Race Around Sea God Island
After lunch, Zhou Huan spent some more time having tea with Zhang Lexuan, and didn't leave Zhang Lexuan's house until around 3 p. m.
Sea God Island still seemed rather deserted, and Zhou Huan had no intention of wandering around. Just as he was about to return to the Outer Court by the same route, two familiar figures approached him.
Among them, a petite and delicate little girl exclaimed in slight surprise, "Huh? Zhou Huan, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Huan smiled and said, "What, is it strange that I'm here?"
The little girl from Shrek was naturally Xiao Xiao. Hearing Zhou Huan's question, Xiao Xiao asked in confusion, "Of course it's strange, you haven't even entered the Inner Court yet. Uh, no, are you here for the Sea God Island assessment?"
Actually, it's no wonder Xiao Xiao was surprised. Although she knew that Zhou Huan had known the Senior Disciple Sister of the Inner Court for a long time, she never thought that the two had such a good relationship. Zhang Lexuan even gave him a token that allowed him to come to Sea God Island at any time.
As for Zhou Huan, it's even less likely that he would go around talking about his relationship with Zhang Lexuan. Even Xiao Xiao and the other two don't know the specifics.
Therefore, Zhou Huan simply replied, "If it's not the Inner Court assessment, how could it be so quick? I have some questions about Martial Soul Research and need to find an expert to confirm them, so I've come to trouble Sister Lexuan."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao naturally had no doubts. "Is that so? That makes sense. Senior Disciple Sister is a kind and gentle person, and she's also very strong. Going to her is definitely the right thing to do, and besides, you already know Senior Disciple Sister."
In response, Zhou Huan could only say that this little girl's comprehension skills were absolutely top-notch; he didn't need to explain anything further.
At this moment, Wang Dong, who was standing next to Xiao Xiao, suddenly said, "Zhou Huan, it's rare to see you in the Inner Court. Let's have a spar. It seems like we've never had a one-on-one fight before."
Uh... what's wrong with this guy? He wants to fight someone without even having a one-on-one fight?
Besides, it seems like we haven't seen each other for over half a year, and the first thing we do is start a fight?
Sorry, Brother Zhou isn't interested.
Therefore, Zhou Huan decisively shook his head and said, "No."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong hurriedly asked, "Why? It was just a casual sparring match!"
Zhou Huan replied matter-of-factly, "How can a Soul Ancestor like me fight a Soul King like you? I don't have any masochistic tendencies."
Now, nearly nine months have passed since he entered Fifth Year, and Zhou Huan has raised his surface Soul Power Level to the initial stage of level forty-nine, which is in line with his cultivation progress.
As for Wang Dong's Soul Power Level, Zhou Huan guessed it was probably around level 55.
Although Zhou Huan felt that even if he only used level 49 Soul Power to fight Wang Dong, who was level 55, he wouldn't be afraid.
But there's no need for that.
Fighting is definitely not a problem, but I'm a little worried. What if it triggers some of the restrictions that God King Tang left in Wang Dong's body?
He didn't want to be noticed by God King Tang right now.
Moreover, who knows how many unknown contingency plans God King Tang left for Wang Dong?
Zhou Huan felt there was absolutely no need to crash into it.
Faced with Zhou Huan's refusal, Wang Dong seemed even more determined. "You were able to defeat Xiao Hongchen, a Soul King and Level Five Soul Engineer, last year. How could you not be confident in fighting me? Just in terms of Soul Power Level, I'm not even as good as Xiao Hongchen."
However, Zhou Huan shook his head. "How can that be the same? I beat Xiao Hongchen; that was a victory of intellect. Do you think you're dumber than Xiao Hongchen?"
Wang Dong: "... No, we absolutely have to fight, right here."
Hearing this, Zhou Huan was speechless. Had this Godly Second Generation been possessed by a demon today? Why was he picking on me? We weren't even that close.
So Zhou Huan had no choice but to turn her attention to Xiao Xiao, hoping that this little girl could hold her friend back.
At this point, Wang Dong should have told Xiao Xiao that she was a girl, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have been traveling together so intimately.
Seeing Zhou Huan's gaze, Xiao Xiao patted her head and said helplessly, "It's not that she necessarily wants to fight with you, but the teacher said that if she wants to ask for leave to see the class monitor, she can only do so if she can keep up with your speed. That way, we can feel at ease letting her go to the Sun Moon Empire. If she encounters danger along the way and can't win, she can still run away. She was going to see you tomorrow anyway, and now we've run into each other, haven't we? Wang Dong wants to go to class..."
Before Xiao Xiao could finish speaking, Wang Dong covered her mouth, and her devastatingly handsome face quickly turned red.
Zhou Huan: "..."
So, I became an escape test machine?
Sighing inwardly, Zhou Huan thought, things are still going in this direction. But isn't it a bit premature for Wang Dong to go find Huo Gua now?
Based on the original trajectory, Wang Dong should have gone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a few months before Huo Gua returned from his studies abroad.
It will still be more than a year before Huo Gua and his group of overseas students return.
Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "Why don't you wait two more months until the holidays? By then, you won't need the college's approval to go, right?"
Regarding Wang Dong's safety, Zhou Huan stated that only God King Tang could kill Wang Dong.
However, Wang Dong looked dejected. "It's vacation time, I have to go home. My family won't agree to me going to the Sun Moon Empire."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan almost rolled her eyes. Those two bastards, Da Ming Er Ming, could possibly control you? You just want to see your Yu Hao brother as soon as possible, right?
Zhou Huan thought about it and realized that Wang Dong was actually a pitiful person too.
Even if Tang Wutong regains Wang Dong's memories in the future, will Tang Wutong really be Wang Dong?
Zhou Huan absolutely disagrees with this.
If you divide a person's soul into two parts, seal their memories, allow them to grow independently, and then eventually merge them back together, then who is this newly pieced-together Tang Wutong?
Is it Wang Dong? Is it Wang Qiu'er? Or is it the former Tang Wutong?
In Zhou Huan's view, the newly pieced-together Tang Wutong is nobody; she is simply someone who possesses the memories of Wang Dong and the Tang Wutong.
However, while Wang Dong may be pitiful, Zhou Huan currently lacks the ability to intervene.
As for sparring or anything like that, there's even less need for that. Even if she went to see Huo Gua now, what difference would it make? It would just be a tragedy.
Of course, Zhou Huan didn't care what Wang Dong's choice was.
Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "Fighting is out of the question. If you really want to find the class monitor, just tell Xuan Zi that you beat me."
"That won't do." Suddenly, a deep voice rang out.
What appeared next was Xuanzi, the Sea God Pavilion Master, whose clothes were clean and whose hair was no longer messy!
It seems that Chicken Leg Douluo has started to pay attention to his image since becoming the Sea God Pavilion Master.
Zhou Huan thought about it and agreed. After all, the Sea God Pavilion Master represented Shrek's reputation, and couldn't continue living like a beggar gang leader as before.
Upon seeing Xuanzi, Zhou Huan and the other two quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Xuan Zi (Teacher)."
Xuanzi nodded and said, "Zhou Huan, you should still fight Wang Dong. If you win, I promise to help you obtain the most suitable Soul Ring. If you lose, there will be no punishment, after all, your cultivation level is much lower than Wang Dong's. However, Wang Dong, if you lose, you'll have to obediently stay at Shrek."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan immediately cried out in his heart, "Please don't! Xuan Zi, please spare me! I don't want to team up with you to obtain Soul Ring, it's too Jili!"
Now that Xuan Zi has intervened, Zhou Huan can't very well refuse directly; that would be too disrespectful.
Therefore, Zhou Huan politely replied, "Xuan Zi, how about we try a different approach? The main issue right now is whether Wang Dong can be guaranteed safety in the Sun Moon Empire. So, we don't need to fight; we can just compete in speed, which is my specialty. If she can outrun me, she'll definitely win. Wang Dong and I will run a lap around Sea God Island, and whoever is faster wins. Oh, by the way, Wang Dong, you can also use the Light Goddess Butterfly Flight."
After listening, Xuanzi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it that way."
Then, Zhou Huan looked at Wang Dong: "Then let's take this as the starting point and the end point."
Wang Dong stretched and said, "Okay."
At this moment, Xiao Xiao jumped out. "Then I'll be the referee. You guys get ready, set—go!"
No sooner had Xiao Xiao finished speaking than Wang Dong was possessed by the Light Goddess Butterfly, a pair of blue wings instantly sprouting from his back, and with a "whoosh," he flew forward at lightning speed...
Zhou Huan wasn't going to stand there like an idiot; with a single Ice Step, he vanished from Xiao Xiao's sight!
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief, her mind filled with only one thought: Master Zhou's speed had increased even further. Let alone her current status as a mere Soul King, even a Soul Emperor couldn't keep up.
Immediately, Xiao Xiao looked at Xuanzi and asked, "Teacher, just how fast is Zhou Da... uh, no, Zhou Huan? I can't even sense him anymore."
Xuanzi's gaze was also somewhat complicated. "He's basically reached the speed of a high-level Soul Emperor; Wang Dong has no chance of winning."
He still doesn't understand what Mu En's plans are. He only said to hand Zhou Huan over to Lexuan and not to worry about anything else.
In Xuanzi's view, Zhou Huan is another Agility Attack System Super Douluo of the Sea God Pavilion in the future. His achievements will definitely not be lower than those of Elder Song now. After all, Zhou Huan has consumed immortal Immortal Herb, and it is not impossible for him to become Limit Douluo one day.
With Disciple like Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, it's fair to say this generation truly produced a galaxy of geniuses.
Xuanzi believed that as long as he protected these Disciples, Shrek would definitely be able to dominate Douluo three hundred years.
This is also a stroke of luck for him, the current Sea God Pavilion Master.
"You're back." Xiao Xiao's voice suddenly rang out, only three minutes had passed.
Unsurprisingly, Zhou Huan appeared first!
Although Sea God Island is not large, it only takes three minutes to circle the entire island, which is extremely fast.
When Wang Dong reached the finish line, he could only fold up the wings of the Light Goddess Butterfly with a look of dejection.
Seeing this, Xuanzi said gently, "Wang Dong, don't be discouraged. Even Soul Emperor have few who can keep up with Zhou Huan's speed. You've already done very well."
Then, Xuanzi looked at Zhou Huan and said, "Come find me whenever you need your Soul Ring."
Having said that, Xuanzi vanished in a flash.
Before Zhou Huan could even say no, Xuanzi had vanished.
Alas, Zhou Huan could only sigh silently; obtaining Soul Ring was absolutely out of the question and could not be done through Xuanzi.
As for the match, Zhou Huan wanted to win against Wang Dong because he realized that Xuanzi genuinely didn't want Wang Dong to go to the Sun Moon Empire right now.
