Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 226 Enhanced Version of Song Shuhang
Repair the world.

A cold glint suddenly appeared on the horizon of the Xiu Liao world.

After Song Shuhang was fixed to the blue short sword by Venerable Bai, the water-patterned runes flowing on the sword suddenly became as bright as day, and the sharp whistling sound of the sword cutting through the air was delayed for three breaths before exploding in place.

The blue short sword transformed into a flowing blue light, the moisture condensed along its spine being stretched into a three-foot-long tail of light at incredible speed.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Song Shuhang's scream tore through the clouds, the last syllable still lingering in his throat. By the time his second "ah" escaped his chest with a sob, it had already become a tiny black dot in the White Venerable's sight.

As Song Shuhang's fourth "Ah" faded into the mountain wind, the sword light had already disappeared into the depths of the clouds, leaving only a fleeting blue streak in the sky, like a mirror lake gently traced by a fingertip.

At this moment, Song Shuhang looked like a flattened octopus, his limbs clinging desperately to the sword light in an ergonomically unnatural position. What should have been a graceful scene of immortal cultivators soaring through the air had now degenerated into a comical spectacle.

Song Shuhang had always imagined flying on a sword as a dashing scene of lightly touching the blade with his toes and his robes fluttering in the wind. But now, the moment the short sword broke the sound barrier, it shattered into dust. The tail of Song Shuhang's eyebrows were pulled backward by the airflow generated by the extreme speed, and his entire face looked as if it had been stretched into a strange oval by an invisible hand.

"Senior Bai!" His wail was ripped to shreds by the wind blades as soon as it left his mouth. His vocal cords vibrated with difficulty in the high-pressure airflow. Salty tears were just squeezed out from the corners of his eyes when they were torn into two silver lines and flung backward. His eyelashes almost touched his brow bone.

The air seemed to solidify into a molten mercury, pressing down on him until his ribs creaked. He could still clearly feel the stinging pain of his nasal mucosa being sucked dry by the rapid airflow. Luckily, he was at the first-grade realm, about to leap over the dragon gate; otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand the wind pressure.

"At least... add a windproof cover." Song Shuhang's fingertips almost dug into the spine of the sword, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force, and his clothes made a tearing sound under the wind pressure.

Poor Song Shuhang, he had already experienced the feeling of regular flight in the Adventure World, but under the White Venerable's hands, he will sooner or later suffer from acrophobia and acrophobia.

The Venerable White said that this was absolutely not retaliation for Song Shuhang's reckless act of saying "When my hair grows long enough to reach my waist, will you marry me?" a couple of days ago.

After countless heart-pounding moments, Song Shuhang slumped onto the cobblestones of his destination in a dizzying spin. As he struggled to sit up and wiped his face, he touched a clump of unruly hair.

Her once smooth black hair now stood out like it had been struck by lightning, becoming a fluffy broom shape, with each strand stubbornly sticking out in a different direction, trembling slightly in the morning breeze.

Fortunately, his hair was only about an inch long. If it were the pharmacist's hairstyle, he would probably look like a walking dandelion, with a wild and unrestrained black firework exploding on his head.

After returning from his friend's house, Song Shuhang logged back into the Kyushu No. 1 group and saw the message Yu Rouzi had sent him.

Lingdie Island Yu Rouzi: "@Shushan is under a lot of pressure, Senior Song~ are you there? I've finally synchronized with the spirit ghost. Are you on vacation yet? Let's find a chance to go to Mysterious Island!"

What made Yu Rouzi even happier than achieving synchronization with the spirit was that she could finally leave Spirit Butterfly Island. Yu Rouzi's first thought was to invite Song Shuhang to explore the mysterious island together.

Upon hearing Yu Rouzi mention spirit ghosts, Song Shuhang couldn't help but think of his own. He felt that something about his spirit ghost was different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

However, compared to the ghost, the black dragon tattoo on his body, filled with extremely evil power, was what gave Song Shuhang a real headache. Fortunately, this black dragon tattoo could bring him sufficient benefits.

In the world of the adventure, the Black Dragon Tattoo absorbed the Earth Demon Qi. Later, when it stayed in that world to cultivate meditation and improve its proficiency with the Heaven-Burning Flame Blade with the help of righteousness, the Black Dragon Tattoo digested it and also devoured a portion of the Holy Lord's demonic energy. This was probably caused by the greed within its evil intentions.

The Earth Demon Qi was purified before being absorbed by Song Shuhang, granting him two major abilities. One was the Earth Demon's signature skill: manipulating the earth. Of course, Song Shuhang only gained a portion of the power, unable to reach the third-tier strength of a fully possessed Earth Demon. However, this would make learning and mastering spells related to the "earth element" much easier, and would also provide an enhancement in power.

This ability wasn't helpful to Song Shuhang, as he hadn't learned any earth-attribute magic from Senior White. His innate ability to manipulate the earth was perfectly suited to help Senior White fill the large crater he'd created due to his distraction.

Another ability is "thick skin and great strength". The earth power brought by the demonic energy significantly enhances the wielder's physical fitness, allowing them to tear apart boulders with their bare hands, easily throw objects weighing several tons, and demonstrate extremely strong resistance to blows in battle.

Song Shuhang's physique also inherited some of this power, and was immediately enhanced significantly. The cultivation system in the world of cultivation chat emphasizes both internal and external cultivation, giving Song Shuhang an advantage in physique. Although his strength rating is still at the second tier, he has already widened the gap considerably between himself and people like Er Qiao and his father.

Furthermore, the Devouring Holy Lord's Fire Demonic Energy also granted Song Shuhang an enhanced ability: the power to control flames. Putting aside other factors, this boost significantly increased the power of his Heaven-Burning Flame Blade.

In the original storyline, Song Shuhang at this point was still a lowly cultivator at the first rank with two apertures opened, but now he's almost about to leap over the dragon gate. Moreover, he's received additional enhancements, making him a truly upgraded version of Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang was in another world at the time and did not reply to Yu Rouzi, but others replied immediately. Beihe Sanren suggested that they could go on an adventure to the Mysterious Island together, but the problem was that Beihe Sanren, Kuangdao Sanlang, and Guhu had already been to the Mysterious Island more than twenty days ago.

The two fellow cultivators on the apothecary's side had also been to the mysterious island that could cause amnesia, but their amnesia wasn't as severe as the three of them. They at least remembered that they had entered the mysterious island, only that they had lost their memories of the island itself. When they woke up, they inexplicably found themselves on a deserted beach. But for these three, their memories were abruptly cut off 'before they set off'.

Upon learning of this situation, Venerable White also chimed in the group chat, finding the mysterious island intriguing. He had heard of the mysterious island long ago and had searched for it extensively, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he gave up.

After learning about the situation in the group, Song Shuhang muttered to himself, "I've made up my mind, I definitely won't touch that mysterious island!"

"I'd really like to see you explore this mysterious island. Maybe you can bring back some memories so I can find out what's inside. I'm so curious!" Venerable White said casually.

Song Shuhang's body stiffened slightly. This was just something Senior Bai mentioned casually; it shouldn't count as 'Venerable Bai's blessing,' right? When he first returned from the Adventure World, he received 'Venerable Bai's blessing.' There were benefits, but the price was being hunted down by a fourth-grade cultivator, and he almost died.

After browsing through the chat history, Song Shuhang began typing a message in the Kyushu No. 1 group.

Shushan is under a lot of pressure: "@Spirit Butterfly Island Yu Rouzi, Yu Rouzi, I wasn't online yesterday. If you're planning to go on an adventure soon, how about we go somewhere else? As long as it's not Mysterious Island, anywhere else is fine."

Song Shuhang suddenly remembered that Su Shi A-Sixteen was still injured, so he asked Su Shi A-Seven in the group about the situation and learned that they needed the medicinal herb Dragon Bone Vine.

The withered dragon bone vine is an extremely special spiritual material, growing only on the bones of "dragon corpses." It should be noted that the "dragon corpses" mentioned here are not the ancient "dinosaurs," but rather the legendary dragons that truly possess magical power and supreme majesty.

Dragons have a mysterious destiny in the world. Most of them go to specific dragon tombs to rest, so the number of dragons that die in the outside world is extremely small.

What's even more peculiar is that dragon corpses possess a magical characteristic: they remain uncorrupted and incorruptible even after thousands of years, as if time itself has stood still. Therefore, waiting for a dragon corpse to naturally decompose into dragon bones is an extremely difficult task. If one desires the withered vines of a true dragon's bones, it's like searching for a specific, faint star in the vast cosmos.

Ah Sixteen first appeared when she was about to be struck by lightning. It was also because of this lightning tribulation that Song Shuhang was able to form a bond with Ah Sixteen, who failed to overcome the tribulation.
