Chapter 3 Human Heart
Gradually, Shi Yi fell asleep, and when he woke up again, the sun had already set.
Shi Yi looked at the sunset outside the window, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. If possible, he wanted to sleep until the next day. He yawned before he completely woke up from sleep.
Coming back to his senses, Shi Yi cast his eyes on the table beside him, but found that Xiao Yi had disappeared.
"Could it be that the soul power is not enough and it automatically returns to the body?" Shi Yi had this doubt in his mind, and summoned Xiao Yi again.
But he found that Xiao Yi did not appear in his palm. Obviously, Xiao Yi was still in the outside world. Shi Yi slowly got out of bed. His room was not big, and he took a glance but did not find any trace of Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi should not run too far, and his strength should not allow Xiao Yi to run far away."
Just as Shi Yi was about to continue searching, a strange feeling came to his heart, and this strange feeling seemed to be pulling Shi Yi's soul.
"Is this... the call of the little ant?"
Following this vague traction, Shi Yi opened the door and saw the little ant not far away gnawing on the corpse of an ordinary ant.
Shi Yi looked at this scene thoughtfully. Obviously, compared with rice porridge, gnawing on the same kind is the fastest process of evolution. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Survival of the fittest is something he learned a long time ago.
Different lives have different values. Being a link in the food chain of nature is also the meaning and value of its existence.
"I hope that Xiao Yi and I will have better luck." Shi Yi sat quietly on the doorstep, watching Xiao Yi enjoying his delicious food.
As night fell, Shi Yi didn't know what to practice now, so he could only go to bed early. In this world, there is not much entertainment life. Fortunately, there is no industrial pollution in this world. The clean starry sky at night is Shi Yi's only pastime. For soul masters, night is more of a good time to practice.
Looking at the stars outside the window, after an unknown amount of time, Shi Yi yawned, turned over on his bed, suppressed the excitement and expectation in his heart, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning had just penetrated the night, and the village was still shrouded in a layer of light mist. The crowing of cocks broke the tranquility of the night, heralding the beginning of a new day.
Shi Yi got up early. Usually at this time, he would exercise a little in the village. Although he didn't know if this would help his practice, it was not a bad thing to be healthier. Of course, the intensity of this exercise was not high, just running around, practicing Ba Duan Jin, and helping the villagers do some chores within their ability.
He understood the principle that too much is as bad as too little. Even if this was a fantasy world, Shi Yi believed that many essential laws would not change. How could a child who was still in the growth stage accept high-intensity training?
The law of energy conservation still applies in this world. The growth of the body requires energy. Shi Yi, who had learned about fitness in his previous life, also understood how the body's strength becomes stronger. Through long-term and appropriate exercise, the muscle fibers can be thickened, thereby making the muscles larger, while improving the body's ability to control the muscles, thereby increasing strength.
These all require energy. If you continue to work hard during the growth period, your body may have some extraordinary features in a short period of time, but there must be many parts of the body that are not fully developed. The most direct problem is that you can't grow tall.
Even when Yu Xiaogang asked Shrek's people to run, he knew that he had to work hard on eating and prepared a medicinal bath. At that time, Tang San was twelve years old and had three spirit rings.
Shi Yi could recognize this age for physical training. He had read the original novel and understood that the absorption of spirit rings by spirit masters not only brought growth to the martial spirit, but also accelerated the growth of spirit masters from the side. This is why the children in this world seem so precocious.
Clean up your room, tie the package around your body, stand at the door, and quietly look at everything in the room. Perhaps he will not return to this place for a long time.
It's not that he is heartless, but he knows very well what kind of road he is going to take. On the road of soul master cultivation, the struggle will never stop. Shi Yi doesn't want anyone to die because of him.
After watching quietly for a while, Shi Yi put away the little ant and went to the direction of the village entrance.
Soon, Shi Yi saw the uncles and uncles in the village pulling the things they wanted to sell to the village entrance and loading them on the donkey cart.
"Xiao Yi, you are here." Shi Yi saw a middle-aged man greeting him.
"Uncle Wang, good morning." Shi Yi nodded and responded.
"Congratulations, Xiao Yi, the village chief has greeted me. When the uncles finish loading their things, we can set off."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Shi Yi smiled at the middle-aged man.
After a simple greeting, Shi Yi stopped talking and took the initiative to walk to a corner, quietly watching them load the car, trying to reduce his presence.
Shi Yi had been struggling in society for so many years in his previous life. He knew very well that it was not a good thing to take the initiative to greet these uncles and uncles at this time. Greeting them and working with them at this time would only make people misunderstand that you are showing off your awakened soul power, thereby satisfying your sense of superiority.
This is how people's jealousy comes. It's not that Shi Yi has opinions about the villagers in his heart, but people's hearts are often like this. He understands that not everyone will be happy for him.
Their children have not awakened their soul power. Why did an orphan awaken his soul power and change his destiny?
In the six years since he came to this world, there are also people who seek a sense of existence in Shi Yi, an orphan, to satisfy their sense of superiority. Although they are all children, Shi Yi didn't take it seriously, but the shadow of parents can often be seen from the children.
Silence and impolite behavior are very appropriate at this time. Appropriately giving people a handle, letting others whisper in their hearts, or even scolding in their hearts, is conducive to smoothing out the imbalance in their hearts.
When a good person does a lot, sometimes he also needs to be a bad person. Combining hardness and softness, and being relaxed and tense is the way to deal with people.
Soon, the villagers' things were loaded onto the donkey cart. Now it was the spring ploughing season, and everyone needed to exchange their own products for new seeds. There was no need for so many people to go to the market like on weekdays. Shi Yi also got on the donkey cart and followed the middle-aged man out of the village.
When the middle-aged man left with Shi Yi, the villagers immediately started to express dissatisfaction.
"I didn't expect that kid to become a soul master."
"At least the village gave him a bite to eat, but he usually pretended to be a polite child. He didn't even say hello to us when he was leaving today."
"He's a soul master now, and he doesn't look down on us peasants."
"What nonsense... That kid is usually more sensible than your own children, how could he be such a person."
"I think you guys are jealous of that kid because he has awakened his soul power."
"That's right, I saw your kid scolding that kid as a wild kid before."
The person who was refuted was speechless.
Yuehua City is not far from Hetan Village. In less than half an hour, the two arrived at Yuehua City. After following the middle-aged man into the city, Shi Yi parted ways with him.
Shi Yi did not go to Yuehua Junior Soul Master Academy, but asked about the location of the car dealership in Yuehua City.
The main way to appear in this world is to rely on a horse-drawn carriage. When Shi Yi arrived at the car dealership, he instantly spent all the five silver coins hidden in the package by Li Yi and rented a carriage to Notting City.
Shi Yi didn't know whether this price was cheap or not. There was no place to spend money in the village. The purchasing power of money in this world was not described much in the original book. Shi Yi didn't intend to entangle these trivial matters. Soon, the coachman also set off with Shi Yi.
On the way, Shi Yi sat in the carriage and summoned Xiao Yi. Now he has embarked on the road of soul master, and he has a lot to do.
Thinking about the development direction of martial soul is the most important issue, and this is also a long-term issue.
Efforts are important, but if the direction is wrong, efforts will be in vain. Isn't Yu Xiaogang the best example?
If Shi Yi has a golden finger, then his golden finger is his familiarity with the plot and scientific common sense from modern society.
In his previous life, Shi Yi was a manager in charge of the data department of a listed company. He collected data, analyzed data, and evaluated reasonable plans for the company. Shi Yi believed that the ability and knowledge from the modern era would definitely show incredible charm in this world.
Now Shi Yi needs to make a development plan that goes hand in hand with his martial spirit.
Shi Yi looked at Xiao Yi quietly, constantly analyzing Xiao Yi's potential as a martial spirit in his mind, and took out a piece of paper to draw a hexagram.
Living beast martial spirit: Xiao Yi. (Score 1-5)
Bloodline: 0 points.
In the world of beast martial spirits, bloodline power is a factor that has a great influence in battle. The reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is called the world's number one beast martial spirit is because of its powerful dragon bloodline, which can almost suppress most beast martial spirits, and Xiao Yi is almost at the bottom of the food chain.
Strength: 3 points.
Strength is one of the few things that ants can be praised for, but for living beast martial spirits, the size and bloodline of the ants are important factors that affect their strength attributes.
Defense: 0 points.
For a small ant whose bloodline has not been improved at present, the defense is almost 0, and even an ordinary person can step on it to death. Try not to summon it in crowded places.
Speed: 0 points.
...
Energy: 0 points.
No special attributes.
Special: 3 points.
Poison, highly sensitive antennae can develop in the direction of perception. With the improvement of bloodline and the improvement of soul master cultivation, it may be able to communicate with its own kind and become the king in the ant world.
Shi Yi looked at the hexagram he drew. Shi Yi thought that such a panel was not bad for a congenital first-level soul master, at least it was not useless. Obviously, the most important thing for beast martial spirits is bloodline.
Beast martial spirits with strong bloodlines can not only suppress opponents, but also the ability of beast souls will be greatly affected by bloodlines. Not only beast soul masters, but also soul beasts with special abilities have strong bloodlines.
As long as you have a strong bloodline, strength, speed, defense, and other simple three-dimensional attributes will be greatly improved. Therefore, Shi Yi believes that the least important of these six items are the attributes of these three dimensions, because these three dimensions will grow with the growth of the martial soul. This is also the advantage of Xiaoyi as a living martial soul. Shi Yi is also confident that his martial soul will grow.
Shi Yi actually values the huge group of ants more. If possible, Shi Yi wants Xiaoyi to become the king of the ant world. Like Tang San's mother, Blue Silver Emperor, ants are also ubiquitous in the entire Douluo Continent.
Shi Yi drew a picture on the paper again, but this time it was not a hexagram, but a quadrilateral, body, soul power, mental power, and Xiaoyi.
These are the four most important factors that can affect him. Shi Yi knows very well that no matter what ability, it cannot escape these four factors. In other words, as long as these four factors are sufficient, there is no ability that cannot be obtained.
His shortcomings are also obvious. His body is obviously at the level of a normal child, but his mental strength is higher than that of an ordinary child. Or it is the advantage of living two lives. Shi Yi can clearly feel that the memory of his previous life in his mind is extremely clear, but his soul power and martial spirit are too weak.
"It seems that I still need to get the timeline confirmed by Notting City before I can plan the future. Now I don't even have the most basic meditation method, and many things can only be imagined."
Thinking of this, Shi Yi put away the paper he wrote and drew, and began to gently tease the little ant with his fingers. Looking at the scenery outside the car window, he couldn't help but raise expectations in his heart.
Two days later, Shi Yi lifted the curtain and looked up at the plaque of Notting City on the tower in the distance. Shi Yi couldn't help but feel excited.
"I hope I didn't come here in vain."
If the protagonist's story line has not yet begun, then he can participate in many things, and his soul master's path can also be smoother.
As the carriage entered the city, Shi Yi got off the carriage slowly with dark circles under his eyes. Shi Yi was young and needed sleep. The time on the road was too boring. He had no choice but to sleep. However, the road conditions in Douluo Continent were not very good. Even if he sat in the carriage, there would be some bumps. Shi Yi kept wandering between sleeping and waking up.
"With this traffic, it's no wonder that a carriage ride is so expensive. I feel sorry for the driver if I don't give him five silver coins."
In the past two days, except for resting at night, the driver drove the carriage diligently during the day. Not to mention that the road conditions in Douluo Continent are not at the same level as in the previous life, even if Shi Yi went on a business trip to a nearby city in the previous life, Shi Yi would not choose to drive himself, but take public transportation.
Shi Yi asked around on the street and soon arrived at the Junior Soul Master Academy in Notting City. As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by the young man who was guarding the door. Seeing the young man's aggressive appearance, Shi Yi felt helpless. It is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghost.
Seeing this, Shi Yi could only bite the bullet and walk up.
