Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 3 Human Heart
Gradually, Shi Yi fell asleep, and when he woke up again, the sun had already set.

Shi Yi looked at the sunset outside the window, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. If possible, he wanted to sleep until the next day. He couldn't help yawning before he completely woke up from sleep.

Coming back to his senses, Shi Yi looked at the table beside him, only to find that Xiao Yi had disappeared.

"Could it be that the soul power is not enough and it returns to the body automatically?" Shi Yi had this doubt in his mind and summoned the little ant again.

However, he found that Xiao Yi did not appear in his palm. Obviously, Xiao Yi was still in the outside world. Shi Yi slowly got out of bed. His room was not big. He took a quick look but found no trace of Xiao Yi.

"The little ant probably won't be able to run too far. My own strength probably won't allow it to run very far."

Just as Shi Yi was about to continue searching, a strange feeling arose in his heart. This strange feeling seemed to be pulling Shi Yi's soul.

"Is this... the call of the little ant?"

Following this vague pull, Shi Yi opened the door and saw a small ant gnawing on the corpse of an ordinary ant not far away.

Shi Yi looked at this scene thoughtfully. Obviously, compared to rice porridge, eating one's own kind was the fastest process of evolution. He did not think there was anything wrong with it. Survival of the fittest, this was something he had learned a long time ago.

Different lives have different values, and becoming a link in the food chain of nature is also the meaning and value of their existence.

"I hope Xiao Yi and I will have better luck." Shi Yi sat quietly on the doorstep, watching Xiao Yi enjoying his delicious food.

As night falls, Shi Yi now doesn't know how to practice and can only go to bed early. In this world, there is not much entertainment. Fortunately, there is no industrial pollution in this world. The clean starry sky at night is Shi Yi's only entertainment. For soul masters, night is a good time to practice.

Looking at the stars outside the window, after an unknown amount of time, Shi Yi couldn't help but yawn, turned over on his bed, suppressed the excitement and anticipation in his heart, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, the first rays of sunlight in the early morning had just penetrated the night sky, and the village was still shrouded in a thin layer of mist. The crowing of roosters broke the tranquility of the night, heralding the beginning of a new day.

Shi Yi got up early. Usually at this time he would exercise for a while in the village. Although he didn't know whether this would help his cultivation, it was never a bad thing to be healthier. Of course, the intensity of the exercise was not high. He just ran around, practiced Ba Duan Jin or something like that, and helped the villagers with some chores within his ability.

He understood the principle that too much is as bad as too little. Even though this was a fantasy world, Shi Yi believed that many essential laws would not change. How could a child who was still in the growth stage accept high-intensity training?

The law of conservation of energy still applies in this world. The body requires energy to grow. Shi Yi, who had learned about fitness in his previous life, also understood how the body's strength becomes stronger. Through long-term and proper exercise, muscle fibers can be thickened, thereby making muscles larger, while improving the body's ability to control muscles, thereby enhancing strength.

All of these require energy. If you continue to exercise hard during the growth period, perhaps your body will have some extraordinary features in a short period of time, but there must be many parts of the body that are not fully developed. The most direct problem is that you cannot grow tall.

Even when Yu Xiaogang asked the Shrek people to run, he knew that they had to put some effort into their food and also prepared a medicinal bath. At that time, Tang San was twelve years old and had three spirit rings.

Shi Yi could accept this age for physical training. Having read the original novel, he understood that when a soul master absorbed soul rings, it not only brought growth to his martial soul, but also indirectly accelerated the growth rate of the soul master. This was why children in this world seemed so precocious.

He cleaned up his room, tied the package around his body, stood at the door, and looked at everything in the room quietly. Perhaps he would not return to this place for a long time.

It's not that he is heartless, but he knows very well what path he wants to take. On the path of soul master's cultivation, the struggle will never stop, and Shi Yi does not want anyone to die because of him.

After watching quietly for a while, Shi Yi put away the little ant and headed towards the village entrance.

Soon, Shi Yi saw the uncles and aunts in the village pulling the things they wanted to sell to the village entrance and loading them onto donkey carts.

"Xiao Yi, you're here." Shi Yi saw a middle-aged man greeting him.

"Uncle Wang, good morning." Shi Yi nodded in response.

"Congratulations, Xiao Yi. The village chief has greeted me. Once uncle finishes packing their things, we can set off."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Shi Yi smiled at the middle-aged man.

After a brief greeting, Shi Yi stopped talking and walked to a corner, watching them load the truck quietly, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Shi Yi had been struggling in society for so many years in his previous life, and he knew very well that it was not a good thing to take the initiative to greet and chat with these uncles at this time. Greeting and working with them at this time would only make people misunderstand that you are showing off your awakened soul power, thereby satisfying your sense of superiority.

This is how people become jealous. It's not that Shi Yi has any dissatisfaction with the villagers, but human hearts are often like this. He understands that not everyone will be happy for him.

None of their children have awakened their soul power, so why did an orphan awaken his soul power and change his own destiny?
During the six years since he came into this world, there were many people who sought a sense of existence and satisfied their own sense of superiority through Shi Yi, an orphan. Although they were all children and Shi Yi did not take them seriously, he could often see the shadows of his parents in the children.

Silence and impoliteness are very appropriate at this time. Properly giving others a handle to let them whisper something or even curse at you in their hearts will help to smooth out the imbalance in their hearts.

When you do a lot of good things, sometimes you also need to be a bad person. The way to deal with people is to be both firm and flexible, and to have a sense of relaxation and tension.

Soon, all the villagers' belongings were loaded onto the donkey cart. Now it was the spring farming season, and everyone needed to exchange their own family produce for new seeds. There was no need for so many people to go to the market like on ordinary days. Shi Yi also got on the donkey cart and followed the middle-aged man out of the village.

As soon as the middle-aged man took Shi Yi away, dissatisfied voices immediately arose among the villagers.

"I didn't expect that kid to become a soul master."

"At least the village still gave him a bite to eat. He usually pretends to be a polite child, but today he left without even saying goodbye to us."

"Now he is a soul master, he looks down on us peasants."

"What nonsense... That child is usually more sensible than your own children. How could he be such a person?"

"I think you guys are jealous of that kid because he has awakened his soul power."

"That's right. I saw your kid calling other kids wild kids earlier."

The person who was refuted was speechless. Yuehua City was not far from Hetan Village. In less than half an hour, the two arrived at Yuehua City. After following the middle-aged man into the city, Shi Yi parted with him.

Shi Yi did not go to Yuehua Junior Soul Master College, but asked for the location of the car dealership in Yuehua City.

The main way to appear in this world is to rely on a horse-drawn carriage. When Shi Yi arrived at the carriage shop, he instantly spent all the five silver coins that Li Yi had hidden in the package, and rented a carriage to go to Nottingham.

Shi Yi didn't know whether this price was cheap or not. There was no need to spend money in the village. The original novel did not describe much about the purchasing power of money in this world. Shi Yi did not intend to dwell on these trivial matters. Soon, the coachman took Shi Yi away.

On the way, Shi Yi, sitting in the carriage, summoned Xiao Yi. Now he has embarked on the path of a soul master, and he has a lot to do.

Thinking about the development direction of martial soul is the most important issue, and it is also a long-term issue.

Hard work is important, but if the direction is wrong, the effort will be in vain. Isn’t Yu Xiaogang the best example?
If Shi Yi has a golden finger, then his golden finger is his familiarity with the plot and scientific common sense from modern society.

In his previous life, Shi Yi was the manager of the data department of a listed company. He collected data, analyzed data, and evaluated reasonable plans for the company. Shi Yi believed that modern abilities and insights would surely show incredible charm in this world.

Now Shi Yi needs to come up with a development plan that goes hand in hand with his martial soul.

Shi Yi looked at Xiao Yi quietly, constantly analyzing Xiao Yi's potential as a martial spirit in his mind, and took out a piece of paper and drew a hexagram.

Living beast spirit: Little Ant. (Score 1-5)

Bloodline: 0 points.

In the world of beast martial spirits, bloodline power is a factor that has a great influence in battle. The reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is known as the number one beast martial spirit in the world is because of its powerful dragon bloodline, which can almost suppress most beast martial spirits, and the little ant is almost at the bottom of the food chain.

Strength: 3 points.

Strength is one of the few things that can be praised about ants, but for living beast spirits, the size and bloodline of the ants are important factors that affect their strength attributes.

Defense: 0 points.

For the little ant whose bloodline has not been improved at all, its defense is almost zero, and even an ordinary person can step on it to death. It is better not to summon it in crowded places.

Speed: 0 points.

……

Energy: 0 points.

No special properties.

Special: 3 points.

Poison, highly sensitive tentacles can develop in the direction of perception, with the improvement of bloodline and the improvement of soul master cultivation, it may be able to communicate with the same kind and become the king of the ant world.

Shi Yi looked at the hexagram he had drawn. He thought that such a panel was already pretty good for a first-level innate soul master. At least it was not completely useless. Obviously, the most important thing for a beast martial soul was its bloodline.

A beast martial soul with a powerful bloodline can not only suppress the opponent, but the ability of the beast soul will be greatly affected by the bloodline. Not only beast soul masters, but also soul beasts with special abilities all have powerful bloodlines.

As long as one has a strong bloodline, simple three-dimensional attributes such as strength, speed, and defense will be greatly improved. Therefore, Shi Yi believes that the least important of these six items are the attributes of these three dimensions, because these three dimensions will grow with the growth of the martial soul. This is also the advantage of Xiaoyi as a living martial soul. Shi Yi also has the confidence to make his martial soul grow.

What Shi Yi values ​​more is actually the huge colony of ants. If possible, Shi Yi wants to make Little Yi the king of the ant world. Like Tang San's mother, Blue Silver Emperor, ants are also something that can be seen everywhere in the entire Douluo Continent.

Shi Yi drew another picture on the paper, but this time it was no longer a hexagram, but a quadrilateral, representing body, soul power, mental power, and little ants.

These are the four most important factors that can affect him. Shi Yi knows very well that no matter what ability one has, one cannot escape these four factors. In other words, as long as these four factors are sufficient, there is no ability that cannot be obtained.

His shortcomings are also obvious. His physical body is obviously at the level of a normal child, but his mental strength exceeds that of an ordinary child. Or it may be the advantage of being a human in two lives. Shi Yi can clearly feel that the memories of his past life are extremely clear in his mind, but his soul power and martial soul are too weak.

"It seems that I still need to get Notting City to confirm the timeline before I can plan the next things. Now I don't even have the most basic meditation method, so many things can only be imagined."

Thinking of this, Shi Yi put away the paper he had been writing and drawing on, and began to gently tease the little ant with his fingers. Looking at the scenery outside the car window, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Two days later, Shi Yi lifted the curtain and looked up at the plaque of Nottingham City on the city wall in the distance. Shi Yi couldn't help feeling excited.

"I hope my trip here was not in vain."

If the protagonist's story line has not yet begun, he can participate in many things and his path as a soul master will be smoother.

As the carriage entered the city, Shi Yi slowly got off with dark circles under his eyes. Shi Yi was young and needed sleep, and the time on the road was too boring, so he had no choice but to sleep. However, the road conditions on the Douluo Continent were not very good, and even if he was sitting in the carriage, there would be some bumps. Shi Yi kept wandering between sleeping and waking up.

"With this transportation, no wonder a carriage ride is so expensive. I would feel sorry for the driver if I didn't give him five silver coins."

Except for resting at night these two days, the driver has been driving the carriage diligently during the day. Not to mention that the road conditions in Douluo Continent are not at the same level as in the previous life. Even if Shi Yi went on a business trip to a nearby city in his previous life, Shi Yi would not choose to drive himself, but take public transportation.

Shi Yi casually asked around on the street and soon arrived at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the young man guarding the door. Looking at the young man's aggressive appearance, Shi Yi felt helpless. This is the reason why it is easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with little ghosts.

Seeing this, Shi Yi had no choice but to go forward.
