Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 147 The Boy Who Stumbled into the Game of Fate!

Jiang Nannan successfully picked a Phoenix Cockscomb Palm and returned to Zhu Ziyang's side.

"Oh dear, you actually picked this one! How am I going to explain this to Kui Kui?!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea exclaimed in surprise when she saw the large, fiery red flower in Jiang Nannan's hand.

"What's wrong? Is this one not okay?" Jiang Nannan asked, her face showing displeasure.

The Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower in her hand was the largest of its offshoots, second only to the main plant in size and height. Although the girl had received explanations and assurances from the Moon Laurel Fairy Tea, she was still worried that an ordinary offshoot wouldn't be able to completely eradicate Ma Xiaotao's martial soul defect, which was why she chose the best-growing offshoot. After all, Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflowers also follow the rule that the bigger the better.

"How could that be?" Seeing the displeasure on Jiang Nannan's face, Yuegui Fairy Tea became a little nervous. She had finally managed to get a Taiyin Jade Rabbit and couldn't let it go. So, she explained to Jiang Nannan in a somewhat ingratiating way, "Although it is growing very well, it is still a seedling after all. Kui Kui may be angry, but she won't care too much. I'll explain it to her, so you don't need to worry."

For these immortal herbs that have evolved into soul beasts, the offspring plants are dispensable. Although from a bloodline perspective, the offspring plants are their sisters, as long as they do not leave the root, the offspring plants are only worthy of being offspring plants, only worthy of being plants without consciousness!

"That's good then." Jiang Nannan's expression changed, a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Zhu Ziyang, "Brother, here, take this, keep it safe."

She handed the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower to Zhu Ziyang, who smiled, took out a jade box, put the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower into the jade box, and then stored it in his Star Flame Ring, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Nannan."

"You can leave now, or we'll be discovered!" Moonflower Tea urged. "That silver-haired girl, please remember your promise to Tea Tea!"

"Yes, I will keep my promise." Jiang Nannan nodded solemnly and replied. This is a 100,000-year-old soul beast! Just for the 100,000-year-old soul ring and 100,000-year-old soul bone, she would not break her promise. Only a fool would break his promise.

"Goodbye, Moon Laurel Immortal Tea." Zhu Ziyang's gaze swept over the immortal herbs around the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire before finally returning to the Moon Laurel Immortal Tea. A faint smile played on his lips as he spoke.

"Okay, goodbye!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea didn't realize the deeper meaning behind Zhu Ziyang's smile and answered foolishly.

"Nannan, let's go!" Zhu Ziyang hugged Jiang Nannan's waist, and his left eye suddenly shone with golden light. The space around them began to distort, and in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared in front of the Moon Laurel Immortal Tea Noodles.

"Hehehe~ I can finally leave this awful place!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea chuckled as she watched Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan disappear.

"Cha Cha, I see it!" As the Moon Laurel Fairy Tea grinned foolishly, an ice-white plant emerged from the Frigid Yin Spring, and a cold voice came from it.

"Ah~ Bingbing, when did you wake up?" The Moon Laurel Fairy Tea was so startled that its branches trembled. It looked at the plant in the Yin Spring in a panic and said.

"I woke up just as those two humans came in," the ice-white plant said. "I heard your conversation too."

"This, this..." Moon Laurel Fairy Tea was really panicked and became somewhat incoherent. Although everyone harbored resentment towards that person, no one dared to speak out. Now that her words had been heard by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, if the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass told Youyou what she had said, then she might very well have her intelligence erased by them!

In all this time, how many immortal herbs have had their sentience erased by Youyou and the others? Moon Laurel Immortal Tea was truly panicked; she didn't want to die!

"I saw it too!" Just as Yuegui Xiancha was in a panic, a voice came, and a fiery red plant rose from Yangquan. It was Yangquan Xiancao, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

"Ah, Jiaojiao! It's all over, it's all over!" Yuegui Xiancha said in utter despair, her voice pale and lifeless.

"Alright, stop scaring Chacha!" Another voice came from the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, which had just lost its offspring.

"KuiKui, you...you're awake too!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea's heart sank to the bottom, but after hearing Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower's words, a glimmer of hope still arose.

"Hmm, I woke up when that girl picked me," Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower said. "Don't worry, we won't blame you. After all, we know your situation, and we'll keep it a secret for you."

"That's right, so are we," said the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot.

"Really? Thank you!" Upon hearing this, Yuegui Xiancha was overjoyed, feeling both touched and excited.

"Of course it's true, but you have to grant us one request!" said the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, and the Fiery Apricot Fairy nodded in agreement.

"No problem!" Moon Laurel Fairy Tea, whose mood had soared from the depths of despair to the heights of elation, agreed without hesitation.

Outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, a golden light flashed, and Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan appeared.

Spatial teleportation is Zhu Ziyang's new ability, derived from the destiny power of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

It turns out that after he exchanged memories with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and obtained a portion of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's power of destiny, Zhu Ziyang's left eye underwent a special mutation, just like his right eye, which mutated due to the power of destiny after the Silver Dragon Wolf sacrificed itself.

After six months of gestation, his left eye developed a dragon wing pattern similar to his right eye, but it was a light gold color. Therefore, Zhu Ziyang called it the Golden Left Eye.

Just as the Silver Right Eye possesses the ability to stop time, the Golden Left Eye also possesses an ability called spatial teleportation. This ability allows Zhu Ziyang to instantly move within the space of Douluo Continent, transferring from one spatial region to another, which is a traditional application of the laws of space.

Currently, Zhu Ziyang's teleportation distance is only 500 meters, but his potential is huge. As he develops this ability, the distance will definitely become longer and longer, and being able to travel thousands of miles in an instant will not be a problem!

"Let's go, Nannan, let's go back to the academy," Zhu Ziyang said.

"Mmm," Jiang Nannan said, hugging Zhu Ziyang's waist with eyes full of smiles and anticipation, "Let's go back to the academy and give Sister Xiaotao a surprise!"

"Hehe, okay." Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but give a wry smile. How could he not understand the girl's thoughts? But what could he do besides give a wry smile? Should he really sever ties with Ma Xiaotao? Sorry, maybe he could have done it two years ago, but now, he really couldn't.

Maybe he's just a womanizer! But even his teacher, Mu En, said it's normal for young people to have crushes. Oh well, so be it if he's a womanizer, as long as he doesn't play with young girls' feelings. Besides, they're still young; let their feelings develop naturally.

Zhu Ziyang carried Jiang Nannan and flew at low altitude, quickly leaving Sunset Forest and heading towards Shrek Academy.

"Ziyang, are we really leaving that Yin-Yang Well like this?" In his mind, Electrolux looked puzzled and said, "Such a treasure land, it would be such a waste to leave just like that. This is the first time I've ever encountered such a treasure land! It truly deserves to be called the Land of Fallen Gods!"

In the ancient mythology of Douluo Continent, the nine Dragon Kings were all god-level beings, so it is not inappropriate for Electrox to call the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well the place where gods fell.

"Teacher, don't worry," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, "This isn't our first time here, is it? Now that we've come once and know how to get in, there will be plenty of opportunities to come again in the future."

"Alas! If it were up to my old ways, I would have unleashed an army of undead to plunder all those spiritual herbs and immortal plants, and then moved those two springs into the undead demiplane," Electrolux sighed. "Unfortunately, my strength is now less than a tenth of what it used to be; otherwise, my disciple wouldn't need to be so timid!"

Electrolux knew perfectly well what Zhu Ziyang was wary of: the sea god hidden behind the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! He was also wary of gods, for gods, in any world, are at the top of the food chain!

"Teacher, I have no intention of destroying the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but smile wryly. His teacher's style was truly too arrogant; no wonder he was called the Calamity of the Undead. He said, "My target has always been the Ice Dragon King's corpse at the bottom of the Cold Yin Spring within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. This time, I've gathered definite information, and next time, after making full preparations, I can take action directly. I've already probed it; with my current strength, I cannot penetrate deep into the Cold Yin Spring to reach its bottom."

"Alright, it's good that you can make up your own mind. Then I won't say anything more. Just handle it well yourself," Electrox said with satisfaction.

"Mhm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded.

The two quickly returned to Shrek Academy.

The Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

A thin boy quietly slipped out of the back gate of the White Tiger Duke's mansion and headed north without looking back.

The boy's eyes were bright, but filled with a dark gloom. Hatred and sorrow filled his small face as he said bitterly, "Mother, watch from heaven. No matter how hard I try, one day I will return and trample everything here under my feet. From now on, I will take your surname, Huo, Huo Yuhao."

Young Huo Yuhao fled the Duke's mansion, running towards the Star Dou Great Forest, towards the place where the gears of fate meshed.

As the young Huo Yuhao's figure recedes into the distance, a grand plan slowly unfolds. The pieces of the game are drawn into the fray, and fate begins to play out. The game that will determine the future of Douluo Continent has begun!
