Long Jinyu stared at the burning light ignited by ideals in Xian Lin'er's eyes, knowing that the time had come.
The corner of his lips slightly curved and he said softly, "Senior sister has the ambition of innovation, and junior brother is willing to do my best. In fact, I have prepared a small gift for senior sister when you come here today."
"Oh? A gift?"
Xian Lin'er was really startled. In fact, she had also prepared a gift - a seven-level soul guide brooch carved by herself, which could calm the mind and soul. At this moment, she felt that her palms were slightly hot, and her feelings seemed inexplicably lighter in front of his calm tone.
Before she could think about it, Long Jinyu's expression turned solemn. Soul Tool Ring's fingertips flashed, and a long dark gold box about one and a half meters long fell to the ground out of thin air. The dull sound of impact revealed its astonishing weight. The box did not have any redundant decorations, only a few ancient and concise dragon-shaped etchings. The energy pressure and the breath of time emanating from the whole body actually made the air freeze.
"This is..."
Xian Lin'er's pupils shrank sharply. As a level 95 Super Douluo, her perception clearly "touched" the destructive power in the box that was silent but capable of tearing apart space.
Long Jinyu's palm gently caressed the cold box, as if caressing a dusty past, a fleeting trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by determination.
"Senior sister, I believe you can tell with your strength that this is exactly a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell."
"Nine... level nine custom equipment...Soul Cannon bomb?!"
Despite the premonition, Xian Lin'er still felt extremely shaken.
It is a strategic-level existence, and it is extremely difficult to make. It is rumored that its power is equivalent to a full blow of a Limit Douluo, which can easily destroy a small city, enough to deter Super Douluo and confront Limit Douluo. Except for the Sun Moon Empire, it is difficult to find a trace of the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms!
"Sister, don't be alarmed, this is beyond my control."
Long Jinyu's tone was calm, but it seemed to contain a huge amount of weight. "It comes from 'Nine-Colored Dragon Valley', which is my hometown. In the past, I used the strength of the whole clan and spent hundreds of years to accumulate it, and it was only able to be refined into ten pieces. It was the last support to resist the disaster of annihilation. As the young master, I am entrusted to keep one of them."
His voice paused slightly, and his voice became a little deeper. "Unfortunately, now Dragon Valley has passed away, and the mountains and rivers are broken. The glory and vigilance of the past have all become clouds and smoke. Now I am only Soul Ancestor, and this thing to me is like a child in charge of a magic weapon. It is not only useless, but also brings disaster."
He raised his eyes and looked at Xian Lin'er with clear and sincere eyes. "Senior Sister is the most sincere person I have ever seen for the way of soul guidance. She is a well-deserved 'hero'. Treasures should be given to heroes. Instead of gathering dust in my hands, this bullet should be entrusted to Senior Sister. I hope it can be given to the Soul Guidance Department's research sets a benchmark, or... when the college needs to use strength to defend justice in the future, it can fulfill its original mission. This can also be regarded as me, Dragon Valley, doing my part for Shrek for this 'grand road'."
Xian Lin'er was completely stunned.
The weight of this gift has long transcended material things. It is the legacy of an annihilated civilization, the past that a young man carries silently, and it is an unreserved and heavy trust!
She could feel the deep pain and determination hidden in Long Jinyu's calm tone. This gift was his break with the past and his intention to entrust his future life to Shrek.
The shock in my heart subsided a little, the turbulent emotion surged up, and a heavy responsibility suddenly fell on my shoulders.
Her fingertips were hanging above the box but she didn't dare to let go easily - she was afraid that she was not capable enough and would let down the young man's sincerity and Dragon Valley's embers, and she was even more afraid that by rejecting him categorically, he would lose his heartfelt sincerity.
His eyes swept over the faint dragon-shaped pattern on the box, and then he thought about Long Jinyu's decisive decision just now, and thought about the prospect of the Soul Guidance Department using this cannonball to analyze the core, break the old situation, and benefit people's livelihood, and he felt uncontrollable excitement in his heart, and anxiety and expectation were stirring in his chest.
She almost held her breath, and with Soul Engineer piety, she touched the dark gold box with trembling fingertips. It felt cold to the touch, but there seemed to be a pulse of destruction beating underneath.
"Jin Yu... junior brother..."
Xian Lin'er's voice was slightly hoarse. He took a deep breath and suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart. "I, Xian Lin'er, on behalf of the Shrek Soul Tool Department, am ashamed to receive this generous gift! I am Martial Soul swears that he will use it for the right path - or analyze it with all his strength to pursue the wisdom of Dragon Valley's sages; or make it shine with its due brilliance at the time of life and death! I will never let you down!"
Long Jinyu nodded slightly, and the anxiety in his heart finally dissipated, but it was filled with slight guilt.
'Senior sister, I'm sorry. I lied to you after all. There is no such thing as Nine-Colored Dragon Valley. The so-called family legacy is just a system... Some things, probably from beginning to end, can only be kept in my heart and carried alone...'
[...]
At this moment, no more words are needed. The resonance of thoughts, because of this gift that transcends worldly values, has become a tacit understanding, a bond like a shared belief and a life-entrusting relationship.
When she looked at Long Jinyu again, her eyes had returned to their usual heroic spirit, and they were even more intimate.
"Junior brother gave me such a big gift. If senior sister doesn't express anything, it would be stingy."
Xian Lin'er smiled, turned his wrist, and a delicately shaped brooch with a faint green light appeared in the palm of his hand. The brooch was in the shape of a dragon scale, with a gem like jumping green flames embedded in the center, faintly exuding warm and stable Soul Power fluctuations.
"This is a Level 7 Soul Tool, 'Azure Scale Heart Guard', that I made in my early years. Wearing it can calm your mind, assist the operation of Soul Power, and can withstand a full blow of the Soul Douluo level. It is not a precious thing, but it is my heart. I hope junior brother will not dislike it."
Although this return gift is far less valuable than Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, it represents the most sincere recognition and concern of a senior sister. It is light on etiquette but heavy on affection.
Long Jinyu There was a hint of warmth in his eyes, he took it with both hands, and solemnly pinned it on his chest on his moon-white clothes. The green scales reflected the moon-white clothes, which perfectly matched his handsome and handsome temperament.
"Thank you, senior sister. I like it very much. It will always remind me that in Shrek, there is a senior sister who shares the same goals with me."
He paused, then changed his subject slightly, with a hint of cunning and deep meaning unique to young people. "Senior sister, with 'it' in hand, if you want to 'chat' with the elders in the college who still hold on to the old ideas, you will be more confident. Sometimes, showing a part of the power that can change the situation is more convincing than a thousand words."
Xian Lin'er heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up!
She had exactly this intention! She wanted to make some preparations before lobbying, but she didn't expect that this junior brother actually had an idea with her and was so decisive!
"Hahaha!"
Xian Lin'er laughed heartily for a rare moment, feeling that every moment spent with his junior brother was so joyful, connected, and incomparable. "Good junior brother! You really... have won my heart! We want to be together again!"
The more she looked at Long Jinyu, the more pleasing she became. The natural closeness derived from Martial Soul was intertwined with the high degree of resonance in her thoughts at this moment, which filled her heart with the emotion of "I regret meeting you so late".
She always acted vigorously and resolutely, so she immediately decided. "It's better to choose a day than to hit it! Now that you have such confidence, why wait any longer? Let's go ask Mu En to open Sea God Pavilion Meeting now!"
She looked at Long Jinyu with a burning gaze, with a hint of pleading and trust, "Good junior brother, how about accompanying senior sister? When the time comes, help senior sister say a few words to calm those old antiques!"
Long Jinyu:'???'
'Ber? Is this... so fast? Don't you think more about it? If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have mentioned it. I really dug a hole for myself to jump into, and you asked me to "speech" in front of everyone?'
He looked at the fighting spirit and expectation burning in Xian Lin'er's eyes, and nodded without hesitation. "I will accompany you. It is also my junior brother's wish to clear Soul Tool's name."
Xian Lin'er felt at ease and her smile became brighter. She suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, I heard that Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell all have their own names. I wonder if this one..."
Long Jinyu understood, and said, "Senior sister's guess is good. Because this bomb was kept by me, the elders in the clan combined it with my name, and because it contains a trace of original dragon power, it is conservatively estimated that the power is more than three times that of the ordinary Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, so it is named - 'Cinderflame Dragon Might'."
"Cinderflame Dragon Might..."
Xian Lin'er savored the name carefully, and felt a domineering and unparalleled image of burning all evils rushing towards his face, which complemented the sharpness hidden under the appearance of the young man in front of him, Qing Ya.
"What a name! Domineering without losing the foundation. Senior Dragon Valley, you really have great wisdom."
She didn't waste any more time, grabbed Long Jinyu's wrist, and said crisply, "I remember the name! Without further ado, let's go to the Sea God Pavilion!"
'Hey, hey! Senior sister, why did you get started again? I can fly by myself!'
Having said that, without waiting for Long Jinyu to respond, Super Douluo's tyrannical aura flashed slightly, and the green dragon flames enveloped the two of them, turning into a stream of light and speeding straight towards the core of Sea God Island - Sea God Pavilion.
Today, she, Xian Lin'er, will bring "Cinderflame Dragon Might" and this talented junior brother to fight for a bright future for the Soul Guidance Department in the highest palace of Shrek!
In the flash of light and shadow, the two landed directly in front of the simple and solemn gate of the Sea God Pavilion. Compared to Xian Lin'er, whose breathing was slightly rapid due to excitement, Long Jinyu seemed much calmer, but there was also a trace of solemnity in his clear eyes.
The two straightened their clothes, and after Xian Lin'er adjusted their emotions, they respectfully transmitted the message as Soul Power: "Disciple Xian Lin'er, together with junior brother Long Jinyu, I have something to ask to see the teacher, please open Sea God Pavilion Meeting!"
The sound entered the pavilion, and after a moment of silence, the door slid open a gap silently, and a gentle and peaceful breath filled the air.
"Come in."
Mu En's voice, which was a bit old and hoarse, but also contained endless wisdom, came slowly.
The two of them walked into the pavilion, and in the quiet room of the side hall, they saw Mu En, who was sitting on a recliner, reading a volume of ancient books in the light of the window. He still looked like the kind-hearted old man who was about to die, but in his eyes that opened and closed slightly, his deep gaze seemed to be able to understand everything.
"Lin'er, and Jin Yu."
Mu En put down the book and glanced at the two of them, especially the brand new "Azure Scale Heart Guard" brooch on Long Jinyu's chest. He paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up, "Why are you so eager to use my old bones to open Sea God Pavilion Meeting?"
Xian Lin'er took a step forward, bowed and saluted, with uncontrollable excitement and determination in his tone. "Teacher, disciples and junior brother Jin Yu have had in-depth discussions and agreed that the future development of the Shrek Soul Tool Department and even the college has reached a point where major changes must be made! We... we have found a clear 'grand road'!"
"Oh?"
Mu En looked at Long Jinyu with great interest, "Little guy, it seems that you and Lin'er had a very happy conversation? Did you find the 'big road' so quickly?"
Long Jinyu saluted respectfully. "Teacher, this disciple just exchanged some brief opinions with Senior Sister Xian Lin'er. Senior Sister's persistence and foresight in the way of Soul Tool deeply admire the disciple. We all think that, Soul Tool should not be limited to fighting, but should also benefit people's livelihood and be integrated into every aspect of Soul Master's cultivation and life. This is the right way to benefit the mainland. However, the old ideas in the academy have strict barriers and are difficult to promote without force."
Xian Lin'er answered immediately with a firm voice, "Teacher! In order to prove the feasibility and necessity of this path, and also to shut up some stubborn old guys completely! Disciple, please open Sea God Pavilion Meeting. At that time, we will produce a 'certificate' that is enough to change their minds!"
Mu En's cloudy eyes flashed, and he could naturally see that Xian Lin'er's confidence at this moment was very different from before. A large part of this confidence seemed to come from the quiet and smiling young man beside him.
"Certificate?"
Mu En slowly sat up straighter, and his eyes fell on Long Jinyu again, "It seems that you, little guy, have come up with something incredible again, which has completely ignited your senior sister's ambition."
Long Jinyu bowed slightly. "The disciple just believes that if some dusty old things can be used to create the future, they are far more valuable than being destroyed. The disciple is willing to work with the senior sister to make suggestions for the future of Shrek."
Mu En was silent for a moment, looking back and forth between the high-spirited Xian Lin'er and the calm and composed Long Jinyu.
In the quiet room, there was only the faint sound of wind coming from the window. He saw the long-lost blazing heat in Xian Lin'er's eyes, which was the light that had found the direction. He also saw the composure of Long Jinyu that was far beyond his years, hiding a calm determination.
Finally, he sighed softly, with a hint of relief and relief in his sigh.
"That's fine."
Mu En's voice was still hoarse, but with unquestionable determination, "I've rested for a long time, and it's time for the Sea God Pavilion to hear something different. Since you have this intention and have the 'proof', then..."
He closed his eyes slightly, and a spiritual force as vast as the sea, but extremely gentle, spread quietly around him like a wave of water, instantly covering the entire Sea God Pavilion, and sending clear thoughts to several specific directions outside the pavilion.
"... As you wish."
Mu En opened his eyes again and looked at the two people standing side by side in front of him, with a smile on his lips, "Go and wait in the meeting hall. I also want to see how much of a disturbance this 'certificate' you have prepared can cause in the Sea God Pavilion."
Xian Lin'er suppressed his excitement and looked at each other with Long Jinyu, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
"Yes! Teacher!"
