At this time, Zhang Peng did not know that he had just walked away from the gate of hell.
With the character of Lu Ren, when faced with a Evil Soul Master who is secretly following him and has thoughts about the blood he transformed, his first reaction should be to take action directly.
The performance of the Spirit Abyss Realm's peak Spiritual Power plus the full Cursed Technique blessed by Soul Core doubles the performance. Even if the opponent is level 95 Super Douluo, it may not be unable to inflict heavy damage.
But Zhang Peng had no murderous intention and was sincere in making friends with him, which made Lu Ren choose to let him go.
Of course, Zhang Peng didn't know that he almost fell into the trap and was directly killed by Lu Ren's reversal, so naturally he didn't know how serious Lu Ren's forgiveness was.
But even if he didn't know it, his admiration for the young man in front of him had already reached the sky.
"Little brother, your ability is really amazing!"
Zhang Peng sighed repeatedly, his muddy old eyes full of wonder.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm not suitable to be your teacher - otherwise I would even want to accept you as my disciple."
Lu Ren took back the hand that was placed on Zhang Peng's shoulder, casually rubbed the blood on his palm on his clothes, and said with a serious expression, "Brother Peng, you'd better not have any thoughts about the blood I transformed. What's more, my blood is not suitable for you to absorb."
His tone was serious when he said this, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.
Feeling Lu Ren's concern for him, Zhang Peng couldn't help but smile.
"You little brother are so interesting!"
He grabbed Lu Ren's shoulders and patted him several times with his thin but powerful hands, a little harder than before.
There is not even half of the generation gap between Super Douluo and Soul King in that gesture. It is clearly the affectionate look of a big brother towards his little brother.
Zhang Peng's cloudy old eyes shone with a certain light that was inconsistent with his age under Moonlight. Then, his tone also became lower. He was no longer as bold and outgoing as before, but had a heavy truth. "I have lived for more than a hundred years, and today I finally made a sincere friend."
He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was squeezing something that had been accumulated for hundreds of years out of his lungs.
"It's true----it's not in vain, it's not in vain."
Lu Ren waited quietly for him to finish without interrupting.
The night wind passed between the two of them, rustling the leaves Ancient Tree above their heads.
After a while, he hesitated and said, "6
Brother Peng, I have a favor, I wonder if you can help."
"Just tell me!" Zhang Peng immediately straightened his back, waved his hand, and sounded as positive as a veteran who had just been entrusted with an important task. "I will definitely help you if I can!"
"That's right----" Lu Ren briefly explained the bet between himself and Xuan Zi.
Soul Master Tournament, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy fights against the Shrek Academy across the continent. If Xuan Zi wins, he will be given a piece of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. If he loses, he will have to become a dog with Shrek.
He added that the competition will be held in the Star Luo Empire in a few months, and Shrek Academy is Star Luo Empire's guest. If Shrek loses the competition, they may not let him go so readily based on their urination.
Upon hearing that this matter was related to the Shrek Academy, Zhang Peng's face instantly became serious.
The gentleness in a pair of old eyes completely dissipated, replaced by a long-suppressed anger.
"Shrek again!"
He slapped his thigh fiercely, and the crackling sound was particularly harsh in the silent forest.
"Hmph, he made the bet with you himself, and he personally agreed to the conditions. I didn't expect Shrek people to be so shameless, dignified Super Douluo, that they can't even admit defeat? Are you still thinking of cheating after the game?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Huo Di stood up, clenching his fists tightly and cracking his joints.
The black robe was flapping in the night wind, and Super Douluo waves of Soul Power were faintly emitting from the whole body. The dead leaves under the feet were scattered and flying by the air waves.
"Don't worry, little brother, feel free to go and participate in the competition. As long as I protect you, no one will dare to let you go!"
This is where Zhang Peng's confidence lies. Although he is a level ninety-five Super Douluo, Scorpion Tiger Martial Soul is a top-level Beast Martial Soul. In addition, his ability is very similar to that of Evil Soul Master, and he has certain cross-level combat capabilities.
He couldn't defeat Xuan Zi who was Level 98, but he didn't pay attention to the other Shrek elders below Xuan Zi.
"This is Xuan Zi----it's a bit difficult to handle." At the mention of this name, Zhang Peng let out a cold snort from his nose.
Although he is generous, he is not arrogant. The gap between level 95 and Level 98 and Grade 3 cannot be filled with enthusiasm.
Had Mu En not taken action himself, he would not have been forced to live in seclusion for decades.
Although Xuan Zi is not as good as Mu En, it is still second to Shrek. The frontal combat effectiveness of Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul cannot be underestimated.
"It's okay, Brother Peng." Lu Ren waved his hand and spoke in a relaxed tone as if Xuan Zi was just an insignificant passerby, "Xuan Zi will naturally have someone over there to solve the problem. As long as you can pick me up after the game and help me block those who want to cheat, I'll be happy enough."
He paused and then looked at Zhang Peng seriously. "Will this cause you trouble? After all, you are still a reclusive person. If you come face to face with Shrek because you help me - if the risk is too great, forget it, I will find a way myself."
Zhang Peng immediately said, "Trouble? What trouble!"
He waved his hand, and the disdain on his face was clear.
"I would have disliked Shrek a long time ago. If I hadn't been thinking of Mu En's kindness----hum!"
"Back then Mu En let me go, and I promised him not to kill anyone as long as he lived, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of Shrek others."
"Just because I don't kill people doesn't mean I can't beat them up. As long as no one is killed, what else can Mu En do to me?"
"I admit that he is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, no matter what the heavens and the earth, there is nothing that can stop me from making friends!"
Lu Ren smiled secretly in his heart.
It's done.
With this level 95 Super Douluo as a backup, the final stage of the competition in a few months will be guaranteed.
Coupled with the official power of Jing Hongchen and Sun Moon Empire, and the power of the Body Sect----
Even if Shrek really wants to cheat, he still has to weigh the cost of offending many powerful people at the same time.
The two chatted for a while, covering topics ranging from all over the world to cultivation experiences, from skills in using blood-based abilities to the changing situation in the mainland.
Zhang Peng has lived for more than a hundred years and has extensive knowledge. A few casual words can benefit Lu Ren a lot.
And Lu Ren occasionally popped up a few opinions from another world, which also made Zhang Peng excited.
In the end, it was Zhang Peng who stood up first.
He patted the dead leaves on his black robe, and a trace of reluctance flashed through his cloudy old eyes, but was soon overshadowed by a heroic smile.
"Okay, little brother, it's getting late, I'll take the first step."
"If you stay any longer, those little kids in your team should be worried. There is also a little girlfriend waiting for you nearby. I'm afraid they will have to wait in a hurry."
Zhang Peng stretched out his skinny palm towards Lu Ren and patted Lu Ren hard on the shoulder.
"Then it's settled. In a few months, I'll go to the Star Luo Empire for an appointment. Then I'll want to see with my own eyes what those old guys at Shrek looked like after they lost the bet. Hahahaha!"
Laughter echoed in the night sky, and Zhang Peng's figure turned into a black stream of light, shooting towards the distant sky.
The speed was even faster than when it came. It was like a heavy burden had been lifted off, and even the operation of Soul Power became much lighter.
Lu Ren watched the black stream of light disappear at the end of the night sky and let out a long sigh of relief.
This Holy Spirit Cult crisis is finally over.
What he didn't expect was that this crisis not only did not turn into a battle, but instead gave him a new brother Super Douluo level.
This wave, blood profit.
Not long after, he sent a signal to retreat deep into the jungle, and Ye Guyi poked his head out from behind the trunk of a Thousand-Year Ancient Tree tree in the distance. There were a few dead leaves on his blond hair, and his beautiful eyes were full of confusion.
She was hiding in the distance just now, and did not show her head during the whole process according to Lu Ren's instructions. She could only vaguely hear the conversation between the two, but could not clearly hear the specific content.
Ye Guyi only knew that Evil Soul Master, who was following them, did not take action. Instead, he chatted with Lu Ren for a long time, and finally walked away with a smile.
"The crisis has been resolved, there is no need to fight anymore." Lu Ren walked up to her, and his tone returned to his usual casual tone.
Ye Guyi's expression was strange. She looked at Lu Ren and then at the direction where Zhang Peng disappeared. Her lips moved and she stopped talking several times, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
The person in front of her always had a bunch of secrets that she couldn't see through. Some of them she didn't want to ask, and some of them she knew that it would be in vain if she asked.
As long as the crisis is resolved, nothing else matters.
In the next seven days, Lu Ren led his team to search for the suitable Soul Beast in the Jingyang Mountain Range.
With his Spirit Abyss Realm peak Spiritual Power paving the way, the search efficiency is astonishingly fast.
The distribution of Soul Beasts with a radius of hundreds of miles formed a detailed map in his mind. It was clear at a glance where the Soul Beasts were located and what age they were, as well as the types and attributes of Soul Beasts.
He doesn't even need to take action himself, he just needs to point out the location, and Xiao Hongchen, Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen can easily complete the hunt.
Meng Hongchen's Fifth Soul Ring was the first to solve it. Lu Ren found a toad Soul Beast that was about 15,000 years old on the northeast side of the Jingyang Mountain Range, which was highly consistent with her Vermilion Clear Ice Toad Martial Soul.
After Meng Hongchen absorbed Soul Ring, Soul Power directly broke through to the fifty-second level. Ice blue and aqua blue light intertwined and circulated in Soul Ring, making her already delicate face even more refined.
Ye Guyi created Fifth Soul Ring with a little effort. Holy Angel Martial Soul has extremely strict requirements on the properties of Soul Beast, which must be Radiance Attribute. This type of Soul Beast is extremely rare among the Jingyang Mountain Range.
Lu Ren almost turned the entire mountain range upside down before finding a Light Attribute Soul Beast that was about 18,000 years old in a hidden Valley.
After Ye Guyi absorbed this Soul Ring, his cultivation level directly reached level 53.
The purifying effect of those two Soul Saint Evil Soul Master was so great that the remaining energy continued to ferment in her body. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Fifth Soul Ring, it exploded together, rising to Grade 3.
Unfortunately, Lu Ren has never found the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.
Although Jingyang Mountain Range is vast, it is not a core Soul Beast gathering place like Star Dou Great Forest. Meeting Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is the limit.
He is not in a hurry. If Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be seen everywhere, it would not be called a hundred thousand years.
We can only wait a few more months and prepare to go to Far North.
As for the first thing Lu Ren did after returning to the academy, he went straight to Jing Hongchen's office.
"Master, please do one thing for you, please register my Martial Soul information." Lu Ren got straight to the point, with a hint of subtle embarrassment in his tone.
At this time, Jing Hongchen had followed them back safely, and now he has just arrived at his office.
Hearing what Lu Ren said, Jing Hongchen raised his head with confusion on his face. "Your Martial Soul information? Haven't you always refused to tell me? I still don't know what your Martial Soul is."
"Spiritual System's." Lu Ren made up a name casually, and his tone was as smooth as the real thing. "I didn't say it before for safety reasons, but now there is no need to hide it. Just write Mental Manipulation. Don't write too detailed, just keep it simple."
He didn't want Holy Spirit Cult to continue to stare at him, so he had to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible!
Jing Hongchen looked him up and down, as if weighing the authenticity of these words.
But he soon gave up looking into it.
Anyway, this kid has so many secrets that he can't count them. If he has more secrets, he won't be too many.
"Okay, I will arrange this. But having said that, your trip to the Jingyang Mountain Range went much smoother than I expected. I heard from Meng that you managed most of the search for Soul Beast by yourself?"
"I have to thank you very much. You took care of most of my grandchildren's Soul Ring----"
"No, no, it's just good luck." Lu Ren said haha casually, turned and left the office.
After the door was closed, Jing Hongchen leaned on the back of the chair.
"If the game is over----how should I tie Lu Ren tightly to the Hongchen Family?"
After much thought, Jing Hongchen finally decided to talk to his granddaughter Meng Hongchen and see what she thought.
The next few months were the most stable period since Lu Ren came to the Douluo Continent.
During the day, he organized all his experience in the field into a systematic methodology and taught Ji Juechen step by step.
Although Sword Intent Domain of Ji Juechen is just a prototype, its foundation is extremely solid. His unique way of integrating Spiritual Power and Sword Intent is similar to Innate Domain in the Jujutsu system.
Lu Ren dismantled the composition principles of the field to him and told him how to integrate Spiritual Power and Soul Power in a closed-loop at the boundary of the field, how to build the core obsession of the field, and how to make Rule in the field achieve closed-loop self-consistency.
Ji Juechen listened to it so eagerly that he would wait on Training Ground with Silver-White Long Sword in his arms every day before dawn, and would not leave until late at night after practicing.
At the suggestion of Lu Ren, he even began to try to integrate his whole body and mind into Sword Intent, not simply using the sword as a weapon, but making the sword an extension of his emotions.
During a sparring session, his "silence" field suddenly expanded from three feet to more than ten feet, and silver light spots faintly appeared in the gray Sword Intent. Although there is still some way to go before the true complete field, the bottleneck has been broken.
Not only that, Ji Juechen also successfully entered the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man with the help of Lu Ren!
Jing Ziyan watched the whole process of Ji Juechen's progress, his eyes were red with envy, and he chased Lu Ren every day, asking him to help him improve his combat ability.
Lu Ren was so pestered by her that she had no choice but to throw a few training plans at her and let her practice on her own.
Jing Ziyan was astonished at the first try, and from then on everyone told everyone that Lu Ren was her reborn parent.
At night, Lu Ren goes into the training room to practice. Occasionally Electrolux will wake up from Sea of Consciousness and give him guidance on how to perfect the details of Soul Spirit Contract.
The two people, one old and one young, discussed, argued, and deduced in the consciousness space, and polished this new contract that spanned the two major systems of Jujutsu and Necromancy to become more and more perfect.
At the same time, Ye Guyi and Nana are also busy.
According to the plan, Ye Guyi regularly enters and exits the areas around Mingdu that are infiltrated by Holy Spirit Cult, and uses Holy Angel Martial Soul to purify those Evil Soul Master eyeliners who have infiltrated major forces.
Lu Ren followed closely and absorbed Cursed Energy. With the two of them joining forces, not only did their cultivation steadily improve, but they also quietly built a secret intelligence network in the underground world of Mingdu.
Shangguan Wei'er and An Litong are also cooperating secretly. The manpower and material resources of the Ordinary Alliance and Aodu Chamber of Commerce make Ye Guyi's actions even more powerful.
Ju Zi would come to him from time to time to talk about his wishes after graduation----
It even hinted that Xu Tianran seemed to have a strong interest in Lu Ren, and had already sent a message through Ju Zi, hoping to meet Lu Ren after the competition.
He didn't like Xu Tianran----Lu Ren, so for Ju Zi, he just replied, "It depends on the situation."
Time passed quietly in the midst of fullness and busyness, and there were only the last two months left until Soul Master Tournament in the whole continent.
Late that night, Lu Ren was sitting cross-legged in the middle of Exclusive Cultivation Room.
Just when he completed the last round of fusion cycle of Cursed Energy and Soul Power, the gray bead in Sea of Consciousness suddenly lit up.
Electrolux's young and handsome figure slowly solidified from above the beads, walking barefoot on the condensed golden sea surface of Spiritual Power, and walked up to him.
"Little guy, I have some good news for you."
Electrolux's voice contained a trace of rare excitement, and those eyes as deep as the stars shone with a light that had not been seen for a long time.
"After repeated deductions and verifications over the past few months, the theory of Soul Spirit Contract you proposed previously has been completely perfected."
He raised his hand, and a ball of light formed by the intertwined energy of Spiritual Power and Necromancy appeared on his fingertips.
Inside the light ball, countless fine runes rotate like stars, forming an extremely precise and complex three-dimensional array.
That is a contract, a contract that allows the soul of Soul Beast and Martial Soul of Soul Master to achieve equal integration after death and live forever together.
"Great, Elder Yi!"
After getting this good news, Lu Ren was very surprised.
"Calculating the time, it's probably almost the same distance from Huo Yuhao to Far North."
Lu Ren took a deep breath and stood up from the bed.
The Moonlight outside the window spilled into the training room through the soul guide glass window, coating his face with a layer of silver-white light.
This moment has finally arrived.
Go to Far North!
Get Soul Spirit from Ice Empress!
"This trip Far North may be dangerous, but it is worth the risk!"
Lu Ren Clench your fists and cheer yourself up.
No matter what, no matter what the outcome, he would take a gamble.
Use Electrolux's Demigod aura as a deterrent, Soul Spirit Contract as a bargaining chip, and all the trump cards he has accumulated so far as a backing.
Ice Empress, he wants to order it!
