Chapter 146 Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Golden-Eyed Black Dragon
"Shrek Academy, I've arrived!"
On September 1st, Miki arrived at Shrek Academy via a teleportation array. On the same day, she was admitted to the academy with the highest score in the entrance exam.
Moving dorms, meeting new classmates, finding classrooms, finding the cafeteria...
It was already late at night when I finished working on the whole thing.
The girl quietly closed the dormitory door and strolled all the way to the mushroom tree in the medicinal herb garden behind the college.
Aside from a few dangerous laboratories and equipment storage rooms, Shrek Academy has virtually no forbidden areas. The Mushroom Tree area is no exception.
Because of the mushroom tree's plant-like properties, this place is also part of the academy's simulated training environment. Plant-type Soul Masters can all train here.
"Hey! Kid, why aren't you sleeping at this hour? What are you doing here playing?"
The dean walked over from who-knows-where.
Miki was not surprised by the Dean's appearance. Powerful people always have strange ways of making their appearance, such as Chi Ping's teleportation, Chi Shu's mycelial incarnation, and Ying Hongchen's use of soul tools to appear in various places.
Although she is barely considered weak, she is far from being strong.
"Grandmaster, you already tested me before, why do I still need to take those assessments?" the little girl asked curiously.
"Because of the academy's rules," the dean said kindly.
"Rules are important; they are the foundation for maintaining fairness, justice, and order. If I admit you through special admission, how will people who don't know the truth view you, and how will they view the college?"
They would believe that the college has unspoken rules and loopholes that can be exploited. Once these unspoken rules are established, they are difficult to eradicate.
Mickey seemed to understand, but not quite.
"It's okay if you don't understand now; you'll understand later. Do you have any other questions?"
Miki nodded. "Grandmaster, I find it difficult to control the electric current. Do you have any tips?"
"Let me demonstrate it for you."
Miki took a few steps back, her life magnetic field accumulating energy, and a deep blue human body current was generated in the magnetic field.
The violent energy spread out uncontrollably, leaving large areas of charred black as it fell to the ground.
The dean slightly beckoned, and the violent electric energy immediately calmed down.
"It's mainly a matter of mental strength. I'll teach you a meditation technique. Also, before you master this power, don't fight with anyone."
"I've got it."
Half an hour later, after the technique explanation was finished, the dean ruffled Miki's hair and said, "Go back to your dorm and get some rest. You'll be late for class tomorrow."
Goodbye, Grandmaster.
……
The eastern edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
"How interesting. I've never seen a soul beast like you before, so powerful yet so weak. You clearly possess over 900,000 years of cultivation, yet you only have mental power as your means of attack. I'm afraid even some 10,000-year-old soul beasts could easily defeat you."
Chi Ping pinched his chin and carefully examined the nearly three-meter-long silkworm in front of him.
The silkworm is entirely white and translucent. A halo flows beneath its skin, and it has a pair of small, glittering golden eyes on its head. Starting half a meter from its head, there are nine golden rings encircling it at intervals, from head to tail.
"Your race must be the Snow Silkworms of the far north, right? Even the Snow Emperor's cultivation level can't reach yours. How did you manage to do it?"
Chi Ping activated his probe, analyzing every trace of aura emitted by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"I was blind and didn't recognize a true god. Can you please just ignore me?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cautiously used mental power to transmit her voice.
It now deeply regrets its actions, thinking it was just trying to drag someone down with it, only to find itself facing a true master.
Just as they escaped the dragon's mouth, they fell into the devil's clutches.
Tragic! Tragic! Tragic!
Chi Ping smiled. "I can let you go, but I'm afraid this man will arrest you again."
"Let me go!"
The frozen dark dragon growled.
A four-legged dragon with black scales and wings, its horns resembling a crown.
She tried to unleash her innate domain to devour the vortex, but her soul power seemed to have lost connection.
Tianmeng glanced at it secretly and shivered.
The feeling of being gripped by the dragon's claws is unpleasant.
Previously, Tianmeng was captured by the Demon Dragon King and was to be taken back to his lair when she encountered Chi Ping, who was heading to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest. Tianmeng asked for help, and Chi Ping, out of curiosity, froze the Demon Dragon King and rescued him.
"Then you might as well just hold me captive," Tianmeng said, still shaken.
At least Chi Ping didn't show any malice; he didn't seem like he wanted to devour him whole.
"How did you withstand such immense power? I feel your physical strength doesn't even meet the standard of 100,000 years."
Qi Luo transformed into a human form about the size of a palm and jumped onto Chi Ping's shoulder, curiously examining Tian Meng.
If we compare cultivation to water, and the body to the container holding that water, then the container of a normal 100,000-year-old soul beast is made of iron. Tianmeng, on the other hand, is made of a balloon. It gives you the feeling that it might explode at any moment.
"What do you mean?" Tianmeng asked blankly.
"What I mean is, how did you not burst from being stretched, and how did you survive the heavenly tribulation?" Qi Luo said bluntly.
"What is a heavenly tribulation?"
Qi Luo was a little confused. "The Heavenly Tribulation is the punishment from heaven and earth that you have to face when you break through the 100,000-year barrier after 100,000 years of cultivation. It is usually a tempering by lightning."
"Uh...would you believe me if I said I didn't experience it?"
"How is this possible!" Qi Luo exclaimed, her eyes narrowing in utter shock. "You're not lying to me, are you?"
Tianmeng shook her head frantically, "Everything I said is true! If you don't believe me, look at the big boss!" Chi Ping nodded, "Compared to the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, it does indeed lack some of the refined quality."
"How could this be..." Qi Luo couldn't believe it.
"The world is full of wonders, Qiluo, you should learn to adapt. The gentle and non-aggressive nature of soul power, combined with powerful and pure spiritual power, results in unparalleled stability, which is why this snow silkworm didn't burst."
The reason it escaped the heavenly tribulation is thanks to its pure spiritual energy. Its situation is probably far more absurd than yours, Qi Luo. You have the protection of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, while it encountered the extreme northern ice veins.
"Ice Veins? What are those? I only ate some Cold Marrow."
Tianmeng was puzzled, and her tail unconsciously swayed from side to side.
"Some? I'm afraid it's all the accumulation. No wonder you were able to build up your cultivation to this level." Chi Ping sighed. "Lucky little thing. The Ice Vein is like the blood circulation of the far north; it's something quite secretive. I only learned of its existence by chance. Yet you were able to fall directly into the core of the Ice Vein. Truly..."
Your aura is almost identical to that of the Ice Pulse, and it is precisely because of this that you were fortunate enough to escape the heavenly tribulation.
"Huh?" Tianmeng curled up. "Did I... get into trouble?"
The core, you can tell it's something very important just by hearing the name.
Chi Ping nodded.
Tianmeng instantly wilted, and said absentmindedly, "Am I going to die?"
"It's not that serious..."
Tianmeng's eyes lit up instantly as she looked at Chi Ping with eager anticipation.
—A child's mindset.
Ikehira's internal assessment.
"The circulation of icy veins is like the flow of funds. Your act of consuming icy marrow is equivalent to misappropriating someone else's savings. If the enterprise doesn't encounter difficulties, the circulation will operate normally, and the nature of heaven and earth won't hold it against you. That is the circulation of the world, the mother of all living beings, how could it be stingy with some accumulated energy?"
Tianmeng, who had been watching the conversation with her eyes darting around, immediately perked up when she heard the last part.
"Are I alright?"
Ikehira nodded. "You could say that."
Tianmeng chuckled foolishly.
Qi Luo understood what Chi Ping meant and rolled her eyes at Tian Meng, "You really are a lucky guy. After Xue Di becomes a god, she will maintain the extreme northern cycle, so you don't have to worry about being purged."
"Has the Snow Emperor become a god?" Tianmeng asked in surprise.
Chi Ping nodded.
That Ice and Snow Maiden became a god? The oppressive aura I felt earlier was hers? How is that possible!
The Hell Dragon King was shocked.
Qi Luo put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "With your help, Master, the Snow Emperor has already become a god who controls the winds and snows of the far north!"
Tianmeng's eyes lit up, "Amazing!"
"That's right! Let me tell you..."
Chi Ping interrupted Kira's boasting, "Let's save the bragging for later, the guests are here."
call--
With a flap of its wings, the golden-eyed black dragon rapidly approached, covering tens of kilometers, its extreme dark power spreading out like a curtain covering the sky.
Black Dragon Sword!
The spreading darkness converged on the dragon's right arm, condensing into a blade shape.
The blade was smooth and flat, without any visible patterns, only a deep, all-consuming darkness.
"Not bad."
Ikehira commented.
The rune body unleashed 1% of its power, transforming into a protective shield to protect Tianmeng and Qiluo.
He himself remained outside the protective barrier, personally experiencing the power of the golden-eyed black dragon.
The Black Dragon Sword's target was not Chi Ping, but rather to immobilize the Hell Demon Dragon King's force field.
The condensed darkness, with its powerful gravitational pull, disrupted the life magnetic field, allowing the Hell Dragon King to escape.
"Is Murasaki alright?"
Zi Ji shook her head, saying urgently, "Di Tian, we can't let them get away with this!"
Di Tian looked at Chi Ping with utmost seriousness, "Human, leave this place!"
"I feel like this isn't the first time I've heard something like this," Chi Ping said, troubled. "Would you believe me if I said I didn't come here to fight?"
"Humans?" *2
Both Zi Ji and Tian Meng were surprised.
Chi Ping sighed helplessly, "So surprised?"
"Is this thing human?"
"Boss, aren't you an elemental being like the Snow Empress?"
Zi Ji and Tian Meng spoke almost simultaneously.
"I'm a real human being, look, I even have spirit rings."
Chi Ping revealed nine red spirit rings.
The two ferocious beasts gasped in shock.
Di Tian's expression grew even more serious.
"What the hell..."
