Chapter 397 Signing in Again
A training ground in a forest of soul beasts.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were sitting together, resting and recuperating.
The three of them had just joined forces to kill a ten-thousand-year-old Gale Wolf, and their soul power had been greatly depleted.
I was planning to use this place to recover my strength.
We also discussed the next training route.
However, when they saw the full contents of the list of hypocrites at the top.
The person at the top of the list was none other than their brother, Tang San, with whom they had spent every day and fought side by side.
From being inconsistent in words and deeds and having serious double standards, to exploiting emotions and being cold-blooded, and then abandoning Yu Xiaogang after becoming a god...
The charges were listed clearly, and the punishments that followed were also clearly visible to the three of them.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun stared blankly at the sky.
The expression on his face gradually changed from doubt and curiosity to shock and disbelief.
In the end, it became incredibly complicated, with all sorts of emotions intertwined.
"Third...Third Brother? Number one on the list of hypocrites?"
Oscar's voice trembled as he pointed at the sky, his face filled with disbelief.
In his heart, Tang San has always been the core of the Shrek Seven Devils.
He is a steady, reliable, and loyal brother.
He is the leader who led them to victory against powerful enemies time and time again. How could he be such a hypocritical and despicable person as Tianmu described?
The indifference on Ma Hongjun's face completely disappeared.
His chubby face flushed red, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"Impossible! This is absolutely fake! Third Brother is an upright man, deeply in love with Sister Xiaowu, and completely devoted to us. How could he be a hypocrite?"
"This sky curtain is definitely talking nonsense!"
He was straightforward and always respected Tang San.
Hearing Tianmu slander his brother like this, he was filled with anger and confusion.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, his tiger-like eyes fixed on the words on the sky, his heart churning with turmoil.
He spent the most time with Tang San, from their first encounter at Shrek Academy to fighting side by side in the competition.
Later, through their individual trials, he understood Tang San's character all too well.
Tang San is loyal and righteous; he would risk his life for Xiao Wu and stand up for his friends.
How could someone like that be at the top of the list of hypocrites?
However, the writing on the sky was crystal clear, and each charge was described in detail.
Even the details of the future are listed one by one, so it doesn't seem like it was made up out of thin air.
The three remained silent for a long time, their shock gradually subsiding.
Instead, it was replaced by complex and indescribable emotions.
They were not foolish people; after calming down and thinking carefully, they gradually came to a conclusion.
What the sky displays is ultimately the trajectory of the future, not the facts that have already happened.
However, the future is still uncertain.
To dismiss a brother who has been with you day and night based solely on Tianmu's one-sided account is far too arbitrary.
Moreover, after carefully examining the list of crimes committed by the heavens, they discovered that most of them were acts committed in the future.
It did not mention that Tang San had done anything to wrong them.
In the future, Tang San may do things against his will due to various unforeseen circumstances.
But Tang San is still the brother they can rely on.
"Whether what Tianmu said is true or false, that's all in the future."
Dai Mubai spoke slowly, breaking the silence, his tone firm.
"We have been through life and death with Third Brother, and we have come together from Shrek Academy to where we are now. We know his character."
"He hasn't done anything to wrong us, and his future trajectory may still be altered."
Oscar nodded, the doubt in his eyes gradually fading, and said in a deep voice.
"Mu Bai is right. The sky only shows a possibility, not a given fact. Third Brother is still our brother."
"As long as he remains a member of the Shrek Seven Devils, we will always be partners fighting side by side."
"As for the future, we can ask Third Brother when we meet him."
Although Ma Hongjun was still somewhat indignant, he calmed down, scratched his head, and said, "I also believe in Third Brother; he definitely won't become that kind of person."
"Let Tianmu say whatever he wants, we won't believe it. The important thing is to focus on training, improving our strength, and reuniting with Third Brother as soon as possible."
Once they understood this, the complex emotions in their hearts gradually dissipated, and they gradually forgot about the news from Tianmu.
They know that instead of worrying about the unknown future, it's better to seize the present and improve their own strength.
Only then can they protect the people they want to protect and safeguard their brotherhood in the face of future changes.
...
Meanwhile, Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao had just suppressed his worries about the invasion of the spirit world and sat down cross-legged again.
I plan to devote myself entirely to seclusion and strive for a higher level of mastery.
Strive to break through the current God King realm before the arrival of powerful beings from the Spirit Realm, master greater power, and protect the Douluo Continent.
Lu Xiao slowly closed his eyes, his divine sense receding, preparing to circulate his cultivation technique to temper his divine power.
Just then, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Check-in system notification: Today's check-in opportunities have been refreshed. Do you wish to check in now?]
The voice remained silent for a long time.
Lu Xiao had almost gotten used to the system's automatic check-in and would not usually remind anyone.
The sudden sound made Lu Xiao open his eyes abruptly, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
A strong sense of anticipation immediately appeared on their faces.
He was very familiar with this sign-in system, ever since he acquired it.
By checking in daily, he gained countless opportunities, treasures, and cultivation techniques, which led to his current strength as a God-King.
After countless check-in experiences, Lu Xiao had already figured out a pattern.
The system usually signs in automatically, and the rewards are mostly common soul power, pills, soul rings, etc., which are beneficial but not particularly rare.
But once the system actively reminds him to sign in manually.
Therefore, the reward obtained this time must be a rare treasure, either an incomparably powerful artifact or a heaven-defying cultivation technique.
It has an immeasurable effect on his ability to improve his strength and even cope with the current crisis.
On several previous occasions when the system proactively reminded him to sign in, he received a powerful treasure that could change his destiny.
With the imminent invasion of the Spirit Realm, the Douluo Continent faces annihilation.
The system's timely intervention was undoubtedly a godsend.
"It's finally here."
Lu Xiao thought to himself, his eyes filled with anticipation. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately recited the mantra in his mind.
"System, sign in now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet secluded chamber burst into a dazzling nine-colored light.
This light was not a blinding, intense light, but rather a gentle and warm one, yet it contained boundless primal power.
As the nine-colored light flowed, it seemed to contain the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the surrounding space was rendered colorful by this light.
"This is..."
Lu Xiao stared intently at the center of the light, his eyes filled with shock.
He could clearly sense that this nine-colored light contained a primordial aura far exceeding his own divine power.
This aura is connected to heaven and earth, coexists with the planes of existence, is vast and boundless, and unfathomable.
It is by no means an ordinary treasure.
The light gradually faded the next second!
An object about the size of a fist and shaped like a heart slowly floated in front of Lu Xiao and quietly rotated.
This heart is nine colors in total, and its surface shimmers with a dazzling light.
Each beat was accompanied by a low "thump" sound, not loud, but it seemed to resonate directly in the depths of the soul, resonating with heaven and earth, and in sync with the plane of existence.
