Luo Yihe's Breakthrough

Tang San and Ning Rongrong's mouths twitched. Wasn't this just bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Soul master academies wouldn't kill anyone, so they could flirt and harass people however they pleased. In other words, if they ran into Luo Yihe and the others, wouldn't they tuck their tails between their legs?

Huh? Why did I think of Luo Yihe? I'm really obsessed.

Tang San had been bullied plenty by Luo Yihe during his childhood. He was precisely the kind of person who could be pushed around at will, so he still didn't quite agree with those words. What if he ran into someone with the same personality as Luo Yihe again? Wouldn't he be finished?

Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, Zhu Zhuqing came down the hotel stairs. She had come to save food for Luo Yihe. What if he woke up hungry at night and the restaurant had already closed? So every evening, Zhu Zhuqing would have the owner prepare a table of food in advance and keep it for her, ensuring Luo Yihe would not go hungry when he woke up.

The moment Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing, his expression turned extremely ugly. He rose to go find her.

But Tang San swiftly stopped him. He truly did not want to make an enemy of Luo Yihe. That guy had practically no bottom line and held grudges terribly.

Tang San shook his head at Dai Mubai without saying anything. Since Zhu Zhuqing was here, Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe had to be nearby too. Unless Zhao Wuji went all out, Tang San did not think any of them could come out ahead.

Dai Mubai understood what Tang San meant. Zhu Zhuqing being here meant that Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe were here as well. Watching his fiancée stay in a hotel with other men, Dai Mubai ground his teeth until they creaked.

At that moment, the people from Canghui Academy found an opportunity and directly splashed the delicacies the waiter was carrying onto Dai Mubai and the others.

Dai Mubai had been distracted because of Zhu Zhuqing, while Tang San was still wondering what Luo Yihe and the others were doing in Star Dou Forest.

So no one had time to catch the dishes in the waiter's hands, and they landed right on Dai Mubai's head.

After Dai Mubai let out a miserable scream, a fierce battle erupted between both sides.

The outcome went without saying. Canghui Academy suffered a crushing defeat. None of the seven had soul power above rank thirty, and some even had white soul rings. They were simply no match for the Shrek students.

Then Canghui Academy's teacher could no longer sit still.

"Stop! I am Ye Zhiqiu, Director of External Affairs at Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Ye Zhiqiu stepped in front of his students, blocking the Shrek group as he released his martial soul and soul rings.

"We're from Shrek Academy."

This time, Ma Hongjun spoke first. When he mentioned Shrek Academy, he looked immensely pleased with himself, clearly holding his academy in the highest regard.

As he spoke, his beady eyes never left the female students of Canghui Academy.

The female student had suffered some injuries in the earlier fight, and her clothes had been slightly torn. This kept Ma Hongjun's wicked fire burning, and he looked as though he wanted to devour her alive.

Ye Zhiqiu frowned. He had noticed something wrong with Ma Hongjun as well, so he shifted his body and shielded the girl behind him.

"Shrek Academy? I've never heard of it. Is your teacher here? I'd like to have a talk with him."

Dai Mubai snorted. "That only shows how ignorant you are. You're just a Soul King. What makes you worthy of speaking with our Shrek teacher alone?"

A cold glint flashed through Ye Zhiqiu's eyes as the Black Tortoise possessed him.

Just as he was about to attack, waves of invisible fluctuations suddenly spread through the hotel, one after another.

Meanwhile, Mew was still at Lake of Life, playing with more than twenty little Emerald Swans. It suddenly sensed the familiar ripples, raised its little head to look around, then looked at the little swans following behind it.

A dimensional portal suddenly appeared before Mew. It herded all the little Emerald Swans inside, then another dimensional portal appeared beside it, and it flew in as well.

Back at the hotel, Xiao Chenghe suddenly appeared before Zhu Zhuqing, who was watching the show from the hotel entrance.

"Zhuqing, let's go. There's a huge opportunity waiting for us."

Zhu Zhuqing froze. Though confused, she did not ask further and followed Xiao Chenghe away.

The Shrek group and Ye Zhiqiu did not make a move either, because the ripples were pulsing faster and more frequently. They could all feel their soul power stirring with excitement. Every soul master in the hotel sat cross-legged in unison and began instinctively circulating their soul power.

Xiao Chenghe led Zhu Zhuqing to the door of Luo Yihe's room.

"Come on. This is an incredible opportunity. Every time Brother Luo breaks through, he draws in an enormous amount of energy. Cultivating beside him for one day is worth at least a week of hard cultivation."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. This was the first time she had heard that breaking through to a new realm could gather energy and double the cultivation speed of those around him.

When Zhu Zhuqing entered Luo Yihe's room, she was even more shocked.

Behind Luo Yihe was a divine disk, surrounded by ten small spheres of light like suns.

Unable to control herself, Zhu Zhuqing was drawn forward and stared fixedly at one of the light spheres.

There was a Luo Yihe inside the sphere, but he did not look like the current Luo Yihe.

The Luo Yihe within the sphere stood tall and straight, exceptionally handsome, dressed in white-and-gold robes. Holy light shone across the land. Wherever he went became peaceful and tranquil. This Luo Yihe was like a saint who cared for all living beings, traveling across countless planets. Whenever there was suffering, he would appear like the sun, dressed in white-and-gold robes and standing atop a dazzling river of many colors.

Zhu Zhuqing watched for a long time. Luo Yihe's entire life seemed to be spent saving people. He never seemed to feel anger; he was simply a pure saint. Following his instincts, he traveled throughout the universe. He would not intervene rashly. Only when a planet had fallen into despair and begun kneeling in worship to the gods and Buddhas of heaven would Luo Yihe appear before everyone, standing atop that multicolored river.

Then Zhu Zhuqing saw a beautiful woman suddenly appear beside this saintly Luo Yihe. The two were holding hands as they strolled through a small courtyard in a bamboo forest. The woman held Luo Yihe's arm and rested her head on his shoulder, looking utterly happy.

When the woman suddenly turned around and looked toward Zhu Zhuqing inside the room, Zhu Zhuqing was so frightened that she staggered several steps back.

"Th-that... that was... me?"

Zhu Zhuqing could not believe it. Gathering her courage, she looked toward the light sphere again. When she saw herself inside it, she was utterly incredulous.

"Could it be that reincarnation truly exists in this world?"

As though she had sensed something, the Zhu Zhuqing inside the sphere also raised her head and looked toward Zhu Zhuqing in the room, even smiling at her.

Zhu Zhuqing was frightened back several more steps until she bumped into a wall and finally stopped.

Zhu Zhuqing gulped in deep breaths.

"Was that just an illusion?"

Xiao Chenghe smiled. "Looks like Zhuqing had a past with Brother Luo too!"

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing look at Xiao Chenghe.

"What... do you know?"

Xiao Chenghe put away all his usual frivolity and became serious in a way Zhu Zhuqing had never seen before. In her eyes, he seemed like a completely different person.

"The outcome I saw... was not a good one."

"Can... can you tell me?"

Xiao Chenghe smiled. "You might not like this story."

Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Is this... the future?"

"And the future... does not end well?"

Xiao Chenghe shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that what I saw... was not good."
