Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Hu Liena looked around and asked casually, "What kind of place is the City of Slaughter in your eyes?"

"A paradise of fall."

"Paradise? Ha..." Hu Liena smiled contemptuously. The woman in black veil did not care about Hu Liena's attitude and still followed the two of them briskly.

Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi and asked doubtfully, "Don't you have anything you want to know?"

Shi Yi smiled and said, "You have been asking this all the time, haven't you? I think I understand what you are asking."

“In that case, the two of you come with me to take a look at the inner city. You will be spending a long time in the inner city from now on.” The woman in black veil said with a giggle.

After saying that, the girl in black veil walked towards the city. Shi Yi and Hu Liena walked while observing everything around them. As they walked, they began to see people from the outer city. Gradually, more and more people came on both sides of the road. Almost everyone had an unhealthy pale look on their face, and most of them were skinny.

That look made Shi Yi and Hu Liena feel a chill.

The outer city was larger than Shi Yi had imagined. After walking for more than half an hour, the woman in black veil brought Shi Yi and Hu Liena to a city wall.

The moment he stepped into the inner city, Shi Yi felt that several powerful murderous auras were directed at them, but he did not take action due to the temporary presence of the woman in black veil.

If the outer city is a dead and cold world, then the inner city is a luxurious and crazy world. Various colorful lights can be seen everywhere. The inner city has much more people than the outer city, which is completely different from the quiet outer city.

The inner city was extremely chaotic. There were excited laughter, painful cries, and many bone-chilling screams everywhere.

Injury, killing, rape, and looting, these scenes that are not seen in daily life can be seen everywhere in the inner city. Shi Yi and Hu Liena felt uncomfortable instinctively, and their stomach acid kept rising.

"Ugh..." Hu Liena couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited.

"This is the real city of killing." The woman in black veil chuckled when she saw this.

Shi Yi suppressed his churning stomach and his heart kept contracting. His worldview was constantly being refreshed. He saw too many things he had never seen before. Evil had always been just a concept in Shi Yi's mind, but now it appeared clearly before his eyes.

He claimed that he was not a good person, but now he felt that he was a really good person.

Hu Liena was also wiping the corner of her mouth in embarrassment. Obviously, as a woman, those obscene scenes had a greater impact on her than Shi Yi.

Fights were happening all the time here, looting, smashing and burning were commonplace here, and Shi Yi almost couldn't suppress his churning stomach after seeing all the different ways of death.

"It can be seen that you are living well outside. If you want to integrate here quickly, you'd better get used to the outer city first." The woman in black veil chuckled. In her eyes, these things in the inner city have long been commonplace and insignificant.

Shi Yi didn't pay attention to what the woman in black veil said, but just kept looking around with confusion in his heart. He looked at the scene around him and found that even though he had been extremely restrained, the murderous intent in his heart would continue to surge up. It seemed that only through killing could he release the violence accumulated in his heart.

"It seems that this may be the effect caused by the strong murderous aura." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart. People are the product of the environment. If they stay in such an environment for a long time, the large amount of murderous aura is enough to continuously affect them.

After speaking, the woman in black veil said to the two of them, "Let's go and see your ultimate goal, the Killing Fields of Hell."

"Do you know why we are here?" Hu Liena seemed to be feeling uncomfortable just now. She stared at the woman in black veil and said word by word.

"There are many people coming to the City of Slaughter, and the speed of adaptation often reflects many things. You are too clean, and you should be very clean outside too. Such clean people mostly come here for only this one purpose." The woman in black veil chuckled.

Hu Liena covered her chest and looked deeply at the woman in black veil without saying a word.

After saying that, the three of them headed towards the killing field of hell.

Led by the black-veiled girl, Shi Yi and Hu Liena saw a special building. The building was circular, or more accurately, a non-standard cone. The area was the largest at the bottom and narrowed as it went up.

When it reaches a height of almost thirty meters above the ground, it maintains the same diameter and extends upward until it reaches fifty meters.

The area of ​​​​this hell killing field is indeed not small, and it is slightly smaller than the Great Soul Fighting Field in Tiandou City.

Then the black-veiled woman introduced the two of them, "You should know the general idea. Now I will tell you the rules of the Killing Field of Hell. After entering, register with your ID card and wait for the competition to begin. Each group entering the Killing Field consists of ten people. No matter what method you use, you just need to survive to the end. Each group can only have one person alive. Every time you participate in a competition, you can live here for an extra year. You came at an unlucky time. No one is participating in the competition today, so I can't take you in to have a look."

Shi Yi nodded slightly and said, "It seems that people like us are indeed very rare."

The black-veiled woman nodded and smiled sweetly, "Most people who win a game will move on to the next game when their time is almost up, or they will die of natural causes before they have lived here for a year."

"Natural death? Haha..." Shi Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Let's go." Shi Yi called to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena nodded slightly and followed Shi Yi obediently.

"Are you two going to live in the outer city? Then you have to collect some Bloody Marys first, four cups per month for two people, otherwise you will have to use your own." The woman in black veil chuckled.

Shi Yi nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, two people were about to enter the killing field. Just as the woman in black veil said, they were holding a cup of scarlet blood in their hands, and it seemed that they were here to sign up for the competition.

Shi Yi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this and said, "Looks like we're lucky."

The moment Shi Yi finished speaking, several golden rays of light shot towards the two of them silently. They only felt a heat on their necks. They didn't know when, the golden light passed through their necks, and blood splattered everywhere.

Shi Yi's steps were illusory and he dodged in an instant, catching the Bloody Mary in the hands of the two men using the method of controlling a crane and catching a dragon, just as both of them fell to the ground and were unable to get up.

"These things from the Tang Sect are really useful in this damn place. When most people don't have soul skills, we can use advanced techniques to shoot hidden weapons at the opponent, and the opponent can't even sense it." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

In the world of soul masters, the signal of battle is not the opponent's action, but murderous aura, soul power fluctuation, martial soul summoning, or possession, soul ring, these very characteristic things, all of which prove that the soul master is about to start releasing his attack, but Shi Yi's Tang Sect unique skills are different, hidden weapons emphasize surprise, sneak attacks. Shi Yi, who has no murderous aura, is like a harmless little sheep in this place. The opponent did not feel Shi Yi's murderous aura and soul power fluctuations. In addition, the black veil woman was standing not far from Shi Yi, so naturally she did not feel the signal of battle. When there is no martial soul summoned, many soul masters are even stronger than normal adults. Everyone is mortal and it is easy to sneak attack.

Soon, Shi Yi used the same method to prepare four glasses of Bloody Mary. In fact, the blood of the two people he killed at the beginning could also be used, but Shi Yi had never done such disgusting work as bloodletting.

Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi and discovered the exquisiteness of Tang Sect's unique skills. She had been staring at Shi Yi, but Shi Yi's hands always managed to launch attacks without anyone noticing.

The woman in black veil was also very surprised when she looked at Shi Yi. She was very surprised that there was no murderous aura on Shi Yi, but Shi Yi's attacking techniques were just like an extremely skilled killer. Each of his strikes hit the opponent's vital points with great precision, ensuring a one-shot kill.

Soon, the three of them came from the inner city to the outer city.

"The supplies in the outer city are all distributed. After you hand over Bloody Mary, you will get a small hut and some basic necessities of life. When it's time for dinner, there will also be a fixed place to put the food." The woman in black veil introduced softly.

"Are you treating humans like animals?" Shi Yi said indifferently.

“No matter where the weak are, they are just livestock arranged by the strong.” The woman in black veil laughed.

Shi Yi nodded and said, "You are right."

Led by the woman in black veil, the two came to a registration office. After pouring four glasses of Bloody Mary into a huge container, Shi Yi and Hu Liena received a sign with their house number on it.

"Okay, now we are no longer in danger. Thank you for your guidance." Shi Yi whispered to the woman in black veil.

The black-veiled woman smiled sweetly and bowed to Shi Yi and Hu Liena, saying, "Since you two don't need me anymore, I will take my leave first. If you two want to visit the inner city within twelve hours, I will show up."

Shi Yi nodded and watched the figure of the woman in black veil gradually disappear.

Seeing this, Shi Yi called to Hu Liena and said, "Let's go. I'll tell you about the next arrangements."

"Arrangement?" Hu Liena followed Shi Yi and asked in confusion.

"Well... my teaching arrangements for you..." When Hu Liena wanted to say something, Shi Yi interrupted her and said, "Don't rush to refuse. First of all, Aunt Dong's instructions are for you to listen to me. Secondly, you have to figure out why you came here."

"Why?" Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi as if he were a fool. "Isn't it to pass the test of the City of Slaughter and obtain the God of Slaughter domain?"

Shi Yi looked at Hu Liena and shook his head, saying, "No...you came here to practice and to break through yourself."

"Is there any difference between the two?" Hu Liena asked Shi Yi.

"Of course, what do you think the realm of the God of Death is in your opinion?" Shi Yi continued to ask.

Hu Liena thought about it, shook her head slightly, and cast her puzzled gaze on Shi Yi.

"The Killing God Domain is a technique. It is your means to defeat your enemies, and now you need to know your own way." Shi Yi looked at Hu Liena and said softly.

"Tao? What Tao? You are not going to make something up to fool me." Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi suspiciously.

"How should I explain it to you?" Shi Yi looked at Hu Liena with a distressed look.

Hu Liena didn't say anything but just waited quietly for Shi Yi's explanation.

"Tao can be summarized as something regular, the most fundamental thing. As a pure spiritual soul master, your main goal is to use the murderous aura in this killing city to constantly temper your mental strength. This is why you came here. As for the realm of the God of Killing, it is just a technique you acquired in the process of breaking through yourself. Using Tao to control technique, what I said should not be very abstract, can you understand?" Shi Yi looked at Hu Liena and said softly.

Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi and seemed to understand something, but her beautiful eyes were still full of doubts.

"Okay, just listen to me. I won't harm you." Shi Yi said helplessly.

As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of two bungalows. Since they submitted their applications at the same time, they naturally became next-door neighbors.

Hu Liena seemed a little embarrassed when she walked to the door. "Tell me what I should do. For the sake of the teacher, I will listen to you."

Shi Yi nodded, then took out three booklets from his soul guide, threw them to Hu Liena, and said calmly: "Change the meditation method you practiced into internal energy, and learn this Purple Demon Eye. Although there is no rising sun here, with your mental strength, you should be able to make some progress soon. Use this step more often when escaping."

Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi with a strange expression on his face and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Shi Yi looked at Hu Liena seriously and said, "Of course it's not that simple. You should figure out these three things first. In fact, you don't have to care too much about where you are. The City of Slaughter is just an environment after all. Internal skills train your soul power, eye skills train your spirit, and as for your body, the fact that you can reach your current level shows that Aunt Dong has not neglected your training in this area. This level is enough. For you, it's enough to train your body to the point where it doesn't hinder your spirit. Anyway, you don't have any moves in fighting, which is why I didn't teach you those techniques. It takes a lot of time but you can't achieve the same effect as me. However, you can still learn this footwork. If you can't win, at least you can run away."

Hu Liena puffed her lips and asked, "Why can you achieve such an effect, but I can't?"

"I have honed my body for many years, and my strength, coordination, flexibility, and self-control are all perfect. I can learn techniques like these very quickly, and there is basically no bottleneck. But you are different. Your body is far from that, and it is completely not on the same level as your mental power. If you practice these techniques, it will take time for your body to slowly get used to it, which is not cost-effective for you. So what you need to constantly break through is your own soul power level and mental power. This is your path." Shi Yi looked at Hu Liena and smiled.

"Then when will we complete the test?" Hu Liena asked puzzledly.

"When your mental power can truly control the murderous aura, it's time for us to leave." Shi Yi whispered to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena nodded, looked at Shi Yi and asked curiously, "Then why did you come here? In your own words, what is your Tao?"

"Naturally, it is also to hone my mental strength. Mental strength can be integrated into the moves, which is the so-called momentum and sense of oppression. My way is more focused on body and soul power, and mental strength is more of a supplement." Shi Yi chuckled.

Hu Liena nodded as if she understood what was said.
