The teachers and students returned to Shrek Academy, and gathered the next day to ring the bell in the morning
The nine stood in a straight line as they listened to the great master as he stood before them with his hands behind his back:
"In two months, you will go to the Sky Dou Empire Academy. During these two months, I will not begin the third training phase, but under two conditions. First, you will deal with your own problems on your own. Second, I want you to absorb what you have learned from the spiritual battles you have fought and focus on cultivating your soul."
With that said, Flender, standing at the side, continued:
"You can leave"
Everyone left to mind their own business. Later, Zhang Yong headed to the great master's office. He knocked on the door and entered, "Master."
The teacher raised his head from the papers as he sat in his office to look at who had entered, "Zhang Yong, what's going on?"
Zhang Yong slowly walked a few steps towards the teacher before stopping and saying:
"Master, I will be going to train in the Du Star Forest during this period."
The teacher looked curiously at Zhang Yong, furrowing his eyebrows:
"Why? Did you reach Rank Thirty so quickly, if so you can talk to Zhao Wuji to accompany you to obtain a Spiritual Ring."
Zhang Yong shook his head, disapproving what he said, "No, it's not like that. Rather, I want to go and develop myself."
The teacher's irises widened and his gaze changed to become sharp, "You know that the monsters in the Du Star Forest are particularly dangerous, and according to what the dean told me, you have previously encountered Titan Giant Ape , so let me ask you, why?"
Zhang Yong looked at the ground for a moment, inhaled, and said, "Master, you have already told us to absorb what we have learned from spiritual battles, and I have already realized what I am missing. Besides, I am not stupid to throw myself into danger. I know my limits well."
With an unimpressed expression, the Grandmaster asked, "Really? Then tell me what you're missing."
Zhang Yong looked at the teacher and said:
"What I lack is not one thing but many things, but what I lack most is instinct."
The teacher's eyes widened for a moment and said:
"What do you mean?"
Follow Naoto:
"Among everyone, I lack a high ability to respond to different situations. Even if others praise me, it does not mean that what they say is true. My planning ability cannot be compared to Tang San. He in particular has a high intuition that enables him to think of solutions to every situation, with twice the result and a half effort"
The teacher's face was as firm and straight as an unshakable mountain. He closed his eyes for a second and said:
"It is good that you realize what you are missing. I allow you to go to the Star Forest, but do not try to fight monsters stronger than you."
Zhang Yong bowed in thanks to the teacher, turned towards the door, and with his hand on the handle he heard the teacher's voice again.
"As another piece of advice, do not compare yourself to others, each person has his own advantages and disadvantages."
Zhang Yong turned his face towards the teacher and nodded with a smile on his face, then opened the door and left the room while slowly closing the door behind him.
As the sound of the creaking door closing disappeared, a small smile appeared on the great master's face
'This kid is impressive, I'm curious what his future will be like, but his name will definitely shine on the continent.'
As Zhang Yong exited the building, a smile appeared on his face as he thought
'Looks like I'm going back to that place'
As he took his steps quietly, he heard a voice calling him
"Zhang Yong!"
He turned around to see the caller, Yuan Ling was running towards him. He stood and waited for her to come
"What is there?"
When Yuan Ling arrived in front of Zhang Yong, she was panting slowly and in her hand she was holding a wooden box wrapped in a handkerchief that she gave him:
"Take this with you"
Zhang Yong looked at her surprised:
"Aren't you going to stop me?"
Yuan Ling held her hand and looked to the side:
"What is the benefit of trying to convince someone with a stiff head like you? If I had tried, would you have listened to me?"
Zhang Yong looked at her with a small smile on his face and replied:
"Of course not, rather how did you know I was leaving?"
"I've known you longer than most. You're crazy about training. If you were told that you could train effectively in a volcano, you would have jumped without hesitation."
Zhang Yong patted Yuan Ling on the head and turned around as he left, saying:
"You better train hard and reach rank thirty."
With those words said, Zhang Yong had disappeared from Yuan Ling's field of vision, so she turned back
in the way....
Zhang Yong looked at the sky before calling out to his mind:
'Uni, tell me the features of the new update'
(Well, after the update the fourthmost floor of the store has been opened, and a new feature has been added
{pet space})
'As tempting as this is, I want to know more about this space.'
(The host can create a contract with spirit beasts
Provided that it is at the will of the beast or that it submits completely to you, a separate space will be created for the pet in which it can remain, but the number that can be tamed is limited, and to open a vacant place, points must be paid. Secondly, upon successfully concluding the contract, loyalty comes into play. The higher the loyalty, the lower the rate of betrayal. monster to the host)
'Wait, you mean he can hurt me and you won't do anything to save me then?'
(Of course not. If you were the one who offended the monster so that he rebelled against you, then I have nothing to do with saving you. Remember that you are responsible for your own life, and do not expect to be reincarnated if you die.)
'Doesn't this mean that the contract will be more like a restriction for me than a benefit?'
(So let me finish first, even with the possibility of betrayal. On the other hand, if the monster's loyalty rate reaches 90%, the host can borrow its power.)
'That's great, now tell me something interesting in the store.'
(A new group of elixirs, the most noteworthy of which is a double-strength elixir. It doubles your spiritual and physical strength, but the side effects cause harm to your body. If you drink two bottles, you will become much stronger, but you will be on the verge of death if you do not die from the force of the laws of the world.)
With Yuni constantly explaining the store's new offerings, Zhang Yong had already left the Shrek Academy area
Zhang Yong looked around, with no one around and cutting off some distance from the academy, it would prevent the soul energy fluctuations from being detected by the Shrek Academy teachers, he unleashed his Thousand Year Spirit Ring. Black feathers pierced his skin from the inside. Wings appeared on his back and looked at her.
"It's amazing. It's a shame it's not like Tang San's External Soul Bones."
For a moment, Zhang Yong felt his body go cold before the Ice Empress's voice uttered:
'You have soul bones that are more than a hundred thousand years old and you are still complaining, I will double your training after this.'
A confused expression appeared on Zhang Yong's face but he couldn't help it
With the spirit energy spreading, he flew at a low altitude. The road he was flying on was unpaved as he passed between trees, although he had to be careful not to collide with the trees because the speed he was flying at was high. However, this road would make it difficult to fly. Others watch it
'Walking this fast is fine, but I have to go faster.'
As he thought, he activated his second soul ring, but instead of creating fires to increase his speed, he accidentally ignited his wings with flames.
"What the hell?!"
Although the wings were burning, it did not hurt him or hurt him, but on the contrary, his speed increased even more
Zhang Yong suddenly stopped and sat on the ground, catching his breath
He had covered more than two hundred kilometers in an hour and a half
He pulled out some leftover hot dogs from what Oscar had given him a long time ago and began eating them
"How did my wings turn like this?"
The Ice Jade Empress answered calmly:
'Apparently it's a Soul Ring mutation, you were complaining about not getting an external bone but you got this mutation.'
Naoto furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and said:
'What do you mean?'
The Empress sighed and crossed her arms, her jade-colored eyes slowly shining:
'You really don't understand anything. It can be said that your Thousand Year Spirit Ring is like empty space. If you fill it with something red, it will become red. If you fill it with something blue, it will become blue. But if you drop too many colors, it may be destroyed without return. This is what I can deduce so far. So don't exaggerate if you don't know the risks.'
Zhang Yong knew that if the Soul Master Ring was destroyed, it could not be restored or replaced, and he might end up never being able to break through to his rank.
Zhang Yong rose from the ground, and now that he had regained his soul energy, he continued his journey, this time relying on his flaming wings.
After more than two hours had passed, he had arrived at the Du Star Forest without stopping for a long time
"Now that I have arrived, I will go find the Thousand-Year-Old Beast."
The map window appeared in front of Zhang Yong and with it the closest spirit beast was the Blood Wolf King with five wolves surrounding it
After spotting his location, Zhang Yong ran towards him at full speed. He wasn't that far away. After standing ten meters behind the blood wolf, his red soul ring rose from between his feet. He extended his hand in front of him and said.
"Ice Domain + Ice Memory Freezing Earth, Judgment Arena"
As the words came out of his mouth, ice shot out beneath his feet, causing the area in a sixty meter radius to freeze instantly. Even the wolves could not survive and instantly froze to become beautiful blue statues of ice. The move he used with his ring was combined with the strengthening of the Eternal Ice Memory skill.
Naoto grabbed the Spirit Dagger and destroyed the statues very quickly
(Congratulations to the host who was killed by the 1,289-year-old Blood Wolf King and five ordinary Blood Wolves
The host got it
37780 experience points
15,000 feelings points)
"Now that you've got some points, it's time."
(Host purchased key for 10,000 points)
(Please go to the relevant area)
While reading the system window, the map window appeared, and this time a black spot appeared
However, Naoto heard a loud squawking sound from the sky. He raised his head and a black silhouette appeared, obscured by the sun, but it did not have any hostile intent. Zhang Yong only felt it when it fell on his head.
"What?"
When Zhang Yong looked, there was a large black bird standing in front of him and it was scratching its beak with its head
"Kuro!"
As Zhang Yong said the name, the bird shouted powerfully and happily. Zhang Yong patted its head and the system notification appeared
(Do you want to buy a pet contract badge for 5000 points)
Zhang Yong seemed to understand what the system was implying. He immediately agreed and a small blue circle appeared on his palm. With his hand placed on Kuro's head, another notice was heard.
(The "Void Bird" called "Kuro" has been registered in the system database)
(Name: Kuro
Type: Vacuum bird
Relationship: Father and daughter
Loyalty: 97%
)
'Daddy'
Zhang Yong turned right and left to see the source of the sound, but there was no one there
"Who's there?"
'Daddy'
When he looked at Kuro, Kuro was staring at him deeply
He could tell he was happy
Zhang Yong looked at him and thought
'It can't be...'
"Kuroo, did you call me?"
'Daddy...food'
"Is Kuro...female!?"
(You may not know, but with the contract, both parties are given the ability to telepathy)
With that said, Zhang Yong understood why Kuro was unable to communicate normally. After observing him closely, he had already reached the age of four thousand years in just four months. The speed of his development was insane. When a spirit beast reached the age of ten thousand years, it could think like a human. After reaching one hundred thousand years, he can speak like a human
Zhang Yong gently scratched the back of his head
"Okay, I can't help it. Can you take me to the area I want?"
With Zhang Yong saying that, Kuro turned around with her back towards him, motioning for him to ride. Her current size had reached two and a half meters, so her wingspan was at least twice the length of a stork's. Zhang Yong climbed onto Kuro's back and flew him upwards.
Following the system's instructions, after a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yong arrived at the aforementioned area
"Here, Kuroo."
Kuro landed between the trees and landed in front of a small cave. Zhang Yong got down from above her and gently patted her on the head.
'Papa...Master...Giant'
Zhang Yong didn't understand what Kuro meant and asked
"What do you mean"
'Teacher...bull...monkey'
Naoto understood that she was talking about the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, he didn't know the whole story, he nodded.
"You can go"
As his words rang out, Kuro flew up, but Zhang Yong still felt her presence. This was a characteristic of the decade
Zhang Yong turned around and entered the cave. It brought back old, familiar memories. The runes engraved on the wall did not change, and the smell of the earth and the dampness inside did not increase or decrease.
The cave was closed from the inside. There was a wall in front of him. He put his hand on the wall and closed his eyes. He noticed the hole in the wall in the shape of a keyhole.
Zhang Yong took out the key he had bought, put it in the hole and turned it, suddenly a notification appeared
(The host has entered the secret area
Do you want to start the task?
yes/no)
"It's been twelve years since the last time, time really flies, huh."
(Choose difficulty level
Easy level
Intermediate level
Hard level)
"Why don't I take a little risk?"
Zhang Yong pressed the hard level button and the wall disappeared, replaced by a scene of a cloudy blue sky
Zhang Yong stared at the scene calmly and felt a gentle breeze coming out of the gate, making his clothes and hair flutter lightly.
"This is a little different than before."
With his words, he threw his body through the portal towards a new place
