Chapter 126 Dilemma
"Tell me, the method to absorb the soul ring beyond the limit." Shi Nian said loudly.
"Senior..." Ye Yao sighed, and said awkwardly, "Although I really want to tell you...but there is no such way."
"I said it, don't make me say it a second time!" Shi Nian snapped.
The next second, the scene in front of Ye Yao suddenly changed, the empty street disappeared, and the time standing in front of him also disappeared, replaced by...
"Student, you are late." A slightly stern voice sounded.
Ye Yao looked blankly at the bald middle-aged teacher in front of him, as well as the classmates in the classroom who all turned their eyes to him.
"This...what's going on?" Ye Yao murmured.
"Am I crossing again?"
"Student, what are you still doing standing at the door? It's been 10 minutes since class, hurry back to your seat." The teacher said with a frown.
Ye Yao subconsciously walked to an empty seat and sat down. Then, the teacher ignored Ye Yao and continued his lecture.
"Now, turn to page 1 of our advanced mathematics book..."
Isn't this the high math class I took?What's going on, I'm not...
"Hey, what's the matter with you kid, you were the first one to wake up every morning, but today is fine, no matter what you call you, you don't wake up." The roommate next to my seat asked.
"I...I don't know."
"I don't know? Are you drowsy?" the roommate asked strangely.
Is it a dream?Is everything in Douluo Dalu a dream?My manager for more than ten years, my spirit, my family, my friends...
Everything that happened in Douluo Continent flashed in his mind like a movie.
The surprise when he learned of his martial soul, the fear when he hunted the soul beast for the first time, the laughter among his companions, and a woman he could never forget...
Wait, I seem to be forgetting something?
Ye Yao suddenly covered his head, thinking hard.
He seems to have forgotten something important.
At the end of that dream, what was he doing...
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you want to go to the school doctor's office?" The roommate leaned over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I just..." Ye Yao shook his head, reluctantly said, and then froze suddenly.
Wait, I remembered, at the end of the dream, I was facing the years.
"Remnant Dream" years!
In other words, this is an illusion created by him.
Wait, I just randomly found a seat to sit, why is my roommate next to me, I clearly remember that he originally...
Ye Yao's complexion changed suddenly, and he subconsciously stepped aside, but it was still a step too late. In this illusion, his high-level intuition was useless.
A cold light flashed across Ye Yao's chest.
Ye Yao held onto the dagger in front of his chest full of pain, if he hadn't recalled it at a critical moment just now, it should have pierced his heart.
"Oh, you passed by." A strange smile hung on the face of the roommate who stabbed the dagger.
Afterwards, I saw the teacher who was lecturing, and other students all looked over in unison, with identical smiles on their faces.
"Oh, you passed by." More than sixty voices sounded at the same time, and this scene couldn't help but make people shudder.
"Fake, this is fake, this is an illusion..." Ye Yao ignored this scene, but kept deepening his understanding in his heart to prevent himself from falling into it again.
"Damn it...it's useless." Ye Yao's consciousness gradually began to blur again, and he began to be a little confused between illusion and reality.
In the end, Ye Yao hit his head with a flash of inspiration, and subconsciously said: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such..."
Ye Yao was surprised to find that the scripture he had heard somewhere in his previous life seemed to be really effective. At least, his will was gradually cohesive and no longer divergent.
"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and like lightning, and should be viewed as such..." Ye Yao closed his eyes, and kept repeating this scripture in his heart.
Afterwards, Ye Yao's mind gradually calmed down. He didn't realize that the surrounding scenes, like a mirror, were constantly cracked and then shattered.
"Hey, this kid actually broke my illusion." Outside, Shi Nian let out a surprise.
Originally, Ye Yao's body in the outside world was the same as in the illusion, covering his chest.The great thing about the illusion of the time is that if you don't find yourself in the illusion from the beginning to the end, and in the environment, after you are killed, and you firmly believe that this is reality and you have been killed, then in the environment In reality, you will never wake up again.
This is the so-called brain death in Ye Yao's previous life.
But, conversely, if you see through all this, even if you die hundreds or thousands of times in the illusion, you will still be unscathed when you return to reality, and at most you will appear a little tired.
However, even if Ye Yao hadn't seen through the illusion just now, Shi Nian wouldn't let him die, after all, he still had to ask him for a way to absorb the soul ring beyond the limit.
However, Ye Yao took the initiative to break the illusion, which aroused his interest.
"Hehe, I also said that these so-called geniuses nowadays are just children with better talents. Their minds are like thin paper, and they will shatter when touched. I didn't expect that this kid's mind is so tough." Shi Nian said in admiration. .
"However... I have plenty of ways to concoct you."
Ye Yao, who was already calm and clear, was involuntarily drawn into another fantasy.
No, not one, but many.
"Hmph, it's a boy. Throw him at the gate of the orphanage to fend for himself." Two couples whose faces were somewhat similar to Ye Yao in the previous life put their child at the gate of the orphanage, reincarnated and left.
"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such..." Ye Yao stood aside and watched this scene, trembling slightly in his heart, and then continued to recite silently.
"Oh, there are some wild species that no one raises." A childish banter sounded, and it was a group of young children throwing stones at another thin child.
"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity..."
"Teacher, can the money for buying textbooks be extended for a few more days, I..." a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy said cautiously to a teacher.
"Grace? Do you know how long it has been delayed! Today is the last day. If you don't pay the full amount today, then you won't have to go to class in the future." An indifferent voice sounded.
"Everything has something to do, like a dream bubble..."
"Look, that guy is a lonely dead house, wandering around like a ghost all day long, and always showing me a wretched smile."
"I heard that he is an orphan. He has been mixed in the society since he was a child. Be careful on the road in the future." The college girl whispered.
"Hey, kid, it's my birthday today, shouldn't you behave?" A burly man stopped a boy and said.
"What do you want?"
"Simple, you can invite the whole dormitory out for dinner today, just the newly opened five-star hotel, knowing that you are poor, I don't want you to give other gifts."
"Everything is done..."
"It's all you! It's all you! If it wasn't for you, how could she have died!" The father in this life yelled at him who was still in his infancy after his mother died of dystocia.
"Oh, this kid killed his mother when he was born, and now he killed his father..."
"Catastrophe..."
"Yeah, let's stay away from him in the future..." This is him in front of his father's grave, and the villagers are whispering.
"Ah!" Ye Yao could no longer recite scriptures, and the constantly changing fantasies had completely broken through his psychological defense.
He knew that these were all fake, and that they were all traps specially targeted at him by Shi Nian.
However, he still fell into the trap of his time.
Compared with his physical and martial spirit strength, he is just an ordinary person who is not much stronger than ordinary people in his mind.
"Fake! It's all fake!" Ye Yao roared frantically.
Outside, Ye Yao's body has curled up unconsciously, still trembling, and the soul power in his body has also begun to violently riot.
"Heh, although I have seen geniuses collapse many times, this scene still makes me feel intoxicated! And this time is not an ordinary genius, he may be the best genius in the history of Douluo Continent! Hahaha , Really, that's great!" Shi Nian laughed wildly.
"Oh, it's about the same. It's not good if you really play crazy, at least you have to ask that first, after that... There's plenty of time." Shi Nian said with a dark smile.
"However, I'm really curious, what exactly did he see, that his originally firm heart would collapse to this point..." Shi Nian said regretfully.
Every time at this time, he regrets that he is not a Title Douluo. If he is a Title Douluo, then his illusion will no longer be flawed, but almost perfect. It is impossible for Ye Yao to see through him before. illusion.
Moreover, if he is a Titled Douluo, then he can see what these people have experienced in the illusion, otherwise it would make him feel itchy to always guess like now!
It's a pity, that's a Title Douluo...
He thought that there should still be six levels of hope to reach Contra in his lifetime, but Title Douluo... hope is almost nonexistent.
Therefore, he urgently needs a method for Ye Yao to absorb the soul ring beyond the limit.
If, when he absorbs the eighth spirit ring, he absorbs a spirit ring that is powerful enough, then the spirit ring that surpasses the limit will improve his already old body, and his path of soul master may be was extended again.
One level, in his opinion, in this way, he has a certain level of confidence to advance to Title Douluo.
Don't look at this as a small layer, but this is a breakthrough from scratch!
Moreover, that is Title Douluo!Standing in the entire soul master world, the existence of the apex of the entire Douluo Continent!
If you go to the mainland and yell a word, it will increase the chance of people breaking through the Title Douluo...
Hehe, then, there will be countless old monsters with one foot in the coffin crawling out of the deep mountains, all the forces will go crazy, and there will be no place for you in the entire Douluo Continent!
Moreover, he was already too late after all, at most he could only absorb a soul ring beyond the limit.
What if it started from the first soul ring?
Ha ha……
Thinking of this, Shi Nian's heart suddenly became hot, this is his only hope to break through Title Douluo.
However, what he didn't expect was that Ye Yao, who was already on the verge of collapse, suddenly had a gleam of clarity in his eyes. He used his last strength and muttered in his faint voice...
"Avalon."
A gentle golden light diffused from his body.A golden scabbard appeared in front of him, and the light emitted from it was constantly healing Ye Yao's physical and mental wounds.
"What! This is impossible!" Seeing this scene, Shi Nian suddenly lost his voice.
impossible!Absolutely impossible!He was clearly on the verge of collapse, how could he regain his sobriety!And this...what the hell is it!
"Huh...huh..." Ye Yao panted heavily. Under the influence of Avalon, he had recovered some strength at this time, his thinking was no longer chaotic, and he regained his previous clarity.
However, at this time, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Just a little bit...just a little bit...he was really going to sink into this illusion.
If there are a few more seconds at night, even if Shi Nian pulls him out of the illusion, he will be crippled, even if his body is unharmed, but his state of mind is completely broken, and his journey as a soul master will be over. Stop, this life will always stay at the level of Soul Sect.
"How did you break through my illusion, obviously you should collapse!" Shi Nian said with an incredulous expression on his face.
"Ah, yes, I am indeed about to collapse..." Ye Yao said with a tired face.
"But... At the last moment, I still remembered something..."
At the last moment, many images flashed across Ye Yao's mind...
The Chunchun teaching of his father in this life, the teacher caring for him, Xiao Wu's lively and cute, Tang San's gentleness and reason...
Ah, these are the real ones, these are the ones that really exist in my heart.
So, taking this opportunity, he regained his clarity for a short time and recited Avalon's real name, so as to completely isolate himself from the illusions of the past and heal his body and mind.
This is something that only Avalon can do.
"Unbelievable..." Shi Nian said with a gloomy face, "Boy, you really surprised me a lot today."
Just now, he tried to pull Ye Yao into the illusion again, but unfortunately, Ye Yao didn't respond at all. Then, looking at the scabbard that was still emitting light, he understood.
"Absolute defense... I didn't expect it to be an absolute defense on both mental and physical levels. It turns out that there really is such a soul skill in this world." Shi Nian exclaimed.
Before this, it's not that he hasn't seen the so-called absolute defense soul skills, but most of them are only on the physical level, while his illusion is an attack on the spiritual level, so those soul skills are useless to him. effect.
But I didn't expect that today I saw absolute defense in the true sense from Ye Yao.
but……
"With your soul power at the level of the soul sect, how long can you support this soul skill?" Shi Nian sneered.
In his opinion, although this soul ability can be said to be invincible, its soul power consumption must be huge, at least, it is definitely not something that he, a soul sect, can support for a long time.
Ye Yao had a gloomy face and did not speak. Although Avalon's consumption was far less than what he had imagined, he could only last for a quarter of an hour at most.
For a quarter of an hour, it is an absolute defense that even a god cannot break through. It can be said that this ten thousand year spirit ring is completely worthy of its unprecedented name.
However, this is almost a bug, no, it is completely a bug skill, and now it is just letting Ye Yao survive.
For a quarter of an hour, if no one comes within a quarter of an hour, then Ye Yao's final outcome is already doomed.
So, in a quarter of an hour, will someone come...
"Wait... there seems to be another way." Ye Yao's eyes were fixed, and a thought flashed in his mind.
In doing so, there may be a chance to escape no, not even a chance.
Kill Shi Nian!
