"Hehe, Baozi suddenly had an idea!" Of course, Baozi didn't know what Shi Tou was thinking. But based on its understanding of Shi Tou, all of Shi Tou's friends were probably just like her, and it didn't want to be a research subject for her: "Baozi knows why this person can't advance to a nine-star Dou Qi Master!"
Stone glared at her without hesitation. How could she have forgotten that this rascal also had the ability to talk nonsense? Clearly, it had been hiding something from her before. Now that it saw Luo Pipi was about to examine it, it had no choice but to speak up.
"Luo Pipi, I can lend it to you right now so you can study it properly!"
"Gah! No! Baozi will tell you everything, Baozi will tell you everything to its master!" Baozi's whole body was filled with horror, its pleats were wide open, and the soup and meat filling inside could be clearly seen.
"This is your last chance. You know what I mean."
Baozi gasped, then instantly understood: "Hehe, the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique that Baozi gave to Master is definitely real! However, the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique has a very important characteristic, which is that you must rely on constant battles to comprehend its true essence!"
"You can be more specific."
"Hehe, that means you absolutely have to fight! The best way for an eight-star battle qi master to advance to a nine-star battle qi master is to fight with nine-star battle qi masters frequently! If there are no nine-star battle qi masters, then go and fight with people of similar strength!"
"So, the more you fight, the stronger you get? A Qi Master's advancement depends on sparring?"
"Hehe, that's right! That's what Kagaral said! Only by sparring with strong opponents can you become a true strongman!"
The statement that one can only become a true strongman by frequently sparring with strong opponents makes a lot of sense.
"Then what about mages? I haven't seen any mages fighting, or rather, sparring, often."
"Gah!" Baozi was startled and jumped into the air. "A magicians sparring? That's terrifying! The magicians will blow the whole city to smithereens!"
That makes sense...
"Then how do mages advance?" Now that the question has been asked, Stone finally understands why Yi Siyue has been stuck at the eight-star battle qi master level. However, she is now curious about how mages, who are even more ruthless than battle qi masters, advance.
"Gah? What do magicians use to advance in rank? Oh right, sleeping! Magicians advance in rank by sleeping!"
puff!
Stone couldn't hold back any longer. My dear Baozi, we're talking about a magician, not a pig, right?
"Hehe, really! At least you used to sleep all day and still level up! By the way, at your peak, you slept for two months straight!"
Puff puff puff!
Let's take back what we just said. This isn't a pig at all! This is clearly a pig god! Could it be that Irene is actually the reincarnation of the legendary Pigsy (Zhu Bajie)?
This is outrageous!
-----
The main text is over 3100 words. I was really upset about the pan-fried buns yesterday, so I have to vent!
A man actually invited Baozi to see a movie, the latest 3D version of Journey to the West.
You can watch it if you want, it's not that childish anyway, but why do you always ask Baozi with such concern: Are you scared? Are you afraid?
Holy crap! That's 3D Journey to the West! Not 3D Sadako!
Baozi just couldn't understand what was so scary about it! He couldn't even pretend to be scared!
What's wrong with men these days? Are women too fierce, or are men too effeminate?
This is a serious issue.
☆, Chapter 231 One punch knocks down Isamu Tsuki
"When...when did I sleep for so long?" Shi Tou glared at Bao Zi with endless resentment, her mouth full of blood. In her past life, she could only sleep in during holidays at most. She had never slept for a whole day, let alone two months!
"Giggle, really! And Master, you're so amazing! You can even sleep sitting up!" Baozi bounced around as she answered confidently, "Oh, and Master, sometimes you do sleep with your eyes open!"
Damn it!
"Sleeping while sitting? With your eyes open? Can't you just say you're resting while sitting?" Stone was really annoyed. What did this have to do with sleeping?
"Gaga, but Master, were you sleeping?" Baozi looked at the stone in confusion: "You said it yourself! Kagaral asked you, 'Would you like to go on a date with me?' You said, 'I was sleeping!'"
Good heavens! Please, just send down a bolt of lightning and roast this damned, heartless steamed bun alive!
"Shut up!"
Stone looked up in surprise: "Wow, you're alive?"
The one who yelled was none other than Yi Shiyue, who had been in a daze. After Shi Tou and Baozi had been messing around for so long, he finally came to his senses: "What you were saying just now was all true?"
"I don't think so. I don't believe I can sleep for two months straight! It must be Baozi making it up."
"I'm talking about the advancement of a nine-star Dou Qi master!!!"
Seeing the manic expression on Isamu's face, Ishi could only swallow hard and answer uncertainly, "Probably."
"I want to answer affirmatively!"
"Baozi, what do you think?"
Baozi looked at Shi Tou innocently, then turned to look at Yi Siyue: "Hehe. Which idiot in the Yi family are you descended from?"
This time it was Yi Siyue's turn to choke on his own blood. How was he supposed to answer that?!
"Baozi, right?" Isazuki stared intently at Baozi: "I am the current head of the Isazuki family!"
"Hehe, Baozi knows, right? The Yi family was almost wiped out, and you're the head of the family. All you have left is that stupid and idiotic sister, right?"
Yi Shiyue choked up again; Baozi's words were absolutely outrageous. But the problem was, everything he said was the truth!
Stone finally felt relieved. Hahaha, Baozi's sharp tongue has finally been used on someone else.
It feels so good!
"Baozi! I'm asking you questions, you just need to answer them!" Yi Siyue gritted her teeth, her expression towards Baozi extremely unfriendly.
Unfortunately, Baozi's audacity was extraordinary! To be precise, Baozi's audacity was simply off the charts! It even dared to defy its owner, Stone. If Stone hadn't later discovered its weakness, it would definitely have been the kind of pet that dared to ride on Stone's head!
"Giggle, Baozi is an honest and kind good Baozi. Baozi will definitely be a good boy and listen to me!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Siyue felt relieved.
Upon hearing this, Stone secretly rejoiced.
“Okay, I’m asking you, are you Irene’s pet? I mean Irene, not this person.” Yi Siyue looked at Baozi very seriously, and in case Baozi’s understanding was poor, she patiently explained: “Irene is the goddess of magic from six hundred years ago.”
"Giggle, yes, yes!" Baozi nodded happily. But at the same time, it was thinking to itself, "You're the stupid one! How dare you look down on my intelligence? You're asking for a beating!"
"So that means you witnessed an era when battle qi was at its peak?"
"Gaga, yes, yes!" Actually, to be precise, it should be that Baozi witnessed the decline of fighting spirit and the rise of magic.
Have you ever seen a nine-star Dou Qi master?
"Gaga, yes, yes!" Baozi continued to bounce around happily.
"Can you say something else?" Yi Siyue finally couldn't hold back anymore; actually, he had been quite patient. Anyone would go crazy if a big, white, chubby bun kept jumping and yelling in front of you while you were discussing such a serious matter.
"Gah? The descendants of the Yi family are all idiots! He was the one who told Baozi to answer, so why didn't Baozi say 'yes, yes' or 'no, no'?"
Yi Shiyue's face darkened, and she forced back her anger as she spoke: "Your answer must be more specific!"
"Hehe, alright, alright, you can keep asking, you silly descendant!"
Yi Siyue barely ignored the way Baozi addressed her and patiently continued to ask, "How many nine-star Dou Qi masters were there in Yilin's era?"
The steamed bun stood there for a moment, its pleats opening and closing repeatedly, but no sound came out.
"Say something!" After waiting for a long time without Baozi making a sound, Yi Siyue finally lost her temper.
Baozi shuddered, then roared at Yi Siyue in an even angrier tone, "Heh heh! You idiot, Baozi was just counting, wasn't he? You interrupted me! Where was Baozi counting to? Twenty-three... twenty-seven... Idiot, you're almost there!"
Yi Siyue remained silent for a long time before finally speaking softly, "In other words, six hundred years ago, there were many Earthly Nine-Star Battle Qi Masters."
"Hehe, that's nonsense! Not counting the others, the Yi family alone has more than a dozen, the Qi Master Guild has many, the Royal Qi Academy has many too! There are also senior members of the Mercenary Association, and senior field-shaking masters in the auction houses of the major cities! Oh right, Baozi remembers that the president of the Blacksmith Association is also a nine-star Qi Master!"
Yi Siyue remained silent with a dark face, but Baozi became more and more excited as he talked, and he almost recounted all the nine-star Dou Qi masters from back then.
Shi Tou looked at Yi Si Yue's face and exclaimed that something was wrong. He thought, "How could she be so ruthless as to make so many Qi Masters give up?"
"Hehe, Baozi, you should go back and play with the duck!"
Baozi looked at the stone with a puzzled expression, unable to accept the stone's sudden kindness: "Giggle? Master, are you alright? Did you eat something strange?"
My foot!
"Go back when I tell you to! Stop whining and I'll kill you!"
"Whoosh!" Without saying a word, Baozi disappeared into the tent.
Shi Tou breathed a sigh of relief. She should have been tougher on this bully who preyed on the weak long ago!
"Heh, so that means all those powerful figures couldn't defeat a magic god like you?" Yi Shiyue finally came to her senses, only to find that Baozi was gone. However, she didn't care, because she had already obtained the most important information.
"Um, I'm probably not that good, right?" Shi Tou looked at Yi Si Yue with a conflicted expression. "Actually, I've always thought of myself as a very gentle girl. I think you've misunderstood something."
“Gentle?” Yi Siyue raised an eyebrow, somewhat taken aback by Shi Tou’s shamelessness.
"Of course!" Stone patted his chest smugly. "I may not have many other strengths, but I have one major advantage: I'm gentle, kind, beautiful, and talented. I'm a typical virtuous wife and loving mother."
Yi Shiyue was finally speechless. At this moment, he began to wonder if he had really misunderstood something. You see, although Yilin was extremely cruel, there was never any ancient book that recorded her as a shameless person.
Irene's ruthlessness lies in her strength and methods, while Stone's ruthlessness lies in his heart and his words.
These two... actually do have something in common, right?
“I believe you have nothing to hide about the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique, but…” Yi Siyue stood up, preparing to leave the tent: “There are some things I think you should know. The reason your biological parents abandoned you in the Crimson Forest is because of your special identity.”
"What?!" Stone was genuinely shocked. Could it be that her identity had already been exposed?
"Princess Irene has a well-known characteristic: her body contains all the magical elements in the world. This was originally because she was a mage of all magic types, but later, the royal family used it as a means to test whether someone was Irene's reincarnation."
Shi Tou stared blankly at Yi Si Yue. Of all the things he had told her, this was the most shocking: "Why? Why would the royal family do this?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but for the past six hundred years, any child whose body contains multiple magical elements has been sent away at birth. And without exception, a substitute has been found to take their place."
Shi Tou opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Yi Si Yue said again, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the reason why His Highness the First Prince cannot become the heir is not because the King is not his biological father, but because he himself is a child used as a substitute."
"Huh? The eldest prince is a man?"
“But no one can say for sure whether Princess Irene’s reincarnation is male or female.” A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yi Siyue’s originally calm face: “It’s really funny to think that in order to find Irene’s reincarnation, the royal family actually disregarded their own blood ties and abandoned so many children. Tsk tsk.”
