Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

The crow's expression was unpredictable. He coughed twice, but in reality, his heart was churning with turmoil. He thought to himself, "What a powerful sense of oppression! The moment our eyes met, I felt a chill seep into my bones, and a cold sensation seeped into my neck."

It made even a villainous soul master like him, who had one foot in the Super Douluo realm, feel threatened with his life.

This kid... is truly a prodigy.

Six months ago they were evenly matched, but now... they've probably improved again.

"When are we leaving?" the crow changed the subject.

"Now."

Lu Cheng played with the jade pendant in his hand and slowly spoke.

……

"drink!"

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Silver Moon True Form!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Moonfall!"

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a stunningly beautiful fairy seemed to have borrowed the moon from the sky and carried it on her back.

Looking down at the hordes of blood-red baboons below, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes. He spoke in a cold tone and unleashed his soul skill.

And this was combined with Wakagi's Wood Release: Entanglement.

The attack struck precisely the leader, a nearly 40,000-year-old blood-red baboon king. The latter roared, but its voice quickly faded as it was struck by Yueji's blade, its life force rapidly fading away...

"Roar!!!"

Seeing this, the other blood-red baboons roared in grief and anger, but after a brief standoff with the other Shrek Academy disciples, they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After all, without the leader's berserk buff, their strength was suddenly reduced...

"Not bad, Le Xuan, you've gotten stronger again."

Ruomu waved his hand, signaling one of the inner court disciples to finish off the life of the crimson baboon king, who was paralyzed on the ground and unable to move. This was the soul ring that was suitable for him.

He leaned closer and said with a grin.

"Nowadays, even I might not be a match for you. You really are quite similar to that guy..."

"Senior Sister Ruomu." Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, looking at Ruomu with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Ah... haha." Ruomu awkwardly patted her head, trying to change the subject: "Well... Zhang Ling and I are getting married soon, you must come!"

"So fast?" Zhang Lexuan asked in surprise.

"What's so fast... We've been married for so many years." Ruomu said with a smile, her tone unconsciously revealing a sense of happiness.

"Congratulations to you then," Zhang Lexuan said resentfully.

“Hmm…” Ruomu’s face twitched.

It seems she said something wrong again.

But that's just her carefree and easygoing nature; she never would have imagined...

The two arrived at the top of an ancient tree, sat cross-legged on a thick branch, and began to chat quietly.

Sparks flickered below, and the inner court disciples, who looked like ants, were laughing and joking around the fire. Their energetic laughter occasionally reached the two people's ears.

"It's alright, Senior Sister Ruomu. Actually, I've already let it go."

Under the pale moonlight.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes were calm, and her lips were tinged with a rosy glow under the silvery moonlight.

"Have you really come to terms with it?" Ruomu asked cautiously.

Zhang Lexuan nodded earnestly.

Gazing at the starry sky through his pale blue eyes, he said, "When we meet again, I will cripple him and take him back to Tiandou City. I will make him kowtow and apologize to the dozens of people from the Lu and Zhang families who were wiped out."

"And then?" Ruomu asked.

"Then... I will accompany him to a quiet, undisturbed village, to spend the rest of my life washing away the many sins he has committed, and to complete his final journey." Zhang Lexuan's tone was soft, but unusually firm.

Ruomu looked bewildered.

"Le Xuan, you're not inheriting the Sea God Pavilion? Elder Mu regarded you as..."

Zhang Lexuan shook her head.

“The academy has Xiao Tao. All these years, I’ve forced and pressured her to cultivate relentlessly, all so that she could inherit the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master. I am a sinner. Since I have fallen in love with him, and have inadvertently caused the deaths of so many people, then I will spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins with him…”

Ruomu: "..."

If Elder Mu heard this, would he be so angry that he would die on the spot?

In reality, Xuanzi, who was dozing off among the ancient trees not far away, had his eyes wide open like copper bells.

"But, is it really worth sacrificing the rest of your life for such a beast..." Ruomu's eyes twitched as she spoke tactfully.

“He is, after all, my brother, and the only ‘family’ I have left in this world after our parents died,” Zhang Lexuan said softly.

Ruomu was numb.

I should have known better than to bring this up.

Will Old Master Mu beat her up when she gets back?

Probably not...

"This kid... he's really damn lucky to have run into a silly girl like you." Ruomu shook her head, looking on with a sigh.

They really are a pair of... sworn enemies.

"Moreover, my mission this time was to infiltrate the other side of the Mingdou Mountains, head to the Sun and Moon Continent, and annihilate a powerful evil soul master who had fled there. Within the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire, I caught up with that guy, and before I died, I managed to extract information about him from him again."

"..."

Zhang Lexuan trembled, her calm expression instantly freezing.

He slowly looked at Ruomu, his eyes showing a barely perceptible urgency, but after realizing what he was doing, a complex look welled up in his eyes...

"That guy is doing quite well. After joining the Holy Spirit Cult, he's said to wield immense power. In the Sun and Moon Empire, even the princes are inferior to him." Ruomu naturally noticed this scene and sighed inwardly. How could he have let go of it? But then again, how could he just let go of something so deeply etched in his memory?

"Now, he has probably reached the peak of the 89th level Soul Douluo realm." Ruomu sighed.

"Level 89 Contra..."

Zhang Lexuan's nails dug into her flesh, blood dripping down her pale palms, yet she felt nothing.

Even with all her hard work and cultivation over the years, she's still no match for this guy?

Chapter 20 Three years have passed, and you're still so weak, my dearest little sister... (Combined Chapter)

"Crackling and popping~"

As sparks flew from the dry wood, it gradually turned black. Xuanzi was also quite shocked, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. That damned brat, not only did he fall into the trap of becoming an evil soul master, but he also tried to abduct the only heir of Shrek Academy.

This is simply... unforgivable!

However, he probably had to go back and report to Elder Mu first. Seeing that the girl's words were serious and not like she was joking, he was worried that she might catch Elder Mu off guard.

As for this place, it is still considered to be on the edge of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. The probability of encountering a 100,000-year-old soul beast is very low. Zhang Lexuan, Ruomu and others can also deal with other 10,000-year-old soul beasts.

Let's go.

Xuanzi took another swig of wine and shook his head.

"I wonder how Elder Mu will respond. Oh well, what a tragic fate..."

Having said that, his figure disappeared into the tree branches.

……

Silent all night.

Zhang Lexuan and Ruomu were unaware that Elder Xuan had also left, and confidently led their team deeper into the core area.

The forest grew increasingly dense, with ancient trees all around reaching hundreds of meters into the clouds, and the light filtering through the leaves became increasingly sparse.

It got dark around us.

"and many more……"

Something seems off.

Ruomu frowned slightly, paused, and raised his hand to signal to stop.

The group suddenly stopped, all eyes fixed on Ruomu.

This is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, where powerful soul beasts, rarely seen in the past, are everywhere. Even with a very strong leader leading the way, no one dares to be careless in the slightest.

"Senior Sister Ruomu, what's wrong?" Zhang Lexuan asked softly as she approached Ruomu, noticing her serious expression.

“Something’s not right…” Ruomu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a green light rose from the soles of his feet, with green vines quietly emerging in all directions.

"Such terrifying pressure! No, it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast!!" A moment later, Ruomu suddenly opened his eyes, his expression grave: "It sensed our presence and is rapidly approaching us!"

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?!"

A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes.

Unexpectedly, we encountered such a terrifying being at the top of the food chain in the Star Dou Great Forest so soon.

"Elder Xuan, we can't handle this... we'll have to ask you for help." Ruomu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a smile appearing on his lips.

Elder Xuan, as a level 98 Super Douluo of the Inner Academy, is comparable to a top expert on the continent with a lifespan of 400,000 to 500,000 years. He can easily deal with a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast.

“Perfect… this 100,000-year-old soul beast will be your eighth soul ring.” Ruomu smiled at Zhang Lexuan.

The soul rings have already been assigned.

"Me?" Zhang Lexuan lowered her head and murmured softly.

In her memory, that person's seventh spirit ring was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. Her physical body had been honed to an extremely strong level from childhood to adulthood. In fact, her seventh spirit ring was a 99,000-year-old spirit beast, just one step away from 100,000 years old.

But all of this... was nurtured by him bit by bit.

She can still remember the doting look in that person's eyes as she played around in the medicinal bath.
