Heading to Slaughter City, aiming for the Asura God's throne!
The following week, campus life suddenly returned to peace and tranquility.
No one bothered him or bothered him; everything was in perfect order.
Ning Wen was much the same as when he was in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; he spent his days either cultivating or finding a good spot to bask in the sun!
After several days of adjustment and adaptation, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing have gradually integrated into the Skywater Academy.
Although they cannot use the Mimicry Training Ground in Mirror Lake due to their Martial Soul attributes, they can share other resources.
For example, the cultivation manuals in the library, the combat equipment in the training ground, and the medicinal herbs and Soul Tool that aid cultivation.
It must be said that Skywater Academy does have some historical and cultural foundation.
Some of these ancient texts are not even found in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The extreme flow culture system used, while somewhat extreme, is not without its merits!
In fact, considering the current era, it's already quite good!
With the enthusiastic help and patient explanations from Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and other core students of Tianshui, they quickly became familiar with the academy's rules, cultivation environment, and training rhythm.
Xiao Wu remained as lively, agile, and energetic as ever.
After finishing his daily cultivation, he would drag Ning Rongrong around to explore. His curiosity was boundless, and in just a few days, he had explored all the pavilions, woodlands, and lakeside of the entire island in the middle of the lake.
She gets along well with many younger students and is very popular.
Zhu Zhuqing is usually quiet and reserved, with an introverted and calm personality, and dislikes noise and bustle.
But with the company of several people and the relaxed atmosphere, they were able to enjoy themselves.
Zhu Zhuqing gradually shed her initial restraint and wariness, and occasionally joined in. A gentle smile often appeared between her cool and aloof brows, making her much more vibrant and tender than before.
A few more days passed.
Sunlight filters through the weeping willows on the island in the middle of the Skywater Academy's lake, scattering golden dapples that fall onto the bluestone path along the lake.
Ning Wen leaned against a huge ancient willow tree, his back against the rough trunk, his eyes slightly closed, letting the warm sunlight envelop his whole body.
He didn't deliberately circulate his Soul Power while meditating; he simply closed his eyes to rest, his whole body relaxed, as if he had merged with the surrounding lake, grass, and trees.
Not far away, Xiao Wu was squatting by the lake with Ning Rongrong, holding a few large lotus leaves in her hands, teasing the colorful koi swimming back and forth in the water, their clear laughter occasionally drifting over on the wind.
"Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, look! This big red and gold fish is huge!" Xiao Wu shook the lotus leaf in her hand, splashing up tiny water droplets.
Zhu Zhuqing sat quietly on a stone bench to the side, looking down at something, but unconsciously listening to the two people's conversation, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Ning Wen, however, was considering something.
He is now strong enough, and he has seized all the opportunities he could. Now all he lacks is the Sea God's Heart, which is the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
This is, after all, a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, and acquiring it won't be easy, but there's no rush.
In this situation, should he go to the Slaughter City?
Ning Wen quickly made a decision.
The Slaughter City a den of the fallen, known to the outside world as a "Criminals' Paradise."
There are no rules in the Slaughter City; killing is permitted.
Anyone who enters must drink "Yellow Springs Dew," made from human blood, to enhance their Soul Power. However, "Yellow Springs Dew" is poisonous and will gradually erode one's mind.
Meanwhile, within the Slaughter City, Soul Master cannot use Soul Skill.
Ning Wen wasn't worried about either of these points at all!
He had long ago consumed two Immortal Herb, the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, to forge a body immune to all poisons.
The corrosive and highly toxic properties of the Yellow Springs Dew were completely ineffective against him.
The fact that Soul Skill cannot be used inside the Slaughter City has no effect on Ning Wen.
After all, Ning Wen may not have much combat experience, but he has the Asura Armor!
His primary source of damage comes from the skills inherent in the Asura Armor.
This skill is independent of the Soul Master system and is not bound by the rules of the City of Slaughter City.
The skills attached to most of his Soul Ring are amplification skills.
Without these, the impact is actually not that significant!
"Xiao Wu, Sister Yan, Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, I plan to leave here for a while, maybe a few years."
At this moment, Ning Wen suddenly spoke up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter and chatter by the lake abruptly stopped.
The lotus leaf Xiao Wu was holding fell onto the water with a "plop," creating ripples that startled the group of koi carp that were scrambling for the bait.
She turned her head abruptly, her round eyes widening, the smile on her face vanishing instantly, and she quickly ran to Ning Wen.
"Several years? Brother Wen, where are you going? Why have you been gone for so long?"
Xiao Wu's voice carried a hint of panic. "Isn't Skywater Academy good enough? If all else fails, we can go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"Huh? Where are you going? Why is it taking so long?"
Ning Rongrong also put away her playful mood and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Zhu Zhuqing had been sitting quietly on the stone bench, also stood up, walked quickly to the side of the group, her pupils slightly contracted, and she stared at Ning Wen silently without making a sound.
But her tense body betrayed her inner unease.
"The Slaughter City." Ning Wen made no attempt to hide anything, uttering that name that struck fear into the hearts of many.
"What? Ning Wen, that place is full of fallen ones, it's so dangerous, what are you going there for?"
Ning Rongrong shuddered, her face instantly turning pale, her expression filled with disbelief.
Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was forced to read extensively from a young age, so she naturally knew what the Slaughter City —a paradise for the fallen.
[Slaughter City city!]
What's so scary?
[Just a bunch of cowards being hunted down by the Spirit Hall!]
My goal for this This Seat is the Asura God!
Seeing the shocked and worried looks on their faces, Ning Wen remained calm and slowly explained, "I know the Slaughter City dangerous, but I need something there."
"Then I want to go too." Xiao Wu's eyes were determined.
"No." Ning Wen shook his head firmly. "That place is too dangerous for you."
"I..." Xiao Wu bit her lip, wanting to say something more.
"Obedient."
Ning Wen gently reassured him, "Wait here patiently for me."
Xiao Wu hesitated for a long time, feeling extremely reluctant to part with him.
Seeing Ning Wen's serious expression, and knowing that he had made up his mind, she could only nod and reply, "Alright, then you must come back safely."
Ning Wen, you should think this through!
Beside her, Ning Rongrong frowned and quickly advised, "The Slaughter City has no morality or bottom line; it's full of corrupt people, and you can't use Soul Skill there!"
"Don't worry! You know me, I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning!"
Ning Wen smiled faintly.
[This Seat clad in Asura Armor and wield the Kunlun Mirror!]
[Don't Slaughter City capital!]
Even if I were to go to the Divine Realm, I would not fear in This Seat slightest!
