Chapter 227: Adam Says Nothing And Just Observes
“Spiritual Probe”
The first purple soul ring began to bloom with dazzling light.
The black-haired, black-eyed boy’s eyes seemed to contain an entire starry sky. Spiritual power extended from the sea of consciousness, and all commotions within a hundred meters radius were reflected in his eyes.
This was the soul skill brought to him by the hundred-year soul spirit Little Evil. Little Evil was a spiritual attribute Evil Eye, a six-year-old gift from his parents.
His martial soul Spiritual Eye was inherited from his father “Huo Yuhao”.
In his memory, his father “Huo Yuhao” and mother “Tang Wutong” were an ordinary couple in Star Luo City.
Except that Dad was somewhat afraid of Mom, there was nothing special.
He vaguely remembered that when he was very young, it was always Dad who cooked and did the housework. Later, for some reason, Mom started taking over Dad’s tasks.
Relying on spiritual probe, Huo Zhanji began to cautiously walk towards the distant official road.
According to the description of the Douluo World, the wilderness in the Peerless Tang Sect period was particularly dangerous. A little level thirty soul elder like him could die outside if not careful.
“This text?”
“Both familiar and strange.”
“Whatever, hurry up, spiritual appraisal!”
The third soul ring surrounding the boy bloomed with noble purple light. All information from a wooden road sign on the official road was reflected in his mind.
This soul skill was called spiritual appraisal, which consumed spiritual power to appraise all things. It was a soul skill brought to him by a thousand-year Ice Silkworm soul spirit.
Although he was somewhat disappointed when he obtained this soul skill, he later discovered that it was indeed very useful.
“Great, it’s Star Luo City.”
“No matter the time, it’s one of the top cities on the continent.”
“I can definitely collect a lot of information.”
The black-haired youth quickly headed towards Star Luo City. A soul elder’s traveling speed was very fast. Even Huo Yuhao with level ten soul power could travel a hundred li a day, let alone a soul elder?
He soon arrived at Star Luo City’s outrageous city walls, a hundred meters high and a hundred meters wide, with shock in his eyes.
“The wisdom of ancient people is truly not to be underestimated.”
“How exactly were these city walls constructed?”
The “Star Luo City” where he lived and this Star Luo City were two different places, located on different continents.
The timeline of the world where Huo Zhanji was had already advanced to after Lan Xuanyu became the Dragon God, long entering the interstellar era.
In his world, such city walls were like paper in front of soul tools, breaking with a poke, having no meaning.
Except for some cities on the original Douluo Continent that retained city walls as sightseeing spots, no place used such outdated designs anymore.
Huo Zhanji arrived at the city gate of Star Luo City, looking nervously at the guards ahead. In this period, he was a genuine black household registration, unable to withstand any investigation.
“Non-soul masters, please show your identity proof.”
“Soul masters, inject a bit of soul power into the crystal ball on the table.”
Fortunately, in this period of the Douluo Continent, household registration checks were not strict. As long as one wasn’t an evil soul master, they could casually live in Star Luo City.
Huo Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, injecting a trace of soul power into the crystal ball. The crystal ball bloomed with white light.
The guard nodded and said:
“Please enter.”
Huo Zhanji felt it was somewhat dreamlike. He hadn’t expected the past cities to be managed so loosely!
They only tested soul power characteristics, didn’t ask for name, age, or even soul power level.
However, he didn’t care about that. Being able to enter Star Luo City so simply was the best.
“Is this the ancient Star Luo City?”
“So amazing!”
Huo Zhanji walked on the streets of Star Luo City with a face full of curiosity, looking at the backward shops around, the plainly dressed residents, and occasionally a few powerful auras passing by.
After all, this was Star Luo City. Though not comparable to Shrek City, it was still full of strong people.
“Mew~”
A silver eyeball the size of a waxberry, surrounded by tiny tentacles, timidly emerged from the boy’s brow, seemingly surveying the unfamiliar new world around.
Huo Zhanji hurriedly covered Little Evil with his hand, retracting it back into the sea of consciousness, and whispered to it:
“Sorry, Little Evil, you can’t come out.”
“Soul spirit technology shouldn’t exist at this time point.”
“If you come out, it might cause big trouble.”
Huo Zhanji knew that not only could the Evil Eye not be released, he couldn’t easily release his soul rings either.
Three purple soul rings were absolute anomalies in this era. If discovered, he might face danger, especially with no acquaintances here.
“This is definitely not a game!”
Huo Zhanji looked at the residents coming and going around him and came to a conclusion in his heart.
His spiritual power secretly probed inside those residents without soul power. Everyone’s spiritual power was extremely unique, no different from the normal world.
Moreover, this world had an indescribable feeling, completely different from the Douluo World!
Especially the disappeared panel and electronic prompt sounds. Huo Zhanji, well-versed in online novels, guessed he might have transmigrated.
“It’s over, time travel.”
“Can I still go back?”
Thinking that he might never see his father, mother, and sister Dai Ying again, Huo Zhanji felt extremely lost, but not to the point of shedding little pearls.
He casually found a curb nearby and sat down on it, pensively pondering life.
Huo Zhanji had not a single copper coin on him, and couldn’t easily use either of his two martial souls. Even eating had become a problem now.
His second martial soul was Fallen Angel, dark attribute. In this period, the definition of evil soul masters was very crude; dark attribute was seen as potential evil soul master in many people’s eyes.
At this moment, an inexplicable fluctuation connected to Huo Zhanji’s sea of consciousness. His body trembled violently. Before he could react, a light screen appeared before his eyes.
“Verification successful! Race: Humanity.”
“Douluo Continent race, connection allowed.”
“Please enter Magic Net username: ()”
“After successful registration, this name will bind to you. Wish you a pleasant time online!”
Huo Zhanji was stunned. He looked at the light screen before him, momentarily not realizing what had happened.
When he reacted, he tremblingly typed “Spiritual Eye Youth” in the username field with his fingers.
Then Magic Net completed the binding. Colors on the light screen rapidly intertwined, finally entering the Magic Net Forum.
Huo Zhanji incredulously swiped the Magic Net Forum with his fingers, looking at the posts and videos almost identical to modern ones, even exciting late-night novels.
“This, is this right?”
“How could this era have a network?!”
“What the heck is Magic Net?!”
“Who made this?”
“No, is this the Douluo Continent? Where did this come from?!”
Huo Zhanji realized the seriousness of the matter. Magic Net was clearly the modern network, but wasn’t this thing appearing too early?
Moreover, the light screen before him didn’t seem like something made by soul tools. How could soul tool technology in this period achieve a network?
He had seen it when entering the city earlier; the surrounding streets all looked very backward.
If soul tools had developed to support a network, Star Luo City, as one of the top cities, couldn’t possibly look like this.
At this moment, a friend request appeared on Huo Zhanji’s light screen.
“『Dai Ying』 requests to establish a friend relationship with you”
Huo Zhanji’s pupils contracted, his body straightening up as he immediately clicked accept.
『Spiritual Eye Youth』: “Sis? Is that you?”
『Dai Ying』: “It’s me.”
Huo Zhanji was extremely excited, carefully analyzing this era’s input method, substituting characters bit by bit, then typing.
『Spiritual Eye Youth』: “Sis, how did you find me?”
『Dai Ying』: “Your online name hasn’t changed in hundreds of years. One search and there you are.”
“Where are you? We’re in big trouble.”
Huo Zhanji hurriedly replied to her, his fingers even trembling from it. He completely didn’t notice an extra figure in the shadow behind him.
A white-robed priest with golden short hair and a pair of clear golden eyes was quietly watching Huo Zhanji from behind.
Passersby around seemed unable to see this man, but would subconsciously avoid him.
Adam said nothing, just kept watching.
The moment he connected to Magic Net, Adam had already come to his side to quietly observe the youth before him.
…………
Near the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion in Star Luo City of the Douluo Continent.
Dai Ying sat on a roadside chair, with black long hair and black eyes, stunningly beautiful, just like a feminized version of Huo Yuhao.
She couldn’t help but sigh at the powerful genes of the Lao Huo family.
Dai Ying rubbed her temples, very helpless.
She had originally been in the God Realm, looking after her younger brother through the Douluo World. She had just modified his third Douluo World mission according to their mother’s request when the Douluo World suddenly experienced a large-scale error.
Space-time turbulence that made countless gods palpitate instantly appeared, pulling her and Huo Zhanji into it.
Even with God Kings’ full rescue efforts afterward, it was no use. The two of them were simultaneously engulfed by space-time turbulence in different places.
Upon arriving in this world, she connected to Magic Net and collected a lot of information, realizing this world was very off!
She tried to connect to her divine position, but found the divine position completely ignored her.
She understood that in this period, her divine position was still in the original owner’s hands; it wouldn’t pay her any mind.
Her full strength had also been severely worn down by the space-time turbulence while forcibly protecting herself and Huo Zhanji.
Upon arriving in this world, for some reason she was rejected by the world, her strength surprisingly reduced to only level eighty.
The black-haired girl was fully concentrated on contacting her younger brother, completely unaware that behind her, a golden-haired, blue-eyed girl was quietly watching, with colored ripples slightly fluctuating in the air.
