Wei Lin: I Get to Go Wild for Once Too
Shui Wuyue rubbed her brow.
She felt as though she and her companion lived in a different era from the people across from them.
She knew every word they said, but put together, they made no sense.
But... what kind of Soul Beast would require a Titled Douluo to personally lead the team?
Shui Wuyue looked at Huang Tianyi. This woman was definitely a Titled Douluo, and no ordinary one at that.
He had a feeling that if he fought him, he would probably die a miserable death.
"May I ask what this senior's title is...?"
"Ashen Annihilation."
Huang Tianyi had always kept her words brief with strangers, unless they were particularly strong, in which case she might say a few more.
But Shui Wuyue and her companion certainly weren't among them.
"Ashen Annihilation..."
By now, Shui Wuyue had practically turned her brain inside out, yet she still couldn't find anyone with that title.
It seemed they were from a reclusive family. She just didn't know which one.
"City Lord Shui, Dean Shui, we've made ourselves very clear. We only came to Skywater City to restock our supplies and experience the local customs while we're here. That's not asking too much, is it?"
"We judged gentlemen by our own petty standards. I hope you and Senior Ashen Annihilation can forgive us, Young Master. How about this? Our Shui Family will cover all your expenses in Skywater City as an apology."
"Our Shui Family often visits the Far North as well. If you need a guide, Sister Yun'er is at level eighty-two and can be of some help."
"Then thank you, City Lord Shui, Dean Shui. If we need anything, we'll let you know."
Wei Lin rose and cupped his fists.
"My two little sisters are still out shopping in Skywater City, so I'll go look after the kids. Farewell."
"Yun'er, see the young master out."
Shui Yun'er nodded.
"This way, Young Master."
After Wei Lin left.
Shui Wuyue's expression darkened slightly.
Just who were they? Why did it feel as though she had woken up to find the skies over Douluo Continent had changed?
"Where should Skywater City go from here?"
Spirit Hall's ambitions were known to all, and Skywater had no Titled Douluo.
Sigh... I'll take things one step at a time.
Skywater Inn.
Wei Lin had just hung up his coat when a koala came pouncing at him.
"Brother! I bought so, so many tasty things today! Come eat with me!"
Wei Lin finally managed to pry Qingyu off himself and casually tossed her toward the trash can.
Whoosh! Bang!
A direct hit on the center of the door!
"Brother!"
An exasperated voice rang out behind him, and Wei Lin quickened his pace.
The Eternal Night Time Falcon was in the Temporal Ice Crevice. To get there, they would probably have to cross the Far North.
A straight line was the shortest distance between two points.
"Honestly, couldn't the system just teleport me straight there? Why did it have to make me go Trailblaze there before I can set up a teleportation point?"
With how chaotic that place is, I doubt even an ordinary Titled Douluo could get close.
"Heh, why am I worrying so much? It's one of our own... our own beasts, anyway. There's no need to worry about this and that."
Wei Lin pulled up the quilt.
Sleep, sleep. Tomorrow is another day.
Midnight...
"Lu Rongrong! I'll say it again! Stop crawling into my bed in the middle of the night!"
"Ehe~"
Early the next morning, Wei Lin and his six companions set off to hunt for Soul Rings.
Beyond Skywater City, farther north, lay the Far North.
"Brother, the Far North really is so white."
Qingfeng looked at everything ahead of her. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but snow.
"That's only natural. Given where the Far North is, the ice and snow covering it all year round have hindered human development. This place is a paradise for ice-type Soul Beasts."
Before Wei Lin had finished speaking, a fist-sized snowball came flying at them.
Danger! Wei Lin reached out and grabbed Qingfeng by the back of her collar. Under her astonished gaze, he pulled her in front of himself as a shield.
"Bang!"
The snowball burst, leaving traces of snow all over Qingfeng's little face.
The culprit was rolling on the ground with laughter.
Qingfeng: "..."
The little girl looked up resentfully at her brother behind her.
Her gaze was thirty percent sorrow, thirty percent disbelief, thirty percent grievance, and ten percent anger.
It was a pie chart come to life.
"Ahem, an accident, an accident. Mainly, I didn't sense any danger."
Qingfeng said nothing, merely squatting on the ground and drawing circles in the snow in sorrow.
Sure enough, when there was danger, her brother was the safest person around. When there was no danger, he was the most dangerous.
But...
Her Past Shadow Martial Soul flashed into view, and Qingfeng grabbed the snowball she had just circled and hurled it at... the space to Qingyu's right.
Qingyu seemed to have been prepared. She promptly sidestepped right into the snowball's path.
"?"
Qingyu was confused. Qingyu turned into a loot box.
"Pfft!"
Qingfeng's shoulders shook with laughter.
The snowball fight that followed was simple. Using Past Shadow to foresee the future, Qingfeng pinpointed the future trajectory of every snowball Qingyu threw.
At the same time, she pinpointed every direction Qingyu would dodge.
The result was that Qingyu was buried under snow with only half her head sticking out, questioning her life choices.
She's cheating! How am I supposed to play against that?!
When would strength-type Soul Masters like them finally get to carry?
"All right, you two, stop fooling around. We're going deeper in."
At the mention of serious business, the two little ones put their playful thoughts aside.
"Sister Huang, if you faced the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, would you have a chance of winning?"
"Seventy-thirty in my favor, even if all three of them joined forces."
Hearing her answer, Wei Lin wore an unbridled grin.
He looked into the depths of the Far North. If Sister Huang had said so, what was there for him to think about? He just had to trust her unconditionally.
"Sister Huang."
"Hmm?"
"My super wisdom tells me it's time to use your super strength."
A fierce fighting spirit flashed in Huang Tianyi's eyes. It was about time.
Fire-attribute Soul Masters had a certain violent streak in their nature, and the Ashen Annihilation Vermilion Bird was especially known for Destruction. She had been itching for this for ages!
"Xuan Zhen, An Jiao, protect the young master and the other two. If they lose so much as a hair, I'll tear down your residences."
Xuan Zhen's Heaven-Shaking Shield appeared behind him. Rather than a disc, it looked more like an eight trigrams formation.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red, red.
Nine Soul Rings flashed in succession, and eight trigrams patterns appeared on Wei Lin and the two girls. Layer upon layer of shields flickered around them.
"Sister Huang, just let loose. I'm here."
Huang Tianyi had great faith in her colleague. His defense operated on the level of laws; there was probably no one in this world yet born who could break through it.
"Then I won't hold back!"
"Screech!"
A phoenix's cry rang throughout the Far North, and a suit of fiery red battle armor appeared on her body.
Four-Word Battle Armor, Flame Phoenix Ashen Feathers.
This was the true might of Tianshu's strongest combatant!
At the same time, the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North looked toward the sound. How could they have failed to sense those fierce flames?
"It seems we have an uninvited guest."
