Chapter 24 The Evil Sovereign's Soul Mentors and Changes
Two yellow and two purple, the four best-matched soul rings were floating around Meng Lang and slowly rhythmic. The second yellow soul ring was shining, and his dark skin was exuding when he was possessed by the martial soul.
Special metallic texture.
Looking down at the thousand-year-old swordfish wrapped in dark red crystals at his feet, Meng Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With his soul sect-level cultivation, coupled with the powerful black-striped narwhal spirit, a mere thousand-year swordfish is naturally not enough to seriously injure him. But if he were to hit the sharp upper jaw of a thousand-year swordfish head-on, he would definitely not be able to hit him hard.
It won't feel good.
Looking sideways at Xu Zihuang's pair of indifferent golden eyes, the awe in his heart couldn't help but become even more intense.
His cultivation was nearly twenty levels higher than Xu Zihuang's, but he thought he couldn't subdue the thousand-year-old swordfish in front of him as easily as Xu Zihuang did.
At the same time, there was also a bit of guilt and discomfort.
He promised to personally protect the young master, but he didn't expect that he would let Xu Zihuang come to the rescue.
"Little Lord."
Xu Zihuang gently patted Meng Lang on the shoulder, telling him not to worry. Meng Lang was at least 1.8 meters tall, while Xu Zihuang, who was only eight years old, could only reach 1.5 meters. Such a pat on the shoulder looked very
It's weird, but everyone thinks everything is so natural.
"The meat quality of the Thousand-Year Swordfish is no worse than the Thousand-Year Blue Flag Tuna. Let Rongjin come over and take care of it for everyone." Xu Zihuang looked at everyone with a smile and moved the joints of his hands a little. He found that his strength seemed to be stronger than expected.
Even bigger.
"Yes, young master." Everyone responded respectfully, and their attitude towards Xu Zihuang became more and more natural and friendly.
I also had some emotions in my heart.
Back when they were following Xu Zihuang's father, King Zihuang, who was the powerful prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, often mingled with them. By the time Xu Zihuang's generation came, it seemed that this was still the case.
Rongjin, who was informed of the news, cut up the tender thousand-year-old swordfish on the deck with joy on his face. In the past month, he had not handled such top-quality ingredients for a long time. For him,
Prosperity, wealth, and soul power are secondary. The greatest pursuit is to personally make delicious delicacies from those top-quality ingredients.
The belly and ridge are made into sashimi and placed neatly on a huge tray covered with crushed ice. The fish head is used to stew soup, and other parts of the meat are either fried in butter or grilled over charcoal. It weighs several thousand kilograms.
The Millennium Swordfish was quickly dealt with by Rongjin.
A group of soldiers from the Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Corps tasted it with honor. After nearly a month of boring sailing, everyone took a rare moment of relaxation.
Wang Xiao and Yaoyang stood side by side on the observation deck at the top of the main mast, watching this happy scene, but they didn't try to stop it without understanding.
After this journey, everyone is indeed mentally exhausted. There is nothing wrong with taking a proper rest.
With a smile on her lips, Yaoyang suddenly said, "Uncle Wang, have you noticed that Zihuang is like a born superior?"
Wang Yao gave Yaoyang a cold look, feeling quite annoyed that his thoughts had been seen through.
"Yaoyao, I suddenly discovered that the name His Highness gave you back then was indeed correct."
The smile on Yaoyang's face froze, and her soft and fair cheeks turned slightly red. Even when she faced the entire Xihai Soul Instructor Group before, she had never seen him so coquettish.
"Uncle Wang, didn't you agree not to mention this name again..."
This is some ambiguity between the two of them.
When Yaoyang was rescued from the evil soul master by Xu Zihuang's father, Xu Zihuang's father mistakenly thought she was a girl because of her feminine face. This is where the special name Yaoyang came from.
Wang Yao's implication is that Yaoyang's mind is as delicate as a girl's.
Wang Yao did not continue to stimulate Yao Yang, and Yao Yang also fell silent.
Yaoyao, this is really a nostalgic name.
…
As night fell, the deck was illuminated by several soul-guided lamps.
Xu Zihuang sat cross-legged in the center of the crowd, listening to the people telling stories about their youthful deeds one after another. The task of guarding the surroundings was carried out in shifts. Although there was no wine to accompany them, the atmosphere was gradually rising.
By the early morning of the next day, everyone had returned to their usual solemnity. Because starting from today, they would enter the southern waters of the Sun and Moon Empire. Only through here could the safest way to the Yuenan Islands be reached.
Because only this sea area has been explored by humans, the probability of encountering powerful sea spirit beasts and various emergencies is much lower than in those unknown sea areas.
Xu Zihuang sat in front of a table near the wooden bed in the room. On the table were rare metal fragments of different colors. The most conspicuous one was the upper jaw taken from the previous thousand-year-old swordfish.
The upper jaw of this thousand-year-old swordfish is harder than fine iron and is an excellent material for making soul guides.
Obscure and complicated lines shone with golden light around Xu Zihuang's hole, and in his right hand he held a slender dark purple knife, carving on a piece of dark blue metal.
His movements are very fast, but his hand is very steady, and every time he drops the knife, he is very calm. His writing moves quickly and smoothly, all in one go.
As the last trace of metal shavings fell on the table, complex lines quietly emerged on it.
Xu Zihuang frowned slightly and slowly poured soft soul power into it. Suddenly, the dark blue metal block emitted a dazzling blue-gold light, and the soft halo turned into a beam of light that rose up to two feet high. The blue halo
It was straight and firm, not swaying at all. And the piece of metal exuded a transparent blue color.
"The third-level soul power amplification core array was successful."
Seeing this scene, Xu Zihuang finally relaxed. A smile appeared on his face.
Soul masters with spiritual attributes do have innate advantages in making and using soul guides.
With the spiritual attribute Golden Boy Martial Spirit, his eyesight is at least several times that of ordinary people. This allows him to avoid many unnecessary mistakes when inscribing core formations. And with strong mental power, he can memorize it more easily.
Take down those complex core formations.
This does not mean that he can now be called a third-level soul master, but since he has successfully carved the third-level core magic circle, the next step is completely natural.
This is also thanks to the solid foundation he laid during his youth and exile on an isolated island.
Putting all the materials on the table into the soul guide ring, Xu Zihuang stood up and moved his body.
He knows very well that too much is not enough, so whether he is practicing or making soul tools, he adheres to the principle of combining work with rest.
Walking out of the room and onto the deck to feel the warm sea breeze, Xu Zihuang was surprised to find that the sails had been furled and the anchor had been thrown into the sea.
Several soaked soldiers from the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps were reporting something to Wang Yao.
Among them were Meng Lang's father, Meng Cang, and Linlong, who had just advanced to Soul Saint.
Meng Cang's martial spirit is the same as Meng Lang's, the black-striped narwhal, while Linlong's martial spirit is the black-scaled dragon shark, a powerful mutant martial spirit.
Because they had officially entered the southern waters of the Sun and Moon Empire, out of vigilance, both of them were sent by Wang Yao to investigate the surrounding situation.
Noticing Xu Zihuang coming towards him, Wang Yao solemnly asked for instructions: "Young Master, this sea area is blocked by the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group."
"The Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group?" Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows and his heart sank completely.
The Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group, which is also known as the Hand of Protecting the Country along with the Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Group, is not comparable to the Xihai Soul Instructor Group and Lan Hai Soul Instructor Group that they encountered previously.
The complete Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group consists of three hundred people, all of whom have cultivation levels above level 40.
The five major soul mentor groups known as the Hands of the Protector of the Country each have their own characteristics. For example, the Emperor Dragon Soul Mentor Group has the strongest overall combat effectiveness, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group is all composed of female soul masters, and the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group has
All of them are soul masters who are good at speed. When encountering the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group head-on, it is almost impossible to escape. Not to mention that the division leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group is a genuine ninth-level soul instructor.
"Xu Tianran, you are really good at it."
Without even thinking about it, these were definitely the pursuers sent by Xu Tianran.
"Mr. Wang, what are your plans?" Xu Zihuang raised his head and asked Wang Yao.
Based on his understanding of Wang Xiao, he should have taken countermeasures long ago.
Wang Yao and Yaoyang next to him looked at each other, and then the latter said softly: "Zihuang, Uncle Wang and I have discussed it. We are going to split into two groups now. I will lead some people to cross this sea area openly.
In order to protect me back then, Uncle Zhengxuan didn’t want me to be too conspicuous to avoid being targeted by evil soul masters again, so he never exposed our relationship. I brought this warship with me.
These people are all new members like Meng Lang who have joined the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group. There is no problem of familiar faces. They pretend to be my subordinates and use the excuse of going out to sea to hunt the troublesome sea soul beasts. Those frozen ones in the refrigerator room
The evil killer whale meat is just enough to deceive people.”
"The other group of people is led by Uncle Wang. Zihuang, you and them landed directly from the seaside city in the southwest of the empire. The terrain near the seaside city is steep and there are many virgin forests. It is impossible to blockade every place. It will definitely be difficult for them
Thinking about it, you are completely going the opposite way and actively entering the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire. Moreover, there is currently a war between the southern part of the Sun and Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. You can take advantage of the chaos and enter the territory of the Star Luo Empire, and then take a detour to the Moon Empire.
Hub Island.”
"Without further delay, let's do it like this." Xu Zihuang had nothing to hesitate. This was indeed the safest way.
Rather than gambling on whether he would be discovered by the people of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group, he preferred the feeling of controlling his own destiny.
