Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 44 I'm an idol, not gay!

When the trial ended, Poison Undying did not set up any additional soul power pressure to obstruct him.

"Huff... huff huff..." Beibei, surfacing, gasped for breath and swam tirelessly toward the edge of the lake.

Soaked to the bone, he didn't feel relieved until he reached the shore, completely soaked.

Today is the most embarrassing day he has ever had since he began practicing the Innate Secret Method.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

Sweat mingled with the abyss water and dripped from his body.

The clothes were tattered and torn, with threads showing at the cuts. The same was true for the back, with crisscrossing seams from the spine to the buttocks, revealing faint traces of bloody scratches on the flesh.

Being in such a sorry state meant that her body had reached its limit, so Beibei naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by. She immediately activated her innate secret technique to cultivate.

Before long, a splash of water suddenly erupted on the surface of the lake.

Poison-free and untouched by water, he used his soul power to lift the demonic great white shark and appear on the water's surface.

Looking at the disheveled Beibei, he said with satisfaction, "Not bad, very good!"

"The Tyrannosaurus Rex Claw external soul bone has great growth potential, and it is much stronger than when it fought Jin Zhan for the first time."

"What surprised me most was that you were able to use the combat technique of 'Unity of Heaven and Man' so quickly!"

It should be noted that Bei Bei has only had the Jade Slip of Harmony between Heaven and Man for a little over three hundred days, yet the level of proficiency she has in using it is equivalent to the result of several years of hard work by an average Soul Master.

Looking at the enormous Demon Soul Great White Shark, he added, "Today, we'll have an extra meal."

"Eat well, sleep well, and relax all day tomorrow."

"After that, we will proceed to the third stage of cultivating the innate secret techniques."

After saying that, he dragged the ingredients away.

Of course, Beibei, who was in a state of cultivation, could not respond, but she could still hear.

As soon as he finished his cultivation, without even having time to change his clothes, he put on a large trench coat, chewed on a thousand-year-old dragon blood grass, and ran towards the Body Sect's canteen.

"Dry Rice Man Mode, Activated!"

...As the sun sets, the people of Kangshan are far away.

"Gap~"

After finishing her meal, Beibei let out a burp and admired the "scenery of the mountain people".

When he first arrived at the Body Sect, he heard an elder say, "You will be punished by carrying a mountain of stones and running two laps around the chasm," and he thought it was just a bluff.

But later, he witnessed firsthand that almost every day, disciples would carry stone mountains several times their own size and run wildly towards the setting sun.

And among the people fighting the mountain today, there is a familiar figure to Beibei.

He flew over and asked in confusion, "Junior Brother Long, why are you carrying Stone Mountain?"

To be honest, Long Aotian is the most outstanding among the new generation of disciples of the Body Sect, and he is not the type to cheat or shirk responsibility. Bei Bei really can't think of any reason why he could be punished.

Panting heavily, Long Aotian immediately forced himself to breathe smoothly upon seeing that the person who arrived was Bei Bei, and straightened his back, which had been bent over by the weight of the rocky mountain.

Despite putting on a brave face, her voice still carried a hint of bitterness:

"Master Jin, who guided my cultivation, said that my cultivation speed is too slow compared to Senior Brother Bei."

"If things continue at this pace, by the time you, Senior Brother Bei, have achieved minor success in the innate secret techniques, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get started."

"And by chance, the teacher who happened to arrive overheard this, so... I was punished and made to carry the mountain of stones."

Beibei: "..."

After all that, the source of the trouble turned out to be him.

After hesitating for two seconds, he said, "Why don't you take a break?"

"When the sect leader was instructing me on cultivation, he would also force me to rest."

"You've just finished practicing the innate secret technique and then engaged in high-intensity training; I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian refused without even thinking:

"No, I don't need to rest!"

"My teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and I don't want to disappoint him."

"I failed the first time I tried to cultivate the innate secret method, which took a whole year. Now, it's the right thing to do to seize every second."

"Otherwise, just as Elder Jin said, I won't be able to cultivate with Senior Brother Bei."

Beibei: "???"

Oh no! Could you please stop looking at me with those sparkling eyes when you're saying something ambiguous?

You see me as a role model, an idol, but others see us as gay!

He could already feel many gazes directed at him, like thorns in his back, and the soft, feminine laughter of an aunt could penetrate his eardrums.

Unbeknownst to him, a young girl in palace attire bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth. Her delicate white hands gripped the sides of a handkerchief with force, and gradually, the silk threads snapped open, deforming the handkerchief.

Meanwhile, Beibei planned to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

He said fiercely, "Refine it!"

"As long as you don't die from the refining, refine it to the point of death!"

"I'm leaving now."

Watching Beibei's departing figure, Long Aotian was first stunned, then he understood.

"Yes...that's right!"

"Brother Bei is encouraging me."

"Run a couple more laps!"

...the morning after tomorrow.

Beibei arrived at the third stage of training grounds with the poison-free spirit.

Beneath the natural barrier lies an extremely hidden cave.

Upon entering, a wave of heat swept in, and the air was burned so intensely that it rippled.

Then?

Then, his soul power was sealed away by Poison Undying once again.

"Hmm...actually, you could have told me in advance."

"Is it really necessary to make it look like a sneak attack?"

Ignoring his complaints, she instead said, "The human body will develop an unconscious self-protection mechanism in extreme environments."

"When we get there, if you hesitate for even a second, I'll kick you in."

Beibei: "..."

"So, what's inside?"

"Yangquan!"

"On the continent, there are a few places that are blessed by the creation of heaven and earth, with an exceptionally rich concentration of primordial energy, making them treasure lands that everyone yearns for, such as Shrek's Golden Tree."

"Our Body Sect naturally has one as well, namely Yangquan here."

"However, I prefer to call it a dangerous and treacherous place rather than a treasure trove, because danger and opportunity coexist here."

After traversing a steep, descending slope, the two descended to the ground below the horizon.

At the same time, the temperature in the air suddenly increased.

A crescent-shaped pool of fiery red spring water came into view, and Beibei's eyes lit up with surprise.

"It bears some resemblance to the fire eye of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye recorded in the academy's catalog."

Poison Undying nodded and said, "When the predecessors of the Body Sect discovered this place, they carried out a renovation of it according to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Diagram that had been passed down."

"Ah... I can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Even copying a cat's image can greatly benefit the preservation of this place."

Regarding Yangquan, Du Busi explained it in great detail, um... it's just to experience the feeling of kicking Beibei.

However, the kick missed.

Poison Never Dies: "..."

Beibei was always one step ahead of him, jumping into Yangquan.

Then, a strange thing happened: when he jumped into Yangquan, there was no "plop" sound of solid objects falling into the water, and not even a splash.
