"The soul bone is there and can't run away. Brother Tianmeng, let's first sense if there are any injured people along the way."
After thinking for a second, Xu Tianxi sent his voice to the sea of spirituality.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm responded in a deep voice, without a trace of laughter on his face.
Inside the Sea of Spirit, Bingdi took the initiative to speak: "Tianxi, don't push yourself too hard. After all, you are only a quasi-Soul King. Human power is limited."
She had already heard about the shocking battle that broke out in the outside world. The number of casualties was very terrifying. She was very worried that Xu Tianxi would be affected in his cultivation state after seeing so many lives lost.
Today, Xu Tianxi persuaded Ye Yulin to lead people to make detection glasses, and he was busy from day to night. She saw it all and her heart was touched.
Compared to the humans she had seen in the past, Xu Tianxi's moral bottom line seemed to be too high. In order to save some irrelevant people, he exhausted his soul power three times and did not stop...
Those rescue teams had to stop and rest after their souls were exhausted. How many people could be as strong as Xu Tianxi? If his body had not experienced the baptism of the gold of living beings and various opportunities, he would have given up long ago.
In Bingdi's memory, she had never seen a top genius like Xu Tianxi work so hard for rescue, especially since he was not a healing soul master.
"Don't worry, Bingdi. I understand the truth, but I think... sometimes, for some things, it's better to go all out..."
Xu Tianxi's spirit body spoke silently, and gave Bingdi a weak smile:
"If I fall to the ground, I can comfort myself by saying I'm exhausted and can't do anything. But if I don't use all my strength, I think I'll look down on myself in the future. This isn't a dangerous thing, right?"
"But now, I really need to practice for a while; I will be responsible for you and will not let your efforts go to waste..."
In the real world, Xu Tianxi said to Meng Hongchen and the other two, "I will make some preparations first, you guys continue."
He sat cross-legged and meditated. His mental power quickly connected to the moon phases behind his mind, guiding the moonlight in the night clouds.
After a few breaths, a bright moon about ten feet in diameter took shape and turned into a bridge of communication. It absorbed the moonlight from the sky and converted it into soul power, which poured into the Eye of Life between Xu Tianxi's eyebrows.
The moonlight in the Eye of Life flickered, bringing out a hint of green light that flowed into the body's tendons, limbs and bones.
This is another change after the evolution of the Eye of Life. In addition to being used in combat, it can also absorb more moonlight for recovery and cultivation. The efficiency of cultivation can be increased by about half, and the recovery efficiency can be increased by about double. The specific degree is affected by the moonlight.
Inside the second sea of consciousness, Electrolux looked at Xu Tianxi, who was trying hard to recover, with satisfaction on his face.
"There is no need to worry about the consequences of passing on the magic of the dead to him. It's a pity that his martial soul is not of the light attribute, otherwise he would be able to practice faster. Let me help you..."
Looking up at the green sun formed by two pieces of gold of living things in the second sea of consciousness, Electrolux raised his finger slightly, and the green sun suddenly shone brightly. Xu Tianxi's body trembled, and a comfortable warm current flowed through his veins, and his expression relaxed.
Electrolux looked at this scene with satisfaction and nodded slightly. He seemed to see his own shadow in Xu Tianxi.
Suddenly, his eyes focused and he found that an inexplicable power had also surged into the Eye of Life, but it was harmless to Xu Tianxi himself. It was still silently nourishing the sea of spiritual and... his Fantasy Moon Mysterious Pupil martial soul.
"This power... comes from the people Tianxi saved and the three young children. Is it the power of faith..."
Electrolux released his consciousness outward and saw many wounded people looking at him with gratitude and worry after seeing the bright moon behind Xu Tianxi's head. He stared blankly as mysterious energy surged out of their bodies, which was an extremely special power of thought.
Under the influence of this power, Xu Tianxi recovered even faster. After only ten minutes, his soul power and mental strength were as full as before.
Electrolux clearly noticed that Xu Tianxi's mental power and soul power had improved, but it was not obvious yet.
Outside, Xu Tianxi opened his eyes and looked at his hands in surprise. All his fatigue disappeared. He subconsciously thought that it was Electrolux who helped him, and thanked him repeatedly: "Mr. Yi, thank you for your help."
Electrolux: "I just did some small things. You don't need to thank me too much. The biggest reason lies in you."
Xu Tianxi smiled and said nothing more, but kept the help in his heart.
Half an hour later, Xu Tianxi and his three companions, who were rescuing people as they walked, dug out a pit in which a pile of broken bones lay quietly. There was soul light shining from the positions of the leg bones and right arm bones.
Xu Tianxi took out three pieces of fire attribute ten thousand year soul bones and carefully kept them. He looked at the corpse and sighed slightly:
"You were a madman in your lifetime. Don't be a lunatic in your next life, and stay away from that damn place called Shrek."
After carrying some large stones to bury the corpses, Xu Tianxi took the three of them away and started a new activity.
What he didn't notice was that at this moment, it wasn't just Meng Hongchen. Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi also looked at him with many complex and inexplicable emotions in their eyes, which eventually became firm.
…
Xu Jiawei was seriously injured in the battle during the day. After the Medical Immortal Douluo treated his injuries, he told him to rest; but Xu Jiawei could not calm down. After resting for a day, he could not control his temper and returned to the front hall to preside over government affairs.
The Prime Minister, who was lucky enough not to be killed in the war, was also there. He told Xu Jiawei in detail the response measures taken by the Xingluo Empire after the incident that day, his voice heavy and sad.
"Your Majesty, after this tragedy, I'm afraid that the total number of casualties in our country will exceed 300,000. This is the worst disaster in our country in a thousand years..."
Xu Jiawei nodded sullenly and whispered, "During this national crisis, the whole country must fight the disaster together. Starting from now for three years, the royal family's expenses will be reduced to 30% of previous years. The royal family, from me down, must be frugal and use the saved money for disaster relief and reconstruction, as well as to comfort the people."
"I know that some of the great nobles have a lot of wealth. I couldn't touch them in the past, but this time I must skin them alive. Prime Minister, what about you officials?"
"Your Majesty is wise. I, an old minister, am willing to take out three years' salary to support the victims." The Prime Minister bowed deeply.
"Yeah." Xu Jiawei nodded and asked, "What about Jiujiu? How is she now?"
"Your Majesty, when the incident happened, Princess Jiujiu and the Xingluo Royal Academy team were protected by Nebula Douluo and evacuated without much damage. After the battle ended, Princess Jiujiu personally led the students of the Royal Academy to rescue people."
The Prime Minister's worried old face finally broke into a smile, and he continued, "Princess Jiujiu's personal presence at the front line to save lives has greatly boosted the morale of the rescue team. Although the people have suffered from the disaster, their faith in the royal family remains. Your Majesty, you have led the charge and inspired many people."
"My minor injury is nothing. The Palace Master and the Supreme of Xuanming Sect are the ones who have made great contributions. If they hadn't taken action, Xingluo City, the ten thousand year old imperial capital, would have been destroyed in an instant."
Xu Jiawei sighed and asked, "By the way, how is the situation in Xuanming Sect? I remember that they lost three or four Soul Douluo, and Xuanming Taishang and Bingfeng Douluo were also seriously injured."
The Prime Minister said, "Your Majesty the Medical Immortal has already checked them out. They are safe, but they all need to rest for a while. Some of them are seriously injured. The Xuanming Sect has suffered a great loss this time."
"Ah... I am now very glad that I gave Ice Phoenix Douluo a soul bone. This soul bone is worth it. It has brought safety to so many people in Xingluo."
Xu Jiawei felt regretful that he could not bring Xiao Changfeng into Xingluo before; now that he thinks about it, Xiao Changfeng's favor is worth more than anything else.
The evil soul masters were invading in large numbers. If the masters of the Xuanming Sect had not come out to block the most powerful firepower of those evil soul masters, Xingluo City would have been destroyed. The masters from Xingluo and the Body Sect were no match for them.
Only Xiao Changfeng can compete with that terrifying existence at level 98. What's even more terrifying is that there are actually two Extreme Douluo among those evil soul masters.
If Xuanming Taishang had not fought a fierce battle with Death Douluo first, the Lord of the Worship Hall might not have been able to complete his self-destruction in front of the two Ultimate Douluos; his death was considered a glorious one and not in vain.
"While recuperating, I just couldn't figure out how the evil spirit master could develop to such a terrifying level, with two Extreme Douluo. Prime Minister, do you have any clues?"
Xu Jiawei frowned, the hatred in his eyes could not be filled even if all the rivers and seas were filled.
The Prime Minister replied with a bitter face: "I don't know either. Didn't the Shrek Supervision Group monitor the entire continent every day? How could the evil soul master develop so many masters and no one knew about it..."
"Heh~ It's lucky that the Shrek Supervisory Group didn't get killed by the evil spirit masters like Yue Heng and the others. They are no match for those powerful evil spirit masters. It's better for us to fight the Evil Soul Masters ourselves than to rely on them."
Xu Jiawei sneered, his words full of disdain.
This accident is enough to prove that Shrek's so-called supervisory group is a joke. They have been supervising the continent for thousands of years, but in the end, there are more and more evil soul masters, right? You guys are doing it for nothing!
If the three major forces had not joined forces to fight this time, there is no telling to what extent this group of evil soul masters would have harmed the continent; it is even unknown how many civilians of the three major empires these evil soul masters have killed in the process of growing up.
"Those Seagod Pavilion elders and Titled Douluo have no other abilities, but they are very good at bullying others by taking advantage of their power. They used all their strength on other academies. That's not all, but they are still no match for the Sun-Moon Empire. They were either killed or captured alive."
"I want to see how Shrek will face those ninth-level soul masters now."
Xu Jiawei looked very unhappy. This time, Shrek sent out a large number of masters, not to suppress the Evil Soul Masters, but to retaliate against the Sun and Moon Team. Both sides sent people over, and in the end of the battle, Shrek's entire army was wiped out. It was really a joke among jokes.
Hearing this, the Prime Minister looked strange for a moment.
Xu Jiawei noticed the strangeness in the Prime Minister's face and asked, "What's wrong? Are there other changes in Shrek and Sun and Moon?"
"That's not the case." The Prime Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead. "During this disaster, the ninth-level soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire took the initiative to offer to help us with disaster relief, and he was quite active in helping us."
Xu Jiawei frowned: "What do they want to do? To win over the people?"
"Probably, but they really tried their best. Even Kong Tianxi from the Sun and Moon Team took his men to attack. They have been working at Xingluo Square for a whole day and are still there."
The Prime Minister rolled his eyes and handed a pair of detection glasses to Xu Jiawei, introducing them: "These are the spirit detection glasses distributed to our rescue team by the Sun and Moon Empire. They are very useful for rescue."
Xu Jiawei put on his glasses and felt it for a while. His pupils suddenly shrank: "They are willing to distribute this kind of thing to us?!"
The Prime Minister bowed his head and replied, "The Sun-Moon Empire said that this item was made by Kong Tianxi, the captain of the Sun-Moon Team. It was his suggestion, and the ninth-level soul masters only made it."
"Kong Tianxi has saved many geniuses from the three empires. He said that there is no need to worry about the differences between countries at this time, and he brought them to save people together. It is said that he has collapsed from exhaustion several times."
Xu Jiawei was stunned, then slowly stood up and paced back and forth in front of the Prime Minister. Suddenly, he laughed and took off his glasses.
"Go call Jiujiu and tell her that I have something important to discuss with her..."
…
Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Yan Shaozhe slammed his palms on the table, his eyes filled with disbelief, staring at Xian Lin'er who was kneeling in front of everyone with Bei Bei, and roared with red eyes: "Lin'er, tell me, what happened in Xingluo City?! This is not true! It's not true!!!"
