After returning to Xuan Ziwen's laboratory and helping Xuan Ziwen test some experimental data, Xu Tianxi took a stack of envelopes, found a secluded lounge, swallowed a healing holy product, the Xuanwu Divine Pill, and enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation.
Being a guest alone in a foreign land, Xu Tianxi missed his brother every time during the holidays. He decided to read Xu Sanshi's letter first.
"Third brother, I am very happy to see you..."
The address in the first line of the letter made Xu Tianxi smile slightly. Ever since he was promoted to "third brother", his level has never dropped; on the one hand it comes from his brain, and on the other hand it comes from his strength.
Ever since he came to Sun and Moon, the communications between them had become much less frequent, with only one letter every year or so. In his letters, Xu Sanshi mostly talked about what he had seen and heard in Shrek City.
Thanks to this big mouth, Xu Tianxi knew all the major events in Shrek City even though he was thousands of miles away.
"I don't know how you are doing after not seeing you for so many years. I have taken care of you at home. The old man is in good health, so don't worry."
"You may have already known about the attack on Shrek by the Haotian Sect, so I won't go into details here. I can only sigh that the Sea God Pavilion has finally done something humane. It has found an ice-attributed Soul Douluo with a good martial soul from the outside world to work in the inner courtyard, specifically to suppress the evil fire for Ma Xiaotao."
"I heard from that bitch Beibei that the Sea God Pavilion has already issued a house arrest order to Ma Xiaotao, and she is not allowed to leave the inner courtyard until her evil fire problem is solved. Brother, I have finally escaped from the clutches of the devil..."
Xu Sanshi's words were written crookedly, and Xu Tianxi could see from them how agitated he was. After years of misery, it was finally over.
As expected, one will only feel the pain when being beaten. Shrek, whose undefeated myth was severely shattered by the Haotian Sect, could no longer cover up the truth and had to put aside his pride and seek external help to suppress Ma Xiaotao, the time bomb.
But then again, couldn't Mu En and the others be worried that Ma Xiaotao would continue to mess around and cause trouble for Xu Sanshi, causing the Xuanming Sect to come and kill them, so they quickly sought external help?
Xu Tianxi suddenly had a guess that the move made by Haotian Sect this time might have helped Xu Sanshi in some sense and demonstrated the value of the hidden sect's united front.
Continue reading below.
"During the holiday before the New Year, I have completed the second awakening ceremony of my martial soul in the sect, which has stimulated the black tortoise blood deep in my body. As long as I want, I can evolve the Xuanming Tortoise Shield into the Black Tortoise Shield, greatly increasing my combat power. Here I want to thank my third brother for teaching me the book many years ago, and I, your brother, bow to you from afar..."
It seems that I did not take the wrong path this time. This young man is teachable. Xu Tianxi nodded slightly, feeling a faint sense of accomplishment in his heart.
But the next moment, the corner of Xu Tianxi's eye twitched.
"It was only when I returned to the academy that I was shocked to find that the woman who helped me complete the awakening ceremony was actually a student of Shrek Academy. I felt the breath of love and was determined to pursue her, but she was reluctant to accept it because of a shadow in her heart. I would like to ask Third Brother to analyze it for me…"
He picked up the pen and wrote a sentence "I don't understand emotional issues. I suggest you either talk about friendship or pure love. If that doesn't work, just let go and live your own lives." Xu Tianxi directly skipped this paragraph.
The second awakening is ultimately a transaction. One wants the Xuanwu Divine Pill to save his life, and the other wants to get rid of his virginity. Xu Tianxi is not in a position to comment on the cause and effect, it all depends on them.
"Brother, my cultivation has already broken through the 46th level. As one of the Shrek Seven Devils, I will represent the academy in the competition next year. I hope to meet you, Third Brother, and we can have a good chat..."
"According to reliable information, the academy is drawing up the seven candidates for the next competition. There are only four Soul Sect members under the age of fifteen in the outer courtyard. Xiao Xiao, a twin martial soul genius in the first year of the outer courtyard, has been selected internally; the last two places are still controversial. The senior students are not worth using. There is a surge in first-year talents. The White Tiger Family, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and the Haotian Sect all have powerful geniuses enrolled..."
At the end of the letter, Xu Sanshi talked about the selection of the Shrek Seven Devils, saying that it was very rare for the selection of the Seven Devils to fall on the first grade, and focused on describing the performance of this group of people in the freshman competition.
During the freshman competition, Haotian Sect's young master Wang Dong and his teammate Huo Yuhao were attacked and injured by Ma Xiaotao off the court and were unable to participate in subsequent battles, so the team withdrew from the competition early.
Without this group of dark horses, the first, second and third place in the Freshman Competition were won by three Soul Master teams respectively. Dai Huabin, the second son of the White Tiger Family, and his marriage object Zhu Lu won the championship with their martial soul fusion skills. Ning Tian's team from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect came in second, and Pipi Elephant Soul Master Xie Huanyue's team came in third.
According to Xu Sanshi's gossip, the prize for the champion of this freshman competition is a soul bone, which may have been absorbed by Zhu Lu.
During the victory settlement, in order to express the importance of the young master of the Haotian Sect, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were directly given the status of core disciples of the martial soul system, and Huo Yuhao also got the treatment of a core disciple.
"From the looks of it, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao did not display their martial soul fusion skills. It is also possible that they were injured by Ma Xiaotao before they had the chance to display them…"
"In this case, the remaining two positions of the Seven Devils will most likely be taken by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. The competitiveness of the Nether White Tiger is always stronger than a Seven Treasure Glazed Tower, and Dai Huabin's soul power is also the best in the first grade..."
Based on the information provided by Xu Sanshi, Xu Tianxi made an inference.
Suddenly, his expression became strange. "In the original novel, during the attack by the messenger of death, the inner courtyard disciples had Huo Yuhao's reminders, which reduced casualties. This time, without Huo Yuhao's reminders, I wonder if the casualties would be even worse..."
However, this was Shrek's bad luck. With Xu Sanshi's strength, he wanted to protect himself, so he wrote a sentence "Be careful in carrying out the tasks of the Shrek Supervisory Group".
Xu Tianxi put away the envelope and looked at the next one.
This time the letter came from an overseas friend, Tongtian Xiaobaxia.
"Hello, Brother Xu, long time no see..."
"After several years, our tribe has regained its former peace and gradually recovered from the pain of the attack. However, some of our tribe members are still seriously injured or cannot be cured, which makes the beast sad..."
"My aunt is interested in arranging a blind date for the 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle. She wants to try the taste of a large land turtle. She also asked you to help arrange the time. I hope you won't disappoint her..."
"In addition, I recently had an unexpected encounter and swallowed a sea fairy grass, the Celestial Dragon Jade Spirit, which increased my cultivation by ten thousand years and broke through a hundred thousand years. I am adapting to the increased power under the guidance of my grandfather..."
"According to my grandfather, I will soon face the first heavenly tribulation in my life. I hope my luck is good enough..."
This letter from Tongtian Xiaobaxia described the situation within the tribe. Now there are still some Tongtian Baxia of ten thousand or one hundred thousand years old who are in seclusion to recuperate. Several Tongtian Baxia were beaten seriously by the Demon Emperor and died, and even Tongtian Bazu was unable to save their vitality.
Among these tribesmen there were friends of Xiao Baxia, and Xiao Baxia felt very sad. Then he said that one of his aunts heard the news that "a 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle was willing to sell itself and beg for the love of a rich woman from the Baxia tribe", and she was excited to see the prey, so she decided to go ashore once in a while to experience the land customs.
Seeing this, a silent light flashed across Xu Tianxi's eyes. He really didn't expect that after sending a letter with the mentality of trying to contact the golden hawksbill turtle, there was actually a female dragon turtle in the Tongtian Baxia clan who was interested.
According to Xiao Ba Xia, his aunt had a good cultivation base, even higher than his father's, and had survived three heavenly tribulations, otherwise she would not dare to leave the sea easily. It should be noted that the combat power of sea soul beasts would be increased when fighting in the ocean, but once they went ashore, their strength would be weakened.
"A giant dragon turtle that's over 300,000 years old. I don't know if the golden hawksbill turtle can hold on. Don't cry when you get back..."
Finally, Xiao Ba Xia mentioned his current situation. He was swimming on the sea and swallowed a rare treasure by mistake. He was suddenly transformed from a 90,000-year-old soul beast into a 100,000-year-old beast king. In a few years, he would have to face a terrible heavenly calamity and he was a little scared.
Originally, with his powerful bloodline as the direct grandson of Tongtian Bazu, he would have to wait until at least the third or fourth heavenly tribulation before he began to worry. However, the hardest tortoise shell in his body was shattered by the Demon Emperor a few years ago. The new tortoise shell is still not mature enough and the old wounds have not healed. His current condition is very dangerous.
For soul beasts whose lifespans can easily be tens of thousands of years, a few years is far too short a time. It is not enough for Xiao Ba Xia to heal his old injuries and cultivate a tortoise shell of the same level as the original one.
Xu Tianxi didn't know whether to say that Tongtian Xiaoba was too lucky or too unlucky. How many soul beasts dreamed of increasing their cultivation by ten thousand years, but for him it became a fatal poison.
"Look at how serious this matter is... Crossing the Tribulation... For the sake of our friendship, I'll try to see if I can help you..."
His mind fell on the last part of living gold in the golden hawksbill turtle's belly. Xu Tianxi felt that for the sake of Xiao baxia and Tongtian bazu, he needed to go out to sea.
With Tongtian Bazu's temperament, if he saves his grandson again, he will probably have no problem running around with his name in the future. By then, even if Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui come, he will dare to stand and speak loudly.
A mere human Ultimate Douluo with a dual soul core of isotopic resonance dares to get angry with a sea soul beast overlord who has cultivated a dual soul core of yin and yang complementation? If you dare to mess around, I will teach you a lesson!
"In addition, there are several overlords in the clan who are seriously injured and difficult to treat... Let's ask Elder Yi about this and see if he can remember the relevant memories of the soul..."
In the sea of spirit, the spiritual body Xu Tianxi sent a calling thought in the direction of the Eye of Living Beings.
Electrolux woke up after hearing the news, and seeing that it was Xu Tianxi, he asked curiously, "Xiao Tianxi, what do you want to call me for?"
"Something happened in the family of a soul beast friend of mine, and several of his clansmen are nearing the end of their lives. I would like to ask you, old man, if there is any way to solve it." Xu Tianxi said with a smile.
"I can't do such a thing easily, it's not easy to do..." Alex shook his head and smiled, indicating that even if he was the Holy God of the Dead, he couldn't easily interfere with life and death.
"Then is there any way to prolong their lives a little longer?" Xu Tianxi asked patiently.
"Extend it a little? That's not easy. If they are already helpless, it would only be a waste of vitality even if we give them the Gold of Life... unless..."
Alex said that the gold of life can save the living but not the dead. A hazy memory came to his mind, and he said hesitantly: "In my memory, there seem to be two special rituals that can conclude magical contracts. The soul masters and soul rings in your world are quite interesting..."
"If I can apply the two rituals from my world here, perhaps I can allow soul masters to sign contracts with soul beasts, allowing dying soul beasts to live for a while longer with the soul master's vitality, and the soul master can also get better soul rings..."
Xu Tianxi's eyes lit up, "Then it all depends on you..."
"I haven't recalled those memories yet. I can't do it for now. I need to sleep for a while..."
Electrolux interrupted Xu Tianxi and said that he was not an omnipotent wishing well.
"Okay, okay, then you take a rest first, I won't disturb you..."
Xu Tianxi regained consciousness and returned to the real world.
The last letter was from Xu Xiaoyun and was very brief.
"My grandson Tianxi, I have accomplished my mission. I will go to the Body Sect to find the secret of awakening the Body Martial Soul and the magical herbs for the Seven Monsters to become gods for you. I will be here for you, don't worry."
After reading this extremely short sentence, Xu Tianxi's eyes twitched and a lot of thoughts flooded into his mind. He was extremely moved but also a little worried.
"It's safe to go find Du Bu Si with your ultimate cultivation. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire that nurtures the immortal grass is the private property of the God King Tang... If he goes there... it won't be a big problem. The God King Tang shouldn't pay much attention to him.
But the Body Sect is the sect that protects the Tianhun Empire, and they fight much harder than Shrek. We must not let them know about the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Otherwise, with the way the Body Sect behaves, I'm afraid they will turn the tables…"
Thinking of this, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but frown, and then sighed slightly.
"I have to go to the Tianhun Empire. I can choose not to enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, but I must prevent the Body Sect from seeing that peerless blessed land..."
Five minutes later, in the dean's office.
"What did you say? Did you use the power of destiny to see some fragments of the future again?"
Jing Hongchen slammed the table and stood up, looking at Xu Tianxi with burning eyes.
"Yes." Xu Tianxi nodded: "This time the location is the Sunset Forest of the Tianhun Empire..."
