Revisiting the Elemental City

Chapter 25 Return to Elemental City (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

Two and a half days later.

A luxurious yet understated two-horse carriage slowly pulled up outside Element City.

Shen Hanyu stretched, jumped off the carriage, waved to the driver, and looked at the familiar city wall, sighing involuntarily:

"It's finally back."

Tianmeng emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness, concealing herself with her mental energy, and casually perched on Shen Hanyu's shoulder, asking curiously:

"Han Yu, is this your home?"

Shen Hanyu shook his head and said:

"This is Elemental City. My home is in Four Seasons City, which is not far from Elemental City, but it is much smaller than Elemental City."

"But my sister is studying at Tianshui College here. I haven't seen her for two years, and I wonder how she's doing."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded, looking at the bustling city gate, and said with some surprise:

"There are at least five Soul Douluo auras in this city, one of whom has even stepped one foot into the Title Douluo realm, and the others are not weak either."

"Of course, there are five academies in Elemental City, and their deans are all Soul Douluo level experts. Among them, Wind, Fire, Water, Thunder and Lightning are biased towards the Heaven Dou Empire, while Elephant Armor Sect and Elephant Armor Academy have sided with the Spirit Hall."

Shen Hanyu gave a brief introduction, although it seemed unnecessary. Tianmeng had been frantically absorbing knowledge from the human world these days and already had a general understanding of it.

"What about your sister? A martial soul with both water and earth attributes is very rare. Moreover, your sister has a good foundation. If she works hard, she has the hope of breaking through to the Title Douluo level in the future. With your help, she might even reach the Super Douluo level."

Shen Hanyu nodded and said:

"I obtained quite a few immortal herbs from Poison Douluo Dugu Bo before, and now I'm going to hand them over to her. I'll also ask her to bring back two immortal herbs for my parents to improve their aptitude and strengthen their foundation. I won't go back myself to avoid trouble."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded in agreement and said:

"Hanyu, now that you have my full support, strive to break through to Soul Emperor in a few months when you turn fourteen. Then, I'll take you to the far north, and we'll steal a 100,000-year-old ice dragon as your sixth soul ring. Then, we'll take off like a rocket, ho ho ho~"

Shen Hanyu paused, then asked with some curiosity:

"Does the far north still have such a lineage of true dragons? How come I've never heard of it before?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook its head, sighed, and said:

"They're no longer considered true dragons. There were very few pure-blooded true dragons in their clan to begin with. In addition, over the past hundreds of thousands of years, they have been intermarrying with dragons, which has polluted their bloodline and made them more and more impurities. Many of them have even degenerated into dragons. Only a very small number still retain the bloodline of true dragons, but even their proud ultimate ice attribute has degenerated. It is estimated that it will not be more than tens of thousands of years before they completely degenerate into dragons."

"These true dragons are unmatched, not to mention Di Tian, ​​even Zi Ji's clan is inferior. Right now, their clan is hiding in a mountain range in the mixed zone of the far north. When I released my spiritual power, I noticed them. There are still two 100,000-year-old ice dragons barely clinging to life."

Shen Hanyu nodded and said with emotion:

"I never imagined that the once-dominant dragons of the continent would begin to weaken, while humanity is slowly flourishing. I wonder what kind of bloodshed the continent will face when the balance between humans and soul beasts is completely broken in a few years."

"well…"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed with a touch of melancholy, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said to Shen Hanyu:

"Hanyu, look ahead! There are so many beautiful girls in skirts. I have to say, there are so many beauties among you humans. My Bingbing is just as beautiful. You don't know, the first time I saw Bingbing's body, I fell in love with her irrevocably. She's practically my idol..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Let's not talk about that now. I'll make sure you and Hyotei are reunited in the future."

Shen Hanyu rubbed his temples. Tianmeng, once she started talking about Hyotei, it was like a machine gun had been loaded, she just wouldn't stop. You have to call her a simp, she's a real sycophant, she talks non-stop about her goddess, spewing out words of all sorts of things, whether she's seen them before or not, like she doesn't need them…

Tianmeng chuckled twice, then fell silent, probably lost in daydreams about his future happy life with Hyotei…

Otherwise, it still comes down to the art of choosing the right person. If Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had chosen Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, who knows how many trials and tribulations it would have had to endure, and in the end, the god it painstakingly cultivated would have become Tang San's dog...

Well… that’s a bit tragic, but at least he became a god, otherwise he would have really lost everything, not even his underwear.

Shen Hanyu didn't bother thinking about these things and walked straight towards Tianshui Academy.

Although it had been two years since his last visit to Elemental City, Soul Masters have naturally strong memories, let alone someone like Shen Hanyu with exceptional mental strength. At most, he was a little unfamiliar with the roads he had traveled here; everything else was fine.

Back at the same hotel where he had stayed before, on the same rooftop, in the same room, Shen Hanyu lay on the same bed again after nearly a year, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

In fact, Shen Hanyu did not completely cut off contact with Shen Liuyu in the past two years. At least he asked someone to send her the snow lotus. It was safer to hand over the rest to her in person. Therefore, he did not deliberately pay attention to Shen Liuyu's development in the past two years.

Two years have passed since Shen Liuyu left, and she has now turned nine. Shen Hanyu clenched his fist. If this girl still hasn't reached level eighteen or above by now, he promises to give her a good spanking!

…………

He also specially reserved two immortal herbs for Shen Liuyu.

One of them is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a neutral immortal herb with effects similar to the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, but it is more suitable for battle spirit masters. After consuming it, one can cultivate an indestructible body and strengthen the body's bones and meridians, which is just right for this girl's crocodile martial spirit.

The other one is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-attribute immortal herb. After consumption, it can deepen the user's bond with the earth, remove impurities from the bloodline, and improve the bloodline level. This is particularly evident in dragon-type martial souls and dragon-seed martial souls.

Crocodiles happen to be one of the dragon species, and the Eurasian Crocodile has a hint of earth element, making this immortal herb a perfect match for her.

Shen Hanyu doesn't consider himself a particularly good person by nature, but he still has deep feelings for his family and loved ones.

Aside from family members, or friends like Dugu Bo with whom they have a good relationship, everyone else is, to put it nicely, a stranger; to put it bluntly, they are just cannon fodder or stepping stones.

A person who maintains compassion and kindness towards all things may become strong, but the path they take along the way may not be comfortable.

But if you discard that excess kindness and pity, and also give up some morality and martial virtue, your path will definitely be much easier.

This is a fantasy world, and there aren't so many right and wrong answers. It's all about choices. No one is absolutely evil, after all, no victor would allow their evil side to be recorded in history books.

They only know how to sing their own praises, while the losers naturally become the evil side in the eyes of others—that's reality.
