Meeting Jiaojiao again, Sunset Forest

The outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In a secluded valley.

The campfire crackled and popped, casting flickering light on Lu Cheng and Ma Xiaotao's faces.

After absorbing the third Soul Ring, the boost from the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone caused him to surge to the peak of level 37 the instant he broke through to Soul Elder, just one step away from Soul Ancestor.

Therefore, he plans to cultivate quietly here for a period of time until he advances to the Soul Ancestor level and obtains his fourth Soul Ring, before returning to the Shrek Academy.

Ma Xiaotao was naturally delighted, wanting more time alone with Lu Cheng; her phoenix eyes were practically glued to him.

We chose a secluded valley two days ago and stayed there temporarily.

"Call..."

Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air.

Feeling the abundant Soul Power within his body, he realized that the creature he had just killed was a Scarlet Fire Spirit Rhinoceros with eight thousand years of cultivation, which granted him his third Soul Skill: Armor Piercing, amplifying the penetrating power of his arrows.

It's alright, I guess. After all, there are very few top-tier fire-attribute Soul Beast in this world. Only the Scarlet King's Hellfire is presentable, and there's also Jiaojiao's Ultimate Fire...

However, when it comes to Jiaojiao...

Lu Cheng was taken aback.

Since Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan possess Simulation memories, what about Jiaojiao? And what about Da Hua, who was willing to die with him? Does she also have memories?

After the Simulation ended, he planned to go to Sunset Forest to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and complete the Second Awakening of his Blood Pupils, but he was troubled by the poisonous miasma and had no help around him.

Even Titled Douluo would have a hard time getting into that place. In the Simulation Device, he was already at the peak of the Soul Douluo realm when he entered, not to mention there were Wu Ya flanking him.

Moreover, even if they managed to break in, they would be facing a group of 100,000-year-old Immortal Herb. Although they were definitely at the bottom in terms of combat power among Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they were still easily crushed by Lu Cheng, Soul Grandmaster.

But now... if Jiaojiao possessed Simulation memories, things would be much easier to talk to.

However, Lu Cheng's expression was strange.

In the Simulation Device, Jiaojiao was completely fooled by him. They agreed to become gods together, but he turned around and self-destructed. Jiaojiao must be completely stunned. He shattered her trust. If they met again now, he'd probably unleash his ultimate attack right away...

Lu Cheng's face turned bitter.

I should have played it safe. The more reckless he was in the Simulation Device, the more bitter this moment will be.

"Fine, I'll still go and try my luck, what if I succeed?" After thinking it over, Lu Cheng decided to take a stroll through Sunset Forest; it wouldn't hurt either way.

Opportunities are rare on this continent, but the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is definitely one of them.

Not to mention what's hidden beneath that pool... two true dragon skeletons, one of ice and one of fire. If he could obtain the Fire Dragon King's skeleton, it would be an unprecedented opportunity for him.

But unfortunately... that thing is not something he can control right now.

"Xiaotao, come with me to Sunset Forest."

Lu Cheng looked to the side.

The latter was gazing at Lu Cheng with infatuation, her throat bobbing. "Okay, I love you too... Um, what did you say?"

Lu Cheng's lips twitched.

"Come with me to Sunset Forest."

"Okay!" Ma Xiaotao wiped her drool and said righteously.

Sunset Forest.

Lu Cheng landed on a giant rock, signaling Ma Xiaotao to rest for the time being. His Spiritual Power spread out like a spider web, covering an area with a diameter of 500 meters centered on himself. Several minutes later, he opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

This is considered the core area of Sunset Forest, where the poisonous miasma is already clearly visible. If one continues forward, the only outcome will be ingesting too much of the miasma, turning into a skeleton, and joining the many dead souls.

"Xiaotao, where's the stuff?"

Lu Cheng pondered for a moment, then spoke to the tall, beautiful woman in red standing beside him.

"Here you go~" Ma Xiaotao took out a cannon barrel that was light blue all over, somewhat similar to an ordinary long-range Soul Cannon, but it was mixed with a chilling aura.

Level 7 Soul Tool - Winter Descends.

Before coming to Sunset Forest, I made a special trip back to Shrek City to purchase one. Compared to Level 7 Soul Tool the same rank, its power is less than one-tenth, but a single ice bead can create a snowy landscape that stretches for at least several kilometers, making it a powerful weapon with a wide range.

For Lu Cheng, he didn't need to kill the poisonous miasma, but rather to force it back and then find the valley in a very short time.

"Drink it!"

Without further ado, Ma Xiaotao infused her Soul Power into the cannon. At the same time, a light blue sphere gradually condensed at the mouth of the thick cannon barrel. As the light blue sphere shot into the air, it burst open like fireworks.

A chill swept over them, and the previously pleasantly humid temperature plummeted. The poisonous miasma that had surged in suddenly receded, and from the sky, a vacuum zone with a diameter of several hundred meters, centered on the ice sphere, had been formed.

Lu Cheng touched the ground with his toes, and fiery wings sprouted from his back. He soared into the air, his blood-red eyes scanning the surroundings with agility, searching for a direction. At this moment, his vision had reached an astonishing level; he could see clearly even from a distance of a thousand meters.

"Found it!"

Finally, just after Ma Xiaotao launched her second ice hockey puck, a look of joy flashed across Lu Cheng's face.

Using that Level 7 Soul Tool, the two of them flashed away, leaving a deep shadow in mid-air.

"Is this the valley?" Ma Xiaotao lips parted slightly. In the past two years, she had tried to find it, but all her attempts had come to nothing. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't tell her teacher... After all, this place was a secret between the three of them.

Two figures fell into the valley.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on our home?" Youyou.

Compared to the imposing aura he displayed against the Wu Ya last time, this time only Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Saint, was holding the fort, which was clearly somewhat insufficient.

But soon, from the Youyou Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a blazing pillar of fire shot straight into the sky.

The figure of the fiery red flower slowly emerged, looking down at the two of them from above.

"Long time no see... Lu Cheng!!!"

Jiaojiao spoke, her tone filled with resentment and gritted teeth.

Staring at that familiar figure, I felt a mix of heartache and anger. In my memory, that guy was so majestic and tall, like Golden Crow descending to earth. He was a true prodigy, a genius rarely seen on the continent, yet he was willing to give up everything for a woman...

Does it hate it?

It's faded away in the last two years.

It was simply that it felt sorry for him.

"Jiaojiao?" Youyou was somewhat bewildered. Jiaojiao, who was always calm, composed, and elegant, had actually stirred up such great anger... no, resentment, towards two unfamiliar humans.

"Leave this to me, you can all go back..." Jiaojiao glanced at Youyou and said.

"Oh, okay, everyone can go home now," Youyou said casually.

"Jiaojiao..." Lu Cheng's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me." Jiaojiao large, bright red petals, signaling the other party to follow.
