Chapter 9: Mother Gu Recovers! Heading to Seven Treasures City!
Gu An reached out and, just in time, slapped Leng Yaozhu's pert backside.
Snapped.
The sound was crisp and clear.
Wave after wave.
Leng Yaozhu cried out, not expecting to be attacked from behind.
She loosened her grip on Gu An slightly, looked down at him, and two blushes rose on her cheeks.
Before she could ask, Gu An said fiercely.
"I'm talking to you about serious matters! Are you taking advantage of my young age?"
"Wait until I grow up."
Seeing Gu An's sullen expression, Leng Yaozhu blushed and burst out laughing.
Gu An felt like he had been hit hard.
It means the other party ignored your attack and mocked you.
Before Gu An could react again, Leng Yaozhu stopped smiling and got down to business.
"I've never eaten 'meat fairy grass'."
"However, I don't need it."
"I have already become a Limit Douluo, and even touched the threshold of demigod."
"The magical herb is useless to me."
After listening, Gu An nodded and didn't say anything more.
He turned his gaze back to the earth vein root in his hand.
The golden patterns on the surface of the herb shimmered in the firelight.
Without further hesitation, Gu An put the Earth Vein Root into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
A warm sensation rose from my abdomen and flowed slowly along my meridians.
The feeling was as if an invisible hand was gradually gathering, compacting, and purifying the scattered soul power within his body.
Gu An closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to guide this power to circulate within his body.
Leng Yaozhu sat down opposite him, her gaze fixed on Gu An's face, a lingering smile on her lips.
During the time that Gu An sat cross-legged in the Star Dou Great Forest, absorbing the medicinal power of the earth vein's mystic root with his eyes closed.
Tang Ya was waiting for Huo Yuhao's reply.
Looking at Beibei and Tang Ya, the latter felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.
He hadn't been treated like this in a very, very long time since he escaped from the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Looking at Tang Ya's expectant expression.
He just couldn't refuse.
With both old and new grudges combined, he yearned to become stronger than ever before.
The titled Douluo with fiery red hair, the boy she was holding in her arms, and the White Tiger Duke and the others.
He raised his head, looked at Tang Ya and Bei Bei, and said firmly.
"Sister Tang Ya, I'm willing to join the Tang Clan."
Tang Ya's eyes lit up, her mouth opened wide, and then she grabbed Bei Bei's arm and shook it vigorously.
"Beibei, did you hear that?! He's willing to join!"
Beibei was shaken so badly she could barely stand, but she nodded with a smile.
"I heard it, I heard it."
And so, Huo Yuhao became a member of the Tang Sect.
The three of them headed towards Shrek Academy.
During the day they traveled, and at night Bei Bei and Tang Ya took turns teaching Huo Yuhao the Tang Clan's unique skills.
The Jade Hand, controlling cranes and capturing dragons, a ghostly shadow...
Huo Yuhao trained very hard.
He practices every move and stance a hundred times, while others practice ten times.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the magnificent walls of Shrek City came into view, Tang Ya let out a long breath and put her hands on her hips.
"We've finally arrived!"
Huo Yuhao stood behind her, looking up at the majestic city, his eyes reflecting the shadow of the city walls.
Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.
He must become stronger here, strong enough to take revenge.
at the same time.
In that small village on the edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Gu An had already absorbed the earth vein's profound root and returned home.
He was packing his things, his face radiating utter despair.
Leng Yaozhu stood next to him, reached out and patted his shoulder, a smile curving her lips.
His tone was clearly tinged with amusement.
Why are you so frustrated?
"You know it too, your level seventeen soul power is all superficial."
"Going back to level 14 is the best outcome now."
"Look at your foundation now, how solid it is."
Gu An sighed, fell backward, and lay on the ground in a starfish position.
His eyes were fixed on the roof beam, and his tone was full of displeasure.
"Of course I know."
"I'm just annoyed."
After absorbing the earth vein's profound root, the soul power within his body was repeatedly compressed and condensed.
The originally inflated level 17 soul power was forcibly suppressed back to level 14.
The soul power level has decreased.
But their strength has actually increased compared to before.
The feeling of lightness and lack of strength that I had before completely disappeared.
Instead, it has a solid, responsive feel that feels like an extension of your own arm.
The meridians were widened by more than double.
When the soul power flows through the body, it is no longer the loose stream it used to be, but has become a torrent confined to a riverbed.
But he was still unhappy.
People who eat fairy grass experience rapid increases in their level.
He ate the magic herb and lost a level.
Why should I?
At that moment, the door to the room next door was pushed open.
Mother Gu came out from inside.
Gu An's eyes lit up instantly, and the dejection on his face vanished completely.
He rolled over in bed and sat up, grinning as he spoke.
"Mom, you look so beautiful now!"
When Gu's mother came out and heard this, her face first turned slightly red, and then she reached out and pinched Gu An's ear precisely.
"Is your mother very old now?"
"I already told you I don't need the magic herb, but you still forced it into my mouth!"
His tone was fierce.
But her eyes were red.
God knows why her son suddenly changed so much after he came back.
He's grown taller, his features have matured, and he's become more handsome than before.
Moreover, he somehow obtained a magical herb and, without saying a word, stuffed it into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it.
After the herb entered her stomach, a warm power flowed through her body.
The hidden injuries inflicted by Xuanzi's palm strike over the years had tormented her for countless days and nights with these stubborn wounds...
It gradually dissolves under the force of the medicine.
It has fully recovered.
Not only that, her soul power has taken a big step forward, and she is only one step away from becoming a Soul Saint.
At the same time, she looked radiant, her skin improved, her complexion improved, and her mindset became younger.
Gu An didn't struggle even though his mother was twisting his ear.
Instead, he took the opportunity to hug Gu's mother's waist, pressed his face against her body, and put on a pitiful look.
"Of course Mom isn't old, she's beautiful."
"But I can't live without you."
"You don't want the immortal herb, but do you want to see your son completely ignorant of music?"
His tone was pitiful.
Gu's mother released his ear and instead gently stroked the back of his head.
Of course she knew her son was just trying to coax her.
She taught him music from a young age, and he was incredibly talented; he played the flute better than she did.
I said that just to put her mind at ease.
Mother Gu lowered her head, looking at the little head in her arms, her eyes full of doting affection.
"Leave it to me, I'll teach you properly."
Leng Yaozhu stood aside, quietly watching this scene.
She didn't speak, a slight smile playing on her lips, but deep in her eyes lay a hint of envy.
She thought of her younger sister.
Chongjie and Nimei.
The two of them have been arguing since they were children, and they can start fighting over the slightest disagreement.
The two became enemies because of a stranger.
She has now been summoned to this world, and all her previous emotions have been stripped away.
The feelings I had for those people in my memory are gone.
But family members are different after all.
Leng Yaozhu sighed softly to herself.
"I hope I can draw my sister next time."
She felt that without all the messy emotional entanglements of the past, she and her sister should no longer become enemies.
Gu An peeked out from his mother's arms and looked at the two women in front of him.
These are all the people he trusts most right now.
He clapped his hands, got out of bed, and stood up.
"Alright, now that everything is ready, let's set off for Qibao City!"
Gu's mother and Leng Yaozhu exchanged a glance.
Smile at each other.
We'll do whatever Gu An says.
They would give their lives for him.
Gu's mother picked up Gu An, and Leng Yaozhu followed beside her, wanting to hug him as well.
Unfortunately, the opportunity is gone.
The three of them left.
As they set off for Qibao City to establish the academy.
In Shrek City.
Huo Yuhao has officially joined Shrek Academy.
When I returned to my dormitory.
He finally met his roommate, Wang Dong, who was dressed as a man, and the dog chain that Tang Dashenwang used to keep Huo Yuhao in check.
As a result of Wang Dong's arrogant attitude, the two immediately challenged each other to a fight.
In front of Elder Mu En, the head of the Sea God Pavilion.
A hand-to-hand combat ensued, but Huo Yuhao, disregarding martial ethics, used a soul skill.
"Soul Impact!"
The first soul ring he received from the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was one of his four soul skills.
Wang Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, his head throbbed with pain, and he clutched his head as he backed away.
Defeat.
He's already used a million-year soul skill, so this is the only option left.
The next day, Huo Yuhao officially began his classes.
His class teacher was none other than Zhou Yi, the old witch who had mastered the Yu Xiaogang Running Technique!
Just as Huo Yuhao was experiencing the thrill of Zhou Yi's teaching...
Outside Qibao City.
Three figures appeared in the air.
