In the Training Grounds, Bibi Dong recalled the countless spiders that filled the sky and exclaimed, "What incredible power!"
That was her sixth Spirit Skill after fusion, which could summon two Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eater Spider Emperor of the same level as Bibi Dong. Based on Bibi Dong's current level of 97, these two spider summons must be at least 500,000 years old!
Then, these two spider summons can split. They can split into four identical spiders by splitting in half their level. Most importantly, there is no upper limit to this ability. As long as Bibi Dong is familiar with the operation, splitting into 100,000 ten-year-level spiders is no problem at all. It can be described as a move that perfectly combines single-target and group attacks.
In addition, the slashing, defensive, and special abilities formed by the fusion of several other Spirit Ring have been greatly amplified, far exceeding Bibi Dong's expectations.
Of course, there is another very important thing. After the Martial Soul Fusion, her Zerg Empress Martial Soul shed the bloated body of her Martial Soul Avatar. Except for the arthropods on her back, she was in a humanoid form. Although she still looked somewhat ferocious, her unique appearance had a unique charm, like a rose with thorns, beautiful, alluring, and dangerous.
After retrieving her Martial Soul, Bibi Dong walked towards Xiao Fen, who was recording data. Looking at Xiao Fen's earnest and adorable appearance, Bibi Dong couldn't help but think of her daughter again.
Bibi Dong's expression changed three times before she gently pulled Xiao Fen into her arms.
Xiao Fen sensed a tremendous Evil emanating from the back of her head. Without pausing, she calmly said, "Teacher, when the clone returns, the original body will also sense it."
Having resolved a part of her inner turmoil, Bibi Dong was in an exceptionally good mood. Her eyes were filled with affection as she gently stroked Xiao Fen's head. "It's alright. Right now, I just want to hug you."
"... That's fine, after all, we won't be able to hug each other for a while in the future."
Upon hearing Xiao Fen's words, Bibi Dong was taken aback, then her eyes gradually sharpened. She now had no doubt about Wu Ling, and based on experience, Wu Ling should have spent the past six months in seclusion. Therefore, for Xiao Fen to say such a thing, there must be some external force at play.
" Xiao Fen, did someone upset you and Ling'er? Tell me, and your teacher will teach them a lesson. Even if that person is Grand Priest, I'll make sure they suffer a lot!"
Xiao Fen shook her head and explained, "No, it's because after encountering that god last time, Wu Ling seems to have started some kind of Divine Trial, and needs to leave here for a while."
The Divine Trial that Xiao Fen mentioned was just an excuse. The real reason was that Wu Ling was preparing to travel to other worlds. For Wu Ling, who couldn't provide clear evidence, explaining this to Bibi Dong was no less difficult than explaining to an ancient emperor that the earth was round.
Although explaining the existence of other worlds to Bibi Dong would likely be simpler than explaining the geocentric model to the ancient emperors due to the presence of the Divine Realm, Wu Ling found it troublesome. Why bother explaining something that could be covered up with a simple excuse? And indeed, as Xiao Fen said, going to other worlds was part of the " Divine Trial," since only gods could travel between worlds.
Sure enough, when the topic of the Divine Trial came up, Bibi Dong stopped asking questions. As someone who also faced the Divine Trial, she knew that she couldn't really help with this. Besides, she believed that with Wu Ling's talent, he would definitely pass.
"Then, if there's anything you need to prepare before you leave, just let me know."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Then, two months later...
Wu Ling slowly stood up from the training room. "Is it time?"
Pushing open the door, I saw Xiao Fen and Zhu Zhuqing standing together. Zhu Zhuqing had heard that Wu Ling would be leaving today, so she had been waiting here early, while Xiao Fen was scribbling in her notebook.
Wu Ling first comforted Zhu Zhuqing for a few words, and after sending her away, she talked to Xiao Fen about serious matters. "How are the preparations going?"
"It's alright. I strengthened Xiao Lan and the others' ' Spirit Origin ' and the array formations on their bodies, so there shouldn't be any problems for the next year. They will stay here to continue cultivating, while I will go with you, so that you won't be unable to set up Magic Circle by then."
The planned timeframe is about a year, meaning we should be able to return before the events of Douluo I. However, due to the uncertain time difference, we will have to begin our return journey between the eighth and tenth month, regardless of how well we have explored those two worlds.
I also brought the Soul Power Block and the Energy Conversion Device. Since it's uncertain whether the energy of that world can be absorbed, the Energy Conversion Device is necessary. If the device fails, I can use the Soul Power Block to return, to avoid dying far from home due to insufficient Soul Power to return.
There was also food, equipment, medicine...
Listening to Xiao Fen's detailed explanation of the ample preparations, Wu Ling nodded in satisfaction. When it comes to something as unknown as time travel, one must always think of the worst-case scenario. Therefore, everything needs to be prepared in triplicate: one for use, one as a backup, and one as a backup in case the backup is used up.
As Xiao Fen narrated, the two arrived at the secret room behind Xiao Fen's room. Xiao Hei and Berserker sat on either side of the door like two door gods, and inside, Xiao Hong was watching from the side and Xiao Lan was making adjustments.
" The Magic Circle for crossing has been reinforced and self-recharged with Soul Power, allowing us to return at any time. However, to prevent external interference, I have arranged for Xiao Hei and Berserker to guard it around the clock."
Wu Ling nodded in satisfaction at Xiao Fen's meticulousness. As for Xiao Hei and Berserker's opinions, what were they? Did the Berserker need any more opinions?
"Finally, here, put this on." With that, Xiao Fen took out a black jumpsuit from her Storage Ring and handed it to Wu Ling.
Wu Ling took it, examined it closely, and then suddenly ripped it open. To his surprise, he found that he couldn't even tear the garment in the Sisi with his strength. "What is this?"
"It's a special outfit used to traverse turbulent time-space currents, Void, and Imaginary Number Space. Of course, for defensive purposes, it's inscribed with a large number of Magic Circle, which drastically reduces its speed and portability. So, it's practically useless except when you're traveling through time."
Of course, the main reason is that your physical strength is not enough, and the quality of your Soul Power is still a bit low, so you can't defend yourself in the Void. Once you become stronger, you won't need to."
Wu Ling indicated that he understood, then changed into his formal attire as if he were wearing a tin can, and put Xiao Fen back into his body.
Wu Ling nodded to Xiao Lan. With Xiao Lan's unified operation, the Magic Circle on the ground gradually lit up, and a huge amount of Soul Power condensed into a small tornado that appeared above the house. If Wu Ling hadn't been keeping the Magic Circle surrounding the house active, its sheer power would have attracted the attention of the entire city.
Even on the wall where Wu Ling was, there were specks of liquid, which was the result of the Soul Power being too concentrated and liquefying!
Under the immense compression of Soul Power, the space around Wu Ling gradually collapsed, but when that collapsed space touched Wu Ling, it was blocked outside his body by the formal attire he was wearing.
Finally, Wu Ling waved to Xiao Lan and said, "Well then, I'm leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Magic Circle was empty.
