Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

Zhongli Wu's warm voice came through.

"It's alright, Master." Ye Guyi tried her best to keep her expression calm, avoiding looking at the figures, and spoke slowly.

"..."

Zhongli Wu smiled. He was naturally very satisfied with Ye Guyi's addition. The Fallen Angel Martial Soul meant that evil soul masters no longer needed to worry about the so-called restraint of the Angel Martial Soul.

Moreover, its top-tier martial spirit will ensure the continued legacy of the Holy Spirit Cult.

That's why he personally brought Ye Guyi with him and launched this surprise attack on the Star Luo Empire, replicating the feats of the Body Sect. Of course, this time they were even more insane than the Body Sect; their target was... the auspicious beast.

That's right, we forcibly took the auspicious beast back.

Their plan was actually quite sound; they had already taken all necessary precautions. They would simply kidnap the auspicious beast and then pin the blame on Shrek Academy, which was located next to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He dusted himself off and ran off to hide in the Demon Forest.

Even if their whereabouts were exposed and Di Tian came after them, they were confident that they could use a treasure of sufficient value to persuade the one in the Demon Forest to help them. With the help of the two Limit Douluo of their sect, this was their confidence.

Therefore, they are determined to obtain the auspicious beast!

Several other retainers, including Wuyun, also nodded slightly. Their black robes billowed, and the Holy Spirit Sect's strongest members were gathered, demonstrating the importance they placed on this mission.

Ye Guyi, however, seemed somewhat absent-minded, her gaze falling on Lu Cheng again as she lightly bit her lip.

Teacher...

It was the same familiar face, the same warm smile.

But the one by his side wasn't her...

Ye Guyi remained expressionless, but clenched her fists, suppressing her almost pathological, even manic, possessiveness.

Teacher, just you wait. Sooner or later, I will throw you into a secret room and whip you severely.

She doesn't want to, and is unwilling to, appear and acknowledge Lu Cheng, even though this burning, ardent love is almost bursting out of her chest.

She plans to wait until she has accumulated enough strength before throwing Lu Cheng into the secret room and then ruthlessly tormenting him!

She turned her head away, forcing herself not to look anymore, afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist.

"Master, how do we deal with those people..." Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng raised an eyebrow, glancing at the campfire smoke rising in the distance. He naturally didn't care about the few young figures, but he had to pay attention to the white-haired old woman.

The power emanating from the latter made even him feel a little uneasy.

"..."

"Go around it."

After a long silence, Zhongli Wu slowly spoke.

He frowned slightly and glanced at the white-haired old woman. "This old fellow is quite capable. Our target is the auspicious beast, so we don't need to alert them. Just be careful not to let them enter the secret formation and cause trouble."

"Yes." Zhang Peng nodded and said nothing more.

Time passed second by second.

Lu Cheng felt increasingly uneasy. As his spiritual power surged out like a tide, enveloping an area of ​​several thousand meters around him, a strange expression finally appeared on his face.

"Hehe, you figured it out."

A mocking voice rang out from the sea of ​​the spirit.

Electrolux's aged figure, dressed in a gray-black robe, slowly appeared, staring at Lu Cheng with a kind and gentle expression. "I didn't expect you to be so perceptive."

"Teacher, you noticed it too?" Lu Cheng asked in surprise.

“Not bad, very crude dark magic, but it’s starting to take shape…” Electrox stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"It seems these guys are after someone from the Star Dou Great Forest... Don't worry, it's not you." Electrox said leisurely, "They deliberately bypassed you when they set up the formation."

"..."

Lu Cheng frowned.

The Holy Spirit Cult has made a move against the Star Dou Great Forest?

In his memory, these guys wouldn't have been so bold, and besides, in the original story, they shouldn't have had any grudges against the Star Dou Great Forest.

Could it be...?

A name welled up in Lu Cheng's mind.

"An auspicious beast?!"

His pupils suddenly contracted. Could it be that he had altered the original timeline, causing some kind of deviation... But that doesn't make sense either. Why would the Holy Spirit Cult need such a large-scale operation and auspicious beasts?

There's no reason for it.

Or perhaps someone wants a mythical beast.

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. During the last two simulations, he joined the Holy Spirit Cult and even reached the core level in a true sense. However, there was one thing that puzzled him and he still couldn't figure it out.

The holy ruler enshrined at the head of the altar—which demon god is he?

Even though the Holy Spirit Church was ultimately destroyed by him, with none spared, they never saw this Holy King again.

Now that he and Wang Dong'er have just escaped Tang San's control, the Holy Spirit Cult is already eager to capture the auspicious beast. And, according to his guess, the auspicious beast should contain a fragment of Xiao Qi's divine consciousness hidden within its body...

If Tang San is truly behind the Holy Spirit Cult.

That would be quite amusing.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy had a tacit understanding that could be described as ambiguous. The latter sent its disciples to exterminate evil soul masters and continuously reduce the number of righteous geniuses on the continent, while the former secretly developed in the shadows. Mu En and Long Xiaoyao had been in contact through letters. If both forces were orchestrated by the same person behind the scenes...

He shook his head, dismissing this bizarre conjecture from his mind.

However, no matter what, the auspicious beast must not let those guys succeed.

Lu Cheng's expression was solemn.

“They’re about to begin…” Electrolux said slowly.

As Lu Cheng opened his eyes, his vast spiritual power vaguely touched a strange barrier. If one were to get too close, it would devour all of his spiritual power.

“The formation will be fully formed in a few minutes. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to enter. Moreover, the aura inside will be shielded, and even the Black Dragon King here may not be able to sense it,” Electrox said.

Lu Cheng withdrew from the Sea of ​​Spirit, smiled at Tang Ya and Wang Dong'er, and said, "I'm going to take a stroll over there for a while."

"Go quickly and come back quickly," Old Chen said calmly, nodding slightly.

"it is good."

Lu Cheng vanished from the spot in a flash.

They charged straight into the great formation set up by that secret technique.

"..."

Chapter 167 Scientific Research on Ice Bone Technique; The Three Zhongli Brothers

"what?"

As if atop an ancient tree in the clouds, Zhongli Wu, clad in a long black robe, narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a hint of surprise, "That kid came in..."

He never expected that this kid would stumble upon the perfect trap they had set for the auspicious beast.

"Since that's the case, then we can't let him live." Zhongli Wu's face turned cold, and he said calmly, "Zhongli Tian, ​​Di, and Ren, the three of you go and eliminate this threat. Make it quick; the auspicious beast is about to emerge..."

"Yes!"

A man in black robes bowed slightly behind them, revealing a dark and aged face with a somewhat eerie smile, before leading the two men away.

There were no unnecessary words. After all, in their eyes, dealing with a young child at the Soul King realm was no different from killing a chicken. Sending the three brothers was already giving them enough face.

Ye Guyi's jade-like hands clenched slightly, her expression calm, but her gaze remained fixed on the young man.

She believed that with her master's strength, he was definitely not as simple as he appeared. However, these three old ghosts, Zhongli, were the real culprits who slaughtered her family. They were all at the peak of the Soul Douluo realm and were also evil Soul Masters. Even an ordinary Title Douluo would have to be wary of them if they joined forces.

if……

Fine, at worst, when Master can't hold on any longer, she can ask Zhongli Wu to spare his life. Although they can meet earlier, it's not impossible for her to keep Lu Cheng as her sugar daddy.

"..."

"Someone's coming."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from the Sea of ​​Spirit. Its forehead glowed with a faint golden light, and its vast and boundless spiritual power swept across dozens of miles, even "scanning" out Zhongli Wu and the others who were furthest away.

The three figures that drifted toward Lu Cheng were particularly eye-catching.

"The Three Ghosts of Zhongli".

Lu Cheng chuckled lightly; they were old acquaintances after all.

"No problem. They're just three Soul Douluos. With my newly developed Ice Bone Explosion, sacrificing a bone dragon will be enough to blast them to pieces." Ilex's gentle voice echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Okay." Lu Cheng nodded.

He dared to venture here because of Elder Yi's guarantee that this so-called formation could be broken with a single hand.

The confidence stemmed from the "Ice Bone Explosion" that Electrox had recently developed using the Ice Explosion Technique. After all, the principle of Corpse Explosion was to convert every inch of flesh and bone of the corpse into soul power and detonate it. The principle of the Ice Explosion Technique was an advanced version of Corpse Explosion... freezing the corpse, and when it exploded, it not only carried the corpse's strength from its lifetime but also the frost's auxiliary attack.

Ice Bone Explosion involves attaching ice to the bones of the undead and then detonating it. Unlike a regular Ice Explosion spell, these undead bones covered in ice... move.

In the original work, Huo Gua's Ice Explosion Technique was indeed intimidating, but that was based on the enemy stepping into a pre-set "trap". The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was blasted was near the frozen corpse of the "Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast" when Huo Gua detonated it, causing tons of damage.

This can be interpreted as the Grim Reaper being so powerful that he can control corpses to "come back to life," pounce on the enemy, and launch a self-destruction.

That's a bit scary.

After all, when a massive bone dragon charges at you at an astonishing speed and detonates with a force equivalent to its total strength, it's no longer just a simple explosion...

It is art.

Lu Cheng smiled. He had finally met these guys in the real world, but... he hoped they would accept his big gift.

"Kid, blame your bad luck."

Zhong Liren arrived first, letting out a sinister, chuckling laugh. His eyes were like a cat playing with a mouse, as if he intended to toy with it.

But he was stopped by the more composed Zhong Litian.

"A swift and decisive victory."

"Yes, elder brother." Zhong Liren shook his head helplessly, brandishing his long staff. A black leopard spirit emerged from it, its skin surrounded by faint, eerie green light. It moved through the air without leaving a trace, silently rushing towards Lu Cheng.
