Brother Sky Dream, Become a Soul Engineer

Brother Sky Dream, Become a Soul Engineer

"At last, I'm back in the Sun Moon Empire."

Xiao Qiang spent half an hour beating Wang Xiaodong into minced flesh, then divided his corpse into fifteen portions, burying them in different places or tossing them into rivers to feed the fish. This virtually eliminated any possibility of him coming back alive to seek out Xiao Qiang.

If he could still come back to take revenge on Xiao Qiang after that, then there was nothing Xiao Qiang could do. After all, if someone could return even after being reduced to dust and ashes, what else could Xiao Qiang possibly do?

He had done everything he could. If this plane insisted on bringing him back to life again and again to cause trouble, then Xiao Qiang truly had no other solution.

Do what one could and leave the rest to fate. If hundreds of lightning bolts suddenly struck your head the moment you stepped outside, what could you do besides wait for death?

Even if you locked yourself inside a Faraday Cage, an earthquake could still bury you alive. That was no longer a problem Xiao Qiang could solve.

"Brother Sky Dream, take a look and see which of these things can benefit me."

After returning to the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Qiang finally felt somewhat at ease. He took out the Soul Tool weapon he had obtained from Yang Peng. With a thread of Soul Power injected into it, Xiao Qiang removed everything stored inside.

"Let me see. Birch heartwood, greenwood sap, wisteria, two-thousand-year Nether Wolf soul beast meat, a Beast Blood Fruit that's only a thousand years old, and several thousand Gold Soul Coins from your human world. Hmm..."

"This Soul Emperor was way too poor! At least he should've had something mysterious or hard to identify! What kind of junk is all this?" Tian Meng grumbled.

"Alright, Brother Sky Dream. Soul Emperors can be poor too. The important thing now is whether these things are useful to me. And how should I use them to maximize their value?"

Xiao Qiang did not particularly care that the Soul Emperor he had killed had failed to drop anything especially good. He was not a Son of Destiny like Huo Yuhao. Since he did not have the fate of a protagonist, it was clearly unrealistic to expect a Soul Emperor he had killed casually to drop a pile of valuable items.

Xiao Qiang had long been prepared for this. From the beginning, he had planned to settle for the guaranteed minimum. That was precisely why he had not immediately opened the Storage Soul Tool belonging to that Shrek Soul Emperor.

After all, Xiao Qiang had a pretty good idea of what equipment it might yield. He had not expected much from the start, so he would not be disappointed.

"They're useful, though none of them are particularly good. To a six-ring Soul Emperor, they would basically only serve as supplementary aids to cultivation. But fortunately, you're not a Soul Emperor yet. You're only a three-ring Soul Elder."

"Later, use the Heaven Swallowing Divine Art I created to devour them. Raising your Soul Power by one level in a short time won't be a problem. With the remaining benefits as well, in around two months, your Soul Power should be able to reach level thirty-four."

"Damn it! A dignified six-ring Soul Emperor only had this much stuff in his Storage Soul Tool! What the hell had he been doing all these years?" Tian Meng grumbled, clearly dissatisfied with the meager loot Yang Peng had dropped.

"Alright, Brother Sky Dream. It's good enough that there was something. He was only a Soul Emperor, after all. How many resources could an ordinary Soul Emperor have? And how many could he carry around with him? It's not like he would bring his entire fortune with him just to wait for someone else to rob him."

Xiao Qiang spoke indifferently. This Shrek Soul Emperor had been an accident to begin with. It was already good enough that he could provide some help, at least making Xiao Qiang's advancement somewhat easier.

Originally, it would have taken less than a year for him to raise his Soul Power by eight levels. Now, the time had not changed much, but he only needed to raise it by seven levels. The difficulty had already dropped considerably.

"What you said makes sense, but I was forced to use my origin power and only got this little in return. I'm still unhappy."

"Don't be angry, Brother Sky Dream."

Xiao Qiang comforted the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. In the original story, after Tian Meng had used his Sky Dream Finger to freeze Ma Xiaotao, the final result had merely been Huo Yuhao receiving a Soul Ascension Pill from Shrek Academy that could raise a Soul Elder's Soul Power by one level.

Now, he had likewise obtained something that could raise his Soul Power by one level. He did not have Wang Dong on his side, but he also did not have that crazy woman Ma Xiaotao. He did not need to worry about getting a life-threatening beating after freezing Ma Xiaotao. Overall, he had not lost out.

"Right, forget that, Brother Sky Dream. What's done is done. Let's make use of these things first. Tell me the best way to eat them."

"Oh, just roast the two-thousand-year Nether Wolf meat. Of course, you can make hot pot with it if you want, or prepare it however else you like. The meat itself is already frozen, so there isn't much that can be lost."

"You can eat the birch heartwood, greenwood sap, and wisteria directly. They don't contain much energy. The key is that Beast Blood Fruit. Although it's only a Beast Blood Fruit rather than a Dragon Blood Fruit, that's the main prize among these items. When you eat it, you need to pay attention to..."

One day later, relying on the equipment Yang Peng had dropped before his death, Xiao Qiang successfully advanced from a level thirty-two Soul Elder to a level thirty-three Soul Elder.

"Thank you for nature's bounty." Xiao Qiang pressed his palms together. He now truly understood the joy of using medicine to increase one's strength.

"Hm? What did you say?" Tian Meng, who had just been about to go back to sleep, was baffled when he heard Xiao Qiang's words. He did not understand what Xiao Qiang meant. Why had he suddenly brought up nature?

"Nothing. Don't mind it, Brother Sky Dream. I just said it casually. It's nothing important."

"Oh, then I'll sleep first. Wake me when it's time to eat."

"Alright."

After Xiao Qiang agreed, Tian Meng immediately lay down and fell asleep in Xiao Qiang's sea of consciousness without the slightest pause. Xiao Qiang was extremely envious of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's incredible ability to sleep.

After the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell asleep, Xiao Qiang made preparations to head for the imperial capital. He bought many books needed by Soul Engineers, then boarded a Soul Guide Train bound for Mingde Hall.

On the Soul Guide Train, Xiao Qiang and Tian Meng ate hot pot together. Of course, they did not sing, nor were they suddenly robbed by bandits.

When Tian Meng had eaten his fill and was preparing to sleep, Xiao Qiang stopped him and began considering the next step of his plan.

"Brother Sky Dream, don't rush off to sleep. I suddenly thought of something."

"Hm? Is it about what we're having for dinner? Just decide that yourself. I trust your taste, but be careful. Don't make it so spicy next time. I don't really like spicy food."

Xiao Qiang: "..."

"Brother Sky Dream, it's not about food. I'm thinking about something else."

"What is it?"

"Brother Sky Dream, how about you become a Soul Engineer?"

"Oh, got it. Then I'll become one like you said... What?"
