SWNOVELXO Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Electrolux
"What's wrong, Brother Tian Meng?" At this moment, Huo Yuhao had figured out what had happened to him and knew he had been incredibly lucky. He asked the Tian Meng Iceworm doubtfully. Since just now, the Tian Meng Iceworm had been extremely cautious, as if danger could strike at any moment, almost wishing it could curl into a ball.
"Nothing, Yuhao. There are two humans guarding you outside. They don't seem to have any ill intentions towards you. You should go out quickly." The Tian Meng Iceworm couldn't very well tell Huo Yuhao that it, a dignified million-year soul beast, had almost peed itself from fright, could it? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
"Guarding me? Could it be them?" Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He no longer had any close friends or relatives in this world. After much thought, the only possibilities were Beibei and Tang Ya, who had previously shared his grilled fish.
After the Tian Meng Iceworm sent Huo Yuhao's spiritual body out of the mental space, it looked up at the gray light sphere above the sea of consciousness, its eyes filled with annoyance and solemnity.
When it had fused with Huo Yuhao, this gray light sphere had barged in and tried to snatch its territory. How could that not infuriate it? What made it even more aggrieved was that its own million-year level spiritual force couldn't contend with this gray light sphere within the sea of consciousness.
This situation made the Tian Meng Iceworm wary and cautious of the gray light sphere. After all, on this Douluo Continent, existences that could overpower it in spiritual force were extremely rare. Yet, it had recently encountered two, and each was more abnormal than the last. How could this not make it question its life?
"I can't believe a trace of my remnant soul survived and even came to this unfamiliar plane. Was that a demigod of this plane just now?" Within the gray light sphere, a phantom figure murmured softly.
Electrolux, who had just awakened after traversing worlds, didn't plan to communicate with others immediately. Instead, he quietly observed this new, unfamiliar world and the human boy he was attached to.
But he never expected that he would encounter a demigod, something almost unheard of in his own world, right after waking up. Meeting an existence with a divine sense, just like himself, right after arriving in this world, made Electrolux wonder if this world was even higher-ranked than his original one.
"You scared me to death, Beibei! I thought something really bad was going to happen! But speaking of which, that white-haired one earlier was so handsome!" Tang Ya patted her considerable chest with a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Jingming and his group leave directly. Then her eyes lit up as she exclaimed excitedly.
"Really?" Although Beibei inwardly admitted that Lu Jingming's appearance was indeed superior to his own, and he usually didn't care much about such things, Tang Ya's comment somehow made him feel a little concerned.
"Hehe, you're jealous, aren't you, Beibei?" Tang Ya's eyes darted, and a teasing look appeared on her face as she bantered.
"No, Teacher Xiaoya, you're overthinking it. Let's check on Yuhao first. He's still unconscious." Beibei subtly changed the subject, trying to get Tang Ya to drop the topic.
Hearing Beibei's address for her, Tang Ya's face immediately showed a triumphant expression. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Beibei, I was talking about that white-haired big sister being super handsome! Where did your mind go? I'm not some infatuated girl."
Beibei's mouth twitched slightly, speechless for a moment. He was clearly caught by Tang Ya.
"Sister Xiaoya, Brother Beibei..." At this awkward moment, Huo Yuhao woke up, timely helping Beibei out of the predicament and successfully distracting Tang Ya.
"Those two just now, they must be students from Shrek Academy, right? A Great Soul Master and a Soul Elder, actually daring to come to the Star Dou Great Forest? Their guts are really something!" Zhang Lexuan recognized the uniforms worn by Beibei and and Tang Ya at a glance, which were indeed the attire of Shrek Academy Outer Court disciples.
"You're mistaken there, Sister Lexuan. There weren't just three of them just now," Lu Jingming said with a light chuckle. Although Zhang Lexuan had already broken through to the Soul Douluo realm, in terms of sensing ability, she still couldn't compare to the detection soul tool Herta had made for him.
Although he himself couldn't perceive the person hidden in the dark just now, on the Douluo Continent, even if these powerhouses could conceal their aura and soul power, they simply didn't know how to conceal their life magnetic fields. Within the detection range of the detection soul tool made by Herta, even an Ultimate Douluo would find it hard to hide.
Moreover, Beibei was the only great-grandson of Dragon God Douluo Mu En and the sole successor of his lineage. How could Mu En rest assured letting Beibei and Tang Ya, two young people, come alone to this dangerous Star Dou Great Forest? Therefore, it was only logical that someone was secretly protecting them.
Zhang Lexuan suddenly realized this upon hearing him speak. That made sense; even for Shrek Academy's Outer Court disciples acquiring soul rings, there should be a teacher leading the team. There was no reason for students in their weaker stages to acquire soul rings on their own.
"The gears of fate have already begun to turn. I want to make this continent even more lively," Lu Jingming said with an excited smile, an ice-blue gem appearing in his right hand at some point. He held the gem high, pointing it at the sun. In an instant, the ice-blue gem shone brightly under the sunlight.
However, Zhang Lexuan felt an extremely cold aura emanating from the gem. At the same time, the energy fluctuations emitted by the ice-blue gem felt very familiar to Zhang Lexuan. Wasn't this the energy obtained after the holographic strategy? According to Lu Jingming's previous statement, it was a high-level energy called Honkai Energy.
Looking at the excited expression on Lu Jingming's face, Zhang Lexuan sighed inwardly. She knew in her heart that Lu Jingming was starting to stir up trouble again, and judging by the situation, this time it was likely to be a big one.
"That Divine King's script has already begun. He probably won't mind if I also become a player, but who should be the chess piece?" Lu Jingming's lips curved into a slight smile as he carelessly played with the gem in his hand, lost in thought. Although he wanted to stir up trouble, he wouldn't involve Sea Abyss City, so creating an alias was extremely necessary, and he didn't plan to personally get involved either.
Sea Abyss City, St. Freya Academy.
"You went to the Star Dou Great Forest and hunted two 100,000-year soul beasts?" When Gu Yue learned that Lu Jingming and Zhang Lexuan had each absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring, and that these were 100,000-year soul beasts hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest, she was utterly stunned. She had only been in seclusion for a breakthrough for a while, and when she came out, she found out her home had been raided.
It would be one thing for 100,000-year soul beasts from other places, but the 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were all her subordinates! Lu Jingming went to the Star Dou Great Forest and killed two of her subordinates. How could Gu Yue not feel speechless?
