Lu Ren, who had always maintained a calm and unsmiling expression, could no longer maintain his calm and calm attitude in front of this Cursed Spirit.
He even saw Kurourushi's countless orange-red cockroach compound eyes staring at him, and when it just landed on his bed, Lu Ren's entire eye sockets were trembling slightly.
"Cursed Spirit Manipulation can actually do it to this extent, you guy----you gave me such a big surprise for the first time!"
Lu Ren resisted the urge to purify this guy directly with Reverse Cursed Technique, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
The insect he hates and fears the most, but the first one created by Cursed Spirit Manipulation was Special Grade Cursed Spirit Kurourushi, known as Cockroach King.
When this thing was on his Earth, his scalp felt numb just looking at it through the screen, let alone now that it was standing in front of him alive and touching his bed.
That's his bed!
Now that cockroaches have crawled on it, can I still have this bed?
Not to mention that this is not Twin Tails from Laoguang.
Lao Guang's Twin Tails is only about the size of a palm and can fly towards people. It is nothing compared to Kurourushi----
"Oh----"
Ice Empress and Snow Empress stood away silently almost at the same time.
The damp sewer-like smell and dirty feeling on Kurourushi's body was so penetrating that even though the thick black robe covered most of its body, both of them instinctively felt uncomfortable just thinking about what was covered under the black robe.
The moment Snow Empress stepped back, Kurourushi's countless orange-red compound eyes suddenly turned in her direction.
The next moment, a black shadow suddenly shot out from under the black robe.
That's a cockroach's hand!
It was covered with the chitin shell unique to cockroaches, and in its hand was a crudely shaped kitchen knife-like weapon that exuded strong Cursed Energy waves.
This knife, named "Festering Life Sword", is Cursed Tool that Kurourushi was born with.
Cursed Spirit, controlled by Cursed Spirit Manipulation, will not attack its owner, and Ice Empress and Electrolux are judged by Kurourushi to be one with Lu Ren, so that apart from them, there is only one outsider at the scene, Snow Empress.
Kurourushi roared and launched an attack on Snow Empress without fear of death.
Its instinct tells it that the energy quality of the woman in white in front of it is extremely high, and after devouring it, it is enough to increase its Cursed Energy by countless times!
But what Kurourushi doesn't understand is that the opponent is Far North, the first king of heaven, a super Soul Beast with 700,000 years of cultivation. Even if it is currently in a weak stage, it can be crushed to death at will.
"You are looking for death!"
Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes flashed with cold light, and a ray of extremely cold air condensed on his fingertips, preparing to freeze this dirty creature's soul into ice.
As the first heavenly king of Far North, being treated as prey by the lowest insect is an unforgivable offense in itself!
However, before her extremely cold energy could take action, Kurourushi's movements suddenly stopped.
The cockroach's arm holding Festering Life Sword hung stiffly in the air, its countless compound eyes lost their previous madness, and their light gradually became sluggish.
"Iron, I want the taste of iron!"
It murmured lowly, and the sound was like a mimicry language formed by the flapping of countless cockroaches mixed together.
But it didn't try to attack anyone anymore, it just floated quietly in place, its black robe automatic without wind.
"What's going on?"
Ice Empress couldn't help but look at Lu Ren.
"I just controlled it and made it quiet."
Lu Ren looked at Kurourushi with disgust on his face, his tone full of unabashed disgust.
"Although this guy is a little disgusting--but its combat power is quite strong. I judged it carefully and it has at least Titled Douluo level of combat power."
The gold content of Special Grade Cursed Spirit is there. According to Lu Ren's judgment, the current Kurourushi can at least compete with Titled Douluo.
If it can expand its domain, it can even threaten to reach the level of Super Douluo.
However, in the original work, Kurourushi did not perform any of the actions of Domain Expansion, and Lu Ren does not know whether it will, so for the time being it is assumed that it will.
After all, Cursed Spirit is generally easier to master Domain Expansion than Jujutsu Sorcerer. Kurourushi is second only to the four major natural disaster levels Special Grade Cursed Spirit. If it can't Domain Expansion, it would be too cheap.
But even if Kurourushi cannot Domain Expansion, its underworld combat mechanism is enough to compete with ordinary Titled Douluo.
"By the way, let me tell you briefly. Pay attention to the knife in its hand. It is its natural weapon, named "Festering Life Sword". Anyone struck by this knife will slowly rot from the wound."
"Not only that, Insect Eggs is stored in the blade cavity of Festering Life Sword. As long as you are hit by the knife or come into close contact, Insect Eggs can penetrate into your body, grow rapidly through your body, hatch out a large number of cockroaches, and then start to devour you from the inside of your body!"
This "Festering Life Sword" and Cursed Tool are so hellish.
As long as an ordinary person is stabbed, if there is no way to counterattack Insect Eggs, or there are no special circumstances - then it is no different from being sentenced to death.
Because of this, Kurourushi is very dangerous, and Special Grade Cursed Spirit is very powerful in combat.
It can be regarded as the top existence among Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Even Lu Ren, if he doesn't have Reverse Cursed Technique or other countermeasures, as long as he dares to attack Festering Life Sword, no matter how powerful his body is, he will dare to die on the spot for you to see.
What's more, what about those Soul Masters who don't understand the Kurourushi mechanism?
"I never imagined that something so disgusting could be so powerful?"
When Ice Empress saw Lu Ren giving such a high evaluation, Orange-Gold's eyes flashed with obvious surprise.
A cockroach, although disgusting, can be easily crushed to death.
But a cockroach that can compete head-on with Titled Douluo, or even kill Titled Douluo, is not a disgusting problem, it is an existence that can change the situation of the battle.
"Hmm." Lu Ren looked at Kurourushi, and in addition to disgust, his eyes gradually gained a layer of wonder.
After all, it is also one of Sendai Four Heavenly Kings among Jujutsu Kaisen, and the other three alongside it are real Special Grade Sorcerer.
The measure of each Special Grade Sorcerer is that he can destroy a country by himself. When placed in the Douluo Continent, it is roughly equivalent to the level that a Titled Douluo can destroy a large city alone.
Not to mention that Special Grade Sorcerer basically knows Domain Expansion and will directly play the Cursed Technique mechanism with you.
In terms of numerical value, it may be the same as or slightly weaker than the strong Douluo Continent and Titled Douluo in the fantasy genre, but their Cursed Technique mechanism is better than the other in the underworld.
"Well, Lu Ren's evaluation is right." Snow Empress spoke, the previous anger in his sky-blue eyes was gone, replaced by calm analysis, "Just now When it showed its murderous intent to me, I actually felt a hint of danger in it."
"That feeling is very weak, but it does exist. A bug at the lowest level can actually make me feel dangerous. This speaks for itself." She paused and turned her head to look at Lu Ren. "Is the source of danger you mentioned the field ability you told me about before?"
"That's right." Lu Ren nodded, not surprised by Snow Empress's keen judgment, "But I think Her Majesty the Snow Empress itself has a way to solve the problem of the field."
"Among His Majesty's three secret skills, one of them is similar to the domain type Soul Skill. If you are in peak condition, you can take advantage of its first domain attack and directly suppress it with your cultivation."
"But Mian is at his weakest now. If he doesn't use that ability, it will probably take a lot of energy to fight against a domain in such a weak state."
"It ranks Super Douluo level in my evaluation precisely because of the existence of the field."
"However, Festering Life Sword's Insect Eggs does not pose any threat to Her Majesty the Snow Empress. Even if a cockroach enters your body, it will be killed directly by your ultra-low temperature. But the most important thing to pay attention to is not Festering Life Sword's Insect Eggs, but Festering Life Sword's attack, which seems to ignore defense to a certain extent----"
As Lu Ren spoke, he looked at Kurourushi fearfully.
The countless orange-red cockroach compound eyes were still staring blankly ahead, but every blink of the compound eyes gave him goosebumps all over his body.
He really wants a Reverse Cursed Technique Release to purify it into fly ash. This guy is dirty enough that he wants to erase its existence at any cost.
But when he thought that the combat effectiveness of this product was really not low, and could bring a substantial improvement to Lu Ren's combat effectiveness, he could only resist the urge.
It's a bit ugly, but it can fight.
"That's it." Snow Empress thoughtfully withdrew the extremely cold air from his fingertips, and moved his eyes away from Kurourushi, landing on Lu Ren's face, "I didn't expect that after you held it in for seven days, you suddenly made such a big noise."
"Not only can it create life out of thin air, but the combat effectiveness of this life itself is also not low."
"Although this cockroach is disgusting, it is a greater threat than those Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo level Evil Soul Master out there!"
"How many Soul Power did you consume when creating it?"
"To a certain extent, it's not entirely alive."
Lu Ren shook his head and did not directly answer the question of consumption.
The essence of Cursed Spirit is a cursed collection condensed from human negative emotions. It has action logic and instincts that cannot be understood by human reason, but strictly speaking it has no real life.
He raised his head and looked at Kurourushi's windless black robe.
"But I am indeed a little curious. Why were bugs the first thing I created? Obviously I am most afraid of bugs. Could it be that the things I made can be controlled by my subconscious mind?"
"Could it be the cause of all your negative emotional energy?"
The young and handsome figure of Electrolux quietly emerged from beside Lu Ren, standing with his hands behind his hands, his deep gaze falling on Kurourushi, his eyes full of interest in research.
"In addition to the negative emotions you deliberately condensed, these negative emotions are also mixed with your own fears."
"I can see now that the fear of bugs deep in your heart is constantly generating new negative emotional energy, and this cockroach-shaped creature is constantly absorbing the fear generated in your heart."
"This process is two-way: it gets the energy to grow from your fear, and your fear of it becomes bigger as it grows, which in turn generates more negative emotions to feed back to it."
"This is a mutually reinforcing cycle that is both symbiotic and cursed.
Lu Ren was slightly startled, then Spiritual Power focused on the energy connection between Kurourushi and himself and carefully perceived it for a moment, and found that it was exactly what Electrolux said.
The fear of cockroaches deep in his soul is being extracted and absorbed by Kurourushi, transforming it into its own power.
And whenever he sees Kurourushi's ugly appearance and smells the damp and dirty smell, the disgust and fear in his heart will breed Cursed Energy, and then be absorbed by Kurourushi simultaneously.
"So that's it----" Lu Ren's mouth twitched hard.
He finally understood that maybe this was the underlying logic of Cursed Spirit. The thing that Lu Ren was most afraid of subconsciously was cockroaches, so Cursed Spirit Manipulation accurately selected the strongest one from among his thousands of fears.
His fear of cockroaches was used as the seed to condense into the first Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Rather, the birth of Kurourushi stems from human beings' fear of cockroaches.
Therefore, Lu Ren, who is most afraid of cockroaches subconsciously, the first Cursed Spirit that was pinched out was actually this Giant Cockroach Kurourushi.
Lu Ren took a deep breath and waved to Kurourushi: "Go back."
He didn't want to see this disgusting thing for a second----
Upon hearing the order, the shadow at Kurourushi's feet suddenly spread and turned into a dark entrance.
Its figure slowly sank, first submerging into the darkness bit by bit, until it finally disappeared.
The dark crack that opened in the void immediately closed, the light in the room returned to normal, and the damp and fishy smell quickly dissipated.
Cursed Spirit Manipulation gave Lu Ren a space that can accommodate Cursed Spirit. This space can theoretically accommodate countless Cursed Spirits. Here, the Cursed Spirits can slowly absorb the Cursed Energys in the space and grow on their own.
But if he, the magician of Cursed Spirit Manipulation, dies, all the Cursed Spirit sealed in the space will go on a collective rampage, break through the space barrier and come to the real world, and then attack all living creatures around them indiscriminately.
Although Kurourushi has disappeared, Lu Ren repeatedly scanned every corner of the room with Spiritual Power several times to confirm that no traces of cockroaches were left.
Then he took a deep breath, strode out of the room, and called Nana who was preparing dinner ingredients in the yard.
"Master?" Nana put down the food basket in his hand and hurried to greet him.
"Help me clean this room thoroughly inside and out, and throw away all the quilts, sheets, pillows on my bed, and replace them with new ones." Lu Ren explained expressionlessly, speaking a little faster than usual, looking a little flustered.
"Ah?"
Nana blinked, not understanding the reason for this command at all.
Lu Ren's room is kept clean every day. According to the owner's living habits, even the floor can be used as a mirror.
Seeing that Nana didn't understand, Lu Ren was silent for three seconds, and finally gave what he thought was a reasonable explanation, "---- Cockroaches entered the room and crawled onto my bed. I can't have this bed anymore."
Nana:"----"
Her expression jumped back and forth several times between trying to remain serious and unable to resist laughing. Finally, she used her strong professionalism to suppress the upward curve of the corners of her mouth.
She nodded silently and said in an extremely respectful and flawless tone, "Okay master, I will deal with it right away to ensure that there will be no more bugs in the room."
She turned around and walked towards the storage room, thinking silently in her heart as she walked.
It turns out that the owner is afraid of cockroaches.
Such a powerful master is actually afraid of cockroaches.
This discovery made her feel strangely reassured.
It turns out that even if you are as strong as your master, you are still afraid of some things.
"It can be regarded as seeing the lovely side of the owner.
Nana smiled in his heart.
Lu Ren watched Nana's back disappearing around the corner of Corridor, feeling that the smile on her face when she turned around just now was a bit subtle.
After successfully pinching out the first Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and it happened to be Special Grade Cursed Spirit, which represented a cockroach, Lu Ren didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.
I'm happy that Kurourushi's combat power is indeed not weak. He can fight Titled Douluo. If he can Domain Expansion, he can threaten Super Douluo.
What was frustrating was that this thing was so disgusting that he wanted to get rid of it with Reverse Cursed Technique after just one look.
Lu Ren gathered his mood, took Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan who had been waiting in the yard, and turned towards Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer--
I walked in the direction of the college. I was silent all the way.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of the college, I saw a figure who had been waiting for a long time.
Jing Hongchen stood in the center of the main entrance with his hands behind his hands, followed by brothers Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who had obviously been waiting for a long time.
The moment he saw Lu Ren, his slender old eyes suddenly burst into life, and his whole person switched from the tired waiting of Just now to a state of high spirits in one second.
He walked up to him quickly, and his pace was so eager that he was completely unlike a venerable Hall Master of the Illustrious Virtue Hall. However, when his Spiritual Power swept across Lu Ren's cultivation, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Have you made a breakthrough?" Jing Hongchen's voice rose a whole tune.
The aura of Level 62 Soul Emperor, although restrained, cannot be hidden at all.
When I left a few months ago, I was still Level 50 Soul King. When I came back, I jumped directly to level 62 Soul Emperor.
This discovery made Jing Hongchen take a deep breath and forcefully swallow the following sentence "Where have you been and what have you done? Hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can't even rise so fast."
Lu Ren nodded. "Lucky."
Jing Hongchen's mouth twitched hard.
He stared at Lu Ren for several seconds and finally decided not to ask further questions.
This kid has so many secrets that several thick dictionaries can be compiled. One more is not too much, and one less is not too much.
Anyway, he is from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, that's enough.
He cleared his throat and his tone became serious. "The competition is ready. We will set off in three days to the Star Luo Empire's Star Luo City, which is the venue for this year's continent-wide high-end Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament."
He paused, lowered his voice a bit, and added a layer of solemnity in his tone, "I have heard that this time, Shrek Academy will personally lead the team from Xuan Zi."
"The strength of their team this time is far superior to that of previous years, and Xuan Zi suffered a loss at your hands last time, and will definitely not give you any opportunities this time."
Lu Ren The corners of his mouth slowly rose, and a cold smile cut across the young face like a blade, "Just in time, let's settle the old and new grudges together in front of the entire continent."
After saying that, Lu Ren raised his head and looked up at the sky. Mingdu Sky Manipulation was clear and clear, white clouds were flowing slowly above his head, and Sun Moon Empire's great mountains and rivers were faintly visible on the distant horizon.
Ice Empress's voice sounded softly in his mind, "Do you need my help?"
"No need." Lu Ren answered her in Sea of Consciousness, "This time, I will personally trample Shrek's face under my feet. Not only will I win against them on Arena, but I will also win with dignity and dignity, and win so that all the viewers in the continent will be speechless."
"I want them to know that the era of the Shrek Academy winning the championship is completely over after this one."
Jing Hongchen stood aside and had a panoramic view of Lu Ren's high-spirited scene.
He suddenly remembered that when he first met Lu Ren, this boy was just a level 44 Soul Ancestor who beat Wang Shaojie at the entrance of the college. But now, in just a few months, he was already standing here, about to represent Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the highest level Soul Fighting arena in the continent to face Shrek.
It's only been a few months - Lu Ren has transformed from level 44 Soul Ancestor to level 62 Soul Emperor!
This is the fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor. Looking at the entire history of the Douluo Continent, I'm afraid no one can reach the heights of Lu Ren, right?
This Hall Master of the Illustrious Virtue Hall suddenly felt an overwhelming premonition in his heart.
This Continental Tournament, I'm afraid things will completely change.
And Sun Moon Empire, with the help of Lu Ren, will reach the highest peak ever!
