Douluo: I level up alone

Chapter 339 The smell of gunpowder

"Cheng Xiao?"

When they heard this name, several people were stunned.

You must know that this time they went to the Star Forest to obtain a soul ring beyond the limit for Shui Binger, based on the theory written by Ye Renxin and Cheng Xiao.

How could they not know this name?

only……

It is said that "Cheng Xiao" once became the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace. In order to quell a huge beast wave two years ago, he chose to sacrifice himself and was captured by the soul beasts. No news has been reported yet.

There are now rumors that Cheng Xiao has become the food of the ferocious beast and has long since fallen.

And the "Cheng Xiao" in front of me...

Several people looked at Cheng Xiao for a long time, then looked at each other, and then someone whispered: "Isn't it possible? I remember that the portrait of the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace is quite handsome, and he doesn't look like a remnant of the tribe?"

"The lines on his face must have been mixed with the blood of soul beasts for a long time, right? He looks so fierce." Shui Yue'er stuck out his tongue, huddled behind Shui Bing'er, and muttered.

Although the murderous intention of God Shura has been temporarily sealed by the Silver Dragon King, it still has a deterrent effect on low-strength soul masters.

The moment Shui Yue'er turned around after fetching the water, she was frightened by the vague intimidation and fell to the ground.

That kind of fear has been deeply engraved in Shui Yue'er's heart, and even now Shui Yue'er doesn't dare to look directly at Cheng Xiao.

Hearing this, the others also looked at Cheng Xiao's cheeks in fear. Suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation appeared in everyone's hearts, and they quickly looked away.

Only the dean of Tianshui College was strong and could resist this inexplicable emotion. After looking at Cheng Xiao for a while, he narrowed his eyes slightly. After hesitating for a long time, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, as if he was not sure.

Cheng Xiao didn't pay much attention to the whispers of several people, and didn't even think of explaining it.

He lived like a savage in the core area for two years, living in the open air and looking very slovenly.

More importantly, compared to two years ago, he is now as tall as an adult, his appearance is also much more mature, and his skin is slightly darker, with a wheat-colored feel.

If you are familiar with him, you might be able to recognize him if you look carefully.

But if he were a stranger, he would never be able to connect him with the white and tender boy from two years ago.

"Are you alone? No partner?" After denying Cheng Xiao's "identity", the dean of Tianshui College asked.

Cheng Xiao shook his head and was about to say no, but suddenly a thought came to his mind and he changed his words: "My partner and I got separated. Now we are planning to leave the Star Dou Forest and meet up at the location we agreed on."

You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.

Although through the two names "Yue'er" and "Bing'er", Cheng Xiao had already made some guesses about the identity of the person in front of him. But Cheng Xiao didn't dare to make random judgments about the other party's character.

Now that my strength has been weakened, I don't have much ability to protect myself. If I say that I am alone, I might not be able to arouse the other party's evil thoughts.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao lied, hoping that the "partner" who had never shown up would have a little deterrent effect.

The dean of Tianshui Academy nodded and suggested: "We happen to be leaving the Star Dou Forest, so why not go with us? There will be many dangers in the Star Dou Forest alone."

"Dean?" Shui Bing'er was a little surprised, obviously not understanding why the dean did this.

Logically speaking, in a place like the Star Dou Forest, murders and robbery of wealth are common, and the dean has told you countless times that you must be careful of strangers and try not to have too much contact with strangers.

But this time, the dean took the lead in violating the principle, which made Shui Binger very puzzled.

The dean shook his head vaguely towards Shui Bing'er, signaling her not to speak, but Shui Bing'er could only close her mouth.

However, Shui Bing'er plucked up the courage and secretly took a peek at Cheng Xiao, very curious.

"Then, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Cheng Xiao smiled, just as he was looking for someone to find out what happened outside in the past two years.

After discussing the matter, Cheng Xiao followed the team from Tianshui College and walked towards the outside of the Star Dou Forest.

In order not to scare everyone, Cheng Xiao put on a hood and hid his entire face in the shadows, which made everyone feel more relaxed.

Along the way, the dean kept making insinuations about Cheng Xiao's origins and Cheng Xiao's strength, but Cheng Xiao cleverly changed the subject.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao was unable to make progress, the dean had no choice but to give up his plan to find out the details, but the doubt in his expression became more intense.

Cheng Xiao was not idle either, inquiring about what had happened outside in the past two years.

In this regard, the dean did not hide anything. It was all dirty information. You could ask just one or two people, so why bother pretending to be sophisticated?

"The past two years have not been peaceful." The dean sighed, shook his head, and said, "The master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect died in the last beast wave, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect blamed the incident on the Spirit Hall. On the body, it is rumored that Wuhun Palace has secretly set up a trap a long time ago, just to weaken the upper three sects and the lower four sects."

"Under the propaganda of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, except for the Qibao Glazed Sect, which was silent, the other four sects joined forces with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to ask for an explanation from Wuhun Palace..."

"Then for unknown reasons, the Elephant Armor Sect rebelled, the alliance fell apart, and several major sects dispersed. But the matter did not end. From time to time, members of the Wuhun Palace were assassinated, and sects such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon were also assassinated one after another. A disciple within the sect was attacked..."

Under the dean's narration, Cheng Xiao finally had a preliminary understanding of what happened in the past two years.

According to Dean Tianshui, the relationship between Wuhun Palace and several major sects is now filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if they don't know when a war will start that will shock the entire continent.

As for the two empires, because of the war before the beast tide, the two sides are now on high alert, and there are often some frictions on the border.

Wuhundian, who was originally the mediator, was held back by several major sects and did not pay attention to the conflicts between the two empires.

Due to the tense situation across the continent, the Senior Soul Master Competition, which was supposed to be held once every five years this year, was postponed for a year.

However, Wuhun Palace promised that this senior soul master competition will not be postponed any longer, and Wuhun Palace will provide three soul bones that are more than 10,000 years old as the championship reward.

This made all the colleges and students feel extremely excited and started practicing crazily.

This shows the attraction of ten thousand year soul bones.

"Hehe, we will definitely win the championship this time." After talking about this, Shui Yue'er couldn't help showing off, "My sister is the ultimate martial soul, and she has a fourth soul ring that goes beyond the limit. We will definitely win this time. ! That soul bone must be ours!"

Shui Bing'er's face turned red and she scolded: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense." (End of Chapter)
