In the dense woods, a wolf spirit beast quickly sprang out from the grass and hunted two humans.
The two humans seemed to be stunned, and did not react at all when the wolf approached. In the blink of an eye, the wolf rushed in front of the boy.
Ye Ming could even clearly see the saliva in the wolf's mouth and the accompanying rancid smell. He was about to be knocked down by it, but he did not panic at all.
As his eyes moved, the moment the black soul ring lit up, a metal barrier appeared in front of the wolf beast without warning. The wolf beast bumped into it, but it was unable to shake the barrier at all.
At the same time, the moment the wolf beast was blocked, a metal spike rose from the ground and penetrated the body of the wolf beast before it could react. In an instant, a thousand-year soul beast was taken away from life, but Ye Ming could not see it.
No trace of fatigue, obviously very little consumption.
Looking at the purple soul ring that gradually condensed, it was estimated that the soul beast had surpassed three thousand years of cultivation, Mr. Li couldn't help but sigh:
"Boy Ming, this ability to control metal really suits you very well!"
"This is all thanks to Mr. Li's contribution."
Ye Ming smiled and said that one day had passed since he absorbed the soul ring. On the way back, he also used it to experiment with his new skills. This time, the absorption was not as expected. As expected, he obtained the golden beast's innate skill - metal control.
.
Metal control, as the name suggests, is the ability to control all metal elements within a certain area. Within a certain area, Ye Ming can control the energy of the metal element as he wishes. Not only can he condense shields, but he can also summon spikes. It can be said that he can attack and defend, and his changes are extremely versatile. Moreover, the performance of this metal control really surprised him. Not only was the soul skill instantaneous, but it also consumed very little. Like when he just killed a soul beast that was more than three thousand years old, he lost even one-tenth of his soul power.
There is no consumption, and the intensity of the skills also increases with the consumption of soul power. If you use all the soul power, I am afraid that even a ten thousand year old soul beast will be hated on the spot.
Ye Ming has experimented, and now the strongest range he can control is within fifty meters. Of course, with the blessing of the third soul skill, this range will be doubled, but Ye Ming feels that this soul skill is much more than that.
As your cultivation level increases, the range of the soul skill itself should also increase.
Especially in the future, if you can combine this soul skill with your own Gengjin field, you will become a veritable controller in the field. By then, the power will be unimaginable...
……
Two days later, Ye Ming and Mr. Li finally returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the study
Mu Tao looked at Ye Ming with satisfaction
"Very good. Not only did I successfully absorb the ten thousand year soul ring, but my soul power has also reached level 42. It seems that this trip was not in vain."
"Teacher, fortunately you have lived up to your mission."
At this time, Ye Ming had already reported to Mu Tao the process of hunting the soul beast, and also showed off his fourth soul skill. After hearing the use of Ye Ming's fourth soul skill, even Mu Tao was full of praise when he saw it.
.
"Okay, it's only a few days since school started, and the teacher won't impose tasks on you. You can take a break these days and practice making soul tools freely. If you have any questions, come back and ask me."
"Okay, teacher." Ye Ming nodded and then retreated.
In total, half a month has passed since the holiday, and there are still a few days before he will leave for Shrek Academy again. The teacher made special arrangements for him before the holiday. Because of the exams at the beginning of the semester, he, as the monitor, has to go ahead some time.
Arrive at school, I believe this time I will give everyone a surprise when I go back.
I wonder if Beibei will be hit harder.
Ye Ming was thinking secretly, and unknowingly he had arrived in the backyard. Seeing this, Ye Ming simply decided to go and see the poor girl who was still in solitary confinement.
After crossing the small lake, Ye Ming soon stopped in front of a luxurious courtyard.
Opening the door, I saw a girl sitting in front of a stone table in the courtyard, with her hands on her fair chin, her head obviously dozing off little by little.
In front of her, a furry white ball was lying on the table, squinting its eyes, and a white light flashed from time to time.
"Ahem!"
Ye Ming deliberately coughed twice, and Mu Qing'er was frightened and stood up in a hurry
"Dad, I didn't sleep, I kept——"
The girl turned her head as she spoke, her eyes widened when she saw the person coming from behind, and her words suddenly stopped.
"Ah! Ye Ming, if you dare to take advantage of me, I will..."
As he spoke, Mu Qing'er bared his teeth and claws and rushed toward Ye Ming, not noticing that the white cat's ears behind him moved...
……
Happy time always passes quickly, and after playing with Mu Qing'er for a few days, the time to set off again is getting closer and closer.
The night before departure
Beside the familiar small lake, Ye Ming set up the grill again and kept busy
"Hey, why are you always looking so gloomy? It will probably be another year after I leave, and you won't be able to eat even if you want to."
Ye Ming took a grilled fish and handed it to the girl, but the girl didn't take it.
"Who cares about your grilled fish? It tastes terrible."
The girl murmured in a low voice, and Ye Ming was not annoyed when he heard this. The girl seemed a little disappointed today. He was thinking about how to tease her, and it happened that a little thing ran over and looked at him eagerly. To be precise, it was in his hand.
grilled fish.
"Come on, Wangcai, if your master doesn't want to eat it, how about I give you this grilled fish?"
"Meow~"
Wangcai stared at the grilled fish, as if he really understood, he rubbed Ye Ming's calf and acted coquettishly.
Seeing this, Ye Ming glanced at Mu Qing'er, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he was about to hand the grilled fish to Wangcai, when a voice sounded.
"Hey, who asked you to give my grilled fish to others?"
Ye Ming turned around and saw that the girl had come to his side and stared at him angrily.
Ye Ming pretended to be innocent and said: "Didn't you just say you won't eat it? It's lost anyway, so it's better to give it to Wangcai to avoid wasting it."
"Who said I don't want to eat, bring it!"
As she spoke, the girl snatched the grilled fish, opened her mouth wide and bit into it hard, glaring at Ye Ming while eating, as if she was biting Ye Ming instead of grilled fish.
"Hey, I remember someone just said that grilled fish is hard to eat. Did I hear it wrong?" Ye Ming took advantage of this and teased
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if this is what I said. No matter how unpalatable the grilled fish is, it's still mine and no one can take it away."
Mu Qing'er said angrily. After a while, all the grilled fish went into her stomach, while a certain cat on the ground was crying. Wasn't the promised food for me? Why didn't she even take a bite now?
To.
The girl picked up the kitten and naturally noticed its eager expression.
"Eat less, you. It took a lot of effort to lose some weight during this evolution. If you keep eating fat, I really won't be able to hold you."
The girl patiently comforted the kitten, and the kitten lowered its head in disappointment, while Ye Ming smiled and looked at the deflated kitten.
"Why are you laughing? Hurry up and grill the fish for me. You have to leave tomorrow. I have to give you a good meal today."
"Okay, miss, just wait, I will arrange it now..." Ye Ming said deliberately in a funny way
……
On the other side of the small lake, it's pitch black.
Facing the two people, a figure was quietly watching everything on the lake shore. Suddenly, Mr. Li's figure flashed behind him.
"City Lord, the information just sent."
Mr. Li walked softly to Mutao and handed him a wooden tube. Ye Ming took the wooden tube, opened it, took out the letter inside and read it...
After a while, Mu Tao closed the envelope, his face a little uncertain, especially when he looked at Ye Ming's figure in the distance, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"City Lord, what kind of trouble are you encountering? Do you want me to... I'll go for a run."
Mu Tao said nothing, and the letter in his hand turned into powder little by little.
After a long time, Mu Tao spoke again: "Forget it, I will go there myself this time, and you can stay at home to protect Qing'er."
"Yes."
Immediately after Mutao left, Mr. Li also left with him.
……
I don’t know how much time passed, and the sky turned completely dark.
After eating the grilled fish, Mu Qing'er simply lay down on the grass and looked at the stars in the sky. Ye Ming also strolled over, put the leftover grilled fish aside and sat down next to Mu Qing'er. At this time, a little thing took advantage of the two of them not paying attention and secretly grabbed a grilled fish and ran away, hiding in the grass and chewing it.
Ye Ming naturally noticed the fleeting white shadow and said with a smile: "Why is this little thing named Wangcai? It's obviously a female cat but it's named like a dog."
"Dad named it. He said the name was festive, so I called it that."
Ye Ming originally thought that the girl would not answer, but unexpectedly she opened her mouth now
"Wangcai is a terrible name. Dad never knows how to choose names. Fortunately, my name was chosen by my mother before I was born. Otherwise, Dad might not have decided what name he would give me."
Unexpectedly, a casual sentence would involve the girl's mother. For a moment, Ye Ming didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere fell silent.
And Ye Ming also looked up at the starry sky. The starry sky on Douluo Continent was different from his previous life. There were so many stars here every night, so many that he couldn't even tell the way home...
"Ye Ming, can you go back two days late and play with me for two days?"
The girl's words interrupted Ye Ming's thoughts, and she sat up with a look of expectation on her face.
For no reason, he heard something unusual in the girl's tone, but he still shook his head and said:
"There will always be a difference. What's the difference between two days earlier and two days later?"
After listening to Ye Ming's words, the girl's hopeful expression slowly turned into disappointment.
Looking at the girl's somewhat decadent expression, Ye Ming felt a trace of unbearability in his heart. He had always treated Mu Qing'er as his younger sister, but he had never seen her show such an expression. Perhaps he had not noticed that he had become Mu Qing'er.
Qing'er's only friend.
Ye Ming touched the girl's head and comforted:
"Next year, I will come back to see you at this time next year."
Let Ye Ming put his hand on his head, but the girl did not become happy because of Ye Ming's comfort, but her expression became more lonely, and she whispered
"You might not be able to find me here next year."
"Why?"
"I heard Uncle Shi tell me privately before that my father might be transferred to the imperial capital, and I will go with him."
There was a trace of confusion in the girl's eyes. Although the imperial capital was her mother's hometown, she didn't know why but she was a little afraid of it.
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Ye Ming's eyes. The teacher never told him about this...
