Feeling the terrifying power within his body, Shen Hanyu slowly let out a breath of relief. The change in his state of mind made everything suddenly become clear to him. From now on, until he reached the realm of Hyper Douluo, he likely wouldn't encounter any more barriers.
The rewards he had gained over the past six months were undoubtedly a huge profit, and Shen Hanyu couldn't help but feel joyful about it.
With a thought from his spirit power, Shen Hanyu noticed the few women downstairs who seemed somewhat restless.
His figure blurred, and in an instant, Shen Hanyu vanished from the room, appearing in front of everyone.
At that moment, Shui Ningbing was sitting cross-legged on the floor, the aura around her clearly indicating that she was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Seeing Shen Hanyu's figure, Shen Liuyu exclaimed in surprise,
"Brother~"
Shen Hanyu smiled and responded, then looked at Shui Ningbing, who was casually sitting on the ground, and softly asked,
"What's going on with Aunt Shui?"
"I know, I know! Just now, when Brother Yu broke through, Little Aunt seemed to have been affected as well. She's about to break through to level 87…"
Shui Yue'er answered with a giggling smile.
Shen Hanyu nodded. Shui Ningbing's talent wasn't poor; she simply lacked sufficient cultivation time, and due to the many complicated affairs at the academy, her state of mind also had quite a few flaws.
As long as she was given enough time, even if she couldn't easily break through to Titled Douluo, she should at least achieve something within the next twenty-five years. That would be considered a normal age for breaking through to Titled Douluo in this era.
"Brother, what happened to your eyes?"
Shen Liuyu curiously leaned in closer, her small hand directly pinching the corner of Shen Hanyu's eye.
Shen Hanyu gently swatted Shen Liuyu's hand away and said,
"I broke through. Some changes are normal, right?"
Shen Liuyu pouted, somewhat dissatisfied as she said,
"Breaking through is breaking through. Why are you being so fierce? Don't tell me you actually broke through to Titled Douluo. Hmph…"
Shen Hanyu looked at Shen Liuyu with a strange expression, really wanting to say, I did indeed break through to Titled Douluo.
Seeing the odd look in Shen Hanyu's eyes, Shen Liuyu inexplicably felt a shiver and subconsciously asked,
"Y-you… you wouldn't really have broken through to Titled Douluo, would you?"
Shen Hanyu nodded seriously and said,
"Otherwise, what level of breakthrough did you think would make me seclude myself for so long?"
Shen Liuyu was stunned, then viciously pinched Shui Bing'er's arm beside her.
Shui Bing'er's expression changed, and she quickly slapped Shen Liuyu's hand away, saying,
"Shen Liuyu! What are you doing!"
Shen Liuyu ignored Shui Bing'er and murmured to herself,
"It's not a dream. Bing'er really felt pain, so that means…"
"No way, Brother! You really broke through to Titled Douluo!?"
Shen Liuyu finally reacted and asked excitedly.
Shen Hanyu nodded once more.
"No, no, you have to swear! If you're lying to me, may you suffer from kidney deficiency for the rest of your life and never find a girlfriend as beautiful as Bing'er!"
Shen Liuyu looked at Shen Hanyu seriously, as if she wanted to confirm something that would affect her entire life.
Shen Hanyu speechlessly patted Shen Liuyu's little head. It had been a while since he last did that, and only now did he realize that this little girl had grown so tall.
"I'm your real brother. If you don't even believe me, who are you going to believe?"
Shen Liuyu tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed to make sense.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er nervously pressed their lips together, looking at Shen Hanyu in disbelief.
However, they had long grown accustomed to being shocked by Shen Hanyu's genius. They had mentally prepared themselves for this day a long time ago, but when it actually arrived, they still couldn't help feeling stunned.
After being dazed for a moment, Shen Liuyu said somewhat blankly,
"So that means… from now on, I, Shen Liuyu, am the younger sister of a Titled Douluo?"
No one answered Shen Liuyu's question, yet it felt as though the answer was coming from everywhere.
"Then does that mean starting today, I can slack off whenever I want, level up while lying down whenever I want, and walk sideways across the continent whenever I want?"
Shen Liuyu asked dumbly. The usual cunning and cleverness had momentarily vanished, replaced by an adorably foolish expression.
Shen Hanyu supported his forehead with his hand, but he could barely understand it.
This was equivalent to waking up one day and discovering that your parents had won a billion in the lottery, that you were their sole heir, and that they told you you could now slack off and enjoy life to your heart's content. In that moment, anyone would be overwhelmed by endless joy. Those who could remain rational were truly exceptional.
Shui Bing'er pulled at Shen Liuyu, who still wanted to keep asking questions, and reached out to firmly smack her on the behind.
Shen Liuyu let out a yelp, then clutched her bottom and said in confusion,
"What's going on?"
The three others simultaneously supported their foreheads with their hands. This one was beyond saving…
…
A moment later,
Shen Liuyu was squatting in a corner with a flushed face, drawing circles on the ground.
Shen Hanyu calmly sipped his tea while casually saying,
"For the time being, I won't be leaving Element City. Later, when I go to obtain my ninth soul ring, I might take you all along for a trip. After all, if you want to go higher and farther, experience and comprehension are very important. It's also time for you to come into contact with some higher-level things."
As soon as he said this, Shen Liuyu's hand, which had been drawing circles, paused. She turned her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she asked,
"Brother, where exactly are we going?"
Shen Hanyu smiled and shook his head, pointing his finger toward the north as he said,
"The core area of the Extreme North."
Shen Liuyu's expression instantly froze, and even the Shui Bing'er sisters couldn't help but be stunned.
"Alright, seeing you all like this, anyone would think I'm taking you to a dragon's pool or a tiger's den."
Shui Bing'er looked at the completely serious Shen Hanyu and faintly said,
"Compared to the core area of the Extreme North, we'd actually prefer if you took us to a dragon's pool or tiger's den…"
Shen Liuyu and Shui Yue'er quickly nodded in agreement.
As residents of a major city near the Extreme North, the Shui sisters were naturally aware of how terrifying the Extreme North was. Even the outermost regions could harbor powerful spirit beasts, let alone the core area that almost no one had ever visited. No one knew what exactly existed there.
Shen Hanyu smiled and said,
"Your starting point is honestly far superior to the spirit masters of the same period in this era. However, if you want to reach even higher levels, you must experience and go through it personally. I can tell you this: Titled Douluo is not the limit for humans, one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts are not the limit for spirit beasts, and to put it bluntly, this is merely the true starting point of another journey."
Shen Hanyu's words caused the three women to fall silent for a moment, seemingly pondering the feasibility of such a thing.
Shen Hanyu let out a soft sigh. The decision he had made carried no small amount of danger, but if he didn't let Shen Liuyu and the others experience these things, they would likely spend their entire lives confined within the current existing knowledge. That was something Shen Hanyu did not want to see.
Moreover, with his current strength, even if he couldn't guarantee they could come and go freely, he could at least ensure their safety.
When Huo Yuhao's strength was only that of a Great Spirit Master, he had dared to follow Tian Meng into the depths of the Extreme North to persuade the Ice Emperor. Not only did Shen Hanyu have Tian Meng's assistance, but his own strength was far greater. There was no reason for him to fear these things.
