Shi Yu thought, "I need to hurry. This is Soto City, far from the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City. It's thousands of kilometers away. If I'm slow, I might have to return before I even get there."
Suddenly, he felt a sense of urgency. If Senior wanted to obtain the opportunity at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well during this period, Senior had to seize the Time.
This might be the only chance. The next Time Senior comes here might be when Senior gets Senior's fifth Soul Ring, which could be a year or two from now.
By then, Tang San would have already taken the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and might have cleared them all out, leaving nothing for Shi Yu.
Shi Yu had no desire to keep reading. Senior already knew the outcome anyway.
Senior left through the exit. Senior's rather peculiar attire attracted quite a bit of attention along the way.
After leaving the Soto Grand Spirit Arena, Shi Yu looked around and found a nearby clothing store to buy clothes from this era.
"Can these golden soul coins be used?" Shi Yu took out the golden soul coins commonly used in the Peerless Tang Sect era.
During the Peerless Tang Sect era, Senior had taken out quite a few golden soul coins from Senior's golden soul coin card and kept them on Senior's person.
Most places did not support direct swiping of the golden soul coin card; using golden soul coins was more convenient.
"Your golden soul coins are a bit strange," the clothing store owner said, frowning as Senior examined a golden soul coin.
"I'll give you ten golden soul coins. Just check if it's pure gold. As long as it's real gold, it doesn't matter if it's a bit strange," Shi Yu said, taking out nine more golden soul coins and handing them over.
Indeed, there was a difference in these golden soul coins, mainly due to the possible difference in the year of production.
In the Douluo world, golden soul coins were basically cast from gold. In this world, the value of gold was not as high as imagined.
Truly precious metals often contained energy and could be used to create powerful Soul Guidance Devices.
"It is indeed real gold," the owner nodded slightly after examining it, then quickly put away the ten golden soul coins, looking afraid that Shi Yu would go back on Senior's word.
"You said it yourself, give me all ten golden soul coins."
"No problem," Shi Yu was too lazy to say more to the owner and just left.
Senior was already wearing the clothes of this era and was carrying several sets of clothing.
It was a good thing these golden soul coins were usable. If they weren't, Senior would have to act like a thief and just run away.
Shi Yu found a shop selling maps and similar items by asking around.
Again, Senior exchanged ten golden soul coins for the Tian Dou Empire map Senior wanted.
Senior found a place to study the map and determined the route to the Sunset Forest.
"I have to travel through the night," Shi Yu felt the Time was particularly pressing. Senior bought some food and headed out of the city.
As soon as Senior was out of the city, Senior started running at a very fast speed, appearing one or two hundred meters away with each step.
As Senior's strength further increased, the maximum distance Senior could Naruto's Instant Transmission also increased.
Senior tried moving the furthest distance, one thousand meters.
This was also the furthest distance Senior could currently Naruto's Instant Transmission.
Moving that far required a bit of effort, but one or two hundred meters per step was much easier and more suitable for Senior to travel quickly.
Shi Yu ran for half an hour straight, exhausted and collapsing on the ground, Senior's Soul Power depleted, Senior's body weak, completely worn out.
"Huff huff huff," Shi Yu lay on the ground, panting heavily, Senior was too tired, feeling like Senior was going to die.
Senior took over half an hour to recover. Senior should have known it would be this tiring and not rushed so much.
This fatigue wasn't caused by running, but by the continuous Naruto's Instant Transmission. Each step was a Naruto's Instant Transmission, nearly two hundred steps per minute, which meant six thousand Naruto's Instant Transmission in thirty minutes.
Senior had never tried Naruto's Instant Transmission so many times before. This was the first Time, and it made Senior so tired that Senior never wanted to try it again.
Senior sat up, ate something ravenously, drank some water, and then sat cross-legged on the spot to recover Senior's Soul Power.
Two hours later, Shi Yu finally returned to a normal state, Senior's Soul Power full.
"I ran over a thousand kilometers this Time," Shi Yu was surprised himself after calculating.
Senior ran along the official road, which was quite smooth and didn't require climbing mountains or crossing valleys. The journey was unimpeded, making it relatively easy to run.
Therefore, Senior ran relatively continuously for over half an hour.
Each step was one or two hundred meters, so running for half an hour in this manner accumulated a very exaggerated distance.
Shi Yu ran a bit further, stopped at a landmark, and confirmed with the map that Senior had indeed run over a thousand kilometers.
"No wonder I'm so tired," Shi Yu was surprised but also somewhat pleased.
This travel speed was faster than Senior expected. Senior had already covered about one-third of the distance. If Senior continued to travel like before, Senior could probably reach the Sunset Forest by two or three in the morning.
"Let's slow down a bit, there's no need to push myself this hard," Shi Yu thought. For the rest of the journey, Senior consciously slowed down the pace.
Senior would stop to rest, eat, and recover Senior's Soul Power after running for about ten minutes.
The Time this delayed was only about an hour, which actually amounted to about the same as running for over thirty minutes straight and then resting for over two hours, but it was much easier.
Around four in the morning, Shi Yu could already see the outline of the forest.
"This travel speed might not be inferior to some Title Douluo," Shi Yu admired himself.
Although Senior didn't have the ability to Naruto's Instant Transmission thousands of kilometers at once, Senior could still cover thousands of kilometers relatively quickly through continuous Naruto's Instant Transmission.
It might only take about seven hours from departure to arrival.
About seven hours, over three thousand kilometers, saying this out loud would probably scare many people.
Shi Yu did not enter the Sunset Forest directly. The Soul Beast forest at night was very dangerous, there was no need to go in at this Time.
Since Senior was resting anyway, finding a random place outside to lie down and sleep was safer than sleeping in the forest.
Shi Yu found a random place to lie down. There was no one around, so it was quiet.
Senior didn't lie directly on the ground, but took out some clothes and spread them out as a mat.
Lying down like this was quite uncomfortable, but Senior didn't pay attention to it.
Senior was very tired at this Time, even sleeping directly on the ground was possible.
Lying down and looking at the full moon in the sky, Senior's mind unconsciously began to ponder how to obtain the immortal herbs.
There were actually two difficulties in getting those immortal herbs as Senior wished.
The first difficulty was how to deal with Dugu Bo.
That was Dugu Bo's territory. If Senior was lucky and Dugu Bo happened to be away when Senior went, it would be easy.
But if Senior was unlucky and Dugu Bo was there, this was a Title Douluo. If Senior couldn't find a way to fool Senior, Senior might not even be able to leave alive.
When Senior first transmigrated, Senior was only in the tens of levels. At that Time, because the Time and Space powers had increased after coming to this world, Senior successfully escaped from the Soul Saint Zhao Wuji.
Now at over thirty levels, Senior might have to face the pursuit of a Title Douluo. Both are two Soul Ring improvements, but the difficulty of escaping might have increased instead of decreased.
Even if the other party was not skilled in the Space element, Senior had little confidence in escaping from a Title Douluo.
The powerful aura pressure of a Title Douluo might even prevent Senior from smoothly circulating Senior's Soul Power.
The premise of Senior's Naruto's Instant Transmission was the normal circulation of Soul Power. If Soul Power could not circulate, then Senior could not Naruto's Instant Transmission.
