"Uncle him?" Xiaoyue stood behind the Ring of Time, her eyes filled with the sadness of a bereaved friend.

"The consumption is too great, and I can't wake up for a while. One of the generals said lamentingly.

"Then we'll wait here. The Ring of Time said, and Xiaoyue behind her nodded in agreement.

On the way, Lu Xiaoxing and his party were not ordinary people, and it only took half a day to approach the border city northwest of the lamp tree.

After the contract was terminated, Yuxia became her original appearance, more lively, not as submissive as before, and Lu Xiaoxing felt a lot better.

"Look at that bird, is the color of its wings very similar to mine?" Yuxia unfolded her energy rain wings and pointed to the tops of a certain tree. In the treetops, a small finch with a golden back and a snow-white belly is bouncing.

"Like, the personality is also very similar to you. Lu Xiaoxing replied, such a rainy summer is the rainy summer in his heart.

"Boom!" Fred broke through the tree on one side. The three of them were taken aback.

"Hyosung, I've got you a nice pet, get it with a contract!" Fred waved back.

Everyone looked in the direction he had come from, and two purple flames were approaching. If you look closely, it's a pair of eyes.

"What's that?" Lu Xiaoxing couldn't see what was in the shadows of the jungle.

"Throat!" a huge stone man with an ugly appearance. The whole stone figure is made of earthy yellow stones, and although it is huge, it does not appear bulky at all.

"Earth and Stone Golem, I've seen it in books, why is this one so big?" Lu Xiaoxing walked forward slowly.

"Earth Spirit, of course it's different. Fred smiled as he looked at the approaching earth spirits.

"Okay, puppet contract. Lu Xiaoxing quickly rushed towards the earth spirit, and his right hand was covered with a layer of gold. Unlike usual, the golden flame did not appear, and instead was replaced by a golden ring on the forehead, which took up a third of the forehead.

Tu Ling saw Lu Xiaoxing, and his right hand turned into a fist and hammered down.

Lu Xiaoxing, who was at the feet of the earth spirit, kicked his legs, jumped up, and flew towards the chest of the earth spirit.

The stone arm rubbed against Lu Xiaoxing's body, Lu Xiaoxing slapped his right hand on the earth spirit's chest, his body leaned back, kicked one foot on the earth spirit's chest, and a backflip fell on the ground in front of the earth spirit.

"It's done. Fred said to Yu Ming and Yu Xia, who stopped to watch.

"Where is this?" Lu Xiaoxing is in a world made of earth and stone.

He didn't notice that a semi-circular arc had appeared on his forehead under the gold ring, covering the half of the ring, and a thick golden line extended straight down from the bottom of the semi-arc to the bridge of his nose and up to the tip of his nose.

"I don't like this kind of contract. A thick voice said. "I don't like the feeling of servitude. ”

"Actually, I don't like to use this trick either, let's make friends. Lu Xiaoxing felt that his surroundings were different.

"My perception has improved?" he thought.

"Well, I can feel affection from you. Tu Ling said.

"The power of nature?" Lu Xiaoxing thought.

"What's your name?" Lu Xiaoxing asked.

"I don't know, I was born from the earth element, and I am where there is an earth element. Tu Ling said.

"In that case, you might as well call it 'infinity', as boundless as the vast earth. Lu Xiaoxing said.

"I love the name, thank you, you are my first friend. Infinity said.

Lu Xiaoxing felt a large amount of earth elements gathered in his right hand, and the earthy yellow light flashed in front of him. He was back in the real world, and he felt like he was getting stronger again.

A black diamond-shaped mark remained in his right palm, and he returned to his original place, and the giant stone giant disappeared out of thin air.

"We have a new friend, Infinity!" Lu Xiaoxing waved his right hand, and the earth and stone giant just now reappeared.

"Hello. Infinity said.

"My name is Lu Xiaoxing, this is Fred, this is Yuxia, and this is Yuming. Lu Xiaoxing introduced them one by one.

"You look strong, let's make a move?" Fred raised his right arm to Infinity.

"Good!" infinity threw a straight punch downward, opposite Fred's two punches.

"Bang!" two fists, one big and one small, collided, and neither of them moved.

"Okay, I'm going to exert myself!" Fred smiled confidently, his right arm shining with dark gold streaks, which was particularly conspicuous.

"Boom..."The infinite huge body began to be forced backwards.

"Phew!" The other three inhaled as they watched it, and such a strong force opened their eyes.

"How?" Fred lowered his right arm.

"This is just my first form, don't get complacent too soon. "Infinity is not convinced.

"Well, I'm waiting for you to fight me again. Fred crossed his hands and smiled at the unconvinced man.

"Huh?" Yu Xia let out a soft snort. "What's on your face?" she pointed at Hyosung.

"Is there anything?" Lu Xiaoxing was a little puzzled.

"Wow. Yu Ming pulled out his knife and stretched it out in front of Lu Xiaoxing's face, the golden blade of the knife was like a bronze mirror.

"This is..."On the Wind Spirit Knife, Lu Xiaoxing saw his face, and the golden ring on his forehead extended a thick golden line to the left and right, almost reaching the hairline on both sides.

"That's what you're working towards, and obviously you've found your way. Fred smiled.

"Aha, I've learned a very aggressive light technique. Lu Xiaoxing said.

"No, now that your light skill has been upgraded to a holy skill, after all, you no longer use the power of that little spark. Fred interjected.

"Again, do you want to try my curse. Lu Xiaoxing asked.

"Come on, I'll let you try your hand, don't worry, don't spare any effort, I can bear it." Fred stood facing Lu Xiaoxing and closed his eyes, and Yuxia, Yu Ming and Infinity on the side watched quietly.

"Curse whispering, extinguish!" Lu Xiaoxing raised his hand to face Fred with his palm, and the golden pattern on his forehead turned black, like a brush drawing a heavy stroke on it.

Fred kicked one foot on the ground, the shirt on his upper body burst, and the muscles of his whole body were trembling as if he was resisting something.

Fred closed his eyes and yelled "Dreadnought!" The golden faint halo could only linger on the surface of his body, as if he was being squeezed by an invisible force.

"Okay!" After Lu Xiaoxing said a word, the five fingers of his right hand were slowly bent.

"Hehe..."The spear came out of thin air, and Fred grasped the handle of the gun with one hand, half-kneeling on the ground, "Unyielding!"

Here, when Lu Xiaoxing gradually clenched his fists, blood-red wounds burst out on Fred's body, and blood flowed out of them.

Finally, the moment Lu Xiaoxing clenched his right hand, a blood-red trickle erupted from Fred's body, as fierce as a detonated barrel. Lu Xiaoxing had already consumed all his holy power at this time, and was pushed out like a sandbag by the air current.

Infinite turned into a dark yellow point of light and returned to Lu Xiaoxing's palm, generating a shield composed of earth and stone on him, although it didn't look very strong, it still blocked the damage of the impact for him, and he was not injured by falling to the ground.

Yu Ming drew his knife and stuck it in front of him, the air flow was cut in half, and Yu Xia stood behind him worriedly.

The smell of blood gradually dissipated, and Fred's figure was revealed, the wounds on his body had healed, the spear in his hand was gone, and a pair of white dragon wings behind him were like newborn cicada feathers, and the flesh and bones and countless blood vessels that made up the dragon wings could be seen through the thin skin.

"Brother Lu, are you okay?" Fred jumped to the stumbling side of Lu Xiaoxing, and the dragon wings behind him were slowly stretching and darkening.

"It's a bit overdepleted, what are you?" Lu Xiaoxing felt Fred's aura even stronger.

"I broke through under your oppression, if I didn't break through, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear your curse. Fred patted Lu Xiaoxing on the shoulder, and could see that the protrusion on his forehead was more obvious.

"Well, why don't you take a break? Yuxia ran over and asked in a panic.

"It's okay, take a rest here, it's already afternoon, it's better to leave tomorrow morning. Fred said.

"So be it, you clean up, I'll have to rest. Several people arrived at a clearing in the forest on the side of the road, and Lu Xiaoxing sat down cross-legged. The golden lines reappeared, and Lu Xiaoxing began to absorb nearby energy to replenish himself.

"Hyosung! I can see that you have been through a lot of things, and it only took two months to get the curse. Lu Tian's figure stood in Lu Xiaoxing's mental space, and in front of him was Lu Xiaoxing's phantom.

"You've recovered!" Lu Xiaoxing's phantom leaped up from the ground.

"yes, I'll be with you for a while again. Lu Tian said with a smile.

"I heard Xiaoyue say, you are my father?!" Lu Xiaoxing couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, and he trembled a little when he spoke.

"She told you...... Son. Lu Tian hugged Lu Xiaoxing.

"Yes, Father. For the first time, Lu Xiaoxing shed tears in Lu Tian's arms.

After narrating, Lu Tian told Lu Xiaoxing in detail what happened in the Holy Realm at that time, and Lu Xiaoxing also chose to understand the matter of Lu Tian leaving with Xiaoye in the end. After hearing all the things, he truly understood the Holy Realm. When Lu Xiaoxing told him about his experience in the past few months, Lu Tian also became surprised. Because there are too many living forces left in the Holy Realm, as long as a few people can grow up, the reconstruction of the Holy Realm is not difficult.

The two chatted for a long time, and the conversation included almost everything about Lu Xiaoxing.

"In other words, what you are absorbing and using now is natural energy?" Lu Tian was filled with emotion after listening to Lu Xiaoxing's lecture about the Holy Technique.

"Yes, and I will have such gold lines on my face. Lu Xiaoxing pointed to his forehead.

"Why didn't you think of it in the first place?" Lu Tian muttered to himself. "Hyosung, did you know that everyone in the Holy Realm will use a power called 'Race Talent Forbidden Spell'?"

"I don't know. Lu Xiaoxing listened carefully.

"It's an ability to unleash a super skill at the cost of your life, and it's characterized by the golden lines on your face right now. Lu Tian said.

"But I'm using natural energy now?" Lu Xiaoxing asked.

"That's why I said I didn't think that if I could use natural energy instead of fighting for my life when I was in the Holy Realm, I wouldn't be like this now. Lu Tian said with some sadness.

"Hmm......" Lu Xiaoxing really couldn't say anything comforting.

"Alright, it's almost time, your companion is coming back, we'll talk later. Lu Tian touched Lu Xiaoxing's head, "You still have a long way to go, as an eleven-year-old boy, you have grown up too fast." ”

"Because there are things to guard, goals for me to accomplish, and my responsibilities do not allow me to spend an ordinary childhood. Lu Xiaoxing said righteously, but he didn't know that the last sentence hit the sore spot in Lu Tian's heart.

"......" Lu Tian didn't say anything more, and his figure gradually disappeared in Lu Xiaoxing's spiritual space.

When he opened his eyes, it was already dark, and Fred was packing up something in front of the fire.

"What about the two of them?" Lu Xiaoxing stretched his body, full of energy.

"One is at the top of the tree, and the other is learning from you. Fred stood up, something hanging behind him.

"Huh, the dragon wings behind you have changed?" Lu Xiaoxing walked over.

"Indeed, a lot has changed. Fred unfurled the dragon wings behind him. The dragon wings are no longer the milky white color they were original, and the traces on them are also revealed. The black glittering dragon wings were densely covered with angular scales, which were covered like feathers, and looked a little heavy.

"This ...... I'm afraid this isn't an ordinary dragon wing, right?" The dragon wings in Lu Xiaoxing's memory were the wings he saw in the book that were not covered by scales.

"It's really weird, and I don't know why. But I still want to thank you, you have given me another kind of ability, and my strength has also increased a lot. Fred patted Lu Xiaoxing.

"It's all a family, why be polite?" Lu Xiaoxing waved his hand.

"It's dark, you have to put out the fire, otherwise it's easy to be attacked. Fred fanned out the fire with his dragon wings and sat down in place, while Lu Xiaoxing climbed up the tree to find Yu Ming.

"It's not a little windy up here, how is it, windy man?" Lu Xiaoxing asked Yu Ming on the treetops.

"It's okay, being in a windy place can make my cultivation improve by leaps and bounds. Yu Ming said.

"Really? Then I'll sit down for a while. Lu Xiaoxing closed his eyes, and the golden veins slowly appeared on his face. I don't know how long it took, but he felt something different when he became one with nature. opened his eyes, Yu Ming on the side opened his eyes at the same time, and the two nodded at each other.

In the forest, the morning sun is projected on the ground through layers of dense leaves. However, there was a discordant black in it, slowly approaching the extinguished fire. The man was wearing a large cloak with a hood covering the upper half of the man's face, and the lower half of his face was hidden behind a high vertical collar with a horizontal clasp at the neckline that tied the throat under the vertical collar, leaving a lot of space underneath, and his arms hidden in the cloak, which was particularly mysterious. It was early autumn, and the outfit was somewhat dissonant.

"Who?" Lu Xiaoxing and Yu Ming landed steadily on the ground, standing between the fire and the man in black.

"Found you...... We'll see you again. The man in black didn't say much, his figure suddenly twisted, and then disappeared in place. Lu Xiaoxing and Yu Ming glanced at each other in confusion, and the only thing that surprised them at this time was that the man in black who was the same height as Lu Xiaoxing just now made a cute voice like a little girl.

"......?" neither of them knew what was going on.

"What's wrong?" Fred jumped from the tree, the black wings behind him even more gorgeous in the sunlight.

"It's alright, it's time to go. In front of you is Xizhi City, so you can't waste time. Lu Xiaoxing glanced at Yu Ming, Yu Ming nodded, and did not say what happened just now.

"The bad news is that I can't go into town with you. Fred sighed. "My dragon wing can't be taken back, it's like my hands and feet are connected to my back flesh and bones, if I go into the city, it will probably cause misunderstanding, mixed blood is not accepted in this world after all. ”

When the three of them were in a dilemma, Yuxia descended from the sky, and to Lu Xiaoxing's disbelief, a trace of gold thread appeared in the corner of her eye, and at the same time, her lamp flame was gone.

"You also understood?" Lu Xiaoxing asked.

"Of course, it's not that hard. Yu Xia Waner smiled.

"Let's discuss the current problem first. Fred said. "Since my dragon wings cannot be retracted as freely as yours, I will move around the towns and forests outside the city, and mark me if you are going to set off, and I will come forward if necessary. ”

"It seems that this is the only way, you take care, let's go first. After Lu Xiaoxing finished speaking, the three of them returned to the road together and headed towards Xizhi City.

In less than half an hour, the three of them had arrived in this southwestern town, known as the Ownerless Country. The walls were tall and thick, and the soldiers were trained to patrol them, and the three of them entered the city without any problems. The big free trade zone came into view, and the noisy bazaar didn't attract the attention of the trio, what really attracted the trio was a summoning order on a bulletin board.

"The Resolution Hall recently discovered the ruins of a ruined city during the Great War of Saints and Evil in the forest southeast of the Shudu, and we are willing to recruit 1,000 volunteers to investigate, and those who are interested will report to the local war bureau. After reading it, Lu Xiaoxing touched his chin.

"Let's go play too. Yuxia leaned over Lu Xiaoxing and asked.

"Brother Xing, it just so happens that we are going to Shudu, this trip kills two birds with one stone. Yu Ming also spoke.

"Alright then, we have to be careful, and we'll leave when we're done. Lu Xiaoxing said.

The three of them stepped into the gate of the War Affairs Bureau together, with Lu Xiaoxing in front and Yu Ming Yuxia on either side of him.

"We're going to sign up for the ruins reconnaissance. Lu Xiaoxing said to the person at the table.

The man glanced at the three boyish-looking applicants and asked nonchalantly, "What can you do, let's have fun?"

Haha burst out laughing, which caused the other applicants to laugh too. The man raised his glass and took a sip of water, and when he saw that the three of them did not move, he was ready to continue the taunt.

Yu Ming put his hand on the handle of the knife behind his back and gently pulled out an inch or so.

"Click!" There was a crisp sound, and an invisible wind knife swept over the bottom of the cup, and the water in the cup fell on the table along with the bottom of the cup. "Keep your mouth shut, if you don't want your head, feel free. Yu Ming closed the knife.

"It's... Yes, I'll report you. The man smiled as he quickly cleaned up the mess, he had just been frightened.

In the group, a pair of eyes watched three people, and unlike the others, these eyes flashed with the same greed as seeing gold.
