Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 248 Leaving
"boom!"

Dozens of bright yellow star clusters plunged into the darkness, making brief explosions before disappearing one by one.

Ye Xinglan let out a shout, and his figure transformed into a golden starlight. The Star God Sword drew down the starlight, illuminating the golden sword blade and reflecting layer upon layer of brilliance.

Every starlight in the sky seemed to come alive, exuding a murderous intent, each starlight echoing her will.

The sword's edge pierced straight ahead like a rainbow.

Yuan Enhui raised her hand and clenched it, and endless darkness, accompanied by a flowing force field, transformed into a huge vortex.

It continuously devoured the surrounding starlight, until finally all the starlight dissipated, leaving only a huge black vortex in place.

On the training field, the darkness released by Yuan En Hui shrouded the sky, while on the other side, stars dotted the night sky.

Xu Xiaoyan gently swung her slender legs, clad in white stockings, and watched with some boredom as Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui dueled on the training field.

While on the Star Luo Continent, the constant sparring and battles along the way went smoothly, but upon returning to the academy, for some unknown reason, the two of them ended up facing off.

Let them fight, it's nothing serious. It's just that these two people seem to be fighting desperately every time they fight, but they don't use battle armor, they just use their soul skills and combat techniques.

For some reason, Yuan Enhui's soul power increased quite quickly, while Ye Xinglan's soul power lagged behind. So, he had to pull her over every time to provide battlefield assistance.

This allowed the two to fight even more intensely.

"boom!"

The Star God Sword was once again deflected by immense force. Feeling the shock, a hint of pleasure flashed across Ye Xinglan's usually cold face.

The Star God Sword is not only a sword, but also possesses extremely powerful stellar attributes!
In the past, she pursued swordsmanship more. But after experiencing the unique attributes of those stars on the observatory, she felt the starlight that was full of killing intent, sharpness, judgment, and destruction.

She then realized that the star attributes also have many attributes, which can be divided into detailed categories.

But swords are inherently dangerous weapons!
No matter how much decoration or meaning you give it, it cannot change the fact that a sword is a weapon of slaughter.

From that moment on, Ye Xinglan has been pursuing the combination of sword intent and that starlight.

Perhaps in the past my soul power was too low, or perhaps my spiritual will was not pure enough, so the star attributes I sensed were always very vague.

Now, perhaps because she has enough soul power, or perhaps because her will has become pure enough through repeated battles, she has finally seized that opportunity!

That's all for today. We'll meet again at the agreed time.

"it is good!"

With a light breath, Yuan Enhui tried to calm his trembling mental sea.

The battle between the two did not appear to be particularly intense; it was merely a clash of their mental fortitude.

Ye Xinglan's sword intent had a feeling that it could cut through anything, and Yuanen Yehui kept using her spiritual will to clash with the opponent's sword intent throughout the process.

Yuan Enhui had been drawing power from the demon plane continuously, following the method provided by Lin Xingyu.

The demon plane is incredibly generous; it practically gives her as much as she asks for, but every bit of power contains a certain degree of corruption.

Lin Xingyu provided her with a solution to the impact on her martial soul, but she had to erase the imprint of will within the power herself.

The struggle against the inner will of the demonic power is a long process of mental tempering.

This allows her to easily hone her own boxing skills, and her clashes with Ye Xinglan are also a test of her will.

This is also why she was willing to spar with Ye Xinglan.

Seeing that the two had finished their sparring, Xu Lizhi quickly stepped forward, "Sister Xinglan, are you alright? I'm here..."

"It's alright, no need! It's even better to cultivate in this state."

Xu Lizhi put away the steamed buns he had made, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Xinglan's expression, Xu Lizhi took out a rather exquisite insulated food box from his storage soul tool. "Sister Xinglan, are you hungry? I brought some here..."

"I'm going to meditate now."

After leaving behind a simple sentence, Ye Xinglan turned and left, leaving behind a cold and aloof figure.

Xu Lizhi froze on the spot, as if he had lost all his vitality, and as if he and the food in his hand had lost their meaning of existence.

Seeing Xu Lizhi looking somewhat dejected, Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward and said softly, "She probably had some kind of realization."

Xu Lizhi forced a smile and said casually, "It's nothing, I know. Sister Xinglan just likes cultivating."

"I just feel like she's going astray, like she's turning herself into a sword. I just hope she can relax a bit and not push herself so hard."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded and changed the subject.

"By the way, I haven't seen Xie Xie lately. Where did he go?"

"Xie Xie? He recently mentioned that he's gotten involved with a Title Douluo from the Tang Sect. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll have a Title Douluo as his teacher, who's also an agility-based attacker, I think his name is Liang Xiaoyu."

At this point, Xu Lizhi couldn't help but feel a little envious. Having a titled Douluo personally guiding you, and also following the same agility-based attack style, will make your future path much easier.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback: "Wasn't he always pursuing the evolution of his martial soul? Has he given up now?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi's expression turned strange for a moment: "No, he said that he originally had two paths for the evolution of his martial soul. One was to follow Wu Lin and absorb the aura of dragons, and the other was to pursue a higher-level metal soul spirit. Now he has figured out another one. Isn't he a mecha manufacturer? He said he wants to try to see if he can leave a soul guidance array on his martial soul or soul spirit to promote the evolution of his martial soul."

“These won’t take much effort; he plans to try pursuing all three paths simultaneously.”

"Full of energy." Xu Xiaoyan could only sigh sincerely at this kind of energetic person.

"Yes, he..."

Just as Xu Lizhi was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a strong surge of spiritual energy emanating from Seagod Island.

The training ground where the group was located was not far from the Sea God Lake, so anyone with a sharp mind could detect the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Let's go see what's going on," Xu Xiaoyan said softly, somewhat curious.

He then got up and walked towards the direction of the Sea God Lake. Yuan Enhui and Xu Lizhi exchanged a glance and followed him.

Upon arriving at the shore of Poseidon Lake, the group froze. Scattered around them were other students, all staring blankly in the direction of Poseidon Island.

All the plants on Poseidon Island turned into a dazzling gold, making it look like a dreamlike land cast in gold from afar.

……

When everything was over, Lin Xingyu quietly shut down the "high-dimensional vision," ending his observation of the golden ancient tree.

He hadn't dared to observe closely before for fear of being discovered, but now that so many people were watching the Golden Tree, even if they noticed someone was observing, it would be difficult to identify who it was. It was a good opportunity to observe it carefully.

The whole golden ancient tree gave Lin Xingyu a feeling of unnaturalness in nature.

Suddenly, Lin Xingyu thought of Shrek Academy's tradition of returning trees.

In other words, after death, their soul, along with their entire cultivation, returns to the Golden Tree. Ten thousand years ago, only those Limit Douluo would have their souls return to the Golden Tree after death, but now, all Title Douluos of Shrek Academy choose to have their souls return to the Golden Tree after they die of old age.

This is also the source of the energy gathered by the ancient golden tree, and probably the source of the slight imperfection that I felt.

The Golden Tree is a child of nature, but ultimately it is not the embodiment of nature. It can absorb these energies, but it will eventually leave behind some residue.

So this is probably one of the reasons why the Golden Tree is dying now?
The purest energy was taken away by Ah Yin, while the less pure energy was left to the Golden Ancient Tree.

Having fulfilled its function as a filter, Gintoki has likely reached its limit, leaving the Golden Tree with only a final purpose.

With the death of the Golden Tree, the identity of the Child of Nature became vacant, and Tang Wulin took the opportunity to become the Child of Nature. He was then able to condense the core of a plane, and the newly formed core could directly serve as Ah Yin's perfect embodiment.

This will allow Ah Yin to successfully complete her rebirth and become a true core of the plane.

At that time, Tang Hao will be the master of the plane, Ah Yin will be the core of the plane, and Tang Wulin will be the child of nature.

The lord of the plane symbolizing the sky, the core of the plane symbolizing the earth, and the child of nature symbolizing the beings of the plane.

Good heavens, this family has taken over the entire ecosystem of the Douluo Continent.

All the roads are blocked; this is truly hellish difficulty.

After pondering this for a while, Lin Xingyu felt a surge of fighting spirit.

"Let's see how far I end up!"

……

The moonlight streamed down like flowing water.

After a day of bustling activity, Shrek City, as one of the most prosperous and populous cities on the entire continent, remained lively and vibrant.

Lin Xingyu and Xu Xiaoyan were walking on the busiest street.

Xu Xiaoyan, dressed in a sky-blue flowing dress, had an excited smile on her face. The two of them walked from the shopping street to the dreamlike theme park, where they played with all kinds of local snacks and games from the afternoon until late at night.

Lin Xingyu let her have her way, and the two wandered around until late at night. As many shops closed, they finally returned to the academy with some reluctance.

Moonlight shone down with the gentle breeze, casting long shadows of the two people.

"Can you take me with you?"

"I'm going to a place that suits me to cultivate, not saying goodbye forever," Lin Xingyu said softly, gently stroking Xu Xiaoyan's light blue hair.

“I know you. You never had any great ambitions when you were young. You’ve only gotten this far because you’re talented and your family has high expectations for you.”

"Afraid of disappointing them, you began your cultivation journey."

"You should prefer to be a carefree little princess, living a happy and peaceful life every day, with no worries to worry about."

"I'm afraid you won't adapt to the place I'm going to this time. If it's just for graduation, or if you're going to work there directly, I can take you with me, but you have to graduate first!"

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head in annoyance, raised her right hand, and slapped away Lin Xingyu's left hand that was playing with her hair. She then gave Lin Xingyu a resentful look.

"You know me so well, yet you still don't know what I want? And you're always making me angry!"

Lin Xingyu, whose left hand had been knocked off, naturally took her hand and said in a very gentle tone, "Staying here now is the best choice for you."

The Holy Spirit Cult would certainly not hide the timing of its actions from Leng Yulai. With Leng Yulai acting as an inside agent, he knew exactly when the Holy Spirit Cult would make its move.

We can come up with a reason to take the person away beforehand, without worrying about any danger.

The two followed the bustling crowd towards the academy.

The surrounding soul-guided lights illuminated the night with a dazzling array of colors.

After entering the college, the crowd dispersed, with only one or two students passing by occasionally.

Just as they were about to part, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly stopped and gently grabbed Lin Xingyu's hand with her right.

"what happened?"

She suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Lin Xingyu with all her might, the force so great that it seemed she wanted to crush him and etch him into her very bones.

The light flowed like water over her pale blue hair, creating a hazy and soft halo. Her hair fell down, shimmering like satin under the light, each strand outlining delicate traces of light.

The next moment, as if she had made up her mind, she finally stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and kissed him with all her might. That gentle kiss seemed to have exhausted all the courage she had in her life.

Just like an animated scene, in Xu Xiaoyan's perception, everything around her was frozen and faded like a photograph.

There were only two people left in the whole world.

a long time.

Xu Xiaoyan loosened her grip, her face flushed, and took a half-step back, slightly out of breath.

"This was my first kiss, and it should be yours, right?"

Lin Xingyu nodded. "It really was our first kiss."

A look of satisfaction immediately appeared on Xu Xiaoyan's fair and delicate face.

"Hehe, I'll graduate from the academy as soon as possible, and then I'll come find you. If I find out you're being fickle, you'll be sorry!"

As she spoke, she waved her small, white fist.

"It's a deal! I'll pick you up myself then."

"It's a pinky promise then, and we'll see who's the bigger puppy!"

Looking at Xu Xiaoyan's red ears, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but chuckle.

"it is good!"

……

Go back to dorms.

Lin Xingyu quickly finished packing. Although he had a lot of things, most of them were stored in his soul tool, and only some daily necessities were kept in the room.

In the end, he still did not agree to Wu Changkong's request to leave an identity in the inner courtyard. If he did so, who knew if those people in the inner courtyard would make any further demands, after all, there were quite a few abstract figures among them.

It's not only troublesome, but also time-consuming and laborious.

They carefully selected a suitable gift for each person from inside the soul tool.

Tomorrow we will embark on a new journey.
