Chapter 148 Back to School and Falling into the Lake
The sky gradually darkened, but there was no tranquility in the forest. There were chirping insects, birds, and even the roars of wild beasts.
Deep in the forest, Xu Zihuang, holding the barrel of the fixed soul cannon with one hand, casually took the last fixed soul cannon handed over by He Caitou.
Looking at the lines engraved on the fusiform fixed soul cannon in his hand, he couldn't help but frown.
The twelve custom-installed soul cannons that Fan Yu asked him to test have different attributes, and the types and age requirements of the soul beasts needed for the test are also different.
For example, the fixed soul cannon he fired at the beginning had an attribute of frost, and the most important data that needed to be tested was the range it could cover while ensuring a certain level of lethality.
In this way, even if it is used for those ten years of ghost wolves, it will not have much impact.
For fixed-installed soul cannons with high explosive attributes such as burst and lightning, it is necessary to use soul beasts with slightly stronger defense power or soul beasts with a hundred years of cultivation or more as test subjects.
Otherwise, if it were a weak ten-year-old soul beast, it would probably turn into ashes once hit from the front, which would not have any reference value.
It is also for this reason that Xu Zihuang and He Caitou have been wandering in this forest until now.
Although many types of soul beasts have developed in this forest, most of them are at the ten-year level. The two of them went deep into the Star Dou Forest and finally found a few hundred-year-old soul beasts.
Test completed.
If you want to test the effect of this fixed soul cannon with paralysis attributes, you also need a larger century-old soul beast as the test object.
"Roar——" A low roar suddenly sounded. Xu Zihuang immediately sensed the source of the sound and looked towards the left front.
"A century-old soul beast?"
As his spiritual power level increased, his perception also became extremely sharp. Although he could not accurately determine the cultivation level and type of the soul beast from several kilometers away like Tianmeng Iceworm, he could still make a rough identification.
Arrived.
"Brother and senior brother, let's go over and check it out."
"Yeah." A smile appeared on He Caitou's dark face, with a naive look, and he looked at Xu Zihuang.
"It's best to complete the test of this customized soul cannon with paralysis properties, so that we can return to the academy."
It was as if the scene of recognizing each other this morning had never happened. It seemed that their relationship was still just a simple senior and junior.
This forest is far not as old as the Star Dou Forest. Although the trees grow luxuriantly, they do not block out the sky and sun like the core area of the Star Dou Forest. The tree crowns and branches cover the forest in darkness.
The golden-red sunset shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and even some floating dust can be seen in the wisps of light.
Xu Zihuang and He Caitou didn't travel long before they found the target they were looking for.
It was a giant bear that was more than three meters tall, standing upright. It had brown hair exuding a fishy smell, and on its chest, there was a huge check mark in the shape of white hair.
The most eye-catching thing about this giant bear is its eyes, which are red and full of cruelty.
The bloodthirsty demon bear is a powerful existence with earth attributes. And judging from its size, its cultivation has exceeded two hundred years.
Opposite it is a soul master team composed of five soul masters.
Among these five people, except for the leader, a strong middle-aged man with short brown hair, who is a great soul master of level 20 or above, the other four are all soul masters with only ten levels of soul power.
These four people are a little younger than the middle-aged man at the head, but they are at least twenty years old.
The martial spirits of the four young men are wildebeest, lizard, rhinoceros and antelope, with the only white spirit ring beating around them. They are obviously civilian spirit masters without any background.
Moreover, these four people were in very bad condition, and their bodies were more or less stained with blood. Maintaining the possession of martial spirits seemed to be their limit.
The only person with a yellow century-old spirit ring was the middle-aged man at the head. His naked upper body was covered with gray-black hair, and his already majestic body was exaggeratedly bulged under the influence of the martial spirit.
His martial soul was a black-haired orangutan that was good at strength. Two soul rings around him, one white and one yellow, shone brightly at the same time. He gritted his teeth and blocked the bloodthirsty demon bear.
The bloodthirsty devil bear's whole body was covered with a layer of strong blood, and it rushed towards the middle-aged man like a red cloud. It arrived in a blink of an eye. The moment the two came into contact, the middle-aged man's body was directly thrown away for dozens of seconds.
Meters away, it hit a huge tree trunk hard.
A muffled groan came from his mouth.
Blood overflowed from his mouth and nose, and the middle-aged man's breath became extremely weak.
Having a century-old soul ring does not mean that you have the ability to confront a century-old soul beast head-on.
Especially when a middle-aged man comes from a commoner background, and his martial soul and soul ring quality are not very outstanding, he is naturally extremely resistant to a powerful soul beast like the bloodthirsty demon bear.
"Brother! Be careful!" The other four people reminded loudly. The middle-aged man raised his head subconsciously. The bloodthirsty demon bear was already close in front of him, and the huge bear paws continued to enlarge in his eyes.
A trace of despair and self-mockery rose in his eyes. Ever since he awakened his martial soul with innate soul power in his childhood, he never expected that he would end up being buried in the belly of a soul beast after working hard for so many years.
Countless thoughts appeared in his mind, and for some reason he recalled his childhood longing.
Become a respected soul master and become a noble.
But now that I think about it, it's so ridiculous.
Is it so easy to cross the class between common people and nobles?
And at this moment, a thick white light suddenly hit the bloodthirsty demon bear. The menacing bloodthirsty demon bear suddenly froze in place.
It was in a stalemate for about two seconds before it regained its ability to move. However, at the moment it regained its ability to move, another white ray struck, directly penetrating the huge body of the bloodthirsty demon bear.
It wasn't until the bloodthirsty demon bear fell to the ground with a thud that the middle-aged man and the four people around him realized what they were doing, and stared blankly towards the direction of the white ray.
They were an extremely strange pair, a young boy with a slender figure and extraordinary good looks, and a tall, honest, black man with a strong build.
The young man walked in front with his back to them, while the big black man followed behind the young man, still lowering his head to record something.
The middle-aged man's expression was very complicated, ranging from the joy and luck of being saved to the bitterness and helplessness of once again personally experiencing the class gap.
To be able to kill a hundred-year-old bloodthirsty devil bear so easily at this age must be a child of a big family with an extraordinary background.
In this Douluo Continent, where future achievements and status are basically determined by the strength of martial souls, it is indeed too cruel for civilian soul masters.
The sun sets, the moon rises, and the sky is dotted with stars.
Outside the east gate of Shrek Academy, it was still very lively.
Two rays of light came from the northeast, it was Xu Zihuang and He Caitou who used the flying soul guide to return to Shrek Academy.
As soon as he approached Shrek City, Xu Zihuang saw a red light rising from the east gate of Shrek Academy, suddenly rushing towards him at an incredible speed.
When he sensed the threat, he released his martial spirit in an instant.
Three purple and one black, the four soul rings in such a strange combination are not too conspicuous in the night sky.
Also on alert was He Caitou, who couldn't help but let out a loud shout.
"Senior Brother Yu, be careful!"
A large number of metal tubes appeared from different locations on his body. It looked like a giant hedgehog. The most terrifying thing was the two huge metal tubes as thick as thighs that were on his shoulders.
It is a launcher device for custom-installed soul guides.
When these two huge metal barrels appeared, the red light that was rapidly approaching them seemed to have stopped for a moment.
While many soul tools appeared on He Caitou's body, four soul rings shone brightly with two yellow and two purple lights. He Caitou had also advanced to a powerful Soul Sect level not long ago.
After all the metal tubes appeared, he prepared to fire a salvo at the red light.
However, when He Caitou was about to explode, Xu Zihuang reached out to stop him.
"The person who came close to me with my senior brother is a senior from the inner courtyard. She has no ill intentions towards us."
After releasing the Golden Boy's martial spirit, he could clearly see the entirety of the red light with his powerful dynamic vision.
Isn’t it Ma Xiaotao?
At this time, Ma Xiaotao was once again troubled by the evil fire problem, and because Xu Zihuang helped her temporarily suppress the evil fire problem seven days ago, this time the evil fire outbreak made her even more unbearable.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Ma Xiaotao's blushing cheeks carried a strange beauty, and she came to Xu Zihuang in the blink of an eye.
Xu Zihuang did not deliberately dodge, and was immediately enveloped in a wave of fiery heat.
The source of the heat was Ma Xiaotao's embrace.
The sturdy Ma Xiaotao didn't seem to care at all about He Caitou, who was retracting the soul guide, and hugged Xu Zihuang tightly. There was a bit of anger and confusion in her pink eyes, and she let out a delicate moan.
Exhale like a orchid.
"Yu Tianhuang, you are finally back. I can't stand it any longer. Please help me suppress the evil fire quickly."
Red light flashed, Ma Xiaotao and Xu Zihuang suddenly accelerated, and disappeared into the sky in an instant. Only He Caitou, who looked confused, stayed in place.
A touch of depth and smile flashed across He Caitou's eyes, and then his eyes were filled with confusion as he flew towards the east gate of Shrek Academy.
There was no scent of perfume on Ma Xiaotao, only a particularly refreshing scent, as refreshing and refreshing as a quilt that had just been exposed to the sun.
Xu Zihuang has been eating the best ingredients since he was a child, and he has never lacked nutrition. He has also integrated three thousand-year soul rings and a thirty-thousand-year soul ring. At the age of twelve, he is already close to 1.8 meters tall.
.
Although Ma Xiaotao is very slender, she is still shorter than Xu Zihuang.
He hugged Xu Zihuang tightly, with his chin just over Xu Zihuang's shoulders.
The hot air from Tan's mouth was spitting in Xu Zihuang's ears one after another, and the elastic warmth in front of her was still rubbing against his chest. Moreover, Ma Xiaotao herself was the most beautiful woman in appearance and figure. Such close contact could almost make everyone
male heartbeat.
But Xu Zihuang was calm from beginning to end, and could even calm down and look sideways at Ma Xiaotao, who rested her head on his shoulder.
As the golden-red flame wings behind Ma Xiaotao, who had released his martial spirit, were waving one after another, the two of them had appeared in the sky above Poseidon Lake. The confusion in Ma Xiaotao's eyes was even more intense at this time, and it seemed that he was not even conscious.
It's become more like a lake.
The golden-red flame wings that grew from her back using her third soul skill Feng Yi Tian Xiang began to show signs of losing control.
The extremely hot breath made Xu Zihuang's skin feel a little stinging.
At this moment, he finally confirmed that Ma Xiaotao's condition was not normal.
Xu Zihuang's first soul skill, White Whale's Song, can indeed resolve the evil spirits mixed in Ma Xiaotao's soul power, but this is simply treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The evil spirits come from the origin of Ma Xiaotao's martial soul. If Ma Xiaotao follows up
As she continues to practice, the evil spirits that cause the evil fire problem will also penetrate deeply into her soul power.
Moreover, this process was very rapid, which made it even more difficult for her to suppress the evil fire problem caused by this evil energy.
This is equivalent to when Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem broke out in the past, because she has been gradually adapting to it for more than ten years since she awakened her martial soul at the age of six and began to practice. When the evil fire problem broke out, she could barely rely on her own strength most of the time.
Force your willpower to suppress it.
A few days ago, Xu Zihuang completely purified the evil energy in her soul. In other words, cultivating the evil fire again shortened the process of gradually adapting to it for more than ten years to just seven days.
Of course, this makes it easier to lose control. Especially after Ma Xiaotao hugged Xu Zihuang, she would subconsciously feel relaxed.
This also led to her complete loss of consciousness.
Of course, Xu Zihuang didn't know this at all, but he couldn't let it continue like this. Otherwise, his whole body would be scorched before he even got to Poseidon Island.
The ethereal and melodious roar of the whale sounded in the sky above Poseidon Lake. Xu Zihuang decisively used his first soul skill, the Roar of the White Whale, to help Ma Xiaotao purify the evil spirit in his soul power, thus solving the problem of evil fire.
Ma Xiaotao's body suddenly stiffened during the flight, and she let out an extremely comfortable moan, then her whole body went limp and she fell into the clear blue Poseidon Lake.
The golden red soul power surged around her body, and when her body touched the water of Poseidon Lake, the intense high temperature caused the water to vaporize and make bursts of popping sounds.
And Xu Zihuang was also very embarrassed. All the clothes on his upper body were turned into fly ash, exposing his white upper body. The muscles were clearly angular, but they were not exaggerated bulges. Instead, they were perfectly restrained.
Pieces of shallow dark red crystal mirrors condensed under his feet, causing him to freeze in mid-air.
Xu Zihuang glanced at Poseidon Island shrouded in mist from a distance, and after hesitating for a moment, he jumped into the water.
He didn't believe that with the cultivation of those people on Poseidon Island, they didn't notice anything strange here. No matter what the reason was for those people not showing up, it was impossible for him to remain inactive.
He couldn't let the unconscious Ma Xiaotao drown in the lake.
The clear lake water dissipated a lot of the burning sensation that remained on Xu Zihuang's skin. His medium-long black hair was floating in the lake water, and his legs kept swinging alternately, chasing Ma Xiaotao in the direction where he fell.
The average depth of Poseidon Lake is about one to two hundred meters, because the water is clear enough and the visibility is extremely high.
Soon Xu Zihuang discovered Ma Xiaotao's figure.
She also had long hair floating in the lake, but the color of Ma Xiaotao's hair was fiery red. The clothes on her chest clung to her body under the influence of the lake water. She was not wearing underwear, so that the outline of the mountains was extremely clear.
The ground appeared in front of Xu Zihuang.
However, Xu Zihuang had no distracting thoughts. He held Ma Xiaotao's neck with one hand and the inside of his knees with the other hand, and floated towards the lake.
When he was on Yueshu Island, he had developed good water skills.
After a while, he surfaced and took Ma Xiaotao to the shore of Poseidon Island.
The mist is hazy, bringing waves of coolness in this early spring time.
Xu Zihuang sat by the lake, stretched out his hands to fiddle with some messy purple hair on his forehead, and then looked sideways at Ma Xiaotao, who was unconscious next to him.
The first thing I saw were the two long legs wrapped in a wet red dress, then the round buttocks and an exquisite and delicate body.
Xu Zihuang's eyesight was always clear, and he used his soul power to dry Ma Xiaotao's clothes without squinting. Then he slowly stood up and moved his toes on the dark red crystal mirror, and left Poseidon Island.
On the cliff in front of Poseidon Pavilion, three figures stood.
Yan Shaozhe, who was dressed in clean white clothes, Old Xuan, who was all dirty, and a woman with white hair and a childlike face.
This woman is Lin Huiqun, Mr. Lin, the master of Jubao Pavilion.
Mr. Lin frowned and looked at Yan Shaozhe and Mr. Xuan.
"Xuanzi, Shaozhe, you are a bit disgraced by plotting against a junior with such an upright heart."
Seeing Xu Zihuang's previous performance, she really admired this young man from the bottom of her heart.
Yan Shaozhe lowered his head respectfully and did not dare to say anything more.
But Mr. Xuan, who had previously stopped Mr. Lin from taking action, smiled carelessly and said: "Lin Huiqun, how can this be called a conspiracy? It was obviously that little guy who took advantage of him. Isn't Xiaotao's talent not worthy of him?
"
After saying that, he ignored Mr. Lin and turned around unsteadily in the direction of Poseidon Pavilion.
