"It's that simple. I can't remember how many years I haven't eaten fruit. This can be considered a wish of mine for thousands of years. You are lucky. You can do this without any effort, but you can get me."
Just the three wishes of the Star Demon Emperor, ah! How can you be so lucky? You are so lucky that I am a little jealous of you!" The old man couldn't wait at this time, thinking that he would be able to go out again soon, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
At some point, I must get back everything I have lost over the past few thousand years, and teach these hateful and treacherous humans a lesson.
The three fruits were not hanging too high. Xu Lei jumped hard and pulled the three fruits down along with the vines.
"Quick, give it to me!" The old man couldn't wait.
After Xu Lei peeled off the vines, he looked at the three fruits in his hand, which were heavier than ordinary fruits, with great interest. Seeing them up close made him even more hungry. He had never seen such gorgeous colors before.
The fruit is vaguely translucent, and through the light of the torch, you can see that there seems to be a faint flowing light quality inside.
"Quick, give it to me. Every time I eat a fruit, I will help you fulfill a wish!" The old man's face was already a little distorted due to excessive excitement. After all, he has been stuck here unable to move for thousands of years, and now he can get out at a glance.
, it would be strange not to be excited.
Xu Lei took a few steps forward and handed three fruits to the old man.
"I can't move, please help me feed it into my mouth." The old man said, opening his mouth wide and waiting for the three demon fruits containing all his fighting spirit power to enter his body.
But Xu Lei's next move made the old man's long mouth unable to close any longer, and his eyes widened as wide as bells. If he could cry, he would probably have to cry to the point where the mountains and seas would collapse.
I saw Xu Lei just about to put the three fruits into his mouth, then he was stunned and suddenly retracted, and while he was stunned, he threw two of the three fruits into his mouth and started chewing.
"It's so delicious!" Xu Lei looked like he was still unsatisfied. The fruit was indeed unusual. As soon as he took his mouth, it turned into a refreshing fragrance. It was sweet and incredibly moist. After swallowing it, he immediately
I feel a huge warm current flowing through every cell in my body. I feel that the fighting spirit energy in my cells instantly expands and fills up, making my whole body feel extremely comfortable.
Xu Lei took the only fruit left in his hand and handed it to the old man's mouth, "No, you can eat this."
The old man didn't eat the Demon King Fruit, and after a while he cried out bitterly: "Are you wasting the two wishes that I, the Nine-Star Demon King, gave you just for a mere two fruits?"
Seeing that the old man refused to eat, Xu Lei took the fruit back, shook his head and said, "I only need one wish. My wish is that you give me another hundred wishes!"
The old man was petrified on the spot. After a long time, he beat his chest and shouted: "You kid doesn't act according to common sense!"
After shouting for a while, the old man calmed down, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "Everything is God's will. Haha, I think that the Black Dragon Demon King has been suffering for thousands of years, but in the end he is like this
The result, that’s all…”
Xu Lei, the instigator, stood aside and didn't know what was going on. Looking at Xu Lei's innocent look, the old man slowly told him the whole story.
It turns out that this old man is a rare black dragon nine-star monster. Thousands of years ago, he had broken through the nine-star transformation and transformed into a human form. At that time, he was ambitious and committed mischief everywhere in an attempt to dominate the world. However, he was tricked by several elders from the All Souls Holy Sect.
The monster's cunning plan sealed him here, and the moment he was sealed here again, he was afraid that all the power of his fighting soul would be removed by the seal in the future, so he used all his strength to release all the power of his fighting soul and condensed it into a seed.
After thousands of years, he finally got such a rare opportunity. He thought it was God giving him an opportunity, but he didn't expect that it was just a joke played by God.
He had to eat all three Demon King Fruits in order to regain his previous energy. Even if he couldn't eat three, he could barely fight after eating two. But with only one left, there was no chance.
One-third of his strength cannot break through the remaining half of the seal's strength.
"Is there any point in saying I'm sorry now?" Xu Lei felt very guilty after hearing this.
"What do you think?" The old man's words no longer contained anger, his hope had been shattered, and there was no point in being angry again.
"How about you eat the remaining one, how much can you recover?" Xu Lei shook the remaining Demon King Fruit in his hand.
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. "That's all. I've been trapped here for thousands of years. The belief that has always supported me is that there is still a glimmer of hope. Now that hope is gone, I don't have to continue to endure it. These three Demon Emperors
If you consider it a gift from me, at least as I said just now, you and I are destined to be together, and you are the one I have talked to the most in these thousands of years."
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "If I eat this fruit, does that mean that I can have the same fighting spirit power as you did before?"
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How can there be such a good thing in the world? Young man, although you are talented, I want to solemnly tell you a truth. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Anything obtained for nothing is not a good thing. This truth
Although it is a cliché, everyone understands it, but only a few people can do it, and many people forget this truth as soon as they encounter temptation."
Xu Lei nodded seriously, "I will remember it."
The old man smiled with satisfaction, "This time you finally played your cards according to common sense. Let me tell you the truth, I didn't have any good intentions at the beginning. I have been designing to induce you. Once I eat those three Demon King Fruits, I will regain my strength.
, the first thing I will do is beat you to ashes, how can I fulfill your three wishes?"
The old man paused, "But your performance surprised me. You have an extremely rare quality, that is, you are not greedy, and you can remain calm when encountering things. This is very rare. I hope you will continue to maintain it in the future, because you have these qualities."
Very good quality, so you get the rewards you deserve."
"Repay?" Xu Lei asked doubtfully.
The old man nodded, his eyes no longer violent and cunning. At this time, he was as calm as water, like an ordinary kind old man, and said: "Even if you eat these three fruits, you will not have all my fighting spirit power."
, but it is enough to cause a huge mutation in the fighting spirit in your body, which at least gives you the hope of cultivating the same strength as I did before."
"Mutation?" Xu Lei's face was even more confused, but mixed with a little joy, "You mean, my sword soul will probably become another weapon?"
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "The so-called mutation means that the spirit changes, not the form."
Xu Lei still didn't understand, and the old man was not in a hurry, and continued: "There is no good or bad distinction between fighting souls themselves. Take the sword soul that you look down on now as an example. Thousands of years ago, there were several famous people on this continent.
All the strong men are sword souls. There are no useless fighting souls in this world, only useless people. If you don’t strive for progress and are lazy, even if you have an excellent fighting spirit, you will only be a mediocre person."
When Xu Lei heard this, he was enlightened. Although he had never given up practicing, he still looked down on his own sword spirit and often envied those who had other excellent fighting spirits. The old man's words were like a slap in the face to him.
"Master, thank you." Xu Lei took two steps forward, suddenly knelt down on his knees, and respectfully kowtowed three times in front of the old man. This was the first time for him, who had been wandering on the streets since he could remember, that someone was so sincere.
Tell him these truths. For a person who has been treated with contempt and indifference since childhood, even a trace of sincerity is a great gratitude.
"What did you call me?" The old man looked excited.
"The words you just said awakened me. I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have been wandering and begging on the streets for as long as I can remember. I have suffered a lot of indifference and supercilious looks. No one has ever said these things to me, and no one has ever said these things to me sincerely.
You are the first person to treat me like this. Regardless of whether you are willing or not, I must call you master today." Xu Lei looked up at the old man and said respectfully.
"Do you know that I have no power now and can't help you? These three Demon King Fruits have been picked off. My body can no longer resist the power of the seal. In less than an hour, I will be wiped out.
." The old man has lived for nearly 10,000 years plus the thousands of years he has been sealed. Although he had a prominent position outside, he also knew that those who respected him either wanted something from him or were afraid of him. There was never a single person.
He would treat him sincerely, but now that someone suddenly called him master, the softest area in his heart seemed to be touched.
"You taught me the truth and let me use it. You are my master. No matter you have extraordinary abilities or are about to disappear, you are my master." Xu Lei said from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay! Okay!" The old man looked excited, "Disciple, please get up quickly!"
Xu Lei stood up and handed the remaining Demon King Fruit to the old man's mouth, "Master, eat it. Regardless of whether you can regain your strength, I will give it to you to quench your thirst."
The old man shook his head, "I now order you in the name of Master to eat this Demon King Fruit immediately."
"But……"
"Don't you even listen to Master's words?"
Xu Lei was stunned, "I don't dare." Then he drank the remaining Demon King Fruit in his hand, and another warm current spread through every cell in his body.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, "I still have less than half an hour to live. In half an hour, I will be wiped out. Now don't say anything and do as I say."
The old man said solemnly: "Sit down cross-legged, gather your energy, guide the fighting spirit power in your body, and try to condense the fighting spirit."
Xu Lei did as he was told, sat cross-legged, concentrated, and once again drew out all the fighting spirit power from every cell in his body and guided it to the Dantian. After taking three Demon King Fruits, the concentration of fighting spirit power was significantly higher.
Xu Lei was surprised to find that his fighting spirit power changed from milky white to pure black, but he didn't think much about it. He followed the previous routine and directed the smiling but full black fighting spirit power to his dantian, condensing it into
The cyclone then begins to guide its slow rotation.
"Attention, the direction of the aerodynamic rotation is reversed!" the old man reminded.
Xu Lei was shocked. It is a taboo in cultivation to condense the power of the fighting spirit and reverse the cyclone. If you accidentally fail to condense the fighting spirit, you are still lucky. Otherwise, you will explode and die. However, you still grit your teeth and listen to the old man's words to guide the fighting spirit.
The cyclone tried to reverse course.
"Gather all your energy and maximize the Qi rotation speed!" The old man reminded loudly.
Xu Lei gritted his teeth, gathered all his energy according to the old man's instructions, and guided the black cyclone in his body to quickly reverse. He suddenly felt that the veins and every cell in his body began to expand rapidly, as if they were about to explode.
"Don't stop. Grit your teeth and push through. If you stop, you will be in trouble!" The old man's tone became nervous.
