Looking at Xiao Xiao's desperate expression of "Is it too late to return the product now?", Luo Can almost burst out laughing.
He suppressed a smile and patted the little Loli on the shoulder, "Okay, since you have chosen this path, you have to stick to it. Let's go here today to let your body adapt. Starting from tomorrow, you will have an hour of 'electrotherapy' every morning, practice <Mysterious Heaven Skill> in the afternoon, and continue Medicinal Bath in the evening. Do you remember?"
Xiao Xiao flattened his mouth and nodded aggrievedly. "Remember, remember, master..." The voice had a thick nasal sound, and paired with the dark green ponytail that was slightly curled by electricity and had some fried hair, it looked very pitiful.
"Be good, just persist through the initial adaptation period." Luo Can softened his tone, took out a piece of exquisite honey osmanthus candy and stuffed it into Xiao Xiao's hand, "Here, reward your bravery. You performed well today."
The sweet taste melted in his mouth, and Xiao Xiao finally felt better and whispered, "Thank you, master..."
"Go, have some fun with your senior sisters and relax. Remember to come to Medicinal Bath on time in the evening." Luo Can rubbed her hair.
"Yeah!" Xiao Xiao clutched the candy and limped (being shocked) and ran to Ye Lingling and the others for comfort.
Watching the back of the little apprentice running away, the smile on Luo Can's face faded slightly, and he said to Ju Zi next to him, "The intensity of lightning stimulation will increase by five percent every day. Pay attention to her body reaction. If there are signs that she cannot bear it, stop immediately."
"Understood." Ju Zi adjusted his glasses and recorded the information, "I will design a monitoring bracelet to monitor her heart rate, Soul Power Wave and muscle status in real time. However, A-Can, will such high-intensity adaptive training be too harsh for a six-year-old child?"
"Twin Martial Souls is a talent, but also a burden." Luo Can looked at the distant Emerald Lake waves with a calm but firm tone, "If she wants to carry the top Spirit Ring that Twin Martial Souls may add in the future, especially the Hundred Thousand Years level Spirit Ring, her body must be several times or even ten times stronger than the same level Spirit Master. The 'strictness' now is to be able to easily hold the power in the future, instead of being counterattacked by the power."
Ju Zi nodded and didn't say anything else. He just couldn't bear to see such a little girl having to endure this.
The following days can be described as "painful and happy" for Xiao Xiao.
Every morning, the "electrotherapy" time when she puts on the silver bracelet is the most painful moment for her. From the initial moment of fainting, to being able to stand tremblingly for more than ten seconds, to being able to grin her teeth while being electrocuted, she can barely perform the starting pose of "Thunderclap Bombardment Fist".
The progress of the little loli is visible to the naked eye, but the price paid is that at the end of every morning, she feels like she has just been fished out of the water, her whole body is soaked in sweat, her face is pale, and she walks with trembling legs.
"Sister Lingling... Yan Sister Yan... Sister Xiao Ya... Save, save me... Master is a devil..." At this time, Xiao Xiao would throw herself into the arms of the three senior sisters and complain in a crying voice.
Ye Lingling usually just touches her head to show comfort. Dugu Yan will laugh and pinch her face that is a little puffy from the electricity, "Come on, little Xiao Xiao! When you finish practicing, senior sister will take you to beat people up!"
Tang Ya was holding back her laughter while massaging her sore limbs.
In the afternoon it was <Mysterious Heaven Skill>'s training time. Xiao Xiao's understanding was indeed outstanding. With the careful guidance of Luo Can, Tang Ya and Ju Zi, she made rapid progress in mastering these two techniques and soon entered the first level.
Medicinal Bath at night became the "reward" time. The warmth and increased strength brought by the penetration of the medicine made Xiao Xiao gradually begin to look forward to this moment. Every time Medicinal Bath ended, she felt her body became lighter and stronger, and Bai Tian's fatigue from being electrocuted was mostly dissipated.
Luo Can was not idle either. In addition to guiding Xiao Xiao, he also took the time to go to Baican Village several times to review the initial effects of the "encourage childbirth" policy.
The result made him dumbfounded. The village Bai Tian was much quieter. The villagers seemed to be seizing the time to "recuperate".
Bai Ningshuang's cultivation progress has also been significantly accelerated with the help of sufficient pills and Soul Condensing Liquid, and it is not far from 26th Rank.
At the same time, he also learned about the strange massacre at the border through Dugu Bo.
Heaven Dou City, deep inside the palace.
Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, and Platinum Bishop Salas representing Spirit Hall reunite again.
"Bishop Salas and elder Spirit Hall, when will they arrive?" Xue Ye rubbed his swollen temples and asked in a deep voice.
Several days have passed since the tragedy occurred, and people in the border areas are still panicked. Rumors are spreading everywhere. Horrible rumors such as "the coming of evil gods" and "heavenly punishment" have even begun to spread, which has had a considerable impact on the empire's rule.
Salas looked equally heavy. "Your Majesty, His Holiness the Pope attaches great importance to this matter and has sent Elder Ghost Leopard to meet Elder Demon Bear personally. Since coming to investigate, the two elders will arrive at Heaven Dou City tomorrow at the latest. At that time, Your Majesty will need to make it convenient for you to access the detailed defense map of the border garrison, as well as the records of all suspicious persons entering and leaving the border in the past six months."
"Of course." Xue Ye nodded, then looked at Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's investigation has made any new discoveries?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and shook his head, with a trace of exhaustion on his face. "The disciples of our sect almost searched the area where the incident occurred. Apart from confirming that all the deceased were killed by some force that drained their essence and blood instantly, and did not seem to have much pain before death, they found almost no valuable clues. There were no traces of large-scale Spirit Power Burst or battles at the scene, and no strange soul power residues were found. The murderer... seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared out of thin air. It was terrifyingly clean."
Dugu Bo's green snake eyes flashed with cold light. "I have personally gone to several sites to see it. The method of extracting blood essence is by no means ordinary Soul Skill. What's even weirder is that even the soul has been wiped out, as if it was... devoured by something. This reminds me of some ancient records, about some... evil arts that rely on swallowing the essence, blood and soul of living beings to practice."
"Evil magic?" Bishop Salas frowned, "Mr. Dugu is referring to the ancient Evil Spirit Master inheritance?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Dugu Bo said in a low voice, "Moreover, the murderer's methods are so clean and neat, and his strength may far exceed our expectations. Your two majesties, as well as Sect Master Ning, must be prepared for the worst."
Worst case scenario... everyone's heart sank.
If there is really a Evil Spirit Master Titled Douluo who has mastered ancient evil arts and is hunting in secret, it will be a terrible disaster for Two Great Empires and even the entire continent.
"The top priority is to find the traces of the murderer as soon as possible, or... clarify his purpose." Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, "Such a large-scale massacre is by no means aimless. Maybe it is for cultivation, maybe to hold some kind of ceremony, or maybe... there are other motives."
"The two elders Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear are good at tracking and investigating, and they may find something." Salas said, "In addition, His Holiness the Pope has ordered to strengthen the vigilance of each branch hall, and notified all parties to be vigilant. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."
The meeting ended in a heavy atmosphere. Everyone seemed to have a huge stone weighing on their hearts.
Fate Defying Valley, evening.
Luo Can has finished the day's instruction and is leisurely Fishing by the lake. System Points has steadily grown to 450,000, which is one step closer to the goal of improving Fishing Spot's level.
Qian Renxue walked to him lightly and sat down, leaning on his shoulder naturally, looking at the sparkling lake, and asked softly, "Husband, what do you think about the border affairs?"
Luo Can is still looking at the fish float. "The means are cruel, the purpose is unknown, and the strength is a mystery. This is not a good thing."
"Who do you think... it could be?" Qian Renxue asked.
Luo Can shook his head. "There is too little information. It may be the ancient Evil Spirit Master that is deeply hidden, or it may be... a monster that escaped from 'that place'. However, no matter which it is, it means trouble. Spirit Hall sent two elders here this time, and it seems that Bibi Dong also attaches great importance to it."
When Bibi Dong was mentioned, Qian Renxue's eyes were slightly cold, but he quickly regained his composure. "Do you need me to do anything?"
"No need for the time being." Luo Can took Qian Renxue into his arms and said, "Our first priority now is to accumulate strength and train disciples. As long as the wind and rain from the outside world do not blow Fate Defying Valley, we will let them toss. But..."
He paused, and a deep light flashed in his eyes. "After the foundation of Xiao Xiao is more solid and the Mysterious Heaven Skill of Tang Ya is on the right track, I plan to go to Nuoding City."
Qian Renxue immediately understood what he meant, raised his head, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes. "Go to Yu Xiaogang?"
"Yeah." Luo Can nodded, "It's time to meet this 'theoretical Grandmaster', and by the way... give him a 'meeting gift'. Moreover, that kid Tang San should be about to awaken his martial spirit, right? I just want to take Xiao Ya to 'see' him."
"I'll go too." Qian Renxue said
Luo Can smiled, "Okay, let's go together, but you have to promise me to control your emotions and don't be tempted to take action as soon as we meet. Our plan requires patience."
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Qian Renxue snorted.
At this moment, the fishing rod sank suddenly!
Luo Can Use force on your wrist and lift it upward!
Wow!
The water splashed, and a streak of light was "fished" by him from the lake and fell on the grass on the shore.
