Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"I can't guarantee that that will be the last time."

"In order to protect myself, I must become stronger as soon as possible. Last time, my adoptive parents were killed. Who will it be next time?"

Under the moonlight, Tao Rusu talked about this bloody past. The deep memories were turned over from the depths of her soul, and the scars left behind still retained the pain of the past.

In the past, she was afraid of pain and blood. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could only think of her adoptive parents who died with their eyes open, their painful wails, and the feeling of powerlessness that penetrated deep into her bones.

She stroked her wrist, which no longer had scars, and continued.

"The second thing."

"The woman who left, and these two thugs...they are essentially the same."

"They are all vengeful, mad souls."

"Ao Muxue will also stop at nothing to find the Overlord."

"At that time, she didn't come to save me at all, otherwise she wouldn't have watched my adoptive parents die."

"She doesn't care what I think, but she needs me to pass on this hatred."

"She wanted me to remember that the one who brought me misery was the Tyrant."

"For this reason, it doesn't matter even if she is on my final revenge list."

Tao Rusu sighed softly and said bitterly, "She succeeded."

"She planted a seed of hatred in me, and now it has taken root in my soul and in my scars."

"From now on, I will spend my entire life working to appease this hatred. If I cannot complete this revenge, I will never be able to sleep peacefully. Whenever I close my eyes and find peace, I will think of the dazed and distracted eyes of my loved ones, and their cries."

"I brought disaster upon myself, so I don't deserve happiness and peace."

Standing alone in the courtyard, she was so close, yet so far away.

It seems so far away and unreachable, separated by a wall of hatred.

Hatred trapped her there, forcing her to walk into a desperate situation of loneliness alone, completing a crazy pilgrimage that climaxed with revenge and ended in emptiness.

Faced with such a distance, even Bai Yu felt powerless to cross it.

The weight of the past was far beyond what Bai Yu could just laugh off, and one could feel the bone-chilling chill in just a few words.

The barriers built by the wall in her heart are her despair.

Bai Yu couldn't get close to her, so he could only reply dryly, "I've heard your story..."

"Thank you, you are a suitable listener." Tao Rusu lowered her arms, reached her right hand around her back to grab her left wrist, and smiled gently.

"Why do you want to tell me?" Bai Yu looked straight at Tao Rusu.

"I also want to talk. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'The more secrets a person has, the more they want to tell them.'"

"This isn't a secret, it's a scar." Bai Yu tried to move forward: "Talking about the past, sharing scars, this means..."

"Shhh."

Tao Rusu stretched out her finger and pressed it on his lips. The distance between them instantly became closer. She whispered, "Don't say any more."

"I tell you this just to make you understand."

"Everyone has his own destiny."

"And I feel about my own destiny..."

"I've realized it long ago."

No matter what the outcome is, she is mentally prepared.

She walked past the boy and whispered, "Bai Yu, you must remember this."

"Even if you go to Dragon Country."

"You did it for Su Ruoli."

"It's for yourself."

"Not for me."

"Okay?"

Chapter 356 Where is my brother!

Three weeks to go.

On the second day, after the second elder of the Dragon Clan visited again, Tao Rusu set a time with him.

Long Zuoyou said that the water-walking ceremony is of great importance and requires some time to prepare.

So the time was set for late September.

In other words, there are only three and a half weeks left until the Dragon Country Water Walking Ceremony begins.

Not very abundant.

It is risky to participate in the water-walking ceremony this time. Ao Xuanyue’s disappearance has happened once, and no one can guarantee that it will not happen a second time.

Su Ruoli and Bai Yu were both clearly aware of the danger of getting involved this time.

At the same time, Tao Rusu's identity is too special.

Bai Yu had a premonition that this trip to Dragon Country would most likely trigger a special copy, just like the previous Xujia Village.

He has to do more preparation for this.

The most intuitive preparation is naturally to improve your strength.

The improvement of his strength level is imminent. He believes it is necessary to use the last three weeks to raise his level to level 30, which is the peak of the second level.

The possibility of breaking through to the third level of transcendence in a short period of time is not high, but it is still very likely to reach the 30th level. It just requires more energy and time.

In order to concentrate, he plans to go into seclusion for a period of time.

Staying in the villa, one will indeed become lazy involuntarily and it is difficult to concentrate.

The same principle applies to modern people who have to find a long paid vacation and lock themselves up at home even if they want to play games happily.

If you open your eyes every day and think about work, cooking, laundry, and sweeping the floor, all these little things piled up together will eventually drain your spirit just like daily tasks.

In modern society, there are not many extraordinary people who work in isolation. Almost all of them rely on actual combat and travel to improve their strength. By reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, the shackles of their realm will naturally be broken.

Most of those who choose to go into seclusion are those who have reached the threshold of a certain realm. Penglai Academy has a service that specifically provides these venues, and the fees are not high, but corresponding application qualifications are required.

Bai Yu asked Lu Danxin to handle this matter. The latter was very efficient and the ground staff soon sent a notice stating that the Lingquan Cave for retreat had been reserved in advance.

Bai Yu then spent a day dealing with some miscellaneous matters.

For example, selling pills in exchange for points, notifying Bai Feng Ai in advance that she will be on vacation for the next two weeks, and coaxing Qin Xuezao who was not very happy.

She had just finished her retreat, and Bai Yu was about to go into seclusion again. After coming to Penglai Academy, they had little time to be together, and they lost a lot of time going back and forth.

Su Ruoli's reaction was very calm. Bai Yu was just going into seclusion, not finding a grave for herself to lie down in for eternity. Even if that was the case, she would find a suitable place for herself to lie down.

So Miss Su just patiently packed some spare clothes and some temporary supplies.

"I am leaving."

Bai Yu walked out of the room, carrying a backpack in his hand, and walked as fast as the wind.

As soon as I walked out, I noticed Tao Rusu following me.

"Isn't that necessary?" Bai Yu said, "It's not like I won't be back."

"Just dropping by."

Tao Rusu snorted proudly. She was wearing sportswear and carrying a sports suit. She continued to brush the Death Tower of Chuanwu Academy today.

The journey was almost silent.

Perhaps it was because the topics they had discussed before were too heavy, which resulted in the two of them being unable to find any light-hearted, everyday topics to talk about.

Unfortunately, neither of them is the type to find topics to ease awkwardness, nor do they have the bad habit of saying bad things when they are nervous.

We can get along well because we are of the same mind. If there are certain grudges in our hearts, it will feel awkward no matter what we say, so it is better not to say anything.

Tao Rusu knew very well why Bai Yu took the initiative to go into seclusion this time.

He is so lazy in his daily life and won't do anything unnecessary. He either sits on the sofa reading or watching TV, or stays in the room all night. There is no sign of any effort on his part.

It is not accurate to say that he is a lazy dog. It is just that Tao Rusu can clearly see through Bai Yu that he is a person who "does not work hard unless necessary". He is a person who only invests time in people and things that interest him. Once he loses interest, he will quickly shift his attention. It is not so much that he is only enthusiastic for three minutes, but rather that his patience is limited to the moment he sees the results.

Once they succeed, they will immediately show a bored expression of "as expected".

It's really...very arrogant.

It seemed as if nothing in this world could stump him.

The most infuriating thing is that it seems to be true. Once he invests time and energy, everything will become simple in his hands, as if he was born with a superpower to turn decay into magic.

He probably felt that as long as he worked hard during this retreat, he would be able to achieve his goals and desired results.

But when it comes to the future, who can be 100% sure?

If you are too greedy, you may end up not being able to keep anything.

With mixed feelings, Tao Rusu looked at the road ahead and saw it had reached its end. She stopped and said, "I'm here."

"Okay, see you later." Bai Yu raised his hand and waved goodbye.

Tao Rusu watched him leave and swallowed the words that were stuck in her throat.

The moment before she turned around.

"correct."

A voice came from behind. Tao Rusu turned sideways and looked at the young man standing in the sun.

The boy seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped to look back.

“Actually, I don’t believe in fate.”

"Especially the fate that others have determined for you."

"Destiny is meant to be broken."

"If your destiny is truly invincible."

"Then let it come and see who is more stubborn."

Bai Yu's confidence remains the same as always.

Even what Tao Rusu had said about the past did not scare him at all.

Tao Rusu suddenly realized that he did not go into seclusion with any tragic awakening, but regarded this matter as a challenge. Perhaps it was very difficult, but he believed that he could overcome it.

Even if the enemies you face are the Ten Evils.

you really……

Tao Rusu couldn't help laughing, she bent over with laughter, and laughed for half a minute before wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"As expected, there's no such thing as a wrong nickname, only a wrong name. You really are a blockhead."

Bai Yu's expression remained unchanged: "I know you don't believe me... so let it go first."

"I'm leaving. See you in three weeks."

He walked away on the sunshine, leaving the shadow behind him.

Tao Rusu stood blankly at the entrance of the martial arts arena for a long time.

When she came to her senses, she found that Xing Yaoyao had placed his hands under her chin.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

"I'm afraid your eyeballs will fall out, so I'm holding them for you."

"..."

"Hahaha, if you want to go, just go." Xing Yaoyao teased, "Bai Yu is indeed very outstanding. Many female students want to sleep with him. I often hear people talking about Qianchen Society these days, and he is the most core figure among them."

"I know that too." Tao Rusu regained her usual expression and demeanor, speaking with a certain unstoppable force: "What a pity, they don't have this opportunity."

Xing Yaoyao smiled and said, "Maybe after I graduate, the title of the second most beautiful woman in Chuanwu Academy will belong to you."

Tao Rusu said: "If I have to be the best, I'd rather be the best."
