Douluo: Humans are peerless, fake gods.

"Ma Xiaotao?"

"..."

"Ma Xiaotao, Ma Xiaotao?"

"..."

There was no response for a long time, Su Luoheng thought that Ma Xiaotao had entered the weird situation just now again.Just as she was about to slap Ultra again, Ma Xiaotao suddenly raised her head.

Su Luoheng lowered his arms regretfully.

Looking at each other, he took a look at it.

It was only then that she realized that Ma Xiaotao's condition was very bad now, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was completely different from before.

His eyes were confused, except for the red and swollen palm print on his cheek, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and he looked very haggard and weak.

It's hard to believe that in just a quarter of an hour, Ma Xiaotao, who was originally full of vigor, seemed to have mutated into this listless and sickly appearance.

Su Luoheng frowned, and couldn't help asking.

"what happened to you?"

"..."

"That piece of soul bone... you can look at it again."

Ma Xiaotao ignored Su Luoheng's question, left a sentence in a daze, then stood up unsteadily, and left in a daze.

"Ma Xiaotao..."

Su Luoheng frowned slightly.

Ma Xiaotao's current state is really hard to rest assured.

"Wait a moment!"

Just when Su Luoheng was about to step forward to check the situation, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on Ma Xiaotao's back.Or more precisely Ma Xiaotao's shadow!

At some point, the shadow under Ma Xiaotao's feet changed several times like a frame-drop animation, distorted, deformed, dislocated, and stuck, until finally the shadow became more and more blurred.

However, the change in the shadow did not affect Ma Xiaotao herself, as if she didn't know anything, she still walked forward step by step.This picture fell in Su Luoheng's eyes, and there was an indescribably weird feeling.

But soon, the distorted shadow suddenly returned to normal, overlapping with Ma Xiaotao's dazed back again.Everything returned to calm, and Ma Xiaotao was still walking forward.

"Ma Xiaotao, you—"

When Su Luoheng came back to his senses and wanted to call Ma Xiaotao to stop, she had already disappeared around the corner at the end of the path.It was as if the weird scene just now had never happened.

"Just now, that was... what?"

Su Luoheng frowned deeply.

In the slightly condensed eyes, unconsciously, there was a little more depth.

Although the scene just happened in just a few seconds, Su Luoheng was sure that he was absolutely right.At that moment, Ma Xiaotao's shadow had a distorted and weird change!

Reminiscent of the changes that occurred after Ma Xiaotao suddenly lost consciousness without warning after he mentioned the spirit bone period just now.Su Luoheng speculated that there must be some connection between them.

even……

It is very likely that it is a chain reaction caused by the same thing!
"Shrek..."

Su Luoheng murmured, his eyes flickered slightly.

Tapping the table lightly with slightly curved fingers, he fell into deep thought.

He felt as if he had discovered something, but he couldn't combine these scattered clues and grasp the key points.

But I can be sure: this matter must have something to do with Shrek Academy.

Besides Ma Xiaotao's weird behavior, the spirit bone that caused a chain reaction was also a problem.Especially her last sentence full of profound reminders.

Su Luoheng naturally understood the deep meaning.

What Ma Xiaotao meant was to tell himself that there was a problem with the soul bone.

Although the words of the Shrek people cannot be fully believed, this piece of soul bone is full of doubts.Now that Ma Xiaotao has specifically told her, it is worth tasting it carefully.

"..."

Thinking of this, Su Luoheng restrained his mind, took the 8-year-old head spirit bone in his hand, and began to observe carefully again.

But... there is no doubt that nothing has been found.

Su Luoheng was not surprised by this result.

In the end, Su Luoheng decided to follow the original plan first, and see if the Snow Empress could find the problem like the Silver Moon Wolf King soul bone back then.

……

……

at the same time.

At the same time that Su Luoheng was thinking about the issue of the soul bone, Ma Xiaotao was staggering, looking bewildered, walking around the campus in a daze.There was a blank in my mind, just wandering at a loss.

In fact, the record of this head spirit bone is kept very secret in Shrek Academy.Only the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and a small number of high-ranking members of the Martial Soul Department knew about the problems in the spirit bones.

As for Ma Xiaotao, she heard Yan Shaozhe mention it by chance, and only then did she understand the problem in this soul bone.That's why I tried to remind Su Luoheng after seeing the reward marked in the notice.

The interests of the college are above all else.

To Shrek, Su Luoheng would definitely not be a friend.

So letting him absorb this soul bone is in the interests of the academy.But despite this, Ma Xiaotao couldn't stand by and watch Su Luoheng who had helped him suppress the evil fire twice.

It was precisely because of this choice that Ma Xiaotao touched the core concept of being loyal to Shrek Academy, which caused the scene just now.

In the end, Ma Xiaotao adopted a compromise plan, leaving a cryptic reminder to Su Luoheng on the premise of not betraying Shrek Academy's position.

but……

Although this bypassed the checks and balances of the rules, Ma Xiaotao couldn't get around the hurdle in his heart.In her subconscious cognition, her behavior has betrayed Shrek Academy.

That's why she, who was suffering in her heart, showed a dazed look when she left Su Luoheng's room.

In her current state, if she wants to return to normal, it may take a while to adjust.After all, only she can overcome this psychological barrier.

At least Ma Xiaotao thought so.

……

……

Time flickers.

Su Luoheng had already arrived at the Snow Emperor's dormitory.

As usual, the first thing to do is to study the soul guidance circle.

The research process is coming to an end, so during this period of time Su Luoheng put most of his energy into the research of the ultra-ancient soul tool, trying to see its true face as soon as possible.

And after studying for this period of time, Su Luoheng was able to confirm that this ultra-ancient soul tool is actually a combined soul tool, which is composed of two similar soul tool circles as a whole, and they are closely related.

While operating independently of each other, they can also cooperate with each other.

but--

What kind of special ability does this ultra-ancient soul tool composed of the power of destiny have? The answer can only be revealed after the completion of the production and personal verification.

And with Su Luoheng's current production speed, I believe it will be completed soon.

"Crack -"

There was a constant sound of cutting metal in the room.

Snow Emperor, who had long been used to it, took a look at Su Luoheng who was busy in the room, then randomly picked up a book from the bookshelf, made a cup of Su Luoheng's homemade milk tea and pastries, and then curled up on the sofa to read.

During the time in Shrek Academy, the two of them had already gotten used to getting along like this.

Once the research on the soul tool was started, Su Luoheng would maintain his concentration until the research goal set was completed.In this respect, he is very similar to Ran Ruobing.

In the blink of an eye, it was another two hours.

The metal friction sound stopped abruptly.

"call……"

In the room, Su Luoheng breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped off the thin beads of sweat on his forehead, and smiled with satisfaction at the corner of his mouth.

With the completion of these two inscriptions, he has completed all the soul guidance circles on the right side of the blueprint.The inscription on the other side of the soul guide circle is basically the same as this side, and it takes a lot of effort to inscribe it.

Now that the research process has entered the final stage, it is only necessary to complete the inscription of the last short section of the soul guide inscription.As for this process, it is conservatively estimated that it can be completed within three days.

In this regard, he has enough confidence.

The research on the soul tool has temporarily come to an end, now it is time to solve the problem of the soul bone.

Su Luoheng stretched and walked to the living room.

"..."

Xue Di was still holding a soul guide book, carefully flipping through it.

The pastries on the coffee table are half gone, and the milk tea in the cup is steaming, it seems that it has just been refilled.

After hearing the footsteps, Xue Di raised his eyes slightly.

The book was spread out flat on his knees, and he brushed his hair casually.

"Is it all right?"

Su Luoheng smiled, nodded and said, "Well, it will be finished soon."

"That's good."

Xuedi nodded, and responded softly.

"Sister Xue, help the world~"

"Look, is there anything wrong with this spirit bone?"

While talking, Su Luoheng sat down beside Xuedi, and at the same time put the 8-year time-attributed head spirit bone on the coffee table.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Xue Di glanced at the spirit bone: "Is this the spirit bone you mentioned earlier?"

"Ah."

"Mr. Ma brought it last night. Although he checked it up and down and found no problems, it's hard to trust Shrek's stuff."

"So you thought of me?"

"Now all I can count on is you."

With that said, Su Luoheng clasped his hands together, and looked at Xuedi pleadingly.

Seeing this, the corners of Xue Di's lips raised slightly, revealing a slight arc, and her cold voice sounded.

"I'll take a look first."

"Please, Miss Xue."

"There's probably nothing you can do about it at the academy. We can only see if you can find out the problem, Sister Xue~"

After all, Su Luo handed over the soul bone with full expectation.

For the first time, Xuedi's eyes flashed with surprise, "It's really a genuine 8-year-old head soul bone, Shrek Academy really has such good intentions?"

"I'm also surprised by this."

"..."

After a while, Xuedi frowned slightly.

Even if she came to identify this spirit bone, there would be no problem at all.It is certain that Shrek did not tamper with this.But with Shrek's temperament, there is no doubt but the biggest doubt in the soul bone.

Under the influence of Su Luoheng, and seeing Xuanzi blatantly breaking the rules of the competition in the last soul fighting competition, Snow Emperor has no good impression of Shrek, the number one soul master academy in the mainland.

Head spirit bone, time attribute...

and many more!

Xue Di's eyes paused, and suddenly remembered something.

While putting down the spirit bone, his expression instantly became serious.

"Sister Xue?"

"Luoheng, you can't absorb this spirit bone."

Su Luoheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Shrek really understands this soul bone?"

"No."

"There is nothing wrong with this spirit bone in essence."

Snow Emperor shook his head.

"The age and quality of this soul bone are very good. What's even more rare is the extremely rare time attribute, which is already comparable to a 10-year soul bone in some respects."

"Then how..."

Su Luoheng cast a puzzled look.

Xue Di pressed his hand and sighed regretfully.

"The quality, attributes, and age are all right. It is a diluted treasure in any part. But it is a piece of head spirit bone, which is a pity..."

"Sister Xue, I know the fusion process of the head soul bone is difficult, but even if it is very difficult to absorb, it will not necessarily fail, right?"

Hearing this, Su Luoheng questioned it.

Xue Di picked up the soul bone and explained slowly.

"Soul masters generally absorb the soul bones through a method similar to suppression, suppressing the remnants of the soul beasts in the soul bones, so as to fuse and absorb to enhance their strength."

"The brain is the most important and fragile part of the human body. Therefore, the fusion of the head spirit bone has been the most dangerous of all spirit bones since ancient times."

"Of course, although head spirit bones with general attributes are not easy to absorb, if you have a strong enough mental power or a strong enough will, generally speaking, there will be no big problem."

"And the problem with this spirit bone is that it is a time attribute skull.

"In the process of absorbing this kind of soul bone, not only the remnants of the soul beast will impact your mental strength, but the power of time contained in the soul bone will also constantly wash away your brain, affecting your judgment, completely lost, until you die."

"Even in the most ideal situation, you will have a strong sense of time dislocation after the absorption is complete."

"Because under the scouring of the power of time, your brain will probably think that you have spent a hundred years, and your body has already rotted."

"And once your brain thinks you're rotten, your body isn't far from being truly rotten."

"I once saw a human soul master titled Douluo trying to absorb a ten-thousand-year time-attributed skull, causing his spirit to be completely lost in time and fall into a deep sleep. He never woke up from his deep sleep until his body completely decayed."

"This is the terrifying thing about time spirit bones!"

"So off balance."

Pausing for a while, Xue Di looked at Su Luoheng, and said slowly: "Let's give up this soul bone."

"..."

Su Luoheng's eyes flashed with astonishment, obviously shocked.

This scene reminded him of a punishment he had heard in the original world.

Lock a person in a dark and airtight environment, and at the same time cover his eyes to block his vision.

Then swipe lightly on his wrist and speak to him again.

【I have cut your wrist】

After that, water was dripped continuously on his wrist, creating a feeling that his wrist was constantly bleeding.

After about a few minutes, this person who obviously did not bleed will fall into panic under his own psychological suggestion, and finally be frightened to death in this state of extreme tension.

And this kind of psychological hint is similar to the power of time.

However, the effect caused by the scouring of the power of time is much stronger than this simple psychological suggestion.The impact is also more serious.
