Spiritual Appraisal
"Lu Yixin has been arrested and publicly tried!"
Li Jiangqi had been hiding among the crowd watching the trial and witnessed the entire process of Lu Yixin's trial, which can be described in one word:
Miserable!
Now, when the villagers of Holy Soul Village are harvesting rice, the Worker-Peasant Council has also dispatched Militia Patrol Team to conduct regular patrols to prevent anyone from setting fire to the fields again.
"More importantly, Zhou Qing also established a new rule: outside Soul Master who want to travel in this area must obtain Identity Card!"
Huo Zhanji didn't care about this at all; his only thought was to rescue Lu Yixin first.
We must not abandon our comrades!
Where is Lu Yixin being held now?
"Over there at the Worker-Peasant Council, there's a force established by Zhou Qing and Tang San," Li Jiangqi said. "Moreover, I also saw a Spirit Rhyme Turtle, and the plants growing on its shell looked like Golden Ancient Tree."
Are you sure?
Now, not only Huo Zhanji, but the other four also widened their eyes.
What is the Golden Ancient Tree?
The evolved form of the Ancient Tree of Life!
That's the core of Shrek City, and the Core of Life of the entire Douluo Star! In their era, the Golden Ancient Tree had already evolved into the Eternal Tree!
In theory, there is only one Golden Ancient Tree on the Douluo Continent.
Could it be that in the official history, the Golden Ancient Tree originally grew on a Spirit Rhyme Turtle?
Everyone fell silent.
After all, in the history they knew, there was no detailed description of how Shrek Academy obtained the Golden Ancient Tree. It was only said that Tang San, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils and the Sea God Tang San, transplanted it to the Shrek Academy to repay the academy for its nurturing.
Yuan En Xing Tian said, "I once heard a rumor that the key to the Ancient Tree of Life evolving into the Golden Ancient Tree is that it needs a massive amount of life energy to form a corresponding cycle. If the Ancient Tree of Life were to grow on its own, it would take at least a million years. However, if other Life could integrate into it and accelerate the completion of this cycle, the Ancient Tree of Life could evolve into the Golden Ancient Tree ahead of time..."
Huo Zhanji had actually heard of this claim before. It was a conspiracy theory fabricated by some people in their era. The mainstream theory was that the Ancient Tree of Life was possessed by Sea God Tang San's mother, the legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, from the very beginning. The entire Douluo Star had always been under the control of the Sea God San family!
"Are you sure that the Golden Ancient Tree is growing on that Spirit Rhyme Turtle?" Zhang Hengrui asked.
"In history class, the history teacher introduced us to the differences between the Ancient Tree of Life, the Golden Ancient Tree, and the Eternal Tree. I can't be mistaken."
Li Jiangqi said seriously, "That Golden Ancient Tree is still very young. It should have completed the initial fusion with the Spirit Rhyme Turtle at the beginning of its growth. Therefore, it may have skipped the stage of the Ancient Tree of Life and evolved directly into Golden Ancient Tree in the budding stage. If it is pulled out, it may degenerate into Ancient Tree of Life..."
Huo Zhanji wasn't particularly interested in the transformation of the Golden Ancient Tree, and simply said, "Let's put that aside for now. The important thing is that there's a Golden Ancient Tree here!"
During the mission, items from the mission world can be brought back to their original time and space. If they can obtain this Golden Ancient Tree, whether they use it for themselves, sell it, or hand it over, it will generate a lot of value.
Furthermore, if they cultivate it well, they might find an uninhabited Planet in the future, and with this Golden Ancient Tree, they could potentially transform it into a plane full of Heaven and Earth Energy.
Lu Yixin?
For the time being, these six people have already forgotten about it.
After all, there is a protection mechanism in place. Even though this mechanism seems to have some problems now, it can at least keep him from dying.
Therefore, Huo Zhanji devised a plan:
Zhang Hengrui went to steal the Identity Card of other Soul Master, Chai Jiazhe and Li Jiangqi went to the Worker-Peasant Council to cause trouble and attract attention, while Yuan En Xing Tian took the opportunity to kill the Spirit Rhyme Turtle and pull the Golden Ancient Tree off its back.
Should we take the entire Spirit Rhyme Turtle back with us?
That's unrealistic.
Will the Golden Ancient Tree degenerate into Ancient Tree of Life as a result?
Uncertain.
But Huo Zhanji was certain that this thing would not die so easily.
The final owner of the Body Martial Soul was actually responsible for rescuing Lu Yixin —although he wouldn't die, they would feel bad if Lu Yixin suffered.
"Okay, let's go with this plan."
Yuan En Xing Tian clapped her hands and said, "Without the Golden Ancient Tree, they will definitely lose their composure, and our chances of completing the mission will increase even more."
"What's the plan? Tell me about it, shall we?"
Who are you?
Yuan En Xing Tian turned her head and was slapped away, crashing into three trees as thick as a person and falling to the ground, unable to move.
Due to Dugu Bo's sudden attack, she didn't even have time to circulate her Soul Power and strengthen her physical functions, and she fainted in a very quick and decisive manner.
"Huh?"
Dugu Bo examined the back of his hand and said in surprise, "Interesting. It actually gave me a slight feeling of recoil. Is it some kind of Soul Tool for self-defense?"
After chatting with Zhou Qing, he was assigned to work by Zhou Qing.
Arrest a few juniors...
Originally, Dugu Bo was unwilling, but he couldn't resist the temptation to eat someone else's food, so he had no choice but to come and bully the weak—it seems that he himself didn't care about bullying the weak.
That's alright then.
Huo Zhanji, Chai Jiazhe, Li Jiangqi, and Zhang Hengrui quickly retreated, but Dugu Bo took a step that covered dozens of meters, arriving beside Yuan En Xing Tian. He slowly raised his ankle, and his loud voice boomed in their ears, making their heads buzz. They lost control of their bodies and fell to the ground, saying, "If you run again, I'll stomp this girl to death!"
Huo Zhanji shook his head, glanced at Yuan En Xing Tian, and then cast a Spiritual Appraisal skill at Dugu Bo.
"Snort!"
However, the moment his Spiritual Power touched Poison Douluo, it was met with a backlash that caused blood to spill from Huo Zhanji's eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth.
The Spiritual Appraisal skills have failed once again!
The information provided only included phrases such as "green robe, handsome appearance, young man, extremely powerful Soul Power".
Huo Zhanji pale with shock.
It's important to know that his Spiritual Appraisal skill is actually related to the Douluo World behind him. Therefore, when appraising items and people, he can read out the names of things and people. This skill can collect relevant information within a small range and allow the Douluo World to analyze and organize it.
However, the person in front of me couldn't even be identified by name, and I still suffered such a significant backlash.
Could he be a powerhouse Level 100+?
The reason why Huo Zhanji couldn't identify it was simple: Dugu Bo had already opened up his Inner Scenery World, forming a Three-Dimensional Space within his body that was parallel to and independent of Douluo Star. Naturally, Huo Zhanji's Spiritual Appraisal skills couldn't detect it, and he couldn't even capture a single bit of information.
Without information, even if the computing power of the Douluo World behind him is powerful, it will be difficult to make a difference. This skill can only provide corresponding information based on the cognitive memories in Huo Zhanji's brain.
Pity--
Huo Zhanji had never seen Dugu Bo, who looked like a young man, in any textbooks, nor did he know what methods the other party had. All he could obtain was the physical information he could see with his own eyes.
