Chapter 157: Is Spirit Vulture a mole?
Bai Yu waved his hand, supported his body, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
“That’s not necessary. The attributes are simulated by the array. As long as the arrays are combined, it will work. Four would be redundant.”
“Here, if you want to study it, these are the spirit tool and Soul Convergence Seal materials. You can take them back and look at them yourself.”
“For now, let’s hurry back to Heaven Dou City. My mental force is quite depleted, and I urgently need rest.”
Bai Yu said, taking out a dozen books and handing them to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena glanced at Bai Yu, put away the materials, and returned the notebook in her hand to him.
Actually, Gu Yuena had little interest in spirit tools. She had seen them before and could only say they were toys with minor power.
But the appearance of the Soul Convergence Seal did surprise her a bit; she hadn't expected spirit tools to have this function.
She had always thought that spirit tools were merely external objects for attack or defense.
As for why such a situation arose, it can only be said that the thinking of previous generations was limited, and they did not develop its versatility, only treating it as external armament.
According to Bai Yu’s thoughts, if this thing were properly developed, it shouldn’t be called a spirit tool later! It should be called spirit tool technology!
“Since that’s the case, let’s go back. Oh, right, are you going to continue searching for Spirit Beasts and recording spirit power routes tomorrow?”
“If so, I can take you to the Star Dou Great Forest. There are many types of Spirit Beasts there, and their age is high enough.”
“Once you completely record the Spirit Beasts there, your Soul Convergence Seal system will be half complete.”
Hearing Gu Yuena’s question, Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth. Since he decided to establish the Soul Transmission Tower, going to the Star Dou Great Forest was inevitable.
Although the variety of Spirit Beasts there gave Bai Yu a headache, the sooner it was completed, the sooner he would be free. There was no escaping it.
“Okay, I’ll come find you all tomorrow morning, and then we’ll go to the Star Dou Great Forest.”
Gu Yuena nodded, said no more unnecessary words, and waved her hand to open a spatial passage connecting to the small courtyard in Heaven Dou City, allowing the three of them to return.
When Bai Yu returned to his small villa in the academy from Gu Yuena, he saw the courtyard brightly lit with continuous laughter, and his expression immediately showed surprise.
“Hey, in the middle of the night, instead of sleeping soundly, everyone ran here to have a bonfire party. It’s quite atmospheric.”
Bai Yu muttered to himself, shook his head, and then stepped inside.
“Oh, everyone’s here? What day is it today? So lively? Wow! There’s even barbecue? Can I join?”
Bai Yu walked into the courtyard and saw Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu roasting skewers while chattering away.
Liu Erlong and Spirit Vulture each held a wine glass, seemingly in a drinking contest, while Ah Yin was very quiet, watching with a smile on her face from the side.
“Bai Yu, you’re back? Come quickly, have some with us.”
Seeing Bai Yu return, Ning Rongrong ran over, grabbed his arm, and made him sit down.
“Today’s gathering was organized by Spirit Vulture. Spirit Vulture wanted to get to know Zhuqing and me. Xiao Wu was brought by us, and Dean Liu was passing by and was called in by Spirit Vulture.”
After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, Bai Yu turned to look at Spirit Vulture, his mouth twitching, thinking, “You really know how to cause trouble.”
Seeing Bai Yu looking at her, Spirit Vulture’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Xiaoyu, I just wanted to get to know your girlfriends. You won’t blame me, will you?”
Bai Yu coughed lightly. He felt that the meat skewer in his hand suddenly had a ‘tea’ flavor, and he now had reason to suspect that Spirit Vulture was a mole sent by his cheap teacher.
“Whatever. If you like it, you can do this every day.”
“Oh, right, since you’re all here, I have something to say. Tomorrow, I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest. I might return the same day, or it might take two days.”
“You must keep the protective spirit tools I gave you. Once they are activated, I will know immediately.”
“If Tang Hao comes to attack you, activate them, and I will return at once.”
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone’s gaze gathered on him.
“Bai Yu, you don’t need a spirit ring now, so why are you going to the Star Dou Great Forest?”
Liu Erlong asked with a puzzled expression, and the others also nodded, indicating the same question.
Bai Yu didn’t answer. Instead, he picked up a bunch of skewers and started eating them, while signaling Spirit Vulture with his eyes to help explain.
Spirit Vulture’s expression froze. What did Bai Yu mean by this? Did he also know? She then began to recall Bai Yu’s previous actions in Spirit City.
After a few breaths, Spirit Vulture’s face showed realization, and she said:
“Ah, I know. You’re preparing for the Soul Transmission Tower, aren’t you?”
“However, there are 100,000-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. If you go alone, will you encounter danger? How about I go with you?”
Bai Yu waved his hand, shaking his head in refusal.
“No need. You don’t have to worry about my safety. You just stay here. You can also guard against that dog Tang Hao trying to sneak attack.”
“Let’s not talk about this. You first explain the Soul Transmission Tower to them. I’ve been eating skewers, and I’m actually a bit hungry.”
Hearing the conversation between Bai Yu and Spirit Vulture, Ah Yin and Ning Rongrong subtly exchanged glances, both realizing one thing: Spirit Vulture did not have a copy of the Chronicle of Light and Shadow!
If she did, she wouldn’t be afraid of Bai Yu encountering danger in the Star Dou Great Forest. With the Silver Dragon King there, wouldn’t it be like returning home?
Except for Liu Erlong, the four of them were all signaling with their eyes, telling each other not to let anything slip!
But Liu Erlong didn’t think that much. She directly put down her wine glass and began to ask Spirit Vulture about the Soul Transmission Tower.
Because she had never discussed the copy, she used to only treat it as Yu Xiaogang’s coordinates. Now that Gang Zi had become an enemy, this copy had become Bai Yu’s diary, which she secretly read every night.
“Spirit Vulture Douluo, what is that Soul Transmission Tower Bai Yu just mentioned? Is it for cultivation?”
Spirit Vulture scratched her head. Because she didn’t know of Gu Yuena’s existence, she didn’t want Bai Yu to risk himself, but she couldn’t persuade him.
Finally, she could only sigh and decided that after she returned, she would send this news back to Spirit Hall and let Bibi Dong worry about it.
“Hmm, the Soul Transmission Tower is not a place for cultivation. Do you know about Bai Yu’s Soul Convergence Seal? He plans to open that thing to the entire continent, and the Soul Transmission Tower is where it will be stored. It needs to be built in every city.”
“But there’s a problem now: there’s very little information on high-level Spirit Beasts, so…”
Spirit Vulture’s explanation lasted for nearly half an hour. By the time she finished, Bai Yu was also full. He clapped his hands and stood up, saying:
“I’m done eating. I’m going inside to sleep first. You all continue; don’t mind me. I’ve really been resting too poorly these past two days.”
“Oh, right, I’m going to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. Xiao Wu, do you want to come? If so, come find me here tomorrow morning.”
