Chapter 18 Torture
After leaving Flanders' shop, Shi Yi found a secluded place outside Soto City, then took out the crystal, used a forging hammer to knock the crystal open, and then collected the scattered golden light spots. The
golden light spots scattered in the sunset, reflecting the dazzling light. Shi Yi slowly squatted down. Each golden particle was very uniform in size, about the same as a grain of rice, round and shining with a faint golden light. Shi Yi picked up a particle and squeezed it in his hand, and found that the golden particle was slightly soft, but very elastic.
"It's soft enough, and it will become extremely hard after injecting soul power. It has a bit of the meaning of non-Newtonian fluid. Only the Tang Sect would turn such a good thing into a hidden weapon." Shi Yi shook his head slightly.
The strength of the hair crystal increases greatly after injecting soul power. In the original work, even Zhao Wuji's soul power body protection can be broken. Although there is the blessing of the power of the Tang Sect's technique, it can also be seen that the strength of the hair crystal is high.
"If such materials are made into a triggered defensive soul guide, ordinary soul masters will find it difficult to break the defense. If it is added with the function of absorbing soul power, the higher the energy level of soul power, the harder the hair crystal will be. It can also absorb the soul power of the opponent and make its attack invisible. I just don't know if these materials can cover the whole body. It must be quite difficult to carve the core array with such tough metal. I am afraid that ordinary flames cannot make it fuse together." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, Shi Yi also began to collect the scattered hair crystals on the ground. This is a very promising special metal.
After Shi Yi collected them, he was surprised to see the bag of hair crystals. A piece of crystal that was not very large actually contained tens of thousands of hair crystals, which showed its strong ductility.
"Tens of thousands of hair crystals may not be finished even if Tang San shoots them all in his lifetime." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.
The dragon beard needle ranks not low among Tang San's hidden weapons. This precious hidden weapon must be used by Tang San only at critical moments.
It's OK that ordinary hidden weapons can't be retrieved after being shot out, but if the dragon beard needle is shot out, there is a high probability that it can't be retrieved, unless you have killed the opponent.
At this time, Shi Yi also realized why Tang San added the sharp attribute to his martial spirit. The advanced techniques of the Tang Sect often involve hundreds or thousands of hidden weapons, which can be said to be throwing money at people.
The next morning, Shi Yi left the hotel after breakfast, left Soto City from the south gate, and headed towards the destination of this trip.
After leaving Soto City, follow the road to the south. On both sides of the official road, there are large tracts of farmland. Soto City is not known as the grain capital of the Barak Kingdom for nothing.
Shi Yi walked along the official road leisurely, but found that two overlapping figures appeared in front of him.
"Hey, Xiao Wu, let Xiao San carry you so early in the morning."
Xiao Wu and Tang San heard this familiar voice, and they were startled. They turned their heads and saw Shi Yi looking at them with a smile behind them.
Xiao Wu blushed and quickly got off Tang San. She snorted at Shi Yi and said, "What's it got to do with you?"
Tang San was also a little embarrassed and came to Shi Yi to say hello, "Brother, good morning."
"Xiao San, you must take care of yourself." Shi Yi chuckled.
Tang San coughed slightly and said, "Brother, you are joking."
Shi Yi looked at Tang San and smiled and said, "Let's go. Today is your entrance test."
Hearing this, Tang San was a little surprised and said, "Brother, aren't you going to school with us?"
Shi Yi smiled and shook his head and said, "According to Shrek's requirements, I am over the age limit. You don't have to worry about this. I will find a way to enter the school when the time comes."
"I'm afraid someone is going to enter the school through the back door." Xiao Wu said in a weird tone.
Shi Yi didn't care about the sarcasm in Xiao Wu's words. Instead, he nodded in approval and said, "Yes, you guessed it right. I usually hate to take the back door, but I am still very happy to let me take this back door."
"Shameless!" Xiao Wu looked at Shi Yi's indifferent look, and she became even angrier.
Shi Yi laughed at Xiao Wu's angry look.
"You!" Before Xiao Wu could do anything, she was pulled by Tang San.
"Brother, you are joking. Senior brother has made great achievements in the research of martial spirit theory. It is not impossible for him to join the academy by using his extraordinary ability." Tang San said while pulling Xiao Wu.
"Xiao San, privilege is privilege. You are not as straightforward as Xiao Wu in this regard. Of course, privilege can also be fought for by yourself." Shi Yi smiled and patted Tang San's shoulder and said.
After that, Shi Yi walked forward on his own.
Looking at Shi Yi's back, Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue at Shi Yi and snorted, "Xiao San, your senior brother is no different from those disgusting noble children."
Hearing this, Tang San looked helpless and said nothing. In a sense, they were also privileged people. Born in the Tang Sect, he naturally understood that sometimes intelligence was a privilege to be one step ahead of others.
Without the master, he would not know about Shrek Academy, and would not come here at all. After all these years of getting along, Tang San also had a certain understanding of Shi Yi. Many times, even his teacher could not influence the choice of this senior brother, and Shi Yi was always a person who would not suffer a loss. Since Shi Yi also came here, it means that this academy must have something special.
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Tang San said to comfort Xiao Wu.
Soon, Shi Yi came to a small village. Seeing that many people gathered at the entrance of the village, Shi Yi knew that he had come to the right place. Tang San and Xiao Wu also lined up at the entrance of the village.
Shi Yi did not line up like Tang San and Xiao Wu, but directly bypassed the registration line and went into the village.
After searching for a while in the village, a kind villager soon brought Shi Yi to the home of the village chief.
Shi Yi explained his purpose and expressed his willingness to rent two houses next to Shrek Academy in Flanders.
The village chief immediately became enthusiastic after learning about Shi Yi's identity as a soul master and his purpose.
Soon, Shi Yi followed the village chief to the two houses near Shrek. Although they were not small, they had obviously not been lived in for a long time.
Shi Yi looked around and saw that there was no big problem with the house. He paid his rent very quickly. The village chief enthusiastically called two people to clean up the house for Shi Yi.
Shi Yi prefers quietness and doesn't like living with others, unless it is a dull person like Yu Xiaogang.
Looking at the tidy house, Shi Yi also took out the bedding from his soul guide. Most of the commonly used furniture is still in the house.
In another room, Shi Yi was going to turn it into a place for his own research.
"After being in this world for so long, I finally found my own place and a research room." Shi Yi murmured while lying on the bed.
The feeling of lying alone on the bed reminded Shi Yi of the time when he worked hard alone in his previous life.
After an unknown amount of time, a strong soul power fluctuation came. Feeling this strong soul power fluctuation, Shi Yi slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said in his heart: "Xiao San, accept the few tortures in your life."
Tang San is not a control-type soul master now. The blue silver grass with only two soul rings can't break the defense of Zhao Wuji's powerful diamond bear. It can even be said that Tang San's way of developing blue silver grass is naturally countered by Zhao Wuji. In addition, the hair crystal is still in his hand, and he has lost his only means of winning. If nothing unexpected happens, Tang San, a strong attack-type soul master, will be severely tortured by Zhao Wuji. Of course, Haozi will help fight back at night.
"I can't miss such a good show."
Thinking of this, Shi Yi slowly got up, closed the door casually, and went in the direction where the soul power fluctuation came from.
The village chief arranged a house for Shi Yi, where Shrek was the next-door neighbor. Soon, Shi Yi passed through several large trees and came to an open space.
At this time, Tang San had already brought the other three to fight with Zhao Wuji.
A man came to Shi Yi. The man was about 1.8 meters tall, a little taller than him. He looked young, with broad shoulders and a handsome face with a bit of fortitude. His long golden hair was scattered behind his back, hanging down to nearly the waist.
The most eye-catching thing was his eyes. They were a pair of evil eyes, and both eyes had double pupils.
"Who are you? Shrek Academy is not a place for casual intrusion." Dai Mubai asked bluntly.
Shi Yi smiled slightly, pointed at Tang San who was struggling to dodge with Ghost Shadow Mirage, and said: "I am his senior brother, come and see."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai's face relaxed, and he said to Shi Yi: "Are you here to join the academy?"
Shi Yi nodded and said: "Well... you can say that, but I am over twelve years old, so I didn't sign up."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai nodded slightly, and didn't say anything else, but there was a trace of imperceptible disdain in his evil eyes.
Shi Yi saw that Dai Mubai stopped talking, and also looked at the field.
The field was similar to Shi Yi's estimation. The Blue Silver Grass lacked control. Although Tang San's frequency of shooting hidden weapons increased, his influence on the battle situation decreased. In the hands of a Soul Saint with rich combat experience like Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu were quickly eliminated, leaving Tang San alone to constantly use Ghost Shadow Mirage to deal with Zhao Wuji.
Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San's hidden weapons became fiercer, basically aiming at Zhao Wuji's lower body, which made Shi Yi feel a little cold in his crotch. However, Tang San did not challenge Zhao Wuji to a duel as in the original novel. Tang San must have discovered the disadvantages of the strong attack system.
Shi Yi understood that this was just a slow death. With Zhao Wuji's defense, he could completely ignore the hidden weapons and blue silver grass shot by Tang San, but people always get tired.
At this time, the disadvantages of Tang San's original choice of development route were revealed without reservation. Shi Yi believed that Tang San's choice of route would be difficult to have an opponent in a duel of the same level, and it also raised the upper limit of the future Clear Sky Hammer, but the disadvantage of the strong attack system was also obvious, that is, it was easy to be restrained.
In a teamfight, you are not only restrained by the control system, but also by the defense system. When the opponent's offensive system is stronger than you, it will also restrain you. However, the control system is a panacea. Yu Xiaogang's plan chose to retain the most important control while leaning towards the Clear Sky Hammer. After all, Yu Xiaogang didn't know that Tang San's martial soul was the unawakened Blue Silver Emperor. Yu Xiaogang's plan was actually not bad. At least there were more things that could be done in the current situation.
At this time, Tang San's figure kept moving around the field, and a sense of powerlessness filled his body. He always believed that his development plan was the best choice. Even in the Rose Hotel, even if he met Dai Mubai, he could win with his Tang Sect's unique skills, but at this moment he was a little doubtful about himself.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding...
Countless blue silver grass leaves carried a sharp aura and hit Zhao Wuji's body, crackling. At this moment, Tang San understood that Zhao Wuji's cultivation was too high, and he lacked the means to win with one blow.
"Little monkey, do you have no other tricks besides these?" Zhao Wuji said to Tang San.
After that, a strong golden light burst out almost instantly, and a roar suddenly sounded, "Roar..."
In that strong golden light, everything Tang San did became useless. The violent shock force made Tang San spit out a mouthful of blood in the air, and his whole body felt numb and trembling.
"It's over, little monkey." Zhao Wuji retracted his martial spirit and slowly came to Tang San.
"Teacher Zhao, look..." Dai Mubai hurriedly trotted over and said to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji's palm-like palm-leaf fan immediately landed on the back of Dai Mubai's head, and said unhappily: "Do you still need to ask? They have passed the test. You kid really expect them to beat me. If you let them run away, Flanders will scold me to death? Let Oscar come and heal them."
"Yes, yes..." Dai Mubai responded quickly.
At this time, Zhao Wuji also found Shi Yi who had been standing on the sidelines. He pointed at Shi Yi and asked Dai Mubai, "What does this kid do?"
Dai Mubai said quickly, "He said he was Tang San's senior brother. He wanted to sign up, but he was already over twelve years old. He just came here to take a look."
Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "Since he is the senior brother of this little monkey, he is also a relative. Take him to find a place to live, so that outsiders will not say that we Shrek have no hospitality."
Hearing this, Shi Yi bowed slightly to Zhao Wuji and smiled softly, saying, "Don't bother the senior. I have rented a house in the village and will stay for a while."
Zhao Wuji also nodded slightly, and then said to Dai Mubai, "Go and arrange dormitories for the new little monsters."
Seeing that there was no excitement, Shi Yi slowly returned to his room.
Back in the room, Shi Yi also felt a little hungry. Thinking of the food situation in Shrek Academy, Shi Yi felt a little helpless.
"I was so busy buying materials that I forgot about this. I have to go to Soto City to buy some supplies. I will become malnourished if I eat in this cafeteria." Shi Yi thought to himself.
Then, Shi Yi slowly stood up and headed towards Soto City.
