Douluo Continent: The Descent of the Gods, Chapter 240: Educating My Sister-in-Law "Ding... Soul Ring Matching Successful."
Accompanied by the System's mechanical voice, five brilliant golden Soul Ring began to pulsate around Zhou Chen's body again, and his Soul Power was restored to level 60.
Raising his left hand, Zhou Chen spread his five fingers and then clenched them tightly, causing a loud popping sound to echo in the carriage!
"You've recovered?"
Yu Tianmeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Chen was only Soul King, his actual combat strength was at least equivalent to a Super Douluo of level 95 or above.
Once he recovers, his safety on the road will be guaranteed.
"Um."
Zhou Chen let out a sigh of relief and nodded.
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's affirmative answer, Yu Tianmeng couldn't help but be secretly astonished.
He was knocked unconscious for seven days by the Sea God's clone, but he recovered quickly upon waking up. The power of spending money is indeed strong.
"Let Tian Ling stop. We won't go back to Heaven Dou City. Let's continue to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Zhou Chen reached out and embraced Yu Tianmeng's delicate body, whispering.
"Good."
Yu Tianmeng agreed and was about to tell Yu Tianling when the carriage stopped by itself.
Immediately afterwards, a soft knock came from the carriage door, and Yu Tianling's clear, cold voice Youyou out:
"Sister, brother-in-law, something seems wrong. There's a village ahead, but it's eerily quiet. And there are plumes of black smoke rising from that village, like there's a fire."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen and Yu Tianmeng exchanged a glance, and then Zhou Chen said, "Let's go down and take a look."
As they spoke, the two opened the carriage door, got off the carriage, and looked ahead.
About six or seven miles away from them, there was a small mountain village.
The village didn't look very big, and it was surrounded by large fields of farmland. Just as Yu Tianling said, the sky above the village was already full of thick smoke, which meant that the village was on fire, and it was a big fire.
However, despite the huge fire, the entire village was eerily quiet; no one cried out, and no one tried to put out the fire.
Even in the vast expanse of golden farmland next to the village, there wasn't a single person.
"Could it be that someone found out my brother-in-law was seriously injured and set up an ambush ahead?"
Yu Tianling frowned slightly and made a self-righteous guess.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng glanced at her silly younger sister, pointed to the billowing black smoke, and said helplessly, "Tian Ling, have you ever seen someone who sets up an ambush set up a signal fire before doing so? Is this a kind reminder because they're afraid we'll fall into an ambush?"
"Oh, that makes sense."
Yu Tianling nodded. Assassins who lay in ambush must catch their target off guard. This blatant arson didn't seem like something an assassin would do; it looked more like something a bandit would do.
"No need to guess, let me see."
With a thought, Zhou Chen's golden Second Soul Ring suddenly rose from beneath his feet, activating the Heavenly Vision Earthly Hearing Technique.
The next moment, golden light condensed in Zhou Chen's eyes, and the distance of six or seven miles instantly closed.
After just one glance, Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly. He said, "They must have been wiped out by bandits. The village is littered with corpses, and blood is flowing like a stream. Judging from the fact that the bloodstains haven't dried yet, it must have happened recently."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianling glanced at Zhou Chen with surprise in her beautiful eyes, thinking to herself, "You can see this far away?"
Is your Martial Soul a telescope?
"Let's go take a look."
Zhou Chen spoke softly, and his third Soul Ring rose slowly from beneath his feet. (Xuanshu Literature Network)
The next moment, he reached out and embraced the slender waists of the twin sisters Yu Tianmeng and Yu Tianling. Amid Yu Tianling's exclamation, a flash of light appeared, and he transformed into a golden ray, shooting towards the village.
In just a few breaths, before Yu Tianling's exclamation had even stopped, the three figures appeared in the village.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Yu Tianling's pretty face turned bright red as she stared at Zhou Chen with shame and indignation.
Is it okay to touch a girl's waist without permission?
However, in addition to feeling ashamed and angry, she was also extremely shocked.
This was the first time she had seen Zhou Chen use the Ground Shrinking Golden Light. It was hard to imagine that a Soul Master in his teens could be so fast!
It was as fast as lightning!
Even a Title Douluo's speed is probably no more than this!
"Tian Ling, I'm sorry, I acted in a moment of panic just now."
Zhou Chen apologized sincerely, his expression so upright that it made Yu Tianling feel a little embarrassed.
Only Yu Tianmeng knew Zhou Chen's true nature. She glared at him fiercely but said nothing. Instead, she looked around at the situation in the village.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianmeng's expression immediately turned sour.
The entire village was littered with corpses; the ground was stained crimson with blood. Many were naked, their limbs mutilated, their internal organs spilling out. Several spears even stood on the ground, each impaling a small body. The stench of blood was almost palpable...
Yu Tianmeng was a little better off, after all, she was a transmigrator, so she was naturally more adaptable, and she had also killed people and been baptized by slaughter and blood.
But Yu Tianling was completely stunned when she saw this scene.
From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever seen such a bloody scene?
Instantly, her face turned as pale as paper, and her chest heaved as if she were enduring something.
The next moment, she couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly lunged to the corner of a nearby farmhouse, where she vomited violently.
Seeing this, Yu Tianmeng was about to help her younger sister up when Zhou Chen stopped her.
Zhou Chen said calmly, "As Soul Master, one is destined to undergo the baptism of blood. Flowers grown in a greenhouse are always prone to withering. Can your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family protect her at all times?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng nodded silently and stepped back.
The two watched each other until Yu Tianling had almost vomited everything in her stomach and was about to collapse to the ground, at which point Yu Tianmeng went over to support her.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I've brought shame to the family."
Yu Tianling's face remained pale as she lowered her head and whispered.
After all, as a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master, if he vomits like this upon seeing some corpses, what will become of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's reputation?
Hearing this, before Yu Tianmeng could answer, Zhou Chen comforted her, "Tian Ling, this is just a normal reaction for ordinary people when they see a bloody scene. There's no need to blame yourself."
"Only,"
At this point, Zhou Chen changed the subject, saying, "Soul Master are the most powerful tools of violence in the Douluo Continent, and they are bound to participate in all kinds of life-and-death battles. As a Soul Master, if you cannot overcome this reaction, it may be detrimental to your future."
"I understand, thank you, brother-in-law."
Yu Tianling nodded gently, her gaze towards Zhou Chen now filled with affection and gratitude.
There's no need for us to be so polite.
Zhou Chen smiled sincerely, and was about to say a few more heartwarming words to Yu Tianling when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a corner of the village.
This made his eyes freeze instantly!
Because there lay a strangely shaped corpse!
