Heading to the Extreme North

As Ye Ye spoke, a layer of armor unexpectedly manifested on his body. The armor was composed of black scales that covered him entirely, possessing a distinct mechanical aesthetic.

This was something Ye Ye had discovered by accident; he found that a suit of armor was contained within the Godzilla Blade. Ye Ye could summon this armor, and by leaving a strand of his consciousness within the Godzilla Blade, he could even control it remotely.

Ye Ye: "Today, I shall rid the people of this scourge!"

With that, Ye Ye leaped down.

Lu Xinyi: "A mere Lao Liu dares to show off his meager skills in front of me! Brothers! Charge!"

The soldiers behind him all unleashed their martial souls and spirit rings. The dark sky was suddenly filled with various vibrant colors, looking incredibly dazzling and magnificent.

Ye Ye's eyes turned slightly red. He charged forward, raised his sword, and leaped into the air. After slashing a few times, several blue sword beams surged toward them.

The sword beams instantly shattered a portion of the soldiers, cleaving them in two. Ye Ye then charged into the crowd and began engaging them in close-quarters combat.

Anyone who came into contact with the Godzilla Blade was torn to pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere. A large number of casualties occurred in an instant. Someone took advantage of the chaos to slash at Ye Ye, but it had no effect; there was only a white mark on the Godzilla Armor, which vanished as soon as the wind blew. It turned out that mark was merely residue from the opponent's blade shattering.

Ye Ye himself sustained no injuries at all. He turned around and cleaved the man who had struck him in two; Ye Ye had always been one to return a grudge in kind.

After a while, everyone had been killed by Ye Ye, leaving only Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi: "My good sir, I didn't mean it! Spare my life, and I will surely reward you handsomely!"

Ye Ye: "Ridding the people of evil is the duty of a swordsman. Today, you are a dead man!"

Seeing there was no other way out, Lu Xinyi began to curse: "What kind of bullsh*t swordsman are you? I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Ye Ye: "How about in your next life?"

As he spoke, Ye Ye swung his sword down, and a head fell to the ground!

Ye Ye deactivated the Godzilla Armor and looked at the Godzilla Blade: "Xiao Ai, there's still no change!"

As it turned out, other than some bloodstains on the surface, the Godzilla Blade had not changed at all, though it was actually absorbing the blood.

[Ding! The time has not yet come. When the time is right, it will naturally awaken!]

Ye Ye: "It seems I need to continue ridding the people of evil!"

Suddenly, an idea struck Ye Ye. He smirked, then picked up his sword and carved two characters into the wall: "Lao Liu"!

More than half a year passed.

It was now winter. For some reason, this year's winter was exceptionally cold, and it had already begun to snow by early winter.

Ye Ye sat in a small tavern in a village, sipping wine and eating side dishes. A mouthful of wine in the dead of winter left his whole body feeling warm; life was exceptionally comfortable.

No one knew that Ye Ye was now a household name throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, though no one truly knew who Ye Ye was—they only knew the name "Lao Liu"!

Just then, the door opened, and a few people walked in from outside, bringing a few snowflakes in with them.

They found a seat and said to the owner: "Boss, bring us two jars of good wine and a few side dishes!"

Owner: "Coming right up!"

The men poured their wine, took a few hearty gulps, and began to chat.

Brother One: "Have you heard? Recently, the hero Lao Liu killed another corrupt official!"

Brother Two: "Oh, yes, yes! I heard it too! The hero Lao Liu is truly a good man!"

Another person: "My good sirs! Who is this Lao Liu, and why are you all talking about him?"

Brother One glanced at him and said: "You must be from Xingluo, right? The hero Lao Liu is a swordsman!"

Stranger: "A swordsman?"

Brother One: "That's right! A swordsman. The hero Lao Liu appeared suddenly half a month ago. He rids the people of evil and has killed many corrupt officials! He even returned the money he snatched—pfft—I mean, the money he recovered from those corrupt officials back to us!"

Stranger: "So he really is a great hero!"

The more Ye Ye listened, the happier he became. He stood up and said: "Lao Liu is naturally a great hero! And he's also incredibly handsome."

Stranger: "Oh! How handsome?"

Ye Ye: "One could say he is dashing and elegant, suave and debonair, as handsome as jade, and possesses an extraordinary aura!"

Stranger: "It seems you really like the hero Lao Liu! But why is he called Lao Liu?"

Ye Ye: "This~!"

This was something Ye Ye had made up on the spot; he couldn't exactly explain the true meaning of Lao Liu!

Ye Ye had no choice but to make something up: "The meaning of Lao Liu is broken down separately. 'Lao' is an adjective representing 'super, very, extremely,' while 'Liu' stands for 'six-six-six,' which means very powerful and awesome. So, Lao Liu means someone who is super, extremely powerful!"

After finishing his fabrication, Ye Ye wiped away a cold sweat. Who would believe such a thing? He figured only Da Congming would be gullible enough to believe it!

The stranger and his brother: "So that's how it is! Thank you, brother!"

Ye Ye was stunned; he hadn't expected them to actually be such simpletons!

Before Ye Ye could react, they added: "Then I want to be a Lao Liu too!"

Ye Ye was stunned again. He hadn't expected a "Lao Liu" to be right beside him. One had to know that people from his other world hated "Lao Lius" to the core! Yet these people actually wanted to be one!

Ye Ye: "Cough, cough, cough!"

Ye Ye then left the place. During this time, he had been constantly killing evildoers, yet the Godzilla Blade still showed no signs of change.

Ye Ye was now preparing to head to the Extreme North. That's right, the Extreme North. Because there was a check-in location there, Ye Ye had to go. Perhaps this time he could obtain the Godzilla Ice Form, and wouldn't that solve his problem of being afraid of the cold?

After making his decision, Ye Ye prepared to set off for the Extreme North. Ye Ye didn't need to prepare anything; first of all, he didn't need food because Ye Ye didn't need to ingest such things. If he really had to eat, he might as well have a piece of Nuclear Rice.

Then there was the issue of keeping warm. Although Ye Ye was afraid of the cold, according to his current constitution, if a person were to feel cold, clothes would be of no use at all.

Ye Ye set off immediately. Ye Ye was currently in the south, and the Extreme North was at the very north, so Ye Ye had to cross both the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire.

Ye Ye set off directly. First, he had to pass through Nuoding City. Ye Ye suddenly remembered his godson, Tang San.

Ye Ye: Sigh! I wonder if my godson is living well. According to the plot, he should be doing quite well. I just don't know if Yu Xiaogang has returned to Nuoding Academy! If he has returned, I'll take the opportunity to mentor him; if he hasn't, I'll help my dear godson with his training!

After setting his plans, Ye Ye hit the road.

Ye Ye crossed forests, stepped over grasslands, waded through small rivers, and after half a month of enduring thousands of hardships and crossing ten thousand miles, he finally arrived at Nuoding City.

Alright, actually, it wasn't that exaggerated. Ye Ye had simply gotten lost, and then lost again. After playing around for a week, he started following the "Unscrupulous Navigation"!

(I noticed the Unscrupulous Navigation hasn't appeared for a long time, so I'm adding some plot for it immediately!)

During this time, Ye Ye had naturally been punishing evil and promoting good, killing a few more local thugs and corrupt officials.

Ye Ye entered Nuoding City; it was still so familiar.

Unscrupulous Navigation: "You wouldn't still be unable to recognize the way, would you!"

Ye Ye: "How is that possible!"

Ye Ye felt insulted and shouted in anger!

This was the first city Ye Ye had come to on the Douluo Continent, and he had even met the protagonist Tang San, who had even recognized him as a godfather. Ye Ye's impression was very deep.

Ye Ye thought for a moment and realized he couldn't quite remember!

Ye Ye: "Uh~ that!"

Unscrupulous Navigation: "Goodbye~!"

Ye Ye: "Wait!"

But the Unscrupulous Navigation had already left, and there was no sound to reply to Ye Ye, so Ye Ye had no choice but to find someone else to ask for directions!

Ye Ye cursed in his heart: "What a piece of junk navigation, sooner or later I'll break you!"

(Don't get any wrong ideas~ hehehe!)

Ye Ye found an old man sitting and resting to ask for directions!

Ye Ye: "Old man! May I ask where Nuoding Academy is!"

Old man: "What academy?"

Ye Ye: "Nuoding~! Nuoding Academy!"

Old man: "Nuoding what?"

Ye Ye: "Nuoding Academy!"

Old man: "What-ding Academy?"

Ye Ye: "Forget it!"

Ye Ye felt that the old man might really be hard of hearing, but he suddenly saw the old man's money-grubbing eyes and that stench of copper, and he seemed to understand something!

Ye Ye took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins and said: "I'm asking one last time. If you can't hear me, forget it!"

The subtext was: This is your last chance; if you don't say it, then forget it!

(The author is very thoughtful: Some people might not know the meaning of "forget it" (la dao), it means to let it go, but "la dao" sounds more casual!)

The old man grabbed Ye Ye's hand and said: "I'm old, my ears aren't very convenient. Now it's fine. You're talking about Nuoding Academy, right! Turn left at the intersection ahead, then go straight and you'll be there!"

Ye Ye gave the Gold Soul Coins to the old man and said: "You really are a good old man!"

When he said "good," Ye Ye deliberately raised his voice.

Old man: "Thanks for the compliment!"

Ye Ye: "..."

(Your elder is still your elder!)

Ye Ye walked in the direction the old man pointed, and after a while, he saw the gate of Nuoding Academy!

Ye Ye walked straight toward the school gate. Two guards were on duty there, and one of them was the same guard from the first time Ye Ye came to Nuoding Academy.

The other guard saw Ye Ye walking over and shouted loudly: "Hey! That person, leave here quickly!"

The other guard who recognized Ye Ye panicked instantly. He knew Ye Ye's strength, even if not completely.

The other guard came over, gave the guard who had shouted at Ye Ye a slap, and roared: "Get lost!"

The slapped guard: "Big brother, why did you hit me?"

The guard who recognized Ye Ye: "It's because of your titanium alloy dog eyes! How could this be an outsider? This is Teacher Ye!"

Guard: "But how come I've never seen him before?"

The guard who recognized Ye Ye: "There are many people you don't know. Is a big shot like this someone you can just see?"

Then, the guard who recognized Ye Ye walked over toward him and flattered, "Teacher Ye! Please, come in!"

Author's Note:

The first chapter for today is finished. Because my phone broke, I haven't had any drafts saved these past few days, so I have to work even harder now. Of course, you all definitely won't see this sentence; by the time you see it, it should be after the National Day holiday.
