A Meteor Falls from the Sky
[Heaven Dou Empire] Southwest, Fasinuo Province, a certain wilderness.
Under the bright moonlight, the earth was draped in a layer of silver gauze, creating a hazy, beautiful scene.
Beside a bonfire glowing orange-yellow, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao each held a branch skewered with pheasants and rabbits. Under the licking of the orange flames, the roasted chickens and rabbits turned a bright, oily yellow, and a fragrant aroma filled the surroundings.
Beside her, Tang Yuehua sat cross-legged, the Azure Nether Divine Sword lying across her knees, silently cultivating her Soul Power.
Not long ago, she took advantage of the opportunity to comprehend the "Breeze Sword Intent" to push her Soul Power to level 20 in one fell swoop. Then, with the support of her eldest Tang Xiao and second Tang Hao, she hunted Tang Yuehua a "Wind Roar Rabbit" that was over 900 years old on her own. With the amplification of this Soul Beast's Soul Ring, her Soul Power reached level 22 in one go.
At this moment, with the barrier above her head broken again, Tang Yuehua was unwilling to give up even a moment of cultivation time before the next barrier appeared, just in order to make herself stronger as quickly as possible.
"Sizzle—"
The oil dripped onto the red-hot charcoal, making a sizzling sound that tickled the ears, and the rich aroma became even stronger, relentlessly wafting into the nostrils of the three siblings.
At one point, just as Tang Hao was about to pick up the roasted rabbit in his hand, cut off a small piece of rabbit meat to taste whether it was cooked or salty, he suddenly had an idea and looked up at the sky in the southeast direction.
Beside him, Tang Xiao noticed Tang Hao's movements and followed his brother's gaze to the southeast horizon.
Just then, a golden meteor shot into the sky, trailing a long golden streak of light, and appeared in the eyes of the two brothers.
"Huh?!" / "What's that?!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao subconsciously voiced their doubts.
Upon hearing these two questions, Tang Yuehua, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened them and looked at her two elder brothers.
In the span of just two or three breaths, the golden meteor had already soared into the heavens, merging with the countless stars and becoming indistinguishable from one another.
Therefore, in Tang Yuehua's eyes, she only saw her two older brothers looking up at the stars.
"Big brother, second brother, when did you suddenly start looking at the stars?!" Tang Yuehua asked sweetly, a beautiful smile curving her lips.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao did not respond to Tang Yuehua's words immediately, but instead exchanged a serious glance.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the strange expressions on her two elder brothers' faces, Tang Yuehua's smile faded slightly, and she asked again.
"I don't know," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yuehua frowned. "I don't know?! Then..."
"Look--!"
Tang Hao suddenly shouted, interrupting Tang Yuehua's next words, and pointed to the southeast sky. "Over there—!"
Subconsciously, Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao looked up at the same time.
On the dark night sky dotted with stars, the starlight gradually grew larger and brighter.
"That is..."
Tang Yuehua stared wide-eyed at the streaks of light falling from the sky, each trailing a fiery tail. "Meteors—?!"
Hearing Tang Yuehua's slightly surprised words, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, who were looking up at the streaks of shooting stars in the sky, became extremely solemn.
Although they weren't sure if these meteors were related to the golden streak that had just shot into the sky, they both had a strong feeling that it was highly likely!
On the other side, in the "Blue Silver Valley" of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Ling Yi stood tall, looking up at the dark sky, his mind rising rapidly along with the soaring "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade".
One breath, above 8,000 meters, within the troposphere.
Two breaths later, at an altitude of 15,000 meters or more, we entered the stratosphere.
Three breaths, four breaths, five breaths...
After about twenty breaths, Ling Yi's consciousness attached to the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" began to dissipate.
At this point, if Ling Yi's senses were not wrong, the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" enveloped in the power of lightning and magnetism had already reached a height of more than 200,000 meters above the ground!
When Ling Yi longer sense his own consciousness, he could only rely on the bloodline connection between himself and the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade Sword" to perceive the direction of its presence, but he could no longer judge the distance between himself and it.
At one point, the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" seemed to have collided with something, its increasingly rapid speed was abruptly stopped, and then it disintegrated into countless energy particles that vanished without a trace.
In the center of the valley, Ling Yi had a sudden inspiration. He clenched his right hand in front of him, and specks of bright silver light jumped out from the void, instantly forming a "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" about two and a half meters long!
At the same time, the gigantic "Erlang" phantom surrounding Ling Yi also made the same move, holding a four-meter-long, Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade energy phantom in its palm. A golden dragon circled around Ling Yi, with occasional golden arcs of electricity appearing on the dragon's body before disappearing in an instant.
With the support of two Qi and Blood- type Soul Skill, "Thunder Dragon Battle Markings," Ling Yi's physique is strengthened tenfold. Furthermore, with the support of his Second Martial Soul, "Erlang," the power unleashed by "Magnetic Field Rotation" can now stably unleash the power of 10,000 horsepower.
As mentioned earlier, one horsepower is roughly equal to seventy-five kilograms.
To be precise, one horsepower is roughly equivalent to the work done in moving a 75-kilogram object one meter in one second.
Ten thousand horsepower is roughly equivalent to 750,000 kilograms, which is the force required to move a 750-ton object one meter.
How much does the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" that Ling Yi just threw into the sky weigh?
As a super weapon personally crafted by the Divine Craftsman Ling Yi rare metal ores such as "Cold Heart Iron Essence" and "Deep Sea Heavy Silver" as well as high-level Soul Beast materials such as "Demon Dragon Zixi", its own weight reaches 5,048 catties!
However, when Ling Yi threw the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" under the influence of electromagnetic force, its weight was reduced by more than a hundred times!
At the same time, because of the use of the "Super Electromagnetic Cannon" technique, combined with enormous force, the speed of the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" that shot into the sky reached more than 8,000 meters per second the moment it was launched!
Furthermore, the higher it ascended, the faster the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" became, gradually exceeding Ling Yi's control limits.
In terms of destructive power, Ling Yi didn't know if the gods of the Divine Realm could withstand it, but given this attack speed, he figured not many could dodge it.
Only then did Ling Yi, who was holding the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" and with "Thunder Dragon Battle Markings" constantly flowing around his body, feel a sense of relief.
After being reborn into this world for twenty-eight years, I have finally gained a little bit of the ability to protect myself!
Thinking of this, Ling Yi was in high spirits, and a genuine smile of joy appeared on his Wushuang face.
"Call--!"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi tried to calm his somewhat excited emotions, and said to himself, "Don't be arrogant or impatient. This kind of power is nothing. It's only good for bullying Titled Douluo Douluo. I wonder if there are any overpowered Soul Skill or divine skills that can counter this move—"
After all, even the supposedly Invincible Golden Body, which boasts absolute defense below the god level, was broken by Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation.
"Furthermore, it seems that in the later parts, or even in the side stories, the Divine Realm has even encountered black holes. Compared to that, this kind of offensive power, which doesn't even reach the speed of light, is not something to be complacent about..."
Thinking of this, Ling Yi instantly regained his composure.
Just then, Ling Yi, sensing something, raised his head and looked up at the night sky above.
What I could see was a series of tiny points of light streaking across the night sky, growing larger and larger.
"That's... a shooting star—?!"
Ling Yi murmured, then suddenly remembered something, and his eyes, as bright as stars, widened instantly:
"Holy crap—! That couldn't be...?"
What could it be?
A guess that even Ling Yi himself dared not believe arose in his mind:
These meteors were brought down by the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" I had just hurled at the heavens!
Because he seemed to vaguely sense that after the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" flew beyond his perception limit, it seemed to have collided with something, and then, under the rules of heaven and earth of Douluo Star, it disintegrated on its own and re-condensed and manifested from his bloodline.
So, were these meteors near-Earth objects recently struck down by the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade"?
Ling Yi by his own conjecture:
"No, isn't the outer space of Douluo Star a bit too low?"
Is it 300 kilometers?
In my past life, the rabbit's space stations were all in low Earth orbit at around 400 kilometers, right...?
"Also, there are meteorites everywhere outside, right? Otherwise, how could you have run into one so easily...?"
A jumble of thoughts popped up one after another, but that didn't stop Ling Yi from gathering his Soul Power into his eyes, strengthening his vision, and locking onto the meteorites falling from the sky.
He absorbed the "Erlang" energy phantom around him, the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" in his hand, and the two "Qi and Blood Soul Ring" under his feet into his body.
Then, a flash of pale golden lightning appeared on Ling Yi's body, and with a stomp of his foot on the ground, he leaped towards the cliff outside the "Blue Silver Valley".
In mid-air, a pale blue wind appeared around Ling Yi, making his leaping movements light and swift.
At the highest point of the western cliff face of the valley, Yang Shelly stood with her back to the valley, holding the "Soul-Breaking Hooked Scythe Spear" in her hand and the sky-blue "Thunder Hand" on both hands, with faint golden arcs of electricity flickering in and out.
The girl maximized her intuition and spiritual power, scrutinizing every unusual movement from all directions, all to protect the valley behind her and the person within it.
Suddenly, his naturally keen spiritual senses detected a change in the airflow behind him. He gripped the "Soul-Breaking Hooked Scythe Spear" tightly in his palm, turned around swiftly in a flash of lightning, mobilized his Soul Power, and was ready to unleash a thunderous strike.
However, in the instant after turning around, Yang Shelly saw Ling Yi's face, which was etched in her heart.
Instinctively, Yang Shelly spread her arms and rushed towards Ling Yi, who was walking through the air. "Brother Yi—!"
Pale blue ripples appeared beneath Ling Yi's feet. He took a step forward and pulled Yang Shelly into his arms before she rushed off the cliff.
"Alright, alright~"
His left arm encircled her slender waist, while his other hand gently stroked the girl's smooth, dark hair behind her back, as he softly comforted her, "I'm here—"
As he spoke, Ling Yi did not forget to watch the falling trajectories of the meteors and meteorites in the sky.
Sensing Ling Yi's movement, Yang Shelly Ling Yi stepped out of his arms. She first gazed at his face, so close to hers, with a Ling Yi look, then followed his gaze towards the sky. "A shooting star?"
The next day at dawn.
Ling Yi lay lazily on his bed, with Yang Shelly still fast asleep in his arms.
Within the brocade quilt, Ling Yi played with a smooth lump in his hand, while his mind Sea of Consciousness divided, conjuring a holographic map.
Based on the direction of those meteors' falls last night, as well as the time they lingered in the sky and the distances they traveled, most of them likely landed within the territory of the [Heaven Dou Empire], seemingly within the borders of the Fasinuo Province?
Looking at the corner of the map that he had marked in red with his thoughts, Ling Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Tsk! If only I had been better at math in my past life."
Although the red area on the map is not large, in reality it is a vast region spanning three thousand miles!
Fortunately, Ling Yi didn't need to go on foot to measure the distance to find his target.
He lowered his head and kissed Yang Shelly's smooth forehead. Amid the girl's murmured words, Ling Yi withdrew, causing the girl to unconsciously furrow her brow slightly.
After escaping the tiger's den, Ling Yi looked at the girl, whose expression still betrayed her exhaustion even in her dream, and gave up his plan to do morning exercises.
Yesterday, under the tempering of two "Qi and Blood Soul Ring" comparable to those of ten thousand years old, Ling Yi's physique reached a new level. Combined with his skillful and precise control of his strength, and his subtle techniques in using lightning power, he now dares to arrogantly say, "I can take on a hundred Soul King like Yang Shelly!"
However, after Ling Yi's all-night tutoring and instruction, Ling Yi Yang Shelly was able to break through to the level 60 in terms of Soul Power Qi and Blood, which she was already just one step away from.
This means that soon, after acquiring her Sixth Soul Ring, Yang Shelly will no longer be Soul King, but a Soul Emperor!
A 28-year-old Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor!
Carefully moving the now disconnected bodies apart, Ling Yi got up from the bed and tucked the blanket around the girl.
After washing up and getting dressed, Ling Yi left the bedroom and headed towards the training ground.
Ah Yin should be there right now.
Before long, when Ling Yi arrived at the training ground, sure enough, the figures of Ah Yin, Ah Rou, and Liu Erlong came into view.
"Good morning, Brother Yi (^_^)/" by Ah Rou and Liu Erlong
Good morning!
Ling Yi returned a bright smile to Ah Rou and Liu Erlong, and stepped over to Ah Yin's side.
Although Ah Yin smiled the moment Ling Yi appeared, it was clear that she had a little bit of emotion inside.
Ling Yi shook his head slightly. He didn't want to either, but neither Ah Yin nor Yang Shelly could accept that there was another student present when they were having tutoring with Teacher Ling.
Therefore, scheduling classes based on odd and even numbers is a last resort.
Without further thought, Ling Yi stepped forward, took Ah Yin's soft little hand, and whispered in the girl's round, jade-like earlobe, "..."
Not far away, Ah Rou and Liu Erlong strained their ears, but heard nothing. They only saw Ah Yin's pretty face turn bright red in an instant.
After giving the two girls a meaningful look, Ling Yi took Ah Yin's small hand and intertwined their fingers, palms facing each other.
A shimmering blue light appeared, and the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Blue Silver Domain," was activated, with invisible fluctuations spreading in all directions.
Under Ling Yi's control, these invisible fluctuations gradually began to subside and headed towards the Fasinuo Province of the [Heaven Dou Empire] in the northwest.
