Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 43: Zhongli: "My name is Barbatos, and I am a bard!"

Zhongli stroked his chin thoughtfully at Jing Hongchen's suggestion.

The development and application of soul tools are of paramount importance to the future of Douluo Continent.

Deities can guide humanity and spread knowledge, but they cannot accomplish everything.

Of course, most importantly, divine guidance is not always correct or suitable for humanity.

Should we send someone to learn about soul tools?

The gods do not interfere with human choices. If the people sent out have little interest in soul tools, wouldn't that be misleading the younger generation?
"Liyue's current development in soul tools is indeed somewhat weak."

"If Mr. Jing could arrange for someone to come and teach here after he returns, Zhongli would be extremely grateful!"

Zhongli cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Jing Hongchen and said.

These words already represent Zhongli's choice.

Sending people to the Sun Moon Empire is clearly not a viable option.

The only option is to invite someone over to see if anyone is willing to learn about soul tools.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen understood what Zhongli meant and quickly nodded in agreement.

He had thought about this question before he raised it. Unless Zhongli was not interested in soul tools, there would definitely be some connection between Sun Moon and Liyue!
Whether Zhongli sends people to the Sun and Moon Empire to learn, or the Sun and Moon Empire sends teachers to Liyue to teach, these are all exchanges between the two "major powers".

As long as there is communication, there is a connection!

Through this connection, there may be a possibility of deeper cooperation!
Jing Hongchen left, departing from Liyue with an excited expression.

He wanted to bring this good news back to the Sun and Moon Empire as soon as possible.

This Martial God's understanding of soul tools is far more insightful than that of Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy!

At the very least, the Martial God never showed any sign of rejecting soul tools.

After Jing Hongchen left, Zhongli looked at the tea leaves and the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife on the table.

Zhong Li got up, placed the tea leaves in the main seat, and then examined the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

In a short while, Zhongli grasped the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, and at that moment, the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, which had been emitting wisps of black energy, immediately stopped.

It was as obedient as a carving knife without any "magical energy".

Eroding this person's sea of ​​consciousness?
Ha ha……

Zhongli held the carving knife in his right hand and did not chant any incantation. He simply wiped the carving knife with his left hand, and in an instant, the black aura on the carving knife seemed to evaporate and dissipated into the air, revealing its original appearance.

Zhongli casually put away the carving knife; for him, it was a trivial matter.

A moment later, just as Zhong Li was about to leave the living room, he seemed to remember something and shook his head.

With Zhongli's "identity exposed," it's clearly impossible for him to walk the streets like an ordinary person again.

With a flash of amber light, Zhongli's figure changed, transforming from a young man into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

He often did this in Liyue, Teyvat, observing Liyue from different perspectives and with a thousand faces.

For this reason, Gui Zhong even made fun of him for a while, saying that he was really like an older sister version of the Rock King Emperor, which was a bit hard to accept...

This can also be considered Zhongli's dark history.

"I wonder how she is..."

Ultimately, this "girl" with long sleeves did not perish because of her reincarnation as Zhongli, and she lived from the Demon God War until the arrival of the Traveler.

Liyue is Liyue under their rule!

It is much, much stronger than Liyue in the original timeline.

With Gui Zhong's intellect and Zhong Li's martial prowess, even the Heavenly Law would have to be wary. This version of Liyue is the strongest among the Seven Kingdoms, without a doubt.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of these chaotic thoughts, Zhongli then left the Zhongli residence.

Zhongli, in his youthful form, has black and amber hair, amber eyes, and is still exceptionally handsome.

Of course, his appearance has changed somewhat. If his appearance hadn't changed and he were just a younger version of "Zhongli," wouldn't people have mistaken him for Zhongli's son...?

On the street, people come and go, and passersby often stop to observe Zhongli, this "handsome young man."

Zhongli didn't mind, he just walked around, stopping occasionally to watch the working residents or passersby.

He has experienced and encountered all walks of life, and almost every kind of "profession".

Suddenly, a petite figure came into Zhongli's view. This figure had green hair and delicate features.

A bright smile graced her face, as if she had encountered something happy.
Zhong Li had met this girl before and knew her name and her original life trajectory.

Her name is Xiao Xiao!

Xiao Xiao is a freshman at Shrek Academy. She was supposed to stay at Shrek Academy to receive instruction, but after meeting Zhong Li in Shrek City and then what happened, Xiao Xiao left Shrek Academy without saying a word and rushed to Liyue.

"How could Brother Zhongli be a bad person!"

For Xiao Xiao, this older brother, whom she had only met once, left a deep impression on her.

At the beginning of the battle, she felt that Zhongli was not a bad person and that the Shrek Academy leadership must have made a mistake.

As the battle escalated, Shrek Academy's actions caused Xiao Xiao to frown more and more, which was why she abandoned Shrek Academy and came to Liyue without hesitation!

Shrek's actions disappointed her; that older brother... was actually a god!

A very kind God!
As if sensing Zhongli's gaze, Xiao Xiao subconsciously looked in Zhongli's direction.

Xiao Xiao was stunned at just one glance.

That hair color, those eyes...

Fortunately, their appearances were different, otherwise she would have suspected that the boy in front of her was Zhongli's younger brother or junior.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."

For some reason, Xiao Xiao felt a slight liking for the "young man" in front of her, so she took the initiative to introduce him.

Perhaps it was because the boy in front of me had hair and eye color like Zhongli.

The saying "love me, love my dog" perfectly describes this situation.

Zhongli paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, then nodded to Xiao Xiao and said, "Hello Xiao Xiao, my name is Barbatos, and I am a bard."

Barbatos forged his signature; what's wrong with him using his friend's "name"?
As for why the name Wendy isn't used... that's a wear and tear on Barbatos.

"Barbatos, the bard?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Zhong Li with a puzzled expression and murmured.

Despite her doubts, Xiao Xiao didn't think much of it and asked, "Barbatos, are you new to Liyue?"

"Yes, when I was singing the Ballad of the Wind on the mainland, I heard that there was a Liyue in the east, like the rising sun, so I came to see it."

Zhong Li said without batting an eye.

"In the east lies Liyue, like the rising sun..."

"Hi~"

Passersby and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but gasp. This wandering poet was something else!
