Testing the Waters with Mu Jins, and Knocking Out a Girl

Time flies like water; the days spent clearing out monsters and absorbing energy in the wild always pass too quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Huan had been clearing out monsters in the Dark Forest for three days.

It has to be said that if Zhou Huan had even the slightest resistance to this method of becoming stronger before, now he can only say one thing, "It's so good!"

Men can't escape the "it's actually good" phenomenon, and Zhou Huan is no exception.

Most of the monsters in the Dark Forest are only at the level of Soul King or Soul Emperor, so Zhou Huan can easily defeat them as if cutting melons and vegetables.

Although the energy dropped by these small monsters isn't much, it adds up over time; after all, small streams make a mighty ocean.

In addition, after experiencing the benefits of absorbing Abyss energy, Zhou Huan has transformed into a diligent little bee, resting only four hours a day and spending the rest of his time grinding monsters.

Such working hours would make even capitalists weep.

If Zhou Huan had had this kind of work ethic in his previous life, he wouldn't have had to worry about not being able to afford a house... Well, even if he worked himself to death, he still wouldn't be able to afford one, and even if he could, there was a high chance he wouldn't be able to get the money.

As for now, Zhou Huan definitely doesn't need to worry about buying a house; his only worry is not having enough monsters to farm.

But reality is always like this: when you don't want to work, your boss will throw a stack of documents at you, saying it's an urgent task; when you're ready to work hard and be an ambitious young person, your boss will suddenly tell you that the project has been canceled.

At this moment, Zhou Huan faced this awkward situation.

Surprisingly, after just three days and three nights of effort, there were no monsters left in this vast Dark Forest.

Was he moving too fast?

But his forty-meter-long Emperor Sword hasn't even drunk enough blood yet!

He had hoped to work hard and become the next Sword God of Shilipo, but his dream came to an abrupt end.

After all, the monsters in the Dark Forest don't respawn indefinitely; once they're gone, they're gone.

Zhou Huan felt a little helpless. The energy he had gained over the past three days wasn't much; at most, it was just a small bucket of water poured into the ocean of his being.

However, something rather amazing is that as Zhou Huan continued to absorb the energy of the Abyss creature, he discovered that this Abyss energy could actually alleviate the spatial power within his body slightly.

Moreover, this relief is not about dismantling the power of space, but rather about allowing his body to gradually adapt to the power of space.

That's interesting.

One of the most important reasons why Zhou Huan was unable to condense Space Soul Core using the spatial power within his body was that the spatial power was too violent and had not reached a state of balance with his body.

Therefore, when Zhou Huan first used spatial power to condense his Soul Core, he suffered further injuries and coughed up several kilograms of blood.

Now, the fact that Abyss energy could act as a harmonizing agent made Zhou Huan feel quite relieved.

Zhou Huan asked the Pagoda Soul Sprite about the underlying principle.

The Sprite said she wasn't quite sure either, since she wasn't Soul Master and had never condensed Soul Core. She just guessed that perhaps the energy of the Abyss was special, because the Abyss Plane was an energy plane that could almost encompass everything, even devour everything, and then make it its own.

The reason Zhou Huan felt that the Abyss energy was to alleviate the spatial power within his body rather than to devour it was probably because he hadn't absorbed enough Abyss energy, or perhaps the special effect of the Floating Pagoda caused the Abyss energy to undergo another qualitative change.

Although the Sprite said that the Floating Pagoda was created because she merged with Zhou Huan's Second Martial Soul, in reality, the creation of such an absurd Martial Soul as the Floating Pagoda was not something the Sprite could have predicted.

In short, regardless of the outcome, this result made Zhou Huan even more enthusiastic about absorbing Abyss energy.

At one point, Zhou Huan suddenly understood why those Soul Masters with Evil Martial Soul, once they embarked on the evil path, were basically unable to turn back.

Because the allure of such power is simply too great.

The only saving grace is that the Abyss World is inherently a world filled with slaughter.

There is no morality, no law, not even civilization here; there is only the law of the jungle, only life and death.

So, even if you're a bit abnormal in the Abyss, you still have to survive.

Moreover, Zhou Huan wanted more than just to survive; he didn't want to spend his entire life in the Abyss World.

Looking at the empty, Dark Forest, Zhou Huan knew it was time to set off.

The Abyss Plane is vast, and its form of existence is not like the planetary form of the Douluo Continent; it is more like a 108-layer toast.

One must pass through a separate passage to enter the next level, and vice versa.

Furthermore, each floor is very large, like a world with a round sky and a square earth.

At this moment, the Dark Forest where Zhou Huan was located was just a small corner of the 108th Layer floor.

Zhou Huan was wondering which direction she should go?

The Sprite only knew that she had brought him to the 108th Layer of the Abyss Plane, but she wasn't a locator or a satellite panoramic navigation device, so Zhou Huan had to decide how to proceed from there.

After thinking it over, Zhou Huan decided to follow the example of the ancients, since the wisdom left by their ancestors must be invaluable.

When in doubt, consulting Ancestor is also a valid approach.

So Zhou Huan immediately picked up four stones, each about the size of a soccer ball, and started throwing them haphazardly in the four cardinal directions.

This is a classic case of testing the waters!

But the next instant, a scream suddenly came from the north, "Ah--Who ambushed me!"

And surprisingly, it was a very pleasant female voice!

Zhou Huan was stunned for a full second before he flashed away and flew north.

But a series of questions kept popping into my mind.

What's going on here?

Why is there a woman screaming?

No, no, that's not the problem. The problem is that the female voice is clearly a human voice.

But in the Abyss World, besides me running dungeons, how could there be other humans?

With several bewildered expressions, Zhou Huan quickly arrived at the location of the screams.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Huan almost fell from mid-air.

What did he see?

He saw a beautiful girl in a yellow dress with long golden hair.

Of course, whether she's beautiful or not isn't the point. Zhou Huan is definitely not the kind of person who's obsessed with looks. At most, he'll just take a few more glances. It's purely an appreciation of beauty. How could he possibly have any bad intentions?

So, the key point is... the key point is that Zhou Huan knows the girl in front of him!

Although he didn't know why she had a big bump on her forehead, which was a bit red and swollen, as if she had been hit by something, Zhou Huan still recognized the girl in yellow at a glance.

Isn't she Le Wuxue?

Even though they hadn't seen each other for over three years, Zhou Huan recognized this junior from junior school at first glance... Well, she's not a kid anymore now, she's grown into a beautiful young woman...

Snap!

Zhou Huan mentally slapped herself. What nonsense was she thinking?!

The main point now isn't why Le Wuxue appeared in the Abyss World, is it?
