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

"You're not coming with me again..." Tang Ya pouted, sullenly stepping on the damp, fresh soil. Her delicate light blue boots were stained with mud, but the girl didn't notice at all.

Hunting spirit beasts is a dangerous undertaking. Without a strong companion, she could easily end up like the Grandmaster who recklessly led Tang San into the forest ten thousand years ago, only to be utterly terrified and lose her life.

But Beibei's repeated excuses had completely worn her off.

This trip into the forest also carried a sense of defiance.

She wanted to prove that she, Tang Ya, was no less capable than anyone else.

It's fine even without Beibei!

(Dark version of Tang Ya)

As Tang Ya muttered to herself, sensing the eerie yet quiet atmosphere ahead, a desire to retreat gradually arose in her heart. Even though this was only the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, it wasn't a place anyone could venture into.

Someone like her, who is at level 30 and hasn't even broken through to the Soul Master level, would be in mortal danger if she encountered a Soul Beast that is several hundred years old, let alone one that is a thousand years old...

"Should we go back?" Tang Ya hesitated for a moment, but gritted her teeth and continued walking forward.

He wanted to become the leader of the Tang Clan and avenge his sect.

How could we possibly fail because of acquiring a spirit ring?

"Huh..." Tang Ya suddenly sniffed the air, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise: "This smells so good... Is this grilled fish?!"

"Let's go take a look."

……

"call……"

On the other side, Lu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected, the Treasure-Hunting Rat doesn't need to form bonds; one is enough..."

Seeing that Tang Ya had uttered that classic line, making Xiao Huo's face turn red, he belatedly realized something was wrong, stuck out his tongue, and changed the subject: "Want to join the Tang Sect? I'll help you hunt for your first spirit ring!"

"And there are also limited-time free admission slots for Tang Sect disciples of Shrek Academy!"

"Sorry, thank you..." Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of wariness. He nodded slightly and left.

"Sigh, am I too stupid? But it seems my IQ is stuck at the point where I only realize I've said something wrong after I've already said it," Tang Ya said dejectedly, looking utterly frustrated.

She gently bit her red lips and exhaled a breath of stale air.

A forced smile appeared on her delicate, pretty face.

……

"Is this a spirit ring...?" The thin boy spat out a mouthful of blood, leaning against the tree beside him, looking at the spirit ring in front of him with a mixture of surprise and complexity in his eyes.

White is also the lowest-level soul ring in the world of soul masters.

If he absorbs this spirit ring, he will most likely have a hard time avenging his mother's death. But if he doesn't absorb it... then forget about revenge, it's hard to say whether he can even survive.

"So... absorb it." Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, and following the instructions in the book he had seen earlier, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to draw upon the white soul ring.

But in the next instant, the whole world seemed to tremble.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the boy's terrified gaze fell upon a massive crack in the ground ahead, from which emerged a colossal, snow-white, crystalline silkworm, stretching for an unknown distance, looking down upon Huo Yuhao.

"Hahahaha, God bless Tianmeng! We can actually find a human with spiritual attributes at this time..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the thin boy with great joy.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao asked cautiously, shrinking into a ball.

He realized that the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions.

"I am a million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Do you dream of becoming a god? Let me help you achieve godhood, hehehe." The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sized up the boy and spoke.

"I do!" The boy's eyes were filled with excitement.

After hardship comes happiness.

Whether it is true or not, as long as it can avenge my mother, what's wrong with taking a gamble?

Anyway, all he has left is this worthless life.

"Alright, bear with it, I'm a bit big..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pressed against Huo Yuhao's forehead, about to make a sacrifice, but in her big pupils, she suddenly felt a little depressed: "How can you have such poor talent... I'm afraid you won't even be able to become a Soul Emperor in the future."

Suddenly, its gaze abruptly stopped.

Suddenly, he looked to the other side.

"I'm sorry, child, you're just too weak..."

The enormous figure suddenly burrowed back into the ground and roared off towards the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes in a daze.

That's all?

That's it?!

He shook his head helplessly. He was really unlucky. He hadn't even seized such a great opportunity. Since that was the case, he would turn around and absorb the wind baboon's soul ring.

As he turned his head, the white spirit ring next to the corpse of the wind baboon had already disappeared. He remembered that when the big bug left, the wind and waves it created had blown away the ten-year spirit ring.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

I want to cry without tears.

……

"Hehehe, let Brother Tianmeng enter your body." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, looking down at Lu Cheng from above, its head touching his forehead, and then it transformed into a white light and surged into his body.

It wasn't until the complete fusion that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was truly astonished.

"Such monstrous talent, such abnormal physical strength."

"And... a second awakening of a mental-type martial soul."

"This is truly a blessing from heaven for Tianmeng!"

Overjoyed, Tianmeng didn't forget to take away the silkworm. As its aura disappeared, several powerful auras suddenly rose from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, as if they were patrolling the entire forest and then began to roar in frustration after finding nothing.

The sound was incredibly soothing to Tianmeng.

"Let those beasts exploit me every day."

Before it could swim freely in the vast sea of ​​spirit for long, a sudden clap of thunder shook the heavens and earth. A gray shadow, attracted by the sound of its sacrifice to Lu Cheng, drifted into the sea of ​​spirit along with it.

Electrolux!

Lu Cheng smiled.

Seeing that the displeased Tianmeng kept attacking the gray mist, but the latter remained unmoved, she was completely certain that it was the only hexagonal warrior in the entire series, the Undead Scourge Ilex. After all, even if the latter was only a trace of consciousness, it was still at the god level. No matter how strong Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mental power was, it could not disturb it in the slightest.

The difference between mortals and gods is still quite significant.

"Damn it! This is the place I just found to live!" Tianmeng roared in impotence, then sullenly retreated back into the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"Hmph, let me recover for a while before we talk about it."

"By the way, Xiao Cheng, I met a little guy earlier..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said apologetically, "I left in such a hurry that I think I extinguished the ten-year spirit ring he had worked so hard to obtain. If possible, please help me get him a suitable spirit ring. I'd really appreciate it."

"Okay," Lu Cheng said with a smile.

P.S.: I won't torture Huo Gua or make him a babysitter. I'll treat him as a marginal character, give him a suitable soul ring after he gets his chance, and then let him avenge his mother and fulfill his dream.

Chapter 79: The pitiful Wu Feng was manipulated by Lu Cheng; the tragic death of Tang Ya.

With the arrival of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the entire Sea of ​​Spiritual Power was already tinged with a layer of dazzling pale gold. After all, it was a million-year soul ring plus a super-sized power bank. Although most of its power was sealed during the sacrifice, the increase in spiritual power was exaggerated for Lu Cheng, who was at the Soul King level.

And it has a soul ring with four skills.

Mental detection, mental sharing, mental interference, soul impact.

As a huge blood-red eye in the sky slowly opened, an area nearly two thousand meters in diameter was completely exposed to Lu Cheng's perception, like a God's-eye view, allowing him to clearly and slowly see every soul beast and the rhythm of every life.

It's no different from perspective.

This kind of mental detection can even predict the opponent's next move and capture their movement trajectory, and this "perception" is simply too well-suited for archers.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a million-year soul ring. Although Tianmeng is often criticized as the weakest million-year soul beast, the value of this oversized power bank is undeniable.

"Ouch, I fainted! Young Master, are you alright?!" Wu Feng stood up unsteadily, rubbing his dizzy head. He glanced at Ning Tian lying on the ground and called out anxiously.

"It's nothing... We encountered a spirit-type soul beast, and you were all knocked unconscious." Lu Cheng squatted down next to Ning Tian, ​​pretending to touch his wrist to feel the strong pulse, and explained to Wu Feng, who was looking on with concern.

"So that's how it is... Hmph!" Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and then realized that he was very close to Lu Cheng's incredibly handsome face. He snorted and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Hehe..." Lu Cheng chuckled as he sized up the girl.

The latter's earlobes were also faintly red.

Is it really lace?

I do not believe.

"You like her?" Lu Cheng asked leisurely.

"Who, who said that?!" Wu Feng jumped up like a small animal whose tail had been stepped on, his face flushed red, staring at Lu Cheng with anger and guilt.

"You don't even have the courage to admit it? I overestimated you." Lu Cheng quietly sized up Wu Feng, then shook his head with a smile.

“You…” Wu Feng gritted her teeth, her fair fists clenched tightly, wishing she could punch this despicable guy in front of her hard in the face, which would completely tear open the stubborn and painful scars in her heart.

She liked Ning Tian, ​​but this was not accepted or recognized by the world. The young master was also focused on finding a powerful "male" soul master as a partner, and completely ignored her. She hated countless times that she was not a boy, otherwise she would not have had no chance at all.

"Why do you like her?" Lu Cheng didn't care at all. His warm smile was like a devil's as he continued to reopen the girl's wounds.

“She is my young master. We grew up together and are like sisters…” Wu Feng stared coldly at Lu Cheng, but as if by magic, she still spoke up to explain.

"So you want to spend the rest of your life with her?" Lu Cheng stroked his chin and concluded.

"Hmm." Wu Feng nodded quietly.

"Nothing... other feelings? Like taking things a step further or something." Lu Cheng smiled with an unusually gossipy air.

"No! What are you thinking!" Wu Feng said, both embarrassed and angry.

“I’m thinking, silly girl… you might have misunderstood something. What you two have isn’t love, it’s friendship… you could say best friends,” Lu Cheng said with a smile.
