Chapter 535 There are some roads I have to walk alone!

The fire dragon burned more and more vigorously, and soon swallowed up the young man.

A moment later, when the flames died down, the young man had turned into ashes.

After losing the control of their masters, the soul beasts became panicked and fled in all directions.

Lu Yu did not chase those soul beasts, but turned back to the convoy.

As the carriage slowly drove into Tiandou City, Lu Yu finally ended his training.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed across them.

"call……"

After letting out a long breath, Lu Yu felt that his condition was better than ever before.

"Is this the strength of a level 60 Soul Emperor?"

Feeling the surging power in his body, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

During the ten days that the carriage was traveling, Lu Yu finally succeeded in breaking through to level 60.

Although he had just stepped into the threshold of level 60, Lu Yu felt that his strength had undergone a tremendous change.

"Master, you're awake."

Just as Lu Yu was feeling the change in his own strength, Xiao Wu's voice was heard outside the carriage.

"Yeah, just a breakthrough."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at Xiao Wu outside, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, Master, for successfully breaking through level 60 and becoming a Soul Emperor."

A hint of admiration flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she bowed to Lu Yu and congratulated him.

For Xiao Wu, Lu Yu is her heaven and her earth.

The stronger Lu Yu is, the happier Xiao Wu will be.

"Haha, let's go into the city."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and gave instructions to Xiao Wu.

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Wu responded respectfully, and then drove the carriage towards the city.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy.

"Master, we are here."

Xiao Wu drove the carriage to a stop in front of the gate of Shrek Academy and spoke to Lu Yu who was in the carriage.

"Ah."

Lu Yu responded, then opened the curtain of the carriage and walked out.

"See you, Dean."

Seeing Lu Yu coming out of the carriage, the guard who was originally on duty at the entrance of the academy suddenly changed his expression and bowed to Lu Yu.

Everyone in Shrek Academy knows Lu Yu.

After all, Lu Yu is the dean of Shrek Academy and also the teacher of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Moreover, Lu Yu's strength is well-known throughout the Tiandou Empire.

Therefore, the guards of Shrek Academy naturally did not dare to neglect Lu Yu in the slightest.

"Ah."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, then walked towards the academy.

"The dean is back."

"Hello, Dean."

"..."

Seeing Lu Yu coming back, the students and teachers in the academy greeted Lu Yu one after another.

The students and teachers of Shrek Academy are full of respect for Lu Yu.

After all, Lu Yu is the dean and teacher, and his strength is so powerful.

"Ah."

Lu Yu nodded slightly to everyone, then continued walking towards his residence.

After returning to his residence, Lu Yu went straight into the room and began to consolidate his cultivation.

After all, he had just broken through level 60 not long ago and still needed to consolidate his experience.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

During the past half month, Lu Yu has been consolidating his own cultivation while also teaching Xiao Wu how to practice.

After half a month of instruction, Xiao Wu's strength has improved significantly.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of teaching Xiao Wu to practice, and you will get a chance to draw a lottery."

Just as Lu Yu was teaching Xiao Wu how to practice, a pleasant system prompt sound suddenly rang in Lu Yu's mind.

"Is it finally done?"

Hearing the system prompt, Lu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During the past half month, Lu Yu has been busy teaching Xiao Wu how to practice and has no time to complete the task.

Fortunately, it is finally done now.

"System, lottery."

After secretly rejoicing in his heart, Lu Yu did not hesitate and directly gave instructions to the system.

"Okay host, the lottery begins."

The system responded, and then the lottery began.

A huge roulette wheel appeared in Lu Yu's mind, with all kinds of prizes on it.

"stop."

When the roulette wheel turned to a certain speed, Lu Yu suddenly shouted.

"Okay host, the lottery result is one thousand-year spirit ring."

Hearing the voice of the system, Lu Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that he would draw a thousand-year soul ring this time.

You know, a thousand-year soul ring is extremely precious, and it is very difficult for an ordinary soul master to obtain one.

I didn’t expect that I would win one so easily in this lottery.

"System, can I let someone else use this thousand-year spirit ring?"

Looking at the thousand-year soul ring in his mind, Lu Yu suddenly asked the system.

After all, he is now a level 60 Soul Emperor, and this thousand-year soul ring is of no use to him anymore.

Therefore, Lu Yu thought of giving this thousand-year soul ring to Xiao Wu, so that Xiao Wu's strength could be further improved.

"Yes, host. You can decide who to give this Millennium Spirit Ring to."

Upon hearing this, the system directly replied to Lu Yu.

"Ah That's good."

Hearing the system's answer, Lu Yu couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart.

Afterwards, Lu Yu directly put the thousand-year soul ring into his storage soul guide.

When he has time, he will give this thousand-year soul ring to Xiao Wu, so that Xiao Wu's strength can be further improved.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a new mission. You will be required to teach the Shrek Seven Devils to practice for a month. The mission is completed and you will be rewarded with a chance to draw a lottery."

Just as Lu Yu put the thousand-year soul ring into the storage soul guide, another pleasant system prompt sounded in Lu Yu's mind.

"Has a new mission been triggered?"

Hearing the system prompt sound, Lu Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that he had just completed a task and triggered a new task.

Moreover, this new task is to teach the Shrek Seven Devils to practice for a month.

This task was an easy task for Lu Yu.

After all, he now has experience in teaching others.

Teaching the Shrek Seven Devils to practice for a month was not a difficult task for him.

"System, accept the mission."

After thinking about it in his mind, Lu Yu did not hesitate and directly gave instructions to the system.

"Okay host, the mission has been accepted."

The system responded and then disappeared from Lu Yu's mind.

"Quick! Protect the carriage and don't let the bandits rush in!"

Along with an anxious shout, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounds suddenly rang out, followed by the clanging of weapons, as well as screams and angry shouts, one after another.

"Damn it! How come these bandits suddenly appear here?" A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes had a livid face and a long sword in his hand, waving it continuously to repel the bandits who tried to approach.

Next to him, a beautiful woman in palace dress also held a long sword, guarding the carriage nervously. Inside the carriage was his daughter, an important person representing the empire on this trip.

"Father, Mother, what should we do?" A slightly trembling voice came from the carriage. Obviously, the woman in the carriage was also startled by the noise outside.

"Xuewu, don't be afraid. Your father and mother are here. No one will ever hurt you!" the middle-aged man said loudly, trying to calm his daughter.

However, there were more and more bandits outside, and they were quite powerful, including some Soul Masters. Although the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman were both Soul Masters, they gradually felt overwhelmed in the face of so many bandits.

"boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise was heard, and a bandit wielded a huge mace and smashed it hard on a guard beside the carriage. The guard flew backwards without even a groan, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Not good!" The middle-aged man's face changed drastically. He wanted to rush over to rescue, but was entangled by other bandits.

"You bunch of damn bandits, the empire will never let you go!" The beautiful woman shouted angrily, the sword flashing, and she kept repelling the approaching bandits.

However, the bandits seemed endless and rushed forward one after another.

"Xuewu, stay in the carriage and don't move. Your father is here to save you!" The middle-aged man shouted, and a bright light shone from his body, obviously activating his martial spirit.

However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded: "Humph, you want to save her? You have to get past me first!"

As the voice fell, a figure walked out from the bandits. The man was dressed in black, had a sinister face, and exuded the powerful aura of a Soul King.

The night was as dark as ink. In the border forest of the Xing Luo Empire, the embers of the campfire swayed gently in the breeze, making slight crackling sounds.

Lu Yu sat on a flat bluestone, holding a smoothly sharpened wooden stick in his hand, gently stirring the fire, and sparks flew like fireflies.

His eyes were deep, as if he was gazing at the night sky in the distance, or as if he was thinking about something deeper.

The surrounding camps have become quiet. Most members of the exchange group have gone into their tents to rest. Only the occasional footsteps of patrolling guards can be heard in the woods.

Lu Yu's thoughts did not stop.

Xue Qinghe’s words from the daytime echoed in his mind again and again: “Because you are smart enough and have enough potential.

More importantly, you are different from..."

The lingering sound of these words seemed to carry some kind of hidden weight, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Xue Qinghe is not someone who speaks casually. There may be hidden meanings behind every word and every action of this prince of the Tiandou Empire.

The "different" he mentioned

What exactly does it mean? Is it his own life experience, or those cultivation techniques that do not belong to Douluo Continent?

"Lu Yu, you haven't slept yet?"

A crisp voice interrupted Lu Yu's thoughts.

He looked up and saw Ning Rongrong walking out of the tent, wearing a thin cloak. The firelight reflected on her fair face, making her look particularly soft.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to see the night scene."

Lu Yu smiled slightly, speaking in a relaxed tone, trying to hide the thoughts in his heart.

Ning Rongrong sat down beside him, hugged her knees, and looked towards the fire: "Are you thinking about what His Highness said during the day? Brother Qinghe's words are sometimes confusing, but I feel that he seems to value you very much."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ning Rongrong: "Value? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

He is the prince of Tiandou, and he takes every step carefully.

He is interested in me, more likely because of what I have in my hands... or the value I can bring. "

Ning Rongrong tilted her head when she heard this, with a sly look in her eyes: "Oh? Are you talking about your mysterious skills? So, where did you get those skills? I've never seen anyone like you who can come up with so many strange and bizarre cultivation methods."

Lu Yu smiled and avoided the topic: "Rongrong, when did you become so gossipy? It's better not to ask about these things.

Knowing too much is not good for you.”

Ning Rongrong curled her lips and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Humph, you are always so mysterious.

But I won't force you to say it, because I know you won't harm us."

She paused, her eyes softened, "But, Lu Yu, do you really intend to be alone forever? We all at Shrek treat you as one of our own."

When Lu Yu heard this, his heart warmed slightly.

Ning Rongrong was right. This group of Shrek companions, whether it was Tang San's calmness, Dai Mubai's generosity, or Oscar's playful smile, all made him feel a long-lost sense of belonging.

However, he also has his own persistence - those secrets from another world, those skills that do not belong to Douluo Continent, are his biggest trump card and also his biggest burden.

"Rongrong, thank you."

Lu Yu's voice was low and sincere, "However, there are some roads that I have to walk on my own."

Ning Rongrong looked at him, the smile in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a trace of worry: "Lu Yu, I always feel that you are carrying something very heavy.

You...are you running away from something?"

Lu Yu was stunned, then shook his head: "Escape? Maybe.

But now, I just want to do what is in front of me.

For example, this trip to Xingluo."

Ning Rongrong wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the sound of footsteps in the distance.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing walked over side by side. Dai Mubai was holding a pot of wine in his hand with a lazy smile on his face. "Hey, Lu Yu, Rongrong, what are you two talking about here? You are still not asleep so late. You have to get up early tomorrow to travel."

Lu Yu glanced at him and teased, "You've already taken out this wine jug, and you still have the nerve to criticize us? Be careful not to get hungover tomorrow and hold everyone back."

"Haha, don't worry, I can still drink a little."

Dai Mubai sat down carelessly and handed the wine pot to Lu Yu, "Want a sip? Xingluo's specialty liquor tastes good."

Lu Yu waved his hand: "Thanks, I'm not interested in wine."

He turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and saw that she looked calm, but there was a hint of complexity in her eyes. "Zhuqing, why are you still awake so late?"

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "Something is keeping me awake."

Dai Mubai's smile froze slightly when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal: "Okay, okay, everyone, don't be so serious.

Lu Yu, when we enter Xingluo's territory tomorrow, you have to help me keep an eye on it.

I always feel that this trip will not be very peaceful. "

Lu Yu nodded, his eyes deep: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

The next morning, the exchange group's convoy continued to move forward in the morning mist.
