Lord of Nine Stars

"Yeah" Rong Taotao rubbed his sleepy eyes and made a nasal sound.

There was the sound of the cold wind whistling in my ears, and my slightly blurred vision was the bed board directly above me.

Where is this place?

Rong Taotao reacted for a while, his eyes gradually became focused, and then he realized that he was in an Antarctic training camp.

Oh yes.

I came to Antarctica and stayed here for a long, long time.

Rong Taotao sighed deeply. After entering the vortex of the void, he could not find the breath of lotus pods, and there was no space crack tearing apart. His tense nerves relaxed and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Chief, you're awake." Feng Yuan walked over slowly holding a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you." Rong Taotao took the iron teapot, and the hot tea warmed his cold palms.

"Suck. Ha."

In the Antarctic training camp, he took a sip of tea. In the whirlpool of the void, the curled-up Yaolian Tao also opened his eyes, and his consciousness gradually returned to clarity.

In the slightly dark cellar, only the cloud sun lamp emits a faint golden light.

cellar?

Rong Taotao touched the soft Yun Duoyang Lantern under him. It seemed that his parents had done a lot of things after he fell asleep.

The Yunduoyang lamp under me is as big as a double bed, and it is obviously the work of Rong Yuanshan.

Rong Taotao sat up carefully, turned around and saw Rong Yuanshan sitting quietly aside, with a sleeping Xu Fenghua on his lap.

The long journey to Antarctica, which lasted more than a month, left everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

If they were just on their way, no matter how harsh the wind and snow environment, glaciers and snowy mountains were, they would not cause much trouble to the Rong family.

The problem is that they need to be alert to the space cracks that open everywhere and be accompanied by death at all times.

Mental fatigue is the most tormenting.

Rong Yuanshan realized that Rong Taotao had woken up. He hurriedly raised a finger and put it to his lips, making a gesture of silence.

Rong Taotao nodded obediently. Her mother was lying on her side on the Yun Duo Yang Lantern. There was also a little black cat lying on her palm casually resting on the Yun Duo.

The little black cat's sleeping posture was very domineering and cute. Its petite body sank into the big cloud bed, lying on its back, using Xu Fenghua's palm as a pillow.

Seeing this scene, Rong Taotao felt much better.

By the way, doesn't the little coal ball feel the coldness on the back of his head?

Xu Fenghua's palms were bone-chillingly cold, and the little guy's brain must have been frozen to the point of pain, right?

Rong Taotao turned on Songxue Wuyan and left a message in his father's mind: "Dad, please take a nap too, I'll watch over you."

Rong Yuanshan nodded lightly, leaned against the wall, and slowly closed his eyes.

Under the dark golden light, Rong Taotao looked at the surrounding rocks and sighed secretly in his heart.

He was a little confused and didn't know what to do next.

Find it, the old friend who has been with him the longest and is always the most trusted partner.

Slowly, Rong Taotao drew out a Fangtian painted halberd, but no matter how careful he was, the slightest surge of soul power still woke up Xu Fenghua.

She opened her eyes drowsily and looked at the child holding the halberd in front of her. There was a hint of laziness and sleepiness in her voice: "Taotao."

"Shh." Rong Yuanshan gently patted Xu Fenghua's arm with one hand. Within a few moments, Xu Fenghua closed his sleepy eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

Whether it's Rong Yuanshan or Rong Taotao, Xu Fenghua can always feel at ease next to them.

Rong Taotao felt a little guilty and put his forehead against the cold head of the halberd - the tic-tac-toe shape.

Fang Tian's skill in painting a halberd was replayed over and over in his mind.

Only this time, Rong Taotao's world of martial arts no longer has only one person and one halberd, but an imaginary enemy.

Ghost Master·Two Tails.

Rong Taotao didn't know whether he should hate her, because his feelings for her were sincere.

During the two years when he was young and had no one to rely on, she and the teaching stick in her hand were all Rong Taotao had.

However, the emotions between the master and the apprentice seemed to be out of sync.

She has always been a condescending person. Her rustling voice is very charming, but she can always say some cold words.

Including the goals she set for him.

On the road of hard pursuit, Rong Taotao is no longer sure whether the master-disciple relationship is pure, and whether he is really just a toy or a chess piece in her hand.

"Ha." Rong Taotao took a deep breath, his thoughts were confused, and the martial arts scenes in his mind became increasingly disorganized.

Maybe you really are a god.

I am only a fraction of those chosen by you.

But even though I am a chess piece, I still have feelings and am a human being of flesh and blood.

I can't find the way forward, Erwei, I really don't know what to do.

To me, the void vortex is the end of the soul martial world. I have searched every corner of the world, but I still can't find the lotus pods in your mouth.

What should I do? Huh?

"Advanced! Fang Tianji is proficient, seven-star, mid-level!"

In the fantasy martial arts arena, Rong Taotao pierced Erwei's heart with a halberd.

And the wounds on Erwei's body were not just that, her body was riddled with holes and bruises, and she was killed over and over again by Rong Taotao.

Retaliation?

No, the offense is mutual.

At Rong Taotao's level, it's okay if he practices by himself. If there is an imaginary enemy, he will not deceive himself.

In other words, the imaginary enemy in his mind will also go all out.

Therefore, Rong Taotao and Erwei were in the same state, with their bodies covered with blood holes.

The tip of his halberd pierced Erwei's heart, and Erwei's staff also shattered his Adam's apple.

This is more of a vent than an exercise.

Die together, burn together.

"Ha." Rong Taotao laughed dumbly. After practicing Fang Tian Hua Ji for so many years, it has always been a defensive and counterattack routine.

And after reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, you told me to give up life and death and rely on madness to survive?

Or, are you sending me some obscure message through Fang Tian Hua Ji?

After all, you gave me the inner soul map.

I really hate you more and more, Mr. Erwei.

In the fantasy martial arts arena, Rong Taotao turned his wrist and instantly tore Erwei's heart into pieces.

Erwei's gesture changed from holding the stick to standing palm, and he pushed the stick forward suddenly. The head of the stick, which had already broken Rong Taotao's Adam's apple, instantly penetrated his neck.

Rong Taotao couldn't deceive himself. This was his understanding of fighting. If the concept of defense is put aside, he is killing the enemy and being killed.

"Taotao?" Xu Fenghua's concerned voice came from beside him.

Rong Taotao woke up with a start and subconsciously touched his Adam's apple with one hand. It’s not good if the martial arts level is too high. This experience is too immersive.

In fact, not only Xu Fenghua woke up, but Rong Yuanshan also woke up.

The two parents looked at the murderous Rong Taotao, and felt their hearts beating with fear and their hair standing on end next to the person closest to them.

Well, Rong Yuanshan had experienced it a long time ago, but this was the first time for Xu Fenghua to see Rong Taotao like this.

She didn't know why Rong Taotao's murderous intention was so strong in this small cellar, in such a comfortable environment as Yun Duoyang Deng's bed.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Fenghua looked concerned, his eyes full of worry.

Faced with repeated failures and fruitless pursuits, she could accept Rong Taotao's frustration, depression, and even decadence.

But she couldn't accept that Rong Taotao turned into a ferocious beast, turned into a... Wait!

Xu Fenghua's expression froze, and he looked at Rong Taotao carefully. At the soul level of Rong Taotao, the change in his mood had the greatest impact on his development.

At this moment, Xu Fenghua actually found the shadow of that woman in Rong Taotao's body.

Fierce and ruthless, his body is full of violent aura, and his bright eyes are like a ferocious beast in the dark night.

Ever since that woman took away the inner soul map, Xu Fenghua hadn't seen that mysterious figure again for many, many years.

But he didn't expect that many years later, Xu Fenghua would see her again on his son's body and smell her breath again.

Xu Fenghua said softly: "She came to see you again? In your dream?"

"Sorry, Mom, I woke you up." Rong Taotao shook his head, "She didn't come to see me. I was just reviewing the halberd technique and got some new ideas."

Xu Fenghua was very sure that Rong Taotao's so-called "new ideas" were definitely not about technique, but about style and even mentality.

Xu Fenghua pondered for a moment and said softly: "You have to know what is good for you and what style is truly suitable for you."

Rong Taotao lowered his head silently, style?

Xu Fenghua hesitated for a while, and then said: "Although you are just a student in the soul school, you are special enough. Your soul method is extremely high-level, and it is not the nine-star soul method that the world can understand.

Your martial arts attainments are extremely profound, and your inner soul map makes your journey smooth.

I don't know if my judgment is accurate, but maybe you are really one step ahead and faced the difficulties that only the Great Soul School should face in advance. "

Listening to his wife's words, Rong Yuanshan nodded secretly and listened with great concentration.

At this moment, Rong Yuan Mountain is the pinnacle of the Great Soul School. The difficulties he faces are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The people who have common topics with him, besides the echelon of soul generals, are soul warriors like Xiao Ziru.

Xu Fenghua put a hand on Rong Taotao's shoulder and spoke softly: "To be promoted to a soul general in the Great Soul School requires not only hard indicators such as soul magic, soul power, and compatibility with life beasts.

The most difficult thing is that the Great Soul School doesn't know how to enter the Tao.

Here, the so-called "Tao" can be simply understood as the path to promotion to a Soul General. When you truly reach this level, you will understand this 'Tao' more deeply. "

Xu Fenghua was good at teaching and explained things in simple terms: "My journey to becoming a soul general was very smooth. At that time, I was standing on the Dragon River.

I know what I'm doing, and I know what I want.

Every minute and every second on the Long River, my goal did not deviate, and my heart did not waver at all.

Compared to latecomers such as Nancheng and Tu Yanwu, I am lucky. Due to my special living conditions, I did not experience too many twists and turns to become a soul general. Everything fell into place naturally. "

Xu Fenghua spoke earnestly and looked at Rong Taotao solemnly: "Don't go astray, my child. Setbacks and failures are temporary. Don't go astray."

Rong Taotao lowered his head silently, his mind already drifting away.

If we say that the competition on the spiritual level is the top battlefield.

Then the state of mind is the ultimate answer for top soul warriors to become gods step by step.

Rong Taotao knows himself very well. He didn't make any technical breakthroughs when he was promoted to a small rank just now.

This is where the problem lies!

Since there is no technical breakthrough, why should Fang Tianji be promoted?

The only change is his fighting style, the mentality he adheres to during the battle.

does this mean

Epic quality·Seven-star Fangtian Painted Halberd, is it already at the pinnacle of martial arts skills?

Fang Tianji has already reached the highest standard in the world, and if the remaining two stars want to be promoted, then it has nothing to do with skills, but only with state of mind?

What kind of heart would that be?

A heart boiling with murderous intent?

Stop making trouble, if my soul martial arts were like this, why would I have to walk hard on this thorny road for five years?

I should stay in No. 0 Canyon of Qianshan Pass and not come out. Day and night, with my sword in hand, I should become a god and a saint in the endless sea of ​​blood and corpses.

But even at the bottom of Canyon 0, I never lost my mind.

It is difficult for Rong Taotao to put gold on his face. Even though he has countless dead souls under his command, it seems difficult for him to be qualified to enter the Tao through killing.

Therefore, murderous intention is just an external manifestation.

Judging from everything I experienced in the fantasy martial arts field just now, in essence, it should be a determination to die together and die together?

My mother warned me not to go astray.

Is this considered a deviation? I seem to be just a little more determined.

Even during the years of defensive counterattack, I often had this mentality when facing strong enemies.

People nourish utensils, and utensils also nourish people.

Fang Tian's painted halberd accompanied Rong Taotao in his soul martial career, and his creed of defense and counterattack ran through his student days and military days.

In the end, his old friend led him here.

Or maybe in Rong Taotao's subconscious mind, if he wants to truly get what he wants, he should have such a mentality?

"Let's go." Rong Yuanshan suggested softly.

Xu Fenghua stood up directly: "Okay, let's go."

For both parents, it is also good to take their children out for a walk.

Rong Taotao: "Sorry, Dad, you just needed to take a rest."

Rong Yuanshan didn't care: "Your mother and I work shifts. It's okay. I've already rested."

Rong Taotao: "Have I slept for so long?"

Rong Yuanshan smiled and said no more. He just stepped towards the entrance of the tunnel and used practical actions to urge the child to get out of the cellar and go to the vast world of stars outside.

"Where are we going?" Rong Taotao stood at the entrance of the tunnel, looking up at his parents standing firm above.

Rong Yuanshan turned around and looked at his feet: "The whirlpool in the void is huge. Maybe there is another spatial tunnel? Maybe the other void treasure is here, staying in a corner, waiting for us to get it.

We haven't reached the end of the road yet, Taotao, we're still far from it. "

Xu Fenghua leaned down and reached out to Rong Taotao at the bottom of the pit with one hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "There is no end to this world, Taotao.

There is a road at the end of the road. "

Rong Taotao raised his hand and squeezed his mother's hand.

"Um."
