Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

Orange also turned to look at Shen Yumo, a questioning glint in her eyes.

Shen Yumo didn't say much. A pair of simple, unadorned gray wings unfurled behind him, emitting soft white light that propelled him into the sky. Although he didn't seem to be qualified as a level six soul master at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, how could he not have a flying soul tool?

Orange's flying soul tool was orange-red; she seemed to have a particular fondness for this color. Three pairs of folded wings unfurled in the air as she flew straight north. At this moment, the difference in their soul tools became apparent. Orange and Keke flew effortlessly ahead, their speed incredibly fast. Moreover, a faint light emanated from their folded wings, forming a protective film on their bodies, so that even their heads barely moved during flight.

Shen Yumo was in a much worse situation. He deliberately walked very slowly, and the two women in front of him would stop and wait for him from time to time so that he could barely keep up.

Keke was much smug now. Whenever she waited for Shen Yumo, her eyes were filled with mockery and disdain. She was very proud of herself.

Shen Yumo didn't react much to this.

However, during the flight, he had firmly memorized the overall shape of Keke and Ju Zi's two pairs of broken wings and their core magic array through mental detection, which might come in handy in the future.

Since Bai Ziwen didn't teach him any examples, he found examples himself to verify the theory.

Even now, Shen Yumo still didn't know where their destination, the Jingyang Mountains, was. He was simply flying with the two women. However, he could glean some information from what Ju Zi had said before they set off: spirit beasts roamed the Jingyang Mountains. Was this something Teacher Xuan had arranged for him to quickly acquire his fourth spirit ring? It was quite possible.

After flying for a full hour, Shen Yumo said he needed to rest, and without waiting for the two women's agreement, he began to descend. He still had some soul power left, but he couldn't afford to exhaust it all…

Having fallen from nowhere, Shen Yumo found a relatively flat spot and immediately sat down cross-legged to recover her soul power through meditation...

Nanzi and Keke also landed one after the other.

Keke stuck her tongue out at Shen Yumo, who was meditating. "Wasn't he very arrogant before? Turns out his soul tool is only this level. He can't be arrogant now, can he? Sister Orange, you're right. If we're given enough distance, this guy has no chance against us at all..."

Ju Zi didn't say anything, but stared at Shen Yumo with a thoughtful expression...

She was the only one of the four who witnessed the entire battle yesterday. What impressed her most about Shen Yumo wasn't the overwhelmingly powerful Dark Gold Terror Claw, but rather the final punch that slammed into the Purple Wood Soul-Guiding Shield…

In that instant, Orange felt as if someone was standing in front of her...

……

……

Chapter 236 Jingyang Mountains Part Two

...Like a monarch ruling over all the wilderness, in her eyes, the originally wise, intelligent, and powerful Zi Mu was so utterly vulnerable. With a single punch, it instantly collapsed.

She would never forget the dazzling golden light in Shen Yumo's eyes and his supreme majesty at that moment.

The nausea from the pain she had previously suffered was gradually replaced by curiosity. Just how many more amazing things did this enigmatic boy from Shrek Academy possess?

She was, after all, just a student, and didn't have the same authority as Xuan Ziwen to investigate Shen Yumo's background. But she could clearly sense that he possessed many secrets. Shrek Academy, truly mysterious!

"Alright, Keke. We're out here together, so we have to stick together. There will always be disagreements. If we can't cooperate when we encounter danger, wouldn't that hurt each other? Let's rest for a while." Orange pulled Keke down to sit.

However, Shen Yumo's recovery ability greatly surprised the two women. In just a quarter of an hour, he had already opened his eyes again and was full of energy once more.

"Your soul power has recovered?" Keke asked in surprise.

She didn't see Shen Yumo using any auxiliary soul tools like baby bottles!

Shen Yumo nodded and said, "It's ready to go."

For two years, despite having the greatest resource support from Shrek Academy, his soul power increased at an incredibly slow pace. He only barely reached level sixty thanks to Elder Mu's dying gift… Such slow progress in soul power, aided by his second spirit and through diligent training, was clearly not simple. His soul power concentration far surpassed that of ordinary soul masters of the same level. More importantly, his sustained combat power and recovery ability were far superior to those of other soul masters of the same level.

She wondered if she could complete the real mission she had come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Thinking of this, a dazzling light flashed in Shen Yumo's star-like eyes.

Ju Zi caught the light in his eyes and realized that her heartstrings had clearly fluttered.

Is that really something a teenager could look like? Why does it feel like I'm seeing the cold gaze of a powerful soul beast?

They took to the air again. This time, Ju Zi didn't fly ahead with Ke Ke, but chose to fly alongside Shen Yu Mo.

"Shen Yumo, the Jingyang Mountains we're going to this time are located in the north-central part of the Sun Moon Continent, about a thousand miles away, which will take about three hours of flying. The Jingyang Mountains cover a vast area, with branches extending in all directions, and are covered with abundant vegetation. The mountains are rich in mineral resources. However, they are also home to many special soul beasts that are fond of metal energy. Teacher Xuan asked me to tell you this."

Shen Yumo nodded and said, "Thank you, senior." Ju Zi's gesture of goodwill made him suppress his inner hostility. His tone also softened again. However, he still didn't say much, for too much talk could lead to mistakes. It would be impossible for him to say he wasn't wary of the two women.

Keke flew to the other side of the orange tree, her lips trembling in silence. Her hostility towards Shen Yumo hadn't lessened for a moment. She clearly remembered the icy feeling she'd experienced the instant Shen Yumo grabbed her neck. At that moment, she truly felt like she was going to die, and her desperate struggles only resulted in her entire body going numb instantly. At that time, she even felt as if she would never wake up again.

After flying for another hour or so, we landed again to rest.

"Let's eat before continuing our journey. At our current speed, we should reach the Jingyang Mountains before evening." Orange glanced at the sky and, as the team leader, gave the order to rest.

She was very well prepared for this journey, quickly taking out a large amount of food from her storage soul tool. As a girl who loved food, she brought quite a lot: vegetables, fruits, frozen fresh meat, various seasonings, and even a full range of cooking utensils and tableware.

Seeing Shen Yumo staring at her in disbelief, Ju Zi couldn't help but say smugly, "This young lady is about to show off her skills and let you taste my outdoor barbecue. It's absolutely delicious. Be careful, you might even eat your tongue!"

As she spoke, she skillfully set up the barbecue grill she had brought, and then began to light the fire and prepare.

Shen Yumo watched her do this with some surprise, a strange feeling suddenly rising in his heart. He was usually the one grilling meat for others, but this time it was the other way around. It was a completely new experience for him. Without saying a word, he sat down beside her and watched quietly.

"Hmph, you got off easy. Sister Orange's cooking is absolutely superb; even Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie rarely get to eat it." After flying for two hours since leaving the academy, Ke Ke seemed to have forgotten about her previous unpleasantness with Shen Yu Mo. Although she still had a bit of a coquettish tone, the hostility in her eyes had largely disappeared.

Shen Yumo asked, "Senior, who are you?"

What type of Soul Master?

Shen Yumo's address of "senior sister" made Keke's expression soften considerably. She said with a touch of arrogance, "I chose a high-burst, mid-range combat-type Soul Master. If I hadn't been worried about damaging the lab that day, do you think you could have succeeded? One shot would have rendered you unable to take care of yourself."

After carefully considering Keke's words and recalling the enormous cannon she had taken out that day, Shen Yumo had a vague idea of ​​the direction she was heading.

While feeling exhilarated, Shen Yumo also secretly lamented that Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department still lacked such a clear division. The division of Soul Guidance Departments was just as important as the division of Soul Masters into Control, Power Attack, Agility Attack, Support, and so on! She had to send this message back as soon as possible. Just this one message alone made her trip worthwhile.

As they pondered this, a rich aroma wafted over, attracting their attention.

"Wow, it smells so good." Keke ran to the orange in a few steps, her eyes shining brightly, and her drooling look was extremely cute.

Orange's grilling skills are indeed excellent; the two pheasants she brought out have been grilled to a golden brown.

Shen Yumo's nose twitched, and she immediately discerned that at least a dozen kinds of spices had been used in this roast chicken. The roasting method was slightly different from her own, but she could tell from the aroma and the golden-yellow skin that the taste would definitely not be bad.

Orange glanced at Keke and laughed, "They always make fun of me for being a glutton, but you're not much better than me, you just hide it better."

Keke giggled and said, "I'll tolerate whatever you say right now. Hurry up, I'm starving. As long as you feed me, I'll do whatever you want."

Chapter 237 Jingyang Mountain Range III

Ju Zi glared at her irritably, then glanced at Shen Yumo, who had no reaction, and chuckled and scolded in a low voice, "You dare to say such crazy things, aren't you afraid people will misunderstand?"

Roasted chicken, roasted bread, and chunks of green vegetables, along with a thick soup made of pepper, chili, sour pepper, and beef, made up a sumptuous lunch for Shen Yumo and her two companions.

Shen Yumo's studies at Shrek Academy had made him quite sensitive to food. Although he wasn't picky, he had to admit that Ju Zi's cooking skills were quite good. After the meal, the three of them became much closer. The awkwardness and antagonism they felt when they first left the academy quietly melted away.

"How about that? I wasn't bragging, was I? Sister Orange's cooking is so delicious. Let's see if you dare to offend us again. If it weren't for Sister Orange's kind heart, you wouldn't even get to eat this meal." Ke'a proudly showed off in front of Shen Yumo.

Shen Yumo chuckled and said, "Sister, don't hold a grudge about what happened that day. How about this, I'll cook dinner, as an apology to you and Sister Ju, okay?"

"You can cook too?" Orange and A-A asked in unison, but Orange looked curious while A-A looked skeptical.

Shen Yumo smiled and said, "We'll know when we try."

The two women's gazes softened noticeably. Ju Zi's expression was natural, while A Ke, though well-concealed, still couldn't escape Shen Yu Mo's notice of the changes deep in her eyes.

They are truly senior students of Xi Liang!

"Alright, I'll leave dinner to you. But to keep things fresh, I only brought a limited amount of ingredients. Once we get to the Jingyang Mountains, we'll probably have to adapt to the local conditions."

The three set off again. It was clear that this wasn't the first time Ju Zi and He A had been to the Jingyang Mountains. As they flew, Ju Zi began to tell Shen Yumo some things to be aware of.

"The overall shape of the Jingyang Mountains resembles a giant spider. The central mountain range covers a vast area, with eight branch ranges extending in different directions like eight legs. These branch ranges intertwine, protecting the central mountain range. The number of spirit beasts in the branch ranges is relatively small, but the mineral resources are abundant. However, the number of spirit beasts in the central mountain range is much larger, including many powerful ones. In particular, the main peak, Jingyang Peak, is a forbidden area."

Shen Yumo asked curiously, "With the strength of the Sun Moon Empire and the development of soul tools, it shouldn't be too difficult to develop the mineral resources of Jingyang Peak's main peak, right?"

Ju Zi shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate Jingyang Peak. On the continent, the Star Dou Great Forest near your Shrek Academy is undoubtedly the number one gathering place for soul beasts, and the Jingyang Mountain Range can also rank in the top five. If you want to fully develop this place, you would have to use a powerful long-range soul tool to bomb the entire Jingyang Mountain Range. Even then, you would still have to withstand the fierce counterattacks of the soul beasts living inside. No one can predict how many casualties would be caused."

"Although the Jingyang Mountains must contain abundant and precious mineral deposits, the spirit beasts here are an extremely important resource for our Sun Moon Empire. Naturally, we cannot exhaust them. In terms of spirit beast resources, our Sun Moon Empire is far inferior to the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent. The Jingyang Mountains are already our largest gathering place for spirit beasts, and we are too busy protecting them. Therefore, even if we know there are precious mineral deposits, we will only develop the edges of the branches at most. We will never push inward. However, we also have a large army stationed near the Jingyang Mountains..."

At this point, Ju Zi suddenly stopped, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and smiled, "I can't tell you any more; it's a military secret."

Shen Yumo smiled and said, "I don't want to know anything about military matters; they have nothing to do with me."

Ah-Ah said, "We've told you so much already, shouldn't you tell us about yourself? What abilities did you use that day?"

Seeing the two girls' curious expressions, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I am a Twin Martial Soul Master."

Upon hearing the words "twin martial souls," both Ju Zi and Ke A's eyes widened in surprise. He A's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, "Wow, so twin martial souls really do exist! No wonder you're so powerful!"

The two women were far more shocked than Shen Yumo had imagined, which made him wonder, "Are there no Soul Masters with twin Martial Souls in the Sun Moon Empire?"

Ju Zi shook her head firmly and said, "I can say for sure that there isn't. It seems that there has never been a Soul Master with twin Martial Souls in the history of the Sun Moon Empire. Even in your original Douluo Continent, it's very rare."

Ah Ah asked excitedly, "Tell me quickly, what's the difference between twin martial souls? What are your two martial souls?"

Shen Yumo remained silent for a moment. Perhaps because of the simultaneous appearances of him, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, he didn't feel much about the twin martial souls. In recent years, both his second martial soul and the Demon Blade Thousand Blades had been very quiet, except for releasing some sealing power to merge with him after his cultivation reached a certain level. They hadn't had any major influence on him since. It seemed they were really preparing him to develop on his own. But Shen Yumo knew very well that his two martial souls were his greatest reliance, his true support. They were only appearing less often because they were afraid he would become too dependent on them. And they seemed quite satisfied with his progress over the past two years.

Shen Yumo's heart skipped a beat. He realized that coming with the two girls this time was definitely the right decision. Perhaps Teacher Xuan would be more careful and not let his exchange student know too much about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. But Ju Zi and Ke Ke were clearly much less wary of him. The things they unintentionally said were quite helpful to him.

"So what is your soul skill? Especially the one that distorts the surrounding light, I couldn't even aim at you," A-A asked curiously.

Nanzi frowned slightly and said, "What?" Asking a Soul Master about their Soul Skills is a major taboo.

Shen Yumo, however, said nonchalantly, "That's one of my auxiliary soul skills called Mental Interference. It affects you through mental power. Within the range of my Mental Interference, the accuracy of soul masters will be greatly reduced. Unless their mental power is higher than mine, the impact will be less."

Ah Ah pressed on, "Then what is the range of your mental interference?"

Shen Yumo smiled without saying a word; he couldn't answer that question—it was his real secret.

Orange glared at Keke, coughed and stuck out her tongue, but didn't ask any more questions, clearly realizing that she had gone a bit too far.

As a beautiful sunset rose on the western horizon, they finally arrived near their destination. Looking out from high above, the Jingyang Mountains resembled a giant spider, or perhaps a colossal octopus, sprawling across the land—solemn, majestic, and magnificent.

Although both are habitats of spirit beasts, the feeling Shen Yumo experienced here was completely different from that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Starry Sky Forest is deep and boundless, but it also has a wild and fierce atmosphere. Perhaps its natural depth is far less than that of the Starry Sky Forest, but it is more aggressive.

Chapter 238 Jingyang Mountains Part 4

...The Starry Sky Forest is deep and boundless, but it has a wild and fierce atmosphere. Perhaps its natural resources are far less than those of the Starry Sky Forest, but it is more aggressive.

“Let’s rest nearby tonight. We can go into the mountains again tomorrow to test the soul tool and also try our luck finding a suitable soul beast for you,” Orange said.

The three landed a hundred miles away from the Jingyang Mountains and set up camp in a high and flat location. Thanks to their storage soul tools, the soul masters could carry a considerable amount of supplies. With Shen Yumo's help, the three people and three tents were quickly set up.

Keke looked at Shen Yumo, who was diligently helping her set up the tent, and said with a smile, "I remember someone said that I'm going to show off my skills tonight! Don't let us down."

Shen Yumo chuckled and said, "Yes, I'll prepare it right away. Please wait a moment. I'll see if I have any suitable ingredients here; the fresher the food, the better it will be when cooked."
