Chapter 41

Chapter 41

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, flowers and plants flourish and wither, and life goes on peacefully day after day, which is quite pleasant.

Shen Hanyu even had the illusion that he wanted to continue like this forever, but the facts told him that these were only temporary. People can rest appropriately, but they cannot be decadent forever. The meaning of life is to keep exploring and moving. It is unrealistic for someone of his semi-aristocratic background to win by lying still.

After absorbing the sixth soul ring and the right leg bone, his soul power had reached level 65. Now, after two and a half months of training, his soul power has finally reached level 66.

Soul Masters with extreme attributes will have extremely slow cultivation speed between levels 30 and 70, which is a drawback. However, the advantage is that their combat power is generally far superior to that of Soul Masters of the same level, and once they break through to Soul Saint, their cultivation speed will far exceed that of ordinary Soul Masters. This is why Soul Masters with extreme attributes always achieve more than ordinary Soul Masters.

Although his cultivation speed was a bit slow, Shen Hanyu didn't care that much.

After Tianmeng sacrificed herself to become his seventh spirit ring, she could only provide him with a seventh spirit ring that was 990,000 or even 1 million years old, and she could also provide him with a blank ice attribute martial spirit.

Shen Hanyu's original intention was that his second martial soul should ideally be a soul beast that possesses both ice and fire attributes.

Although it sounds difficult, there are actually quite a few soul beasts that possess these two seemingly conflicting attributes.

For example, spirit beasts like the Ice-Fire Demon Tiger and the Li-patterned Ice-Fire Flood Dragon are rare, but not impossible to find.

The fire-attribute energy within him was relatively stable, and it even showed signs of merging with his ultimate ice, which was undoubtedly a good thing. Once he fully mastered this energy, his achievements would surely shock the entire Douluo Continent.

Shen Hanyu then thought of the two dragon corpses under the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. He coveted those two divine-level soul bones. No matter what, he had to get his hands on them. That way, even if no divine trial came knocking, he would definitely be able to break through the barrier of Limit Douluo and step into the divine level with the divine power in those two soul bones.

After breaking through to the Soul Saint realm and acquiring his second Martial Soul, Shen Hanyu decided to directly acquire Soul Rings for his second Martial Soul. This would cause his cultivation to surge again. However, before that, he needed to ensure that his body could withstand the terrifying energy brought by so many Soul Rings.

………………

Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er have been visiting quite frequently lately, almost every two or three days. Shen Hanyu doesn't find it annoying at all, and he seems quite happy each time.

Whether they are genuinely happy or not is not important; what matters is maintaining appearances.

Just like Dugu Bo said, he is a person who says one thing to people and another behind their backs. Of course, it's best not to let more people know about this, since there's no benefit in it anyway.

When the three of them arrived, Shen Liuyu didn't react. Shen Hanyu was her older brother, and this place was considered her home, so she naturally didn't feel any restraint. Sometimes, she would even ask Shen Hanyu for help in front of Shui Bing'er and her sister, acting like a little adult.

Shuiyue'er is a little devil. If you ask who wants to come to Shen Hanyu's place the most, it would definitely be her. Sometimes she would stare blankly at Shen Hanyu's face, and you couldn't wake her up even if you called her.

She looked exactly like a lovesick little girl.

Shui Bing'er was a little reserved at first, but she gradually opened up after getting to know him better. She was able to talk to Shen Hanyu about interesting things that happened at the academy and even revealed a lot of embarrassing stories about Shen Liuyu.

These things weren't really big of a deal; it was just that Shen Liuyu slept in class, secretly dragged them out of the wall to go to the night market at night, and even beat up two hooligans from the neighboring Xiangjia Academy in the street.

Shen Hanyu listened patiently, sipping his tea gently. Apart from a barely perceptible sneer when he heard the word "hooligan," he listened attentively throughout, and one could even see a shadow of his college days in his past life in his eyes.

Because he was an orphan in college, he was left with no one to rely on, so he was targeted by a few gangsters in his class. He was a vengeful person, and a few days later, he secretly ambushed and beat up those thugs in an alley without surveillance cameras, using the bricks symbolizing righteousness, morality, kindness, and justice. Two of them were even knocked unconscious by him, and another collapsed to the ground after taking a brick to the forehead.

However, those guys had a lot of petty theft and bullying of classmates in the neighborhood, and none of them dared to call the police for their harassing behavior towards the female students on the street; they just gritted their teeth and endured it.

After that, Shen Hanyu's life returned to peace.

As for his unexpected job as a mercenary after going abroad, that was purely accidental. In one accident, the leader saw that he was smart and had a ruthless streak, so he simply recruited him. He did not disappoint the other party. He was extremely decisive in his first killing, and he did not even show any emotional fluctuation afterward.

Of course, those are all things of the past, and I won't go into them now.

………………

By the time Shui Bing'er finished speaking, it was already quite late. The sun, as usual, began to wane, struggling on its last legs, casting a crimson glow across the sky.

Shui Bing'er got up and went to the kitchen to cook. She had already developed the habit of cooking. Shen Hanyu's cooking was so-so, and Shen Liuyu and Shui Yue'er never lifted a finger to cook. So this important task could only be taken on by her, but she didn't mind.

Some girls may not like cooking, but quite a few girls are very interested in it, like Shui Bing'er.

Dinner tonight was simple: braised century-old earthworm meat, steamed ten-year-old snow fish, and cold salad of Tang San's mother... cough cough, it was cold salad of Blue Silver Grass and Green Ear Fungus. Three simple side dishes, simple yet plentiful. This meal had both meat and vegetables, and was nutritionally balanced. It could be said to be the essential diet for a genius Soul Master.

A Soul Master's body needs sufficient nutrition to grow normally. As for eating only plain steamed buns and porridge every day, well... he can survive.

Everyone present was a Soul Master, and they all had big appetites, so the food on the table was quickly finished.

After the meal.

Shuiyue rubbed her already round little belly and said in a cute and innocent way:

"Sister, your cooking is so much better than Brother Yu's. At least there weren't any bugs in your cold Blue Silver Grass salad..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuyu's expression changed, and she immediately pinched Shen Hanyu hard.

Shen Hanyu looked completely innocent; after all, who knew there was a little creature hiding in the washed Blue Silver Grass?

The little guy, who was on the verge of death, was discovered by Shen Liuyu. Well... although he wasn't poisonous, the psychological torment he suffered wouldn't dissipate in a day or two. It might even become a lifelong pain...
