Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 242 Good News, Bad News

In Qiangu Qitian's inner world, Jianmu was quietly suspended in the air. The rich life energy emanating from its body continuously entered Qiangu Qitian's body. Then, some of the life energy rushed towards Jianmu's location and was absorbed by Jianmu again.

A cycle has already been formed.

On a branch of Jianmu, a crystal clear green light ball, which also exudes a strong breath of life, hangs there quietly. This is the life fragment that Qiangu Qitian absorbed in the Devil Islands.

In the fragments of life at this moment, seven old figures lay powerlessly on the ground. Their auras were clearly very active, but they looked very listless.

"Master Lao, do you think... that kid from the Spirit Pagoda has forgotten us?"

The hateful old demon curled up on the ground, staring at everything around him with lifeless and empty eyes.

Although their souls are still preserved among the fragments of life, there is no concept of time in this space. The scenery before their eyes is always a monotonous green, even if this green is full of vitality.

Here, every second feels like an age.

The greedy old demon's expression wasn't very good either, and combined with his abstract face, it looked a bit funny.

"Maybe... soon."

From his previous conversation with Qiangu Qitian, he could feel Qiangu Qitian's character. Logically speaking, he would not breach the contract.

But...why has there been no movement for so long?
Wait, how long has it been now?

The greedy old demon who had lost his sense of time had no idea how long they had been here.

Maybe it’s been a day, a month, or even a year…

"He...shouldn't have forgotten."

The old demon of destruction expressed his guess.

The old demons: ...

They were silent.

Because, it is very possible.

……

"Brother, I'm going in."

Gu Yuena turned sideways and spoke to Qiangu Qitian.

"Well, don't worry, take your time."

Qiangu Qitian said with a smile.

When he said "don't be anxious", he was naturally referring to his comprehension of the ancient golden tree.

"Well, brother, I'm leaving."

Before leaving, Gu Yuena stood on tiptoe and lightly touched Qiangu Qitian's cheek, then reluctantly entered the golden ancient tree training room.

Qiangu Qitian watched Gu Yuena's figure disappear from his sight before looking at his teacher.

His eyes happened to see the auntie smile on Yali's face, which made the already shameless Qiangu Qitian feel a little embarrassed.

Yali nudged Qiangu Qitian with her elbow and asked curiously:
"Xiaotian, what is it like to date your teacher and junior sister at the same time?"

Qiangu Qitian: ...

"Actually...it's okay." Qiangu Qitian answered with a stiff face. He didn't understand why his teacher had become so gossipy. He was obviously not like this before.

"Haha, okay, I won't embarrass you anymore." Yali quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what exactly is the great gift you're talking about?"

Hearing this question, Yun Ming on the side also pricked up his ears.

Now, he wisely chose to be a transparent person.

Yun Ming didn't want to do this, but he had to.

Qiangu Qitian looked around and tried to sense the concentration of life energy around him.

He wanted to see whether the life energy of this ancient golden tree could carry the souls of the seven old demons.

Otherwise, once it is released, the soul will dissipate due to insufficient energy intensity, which would not be good.

Fortunately, the life energy within the ancient golden tree did not disappoint Qiangu Qitian.

Yali just watched Qiangu Qitian doing his own thing without disturbing him.

After Qiangu Qitian finished all the preparations, he said to Yali:

"Teacher, I'm going to start."

"Ah."

Yali nodded and focused her eyes on Qiangu Qitian.

Qiangu Qitian did not continue talking nonsense. He closed his eyes slightly, and the next moment, he opened his eyes again.

The green wooden dragon soul flew out of Qiangu Qitian's body, and behind him, a towering tree gradually condensed from the void.

The first time she saw the tree, Yali's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Her eyes were deeply attracted by the green "fruit" on the tree.

This attraction comes from the soul.

Fragments of life energy are a fatal attraction to any healing soul master.

This is the essence and remains of the God King from the divine world!

"So, what attracted me... was this..."

Yali gradually came back to her senses from the shock and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she can be sure that she did not touch the forbidden emotion.

But...why do I feel a little lost in my heart?
Without time to think about it, Yali's attention was once again attracted by Qiangu Qitian.

The fragments of life energy hanging on Jianmu moved at this time.

The fragments of life energy, which were already crystal clear and emitting a faint green glow, became even brighter at this moment.

It seemed to tremble, and a strange green vortex slowly expanded from its center until it formed the size of a round shield and then stopped expanding.

Amidst the fragments of life energy, the old demons have become restless.

When they discovered that the originally stable space was fluctuating, all the old demons stood up subconsciously.

None of them spoke, their eyes fixed on the point where the space fluctuation appeared, until - the vortex gate opened.

"Hahaha, I told you, that guy wouldn't lie to me!"

The hateful old demon laughed loudly and rushed towards the "door" impatiently.

The rest of the old demons were speechless. During this period of time, the complaints from the old demon of hatred were the loudest.

But they didn't dwell on this issue too much. The greedy old demon smiled slightly:
"Guys, it's time to go home."

……

Yali and Yun Ming were both staring at the green vortex door. They still didn't know what the so-called great gift from Qiangu Qitian was.

However, the truth did not keep them waiting for too long.

As ripples appeared on the green vortex gate, a spirit-like energy flew out from it.

Yun Ming subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to protect Yali behind him, but Yali dodged sideways.

Yali didn't think that Qiangu Qitian would harm him.

Although rejected by Yali, Yun Ming still did it.

Whether to accept it is Yali's business, but whether to do it or not is his business.

"Hahaha, I'm finally back! I'm finally back!"

A wild but somewhat familiar voice reached Yun Ming's mind, and a memory hidden deep in his mind gradually emerged under the guidance of this familiar feeling.

The past scenes replayed quickly in Yun Ming's mind, causing the Pavilion Master, who had been standing tall for his entire life, to break out in a cold sweat. How did this kid, Qiangu Qitian, invite these ancestors over...

The soul of the hateful old demon was suspended in the air. Looking at the surrounding environment that was both familiar and unfamiliar, he felt both excited and nervous.

My former teachers and friends have passed away, and everything is no longer the same as it used to be.

but……

He's finally back.

Immediately afterwards, another six figures flew out from the vortex gate.

The seven old demons just floated in the air, looking at the familiar environment around them, with mixed feelings and a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the greedy old demon, even though he was already a soul and had lost the right to shed tears.

"Shrek, we are... back."

When Yun Ming saw the appearance of these people in front of him, the emotions in his heart were temporarily suppressed.

After doing all this, Qiangu Qitian directly put away the dragon soul.

After the wood dragon's soul returned to its body, Jianmu also disappeared into the void.

Qiangu Qitian clapped his hands and said to Yali with a smile:

"Teacher, does Shrek Academy like this great gift of mine?"

Although Yali had never been to Devil's Island, she had lived in Shrek Academy for so many years and she knew about the military training on Devil's Island.

Even though she had never seen what the seven old demons looked like, from the descriptions of the trainees who had returned from military training, Yali had a vague idea of ​​the image of the group of "instructors" in her mind.

Perverted, cruel, taking pleasure in torturing others...

Considering the perverted training methods of these guys, Yali felt a little scared when she looked at the seven souls in front of her.

As for why I immediately associated these seven souls with the seven old demons on the Devil Islands...

Naturally, it was the fragment of life energy displayed by Qiangu Qitian.

Yali asked Qiangu Qitian:

"Xiaotian, did you go to Devil's Island?"

"Yes." Qiangu Qitian nodded and said, "I have completely solved the Devil Islands. Several seniors wanted to go home, so I brought them back."

Yali seemed to have thought of something, and asked with some concern: "They...didn't embarrass you, did they?"

Qiangu Qitian smiled and patted his chest: "Teacher, don't worry, there is one senior among this group of people who is very kind to me. When we were in the Devil Islands, he often brought me delicious food."

delicious?
The corners of Yun Ming's mouth twitched.

The image of the Devouring Old Demon quickly emerged in his mind.

The scene of that fat old man who always had a smiling face, holding strange food in his hands and forcing him to eat it is still vivid in his mind.

The emotions of the old demons gradually stabilized. They began to check their current conditions. When they found that the life energy in the ancient golden tree had been connected with them, they felt relieved.

"Thank you, Spirit Pagoda boy."

The greedy old demon in the lead smiled, even though it was not good-looking, but Qiangu Qitian could still feel the kindness released by the other party.

Qiangu Qitian bowed and said, "It's just a small favor. Seniors, have a good rest. I'll take my leave."

Qiangu Qitian, who had finished everything, did not plan to stay here any longer.

Yali also heard that Qiangu Qitian wanted to say goodbye, so she did not stop him. She just smiled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaotian."

Yun Ming also expressed his attitude: "Qitian boy, this time... my Shrek Academy owes you a favor."

Just now, Yun Ming roughly felt the current state of the seven old demons.

He was even more delighted when he found that the other party's aura was all at the Titled Douluo level.

With seven more Titled Douluo appearing all of a sudden, how could he, as the Pavilion Master, not be excited?
Does Qiangu Qitian have his own little plans?
Yun Ming had guessed it, but he had to accept Qiangu Qitian's kindness.

“No need for favors, I just hope… that the Spiritual Pagoda can coexist peacefully with Shrek Academy in the future. After all, we still have a common enemy.”

Qiangu Qitian still remembered the expression on Long Yeyue's face when he left. When he said this, he was undoubtedly trying to give Yun Ming some eye drops in advance.

By then, Long Yeyue would be the first and Qiangu Qitian would be the fifteenth, and they would not have any psychological burden at all.

But at that time, Yun Ming could do nothing.

"That's natural."

Qiangu Qitian quietly turned off the soul guide recording in his arms, and then said goodbye to Yali and Yun Ming.

He doesn't have to worry about what happens next.

……

After leaving Poseidon Island, Qiangu Qitian came to the outer courtyard again.

Still using his mental power to scan the area, he soon found his target.

"Since we're all together, it saves me from having to make several trips."

It was already noon, Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan and Xu Xiaoyan were having lunch in the cafeteria of the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

The three of them are currently on the best of terms.

"Siduo, tell me...what does that idiot want from Sister Naer?"

Now that Qiangu Qitian is gone, Xu Xiaoyan becomes more assertive again.

Wu Siduo just shook her head: "I don't know. But... when Brother Qi Tian comes, he will definitely tell us."

"Humph! That bastard..."

Xu Xiaoyan's voice suddenly stopped, and even the chopsticks in her hand froze there.

The three of them sat at a table for four.

Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan sat side by side, while Xu Xiaoyan sat alone.

At this time, Qiangu Qitian sat next to Xu Xiaoyan, put his head close to Xu Xiaoyan, and asked curiously: "Xiaoyan, what's wrong with me, a big soul?"

Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

In order to save face for Xu Xiaoyan, they all tried their best not to laugh out loud.

Xu Xiaoyan turned her head, the smile on her face uglier than crying: "Yes, it's Qi Tian... Big, big brother. I, I just..."

Xu Xiaoyan suddenly had an idea and said immediately: "I was just talking about my elder brother. You have seen him. My elder brother..."

In order to save her own "life", Xu Xiaoyan used almost the most vicious words she could think of to describe her cheap brother.

Seeing his future brother-in-law being humiliated like this, Qiangu Qitian had no intention of speaking for him. He just supported his head with his hand and stretched out his other free hand to Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan didn't dare to resist and let Qiangu Qitian caress her.

"Xiao Yan... I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

good news? bad news?
After thinking for a while, Xu Xiaoyan said, "Well, let's hear the bad news first."

"Na'er is currently cultivating in the ancient golden tree. She will probably be back in half a month."

"what?"

Xu Xiaoyan felt a little worried when she thought about having to live alone for half a month.

"So, what's the good news?"

Qiangu Qitian smiled and said, "The good news is that I plan to take you away from Shrek Academy in the next half month."

Xu Xiaoyan: ...

Are you sure this is good news and bad news, not... two bad news?
