Go Yourself

"That goes without saying."

Lin Yi smiled as he mentioned how well these two girlfriends treated him.

"Although I initially felt a bit troubled by the relationship between the three of us, I also understand their sincerity toward me. Therefore, I don't intend to hurt any of them. I want to be with them both at the same time. Even if everyone fails to understand me and calls me a scoundrel, that won't change my resolve."

"Good ambition."

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong clapped their hands, each hooking an arm around Yu Xiaogang.

"I say, you should let go of those thoughts in your heart now, shouldn't you? Look at this young man; he doesn't care about worldly attitudes. Besides, how much does the world's opinion really have to do with you anyway?"

"I know."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, his face flushing as he still held the two women's hands firmly.

"With you by my side, I feel like life has changed. Alright, let me tell Lin Yi about some of the rules for going to Slaughter City."

"There's no need for that much trouble."

Lin Yi smiled indifferently. "Master, I know that the first thing you must do when going to Slaughter City is drink the Yellow Spring Dew. However, that stuff isn't actually a good thing; it could be called a life-stealing substance. It appears to stabilize the mind, but in reality, it lets you fall into that place filled with slaughter at any moment."

"Truly insightful."

When Yu Xiaogang looked over, a hint of admiration appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"You kid must have pondered this quite a bit in the past. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to know about something like the Yellow Spring Dew. Besides that, you should also know what can be obtained by going to Slaughter City."

"The God of Slaughter Domain!"

Lin Yi answered unhurriedly, a faint smile on his face.

"I have heard of this thing, but I have never actually seen it. In truth, it is difficult enough just to have a chance to go and see it; most people wouldn't be overly stubborn about it, but I am not most people. I have actually hoped to go to Slaughter City for a long time, and furthermore, I want to walk the Hell Road."

"You can go and try it right now."

Yu Xiaogang appeared even more anxious than Lin Yi, his eyes filled with joy.

"Given your talent, you will certainly be able to complete the hundred trials in Slaughter City without much effort. However, the only thing to be nervous about is whether the King of Slaughter will stop you because of your identity. After all, you are the Dragon God now; as a deity, they will inevitably be frightened."

"Then why not just be open and tell them I am the Dragon God and that I want to go in for the trials?"

Lin Yi smiled quite calmly, his gaze resolute.

"Master, don't you worry about this matter. Since I am going, I won't let myself go in so blindly. Therefore, I will definitely find a way!"

Yu Xiaogang stared at Lin Yi, then nodded with a gratified smile.

"Little San had the same courage back in the day. I believe that as long as you dare to go, it won't be long before you become even more successful than Tang San."

"Thank you, Master, but my goal is not to be more successful, but to become stronger! I want to surpass Brother San, but my ultimate goal is the God of Destruction. I want to let that arrogant ancient god see that even if he is powerful, we can still surpass him!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

At this moment, he saw a stubbornness in Lin Yi, but it was not a dangerous kind of stubbornness; it was a pursuit of excellence in life.

Walking over slowly, Yu Xiaogang placed his hand on Lin Yi's shoulder, his black pupils filled with a hint of approval.

"You are good. Being able to face difficulties head-on under such pressure already proves that you are a qualified Soul Master. What you need to do next is to stabilize your own power. You should know that what you lack is not anything else, but the stability of the power in your hands, so that this power can protect the people around you, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Lin Yi bowed deeply.

"Since Master has commanded it, I will certainly comply. However, so that there are no hindrances, I intend to set off alone."

"No!"

Huang Ruolin and Zhao Zhiying revealed panicked expressions at the same time. "If you are to face danger, you should be with us. How can you face it alone? Even if you don't want to involve your friends here, Sister Ying and I are the people closest to you, you..."

Lin Yi pulled their hands away, his expression even more resolute.

"It is precisely because you are important people that I cannot let you go. I am a man; can you please understand a man's pride and dignity? What I want to do is protect you, not be protected by you!"

As he spoke, Lin Yi swept his gaze toward Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.

"Both of you seniors have exceptional abilities; I hope you can teach them some things."

Lin Yi said, then turned his gaze toward Huo Yuhao beside him.

"I know you can open a barrier, so just send me to the outskirts of Slaughter City. I am willing to start from the very first step."

"Really?"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "Since you are so confident, then proceed according to your plan. However, just as Master said, be careful once you get there. We will keep an eye on everything you do!"
