Lord of Nine Stars

The next morning, Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei walked out of the school gate with Yang Chunxi and Xia Fangran, and walked towards Songbai Town with their classmates' blessings.

Two teachers opened the way in front, and behind, Rong Taotao was carrying a schoolbag, which contained not only candies but also two scarves made of snow lion and tiger mane.

This is also thanks to his sister-in-law. After the two returned to school from Qianshan Pass, Rong Taotao approached Yang Chunxi with the fur of the snow liger.

When Yang Chunxi heard that Rong Taotao was going to give Gao Lingwei's parents a gift, of course he strongly supported it, and quickly made two scarves. The specially treated snow liger hair was very soft and snow-white.

Rong Taotao believes that Gao Lingwei's parents will like it very much.

At this moment, Rong Taotao was sitting on Hu Bugui's back and behind Gao Lingwei. He leaned forward, his face pressed against Gao Lingwei's back, and he closed his mind to rest, imagining the scene of meeting her parents.

As Hu Bugui galloped, Gao Lingwei's body was bumping up and down. She tried her best to maintain her balance and give Rong Taotao a better environment to rely on: "Is it better?"

Rong Taotao was dreaming and didn't even open his eyes: "What?"

Gao Lingwei: "You vomited for a long time last night, and you could hear it in our dormitory."

Rong Taotao said casually: "Ah, it's okay, just open the soul tank."

It is worth mentioning that Rong Taotao's inner soul map panel has changed!

Late last night, when Rong Taotao successfully opened the soul tank and advanced to the peak of the soul warrior, he deliberately opened the inner soul map, but he saw a surprising scene!

"Soul Power: Soul Warrior·Peak (Potential Value: 7 Stars)!"

Rong Taotao's potential has actually increased from 6 stars before to 7 stars now!

Once, Rong Taotao's body was a little fragile and could not support the opening of the seventh soul tank. In the past year and a half, Rong Taotao laid a very solid foundation, which led to today's results.

What is surprising is that the natal soul beast, Yunyun Dog, increases as Rong Taotao's potential value increases!

"The natal soul beast: Baiyuncang Dog (excellent level, potential value: 7 stars)!"

Not only that, as the potential value of Yunyun Dog's strength increases, its soul skills are ever-changing, and the potential value also increases!

"Soul Pearl Soul Skill: Ever-changing (excellent level, potential value: 7 stars)!"

In one fell swoop, although Rong Taotao vomited for half the night yesterday, he thought it was worth it!

If he could get so much benefit from vomiting once, Rong Taotao would be willing to vomit every day!

anyway

Rong Taotao is a man with potential! He can increase the upper limit of potential value!

does this mean

If Rong Taotao throws potential points into the "Soul Power" column and increases the potential value from 7 stars to 8 stars, will a new soul slot be opened immediately?

Darling, this is amazing!

At least in the soul power column, the potential value is linked to the number of soul slots. Increasing the potential means increasing the number of soul slots!

Rong Taotao endured it again and again, but still did not throw in the potential value. After all, it is difficult to obtain the potential value, and Rong Taotao is only at the peak of the soul warrior. Even at the soul captain stage, he can only use 6 soul slots at most. , the new soul slot is currently of no use and cannot be used.

As we all know, 1 soul slot can be used in the soul death stage, 2 soul slots can be used in the soul warrior stage, 3 soul slots can be used in the soul captain stage, and so on.

This also means that only when Rong Taotao is promoted to the soul school rank can he use the soul slot opened after the seventh one.

"Well, it's a pity that it was the knee." Gao Lingwei sighed softly.

The knee soul slots are the same as the elbow soul slots. They are considered to be the lowest level existence. They are not even as good as the soul slots at the shoulders.

First of all, there are fewer types of soul skills to choose from for the soul beads at the knees and elbows. Secondly, Gao Lingwei has never heard that the soul beads in these two locations have more powerful soul skills.

In comparison, it is better to open the soul slots on the wrists and ankles. Not only are there a wide variety of soul skills, but their effects are also extremely powerful.

Snow Blast, Snow Fury, Snow Ghost Hand, Snow Sharp Blade, etc., are all wrist soul slots.

Whether it is for humans or soul beasts, the use of hands and feet is far more than elbows and knees.

"Okay, it's pretty good." Xia Fangran's voice came from the front, "How many people do you know who only have 2 or 3 initial soul slots, but they can't train to the soul captain stage, and the peak soul warriors don't give low qualifications People open soul slots, so they can only have 2 or 3 soul slots in their lifetime?"

"Haha." On the side, Yang Chunxi said with a smile, "Seven soul slots are already a lot. If we continue at this growth rate, when Taotao reaches the peak of Soul Captain, he will definitely be able to open another soul slot."

"Nice legs." Xia Fangran muttered, "Eight soul slots! You are indeed qualified to touch the soul general threshold. It depends on whether you can practice up to it in the future."

Yang Chunxi was very optimistic and said: "Taotao's talent and hard work are not bad, his IQ is sufficient, and he has a close relationship with his natal soul beast Baiyun Canggu. The situation is ideal."

Listening to the chat between the two teachers, Rong Taotao rubbed his face against Gao Lingwei's back, closed his eyes comfortably, and continued to dream while practicing the soul method.

Soul general?

It sounds so tempting~

Tsk, tsk, this dream is so sweet, let me dream a little longer

Gao Lingwei: "Put your hat on."

Rong Taotao: "Huh?"

"Wear a hat on the back of your down jacket so you don't catch cold."

"oh."

The four teachers and students arrived at Songbai Town at noon and saw a bustling and lively scene.

Although it is not the New Year's Day at this time, Songbai Town is the largest town in the northern snow realm, even a hub town, and there are many people living here.

Under the leadership of Gao Lingwei, a group of people came to the north of the town, near Hunwu High School.

Returning to this old residential building community again, Rong Taotao's heart was filled with emotion.

The scene of celebrating the New Year last year is still fresh in my memory. When I come back after this national competition, it will be almost the New Year again.

Rong Taotao bought a few bottles of Beidahuang in the store downstairs. He didn't think anything of it at first, but when he asked about the price, Rong Taotao was dumbfounded. It was so cheap! ?

Even if Songbai Town receives state subsidies for all aspects, your 3 yuan bottle of liquor is a bit too much, right?

"Dawei."

"Um?"

Rong Taotao was a little embarrassed. He stood in front of the cashier, holding the liquor and looking left and right: "A bit, um, a bit."

Gao Lingwei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Too cheap?"

Rong Taotao: "No, can this quality be guaranteed?"

Saying this, Rong Taotao secretly complained in his heart: I think you, this woman, are just trying to get in the way and ruin our marriage!

It's my first time visiting, no matter how nice your dad is, I still have to get something decent, right?

Yang Chunxi: "I'll pick out some fruits. Taotao, you can pick up two more boxes of milk."

"Yes, yes." Rong Taotao nodded repeatedly, dropped the liquor and went to move the milk.

A few minutes later, everyone carried large and small packages, walked into the old unit door, and climbed to the top floor.

"Dong dong dong." Gao Lingwei knocked on the door. Although she had the key in her pocket, she insisted on knocking.

"Coming, coming." A slightly excited middle-aged female voice came from behind the door. Gao Lingwei's mother had not even slept well all night after receiving the news that her daughter was coming back.

She has not seen her precious daughter for more than a year. As an ordinary person, she has experienced several accidents in Liaolian, which makes her even more worried about Gao Lingwei. After all, her mother knows in her heart that those people are going for Gao Lingwei. .

She has experienced so much in Liaolian, how much has her precious daughter experienced?

"Crack!"

The door opened, and a wave of heat hit my face.

In Rong Taotao's sight, he saw a middle-aged woman with a slightly excited expression: "Xiaowei is back, is back."

Her long hair was pulled up into a bun, and she was tall and thin. Although her complexion was a little rosy due to excitement, she could still faintly look haggard.

This is Gao Lingwei's mother, Cheng Yuan.

It is said that she used to run a seafood business in Liao Lian's family. Later, she accompanied Gao Lingwei to Songbai Town to study with her, and she stopped doing business at home.

While talking, her mother Cheng Yuan stepped forward, holding Gao Lingwei's arm with both hands, and looked at Gao Lingwei's face carefully, as if she wanted to see a flower.

"Mom." Gao Lingwei nodded with a smile and shook the bags in her hands.

"Put it down quickly, put it down."

Rong Taotao looked at the somewhat helpless woman curiously, and saw a man behind her who was wearing a cane and had a gentle smile.

He is tall, with a flat head and half black and half white hair. He is slightly stooped due to the use of a cane, but he is in good spirits and has a smile on his face, looking very kind.

Gao Lingwei’s father, Gao Qingchen.

Gao Lingwei’s mother, Cheng Yuan.

Rong Taotao secretly said in his heart: If nothing else happens, these are my future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Hello, Teacher Xia, Teacher Yang." Cheng Yuan said, taking two steps back and letting the door open, but her eyes fell on Rong Taotao.

Emmm

Rong Taotao only felt a numbness in his scalp and could only bite the bullet and walk inside.

Is this the scrutiny from your mother-in-law?

Hmm. It is indeed a bit lethal.

Speaking of which, it is said that the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him?

Gao Qingchen moved his crutches and said with a smile: "I'd like to trouble Jiao Xia and Jiao Yang to take care of our little girl."

"No trouble, Ling Wei is very good and hardworking. We are lucky to have such an apprentice." Yang Chunxi responded politely.

"Mom." Gao Lingwei squeezed her mother's palm and gave her a slightly dissatisfied look.

"Oh." Cheng Yuan then retracted her gaze and greeted everyone with a smile, "Come in and sit down, come in and sit down."

Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei brought things into the kitchen. He was very familiar with the terrain of this house.

When he came to the living room, he happened to see Cheng Yuan pouring tea for everyone, but Rong Taotao's eyes fell on Gao's father's empty sleeves.

Gao Lingwei's father not only broke his left calf, but also his right forearm. It's hard to imagine what he went through.

Gao Qingchen was only injured, but he was still a soul warrior and his senses were very sharp. While chatting with Xia Fangran, he felt Rong Taotao's gaze and raised his eyes to look at Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao nodded awkwardly: "Hello, Uncle Gao."

Gao Qingchen said with a smile: "Come, sit down, Rong Taotao."

Rong Taotao was surprised since he entered the door.

Gao Qingchen is a veteran and an officer of the Snow-Ranging Army's special forces.

Rong Taotao originally thought that he would be a very serious, even majestic type, but this amiable look made Rong Taotao feel a lot more at ease.

After serving in the army all his life, he lost his arms and legs. Such a situation would probably be a very painful blow to anyone, but now it seems that Gao's father is in good spirits and does not look depressed at all. , on the contrary, he is very talkative, very kind, and seems to have a good personality?

"The place is small, so squeeze in." Cheng Yuan looked at Rong Taotao with a smile and pointed to Xia Fangran's side.

"No, we can just sit on the floor." Gao Lingwei said, came to the coffee table, took the teapot from her mother's hand, poured tea for everyone, and sat on the floor with Rong Taotao.

Just as she sat down, Gao Lingwei glanced at her mother with an angry look: "Mom!"

How can you always stare at others? It's Rong Taotao's first time here. Even if you want to take a closer look, why don't you hide it and restrain yourself?

"Haha." Cheng Yuan stood up and walked to the kitchen, "You guys talk, there is fish stewed in the kitchen, I'll go take a look. By the way, I heard that Xiao Rong has a big appetite?"

"Ah." Rong Taotao scratched his head, extremely honest, "It is indeed not small."

"If you can eat well, it's time to grow taller. Let's try Aunt Cheng's cooking later." Cheng Yuan said with a smile and opened the kitchen door.

Rong Taotao blinked, oh? not bad?

The people are nice, the atmosphere is good, no big problem?

"Have I seen you somewhere?" Xia Fangran looked at Gao Qingchen's face and asked curiously.

Gao Qingchen smiled and said, "I must have met before. Before I retired from the army, I had been performing tasks inside and outside the Three Walls. Xia Jiao has been coaching for more than 20 years. We may have met before."

"Yeah." Xia Fangran frowned, looking like he was thinking hard, and lost his voice.

Gao Qingchen turned to look at Rong Taotao and said, "I watched your game in the Guanwai League. I watched every game many times. It's amazing."

"Uh." Rong Taotao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I have also heard many of your stories, whether inside or outside the school." Gao Qingchen's eyes were filled with admiration and his eyes were sincere. "Many people cannot do this if they can maintain their faith and move forward firmly despite doubts. a little.

Some people will be crushed by such pressure, and some may not be able to prove themselves throughout their lives. You're doing great, you're excellent. "

Rong Taotao was just about to say something polite, but he noticed that Gao Lingwei beside him had a complex expression and seemed hesitant to speak.

what happened?

what happened

Rong Taotao's heart moved. Gao Qingchen was an officer of the Qingshan Squadron. He had been trying to explore the snow vortex all his life, but he was unable to complete this task even after breaking his arms and legs and retiring.

Perhaps, all the soldiers of the Qingshan Army have been under pressure and questioned for so many years.

Not everyone is so lucky.

Rong Taotao's persistence brought flowers and flowers, and a 180-degree change in the direction of public opinion, from abuse and questioning to appreciation, encouragement and support.

And Qingshan Army

They have nothing left.

Even the entire team was broken up and the so-called mission was put on hold indefinitely.

Rongyang said that the designation of Qingshan Army has not been cancelled.

Because among the active soldiers, there are still Qingshan Army alive, and they still have an unfinished mission in their hearts.

And will this mission be restarted one day?

Or will it be completely sealed with the departure of the last active soldier of the Qingshan Army?
