Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Chapter 478 Soul Restriction

The talent - Tyranny of the Ruler - doesn't make the injury disappear, but rather causes the injury to reappear instantly after the skill's duration ends.

After the battle, his body had been torn to pieces by the Source Heavenly Lu Demon. Although Lonely Rock could rewind time, now that the danger had passed, Jolyne did not intend to use Lonely Rock to heal.

To improve one's martial arts skills, the process of physical injury and recovery is crucial. The strength of time reversal lies in its ability to reverse time, but the problem is that after time reversal, the battle is essentially wasted, and the physical body returns to the state before the battle. So, apart from memories, who can gain growth from a non-existent experience?

Use skills when necessary in battle, but it's best to wait for your body to heal itself unless absolutely necessary. Keep in mind that skills can be maxed out with Paradise Coins, but talents and bloodlines can only be developed by yourself. The talents on your player panel are still in their early stages.

"Human-faced dog, bring her up."

Jolyne beckoned to the hound, needing to investigate the nature of this enemy.

Before long, the Yuantianlumo, which was hanging on the fishing rod, was brought in front of Jolyne by the human-faced dog. Seawater dripped down her black hair. The Yuantianlumo spat out a mouthful of seawater and stared intently at Jolyne.

Her flawless golden body shattered completely, and her martial arts realm dropped to the second level.

There was also a faint line around her neck, which was the result of Pochi-chan using Lonely Rock to separate her head from her body. It can be said that Pochi-chan's Stand ability still has some of the power of [Steel Chain Fingers]. Genten Lumo is now powerless to resist.

Yuan Tianlu Mo understood this very well. She dared to accept the commission because she believed she could succeed, and she was unwilling to retreat because she was confident of winning in the end. Now, no matter what happened before she lost consciousness, she had already lost. Yuan Tianlu Mo didn't want to die, so she said it directly.

"As you said, I have indeed become cannon fodder used by Yin Yang Road to test your territory."

But the people from Yin Yang Road are still there. In fact, the 'wrongfully killed ghost' I mentioned was a player sent by Yin Yang Road to hand over the mission to me.

My mission was to deliver your body and the Black Grail to them.

Therefore, I still have value to you. I will lead you to the people of the Yin-Yang Road, making you a guide in the story, someone who is captivated by the general's charisma.

These words were simple and direct, and Yuan Tianlu Mo's calm face was soon met with a slap.

There was a "pop" sound!

Bloodstains appeared on her delicate face. Seeing Yuan Tianlu's indifferent expression, Hanako-chan immediately slapped her again with a fierce expression, fully demonstrating her lackey's initiative, and said: "A general in reality would not accept the surrender of an executioner, let alone your surrender is only to save your life."

"Precisely because you are trying to save your lives, you don't need to worry about me secretly digging a pit for you."

Yuan Tianlu ignored Hanako, "Our battle is nothing more than a tangled web of fate. As the defeated party, you can naturally choose to kill me directly, but why not be more rational and consider the greater interests?"

Interests are the strongest contract in the world, and needs are the most sincere vows.

I can tell you with certainty that Yin Yang Road is planning a major operation in this world. Before I came here, I noticed that those bastards were excessively familiar with this world. You really picked a good game world.

I need to live.

The great Darwin needed a bloody hunt to put a colon on the destruction of the Yin-Yang Road.

Then,

Why didn't you keep me a little longer? I'd just rot in the mud sooner or later anyway.

She deliberately dragged out the word "great," concealing her sharpness within a humble self-deprecation.

Kanroji Mitsuri looked around and noticed that everyone's expressions had changed. Logically speaking, killing the Yin-Yang Road in the shadows should be the top priority, otherwise no one would be able to sleep peacefully in the future. As for this assassin, it was fine to use him as bait for a few days. The most important thing was that it didn't really matter whether they agreed now or not, because they could just kill him after they had used him. They were pirates, after all. Why should they talk about integrity with dead people?

Jolyne asked the same question, “The torture of tearing the heart apart is quite painful. Aren’t you afraid that I will drain you of all your intelligence value and then regret it and kill you?”

The "wrongfully killed ghost" mentioned by Yuan Tianlu Mo is the prey she used to deceive Paradise. It is not surprising that the prey is actually a person from Yin Yang Road, because Yin Yang Road is not the same as Liu Fu.

Liu Fu is like a vulture; he didn't even know who his prey was before he started the chase. He just barged in with a hunting tool and got eliminated, making people wonder if he'd lost his mind. Did he really think he was some big shot who dared to come and hunt without even asking questions?

The Yin-Yang Road is a pride of lions, and they certainly don't lack more advanced hunting tools. The pursuer doesn't necessarily have to kill the pursued; they can also "reconcile" under certain conditions and use more power to dismember a target that has already been targeted.

Killing an S-class is no small matter. Since Yin Yang Road has decided to do it, there is no longer any explanation that "we were just joking to scare you". Now Yuan Tianlu Mo says that Yin Yang Road has big plans in the One Piece world.

"A feeling of impending storm..."

Jolyne frowned.

No matter how strong the wind and rain, it doesn't matter. He has already decided to wade into the muddy waters and, as Yuan Tianlu Mo said, wipe out all their personnel and arrangements in the pirate world, using this as the starting point to destroy the Yin-Yang Road.

Yuan Tianlu Mo: "I had no choice."

She knew, of course, that Xu Lun could still kill her at will after he had used her, but if she wasn't used, she would be dead now. Yuan Tianlu Mo glanced at everyone on the ship, and while she jokingly said that she would rot in the mud, she didn't intend to just give up and wait to die. While she still had value, Yuan Tianlu Mo believed that she would definitely find a way to save herself.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Xu Lun say something.

No, you still have a choice.

You can choose to die now, or you can choose to do everything you can to live.

Bochi-chan is an unqualified musician, and Shizuka Marikawa is also an unqualified doctor. Jolyne patted away Shizuka's softness that was blocking the sunlight, got up and approached Genten Lumo's head. She thought to herself, what kind of choice is this? But her life is in his hands, so she can only keep her mouth shut.

"Your only leverage in supporting these two options is that we can't read your memories."

Xu Lun's simple words gave Yuan Tianlu Mo a bad feeling. Her head, which had been swaying in the sea breeze while hanging on the fishing line, stopped moving. She looked at the star-colored finger and her heart tightened.

"The prerequisite for survival is that you have to make sure that your memories will not be brought up by others."

With a slight exertion, Xu Lun pierced Yuan Xu's side of the head. The fact that Saeko Busujima couldn't handle the restriction didn't mean he wouldn't dare to take a look.

Chapter 479 The Seven Swordsmen of Red Cat and Water Rabbit

Within the spiritual sea of ​​Yuan Tianlu Mo, a phantom white dragon was asleep. Its mountain-like body, like a cat, protected the iceberg of its heart in the center. It did not resemble a means of secrecy used by some evil organization; rather, it gave the illusion of a heaven-defying inheritance from a Dao Ancestor of the Upper Realm.

Because this white dragon looks so beautiful.

Yes, beautiful.

The dragon's whiskers dipped into the water, creating ripples. Its pure white scales resembled a gauze skirt. Its slender body combined the divinity of an Eastern dragon with the ferocity of a Western dragon. In particular, its eyes, shaped like lilac petals, gave the impression of being potential takeoff material even before they were fully open.

"Is this the effect of the Charisma attribute? Even though the version has been updated, is that right?"

Xu Lun complained that once he takes office, he should choose a suitable path to start climbing. He already has some interesting ideas about this. It can be said that the Martial God Body has benefited from the version bonus and is about to receive a major buff to gradually realize its invincible potential.

[Sea of ​​Spirit] is a specific term. Yuan Tianlu's spiritual power is not that strong. This sea of ​​spirit, which is dyed silver, is only the size of a stream. The iceberg in the very center is Yuan Tianlu's mind. To browse or even modify memories, one needs to go to that [Mind Iceberg] to carry out an invasion. Ordinary mental scream-type skills only disturb the sea of ​​spirit.

With that white dragon present, Saeko Busujima naturally wouldn't dare to invade casually. Otherwise, if her soul were damaged by the high-level power within this restriction, even if her guardian spirit could be resurrected, it would still cause considerable trouble, not to mention that some curses would follow their host for life.

Jolyne was not worried about that.

After all, he has the workshop to protect his soul, so it wouldn't hurt to use his soul to investigate.

Looking at the beautiful white dragon, Jolyne found herself feeling a little itchy, but the problem was that this white dragon was clearly not the real one. If she could be affected by it, one could imagine how high the level of the real one was.

Hmm... that unlucky kid Yuan Tianlu Mo doesn't seem like the destined goddess with an old man on her body at all.

With the help of the [Abyssal Servant], Jolyne reached out and touched the white dragon's forehead. Before he could get close, a vast spiritual force attacked him. Unfortunately, this was meaningless to Jolyne. His palm desecrated the dragon's body without any deviation. The white dragon's eyelids twitched, and its soul was dragged away by the restriction and began to fall.

Unlike the scene when I went to see Capricorn, the scenery around me changed in the blink of an eye.

It was a spacious room, the rising mist giving the soul a refreshing feeling. Colorful books were scattered haphazardly, among which were some strange works that exuded a living, spiritual aura. Jolyne, who had arrived here, looked around and then looked down with interest at the man in front of her who was clearly the owner of this place.

The man in the white shirt was casually flipping through a comic book.

Two seconds later, he looked up and stared in astonishment at Jolyne who had appeared before him.

Who are you???

"Guess," Xu Lun replied casually, snatching his comic book away. He discovered that the comic book was called "The Seven Swordsmen of Red Cat and Water Rabbit," and was immediately surprised to find that the content was completely different from the cartoon he remembered. One of the Seven Swordsmen, the Purple Cloud Sword Master, had been killed, and the protagonist, Water Rabbit, was even playing both sides between Red Cat and Gray Tiger.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

Chen Jijiu raised his finger and tapped the table lightly. A circle of white lines spread in all directions, turning into chains that bound Xu Lun's soul. The Chen family was a prominent clan that inherited the soul system. He really didn't expect that someone would dare to use their soul to [daytime travel] in front of him. It was like a lamb willingly jumping into an oven!

More importantly, this visitor's soul clearly did not reach the third realm of [Yang Soul and Yin Spirit], so how did he get here?

He intended to take down the Soul Searcher directly, but unexpectedly, the Soul Lock couldn't be pierced. Chen Jijiu immediately realized that something was protecting this person's soul, and he immediately guessed in his heart which family this person belonged to.

The thin comic book was quickly flipped to the bottom, and the plot had just reached the point where Water Rabbit's actions were exposed, and she was forced to the cliff by Gray Tiger and Red Cat. Xu Lun flipped the book back again and closed it, asking the man in front of her, "Where is the second volume of the Seven Heroes of Red Cat and Water Rabbit? The plot is stuck before we know what Water Rabbit will choose."

There is no second volume.

Chen Jijiu didn't explain. He took the comic book back and put it aside. Then he suddenly remembered another reader who had appeared not long ago, and his eyes suddenly held a different kind of emotion when he looked at Xu Lun.

However, he didn't say much and ignored Jolyne to continue working, which left Jolyne completely confused about what the restriction was and what kind of place it had led him to.

Judging from this person's initial surprise, it shouldn't be a memory, which is an illusory existence.

In reality, this means that his current situation is the same as when he was transferred to the divine kingdom by Capricorn; he doesn't know where he has crossed space to arrive at.

What's the deal with that white dragon?

Joren couldn't say he was curious; he could only say that Yuan Tianlu was on his ship, and if he didn't figure out her background, it would be troublesome to deal with her when he got back.

Hmm...maybe the death of Yuan Tianlu Mo was also a trap prepared for him by Yin Yang Road?

Although it sounds a bit like paranoia, from this perspective, it's not entirely impossible that Yuan Tianlu Mo is a self-destructing bomb.

Since he ignored her presence, Jolyne went straight to rummage through the things on his desk.

A calendar.

The above shows: Gregorian calendar year 672.

This is the calendar of the main world. From the moment Jolyne transmigrated to this world, he discovered that this world did not use the Gregorian calendar.

However, since the Ming Dynasty had not yet fallen, he only regarded it as a butterfly effect. Now he realized that the first year of the new calendar was probably when Paradise first descended upon the main world, and there were indeed many important events in the first year of the new calendar.

Leaving that aside for now, Jolyne has confirmed where she has arrived through these means.

"...Bai Yujing."

Joren went to see his work, and it turned out to be the exam questions from June of this year.

"Wait, you're not worried about me leaking the questions if you don't stop me from doing something this important?"

"I've already stopped them."

Chen Jijiu said emotionlessly that Xu Lun inexplicably saw the shadow of Nakano Maruo in him, just like that kind of career-oriented person with an unhappy family.

"That's true. Then let me get straight to the point. Do you know a player named Yuan Tian Lu Mo? She committed a serious crime and is waiting to be redeemed."

Jolyne added, "The 'lu' in 'lu dan' (卤蛋, braised egg)."

Chen Jijiu remained silent for a moment before coldly staring at Xu Lun and speaking.

"Tell the robbers that killing is fine, but they absolutely cannot touch her memories."

Chapter 480 Baiyujing Chen Family

"if not?"

The man had clearly figured out that Jolyne had arrived here by breaking the seal, and breaking the seal meant that she could freely traverse the mind iceberg and examine the secrets guarded by the white dragon.

"They will be hunted down to death by the Chen family."

Chen Jijiu spoke frankly, but then felt that such a tone might cause a rebellious attitude, so he looked at Xu Lun seriously and explained in detail: "Although the Chen family of Baiyujing cannot be considered a top family, it is not a problem for them to bring out two seventh-level experts."

Jolyne: "..."

Good heavens, in a sense, Yuan Tianlu Mo really is a suicide bomber prepared by Yin Yang Road.

Just two seventh-realm experts?

Has the player base in Baiyujing become as competitive as the candidates in the imperial examination?

The four evil gods in [Black Network] are just ordinary sixth realm beings who have fallen from the seventh realm. The standard for judging a first-class power in Japan is whether there are seventh realm beings in the organization. In other words, Kanoko's true realm should not have exceeded the seventh realm.

The Chen family is considered a first-rate power.

Chen Jijiu narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know why he couldn't control this person's soul, conventional psychological methods were scientific knowledge. By simply observing Xu Lun's emotional changes, he had already verified his conjecture that "this person did not know the Chen family's background."

So where did this guy come from?

Jolyne was driving [Disguise], the thick black fog obscuring her figure and making it impossible for others to see her face.

This skill was a skill book he got from Red A's treasure chest. He originally intended to hide his real name, but the effect of hiding a player's nickname was not much different from being exposed directly. Fortunately, [Disguise] can at least be used to conceal his appearance in this situation, so that people won't be able to find Neon Chiba directly using technological means.

"This is the Hanlin Academy. You can go and choose a book to take with you later."

Chen Jijiu changed the subject, offering benefits and handing Xu Lun a black pen.

Jolyne asked, "...What is this?"

Regardless of the Chen family's strength, he had no intention of provoking them. After all, they were not a shady organization like Yin Yang Road; on the contrary, they were the most violent legal organization in Asia.
