Chapter 36: Chicken Leg Xuanzi Went to Catch Chickens (2700 words)
Hearing Wang Dong's words "Students become prey," Beibei suddenly lowered his body and whispered in surprise.
"Junior brother, I heard that Master Xuan is very powerful and domineering."
"With such a powerful elder leading the team, how could students become prey?"
Beibei knows some inside information. Except for his great-great-grandfather Moon, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, among all the elders, Master Xuan's hard power can be said to be the undisputed number one.
If anything is found that could put the students' lives in danger, he thinks Master Xuan would wipe it out in the blink of an eye.
Wang Dong finished a bag of potato chips and then took out a bottle of drink from his storage bracelet. He thought for a while while holding the straw, then raised his eyebrows to signal Mr. Xuan, who was giving a speech on the steps.
"Senior Beibei, this is just my feeling."
Wang Dong expressed his impression of Master Xuan. "Look at that chicken leg teacher; he is drunk; he doesn't look very reliable at all."
Xiao Xiao finished eating potato chips, sucked her fingers, and her eyes flickered a few times. "Listening to what Wang Dong said, it seems to be true."
"I found that the teacher would take two sips of wine every three sentences and take a bite of a chicken leg in the middle. It seems that in the next second, he will be full and drink enough, and I don't know where he will go to sleep."
Beibei listened to what they said, then looked at Master Xuan eating chicken legs and drinking, stroking his chin, and fell into brief thought.
Why did Beibei suddenly feel that Xuanzi had a strange and mysterious power as if he would lead everyone down an incredible road?
An inner courtyard senior with handsome features in the team frowned slightly when he heard what Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao said.
He turned and looked at Wang Dong, his tone containing some instructions for his junior.
"Little brother, the strength of Master Xuan's ability cannot be judged by appearance. Don't be fooled by his sloppy appearance. Maybe his cultivation is so high that you dare not imagine it."
"Dare not imagine it?" Wang Dong thought of his first and second fathers, blinked his beautiful eyes, and said frankly.
"What's there to be afraid of? Has the teacher holding the chicken leg reached the 99th level of Ultimate Douluo?"
The senior from the inner courtyard was stunned, then laughed and said, "Junior, that's not what you think."
"I also know that the theoretical knowledge of soul masters in your first year will cover the specific classification of soul masters, which will inevitably make you, a group of young soul masters, have some fantasies about the highest level of soul masters."
"But the Ultimate Douluo you mentioned is indeed too exaggerated. I'm afraid there are only a few in the entire continent."
As the senior was speaking, his eyes turned to Xuanzi on the steps, his face full of admiration and respect. "And as a disciple of the Shrek Supervisory Group, I have the highest respect for Master Xuan."
"I believe in Master Xuan the most."
The senior was extremely firm in his belief and felt that it was an unparalleled honor to be able to join the Shrek Supervisory Group.
At this time, a woman with a beautiful appearance and graceful temperament walked over.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, with crescent-shaped eyebrows on her pretty face, long hair cascading over her shoulders and a well-tailored Shrek inner court outfit that outlined her tall figure.
However, her beautiful eyes gave people a cold feeling.
It was Zhang Lexuan, the eldest sister in the inner courtyard who had the most say regarding "Master Xuan leading the team to hunt for soul rings."
Zhang Lexuan's face was expressionless, and her eyes stayed on Wang Dong for a moment. "Beibei, what this junior said makes sense; Master Xuan is sometimes prone to negligence."
Beibei and Tang Ya immediately looked at Zhang Lexuan at the familiar voice and stood at attention.
Although Beibei did not explicitly say something about him and Zhang Lexuan, Tang Ya could probably guess that there was a special relationship between the two.
Tang Ya secretly tugged at Beibei's sleeve, a little embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "Beibei, is the senior sister going with us?"
"I can't control this. Usually, as the senior sister, she will participate in most of the tasks that the inner courtyard disciples of Xuan Lao have to complete."
Beibei was also a little unnatural and said to Zhang Lexuan solemnly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. Xiaoya and I will pay extra attention to safety."
"Okay." Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly.
She didn't say anything else; her expression remained cold. As she turned around, the breeze blew by, and she walked to the front of the team calmly.
At this time, Mr. Xuan's safety speech had ended.
He finished the chicken leg in his mouth, threw the bone away, and wiped his hands on his oily clothes.
"Students of the Shrek Supervisory Group, our mission this time is arduous, and it is also an opportunity for you to accumulate experience and hone your character."
Old Xuan burped. "In principle, I should accompany the team for protection, but to achieve a good training effect, I will not take action unless necessary."
Zhang Lexuan, who was standing at the front of the team, frowned slightly, hoping that the situation of "not seeing Old Xuan take action when necessary" would not occur.
Elder Xuan said in a muffled voice, "Of course, if you encounter a crisis that is difficult to resist, you can call out my name 'Elder Xuan' loudly."
"I want to see which villain dares to be presumptuous in front of me, Taotie Douluo!"
Then Elder Xuan took out another chicken leg, bit off a large piece of chicken fiercely, glanced at Zhang Lexuan, chewed, and said vaguely, "Okay, Lexuan, lead the team to set off."
"Okay, Elder Xuan." Zhang Lexuan reorganized the team and told all the students the main task: to go to the Sunset Forest of the Sky Soul Empire to wipe out a not-so-strong evil soul master team and to hunt soul rings for some students.
In this way, the team led by Xuanzi walked towards the gate of Shrek.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao waved goodbye to Tang Ya and Beibei: "Senior Beibei, Senior Tang Ya, please be careful when you go out."
…
In the far north, the Ice Empress sent Huo Yuhao to the edge of the core area.
Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped, released the Chilling Bone Flame from his left hand, and released the purple flame from his right hand.
"Brother Tianmeng, my physical condition has been greatly improved now. My body is more resistant. It is completely different from when I was at the first level. My physical condition has been strengthened exponentially."
"It's time to conduct that experiment... What do you think, Brother Tianmeng?"
When Tianmeng Ice Silkworm saw Huo Yuhao releasing two kinds of flames at the same time, he was startled. Although he had already guessed it in his heart, he still asked with a trembling body.
"Which experiment?" Huo Yuhao raised his lips slightly, making the serious matter sound very light. "It is to fuse these two kinds of flames. I heard that a beast martial soul and a weapon martial soul can have martial soul fusion skills, so my two kinds of flames should be fused. Besides, I am not afraid that someone will disturb me in the core area of the Far North. It happens to be a good place for experiments." Xue Di immediately appeared in mental mimicry, frowning. She did not persuade Huo Yuhao but only told him the risks of this action.
"This wisp of white flame must be the Chilling Bone Flame. As expected, its cold attribute is stronger than this emperor's."
"Although the fire attribute of the other wisp of purple flame is not as strong as this, if it is used as a fuse to ignite the extreme heat and cold attributes of the Chilling Bone Flame, there is a danger of exploding and dying."
The Ice Empress was immediately anxious and quickly clamped Huo Yuhao's wrist with pliers to persuade him.
"Yuhao, don't you have anything to worry about? Think about Senior Yi, Xue Di, and Tian Meng. If you explode and die, they will all die with you."
"It doesn't matter if you are not afraid of death, but Xue Di and I are. We have finally caught the opportunity for eternal life. Xue Di and I don't want to..."
"Bing'er, Bing'er." Xue Di felt that being said to be afraid of death somewhat damaged the dignity of the Emperor of the Far North, so she hurriedly called out twice.
Before Bingdi finished speaking, Xuedi spoke in a leisurely manner, lifting her delicate chin with her slender fingers, and said something nonchalantly.
"Bing'er, I'm not that afraid of death. Let Yuhao experiment."
Bingdi was silent for a few seconds and asked Electrolux, "Old Master Yi, what do you think?"
Electrolux said, "Yuhao, your bold idea is better than my idea of experimenting with the forbidden spell of the dead when I was young."
"It's even better than that."
There was an indescribable meaning in Old Master Yi's words, full of emotion but also a bit of appreciation.
Upon hearing this, Bingdi slowly put down the pliers that were clamped on Huo Yuhao's wrist. Anyone could hear that Elder Yi was not inclined to persuade Huo Yuhao.
After a short silence, Electrolux said slowly, "Yuhao, let's try it."
"Since you came up with this crazy idea last time, I know it's impossible to suppress it."
"If you don't put it into practice, it will undoubtedly cling to your heart like a demon, and you won't be able to get through it."
Bingdi and the others had no intention of stopping or refuting it.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, "Thank you all for your spiritual support."
The Ice Empress knocked the ground with two large pincers. "Senior Yi, Snow Empress, Tianmeng, you are all supporting me with your lives."
"Anyway, I haven't merged with you yet. If you fail, I will transform."
Snow Empress hugged her shoulders and looked sideways. "Yuhao, you start."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transformed into a quilt and wrapped itself up like pajamas. "I dare not watch. Tell me when Yuhao succeeds."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, stretched his hands forward a certain distance, and stared at the two flames of different colors in his hands.
Everyone became nervous as they watched the two dark white and purple flames gradually move toward the center.
Xue Di's eyelashes trembled slightly, Tian Meng curled up in his pajamas and his whole body was trembling, and Bing Di's two pincers were squeaking against each other.
Electrolux seemed to be stroking his beard calmly, but if you looked closely, you could see that the beard around his mouth was slightly curled up.
"The fire lotus for peace is about to take shape." Huo Yuhao's eyes flowed with a light golden halo. Under the gaze of his spiritual eyes, the dark white flame and the purple flame slowly began to come into contact.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao immediately mobilized his mental strength and accurately controlled the fusion of the power of the two flames.
"Boom!"
The moment the two flames came into contact, a thunderous sound was heard, and the energy flowing in the arms became extremely violent.
Energy surged, and the flesh and blood on Huo Yuhao's arms burst. His skin was torn apart, and the bones could be seen. He immediately activated the Seal of Life to heal and reorganize his arms.
Continuously bursting and reorganizing...
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress could only call out "Yuhao" worriedly and, together with Tian Meng, mobilized a little original power to help him protect his internal organs and veins.
Huo Yuhao endured the severe pain without making a sound. He stared at the flames merging between his hands with his glowing eyes. When he pressed his hands together, a strange ball of flame gradually formed.
There was a dark white flame lingering on the left and a purple flame lingering on the right.
Huo Yuhao practiced the Flame Mantra, and the two flames alternated, compressed and closed until a certain critical point.
Finally, the flames that were originally extremely violent became quiet after they were completely integrated.
Electrolux felt relieved, and his beard stopped twitching. Under the surprised gazes of Snow Empress and Ice Empress, a white and purple lotus seat formed between Huo Yuhao's hands.
Huo Yuhao smiled and looked at the trembling Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wrapped in pajamas, and informed him, "Brother Tianmeng, it's successful."
Then he introduced, "Elder Yi, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress, this is the product of the fusion of the two flames, called Angry Buddha Lotus Flame."
Several people came over and looked at the white and purple flame lotus seat, praising it as being a truly exquisite little gadget.
Melting into an Angry Buddha Lotus Flame consumes a lot of soul power and mental power. In the whole process, four-fifths of the soul power and mental power are consumed.
Then, in everyone's anticipation, Huo Yuhao tried out the power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.
A white and purple flaming lotus quietly passed through the sky, melting all the snowflakes along the arc path and then expanding several meters above the ground.
Boom——
With a loud bang, a huge snow pit was left in the core area of the Far North, which the Soul Sect could not create even with all their strength.
Huo Yuhao then made some grilled fish, ate two of them himself, and left the rest for Bingdi. She took one fish in each of her two big claws and took turns biting them.
At the Ice Empress's reminder to "remember to come early," Huo Yuhao nodded and did not let the Ice Empress send him off but walked towards the outskirts of the Far North.
"Yuhao, I'll take you to the place where I lived a long time ago."
"As the ancestor of that group of ice silkworms, I was able to blend in with the ferocious beasts by disguising myself when they were not yet born. Therefore, I can see through the disguises of all ice silkworms. I'll help you pick one with a suitable age to be your second soul ring."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, "Brother Tianmeng, they are ice silkworms, and you are also an ice silkworm. If you become a soul, can you use your consciousness to condense a second soul ring with a simulated soul skill?"
...
A few days later.
On the outskirts of Sunset Forest, on a small forest path.
With the help of Electrolux, Huo Yuhao successfully transformed the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm into a soul and possessed the second ring of simulated soul skills. His figure flashed on the forest path.
"Exploding Steps!"
After Huo Yuhao merged with the Snow Empress, the endurance of his arms and legs was greatly improved, and he was able to use the Octane Blast more easily.
Similarly, the explosive steps of physical combat skills awarded previously have also been mastered.
To improve his proficiency in Exploding Step, Huo Yuhao did not choose to take the main road or official road back to Heaven Dou City but chose a small path along the periphery of Sunset Forest.
After practicing the explosive step for a while, Huo Yuhao filled his stomach with grilled fish.
High above, a sloppy old man, drinking wine and eating chicken legs, with tattered clothes covered in oil stains, was flying leisurely.
It was Xuanzi.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Xuanzi's slightly closed eyes as if he saw something delicious.
"A 25,000-year-old chicken soul beast?! The chicken legs of this beast are delicious when roasted!"
So Xuanzi rushed far away and ran to catch the chicken.
