Wu Ling took a sip of the Vast Sea Nectar, savoring the taste of this top ten famous wine. "Not bad, not bad. Although the effect is somewhere between ordinary potions and Immortal Herb potions, the key point is the good taste."
Setting down his wine glass, Wu Ling turned to Xiao Fen, who was studying Magic Core, and asked, " Xiao Fen, how long have we been out here?"
Xiao Fen thought for a moment, then replied while crushing the Magic Core, "It's been almost five months. It took half a month from Douluo to Zither Emperor Zither Emperor World Zither Emperor World, and another half a month to get to the Yin Yang Crown World. I've been playing and exploring here for more than a month now."
Wu Ling stretched, stood up from the recliner, walked to the window, and looked at the crowds coming and going below. Suddenly, Wu Ling said, "Hmm... I'm getting a little bored."
Xiao Fen understood what Wu Ling meant; since he said he was bored, it meant he wanted to go back.
Then, Wu Ling said to himself, "The reasons I want to travel to different worlds are threefold: first, I want to see different worlds; second, I want to obtain things that are not available in my original world to improve my strength; and third, I want to study different cultivation systems in order to break through my own limits."
After saying that, Wu Ling sighed, turned around and sat back down on the recliner. "That's how it always is when I read crossover anime novels, but in the end, I forgot that I'm in a fantasy world."
The fantasy world isn't like some Japanese anime where you can become stronger by eating fruit or getting new eyes. Here, there's a precise cultivation system where every bit of power is earned step by step through hard work. External objects may be useful, but most of them aren't very effective. Or rather, I shouldn't have any illusions about the world surrounding Douluo World.
However, the harvest was barely acceptable. In the Zither Emperor World, there was a humanoid Spirit Tool, the Long Wu, crafted from the remains of Sacred Dragon, with combat power comparable to Super Douluo; two Golden Armored Forbidden Insect capable of unleashing a full-force attack from an ordinary Titled Douluo in an instant; and some wine from the Yin Yang Crown World.
"Don't forget, there are also some ordinary Bone Dragon souls. These are top-quality materials for making Dragon Bone Soldier. When we get back, we can not only upgrade the main Workshop, but also complete the final step in the transformation of the entire Spirit City," Xiao Fen added from the side.
"Well, anyway... let's go back."
Hearing Wu Ling's decision, Xiao Fen continued her experiment, saying, "You're the boss, so I'll listen to you. But I need another night to finish inscribing that Portable Magic Circle, so let's wait another night."
"One night," Wu Ling, raising his wine cup and taking a sip. Gazing at the moon that had appeared before nightfall, he sighed, "If I were a protagonist, a lot could probably happen in one night. I remember reading a novel where two hundred chapters were written about the events of a single night. But if I were the protagonist, I'd probably just gloss over it. So, I guess I'm not the protagonist after all!"
Xiao Fen, unfazed by Wu Ling's sentiments, cut to the chase and stated the reason directly. "If you had helped that woman three nights ago, you probably wouldn't be here saying these things now."
"... But I don't know that woman, she doesn't fit my aesthetic, she doesn't look rich, and most importantly, she exudes an aura of trouble from every hair on her body, so I'll just let her fend for herself."
"Hmph, mind your own business. Now you know why you're so free."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault, alright?"
"Main body." In the Void, Xiao Fen, who was on duty, woke up Martial Wu Ling, who was still resting with his eyes closed.
"What's wrong? Are we almost there?" Wu Ling asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes, we'll be arriving at the Douluo Continent in just a few hours, but there's been a slight hiccup."
Upon hearing Xiao Fen's words, Wu Ling immediately perked up. If something happened in the Void, he would be crippled even if he didn't die!
"Tell me in detail what happened."
Wu Ling relayed the aura she had just detected to Wu Ling: "When we passed through a Spacetime Distortion Zone, I detected a powerful aura. Although the quantity was very small, the quality was exceptionally high. Its quality is probably no weaker than Qian Daoliu's. Most importantly, its direction of travel is towards the Douluo Continent!"
Wu Ling frowned. He didn't recall any outsiders in Douluo I, unless... they were transmigrators like him.
"Small in number but of comparable quality to the souls of Qian Daoliu, could they be transmigrators of the Long Aotian type, the kind with a system inside them?"
Moreover, the fact that the time travel is so close to the start of the plot suggests that the soul will likely be directly transmigrated into the body of another being.
The key point is that, as fellow transmigrators, even setting aside the possibility that he might be a supporter of Tang San, or even if he favors the Spirit Hall, he could still disrupt my plans at any time.
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain, let alone a transmigrator." Thinking of this, Wu Ling's eyes gradually turned ruthless.
" Xiao Fen, is it still possible to track him down?"
Without hesitation, Xiao Fen gave Wu Ling a route; she had already guessed Wu Ling's thoughts when she discovered that existence.
"Alright, follow him. Under the extreme burst of power, Long Wu can temporarily rival Limit Douluo. Add my domain, and even if he transmigrates into Qian Daoliu's body, I will still kill him!"
Even if neither of those two works, considering we're both transmigrators, it's worth sacrificing my life for." As he spoke, Wu Ling was more solemn and serious than ever before, and the coldness in his tone made it seem as if he wasn't the one about to be killed...
In the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest, a powerful spiritual force suddenly erupted.
Just then, the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment before, suddenly darkened. A thunderous roar resounded high in the sky, and in that instant, the sunlight was completely blocked by darkness. An immense, suffocating pressure descended from the heavens.
As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which was striving to merge itself into the girl's body, trembled violently when the thunderous roar resounded, its two small golden eyes rolled upwards to look at the sky. A look of horror immediately appeared in its eyes, along with a hint of bewilderment. Clearly, the oppressive atmosphere in the sky had nothing to do with it and was beyond its comprehension.
A gray stream of air, as if encountering a tremendous suction force, descended from the sky and, in an instant, landed on the back of the girl's head and quietly entered her.
"What dares to try and steal my person?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm roared in fury, unleashing a massive surge of mental energy in an attempt to expel the gray aura from the girl's body.
A blurry figure emerged behind the girl, and an aged voice, carrying an indescribable air of authority, rang out, "Holding the Sun Moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never imagined that a remnant of my soul would remain."
Faced with the immense mental power of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the blurry, illusory figure seemed completely unaffected, disappearing into the back of the girl's head with a "whoosh."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm dared not increase its mental attack any further, for blood was already seeping from the girl's seven orifices. It also discovered that after the gray energy entered the girl's mind, it immediately transformed into a gray bead the size of a soybean, and then fell silent. It neither conflicted with its power nor was it affected by its power.
Then, in the next second, the sky suddenly darkened again, accompanied by a deafening roar, and Wu Ling emerged from the Void.
