Two Years, Su Yue's Changes
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Two young figures were walking through the woods on the outskirts of the Spirit Mountain Range.
Compared to two years ago, Su Cheng hasn't changed much.
He has just grown taller, and his face is no longer as childish as before; his facial features are now more defined and distinct.
Beside him, Su Yue's appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Her once pretty short silver hair had long since grown to waist length without her noticing. Whenever a gentle breeze blew through the forest, the silver strands of hair would flutter in the wind, like silky crystals, shimmering in the light filtering through the leaves, exuding a unique and dazzling texture.
Standing nearly 1.8 meters tall, he was almost half a head taller than Su Cheng, who was not yet fifteen. His tight-fitting white clothes, perfect for combat, perfectly outlined his fully developed figure. His long, straight legs moved forward with light steps.
Her face remained as indifferent and pretty as ever, and she looked more mature than Su Cheng, probably around sixteen years old.
Her eyebrows and eyes had long lost their former childish innocence, and her large, round eyes had become mature and alluring. Only her purple pupils remained as clear and pure as ever, untouched by any impurities, like a deep, unfathomable pool.
Now, she has regained some of the captivating charm she possessed when she first transformed into her appearance before Su Cheng, before she had even begun to rebuild her cultivation.
The reason for this change is quite simple.
In the past two short years, Su Yue's cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds, rapidly advancing from One-Ring Soul Master to Five-Ring Soul King, realizing much of the potential of Silver Dragon King.
However, at this point, her leveling speed has slowed down considerably.
The amount of Soul Power required to advance to a higher level increases dramatically, and the massive amount of energy that was once sealed within the Martial Soul can no longer be replenished as quickly as before.
This is not necessarily a bad thing; it allows her to control her power more naturally.
For Su Yue, whether it takes three or five years to cultivate or ten or twenty years, it doesn't make much difference; they are just tiny time spans.
However, if you are unwilling to spend more time building a solid foundation at the lower levels, you will inevitably have to spend several times more effort to make up for it when you reach higher levels.
In the past two years, Su Cheng and Su Yue have traveled to many places.
At first, they mainly traveled around to broaden their horizons.
Until a little over a year ago, when Su Yue acquired her Third Soul Ring and advanced to Soul Elder, her life was no longer just about experiencing local customs and culture, but began a daily routine of combat and training.
From Sunset Forest to the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest, and then to the Northernmost Land and the vast sea, she has fought against many powerful ten-thousand-year-old wild Soul Beast, as well as Soul Master in the Soul Arena.
This is to accelerate the familiarity with and control of power.
Of course, during this period, it is inevitable that one will encounter danger or even get injured.
But with Su Cheng's protection, they won't encounter any real major crisis.
In addition, Su Cheng did not neglect to investigate the intelligence. He secretly observed Tang Hao and his son Tang San, and also went to the Blue Silver Grass Forest, but unfortunately he did not find any trace of Ah Yin, nor did he detect the existence of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
However, in the Blue Silver Grass Forest, he warned the Blue Silver King once not to let Tang San awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul in the future.
Whether the other party will break the agreement is not within his consideration.
He wouldn't kill the Blue Silver King for such a possibility.
Su Cheng has changed quite a bit in his way of doing things.
In the past, his strength was weak, and in order to ensure success, he had to put in some effort and means to eliminate all potential dangers.
But as his skills improved, he also gained more leeway and was able to tolerate similar situations.
In contrast, these "old friends" are more worthy of our appreciation.
The two were fast on their feet, and before long, the tall and magnificent Spirit City came into view.
Su Cheng glanced at Su Yue walking beside him and reminded her, "Alright, stop being so vain. Hide your hair and eye color. We're almost there."
Besides the changes in appearance and height, and the fact that his words and actions were becoming more and more like those of a real human, Su Cheng also noticed that this guy seemed to have become much more vain than before.
Basically, unless necessary, she rarely conceals her very distinctive hair and eye color, and always likes to show off her silver hair and purple eyes.
Su Yue ignored him, as if she hadn't heard his voice, and continued walking forward in silence.
"..." Seeing this, Su Cheng could only add helplessly, "Sister."
Upon hearing this address, Su Yue subtly curled the corners of her lips before reverting to her original appearance of black hair and black eyes.
Although she had simply changed the color of her hair and eyes, it was as if a precious gem had been covered in dust, instantly diminishing her appearance and overall charm.
Her facial features were still exquisitely sculpted, but the overwhelming, lawless beauty she once possessed was gone.
Looking at Su Yue after her transformation, Su Cheng felt a subtle sense of loss, but mostly he felt relieved.
He had to admit that even he felt a bit of pressure in front of Su Yue.
Before this, he had never imagined that someone could bring a strange sense of oppression to others simply by their appearance.
The girl looked up at the towering city in the distance and said calmly, "I know this place."
Su Cheng was not surprised to hear this and nodded slightly, "Yes, the strongest human force on the continent, with more than ten Titled Douluo alone."
"No, that's not what I meant." Su Yue's eyes held a slightly strange look. "Actually, before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was born, the Fate Power of Douluo Star was concentrated in Spirit City. But not the one in front of us. Spirit City wasn't built in this place back then."
Su Cheng turned to look at the other person in surprise.
This was a statement he had never expected.
After a moment's thought, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the Fate Power? Why do I feel like you know so much about it?"
In the past, Su Cheng only had a vague and general idea in his mind.
He understood that things like fate, destiny, and fortune were fundamentally different, but he couldn't really distinguish the specific differences.
For example, the Shrek Seven Devils, led by Tang San, always manage to turn misfortune into good fortune and have a constant stream of opportunities.
The protagonist's circumstances cannot be explained simply by luck or talent.
And then there's the real self, who also carries certain missions.
Then look at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the Star Dou Great Forest, it seems to represent another situation.
Understanding this issue would be of great benefit to him. At the very least, it would make identifying those Life-Bound Child of Destiny much easier.
