The charred ground was barren of grass, as if it had been baptized by thunder and lightning, and that was indeed the case. However, after several years of recovery, no trace of the battle could be seen here.
In the center of the clearing is a large, bottomless hole, and a faint light is shining at the bottom of the hole.
A wolf-like soul beast panted heavily and slowly came to the entrance of the cave. The blood-filled hole did not look sinister, but instead had the piety of a pilgrim.
It's hard to imagine that this look would appear on a soul beast, but that's exactly what happened. The wolf soul beast didn't stop, but walked straight towards the edge.
Seeing that he was about to fall into the hole, a look of struggle appeared on the face of the soul beast wolf, "Whoo, whoosh~"
The struggle on the soul beast's face became more intense, and its eyes seemed to have regained some clarity. Just as it was about to turn around and run away, a wisp of black smoke flowed out from the bottom of the cave quietly. After absorbing the wisp of black smoke,
The wolf suddenly became calm, looked at the entrance of the cave and fell into it without hesitation.
After a long time, with a "plop" sound, the light in the cave suddenly went out, but the next moment more black mist poured out from the entrance of the cave...
Boom——
A thunderbolt pierced the sky. Ye Ming looked out the window and felt depressed for no reason. At this time, he was already in a hotel in Zhenhun City.
A few more days passed, and as the time agreed with Mu Tao approached, Ye Ming said goodbye to home and came here to wait for him.
I believe the teacher should be here soon.
It was night at this time. Looking at the sudden thunder and lightning in the sky outside, Ye Ming got up and closed the window. Sure enough, he heard a heavy rain starting outside the window.
Extreme weather rarely occurs naturally on Douluo Continent. The last time Ye Ming saw thunder in the sky was when his teacher passed away half a year ago, but that time coincided with spring thunder, and this was obviously a thunderstorm.
Thinking like this, Ye Ming touched the back of his hand, where a blue sword pattern was reflected in it. He suddenly remembered his master's last wish. The reason why Qingling could not break through was because the sea of consciousness was damaged.
Then if you rely on the gold of living things to open up the second sea of consciousness, wouldn't it be okay if you switch to a girl?
Thinking of the girl who had never been very convinced of him, Ye Ming's heart moved. Wait until Mr. Yin wakes up next time to ask...
Ye Ming spent the night without incident in meditation. When the next day came, the rain had already stopped.
Ye Ming was walking on the road in the city. The puddles on the road had not dried up yet. Even the weather was gray, but it didn't look like it would rain again.
Walking all the way out of the city, we came to a forest not far from the city gate, where a figure in black was already waiting.
"teacher."
Ye Ming was the first to speak out. The person standing in front of him was Mu Tao. He seemed to be worried, but he had just arrived.
"Yes." When he saw Ye Ming, Mu Tao gently nodded and said, "Without further delay, let's set off as soon as possible. We will wait until we get to Tiandou City to rest, and there will be another person meeting there."
Hearing this, Ye Ming was curious. Tiandou City was a place on the way to the Sunset Forest, but there was one other person? Ye Ming had never heard Mu Tao mention it.
Seeing that Mu Tao didn't explain, Ye Ming simply stopped asking any more questions. In any case, there was a certain danger in this trip. If it was Mu Tao who hired another helper, that would make sense.
After saying this, the two of them stopped talking and flew towards Tiandou City together. It is also worth mentioning that Ye Ming did not use the soul guide, but was led by Mu Tao.
There is no doubt that the flying soul guide he used is far superior to Ye Ming. In order to save time, he pushed the power of the soul guide to the limit. From this, Ye Ming also truly experienced a high-level soul guide.
flight speed.
It was approaching noon, and a huge city not far away could be seen vividly. It was about the same size as Shrek City, but the sense of heaviness accumulated by history was very strong.
The two of them landed a few miles away. Tiandou City, as the capital of a country, has very strict air defense. Mu Tao didn't want to cause trouble during this trip, so he was well prepared and even put on a disguise when entering the city.
.
Before that, he was also a member of the Dou Ling Empire, and he also guarded the gates of Tianhun and Dou, so his portrait has long been known to the Tianhun Empire.
Of course, due to his low reputation, Ye Ming did not have this worry. He followed Mu Tao all the way into the city and saw him walking straight towards a building. It was a pavilion, shaped like a cornucopia, but smaller than Shi Lai.
The one in Kecheng is much smaller.
Seeing Mu Tao enter, Ye Ming made some guesses. Maybe these helpers came from Shrek Academy?
He couldn't help but think of the letter Mu Tao asked him to give after he came back from the Star Dou Forest last time. He didn't know what price the teacher paid to invite the strong man from Shrek Academy?
Walking into it, a middle-aged man was the first to greet him. However, he was shocked when he saw Ye Ming behind Mu Tao. Naturally, his reaction was not hidden from Mu Tao. Although he was curious, he thought there was something serious to do.
I did it, so I took out a token.
Seeing the token, the middle-aged man suddenly understood, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Welcome the two distinguished guests to move to the second floor, please follow me."
Hearing this, Mutao nodded, and Ye Ming also walked up the steps under the leadership of the waiter. Soon they stopped at the door of a room.
"Please, that gentleman has been waiting for a long time."
The waiter stepped back, Mu Tao stepped in first, followed closely by Ye Ming.
This room was just like the outside world, decorated magnificently, and in front of the window, a tall figure was standing with his back.
Seeing the familiar figure from behind, Ye Ming couldn't help but said in surprise, "Dean Yan!"
Yes, seeing this familiar figure, Ye Ming recognized at a glance that this person was Yan Shaozhe, whom he had just met not long ago. The teacher actually invited the dean over?
Ye Ming looked at Mu Tao and saw that he was also surprised. Apparently Yan Shaozhe's arrival also exceeded his expectations.
"What? I'm surprised." Yan Shaozhe turned around and looked at the master and apprentice with a smile on his face.
Mu Tao nodded truthfully, "I thought the college would send the inner courtyard resident here, but I didn't expect the dean to come in person. The students are ashamed."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that you and I are willing to pay for things."
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, saying that he didn't need to worry about it, and then asked: "Is what you said in your letter true? After all, it involves a ninth-level soul tool, and I can't ignore it."
"The dean should have verified it before he came. The students will not lie to the college." Mu Tao looked solemn.
Seeing this, Shaozhe nodded slightly, confirming what Mu Tao said. As the dean of Shrek College, there are few things that warrant his trip out on weekdays, and this visit is naturally related to the interests of the college.
.
Giving a ninth-level soul tool to the academy within three years was exactly the reward Mu Tao mentioned. Although he already knew that Mu Tao was about to become a titled Douluo, this was the first time he had heard of breaking through to the ninth-level soul master.
For this reason, he specifically asked Fan Yu. As one of the few eighth-level soul mentors in the academy, Fan Yu had the closest relationship with Mu Tao, so he would know better.
And it was Fan Yu's words that strengthened his confidence in what he did this time, "Mu Tao's talent is even better than mine. If he can really break through the Titled Douluo, then he is the Douluo native who is most likely to become the Nine Douluo."
