"Don't wait until later. I need to handle something right now."
Zhuge Lan spoke bluntly—
"Grandmaster Jian, from now on, you're officially part of our Xuanji Pavilion."
"Fland needs to reach level 80, so he must start hunting for his eighth soul ring soon."
"Why don't we take a trip to the Extreme North?"
Chen Xin nodded at first. Then Qicai asked curiously—
"Why the Extreme North? Most of the creatures there are ice-type soul beasts. Fland, that little owl, should go to the Star Dou Forest—it would suit him much better."
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
In the Star Dou Forest, there are Silver Dragon Kings, Emperor Heavens, and a whole bunch of ferocious beasts.
Although Zhuge Lan now had a void left hand and the Zhuxian Sword in his right, nearly unbeatable below god-level, the experience pack companions around him were still fragile. Losing one would be a huge setback.
So, it's better to wait until he can handle those creatures before opening that dungeon.
The Extreme North is much simpler.
Even the strongest Snow Emperor there only has 690,000 years of cultivation and no backing.
Even alone, he's confident he could defeat her.
Bringing Chen Xin is mainly for muscle.
—Using the Zhuxian Sword on a high-level soul beast would be too lowbrow.
Let Chen Xin handle the low-level creatures.
Zhuge Lan handles the high-level ones, defeating them beyond his level for emotional points.
Nice!
Just lacking an audience.
Fland is mostly being used along the way.
The Extreme North is vast, and its extreme cold keeps most soul masters away.
Plenty of 100,000-year soul beasts abound.
They can sweep through them one by one.
If they encounter a suitable 100,000-year soul beast, Fland can absorb it and gain emotional points.
Also, they'll need to eat, drink, and take care of necessities.
Chen Xin is already the muscle. Asking him to do more is too harsh.
Fland is just right—strong enough to resist the cold and able to fly away from danger.
And with that, they set off.
Both summoned sword light and flew toward Tiandou City.
Chen Xin suddenly had a thought.
He glanced at Zhuge Lan.
You can borrow divine power to release your own soul skills beyond your level, right?
So riding the sword shouldn't need divine power… right?
He secretly accelerated, trying to leave Zhuge Lan behind.
But no matter how fast he went, Zhuge Lan stayed effortlessly beside him.
In the end, even at full speed, Zhuge Lan remained completely unbothered.
—He could even go faster?
[Emotional points +99,595]
Ridiculous!
Chen Xin, not one to hide things, asked directly—
"Zhuge, how are you flying so fast?"
"Ah?" Zhuge Lan was stunned, asking curiously, "Fast?"
He hadn't even consciously used it—he was daydreaming about using livestreams to cause small trouble.
"Yin—"
The Zhuxian Sword beneath him emitted a ringing sound, as if seeking praise.
Ah! Right!
This thing has a sword spirit.
It can fly on its own without Zhuge Lan using Sword Riding Technique.
And, as a system reward, all its consumption is covered by the system.
Theoretically, then, the Zhuxian Sword's flight speed is the limit in Douluo world.
Ah…
"Zhuxian Sword, try flying at full speed!"
"Whoosh—"
Zhuge Lan vanished from sight. The scenery around him blurred past.
Even with vision enhanced by soul bones, he couldn't clearly see!
In less than a second, the Zhuxian Sword stopped. Below was a dense forest, filled with high-level soul beasts.
They eyed this uninvited guest, Zhuge Lan, with hostility.
This is… the Star Dou Forest?
Whoa!
In the blink of an eye, the Zhuxian Sword crossed half the Douluo Continent—from near Tiandou City to the center, the Star Dou Forest?!
"Amazing!" Zhuge Lan praised without restraint. "No more rushing by teleportation. You alone are enough."
The Zhuxian Sword vibrated proudly, emitting ringing sounds.
"All right, let's go back."
The Zhuxian Sword suddenly stopped vibrating, motionless.
Huh? What does that mean? Wait!
"You're not lost, are you?"
"Yin~"
"Vibrating once—is that approval?"
"Yin~"
Zhuge Lan: "."
Fortunately, Zhuge Lan had already redeemed the Douluo Continent map.
After a quick check, he pointed toward Tiandou City.
"Over there, roughly 5,000 kilometers."
"Whoosh—"
The scenery blurred again.
They had arrived above Tiandou City.
Very efficient.
Zhuge Lan pulled out the entertainment soul device and sent a message about his arrival to the one who had delivered Chen Xin earlier.
Then they headed toward Lanba Academy.
As they approached, they saw a massive crowd at the academy gates, forming a long line.
So many people?
Probably the victims of the Tiandou City Douluo Arena, coming to collect their debts.
Zhuge Lan turned to leave but suddenly heard—
"Rigid dance is the strongest!"
"Nonsense! The Crown Prince's hip-swinging dance is the coolest!"
"Listen, isn't the moonwalk smoother?"
Zhuge Lan froze.
Rigid dance? Mechanical dance!
Moonwalk? Spacewalk!
This isn't about debt collection?
He activated the soul bone skill Zhichi Tianya, removed his coat, and lowered his presence.
He moved closer to the crowd.
The dense crowd had naturally split into several groups, leaving open spaces for sparring in various dance styles.
Even the accompaniment of popular tracks from Tiandou Arena was brought out for "Dance Battles."
Yes! Dance Battles!
These people at the academy gates were all competing with each other for their favorite dance styles.
No one would yield.
Each believed their style was the coolest.
Zhuge Lan had a flash of inspiration!
Perfect! You're all unwilling to admit someone else is better, right?
As the "founder," I have enough authority, right?
I'll host a "Dance King Competition" myself—it'll surely attract attention.
Then a small-scale livestream, letting the whole city watch.
But enthusiasm alone isn't enough.
Offer high-level rewards—millennial soul bones, longevity pills, even cultivation techniques—to motivate participants.
A livestream lottery as well.
Oh! And Fland and the others' dance selections could be featured in the livestream.
Shame factor maxed out—another wave of emotional points!
The more Zhuge Lan thought, the more feasible it seemed.
He couldn't help but let out an eerie laugh.
"Hehehehehe—"
"Whoosh—"
A sword light flew by, hovering beside Zhuge Lan.
It was Chen Xin.
Although Zhuge Lan used Zhichi Tianya, only removing his coat, he was still laughing strangely.
Chen Xin could notice him.
[Emotional points +190,000]
First meeting, first emotional points.
Then he gave a wry smile—
"You've already arrived?"
"This speed…"
"I can't even keep up."
Zhuge Lan was delighted, patting Chen Xin on the shoulder.
"Grandmaster Jian, don't mind.
I wasn't flying that fast—it's the Zhuxian Sword itself.
You lost to a super artifact, not to me."
[Emotional points +23,333]
Chen Xin felt comforted.
His mood improved significantly.
Suddenly!
Chen Xin's eyes turned sharp toward the academy.
"Boom—"
Throat catches a fishbone—damn!
