92: Chapter 92 Di Tian, He Has Arrived
"Cough, cough."
The referee brushed the dust off his body and began to announce the results of the match: "I announce that the winner of this match is the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team!"
Following the referee's announcement, the stands instantly erupted in thunderous applause.
"Ma Rulong!!!"
"Ma Rulong!!!"
"Ma Rulong!!!"
This time, the name the audience shouted was no longer the Child of Light and Darkness, but Ma Rulong, the Ma Rulong who ended the match with a single sword strike that seemed to cleave the yin and yang, twilight and dawn.
This match also made the audience realize once again that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team was never just about Mu Qingci alone.
At this moment, Ma Rulong was exhausted due to the depletion of his Soul Power.
The level-eight melee spirit tool, the sword of judgment, was not so easy to use.
This time, he did not activate the sword of judgment at the cost of consuming his own talent, but merely exhausted his Soul Power; in comparison, consuming Soul Power was nothing at all.
Listening to the cheers from the audience in the stands, a sincere, satisfied smile appeared on Ma Rulong's paper-white face.
Being able to use this peak level-eight melee spirit tool, the sword of judgment, and perfectly unleash its power, Ma Rulong felt that he would have no regrets even if he died.
He was already exhausted, and with his vision going black, he collapsed.
Beside him, Mu Qingci hurriedly supported Ma Rulong.
Mu Qingci had already recovered twenty percent of his Soul Power by this time, so supporting Ma Rulong was still manageable.
Ye Guyi hurried over to support Mu Qingci, and the three of them walked off the competition stage together.
...
Mu Qingci looked at the opponents for the upcoming matches; the strength of the opponents in the remaining rounds of the round-robin tournament was very average, and even without him, his teammates could easily win.
Looking at the map of the Douluo Continent he had bought, Mu Qingci muttered: "It is time to go and get those things."
His gaze rested on a corner of the map, where the name of that place was marked: Sunset Forest.
Mu Qingci usually stayed in the Sun Moon Empire and did not have many opportunities to come to the three Douluo nations, so he had to take advantage of this competition to seize the opportunities as early as possible, and the Immortal Plants were among the greatest opportunities.
Immortal Plants, treasures born of heaven and earth, if used properly, were existences that could change a Spirit Master's life.
Among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Ma Hongjun was able to evolve his Spirit and purify it by relying on that top-grade Immortal Plant, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and no longer had to suffer from the erosion of evil fire.
And his descendant, Ma Xiaotao, was probably still enduring the torment of the evil fire at this moment.
After all, this time Huo Yuhao did not have Ultimate Ice; although the ice attribute of his second Spirit was still very powerful, it certainly could not compare to Ultimate Ice, and thus, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire could not be effectively suppressed.
If the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team were to use the sword of judgment to deal with Ma Xiaotao just like in the original story, she would likely turn dark even faster and become the Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult sooner.
And among the original Seven Devils, another person whose life was changed by an Immortal Plant was, naturally, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong.
Without the Immortal Plant, the Tulip, her Spirit could not have evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Without the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, even breaking through to Spirit Douluo would be a problem for her, let alone becoming a Titled Douluo, or even becoming a god.
Dismissing the thoughts in his mind, Mu Qingci put away the map.
Without specifically saying goodbye to his teammates, Mu Qingci left a note in his room and departed.
Black wings unfurled behind his back, and he transformed into a black meteor, flying towards the outside of the city.
On the way to the Sunset Forest, he would pass through the Star Dou Great Forest.
To avoid some unnecessary trouble, Mu Qingci chose to walk along the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest, taking a slight detour.
The reason he did not go directly around the Star Dou Great Forest was that if he really did that, the time wasted would not be just a day or two; after all, the periphery was vast, and wanting to bypass it would be very time-consuming and laborious.
It would be enough to just bypass the core area, or even the mixed area.
...
At this moment, in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.
The Auspicious Beast, who was sleeping under the comfort of Bi Ji, suddenly opened its eyes and looked in a direction outside the forest.
Bi Ji looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with some concern: "What is wrong, Auspicious Beast? Did you have another nightmare?"
Ever since that day when her forehead touched Mu Qingci's, and she saw the image of her own death in the fragments of his memory, that scene had been deeply engraved in the heart of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, becoming her nightmare.
For these past days, she had been having nightmares every day, and she had become haggard, leaving the various fierce beasts anxious and at a loss, not knowing how to solve it.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head; her awakening this time was not because of a nightmare, but rather...
She looked at the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, who was also looking at her at this moment.
A slightly haggard female voice sounded: "Di Tian, it is that human; he has come."
Di Tian seemed to have guessed the result long ago; he did not speak, but the space elements around him surged, and he disappeared from where he stood.
Mu Qingci had already entered the peripheral area of the Star Dou Great Forest; he tried his best to fly in the periphery, not going to the mixed area or the core area.
He flew at an accelerated speed.
Ever since he entered the scope of the Star Dou Great Forest, he felt a strange sensation coming from his forehead.
That feeling was calling him to head towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Mu Qingci knew that this was the resonance generated between him and the Auspicious Beast.
But he did not want to face those fierce beasts at this moment; his current strength was not yet powerful enough, and when facing them, his bargaining chips were not yet sufficient.
Therefore, he accelerated his flight speed and flew towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.
To be safe, he still decided to take a detour.
Just at this moment, a ripple of space appeared in front of him, and then, a tall figure dressed in a black coat appeared there.
There were no wings behind his back, yet he just stopped in mid-air like that.
A stern and handsome face, paired with a strand of golden hair on his forehead, gave him a majestic and mysterious feeling.
Standing there, it was as if the space around him was locked, unable to flow.
"Not good!!!"
Mu Qingci stopped flying, then turned around, preparing to run.
Such a distinctive appearance, appearing in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, coupled with a cultivation level that made him feel unfathomable.
Then, there was only one possibility for the identity of this middle-aged man: the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Beast God, Di Tian!
However, just as Mu Qingci turned around, he discovered that the wings behind him could no longer flap.
The space around him was locked.
Even trying to open the Undead Semi-Plane to release the Snow Empress was impossible.
Di Tian looked at him without speaking, and with a casual wave of his hand, Mu Qingci flew backward to his side.
Upon reaching Di Tian's side, Mu Qingci felt as if he could hardly breathe.
The aura emitted by Di Tian was too terrifying; it was simply as unfathomable as an abyss.
