In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 68 Please begin your performance!

Time flies, and evening soon arrived.

After finishing their meal and having finished their conversation, Zi Ji got up to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

"Ziji, my training here is almost finished. I'll rest for two days and then come to your place," Zhu Wu said.

Having been tormented by Di Tian for over half a year, he had learned all the skills he could. The Black Dragon Sword had become the Fire-Transforming Sword in his hands, and the Myriad Dragon Flames had been changed to the Myriad Dragon Flame Dance. As for the profound techniques like Sun and Moon Shining, Dragon God Claw, Spatial Guidance, and Black Dragon Annihilation, the principles were explained thoroughly, but at this stage he could only refer to them and couldn't practice them at all. He would have to wait until he condensed a Soul Core or even a Yin-Yang complementary dual Soul Core before he could do so.

Simply put, he hasn't even reached the basic requirements for learning, which is undoubtedly a sad story.

As for practical training, it feels like there's nothing new to learn. The gap between him and Di Tian is now a matter of raw strength, something that can't be bridged by technique. It would be better to learn Zi Ji's skills and then go out and fight various soul beasts. Different opponents will surely bring different insights.

In addition, it provides an opportunity to integrate and apply what you have learned before.

"Okay." Zi Ji nodded and flew away.

Di Tian raised an eyebrow, glanced at Zhu Wu, and watched Zi Ji leave in silence before speaking.

"Yingtian, when do you plan to go to the outside world?"

Zhu Wu's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "The end of next year."

Di Tian fell silent for a moment, then said, "Then Ling'er will be guided in her cultivation by me and the Crimson King from now on."

"Ling'er and Zi Ji have very different attributes, even completely incompatible, so it will be difficult for her to learn anything."

"Besides, Zi Ji's territory is cold and damp, which is not the best place for Ling'er to cultivate. Therefore, my idea is to take Ling'er to the Red King's territory."

"Alright." Zhu Wu nodded, then turned to look at Long Ling'er. "Don't worry, Ling'er, I'll come to see you often."

"Mm." Long Ling'er nodded.

"I will definitely work hard in my training."

Two days later, in the dense forest where Murasaki was.

"Zi Ji, I'm here!" Zhu Wu transformed into a small bird and flew high in the sky, greeting everyone loudly before accelerating his descent.

"Transform into your true form," he said as soon as they met.

"Okay." Zi Ji didn't think much of it and immediately transformed into her true form, coiling under the cypress tree. Then she saw Zhu Wu approaching and saying, "Don't resist now. I need to guide soul power into your body and then use the Eye of Living Being to carefully examine all the meridians of your dragon body."

"???" Zi Ji froze instantly, her purple dragon eyes widening.

"Does it really have to be this way?" he said through gritted teeth.

if not?

With your body length of several hundred meters, don't you have any idea how many meridians you have? Besides, with your dragon body, what kind of ideas could I possibly have?

Zhu Wu turned his head. "Otherwise, could you use your soul power or mental power to simulate it, or draw it?"

Zi Ji had a completely different opinion, because she was a true soul beast. In her eyes, Zhu Wu's actions were almost tantamount to seeing her entire body, flesh and bone, including those intimate areas—how could that be allowed?

She is not a mindless beast.

She has a lot to lose face!

Di Tian and Bi Ji didn't give me any hints beforehand, damn it! She's now extremely regretful that she agreed.

"I'll give it a try!" Zi Ji gritted her teeth and replied, then immediately regretted it. What difference did it make?

At most, there are blurry points.

"Okay." Zhu Wu nodded, quickly took a few steps back, and looked at Zi Ji's dragon head.

Please begin your performance!

"." Zi Ji remained silent, then gritted her teeth and braced herself to look inward at the dragon's head. At the same time, she used her soul power to release it outward, gradually condensing the outline of a phantom dragon beast in the open space in front of her. The internal meridians were bright, which clearly indicated that there weren't many meridians.

"Not only the main branch, but also the branches need to be manifested," Zhu Wu reminded him.

The next second, fine veins appeared.

However, after a short while, Zhu Wu frowned. "Sure enough, even among dragons, different species are different."

He had seen both Di Tian and Zi Ji's true forms, and could only say that, apart from their general outlines, there were many differences. This could be seen from the keratinous growths on their bodies and the arrangement of their dragon horns, plus the fact that one was male and the other female. Therefore, when he was sorting out Di Tian's meridians, he guessed that there might be some differences between the meridians in Di Tian and Zi Ji's bodies, and concluded that even if Di Tian could practice the Longevity Technique, Zi Ji might not be able to.

Of course, the biggest difference is size. Di Tian's body length exceeds one thousand meters, and the sheer number of internal meridians, especially the branches, is enough to make his scalp tingle, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of his research. He wanted to explore Zi Ji's internal meridians because he thought that Zi Ji's body size was smaller, and her internal meridians should be more streamlined. In this way, this comparison makes it easier for him to distinguish between primary and secondary factors while looking for commonalities.

Damn it, it's so hard for a human like me to have to worry about this kind of thing. It's really unpleasant.

Being the leader of a soul beast is indeed not an easy job!

No wonder Zhu Wu wanted to check my meridians. After hearing Zhu Wu's words, Zi Ji also understood.

After some internal struggle, I ultimately decided to abandon the idea of ​​simulating meridians; it would be too much of a waste of time. Besides, what's simulated is ultimately just simulated, not the real thing.

He glanced at Zhu Wu with a slightly complicated expression, then dispersed his spiritual energy and said calmly, "You should investigate it yourself."

"You mean this isn't..." Zhu Wu thought to himself, but then he realized that Zi Ji wasn't usually stupid, so why was she so resistant to examining the dragon's body? He was stunned.

It seems that I was thinking from a human perspective before, but if I were to think from Murasaki's perspective...

It seems there is a problem!

Damn, I must have been completely stunned by Di Tian's beating these past few days, plus I was obsessed with studying cultivation techniques. I never even thought of that before. And Di Tian, ​​that guy, didn't even bother to remind me when he was sorting out his meridians.

That bastard!

Seeing Zhu Wu's expression, Zi Ji guessed that Zhu Wu might have realized the key to the problem, so she remained silent.

A moment later, he turned his head, closed his eyes, lay down on the ground, and said in a cool and aloof tone, "Hurry up."

Zhu Wu snapped out of his daze, glanced awkwardly at Zi Ji's dragon head, and then stepped forward.

A moment later, he approached Zi Ji, reached out and touched the smooth dragon scales, turned his head slightly, and said in a serious tone, "Zi Ji, how about you consider it?"

"Be my dragon queen?"

Zi Ji immediately opened her eyes and glanced at Zhu Wu with surprise.

How come I never noticed before? This guy is so shameless, he actually wants to take her as his dragon consort!

"Let's talk when you're stronger than me." He glanced at Zhu Wu's small frame, blurted out without thinking, his tone flat, and closed his eyes again.

As expected of a homebody who has lived for over 20 years, she has intelligence, but not much. Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow and said, "Zi Ji, how long do you think it would take me to reach level 99 with my talent? 20 years, or 30 years?"

"You know my abilities. Do you think you could have beaten me back then?"

Zi Ji's body trembled involuntarily.

She absolutely cannot beat Zhu Wu, who is level 99.
