Lin Qing placed the Gold of Life on the broken wooden table beside him.
As soon as the metal left his hand, that warm and cool sensation weakened significantly, but a faint aura still emanated from it.
“I still can’t completely achieve Fusion with the Gold of Life, but using it to assist my Cultivation should be no problem.” He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
He began to circulate the most basic Meditation Technique.
Sure enough.
When the Gold of Life was placed beside him, his meditation efficiency improved noticeably.
His concentration was more focused, and the circulation of his Soul Power became smoother.
Even the speed at which he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi had increased significantly.
“Good stuff!” After confirming the effects of the Gold of Life, Lin Qing planned to rely on it to raise his Mental Energy first.
A ten thousand year spirit ring requires powerful Mental Energy to resist Soul Shock, and a hundred thousand year spirit ring has even higher requirements.
For the sake of the future, he had to plan ahead.
…
At the same time.
The edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A little girl with a scorpion braid was cautiously walking out of the dense forest.
She looked to be six or seven years old.
Her pink dress was somewhat damaged, and her small face was stained with mud, but those large eyes were strikingly bright.
Agile, cunning, and carrying a hint of hard-to-detect vigilance.
Her name was Xiao Wu.
She was a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bones Rabbit transformed Spirit Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Leaving the forest this time was to go to the human World; transformed Spirit Beasts can only grow and become stronger quickly by being tainted with the aura of humans.
She did this only to seek revenge in the human World for her mother, who was killed by human Spirit Masters.
“The human World…” Xiao Wu stood at the edge of the forest, gazing at the faintly visible outlines of a village in the distance.
Her gaze was complex.
There was curiosity, expectation, and deep-seated hatred.
Just as she was about to step forward, Boom!!!
“Xiao Wu!
He is Tang San’s father!
He is a Titled Douluo!
He is rearing you to be Tang San’s spirit ring!!!” A shrill male voice exploded in her mind without warning!
The voice was filled with despair and anger.
!!!
Xiao Wu’s whole body stiffened, and her face instantly turned pale.
Titled Douluo!
These few words made her blood run cold!
As a transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, she was most aware of her own situation.
Before reaching the Maturity Stage, her Spirit Beast aura would be seen through at a glance by a Titled Douluo.
Once her identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast was exposed, she might fall into an endless pursuit.
In fact, after transforming, she was as weak as an ordinary human child, possessing none of the power of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast; everything was equivalent to starting from zero.
At this time, let alone a Titled Douluo, even a Spirit Grandmaster or Spirit Elder could easily slaughter her.
A Titled Douluo was an existence she absolutely could not contend with at this stage!
“Who?” Xiao Wu looked around tremblingly.
The dense forest was quiet, with only the rustling of wind blowing through the leaves.
There was no one, not even a Spirit Beast; she was the only one standing here.
Where did that voice just now come from?
She didn’t know, and she couldn’t figure it out.
But those words, those warnings, were already deeply branded into her mind.
Tang San, Titled Douluo, rearing…
spirit ring…
Every word made her shudder.
“Tang San…” Xiao Wu murmured the name, her eyes filled with fear and vigilance.
She remembered it, firmly remembered it!
…
For the next month.
Lin Qing stayed in his broken wooden shack in Emperor Soul Village, hardly ever leaving the house.
Except for Er Ni coming every day to deliver food, he saw no one, staying cooped up in the room to Cultivate desperately.
With the assistance of the Gold of Life, his Mental Energy improved with startling speed.
His Mental Energy grew every day, and his Soul Power was also steadily improving.
And every time Er Ni came to deliver food, Lin Qing would have her stay in the room for a while longer, sitting right next to the Gold of Life.
Long-term exposure to the life aura emitted by the Gold of Life also had great benefits for the body.
At the very least, it could strengthen the body and prolong life.
“Little Qing, you seem to be in a great hurry lately?” This evening, as Er Ni was delivering food, she finally couldn’t help but ask.
She sat on a broken wooden stool watching Lin Qing, who was meditating, her eyes full of worry.
Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, and Er Ni’s concerned face warmed his heart.
“Sister Er Ni, as a Spirit Master, being one step slow means being slow at every step; being one step fast means being fast at every step.
I have to be the fast one.” Sigh, the key is that being in the same era as Tang San, he had to be fast.
Before long, the Douluo Continent would fall into chaos, with Bibi Dong’s evil plan to destroy everything, Tang San and the others becoming gods…
and so on.
Under the weight of these pressures, he naturally couldn’t afford to be leisurely.
…
Nuoding Academy.
The annual Recruitment Day.
The academy entrance was crowded with children and parents from various villages, making it extraordinarily lively.
Xiao Wu stood in the crowd, somewhat absent-minded.
She hadn’t had a good month.
That voice in her head, those warnings, were like a nightmare haunting her.
Who is Tang San?
Who is Tang San’s father?
Where are they?
Has she already been targeted?
Countless questions weighed on her so heavily she could hardly breathe.
But she still came to Nuoding Academy because this was a very remote city and the place she could most easily blend in.
“Next!” The teacher in charge of testing shouted loudly.
Xiao Wu snapped back to reality and stepped forward, being admitted without any suspense.
But there was no joy on Xiao Wu’s face; she walked into the academy with a heavy heart, wandering aimlessly on the stone path.
Just as she was lost in thought.
“Tang San?
Innate Full Soul Power with a Blue Silver Grass Trash Spirit?
Fraud!
Get out, get out, get out!” A rough male voice came from not far away.
“Tang San?!” Xiao Wu’s whole body stiffened.
Her neck turned slowly towards the direction of the voice, as if it were rusted.
The main gate of the academy.
A black-haired youth dressed in simple blue clothes was standing there, his face dark and his eyes filled with resentment.
In his hand, he still held a pale blue grass.
“Is he…
Tang San?” Xiao Wu’s pupils suddenly constricted, and her heart began to race.
The Tang San that voice spoke of is this youth?
And Tang San’s father…
is a Titled Douluo?!
That Titled Douluo is rearing her to be Tang San’s spirit ring?
Boom!
All the clues were connected at this moment.
Xiao Wu’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.
She wanted to flee.
Immediately, right now, flee from this place!
Flee from this youth named Tang San!
Flee from that Titled Douluo father who might be hiding in the shadows!
But…
she didn’t dare.
If that Titled Douluo was really watching from the shadows, if she turned and ran now, would she be caught immediately and truly be reared, waiting to become Tang San’s spirit ring in the future?
…
Xiao Wu stood there, as if plunged into an ice cellar, her whole body cold.
She felt the World before her eyes suddenly lose its color, becoming gray and hopeless.
The excitement and expectation of coming to the human World vanished at this moment.
Leaving only…
endless fear.
“Mama…
what should I do?” For the first time, Xiao Wu felt an emotion called confusion.
