tianye Fusheng Dragon swam slightly in the sea of spirit, dispelling the irritability in Wang Nan's heart.
It seems that I still need to find a reference first.
Thinking of this, Wang Nan stood up and glanced out the window. The sun was shining brightly, so he decided to put aside his cultivation for the time being.
"Xiao Nan!"
As soon as he arrived downstairs of the dormitory, Wang Nan saw a slim figure in front of her. She had long hair tied into a ponytail and combed behind her. When she saw Wang Nan, she was startled at first, but soon she smiled sweetly.
Of course it is - Gong Yang Mo.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm just hanging out here."
"You haven't practiced?"
"I'm already level 79."
Upon hearing this, Wang Nan looked at Gong Yang Mo, but there was still a smile on his face, and no other expression could be seen.
"Hehe, if you want to see me sad, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. After so many years of training, I knew this day would come."
Gong Yangmo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon, a top-level auxiliary martial soul that is not inferior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. However, like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, his martial soul can only have seven soul rings at most, and the seventy-nine level is already the limit of his cultivation.
"Do you need to go out for something? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"Actually, I just wanted to go out for a stroll."
"Eh, I rarely hear you say this kind of thing. That's perfect. Come with me to the Soul Guidance Department." Gong Yangmo said as he walked out. "I'm free anyway. I've been thinking about making a soul guide for fun."
"Okay." Wang Nan followed with a smile.
"By the way, can you give me some interesting ideas? Ye Xiaosheng has been making some interesting gadgets, and he always says it was your idea."
"Okay, no problem. By the way, what has Xiaosheng been busy with recently?"
"He has also made a breakthrough and is now a seventh-level soul guide. Some time ago he said he had hit a bottleneck and wanted to go to the Sun-Moon Empire to take a look at their soul guides."
"He told the academy that he had applied for leave, but before he even left, news came that a full-scale war had broken out. Now he doesn't want to go anymore."
