Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 225 The Journey

That evening, Ning Feiliu's farewell banquet surprised him somewhat.

Because the girls seemed to have come to their senses, they no longer looked reluctant to part with him, but instead celebrated as if they were genuinely happy for him.

Ning Feiliu didn't think too much about it and was happy to have such peace and quiet.

After the farewell banquet, he rested for three days, during which time the girls did not come to see him.

"Probably because they're afraid they'll be reluctant to part with it," Ning Feiliu said with a light laugh.

He now feels, to some extent, that his charm is a bit too great; after all, he is now a true "tall, rich, and handsome" man.

Tall, handsome, rich, and even capable men are popular with girls everywhere.

Of course, the same applies to women as well.

If you're good-looking and rich, you'll never lack men who like you.

Ning Feiliu was somewhat aware of the affections that many female students at Tianshui Academy had for him.

Especially the female students, apart from Shui Bing'er and others, had never heard him say that he already had someone he liked.

Therefore, they would secretly slip love letters to Ning Feiliu before.

In fact, in the rather feudal era of Douluo Continent, this act of attacking a master was a truly rebellious act.

Perhaps in Ning Feiliu's previous life, in that kind of world, she wouldn't find this to be a problem at all.

Some online novels even use this as a selling point for entertainment.

However, in feudal eras similar to the current era of Douluo Continent, the act of "Chong Shi" was actually an act of incest, and once exposed, it would almost certainly be controversial.

The same is true in the Douluo Continent of today, but Ning Feiliu is just too close in age to them and is really too charming.

Therefore, some of them were quite bold and chose to slip love letters to Ning Feiliu.

However, Ning Feiliu did not respond.

As for Shui Bing'er and the others, Ning Feiliu cared even less.

They weren't that bold, and he had already said he liked Dugu Yan, so there shouldn't be any more misunderstandings.

He will continue his journey to become stronger, and we will meet again someday.

But the time spent apart can make people forget those beautiful moments.

after all……

They never had a relationship other than friends and teacher and student, not even an ambiguous one or a life-or-death separation. How could she still be so hung up on him?

Even if the world of being obsessed with love is outrageous... there has to be a limit!

……

Three days later, early in the morning.

Ning Feiliu replenished some necessary supplies, most importantly fresh water and food.

After all, he had been preparing to enter the Killing City for some time.

When entering the City of Slaughter, besides having the strength to deal with those who cannot use Soul Rings and Soul Skills, the most important thing to be careful about is... not getting poisoned.

A bloodthirsty toxin is widely present in the air, drinking water, and food of the Killing City.

Especially the common water source in the Killing City—Bloody Mary, a drink made with human blood.

After drinking it, one will be affected and begin to subconsciously exhibit bloodlust and murderous behavior.

Even the way the King of Carnage controlled and sacrificed many viewers in Carnage City to commit suicide at the end of the original storyline was very likely because they had accumulated too much toxin in their bodies, which is why they were controlled by the King of Carnage.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu must plan ahead and accumulate enough food and fresh water resources to enter the Killing City.

At the same time, we must be prepared for two scenarios: to prepare an antidote that can also detoxify.

Of course, he hadn't even decided whether or not he should actually venture into the City of Slaughter.

The current preparations are just wishful thinking.

He only set off after replenishing his supplies.

"Let's go! Next stop! Code City!" Ning Feiliu took out a map from her soul tool after leaving Tianshui City.

After finding the right route, he began his journey.

Although the cities in Douluo Continent are quite far apart, there are many small towns and villages scattered along the way.

This also provides a place for travelers to rest when they are too busy to continue their journey.

Of course, Ning Feiliu didn't need to stop. He traveled at an extremely fast speed and even summoned his martial soul to boost his speed.

Tianshui City and Kede City are not far apart, and he accelerated his way forward.

So Ning Feiliu arrived at the city gate of Code City very quickly in the afternoon.

Since there were no travel permits or passes in Douluo Continent, Ning Feiliu quickly entered Code City.

only……

"You're so slow, Fei Liu-ge~~" A somewhat familiar, tender female voice came from the side of the road as soon as Ning Fei Liu entered the city gate.

Ning Feiliu's eyes widened immediately, and then, looking in the direction she saw, sure enough...

Shuiyue'er was holding a glass of juice or something similar, smiling as she looked at him.

Not only Shui Yue'er, but also Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou and Qiu Ruoshui are by her side!

"What are you doing...?" Ning Feiliu asked in astonishment.

"Oh, that's how it is... Actually, Code City is Ruoshui's hometown. She just happened to be going home, so we came along." Shen Liuyu blinked her beautiful eyes and then said with a mischievous smile.

Ning Feiliu frowned; of course, he didn't believe that reason.

Almost all Soul Master academies have a six-month study period, which means that, barring unforeseen circumstances, students can only go home for a vacation once every six months.

If a student has something to do and has to go home, that's fine.

But as Shen Liuyu said, she accompanied the other students home...

That's definitely unlikely.

Most importantly, Ning Feiliu had just left Tianshui Academy when they followed her here.

Could this really be because they accompanied Qiu Ruoshui home?

Ning Feiliu sighed helplessly and asked, "When are you going back?"

Shen Liuyu was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, they planned to travel the continent with Ning Feiliu, so they certainly couldn't just go back like this.

But what she just said made her too embarrassed to make excuses.

"Alright, Fei Liu... let's be frank. We've applied to the academy, and we'll be traveling the continent with you from now on," Shui Bing'er said, looking directly into his eyes.

"Travel the continent with me?" Ning Feiliu frowned, then said, "No, my journey ahead... will be very dangerous."

He might eventually enter the Killing City, although he hasn't made up his mind yet.

However, the Dark Harvest keystone rune in the mission rewards was simply too tempting for him.

He genuinely intends to try it as much as possible.

What will happen to Shui Bing'er and the others? They can't possibly go in with him.

What if they see Ning Feiliu enter the Killing City and don't take it seriously, then go in with her?

Therefore, Ning Feiliu refused.

"Danger? Why is it dangerous? Brother Fei Liu, didn't you say you were just going to travel to the remaining major cities in the North?" Shui Yue'er asked, her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Well..." Ning Feiliu shook her head and said helplessly, "I'm going to an extremely dangerous place, the kind where even Soul Masters at the Soul King level or above might not be able to come back alive, so I'm afraid you won't be able to come with me."

however……

"Then we'll accompany you to travel through a few major cities in the North!" Xue Wu said. "And don't worry, we won't be a burden to you."

"Yes!" The girls' eyes lit up immediately, and they said, "We'll just follow you to travel to all the places except for the dangerous place you mentioned. Besides, some of these places in the North are our hometowns."

"Fei Liu, what do you think? Actually, we only applied for a year-long training trip..." Shui Bing'er looked at him and asked, "After a year, we'll go back."

Ning Feiliu was immediately helpless, then gave in and said, "Alright then..."

Even a year wouldn't be enough to travel the entire northern border of the continent. Last time, he only managed to travel through a third of the northern border in over a year. So this time, he actually came out expecting to spend three years to complete this travel mission.

Why three years?

Because the final killing capital will definitely take about a year to complete.

To achieve a hundred consecutive victories in the Hellfire Slaughter Battle there, even if it's one battle a day, it would take at least a hundred days.

Of course, it couldn't be that simple. Ning Feiliu remembered that in the original story, it took her third brother two years.

So he'll play it safe and speedrun through Killing City in a year.

After all, with his cheat-like abilities, he didn't think Tang San in the City of Slaughter could be stronger than him now using hidden weapons or anything like that.

"Yay!!" the girls exclaimed happily.

Ning Feiliu was even more helpless. He didn't have any other options, and indeed, as long as they didn't enter the City of Slaughter, there was no danger in following him through these training sessions.

And this is actually beneficial to Shui Bing'er and the others, isn't it?

And so, Ning Feiliu's travels were joined by a group of beautiful young women.

This adds a bit of fun, I suppose.

……

Time passed quickly.

The addition of Shui Bing'er and the others to Ning Feiliu's travels only brought more fun, without adding any variables or difficulties.

Shortly after they embarked on their travels together, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament began.

Ning Feiliu heard countless people of the Heaven Dou Empire discussing this matter along the way, and she also heard the name Dugu Yan.

However, it seems that Dugu Yan ultimately failed to break through level 50 before the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

If Dugu Yan breaks through level 50, she can absolutely lead the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team to defeat the Spirit Hall team, which is without the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Unfortunately, I heard that the Tiandou Royal Academy team ultimately lost.

Ning Feiliu felt a little regretful, but five years later... Dugu Yan would still have a chance to win the championship.

This was ultimately just a minor incident in the journey, and he and Shui Bing'er continued their journey, and soon a year had passed.

Over the past year, Shui Bing'er and the others have helped Ning Feiliu with many things.

For example, acts of chivalry and charitable deeds on the road.

These are things that are easier to do with more people, and Ning Feiliu's three tasks are progressing rapidly.

This is also a way to complete the task by exploiting a bug. His cheats always have vulnerabilities, and because they are not part of the system, these vulnerabilities are not fixed.

Ning Feiliu was quite happy. Even after more than ten months of traveling the continent with Shui Bing'er and the others, his mission to Mordekaiser was completed.

[Help one hundred souls fulfill their wishes in life, and gain Mordekaiser's forbidden necromancy and mastery of the language of Ochen.]

As the small characters that appeared before her shattered again, Ning Feiliu's mind was filled with a wealth of knowledge.

"Necromantic...forbidden magic." He was somewhat lost in thought, those forbidden concepts surfacing in his mind, and then he subconsciously uttered a word that no one could understand, "Zhuanfuyu..."

"What? What were you saying, Fei Liu?"

Just then, a voice came, interrupting Ning Feiliu's thoughts.

Ning Feiliu looked up and saw that it was Shui Bing'er looking at him with a hint of shyness in her beautiful eyes.

He smiled, then waved his hand and said, "No...it's nothing..."

Then he came to his senses. Just now... he had spoken in the language of Ou Chen, and the meaning of that sentence was... "Submit to me."

Suddenly, Ning Feiliu felt the temperature around her drop slightly.

He sensed something approaching, then thought for a moment and whispered again in that eerie language, "Clear...psychic (Ou Chen's language)."

This is a low-level spell from Mordekaiser's forbidden necromancy, called the Spell of Spirit Communication.

Its function is to allow one to see the existence of the dead and souls.

Ning Feiliu suddenly saw a layer of mist before his eyes, and then he saw Shui Bing'er behind him in front of him.

Two lifeless, transparent souls appeared!

However, these two undead were actually two wild boars.

It appears they were hunted and killed here as food.

Unlike the human souls Ning Feiliu had seen before, these souls appeared somewhat frail, as if they were about to dissipate into nothingness.

In fact, he had seen many human souls like this, on the verge of their souls being scattered.

The more powerful a spirit was in life, the stronger its soul became, and the more difficult it was for it to dissipate.

However... all the previous undead were human undead, this is the first time Ning Feiliu has seen the undead of livestock.

This is naturally thanks to Mordekaiser's forbidden necromancy.

However, they were now facing Ning Feiliu and had actually knelt down, seemingly submitting to her.

"Fei Liu?" Just then, Shui Bing'er's voice came again.

This brought Ning Feiliu back to her senses.

"What's wrong?" Shui Bing'er's eyes showed considerable concern.

Even the girls who were originally setting up camp and doing other camp work all looked over at this moment.

"It's nothing..." Ning Feiliu chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry, what could possibly happen to me..."

"Alright, the moonlight is quite nice tonight. You should all hurry up and cultivate. Bing'er, I remember you reached level 39 in soul power quite early after you obtained my Moon Essence Breathing Technique. Let's see if you can break through to Soul Master during this time."

Six months after he embarked on his journey with Shui Bing'er and the others, he chose to teach them the Moon Essence Breathing Technique.

Ning Feiliu was never one to be overly concerned with his own reputation, and the Moon Essence Breathing Technique was already a widely known skill among the people around him.

He doesn't need to hold anything back.

After Shui Bing'er and the others obtained the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Shui Yue'er directly increased her soul power by one level every two and a half months, and broke through to level thirty-nine soul power in eight months.
