Before dawn, he found Jing Hongchen and formally applied to go out.
"Are you looking for Soul Beast that suits you?"
Jing Hongchen frowned.
"Where are you going? Is it Star Dou Great Forest?"
Now, there are only more than two months left before the start of the competition. If something happens to Lu Ren, all his previous investments will be in vain.
"I will arrange for two Level 9 Soul Engineer to accompany you----" Jing Hongchen said and called for someone.
"No, I'm enough on my own."
Lu Ren shook his head.
"Master, you should prepare Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone after I complete the transaction. I will be back soon."
Jing Hongchen stared into his eyes for a long time and finally sighed.
He could never refuse this look.
"Okay. Go back early and don't die outside, otherwise I will suffer a big loss from Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
97
Lu Ren smiled, turned around and strode outside the academy.
The morning light was just right, rising from the horizon, coating his slender figure with a layer of pale golden light.
Behind him, Jing Hongchen stood with his hands behind his hands, watching the figure disappear into the skyline of Mingdu, his eyes filled with anticipation that he was not even aware of.
This kid is going to do something big again.
Far North.
There was a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, and the cold wind carried ice particles whistling past Wasteland. The temperature was so low that even the white breath you exhaled would condense into frost in an instant.
The ice-covered mountains wind up and down in the distance like the backbone of Dragon. Underfoot is the frozen soil that has not melted for thousands of years. Every step you take makes a dull and hollow echo.
This is the restricted area of life, an extremely cold area where even Soul Beast must stick together to survive.
And in the depths of Far North, in a certain Ice Valley surrounded by a snowstorm, all plot developments are quietly unfolding according to the original timeline.
One of Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a super Soul Beast who has nearly reached the level of Four Hundred Thousand Years, is now trapped in the center by Remains of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
That translucent layer of silkworm slough is as thin as a cicada's wing, but it contains all the life essence of millions of years of Soul Beast. Even a person as strong as Ice Empress cannot easily break free.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is suspended above the silkworm slough, confronting Ice Empress in the form of a spiritual body.
"How about it? You have to think clearly. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back. If you miss this opportunity, you probably won't be able to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation."
Its voice carries a sense of excitement and expectation that has been suppressed for millions of years. After living for so many years, it has had enough of hiding in Tibet, and now it finally sees the hope of turning over!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued, "If you don't agree, for my own immortality and for the strength of my master, I still have to turn you into Soul Ring."
"It's just that if you do this, you will lose your wisdom. You should know that after being trapped by me, I have too many ways to make you lose your life. At most, it will only be a little waste of time."
Ice Empress stared at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm coldly, and she was not in a hurry to answer the questions raised by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is not in a hurry, it has plenty of time.
"On one side is eternal life, on the other side is destruction. Which is lighter and which is more important, you have to think about it.
Under the threat of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Empress remained silent for a long time, and finally said the words that were destined to change her fate, "Do I have any other choice?"
At this time Ice Empress knew that he was forced into a blind corner.
Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is timid and cowardly, his millions of years of accumulation are by no means in vain.
She really can't break this layer Remains. As for self-destruction?
It's not that she hasn't thought about it, but Soul Beast is afraid of death. In order to survive, she is willing to compromise on anything.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was overjoyed, and his voice rose an octave. "You are indeed my favorite Bingbing! You will definitely feel lucky for today's choice in the future----"
"Tian Meng! If you, this loser, take advantage of me again, I will risk my life and you two will be buried with me!"
Ice Empress Suddenly Wrath, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's shadow suddenly appeared behind her, and the icy cold wave spread around like a tide.
"I don't believe it anymore. I can't blow up this cage even if I blow myself up. When the time comes, you two will die with me!"
The sound was so cold and stern that the snowstorm in Ice Valley stopped for a moment under the impact of the sound waves.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was startled, quickly shrank his mental body, and his tone immediately softened.
"Uh----don't be so heartless. I'm here just for you."
Ice Empress looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm coldly and said nothing.
Those eyes were filled with extremely complex emotions, unwillingness, humiliation, and an undeniable expectation for the so-called "eternal life".
She was indeed trapped and had no better choice.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice returned to the seriousness it should have when talking about business. "Okay, okay, I'll just agree. The next step is very simple. Release your Spiritual Origin. You don't expect me to release you just like that, do you? Your temper is not reassuring."
L
Everything is progressing according to the established track.
Ice Empress's Spiritual Origin is about to be released, the new God-Creation Plan is about to be launched, and Huo Yuhao will also get one of the most important opportunities in his life.
Huo Yuhao, who was standing aside, was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
One of Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a super Soul Beast who is close to Four Hundred Thousand Years. If she becomes his Second Martial Soul and Soul Ring, wouldn't he soar into the sky?
He couldn't help but clenched his fists, and his breathing became a little faster because of this.
However, at this moment, the howling sound of the blizzard suddenly changed its frequency.
It seemed like something was tearing through the wind and snow, rushing towards here at an extremely fast speed.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress sensed it almost at the same instant.
The expressions of the two powerful men standing at the top of the Soul Beast world changed drastically at the same time, and they suddenly turned in the same direction.
"Who is it?! Come out!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted sharply, and the golden spiritual body suddenly expanded several times, forming layers of spiritual shields around the silkworm slough.
Ice Empress's eyes were fixed on that windy and snowy place, but a turmoil arose in his heart.
This is the depth of Far North. The person who came here is not evil. Judging from the smell, it doesn't look like Soul Beast at all.
In the snowstorm, a figure slowly walked out.
He was a young man with a slender figure and a calm smile.
The blizzard automatically avoided around him, and the strong wind and ice particles seemed to hit an invisible barrier three feet away from him and quietly dissipated.
His steps were sloppy, but each step stepped on the weakest gap in the snowstorm. The harmony between man and heaven and earth reached a natural level.
Lu Ren stopped, spread out his hands, and wore his usual half-smile.
"The transaction went smoothly for both of you. Why don't you add me?"
That young face had a sunny smile that was harmless to humans and animals, but when this smile fell in Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes, it made his heart palpitate more than Far North's ten thousand years of ice.
The accident still happened!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's heart was filled with huge waves.
It had clearly calculated everything. Spiritual Power had scanned all the humans in Star Dou Great Forest, selected Huo Yuhao as the host with the greatest potential, and carefully laid out Far North for several months to ensure that Ice Empress would definitely fall into its trap.
But where did this boy come from? Why didn't his Spiritual Power scan detect him in advance?
Wait----
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's perception swept over Lu Ren's body, and then its mental body fluctuated violently.
"I'm a little familiar with you, a human being!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's memory was suddenly activated at this moment, and it shouted out loud, "A few months ago, did you appear in Star Dou Great Forest? Yes, that was that time! At that time, I sensed that you were also Soul Master from Spiritual System Martial Soul. I originally wanted to find you, but you ran away----"
Halfway through the words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice stopped abruptly.
It realized that it had slipped up.
Because its words are equivalent to a public admission that before it chose Huo Yuhao, Lu Ren was its first choice target.
Huo Yuhao is just the next best thing.
But why is this?
Because it couldn't lock Lu Ren's position at all at that time. At that time, Lu Ren had the Electrolux and Remnant soul auras on him that interfered with his mental perception, and he had already lost the opportunity when he was in Star Dou Great Forest.
Later, Huo Yuhao happened to appear within its sensing range. After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was unable to find Lu Ren, it had no choice but to fall back and choose Huo Yuhao.
And after hearing what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, Huo Yuhao, who was standing aside, had an indescribably complicated expression on his face.
He looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then at Lu Ren, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It turns out that Brother Sky Dream's first choice is not himself, but this boy.
This is not surprising, the other party's conditions are much better than his own, and that Spiritual Power, just the aftermath of it accidentally escaping, has already made him Spirit Eyes Martial Soul Spiritual Detection feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Even my own Spiritual Detection couldn't detect the other party's approach at all!
One can imagine how strong the opponent is!
Lu Ren looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's embarrassed reaction with a smile, but did not expose it.
He shifted his target and focused his gaze on the figure in the center of the silkworm slough, Ice Empress.
Even though he was trapped in Remains, Ice Empress still maintained the arrogant attitude of Far North Heavenly King. There was no panic in his eyes, only inspection and sizing, and a trace of doubt.
Then Lu Ren turned his gaze to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and dispelled the aura covering his body.
Two purple, two black, four Soul Ring slowly rose from the feet, emitting a dazzling light in the snowstorm.
Immediately afterwards, Spirit Abyss Realm's peak level Spiritual Power was released without reservation.
That was a Spiritual Power power that far exceeded what his cultivation level could carry!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental body suddenly shrank.
Ice Empress's eyes showed obvious fluctuations for the first time.
"This is----Spiritual Power from Soul King level?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was out of tune, "I believe it even if you say it's Titled Douluo!"
Its perception is frantically scanning every corner of Lu Ren. Yes, the aura shield has been dispelled, and the Soul Power fluctuations clearly tell it that this human being is only Level 50.
But Level 50's Soul King, how can it be possible to have this level of Spiritual Power?
This is no longer a genius, this is against the will of heaven!
"As expected, he was the candidate that I liked, but it's a pity that he ran away!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt extremely sorry. If he hadn't run away, he wouldn't have found Huo Yuhao.
The conditions of Huo Yuhao are really bad!
Ice Empress's eyes fell on Lu Ren. There was a Spiritual Power Barrier in this human being that even she couldn't penetrate.
This is not an ordinary defense, but some kind of higher-level power shielding, like a layer of pale golden light film covering his Spiritual Origin, making her Spiritual Power probe like a mud cow sinking into the sea.
Moreover, she smelled a completely unusual scent.
It was neither Soul Power nor Spiritual Power. It was a kind of energy fluctuation that she had never encountered on the Douluo Continent.
"Boy, what are you here for?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice had a hint of obvious uneasiness, and his golden mental body trembled slightly above the silkworm's slough, "Is it possible that you are here to steal someone from me?"
"Yes." Lu Ren nodded calmly.
This crisp answer made Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental body twitch violently.
Ice Empress also raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She has lived for nearly Four Hundred Thousand Years and has seen countless humans, but Lu Ren this is the first strange human being she has seen.
"I think it's a bit of a waste for Your Majesty Ice Empress, as a strong Soul Beast generation, to just follow your master."
Lu Ren said with a smile and an understatement. He raised his hand, pointed his index finger in the direction of Huo Yuhao, and then gestured to himself. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"In terms of conditions, am I not better than him? If Your Majesty Ice Empress is willing to choose me, I will welcome it very much. I will not even use such means to trap Your Majesty. Instead, I will be absolutely open and honest and let her choose whether to cooperate with me, instead of forcing her to bow her head with imprisonment and threats."
"You fart!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally couldn't bear it any longer, and his voice suddenly rose an octave higher. His golden spiritual body surged several times, forming the shadow of a giant silkworm baby above the silkworm slough, crushing towards Lu Ren like a landslide.
"You alone are still trying to execute God-Creation Plan?
77
"Brother is the most critical link in the whole God-Creation Plan!"
"Without my millions of years of cultivation and my Spiritual Origin knowledge, this God-Creation Plan would be impossible to achieve!"
"Besides, how can you, a little Soul Ancestor, absorb Ice Empress as Soul Ring? Ice Empress is a super Soul Beast with a cultivation level close to Four Hundred Thousand Years. You simply can't bear her power!"
Lu Ren tilted his head and looked at him, the half-smiling expression on his face not at all affected by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Wrath.
"Really?"
he asked softly.
The next moment, a breath that made Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress tremble at the same time slowly rose from Lu Ren.
The young and handsome figure of Electrolux appeared behind Lu Ren.
He wore a loose robe, stepped on the void with bare feet, had long hair reaching his waist, and his facial features were so handsome that they were almost unreal.
But what made Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress tremble was not his appearance, but the aura on his body.
God!
It is the breath of God.
Even if Electrolux's soul is extremely weak at this time, even if there is only a ray of Remnant soul that has not fully recovered, he was once a real Demigod.
Between gods and mortal things, there is a gap between heaven and earth.
Just a faint breath of God Level is enough to solidify the Ice Valley air into stone, causing the roaring snowstorm to calm down instantly, and making even the proud Ice Empress breathe softly involuntarily.
"You, you - you are actually protected by a god?!"
Ice Empress's voice trembled for the first time.
Her eyes were fixed on the young and holy figure behind Lu Ren.
No wonder this human dared to break into the depths of Far North alone. No wonder he dared to speak nonsense in front of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. His confidence was never himself, but the real god behind him.
With the protection of God Level, does God-Creation Plan still need to rely on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?
A god, even a god in the Remnant soul state, has enough knowledge, methods, and vision to overwhelm Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's millions of years of accumulation.
Ice Empress's thoughts were completely shaken at this moment.
The look she looked at Lu Ren was no longer scrutinizing and sizing up, but instead had an extra layer of deep thought.
One side is trapped by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and forced to accept the compromise plan of eternal life.
On the other side is a young man who was protected by the existence of God Level, who offered to cooperate on an equal footing.
Not only that, this boy's conditions are much better than Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!
Both his cultivation and physical strength are far superior to that of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's little master in all aspects!
Not to mention that the other party has a god who knows everything!
If it were her, which one would she choose? The answer is obvious.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental body was also trembling violently.
Although it is famous for its wisdom and Spiritual Power, in front of the real God, its proud Spiritual Power is like a firefly to the bright moon.
God Level A strong person can completely paralyze its perception system with just one breath, let alone fight against it.
But fortunately, judging from the breath, it is just a touch of Remnant soul----
It's just that--when Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw the look in Ice Empress's eyes, he seemed to understand something.
I may not be able to keep my Bingbing!
After realizing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked instantly.
The spiritual body that belonged to it quickly withered like a deflated rubber ball, which had originally expanded to the extreme.
It is not afraid of Lu Ren. No matter how defiant a Soul King is, it is only Soul King, but it is afraid of the god behind Lu Ren!
No matter how weak it is, it is an existence it has never touched in its life.
It has been accumulated for millions of years and is as fragile as a joke in front of God.
Lu Ren looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's panicked look, and the smile on his lips became even thicker.
He tilted his head slightly and said in a casual tone, "You just said that without you, no one can carry the power of Ice Empress?"
"Do you think I am worthy enough to have my teacher sitting in charge?"
"You, you are cheating!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sharp voice exploded in Ice Valley, and the golden spiritual body trembled violently, pulling out twisted afterimages in the snowstorm.
"You actually have a god! This is unfair! I proposed God-Creation Plan first! Ice Empress is mine! I have spent so many years planning just to wait for this day, why do you come out halfway to snatch her away?!"
"Yours?"
Lu Ren snorted lightly.
"When did she become yours?"
"Also, I remember----you are threatening her, forcing her to choose you, right?"
Ice Empress's body shook violently.
That's right, from beginning to end, what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave her was not a choice at all, but coercion.
Lu Ren took a step forward, and the blizzard automatically parted beside him, and the frozen soil under his feet made a dull and solid echo under his tread.
He raised his eyes, looked directly at Ice Empress from the light, and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty Ice Empress, I will not threaten you. As a partner who sincerely cooperates with you, I will let you see my sincerity."
"In my hand, I have a copy of New Contract Between Soul Beast and Soul Master."
Lu Ren said, turning slightly sideways to let out the shadow of Electrolux behind him.
A faint smile appeared on the young and handsome face of Electrolux. He raised his slender fingers on his sleeve and looked a little empty. A light golden light shot out from the fingertips, penetrated the barrier of the silkworm slough, and accurately penetrated into the center of Ice Empress's eyebrows.
