Douluo: Xin Shu

Chapter 25 Imprint of Faith
In the darkness, there was a dead silence.

Who would have thought that not long ago, their team was attacked by a spirit beast.The visitor is the Titan Giant Ape, known as the "Forest Overlord".

Even after buffering for a long time, everyone's hearts are still filled with a "sense of unreality"——

After all, that is the "Titan Giant Ape"!
They saw with their own eyes that even though the most powerful teacher in the team, Teacher Zhao Wuji, had used his "Martial Soul True Body", he had not been able to shake the "Titan Giant Ape" at all.

Who would have thought that in this attack launched by "soul beasts" against "human beings" with a huge gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves, everyone would be able to survive.

However, at this moment, everyone was not happy about it, but instead felt extremely sad.

If we say that they are just a team of soul masters put together temporarily...

So, after facing the "forest overlord" Titan ape, it would be the best of luck for anyone to survive.In fact, there was no "battle damage" in the team due to the sudden attack of the "Titan Ape".

No, they are not, they are a team spontaneously organized by the "Soul Master Academy".

As the team’s leading teacher, Zhao Wuji takes it upon himself to ensure the personal safety of the students accompanying him.

Therefore, even if most people survived, there were still two students whose lives were uncertain in this night attack.How could Zhao Wuji accept such a result?

However, Zhao Wuji could not do anything at this moment if he could no longer accept it.

When facing the "Titan Giant Ape", he used his "Martial Spirit True Body".Within seven days, Zao Wuji's various attributes will be only half of their original value (weak period).

Under the "Martial Soul True Body", the power of Zhao Wuji's first six soul skills will be 150% of its original power.In this state, his defense attribute will also be [-]% of its original value.It can be said that that was Zao Wuji's peak state.

As a result, the "Titan Ape" could not be shaken at all.

That was the case then, but now, with the "weakness period" lasting "seven days", what can Zao Wou-ki do?

Therefore, it was not that Zhao Wuji did not want to save his students, but that he did not have the ability to save them.

……

"Why are you so careless? You started absorbing soul rings without anyone around you to protect you. If you hadn't met me out of kindness, you might be dead now."

When they first met, Tang San had just absorbed his first spirit ring.

I just opened my eyes, and before I could feel what kind of soul skill I had newly acquired, I heard a strange female voice in my ears.

At first glance, Tang San felt that the other party seemed to be scolding him.

However, when I recalled this episode later, the girl’s words contained a slightly unfamiliar sense of blame and concern, as well as a sense of “Why are you so careless? Thanks to me, you are fine, why don’t you thank me?” déjà vu.

It may also be that Xiao Wu, who lives in the same dormitory, is also "innately full of soul power".

Therefore, when he learned that the girl called "Ning Xinli" was also "innately full of soul power", Tang San did not feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

The difference was that Ning Xinli looked surprised.

If Tang San could describe it, she felt like she had found a "rare treasure" at that time.

"Tang San, my elders asked me to leave. Since you are awake, let's say goodbye."

Unexpectedly, it was obviously the first time we met, we were not very familiar with each other, and we just got along fairly well...

Tang San actually heard a hint of reluctance in the other party's words.

After returning to the academy, Tang San studied, practiced, and worked as usual, as if the girl named "Ning Xinli" had never appeared in his life.

……

In the first year of "Notting Junior Soul Master Academy", he spent the short vacation (around March) in the "Blacksmith Shop".It wasn't until the end of the semester, when the college approved a long vacation to go home (around July), that Tang San went back to the "Holy Soul Village" alone.

He was full of joy and wanted to show his father the results of this school year's cultivation, but he received a cold letter and a home that seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time.

"Coincidentally, we meet again."

The frustrated Tang San returned to "Notting City" and bumped into Ning Xinli who was looking for him again.

Speaking of which, that was not the second time they met.

Before returning home for the first school year (around July), during the short vacation (around March), Tang San spent time in the "blacksmith shop".At that time, in "Notting City", Tang San met Ning Xinli for the second time.

At that time, Tang San felt very strange.Because, when they were separated for the first time, he did not tell the girl that he was in "Notting City".

At that time, he felt that maybe this was "fate".

After all, the other party should not be from "Notting City".However, Tang San never explained that he was in "Notting City", so she could meet him again in "Notting City".

So, isn't it because we are destined for each other?

"Douluo Continent" may be said to be small, but it is actually quite big; it may be said to be big, but it is actually quite small.

As small as it was, Tang San would usually meet Ning Xinli every time the "Notting Junior Soul Master Academy" had a long vacation.

So much so that before Ning Xinli came to Tang San, he had never heard of such a person in "Notting City" where the "Notting Junior Soul Master Academy" was located.

(Her usual range of activities is in Qibao City and Tiandou City. You’d be damned if you could find out.)
[Private setting: The shorter holiday is around March, and the longer holiday is around July.That’s right, winter and summer vacations.

However, "Douluo Dalu" doesn't seem to have a "New Year"?
It's probably—

In the past six years, Ning Xinli came five times during the July holiday.In the last year, when Tang San graduated, she went to hunt for spirit rings and "broke the promise".

During the March holiday, Ning Xinli would come occasionally.

So the second time we met, it was "a few months' absence", not a year's absence. 】

……

"Tang San, what is this?"

After burning the letters left by his father, Tang San returned to "Notting City" alone just as he had come.

At that time, he met Ning Xinli and was greatly surprised.

Even though during the time they got together, Ning Xinli didn't tell Tang San what her background was.However, Tang San vaguely felt that she might not be a battle soul master.

Therefore, Tang San, who had worked in the "Blacksmith Shop" for a year, equipped Ning Xinli with some concealed weapons that were easy to carry.

Among them was the first hidden weapon he made with great care - the Silent Sleeve Arrow.

……

In June of this year, Tang San graduated from the "Notting Junior Soul Master Academy".

As graduation was approaching, the teacher suggested that Tang San go to "Shrek Academy" in "Soto City" after graduation.

Originally, Ning Xinli should have appeared in front of Tang San in July.

It's been like this for years.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Ning Xinli had always done this.The same goes for Xiao Wu. During the two holidays a year, Tang San couldn't see each other.

It was like a silent understanding between the three of them, but it was broken this year.

After waiting for a few days in "Notting City", Ning Xinli did not appear in front of Tang San like the "miracle" she had done before.He knew that he might lose this friend.There was a reason why Tang San had such an idea.

Because, in the past six years of getting along, Tang San has always been the one who "passively accepted".Every time, it was Ning Xinli who took the initiative to show up, and he never took the initiative to look for her.

So, in fact, he didn't know how to contact Ning Xinli.

Therefore, when Tang San was about to "migrate" on a large scale, if he couldn't tell the other party the news, what way could he do to ensure that there would still be a chance to meet in the future?

At least in Tang San's opinion, there wasn't.

"It is said that there is no discrimination in teaching, as long as we meet the requirements of the college, you have no reason not to accept it."

Therefore, when this familiar voice sounded in front of him, Tang San felt a sense of "lost and found" joy in his heart.

Finally, they will study and live in the same college.

Finally, Ning Xinli was no longer as unpredictable as before, suddenly near and far away.

It was not easy for everyone to study together, but experienced an unprecedented disaster.

10 years, the titan great ape.

When this "forest overlord" stood in front of everyone, Tang San's heart trembled slightly.

As the soul of the team, he should have been everyone's "reassurance".However, in the face of such a powerful existence, what can he do to deal with it?

At the end of the battle, Xiao Wu was captured by the "Titan Giant Ape".

It seems that he was a failed "commander" and failed to protect his partners.

Facing the "Titan Giant Ape", even Soul Saint level teacher Zhao Wuji was helpless, let alone Tang San who only had two soul rings?
So, he was extremely frustrated.

It seemed that God was deliberately teasing Tang San.

When he was feeling a little depressed, a strange vine quietly appeared in front of everyone, tied Ning Xinli into a "twist" and quickly disappeared.

I lost two friends one after another, and it was still "uncertain of life or death."You can imagine how bad Tang San was feeling at this moment.

……

Ning Xinli felt that the platform in front of her might be in an "inactive" state.

Therefore, it will appear "platinum gold" and dull.

Glancing around, Ning Xinli felt that it seemed to be the only special place here.If she wants to leave here, the only thing she can rely on is this strange platform in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, some time passed.

Xu thought of a possibility, and Ning Xinli followed her own thoughts, driving her soul power and injecting it into the platform in front of her.

As expected, the table was like a large "soul power test ball", and because of her move, a faint fluorescence gradually rose.

As time goes by, the "soul power" in Ning Xinli's body is being injected into the "platform" bit by bit, and the "fluorescence" is getting brighter and brighter.

Just when she felt that she was about to run out of soul power, the "fluorescence" finally stopped deepening.

Exhausting soul power is a very dangerous thing for a soul master.If there were no changes, Ning Xinli might have to try another method.

After all - the method is dead, but the person is alive.

Click, click.

Fortunately, "hard work pays off." Ning Xinli worked hard for so long, and she probably used her "soul power" to feed this "strange" platform.

At the same time as this voice sounded, a circular button extended from the middle of the "platform", and an ethereal voice sounded in Ning Xinli's ears: "Faith, faith."

The thing that popped up was said to be a "button", but Ning Xinli felt that it was more like a crystal clear "glazed glass".

Through this "button", she saw bits and pieces of emerald-gold light shining in it.

After doing this, Ning Xinli had no strength at all.

However, the girl's body did not collapse.It was as if something was freezing it there, forcing her to receive the light overflowing from the glass ball.

"Belief".

What is this?

Unfortunately, before Ning Xinli could figure it out, this strange "platform" erupted with a dazzling white light, swallowing her completely in an instant.

When the white light dissipated, the place was empty.

It was as if no one had ever been here before, and everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

However, before being swallowed up by the white light, Ning Xinli's eyebrows vaguely seemed to have an "emerald gold" stamen, which flashed away.

……

"Bullshit!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Zhao Wuji's eyes widened.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhao Wuji was going crazy.

I really don’t know what this kid has been thinking about all day long. He actually wants to chase the “King of the Forest” who kidnapped Xiao Wu alone.

He is just a small great soul master, let alone being able to catch up.Even if we catch up, what can we do?
Do you deliver food?
No wonder Tang San would have such thoughts.He was the "commander" of this team, but he failed to protect his team members and considered himself extremely incompetent.

Tang San felt that even if he died, he should be the first.

As for why he chose to chase the "Titan Giant Ape" instead of looking for the unknown "vine" soul beast that took Ning Xinli away.

Not really, in Tang San's heart, Xiao Wu was more important than Ning Xinli.

They are both friends, and they are also a human life. To him, there is actually not much difference. (Just deceive yourself)
The reason why he would go after the "Titan Giant Ape" was that at least it had a trace to follow, and for the "Vine" spirit beast, Tang San had no clue at all.

After studying with the master for six years, Tang San thought he already knew the "soul beast" very well.

However, he never saw the origin of that "vine".In addition, the speed at which it disappeared was indeed a bit too fast.

Therefore, Tang San could at least determine the whereabouts of that "Titan Giant Ape" through its footprints.Regarding that "vine" spirit beast, Tang San had no clue at all.

Tang San didn't retreat, and neither did Zhao Wuji.

Now that he had already lost two students, how could he want anything to happen to another one?Therefore, Zhao Wuji, who was still in the "weak period", finally decided that everyone should pursue it together.

Even if we die, we all die together.

No one wants to live alone.
