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

The Shrek disciples stared in astonishment at the rising sea of ​​fire and the terrifyingly powerful combat strength.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the legendary inner court demon king.

How could he possibly fight a top-tier expert like Xuanzi to a standstill?

Ruomu was being supported, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

This was once the genius on whom Elder Mu placed the most hope, the future master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy... What a pity...

He was a member of the Holy Spirit Church from beginning to end.

The other Soul Saints and Soul Emperors all had their eyes twitching wildly.

The familiar feeling is back...

Chapter 23 Xuanzi goes blind in one eye

"Ahhhh!!!"

Xuanzi covered his eyes, blood flowing from between his fingers, and roared loudly.

The arrow nearly pierced his skull.

He underestimated Lu Cheng's full-force attack, which was absolutely comparable to a Super Douluo's full-force attack. Even as a level 98 Super Douluo, he shouldn't have relied solely on his physical body to withstand it.

But by the time he summoned his true martial spirit, it was too late.

With his other hand, Xuanzi gripped the crimson arrow and ripped it out of his eye. Blood gushed out uncontrollably, staining his hand covering his eye crimson.

That eye... is shattered.

"Xuanzi, I will take one of your eyes; this is the justice I have sought for Lexuan..."

The intense pain made him tremble all over, and the arrogant words spoken by the figure in his mind made him feel extremely angry.

His other eye looked around, but there was nothing there; Lu Cheng was nowhere to be seen.

In the chaos, his gluttonous ox also severely injured the boy, but given the boy's slippery, eel-like escape ability, he must have run off somewhere.

"Lu Cheng, don't let me catch you again!!!"

Xuanzi could only roar in vain.

……

The Star Dou Great Forest is located at the easternmost edge, near the border of the Dou Ling Empire.

On a giant rock.

A figure in a black robe stood proudly, followed by Zhang Lexuan, who leaned against the rock wall with her long, beautiful legs curled up and crossed. Her light blue eyes occasionally glanced at the distant sky, a hint of worry in them.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.

A dark shadow appeared on the horizon, and when it was seen again, it had landed on the giant rock.

"Pfft~"

As soon as he landed, Lu Cheng couldn't help but kneel down, spitting out a mouthful of blood, as if his internal organs had been shaken and shifted.

This is a full-scale counterattack from a level 98 Super Douluo.

For someone who hasn't even reached the Title Douluo level yet, being able to escape using the Mirror Image is still quite monstrous. Being severely injured instead of losing his life is already considered good luck.

"Are you alright, kid?" Crow asked, frowning slightly.

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhang Lexuan, whose eyes were clearly filled with worry, but who bit her red lips and hesitated to speak.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand and waved it casually.

Swallow the metallic taste in your throat.

"It's alright."

"He couldn't track me down."

"Why are you doing this to yourself..." Crow glanced at Zhang Lexuan, then at Lu Cheng, and said with a sigh.

He's not stupid; he naturally saw through the trick.

This kid isn't competing; he's clearly going to Xuanzi to demand an explanation... to get an explanation from Shrek Academy for the little girl who almost lost her life in this forest.

Who would have thought that such a powerful and seemingly godlike rising star in the Holy Spirit Cult would go to such lengths for a virtuous woman?

"Although that old man severely injured me, I also gave him a big gift before he left... If he hadn't received timely medical treatment, his eye would most likely have gone completely blind."

Lu Cheng curled his lips into a bright smile.

However, there was still a trace of blood on his white teeth.

"So what now? Take this little girl back to the Holy Spirit Cult?" Crow shook his head, somewhat unable to understand this guy's thought process.

"Do not."

Lu Cheng shook his head.

"Since I invited you here, it must be for another matter."

"What is it?" the crow asked, raising an eyebrow.

"An opportunity, an immense opportunity, consider it my reward for protecting you along the way," Lu Cheng said calmly.

"What do you mean?" The crow narrowed its eyes slightly.

"Ten thousand years ago, seven humans became gods. According to ancient records, most of them had consumed some kind of immortal herb in their early years to improve their physical constitution and enhance their aptitude, which enabled them to achieve godhood."

"You naturally know who I'm talking about. The seven sculptures standing at the entrance of Shrek Academy—for the past ten thousand years, countless forces have searched for the whereabouts of the Immortal Herb Garden, but all have come to nothing."

Lu Cheng gazed in the direction of Sunset Forest and said in a low voice.

“You mean…” The crow’s pupils trembled.

"That's right. After Tang San became a god, he was worried that others would get their hands on it, so he moved the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the Sunset Forest and placed the rare poisonous flower, the Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolutes Flower, on the outside to guard it. Over the years, the Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolutes Flower has no natural enemies and is nourished by the energy in the valley, so it has become wildly prolific and complex, which is why it has the current state of affairs..." Lu Cheng said quietly.

"I'm not curious about your source of information." Crow shook his head, sizing up Lu Cheng: "We're both members of the Holy Spirit Cult. Everyone thinks evil soul masters are ruthless and cunning. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and take this opportunity for myself?"

“You can give it a try…” Lu Cheng said with a light laugh.

"..."

A few seconds later, the crow was the first to look away and calmly asked, "When do we depart?"

"Now," Lu Cheng said.

"Although that poisonous miasma can stop experts at the Title Douluo level, you are at least a peak level 94, close to a Super Douluo. With me in tow, breaking in shouldn't be a problem."

Over the years, many powerful individuals have attempted to enter Sunset Forest, but even those at the Super Douluo level, though they managed to get in, found themselves completely lost and, coerced by the poisonous miasma, dared not linger, and could only leave disappointed.

But his other martial soul is Blood Eye, a pure mental type...

Finding that valley wasn't difficult.

"it is good!"

……

"Elder Xuan, are you alright?"

When Ruomu saw that Xuanzi had returned empty-handed, he was still full of resentment and wanted to say a few words to the old man, which had almost caused them to lose their lives in the forest.

But seeing him covering his eyes, clearly traumatized, and with a terribly gloomy expression, I couldn't help but speak with concern.

"It's alright, I was tricked by that kid." Xuanzi's face twitched. How could he face people after being beaten like this by a kid who hadn't even reached the title level?

However, his anger gradually subsided on the way back, and he began to ponder what Lu Cheng had said earlier.

There are probably some hidden stories behind Lu Cheng's defection back then.

"Le Xuan, you should be fine. Never mind, let's go back to the academy first," Xuanzi waved his hand and said.

The most urgent task is to find Elder Mu and ask him what happened.

and also……

As the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion, how could he keep such an important matter from even him?

That's really unfair of me, Uncle-Master!

……

Sunset Forest.

Over the sky.

The further the group went into the core area, the fewer soul beasts there were. In this huge forest, even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were scarce.

The strongest are nothing more than soul beasts that have existed for a thousand years or a hundred years in a group.

"This Sunset Forest is really a mess," the crow exclaimed.

Zhang Lexuan followed at the back, her beautiful eyes gazing at the figure in front of her. She couldn't help but be a little dazed. It was a familiar and reliable back, tall and giving people a sense of security.

But now... things have changed.

He had already joined the Holy Spirit Cult and had also destroyed one of Elder Xuan's eyes; there was no possibility between them anymore.

“Dispel the poisonous miasma, those guys have found us.” Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

"Alright!" Crow waved his hand.

A dense aura of darkness surged around him.

Chapter 24 Raven: Loyalty!

They transformed into streaks of black crows, surging outwards and carrying a chilling dark power that instantly dispelled the poisonous miasma within a radius of several miles.

"peep!"

Lu Cheng gave a low shout.

In mid-air, a huge blood-red vertical pupil slowly emerged, sweeping across the forest below inch by inch, like the eye of true vision, seeing through all secrets.

"found it!"

A moment later, Lu Cheng opened his eyes and pointed in a direction.
