Chapter 386 The temptation to return to the village
After bidding farewell to Bu Yi and the other seven sisters, Zhou Qing set out with Tang San and Xiao Wu to return to the Holy Soul Village.
Romantina followed.
During the winter vacation, because Zhou Qing had assigned her a mission, and she was not an orphan, she had to spend the New Year with Romanak...
It was summer vacation now, and Zhou Qing would need to retrieve information from her brain martial soul for his subsequent research project, so he needed her to go along.
Moreover, for Romantina personally, after staying in the city for a long time, it would be nice to enjoy the countryside scenery occasionally.
Especially since Romantina started practicing with Zhou Qing, her efficiency has improved. In addition, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has also learned the basic theory of meridian circulation, and with the assistance of its powerful mental power, Romantina is able to see inside in advance.
In this short semester, Romantina's soul power increased by four levels to level seventeen.
To this end, she also planned to work harder and upgrade three more levels during this summer vacation, in order to reach level 20 and catch up with the training progress of Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.
After these three people reached the level of Grand Soul Master, the speed of their level improvement slowed down due to the increase in the quality and quantity of soul power required for each level.
Zhou Qing: Level 24.
Tang San: Level 22.
Xiao Wu: Twenty-level.
However, this is also because these three people usually have their own things to do.
Or study martial soul cultivation, soul power cultivation, aura cultivation, or learn from others to improve combat literacy, combat experience, etc. - Zhou Qing.
Or forging and manufacturing soul palaces, soul guides, hidden weapons, etc. in the blacksmith shop - Tang San.
Or helping Buyi host the Notting Academy arena, go shopping, drink and brag with the adventurers in the Notting Guild - Xiao Wu.
of course!
Xiao Wu doesn't just play around all the time. In her spare time, she would calm down and study writing. At Zhou Qing's suggestion, she started to keep a diary, recording what she saw and heard every day, and watching it over and over again, thinking about the differences between human civilization and the natural world of soul beasts.
And think about how to avoid being rejected by humans when soul beasts choose to transform into humans? How to make soul beasts that transform into humans integrate into humans?
After all, once a soul beast transforms, it will not be recognized by other hundred thousand year soul beasts, unless they have a sister-brother relationship like the one between her and Daming and Erming, which has been cultivated since childhood.
Finally, under Zhou Qing's guidance, Xiao Wu came to a preliminary conclusion:
It's not that the soul master craves the soul rings and soul bones of a hundred thousand year soul beast. It's ultimately the soul master's desire for power, which is the instinct of life, and there is nothing wrong with that.
So what went wrong?
The world's fault!
After a soul beast dies, soul rings and soul bones will appear. These two things can also be absorbed by humans... No matter how you think about it, there is a big problem!
Either Douluo Continent favors the human species too much, so that other creatures in the world must become stepping stones for human growth, progress and development.
Or maybe there are other beings in the dark who have modified the rules of Douluo Continent, making it impossible for truly strong beings to appear again from non-human creatures that possess extraordinary powers.
Influenced by Zhou Qing, she felt that the latter possibility was the greatest!
Therefore, Xiao Wu also had a goal to work towards besides hatred. And it was precisely because these three people had to spend time on other things besides practicing that the speed of improving their soul power was actually slowed down.
Romantina's goal in the next three years is to cultivate her soul power and catch up with the progress of Zhou Qing and others. In her spare time, as a teacher at Notting College, she will publish the theory on "Secondary Refining of Soul Rings" compiled by Zhou Qing, so as to provide a foundation for them to display soul rings with more fancy patterns and better soul ring ratios than the best ones today at the Continental Elite Competition three years later.
However, Romantina is not just a tool. In order to "perfect" this theory, she must describe in as much detail as possible the process of using the innate ability of the brain martial soul to explore the martial soul itself and the inside of the soul ring, so as to enhance credibility.
In other words, she must continue to improve her knowledge, at least to the extent of recording all the knowledge related to martial spirits, soul beasts, and soul rings in Notting City.
Even if Romantina cannot cultivate her brain martial soul into a "simulator" or a "supercomputer" in a short period of time, she can only settle for the next best thing and develop her brain martial soul into an information storage library that can store a large amount of memory.
The current positioning of Romantina itself is a "mobile library" with a rather distinct personality...
···
“The roads leading to the outskirts of the village are also much wider.”
After being ten kilometers away from Notting City, walking on the way back to the village, Tang San discovered that the closer he got to the Holy Spirit Village, the wider and flatter the road became.
It is clear!
Over the past six months, residents of Holy Soul Village, along with villagers from other villages, have repaired the road leading to Notting City.
At the entrance of the village, only Uncle Wang and a few elderly villagers were chatting. Next to them were three half-person-high baskets filled with fist-sized red-tipped, white-skinned peaches.
"My kid has been doing radio gymnastics every day recently, and he's getting stronger and stronger!"
"It's the same in my family... we just eat too much."
"What's the big deal? Being able to eat is a blessing! I heard that soul masters have a big appetite. Maybe if they eat a lot, they will awaken their martial souls and have innate soul power in the future."
At this time, Uncle Wang noticed that someone was coming from outside the village. Seeing that it was Zhou Qing and Tang San, he immediately stood up to greet them: "Xiao Qing, Xiao San, you are back? Come and try the big peaches in my house!"
After saying that, Uncle Wang immediately took the two of them to the three baskets filled with large peaches and said that he knew they would be back in the next two days, so he had been waiting here early.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
Zhou Qing was not polite either. He and Tang San each accepted a basket of peaches. Uncle Wang pulled the remaining basket over to Xiao Wu, hoping that she would not be polite and eat as much as she wanted.
After all, Xiao Wu also contributed to sending his wife back to the village safely, and she was also one of the teachers who taught them how to exercise.
only--
Uncle Wang miscalculated. He didn't expect Romantina to come back with Zhou Qing this time, so he only prepared three baskets of big peaches... So, he said, "I'll pick some more," and without waiting for Romantina to speak, he ran directly to the field, ready to pick another basket for her to eat.
The remaining villagers also stuffed sausages and vegetables into the baskets carried by Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu to express their gratitude to them.
Zhou Qing also accepted them one by one, and then asked: "Uncles, where is Grandpa Jack?"
"Old Jack, it's over at the Workers and Peasants Council. Ever since the vegetable market opened, most people in the village have been heading there. After all, our village is the closest to it! Haha!"
"Who says it's not?"
"And that big turtle has become a mascot now..."
