Ming Wu's Memory Remains, Yang Yu Comprehends the Path of Love, First Source Trial Progress Increases by 10%
Yang Yu followed Elder Hai back to Cloud Firmament City's Soul Master Academy ahead of time.
To completely sever that ill-fated relationship, he could only resort to this measure.
In Yang Yu's heart, this relationship wasn't very deep yet. Even if she regained her memory in the future, it would just be like smoke passing by.
"Village Chief, when will you take me to see my father?"
Yang Yu looked at Elder Hai and asked.
"Young Master, please just call this old servant Elder Hai. Now that my identity is clear, being called that is quite uncomfortable for this old servant."
Yang Yu nodded.
"The leader is currently breaking through by devouring souls and won't be coming out of seclusion for a short time. Even if we go now, we won't be able to see him."
"Why not stay at this academy for now? Once this old servant receives news that the leader has come out of seclusion, I will take the Young Master there."
Yang Yu glanced out the window and nodded.
"Oh right, Elder Hai, what is your current cultivation level?"
"Reporting to Young Master, this old servant's current cultivation is comparable to a ninth-tier two-star Soul Master in this world. It's just that our physique is special and doesn't integrate with this world, so we cannot awaken a soul spirit."
Yang Yu nodded in understanding.
"So that's how it is!"
Now he finally understood why everyone's reaction was so great when he successfully awakened his soul spirit back then.
"Since the Assisted Creation Method can help me successfully awaken my soul spirit, can it help others awaken theirs?"
This thought instantly came to Yang Yu.
"Perhaps I can try it another day."
While Yang Yu was contemplating, it suddenly became noisy outside the Seven Caves.
"Young Master, this old servant will withdraw first. Just call this old servant if you need anything."
Yang Yu nodded. Then, Elder Hai concealed his figure and disappeared into the Seven Caves.
Outside the Seven Caves,
At this moment, a handsome and elegant young man was fighting against a disciple of the Seven Caves.
He looked arrogant and hooked his finger dismissively at the burly disciple of the Seven Caves.
"Go ahead! If I make the first move, you won't have a chance."
"Arrogant! You're asking for a beating!"
Bear's Overbearing Aura!
The burly disciple directly released his soul spirit and used his first skill to attack the young man.
Boom!
The ground exploded, dust flew everywhere, and the figure was gone.
As the dust settled!
The young man stood before everyone, completely unharmed.
"How is this possible?"
"Hmph! A mere first-tier nine-star rookie dares to challenge me!"
"Chirp!"
The young man pointed a finger, not even summoning his soul spirit, and the burly disciple was sent flying back, falling to the ground with a bang, unable to get up.
"Bah! Chicken! What a waste of expression!"
Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile played on his lips as he walked out.
The people from the Seven Caves made way for Yang Yu as he came out.
"Boss!"
"Oh? You're the boss of the Seven Caves?"
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Tian, a second-tier four-star Soul Master from the neighboring Six Caves. According to the academy rules, you should call me Senior Brother."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"After bullying my people, you've become quite arrogant. Who gave you the courage?"
Yang Yu activated his soul spirit, and the pressure of a third-tier two-star Soul Master erupted from within him.
Ye Tian was stunned, but recovered in a moment.
"Just third-tier, it's not like I haven't fought them before!"
"As a genius, challenging those above your level is perfectly normal."
"Oh? Interesting!"
"Then how about you try this punch of mine?"
Then Yang Yu stopped talking nonsense and threw a punch.
Immediately, strong winds raged around, causing the nearby trees and plants to sway wildly.
"Bang!"
Ye Tian retreated several hundred meters, then forced himself to stop. It seemed like he was about to spit out blood, but he forcefully swallowed it back down.
A large ditch appeared before everyone, leaving them shocked.
"Boss is so strong!"
"Hmph, nothing special!"
Ye Tian forcefully maintained his disdain, and Yang Yu burst into laughter.
"Seriously, you can find these kinds of show-offs everywhere."
Another punch blasted out, and Yang Yu attacked again!
"You~"
This time he wasn't so lucky. He fainted directly, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph! Just because you have a protagonist's name, you think you're really the protagonist!"
Yang Yu clapped his hands and turned back to the Seven Caves.
What he didn't know was that this person named Ye Tian was indeed the academy's top genius.
However, even if he knew, what could he do? If anyone dared to challenge him, Yang Yu would break them with a single punch.
For several days in a row, many so-called geniuses came intermittently to challenge Yang Yu, but all were defeated and left.
Yang Yu's reputation spread far and wide.
This day,
A carriage drove into the academy.
Yes, Ming Wu returned to the academy.
She walked directly up to the Seven Caves, meeting Yang Yu halfway but not greeting him.
Yang Yu's heart ached for a moment, but in an instant, he felt relieved.
He returned to his cave as if nothing had happened, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
What he didn't know was that Ming Wu glanced at him with a slight frown.
Three years at the academy passed quickly.
During these three years, Ming Wu never spoke to Yang Yu, as if they didn't know each other.
However, the truth was not like that.
To this day, Ming Wu couldn't understand why Yang Yu had abandoned her back then.
"Didn't we say we were friends?"
Yes, the Nether Race is born with dual divine souls. When Elder Hai cast a spell to remove her memories, he only removed the memories from one of the divine souls.
It was indeed very difficult to understand.
Over the past three years, Ming Wu's resentment towards Yang Yu grew deeper and deeper. Many times she convinced herself to give him another chance to explain, but the opportunity always slipped away.
Yang Yu was like a stranger, not even looking at her.
On the day the graduation ceremony ended,
Ming Wu finally mustered the courage to come forward and question Yang Yu.
Yang Yu looked at Ming Wu with a surprised expression.
"Speak? Why did you abandon me and leave? Without even saying goodbye?"
"What are you saying?"
"Don't play dumb with me!"
"Wuwuwu~ You~ Do you know how I've been these past few years? Huh?"
The grievances accumulated over several years suddenly burst forth!
Ming Wu looked at Yang Yu, tears streaming down her face.
"Speak! Why don't you speak! Wuwuwu~"
Yang Yu still looked at Ming Wu in shock, unable to utter a single word. In reality, he was thinking:
What the heck is going on? Elder Hai? Did your skill fail? Did it really clear her memory?
"Ming... Ming Wu!"
Yang Yu finally spoke to her, and Ming Wu cried even more sadly.
"Wuwuwu~ You~ You liar!"
With that, Ming Wu turned and went back into the Seven Caves. With a bang, the cave door closed.
Yang Yu shook his head, sighed, and then summoned Yang Hai.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Yang Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly at Yang Hai.
"Elder Hai, are you sure there was nothing wrong with your spellcasting?"
Yang Hai carefully recalled every step, every detail, and nodded affirmatively.
"Uh~"
"Elder Hai! You're going to be the death of me. What should I do now?"
"How about this old servant tries again?"
"Get lost!"
"You think there isn't enough trouble already, do you?"
"This... Young Master, this old servant..."
"Alright, alright, you can withdraw! The one who tied the bell must untie it. I'll go!"
"Yes!"
Yang Hai concealed himself again and disappeared.
Yang Yu let out a sigh!
"What a sin! What kind of situation is this!"
"This First Source of mine~"
"Sigh! So be it!"
Yang Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ming Wu, listen to my explanation, I had my reasons."
Ming Wu seemed to have been waiting by the door, as she quickly pulled it open, looking at Yang Yu with a face full of tear streaks.
Yang Yu raised his hand and gently touched her cheek, wiping away her tears, his heart instantly aching.
This was the first time his heart had ached since he was reborn in the Primordial Era.
"Ask the world, what is love?"
Suddenly!
The system voice, which he hadn't heard in a long time, rang out!
[Ding! Detected that the host's original life has comprehended the path of love, Assisted Creation Method automatically assists in comprehension— Comprehending...] [Ding! Congratulations to the host's first origin for completing the true meaning of love, comprehending the path of love, and increasing the trial completion by 10%] [Ding!

(Great Karma Law: One finger points to cause, one finger points to effect, cause and effect cycle determines life and death.)
"Uh~"
Yang Yu was dumbfounded again!
It took him a long while to react.
He saw that Ming Wu had already rushed into his arms, continuously hitting his chest.
Yang Yu no longer hesitated, reaching out and embracing Ming Wu.
"You liar, liar, liar!"
"I'm sorry! Wu'er! I... I was wrong!"
At this moment, Yang Yu completely understood. Since he had already fallen in love, how could he avoid it? The path of love was an indispensable stage in an original life.
If he avoided it, he would ultimately not achieve perfection.
"Thankfully, at the crucial moment, I finally comprehended it. It's still not too late!"
The two held each other for a long time. Ming Wu's sobs stopped, and she looked up at Yang Yu.
"This is the last chance I'm giving you. If there's a next time, I will absolutely not forgive you."
Yang Yu sighed and held Ming Wu tightly in his arms.
"Wu'er, if you never leave me, I will stay with you through life and death."
Then he lowered his head and kissed Ming Wu.
They didn't stop until their breathing became rapid.
At this moment, Yang Yu was very conflicted. He was struggling with whether or not to tell her that he was a member of the horrors from another world, and even her enemy.
"Wu'er, there's something I want to tell you."
"Mmm~"
"But, I'm afraid that after I tell you, we won't be able to stay together through life and death anymore, and might even become enemies."
"Actually, I am..."
Ming Wu was startled. She put a finger to Yang Yu's lips, stopping him from continuing.
"I... I don't want to know! I... I believe you!"
The two just held each other like that until deep into the night...
The night sky was dotted with stars, and the moonlight was enchanting.
Subduing Dragon Village.
"Reporting, Miss! The young master has learned everything from information he somehow obtained!"
"Furthermore, something is very strange. This old servant clearly cast a spell to erase Ming Wu's memory, but her memory did not disappear."
"Oh?"
"What did Yu'er say?"
"The young master said he can handle it himself and hopes we won't interfere!"
Mu Dan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"So be it! Since Yu'er wants to handle it himself, let him!"
"Right, you still need to secretly protect Yu'er and not be negligent! I vaguely sense that the continent's guardian seems to be plotting something!"
"Now, since my husband is in seclusion and hasn't come out, we absolutely cannot relax our vigilance!"
"Arrange for increased guards and monitor the guardian's lineage. Report the situation at any time. After that, you will follow Yu'er!"
"Yes!"
"Okay, go!"
Yang Hai nodded, then disappeared from Subduing Dragon Village.
After arranging everything, he returned to Yang Yu's side.
In the past three years,
Yang Yu's cultivation had skyrocketed. He was now a Rank 4 Nine-Star Soul Master.
He only needed to hunt a soul beast to obtain a soul spirit and officially step into the ranks of high-level Soul Masters.
Ming Wu, however, had fallen behind due to emotional entanglements. She was currently a Rank 2 Nine-Star Soul Master, also just one soul spirit away from advancing to Rank 3.
Yang Yu felt quite helpless about this.
The next day,
The two graduates walked out of the academy and arrived at Cloud Firmament City.
"Brother Yu, where are we going next?"
Yang Yu thought for a moment and replied:
"Let's go hunt soul beasts first. We both need one soul beast soul spirit to advance. We'll make further arrangements after successfully absorbing them!"
Ming Wu nodded obediently.
Then the two left Cloud Firmament City and headed towards the Soul Spirit Forest~
