Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 24 The Soul Emperor Seeks Refuge with Sikong Zhen, and Thirteen Immortal Herbs!
Not just Flanders.

Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Qin Ming, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Tang San, and others also gathered around.

Zhao Wuji quickly asked, "Old Lu, what are you doing?"

"We've been together at Shrek Academy for years, enduring so much hardship. We finally made it through, why are you leaving?"

Li Yusong frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Old Lu, is there some misunderstanding? We've been brothers for so many years, can't we talk things out?"

"Teacher Lu, why are you leaving?" Qin Ming asked anxiously.

Looking at his old friends of many years and his prized disciple Qin Ming, Lu Qibin felt a pang of reluctance.

But he quickly suppressed his reluctance.

Lu Qibin said firmly, "I have thought it through."

"Leaving Shrek Academy was my personal decision, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. I just felt that I should live a different life."

at this time.

Flander suddenly asked, "Is it because of those words from Sikong Zhen?"

When Sikong Zhen spoke to Lu Qibin earlier, he did not deliberately lower his voice, nor did he use his soul power to force the sound into a line.

therefore.

Flanders and the others all heard those words, as well as Lu Qibin's thanks.

Lu Qibin paused for a moment when he heard Flander's question, but quickly regained his composure.

He didn't deny it, but simply nodded slightly and said firmly, "Flander, you're right."

"The words of the young Marquis Sikong have indeed given me new insights."

"I've been pursuing the way of Go, but I haven't made any progress. His guidance gave me hope for a breakthrough!"

Flanders frowned, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

After a few breaths.

Flander took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Old Lu, just because of these few words, you're going to leave us? Leave Shrek?"

"Is our friendship of so many years really worth less than a few words from an outsider?"

Lu Qibin shook his head, looking at Flander with unwavering eyes: "Flander, you don't understand. This isn't just a matter of a few words; it's about the obsession in my heart finally being shattered."

"This kind of thing can't be summarized in just a few words."

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but interject, "Old Lu, isn't what you're saying a bit too mystical?"

"What obsession? Isn't the goal of us Soul Masters to become stronger? You can cultivate and improve your Soul Power just as well in the academy, so why do you have to leave?"

Li Yusong, this little old man, is usually closest to Lu Qibin.

now.

Unlike the others who simply tried to dissuade him, Li Yusong began to consider things from Lu Qibin's perspective.

Soon, Li Yusong said, "Old Lu, you can leave if you want."

"Everyone needs something to pursue in life. You're pursuing the way of chess, a higher realm, and we can't stop you!"

Lu Qibin felt a flash of gratitude in his eyes when he heard Li Yusong's words.

He nodded, his tone relieved, and said, "Old Li, you really understand me. Thank you all for your care and understanding over the years."

Seeing that Li Yusong did not dissuade Lu Qibin, but instead supported his decision.

Flander's feelings were even more complicated.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said helplessly, "Old Lu, since you've made your decision, I won't say anything more."

"However, the doors of Shrek Academy are always open for you. Whenever you wish to return, you are welcome!"

Lu Qibin smiled slightly, his eyes full of gratitude: "Flander, thank you."

Done.

Lu Qibin turned and left.

……

After leaving Shrek Academy.

Lu Qibin chased after Sikong Zhen and the other two in the direction they had left.

Meanwhile, Sikong Zhen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan were walking towards the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Sikong Zhen had already arranged it yesterday, asking Yu Tianheng and the others to meet in the afternoon.

"It's about time now." Dugu Bo said as he walked. "Xiao Zhen, what you said to Lu Qibin just now was quite profound!"

Sikong Zhen smiled slightly, his gaze deep: "Grandpa Dugu, you flatter me."

Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Captain, what did you mean by 'putting yourself in the game and winning against fate'?"

Sikong Zhen glanced at Dugu Yan, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of profound meaning.

"Sometimes, we need to put ourselves in the situation to see the big picture. Only by truly understanding everything in the situation can we find the key to breaking the deadlock."

"To risk one's life without hesitation, to never regret a move once made."

Dugu Yan nodded as if she understood, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

Dugu Bo also fell into deep thought.

at this time.

I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

The three of them turned around and saw Lu Qibin quickly catching up.

"Young Master Sikong, please wait!" Lu Qibin shouted loudly.

Sikong Zhen stopped and turned to look at Lu Qibin, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Lu Qibin, right? What's this?"

Lu Qibin walked up to Sikong Zhen and bowed respectfully.

"Young Master Sikong, thank you for your guidance today. I hope to follow in your footsteps and continue to pursue my path in chess."

Sikong Zhen was slightly taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, he agreed, "Okay."

A Soul Emperor.

He is still a Soul Emperor after enlightenment, so breaking through to Soul Saint should be easy for him in the future.

Even a Contra Master might have the potential to break through!

However, Lu Qibin is getting on in years, and it is only now, under his guidance, that he has had an epiphany. It is still hard to say what his potential is.

Lu Qibin quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Marquis!"

Dugu Bo glanced at Lu Qibin and said indifferently, "You are quite decisive."

"Greetings, Your Majesty Poison Douluo." Lu Qibin bowed to him.

“You used to be from Shrek Academy, so try to have less contact with them in the future,” Dugu Bo said, waving his hand meaningfully.

Lu Qibin nodded, his tone firm: "I understand."

……

Tiandou Royal Academy.

A spacious reception room.

Dugu Bo, Sikong Zhen, Dugu Yan, and Lu Qibin sat around a round table.

Dugu Bo took out the Ruyi Treasure Pouch from his bosom, and with a gentle shake, thirteen different-shaped immortal herbs, each emitting a strange light, appeared on the table.

Each of these magical herbs is extraordinary, as if it contains the essence of heaven and earth.

This was the first time Lu Qibin had ever seen the immortal herb. He hadn't even seen it when Tang San had given it away before.

now.

Upon seeing these miraculous herbs, a hint of shock flashed in Lu Qibin's eyes.

"These medicinal herbs all come from my own herb garden," Dugu Bo said calmly, with a hint of pride in his voice.

"Each plant has extraordinary effects, which can enhance the strength and talent of a Soul Master."

Speaking of it.

Dugu Bo couldn't help but start cursing Tang San again.

"It's all that little beast Tang San's fault! There should have been more than twenty immortal herbs, but now there are only thirteen left!"

Sikong Zhen's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the thirteen immortal herbs.

Several readers have commented that Sikong Zhen's sixth spirit ring was delayed until the end of the competition, which they felt was a case of "holding back a level".

I originally thought the competition would only last a month or two, so it wouldn't matter much. Besides, if I wanted to absorb the sixth spirit ring of 100,000 years, I would need to win over some strong people.

To meet everyone's demands, let's get the sixth spirit ring sooner, and it'll be a 100,000-year spirit ring!
