A Night of Waiting

He kept weighing the pros and cons of the four eye techniques.

If he chose the Purple Demon Eye alone, it would be difficult for his eye technique to reach the fourth level, the Vast Sea level.

After all, unlike Tang San, he had not cultivated this eye technique since childhood, and the system had not provided any specific cultivation method.

If he chose the Spirit Eyes, then without the support of the Purple Demon Eye, the Spirit Eyes would likewise have difficulty reaching the level of Huo Yuhao's third or even fourth evolution.

Since option C was unclear, it was best not to choose it if possible.

As for the final Sharingan, it was currently at the Three Tomoe stage. Its advantage was that it could evolve on its own without relying on any external assistance.

Once it evolved to the Mangekyo Sharingan stage, he would basically be able to unlock Susanoo and exclusive eye techniques.

But this thing was also a trap. Using the Mangekyo Sharingan too much could easily lead to blindness.

What exactly should he choose? Wang Jingyu was so troubled that he wanted to curse.

After careful consideration, Wang Jingyu ultimately chose D, the Sharingan.

At its current Three Tomoe stage, even if it did not evolve into the Mangekyo level, it would still greatly improve his strength.

Whether it was copying abilities or rebounding Illusion Techniques, it would be immensely useful.

From Uchiha Sasuke using three tomoe to control Manda, it was clear that the Three Tomoe Sharingan could control beasts. It was nowhere near as specialized as the Azure Eyes Three Flower Pupils.

(I promised a reader long ago that I would give the protagonist a Sharingan, but I didn't write it as a martial soul. If that reader happens to see this, please forgive me.)

The moment Wang Jingyu made his choice, the system mechanically prompted him.

"Do you confirm your choice of D, the Three Tomoe Sharingan? Once the choice is made, it can never be changed."

"Damn it, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and give this young master the Sharingan."

Wang Jingyu nearly jumped off the bed to curse at the system. Just then, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes and quickly shut them.

The burning sensation in his eyes was like rubbing them after touching chili sauce, making tears stream down his face involuntarily.

But the burning sensation soon vanished without a trace, as though it had never existed.

Wang Jingyu sprang out of bed and ran toward the bathroom.

In the mirror, each of his red eyes contained three small tomoe. What else could they be but the Three Tomoe Sharingan?

"Haha, awesome! It really is the Three Tomoe Sharingan. This system is damn reliable.

"I just wonder whether it'll give me a chance to upgrade the Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyo, or even the Rinnegan someday."

Filled with excitement, Wang Jingyu returned to bed.

The small tomoe in his eyes had already disappeared, and his eyes had returned to normal. The moment he lay down, he fell straight into sleep.

While he slept soundly, the group from Spirit Hall led by Bibi Dong was hurrying toward the town, covered in travel dust.

The bumpy journey had left Bibi Dong unable to sleep, so she took out the diary and began reading it.

Suddenly, quite a bit of new content had appeared in the diary, and every line revealed Wang Jingyu's inner loneliness.

Bibi Dong also understood that Wang Jingyu had suddenly transmigrated into this world.

Although he possessed knowledge far ahead of everyone else across the entire Douluo Continent, there was no one who could understand him or share the loneliness in his heart.

As a result, he did not dare entrust his back to anyone. He could only silently head alone into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts.

She knew that he could not have transmigrated into this world without a purpose. That mysterious power must have wanted him to complete certain special tasks.

For example, that mysterious power had given Wang Jingyu the task of writing a diary, while giving her the task dungeon.

That was what had allowed her to avoid the mistake of falling in love with Yu Xiaogang and escape the tragedy of suffering for an entire lifetime.

That was why she felt somewhat sorry for this man and hoped to compensate him in some way.

Seeing the complicated expression on Bibi Dong's face, Ju Douluo felt that the Saintess seemed to have something on her mind.

Especially considering how she had behaved these past two days, he increasingly felt that the Saintess was lovesick.

Still, that had nothing to do with him. His purpose in accompanying the Saintess this time was simply to protect her.

As long as she did not get involved with that fellow from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all would be well.

Otherwise, if the Pope found out that the Saintess had a relationship with someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, wouldn't he be furious enough for his lungs to explode?

By late morning, the sun was already high in the sky.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, landing directly on Wang Jingyu's sleeping face.

The glaring sunlight slowly woke him from his deep sleep. Listening to the rumble of carriages and the bustling voices outside the window, he stretched, then sprang upright like a carp, leaping off the bed in one motion.

"I can't keep sleeping in. Today, I need to try my luck around the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and I still need to get back by nightfall.

"I don't dare spend the night inside the Star Dou Great Forest. The forest is most dangerous at night, so it's better to be careful."

After washing up briefly, Wang Jingyu left the inn without checking out of his room.

To hunt three Soul Rings of the five-thousand-year level, he had no idea how long it would take, so he could only keep the room for now.

He casually bought around a dozen steamed buns, three jin of cooked beef, and some drinks from the roadside, then stuffed them all into his storage space.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, where Soul Beasts were abundant, it was unsuitable to light a fire and cook, much less roast meat. Otherwise, the rich aroma could very likely draw the attacks of ferocious beasts.

Wang Jingyu had read this in Jungle Survival Rules in his previous life, and it applied equally well in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After buying the necessary supplies, Wang Jingyu strode energetically toward the outskirts of town, ready to make a name for himself.

Just as he excitedly reached the city gate, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder lightly. He turned around warily.

When he saw the smiling, pretty face before him, he looked as though he had seen a ghost and instantly staggered back several steps.

"F-Fuck, wh-why are you here? Weren't you in Suotuo City? How did you suddenly appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

The person Wang Jingyu saw was none other than that girl, Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong mischievously stuck out her tongue at him and shrugged innocently.

"Can't be helped. Someone under me is about to break through. If we don't come to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a Soul Ring, should we run all the way to the even farther Sunset Forest instead?

"What a coincidence, meeting you here. See? I told you yesterday that you should have joined our team and come with us. Why did you have to come here alone?"

Such a coincidence? Someone in their team also needed to hunt a Soul Ring?

Wang Jingyu looked suspiciously at the Spirit Hall members behind Bibi Dong. Since his strength was insufficient, he could not tell what level their Soul Power had reached.

The Spirit Hall personnel sensed Wang Jingyu's suspicious gaze and casually exchanged looks with one another.

Outwardly, none of them reacted, but they were actually communicating through their eyes.

So the Saintess had come all this way for this brat?

Who knew what was so special about him?

He had actually made them travel all the way from Suotuo City and wait for him at the city gate through the night. If the Saintess were not here, they would have loved to give him a beating.
