Chapter 175 Departure from Yuming City.
Early morning! As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, the two lying in bed had already finished washing up and were ready to leave.
Ma Xiaotao, now the head of the teaching department, was quite busy with her work in the outer courtyard, and with her cultivation in her spare time, she had practically no free time at all.
Wu Xuan, on the other hand, had just acquired Shrek Academy's trump card, the Gathering Secret Technique. Naturally, he was eager to master it quickly.
His various soul skills, based on his Ultimate Wind Martial Soul, were arguably the most suitable for this secret technique. Therefore, he naturally had to be 100% confident.
"..."
The mountain where the Sea God Pavilion was located was only a little over a hundred meters high, but unlike the outer courtyard, it had a pleasant climate and was full of flowers year-round, perhaps largely due to the golden ancient tree in the inner courtyard.
As dawn broke, Wu Xuan, having left the Sea God Pavilion, lightly leaped onto a rockery near Sea God Lake. His blood-red sixth soul ring instantly lit up, and Wu Xuan stepped onto the outermost protrusion and leaped with all his might.
"Whoosh—"
A buzzing sound, like a gentle breeze, rang out, and the next moment, he had transformed into an invisible gust of wind and vanished without a trace.
This was Wu Xuan's sixth soul skill, Shadowless Wind!
Just yesterday, Dai Yueheng, far away in Yuming City on the Star Luo border, finally replied to him.
In less than three months, they had wiped out nearly twenty gangs of human traffickers and rescued over 50,000 civilians. Such a large number of civilians being persecuted had even alarmed the Star Luo royal family.
The actions of the Sun Moon Empire were completely shaking the foundation of the Xu family's rule over Star Luo.
In response, the Star Luo royal family dispatched a large number of elite troops to purge the border and directly destroy the human trafficking strongholds. However, they did not find the evil soul masters that Wu Xuan had mentioned.
Feeling that something was amiss, Wu Xuan had already applied to Elder Mu and Elder Xuan yesterday for permission to go out for training. He wanted to see for himself whether such a feat was indeed the work of evil soul masters.
Wu Xuan's current self-protection soul skill is a rare divine skill in the world. Therefore, Elder Mu and the others were not worried about Wu Xuan's safety at all and let Wu Xuan set off directly.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Xuan had traversed the clouds and arrived above the Sea God Lake. After nearly half a month of study and instruction, Wu Xuan had mastered the Fusion Technique to a considerable degree.
With the instantaneous release of three 100,000-year-old soul skills along with the Soul Scattering Wind, a 40,000-year-old one-horned demon rhinoceros, renowned for its defense, was instantly obliterated by a single palm strike, leaving not a trace.
However, the combined power of these soul skills was so immense that the failure rate of fusion was quite high.
Even so, Wu Xuan was very satisfied.
Recalling a powerful figure from his previous life who shared the same surname, Wu Xuan was surprised to find that this move was 80-90% similar to that powerful figure's trump card.
Overjoyed, Wu Xuan directly adopted the name of the move from the method that powerful figure from his previous life relied on to make him famous.
Xiao Xiao hadn't yet emerged from seclusion. Judging from Elder Xuan's words, she seemed to have also fallen into deep meditation. The next time he saw that little girl, she might not be far from level 50.
Leaving Shrek City and identifying his direction, Wu Xuan immediately hoisted his flying soul tool and flew towards the Mingdou Mountains on the Star Luo border.
Now, with his Light Spirit Wind soul tool, which had reached its 50,000-year age, unleashed at full power, combined with the level six flying soul tool, his speed surpassed that of a Title Douluo using an Eight Extremes soul tool.
As Wu Xuan flew, he sensed the changes in his soul core. His flight speed continued to increase.
He was like a streak of light in the air. Even more strangely, this streak of light gradually faded in the air, giving the impression of merging with heaven and earth.
If Elder Mu were beside Wu Xuan at this moment, he would surely be astonished to tell him that this was the realm of oneness with heaven and man. Even among Super Douluo, not every one of them could reach this realm.
After entering this realm, not only would the consumption of life force be greatly reduced, but the intimacy with the elemental energy of heaven and earth would also greatly increase. In terms of cultivation and recovery, Soul Masters who reach this realm will surpass Soul Masters of the same cultivation level, and they can also better conceal themselves.
In just one and a half days! Wu Xuan arrived at his destination.
The Mingdou Mountain Range covers a vast area, with branches extending in all directions and covered with abundant vegetation. The mountain range is rich in mineral resources. However, it is also home to many deformed and mutated Soul Beasts. For these resources, Star Luo and Sun Moon have fought repeatedly, almost not giving up an inch of land.
Yuming City is located in the northwest corner of the Star Luo Empire, less than 100 kilometers from the Mingdou Mountain Range. It is also less than 500 kilometers from the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is an important stronghold for the Star Luo Empire to resist the Sun Moon Empire. It is one of the most important supply cities for the forward camp.
Two reserve legions are stationed here.
Reserve troops are generally 50% larger than regular troops and undergo rigorous training just like the regular army. If regular troops suffer losses at the front, reinforcements must be drawn from these reserves.
Yuming City is also one of the important granaries for the Western Army Group; its walls are thick and its defenses extremely tight. It is always managed by the White Tiger Duke's most trusted subordinates.
Wu Xuan briefly circled the city twice to investigate, then left without lingering.
The area around Yuming City is relatively safe, but the human trafficking dens over a hundred kilometers ahead, which had been razed by the Star Luo army, are a different story.
Wu Xuan reached the hundred-kilometer journey before noon. After eating some of the dry rations and dried meat he had brought, Wu Xuan sat cross-legged to recover his soul power.
It's well known that evil soul masters are masters of concealment. Since the Star Luo Empire hasn't sent any Soul Douluo-level experts to investigate, it will be difficult to find any evil soul masters. Therefore, Wu Xuan needs to be as cautious as possible.
After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, feeling the abundant soul power within his body, Wu Xuan set off directly for the so-called human trafficking den.
This was a relatively secluded valley, surrounded by rolling hills. Aside from elite soul master squads, it was extremely difficult for ordinary troops to even reach this place, let alone attack it.
Upon entering the valley, the scene of utter devastation greeted Wu Xuan's eyes. In the blackened soil, not only were broken bones visible, but in some places, even blackened bits of flesh.
"How many people have died here? Where did the corpses go? Even if the flesh and blood can be devoured by evil soul masters, surely the bones should remain!" Wu Xuan frowned and muttered to himself.
Without summoning Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Wu Xuan released his own spiritual power to survey the surroundings and the underground. Now that his spiritual power had reached the level of a Title Douluo, he had already glimpsed the threshold of tangible and substantial existence, making exploring the underground a piece of cake.
"The underground is hollow?" Having only penetrated about five meters into the ground, Wu Xuan detected something amiss.
As his mental energy penetrated deeper, a mass of white bones appeared in Wu Xuan's vision. He then detected a figure with wide joints, resembling a skeleton, which entered his mental perception.
"A rat in the gutter, thinking you're safe hiding here?" Wu Xuan's cold laughter instantly startled the skeletal figure, who had been sitting cross-legged, standing up abruptly.
"Who? How dare you trespass into my concentration camp? Are you courting death?" A hoarse voice echoed from the underground world.
"I'm sending you to see your former leader, the benevolent Zhongli, so come out and thank him." Wu Xuan's infuriatingly sarcastic remarks spilled out.
"Our former leader, Zhongli, has long since passed away. How can you send me to see him?" The skeleton, perhaps due to prolonged slumber, asked with a dazed look in its eyes.
"Haha! It's simple, you'll see him when you're dead." Encountering such a slow-witted person for the first time, Wu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
"You're courting death!" The skeletal figure finally reacted, letting out a sharp screech as it was instantly enveloped in black light, its body slamming into the ground.
