Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy! I'm back!"

Looking at the familiar playground and the old buildings, Shi Guang was somewhat moved to tears.

Several months later, Han San is back!

After paying the coachman's fee, Shi Guang was put inside, much to the gatekeeper's surprise.

Only a few people were walking or running on the playground.

When Shi Guang arrived at the simulated area and didn't see Yu Tianheng and the others, he knew that today must be a day off.

Walking along the playground to the teachers' dormitory building, Shi Guang took a deep breath in front of his home and slowly knocked on the door.

Who is it?

After waiting for a while, Shi's mother's voice came, and the door was slowly opened.

What came into view was Shi Guang's smiling face and Shi's mother's shocked expression and slightly swollen eyelids.

"Son, son?"

Shi's mother's voice trembled slightly. She looked at the handsome boy in front of her, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly, her body shaking and her voice trembling with sobs.

"Is it really you? You're back!"

Feeling her mother trembling, Time gently patted her back, his voice tender, "It's me, I'm back!"

"Okay, come in quickly!" Shi's mother wiped away her tears and hurriedly pulled Shi into the house, her expression joyful. "Your father went out on business. He will be very happy when he comes back!"

"Have a seat for a bit! I'll go buy some groceries! Tonight I'm making all your favorite dishes!"

Shi Guang smiled and nodded, sitting on the sofa and looking at the familiar furniture around him. A long-lost sense of warmth welled up in his heart.

Even someone as tough as Shi Guang couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed with joy.

This is not only because of the warmth of home, but also because of my mother's puffy eyes from tears, her aged face with more crow's feet, and her long hair mixed with strands of white hair.

Time inevitably felt a little guilty.

It was all my own scheming that made my mother bear the sorrow of parting that she shouldn't have had to.

As Shi's mother went out to buy groceries, Shi returned to his room and looked at the clean and tidy house. Feeling warm inside, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

When Shi's mother returned after a while, she knew what was going on as soon as she saw the tightly closed door to Shi Guang's room.

She smiled as she tied on her apron, humming a song in a cheerful mood as she cooked her son's favorite dishes after his return.

There's no place like home where mothers are the best. A mother's selfless love is the purest aspect of humanity in any world.

When evening came, the meditation ended.

His mental energy sensed the approach of another powerful mental energy.

When he arrived home, Nian's expression was calm. He looked at the several delicious dishes on the table, and at first he looked puzzled, but then his expression became serious.

Having possessed the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force.

"Who broke into my son's room!?"

Shi Nian's expression was solemn. He stared intently at the room. Judging from the level of spiritual power inside, it should be at least a Soul Emperor level Soul Master.

Judging from the quality of his spiritual power alone, the opponent's strength should be among the weakest Soul Emperors. His spiritual power is not solid and is more of a quantity than a quality.

Such a Soul Emperor is nothing more than a piece of cake to Shi Nian!

As the door slowly opened, Shi Nian revealed a cold smile and mobilized his soul power, ready to fight at any moment.

He wanted to see who dared to sneak into the Room of Time right under his nose!

The moment the door was fully opened and the view before his eyes caused his breath to escape.

Time, observing the poised and ready-to-go era, asked with a puzzled expression, "Father, what's going on?"

"Oh, I'm just training!" Shi Nian chuckled. "This is a training method I developed myself, a little trick to gather soul power in my body at any time!"

"Yeah?"

Shi Guang seemed a little surprised. Sitting at the dining table, she asked, "It's been so long! Did you miss me?"

"Come on! I see you're doing quite well with Dugu Bo, you never come back to see us!"

Shi Nian rolled her eyes at him, sat down in her chair and looked at Shi Guang with curiosity and surprise in her eyes, "Your mental power... how could it be..."

Seeing Shi Nian's hesitant words, Shi Guang understood what she meant and smiled as she spoke, "It all started when I first went to Sunset Forest..."

As time went by, Shi Nian and her mother, who had brought over the meal at some unknown time, listened attentively.

They looked tense when they heard that Shi Guang was in crisis, but their faces lit up with congratulatory smiles when they learned that Shi Guang had absorbed the immortal herb.

When Shi Nian learned that Shi Guang's martial souls had both evolved, his expression turned to disbelief. "What!? You're saying that your Remnant Dream martial soul, with the help of the Spiritual Power Immortal Herb, actually underwent a second awakening!?"

"good!"

Time nods and summons dreams.

Shi Nian quickly checked and found that Shi Guang's martial spirit was very different from his broken dream, not only in appearance, but also in the spiritual power it emitted.

Shi Nian gazed at the clearly visible outline of the illusionary dream and summoned his Remnant Dream Martial Soul.

The moment the two martial souls met, they spontaneously released their spiritual power to approach each other. This is because martial souls of the same attribute will involuntarily suppress each other.

Under the watchful eyes of the father and son, the two spiritual forces were locked in a stalemate for a while, and finally, Shi Nian's remnant dream suppressed Shi Guang's illusion with a slight advantage.

Upon seeing this, Shi Nian was overjoyed.

He knew that his Remnant Dream Martial Soul, amplified by the six Soul Rings and strengthened by his decades of spiritual cultivation, was now fully enhanced.

His Remnant Dream Martial Soul possesses immense hidden spiritual power. Even without his master inputting spiritual power to enhance it, the Remnant Dream's own spiritual power alone is of higher quality than the Martial Souls of other Soul Masters of the same level.

In the clash between the two martial souls just now, neither of them infused their martial souls with spiritual power; it was purely a contest between the two martial souls, a contest of their quality.

Shi Nian discovered that the reason why his Remnant Dream Martial Soul could suppress Shi Guang's Remnant Dream was mainly due to the Remnant Dream's incomparably powerful spiritual force.

This means that time has truly evolved the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, leading it down an independent path and creating a Martial Soul of even higher quality than its original Remnant Dream!

"Your Martial Soul after the second awakening of the Remnant Dream is called Illusion Dream, right?" Shi Nian excitedly examined Illusion Dream. "As the second awakening of the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, what additional effects does it have?"

"The illusion not only gave me a significant increase in mental strength, but also enhanced the original abilities of the remnant dream!"

Shi Guang said in a deep voice, "Now that my Illusionary Dream Martial Soul has been strengthened, not only are the illusions woven by other Soul Masters more realistic and the effects more lifelike, but it has also unlocked other abilities!"

For example, I now possess the ability to connect with others' mental energy and enter their dreams! The prerequisite is that the other person's soul power and mental power cannot exceed mine by too much!

Upon hearing this, Shi's mother was somewhat surprised that both of Shi's martial souls had evolved, but Shi Nian understood the meaning behind Shi's words and couldn't help but gasp.

"I never imagined that the Dream Realm after its second awakening would possess such terrifying abilities!"
