Zhang Lexuan stood there, watching their backs getting smaller and smaller, becoming more and more blurry, and finally being swallowed up by the bustling crowd.
She stood for a long time.
Then she sighed softly, turned around and walked back to the college gate.
In the office.
Yan Shaozhe is sitting here, holding a cup of cold tea in his hand.
He has been sitting here since the message from Sea God Island came through.
He wanted to see Zhang Lexuan persuade Lin Yaoyang to go back. After all, didn't that kid have a crush on Lexuan? Wasn't he very close to her? If Lexuan asked to keep him, he should hesitate, right?
He saw it.
He saw Zhang Lexuan accompany them on a boat across the lake, saw them crossing the campus, and saw them standing at the gate of the college to say goodbye.
Then he saw Lin Yaoyang and turned to leave.
Never looked back.
Zhang Lexuan didn't stop him.
Even...
Yan Shaozhe frowned.
Zhang Lexuan didn't seem to seriously stop him at all.
Yan Shaozhe put down the teacup and stood up.
His movements were a little stiff, and the expression on his face was one of suppressed anxiety.
He wanted to rush out, stop the young man in person, reason with him, tell him about Shrek's Ten Thousand Years glory, and tell him about the resources, status, and future that he could get by staying in Shrek.
But he didn't move.
Mu En's words were still in his ears. "Can you stop me?"
Yan Shaozhe sat down again.
He picked up the cup of cool tea and drank it in one gulp.
The tea is cold.
People are gone.
On the main road of Shrek City, four people were walking among the crowd.
Xiao Xiao suddenly said, "Brother Yao Yang, where are we going now?"
Lin Yaoyang thought for a while.
"Leave the range of Shrek City first." He paused, "Find a secluded place, I have important things to do."
Wang Dong'er tilted his head curiously. "What's the important thing?"
"I'll tell you later." Lin Yaoyang didn't look back, nor did he stop. "Anyway, let's leave here first."
The three of them looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
Spirit Sea.
Electrolux's voice sounded, with a hint of doubt.
"My little friend, I can feel that a powerful energy is brewing in your body and is about to burst out. Why are you suppressing it? Is this related to the important thing you just said?"
The consciousness of Lin Yaoyang appeared in the Spirit Sea, looking at the gray bead.
"Elder Electrolux," he responded in his mind, "I have absorbed a Dragon Core before. That Dragon Core provided me with a blank Soul Ring when I was at level sixty. Now, that familiar feeling is coming again."
"Oh?" There was more interest in Electrolux's voice.
"I think this energy should be condensing the seventh Soul Ring for me."
Electrolux was silent for a moment, and a faint halo appeared on the gray beads.
"According to the rules of your world, the faster you can break through and obtain Soul Ring, right? Why don't you let that energy condense into Soul Ring while you are practicing in the quiet room?"
Lin Yaoyang explained, "Elder Electrolux, our human Soul Master here cannot condense Soul Ring on its own."
"Oh?"
"In the Douluo Continent, Soul Ring can only be obtained by hunting Soul Beast. If a human condenses Soul Ring out of thin air, especially if Soul Beast is not hunted, it is likely to be regarded as Soul Beast Transformation."
"When the time comes, there's no telling what will happen."
Electrolux was silent for a moment, and then let out a low sigh.
"That's it."
"And,"
Lin Yaoyang continued, "I didn't know that that energy could continue to condense Soul Ring. I thought it would just stay in my body to help me practice. I didn't expect that it would automatically condense when it reaches the critical point."
Electrolux didn't ask again.
The gray bead calmed down again.
Lin Yaoyang took three girls and headed east.
After walking for a long time, they arrived at the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.
This is a low hilly area with sparse trees and open grassland.
Continuing to go east, you will find the outer area of Star Dou Forest. Occasionally, low-level Soul Beast will appear, but basically no one will come.
Lin Yaoyang stopped and looked around.
"Just right here."
Wang Dong'er looked around, a little confused. "Here? What are we going to do?"
"I'm already level 70 and need to break through."
He found a flat piece of grass and sat down cross-legged.
"Breakthrough."
"Breakthrough?" Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up, "Are you going to reach the seventh level?"
"Hmm."
"So fast?!"
Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
"Brother Yao Yang, how long have you been in the sixth ring?"
"No way, good luck."
"Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nannan," he said, "Please help me be vigilant. No matter what you see, don't make a sound, and don't let anyone get close."
The three girls looked at each other and nodded.
Lin Yaoyang Close your eyes.
He no longer suppresses the energy that has been brewing in his body for a long time.
It's like a floodgate has opened.
The energy rushes out of the body and flows crazily along the meridians, getting faster and faster and more intense.
It rises from the Dantian, rushes through the twelve main meridians, passes through the eight extraordinary meridians, passes through the limbs and bones, and finally converges at the Baihui point on the top of the head.
A ball of light rushed out from his Tianling Cap and slowly condensed above his head.
A circle of Soul Ring outline appeared.
Blank, transparent, like a ring made of pure energy.
It floats above Lin Yaoyang's head and rotates slowly.
Then, it starts to change color.
White, yellow, purple...
Then, the black is swallowed up by the red.
A circle of blood-red Soul Ring floated quietly above the head of Lin Yaoyang.
Wang Dong'er's eyes widened.
The small mouths of Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao opened into an O shape.
They have seen Lin Yaoyang's Soul Ring, which is already a level beyond their imagination.
Now, in the seventh ring, there is another red Soul Ring!
And he condensed it out of thin air.
There is no hunting of Soul Beast, no sacrifice of Soul Beast, and no external assistance.
He himself condensed a circle of Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring out of thin air.
"This..." Wang Dong'er's voice was trembling, "How is this possible?"
Xiao Xiao also came to his senses and whispered, "Brother Yao Yang can't be...Soul Beast Transformation, right?"
"No." Jiang Nannan shook his head and said in a very soft voice, "His Martial Soul is not Soul Beast."
The three girls were silent for a moment.
No matter how shocked they are, the fact is before them: Lin Yaoyang and Seventh Soul Ring did grow by themselves.
No one would believe this kind of thing.
Lin Yaoyang opened his eyes and took a long breath.
Seven circles Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.
Purple, purple, purple, black, red, red, red.
Three purple, one black and three red.
Seven-Ring Soul Sage.
He stood up and moved his muscles and bones. The bones made a slight crackling sound, and a faint golden light flowed on the surface of the skin for a moment, and then disappeared.
"Okay." He said, "Let's go."
The three girls came to their senses and quickly followed.
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin, what did you just say..."
"Seventh Soul Ring." Lin Yaoyang didn't explain much.
"But how can you..."
"Well, it's a long story. I got a Dragon Core before..."
Outside Star Dou Forest, behind a hidden bush somewhere.
Two Soul Beasts, one big and one small, were squatting there.
The big one had three identical heads, and its six eyes were all staring in the direction of the four people in the distance.
Scarlet King.
The smaller one has a golden body and a body shape like a lion, but is more slender and elegant than the lion. It has an upright red eye on its forehead.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The two Soul Beast lowered their breath and hid behind the bushes.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion patted Scarlet King's thigh with his paw, and his vertical pupils narrowed slightly.
"Scarlet King, look, I just said this person is not simple!"
Her voice was crisp, with a hint of pride, "No wonder those two Extreme North are so interested in him."
Scarlet King's three big heads nodded slightly at the same time, with surprise in all six eyes.
"Auspicious Beast,"
He said in a low voice, "Can you sense whether he is a human or Soul Beast?"
Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook his head, and the vertical pupil on his forehead flickered slightly, as if he was detecting something.
"He doesn't have the aura of Soul Beast on him," she said, "But his new Soul Ring has the aura of the Dragon Clan."
"Dragon Clan?"
"Very pure and ancient."
Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical pupils narrowed, "At least it's not lower than Uncle Di Tian's bloodline level."
Scarlet King was silent for a moment.
Among Star Dou Forest, the one with the strongest Dragon Clan Bloodline is Di Tian.
Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Beast God, the strongest among Soul Beast in the entire continent.
In this human boy's Soul Ring, is there the aura of the Dragon Clan that is on the same level as Di Tian?
"Di Tian must have felt it too, right?"
Scarlet King whispered.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion has no answer.
She looked at the orange-red haired boy in the distance, a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
The boy turned around and walked west with the three girls.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes stayed on him for a long time, and then moved to the girl with long pink and blue hair next to him.
"That woman..." she whispered.
"What's wrong?" Scarlet King asked.
"It's nothing." Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked away, turned and walked towards the depths of the forest, "Let's go, it's time to go back. This is not something we have to deal with."
Scarlet King looked back at the people in the distance, shook his head, and followed them.
After walking a few steps, Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't help but look back.
Lin Yaoyang Several people have gone far away.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace.
