The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory - Chapter 297 The rat is coming (4.9k)
In such a relatively leisurely life, ten days passed quickly.
During this period, Jing Hongchen also made a special trip to Shrek Academy and brought Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen back to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Originally, when Mr. Xuan suddenly took Yu Tianhuang away from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he was very angry. But later, when he received the news from Mr. Xuan and learned that Mr. Mu had passed away, his anger dissipated a lot.
Although the two sides have different positions, he sincerely respects a top powerhouse like Mr. Mu who stands at the pinnacle of human soul masters. He could understand Mr. Xuan’s idea of taking Yu Tianhuang away to see Mr. Mu off, but it was obviously impossible for him to continue to safely let Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stay in Shrek Academy for exchange and study.
As the saying goes, it is essential to be on guard against others.
As for other students’ exchange studies, they will still follow the originally agreed deadline and will end after seven months.
The rose-gold sunset casts sparkling waves on the clear Poseidon Lake.
Suddenly, a small and exquisite boat shuttled across the lake, breaking the calm. The waves were rolled up and scattered in the air like mist and rain, scattering a dazzling colorful halo.
The milky white boat is located in the center of this colorful halo.
The boat is in the shape of a slender shuttle, with a streamlined structure on the hull and engraved with magnificent and complex patterns, as if carved from jade. The length from beginning to end is about two meters, and the width is only one meter. There is also a white metal mast in the middle of the ship, but the sails on the mast are furled.
Xu Zihuang stood on the bow of the ship and injected soul power through the grooves under his feet. The patterns on the ship’s body also turned into dark blue, somewhat similar to the magic patterns on the whale-like soul beasts. The four six-stage soul-guiding thrusters installed at the stern of the boat ejected blue flames, driving the boat forward at high speed, giving it a feeling of riding the wind and waves.
Ning Tian stood behind Xu Zihuang, hugging Xu Zihuang’s waist tightly from behind, with his long platinum hair raised high. Although part of her hair and clothes were soaked by the rolled up mist, her pretty face was filled with an excited smile.
In fact, it is more like a speedboat than a boat. This is a soul guidance device specially made by Xu Zihuang for his experience in entering the sea. It is equipped with four level six soul guidance thrusters and a special level six soul guidance shield. Although the size of the speedboat is not large, it is a genuine level six soul guide.
The main material of the speedboat is the hardest part of the spine of a thousand-year-old deep-sea demon whale, which has a strong ability to withstand blows.
If the speedboat is wrapped with a level six soul shield, it will not be a problem to withstand attacks from sea soul beasts with a cultivation level of less than 20,000 years. Of course, the prerequisite is not to be hit head-on by that extraordinarily huge sea soul beast.
Because of the material, this speedboat was called the Magic Whale by Xu Zihuang. With his current ability at the soul engineer level, it only took a few days from conception to production.
It is worth mentioning that the main material of the Demonic Whale, that is, the vertebrae taken from a thousand-year-old deep-sea Demonic Whale, was obtained by him from Qian Duoduo, the deputy dean of the Soul Guidance Department.
Soul beasts like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale are not only powerful, but also generally live in deep sea areas. Even if it is a thousand-year-old deep-sea demon whale, few human soul masters dare to hunt it.
The spine of that thousand-year-old deep-sea demon whale is very valuable. It’s not that this is a rare treasure with a sky-high price, it’s just that Dean Qian is stingy.
If Xu Zihuang hadn’t given them the production drawings for the ninth-level custom-made soul cannon some time ago, they probably wouldn’t have let go easily.
Xu Zihuang still remembers Qian Duoduo’s heartbroken expression.
Xu Zihuang controlled the Magic Whale to circle around Poseidon Lake for several weeks. It was not until night approached that he took Ning Tian to stop on the northern shore of Poseidon Island.
There are wooden lofts built along the lake on the east, west and south sides of Poseidon Island, with the exception of the north side. Few people come here, the flowers, trees and various plants are naturally much more lush, and the environment is very quiet.
Ning Tian stepped onto the shore first, his mouth slightly open and his full chest rising and falling. The last ray of sunset on the lake reflected her pretty flowery cheeks.
“Aren’t you having fun yet?” Xu Zihuang put the Magic Whale into the storage soul guide and came to Ning Tian’s side with a smile.
Ning Tian shook his head gently, ignoring the wetness on his clothes, and stretched out his jade arms to put on Xu Zihuang’s shoulders with a smile, tapping his toes.
This is indeed something she has never tried in the past sixteen years, but the most important thing is that the person accompanying her is Yu Tianhuang, that’s all.
After a while, their breaths stopped mixing. Xu Zihuang naturally used his soul power to dry Ning Tian’s clothes and hair, and quietly watched the sunset completely submerge into the western horizon.
“Tianhuang, does Mr. Xuan agree with you to go?” In the night, Ning Tian’s aqua blue eyes were particularly bright.
Xu Zihuang nodded.
“Mr. Xuan agreed. And he also temporarily assigned me a task.”
“Is it the supervisor’s mission?” Ning Tian said subconsciously.
Xu Zihuang said frankly: “It’s not a supervisory mission, it’s about Senior Xiaotao. When the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition ended, Senior Xiaotao went to the far north. In the past, Senior Xiaotao usually went there every six months. He will write a letter to the college to explain his current situation. Now Mr. Xuan and the others have not received a letter from Senior Sister Xiaotao for more than a year. Mr. Xuan and Dean Yan have specially sent people to find them several times. Senior Xiaotao, but they all returned in vain. Before his death, Mr. Mu said that this was the opportunity for Senior Xiaotao, so Mr. Xuan was not too anxious and just asked me to go to the city where Senior Xiaotao sent the last letter to inquire. Here’s the news about Senior Xiaotao. That city happens to be the starting point for my trip to enter the sea. It is located in the northeasternmost city of Dou Ling Empire, Qian Ling City.”
Qianling City has the reputation of being the first city in the Far East on the mainland, bordering the Far North to the north and the sea to the east.
Although geographically speaking, Qianling City is very far north, but due to the influence of ocean currents, the temperature is not particularly low. It has a natural ice-free port, highly developed commerce, and a population of millions. This is very rare in northern cities with harsh environments.
Moreover, in Qianling City, there is also the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, which ranks among the top three in the Dou Ling Empire. Shen Ce, An Lengye, and Fei Yuyan, who were crushed by Xu Zihuang alone in the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, were from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.
“I hope everything is well for Senior Xiaotao.” Ning Tian glanced at Xu Zihuang and then sincerely prayed.
After so many years, the relationship between her and Yu Tianhuang continued to heat up. She no longer felt that Ma Xiaotao could pose a threat to her.
If Ma Xiaotao had interfered in their thoughts, she would not have gone to the far north alone.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Xu Zihuang changed the topic and at the same time took out an iron grill from the storage soul guide.
“Try my craftsmanship today.”
“Yes.” Ning Tian smiled sweetly, his eyes full of expectation, and his sweet heart almost melted. How could she not see the arrogance in Yu Tianhuang’s bones after being with him day and night during his youth? But Yu Tianhuang is willing to do these things for her, which just shows her status in his mind.
Red charcoal fire flickered in their eyes. Ning Tian squatted on the side with his knees together, stretched out his jade hand to support his chin, and outlined a slight arc at the corner of his mouth. There was only the reflection of Xu Zihuang in his eyes.
After a while, the strong fragrance hit me. The whitebait, which is sourced locally, is grilled and sizzling with oil. You can clearly see the delicate and tender garlic meat under the cracked fish skin.
This situation, every expression and word of Yu Tianhuang, as well as the smell of grilled whitebait, etc., are destined to become unforgettable memories for Ning Tian.
At the same time, in the central and northern part of the Sun and Moon Empire, the Jingyang Mountains.
The overall shape of the Jingyang Mountains is like a giant spider, or a giant octopus. The Central Mountain Range covers an extremely vast area, and its eight branches are like eight legs extending in different directions. The branches are coiled and protect the central mountain range.
There are many strong people in the Central Mountain Range, especially Jingyang Peak, which is a forbidden area. The quality of the soul beasts on the branches is lower. The soul beasts living here are generally ten-year or century-old. Those with a thousand-year cultivation level or above are very rare.
The eight branches of the Jingyang Mountains have become the place where most low-level soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire hunt and advance soul beasts.
Soul masters and soul masters are both wealthy people and rarely skimp on food and accommodation. As a result, small towns for rest and recuperation were spawned on the periphery of these branches, in order to make money from the soul masters and soul masters.
In a small town outside the southeastern branch of the Jingyang Mountains, Tang Ya and Beibei, who had come all the way from the Mingdou Forest, took Huo Yuhao to stay at a small hotel in the center of the town.
At this time, the three of them were in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, preparing to have dinner.
“Order! Order! Waiter, order!”
Tang Yajiao smiled and sat back on the wooden chair, her black ponytail behind her swaying from side to side, and she greeted him carelessly. Although several days had passed since she obtained the soul ring of the Thousand-Year Nightmare Piranha and officially advanced to the level of Soul King, the excitement in her heart could not calm down for a long time.
That Thousand-Year-Old Nightmare Piranha actually gave her the power of nightmare poison. Of course, after the soul ring of the Nightmare Piranha was fused with her Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the accompanying soul skills had changed, and were not as powerful as the Nightmare Piranha’s original ability, but after all, the flaws were not concealed.
Beibei joked with a smile.
“Xiaoya, be careful about your image when you go out. Do you want everyone to know that you are a foodie?”
That said, he was actually happier than Tang Ya.
Tianhuang, you have really given me and Xiaoya another huge favor.
Tang Ya snorted, turned away and said coquettishly.
“Why, have I embarrassed you like this? Do you dislike me?”
“I didn’t say that.”
Beibei laughed and shook his head.
“Hmph, can’t I be happy that Tianhuang helped me find such a suitable soul ring?”
Tang Ya chuckled and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting aside with his head lowered and silent.
“Yuhao, do you have anything you want to eat?”
Sixteen-year-old Huo Yuhao is just over 1.7 meters tall, half a head shorter than Tang Ya. Lack of nutrition for a long time during the development stage made him a little thin. It was not until he officially became a soul engineer in the past few years that he made some soul guidance tools and sold them, so he didn’t have to worry about the annual tuition of ten gold soul coins, and the conditions improved. many.
The black hair on the forehead rests on the eyelids, and the dark blue eyes below are vaguely visible. However, his temperament is very gloomy, and the occasional cold light in his eyes is chilling.
“No need, Teacher Xiaoya. Just talk to your senior brother.” Huo Yuhao replied in a hoarse voice, anger welling up in his heart.
Along the way, he couldn’t remember how many times Tang Ya and Beibei mentioned Yu Tianhuang’s name in front of him. Even the soul guide cannon design he designed, Tang Ya handed over to Yu Tianhuang for improvement without his consent.
At this time, there seemed to be countless voices echoing in his mind.
“Yu Tianhuang, Yu Tianhuang, I’m so annoyed!”
“Didn’t you recruit me into the Tang Sect just to take advantage of me? Why are you pretending to be so sanctimonious?!”
“Where were you when I couldn’t afford the tuition? Now when I show my talent with the soul guide, you are pretending to care about me.”
“That’s right. You are the inner court disciples with outstanding talents. How can you spend your energy on soul guidance devices? Do you have to use me?”
“…”
The negative emotions that have built up over the years continue to simmer.
Huo Yuhao’s personality is too extreme, and no one has guided him correctly these years, making it easy for his thoughts to fall to the dark side.
At this moment, a young waiter who looked to be in his twenties came over. The young waiter looked at Tang Ya and Beibei, who were both extraordinary in appearance and temperament, and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Over the years, he has come into contact with and served many soul masters and soul masters, and he was convinced that they must have extraordinary origins.
“Excuse me, what do the guests need?” The young waiter showed a flattering smile, but it was his brief absence that made him stumble. Although he didn’t fall, he hit the table next to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the young waiter coldly. The negative emotions brewing in his heart filled his eyes with violence. The young waiter was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huo Yuhao.
“Yes, I’m sorry, distinguished soul master, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it…”
On the mainland, soul master is undoubtedly the most noble profession. Soul masters are inherently superior to others. If an ordinary person offends a soul master, being beaten up is relatively minor. There are many examples of families being destroyed due to revenge by soul masters. Especially in this small town close to the Jingyang Mountains, there are often soul masters who come out of the Jingyang Mountains. Because these people need to be constantly on guard against attacks by soul beasts in the Jingyang Mountains, they are under tremendous pressure for a long time. Most of them bad temper.
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s eyes, the young waiter really panicked.
Today’s four major empires say they will restrict soul masters, but they often favor soul masters. The nobles need to win over soul masters to consolidate their status, and once a war breaks out, the country also needs soul masters to fight on the front lines.
As long as the soul master profession exists, there will never be absolute fairness. The only ones who truly supervise the evildoings of soul masters are the Shrek Supervisory Team. However, after all, the members of the Shrek Supervisory Team are only the inner disciples and teachers of Shrek Academy, so it is difficult to supervise them.
“Don’t get excited, it’s nothing.” Tang Ya stood up in surprise and pulled up the young waiter.
Beibei’s thoughts were similar to Tang Ya’s, and she sighed.
“It seems that the class conflict between soul masters and ordinary people seems to be more acute in the Sun and Moon Empire.”
After Huo Yuhao was stunned for a short time, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose crazily.
In the past at Shrek Academy, he always lived with low self-esteem. There was nothing he could do, he was surrounded by people with better talents than him.
But now for the first time, he felt the superiority brought by his identity as a soul master. After suppressing it for a long time, he even had the urge to laugh. It made his expression look crazy and twisted.
Yes, no matter how talented he is, he is still a supreme soul master! Born to be nobler than those humble ordinary people!
This incident had a huge impact on his heart. A person needs to go through many hardships to move toward the light, but falling into darkness often only requires a thought or a touch.
Noticing Huo Yuhao’s strange expression, Beibei couldn’t help frowning and shouted in a low voice.
“Yuhao!”
Huo Yuhao was brought back to reality by Beibei’s voice, and he was a little afraid to look directly into Beibei’s eyes.
Tang Ya also turned around blankly.
Beibei took a deep look at Huo Yuhao, and then said to Tang Ya: “Let’s order food first, rest early after dinner, and go help Yuhao hunt and advance the soul beast early tomorrow morning.”
The young waiter tentatively looked at everyone, and stayed on Huo Yuhao for the longest time. Seeing that his eyes had become much calmer, he bravely handed the menu to the three of them respectfully.
No other incidents occurred subsequently. After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
Beibei sent Tang Ya to the door of the room. Before leaving, Tang Ya suddenly pulled Beibei’s wrist and said thoughtfully.
“Beibei, why did I feel something was wrong with Yuhao’s eyes just now?”
Beibei held Tang Ya’s hand with her backhand and smiled gently.
“We’re going to get the soul ring soon, so it’s normal to be a little excited. Your performance before was not much better than Yu Hao’s.”
“Disgusting!” Tang Ya made a face towards Beibei and closed the door pretending to be angry.
As soon as Tang Ya left, Beibei’s eyes became profound.
