Training Through The Game

On the boundless, treacherous and changeable Styx, a flat boat drifts with the waves.

Lu Yu stood at the bow of the boat, and the ferryman stood at the stern. He silently looked at the vast river. The ferryman swung the oars one after another. The boat under their feet moved slowly on the Styx River.

The water of the Styx River is not the water of Taiyin.

Lu Yu tried just now, using the eighth heaven's formula to refine the power of the Taiyin star to refine the Styx water, but it didn't work.

It shows that the water of the Styx River is not the water of the Taiyin that he is looking for, or in other words, the water here is not what he is looking for.

"Zhao Tianjue probably won't tell me the wrong news." Lu Yu thought about it, and a new idea came to his mind, "Did I find the wrong place?"

Plop, plop~ There was a sound of slapping the water not far away, and Lu Yu turned his head to look, and saw a gray soul struggling in the Styx.

The ferryman rowed the boat and approached the struggling soul. Seeing the boat approaching, the struggling soul swam desperately towards this side.

After swimming for a while, I saw clearly the ferryman wearing a black coir raincoat standing at the stern of the boat. The soul body hurriedly turned around and swam far away, trying to stay away from the ferryman's boat.

But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't stay away from the boat.

The ferryman rowed the boat unhurriedly, caught up with the struggling soul, raised the oar in his hand, and smashed it down with a blow.

In an instant, the soul body lost all its strength and sank slowly.

The ferryman grabbed it from the air, and the soul turned into a ray of light and flew into his palm. He patted the light cluster in his palm into the lantern hanging at the stern of the boat, and the lantern lit a faint light.

Lu Yu looked at the lantern curiously, and he could still see a miniature version of the soul body, floating feebly inside the lantern.

"Do you know the water of Taiyin?" Lu Yu looked up at the ferryman.

The ferryman shook his head and said, "I don't know. This is the first time I've heard of the water of Taiyin. Did you come to Styx just for the water of Taiyin?"

Lu Yu nodded, "Yes."

The ferryman stopped talking, and wandered on the Styx in a small boat. When he saw the soul struggling in the water, he went to catch it into the lantern.

Sometimes you will also see souls wandering aimlessly on the water, or souls that have lost their intelligence, which are also one of the targets of the ferrymen.

After Lu Yu's observation, he found that those souls struggling in the water seemed to be villains who had done a lot of evil in their lifetime. He struggled to get rid of the invisible sins in the Styx.

As long as they successfully get rid of their sins, these soul bodies can also enter the Netherworld and become a normal life of the dead.

But there is often no one in a hundred. So far, Lu Yu has only seen one soul body break free from sin, successfully walk to the river, and then disappear on the Styx in front of him and the ferryman.

After asking the ferryman, Lu Yu knew that what they were trying to get rid of was sin.

There are more or less sins, as long as there are dead creatures, it is just that some people have more sins and it is difficult to break free, while some people have less sins and are easier to break free.

Those soul bodies wandering on the river surface are dead spirits who have died too many times and lost their wisdom.

They can't leave the Styx River, they can only wander on the Styx River, and when they are discovered by the ferryman, they will be sent to reincarnation.

It is impossible to fly on the Styx River, so Lu Yu can only stay on the ferryman's boat. He once tried to dive into the bottom of the Styx River, but just sitting on the boat and touching the Styx River water with his fingers, he felt that the vitality in his body was rapidly weakening.

If he dared to sneak into the river Styx, he would surely die.

Instead, he found that his blackened right hand bone was not affected by the water of the River Styx.

The ferryman looked at Lu Yu's raised right hand, the movement of his hand froze slightly, and his eyes showed a look of thought.

Lu Yu shook off the Styx water in his right hand, and the dead flesh and blood quickly peeled off, and blood streaks spread up the black hand bones, restoring the corroded flesh and blood in his right hand.

The newly grown flesh and blood exudes a faint golden glow. If you look closely, you can see the densely packed spirit patterns lingering on the surface of the cells that make up the new flesh and blood.

Lu Yu was not yet immortal, and he was able to restore the flesh and blood in his right hand corroded by the Styx water, all by consuming a large amount of his own spiritual energy to actively promote cell division.

It will take a long time for his right hand to return to normal.

Lu Yu also didn't realize that the black hand bone exposed on his right hand caught the ferryman's attention, and the ferryman didn't speak, his expression was hidden in the darkness of the coir raincoat, making it elusive.

Huhuhu~ A strong wind blew up on the Styx River. The ferryman put down his oars, lifted the lantern hanging at the stern, and walked towards the bow.

Seeing the ferryman approaching, Lu Yu made way for him.

The boat didn't know what it was made of, and the two of them stood on the bow without any tendency to capsize, as usual.

Watching the ferryman raise the lantern in the wind, Lu Yu carefully observed the movement around him.

The wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger, and even the small boat couldn't stay still, and it bumped up and down with the waves.

Standing on the boat, Lu Yu felt that his soul was about to be blown out of his body by the wind.

The ferryman opened the lantern, and the soul inside couldn't wait to rush out of the lantern, fell into the strong wind, and was taken away by the raging wind.

He turned the lantern over and poured the remaining soulless souls inside into the wind, and all the souls were taken away by the wind.

The extinguished lantern was hung on his waist, and the ferryman stood at the bow of the boat with open arms, embracing the blowing of the ghostly wind.

The ghost wind that can blow away the soul, after passing through the coir raincoat on his body, its power is greatly reduced, and when it passes through his body again, it takes the magazines in his soul body out of the body, leaving only the purest soul power.

The dark wind blew for a long time, and all the souls on the river were taken away by the wind. Lu Yu lay in the middle of the boat, and with the help of the hulls on both sides, he managed to stabilize the soul in his body from being blown away by the dark wind.

The soul bodies that are blown away will be brought to reincarnation by the underworld wind, which is why, even though more and more dead choose to stay in the Netherworld, the reincarnation of each world can still proceed normally.

In fact, the undead living in the nether world are only a very small number of the countless dead after all.

Otherwise, Lu Yu would not see a boundless desolate and foggy land.

The high wall doesn't really separate the Netherworld, it just encloses the area where the normal undead live, but the enclosed area is too large.

So much so that all the undead think that the black wall separates the Netherworld, blocking all the treacherous dangers in the misty land on the other side.

The wind stopped, and the ferryman also hung the lantern to the stern and picked up the oars again. He looked a little excited and a little tired now.

"Phew~ I'll take you to a place, maybe you can find what you want there." The ferryman took a breath and said.

Lu Yu got up, his head was still a little foggy, he felt like he had a concussion, and he couldn't hear the ferryman's words clearly.

The ferryman didn't wait for Lu Yu's answer, he shook the oars vigorously and pushed the boat forward on the Styx River.

After a long time, Lu Yu returned to normal. Looking at the fast boat, he asked strangely, "Where are you going?"

"You will know when you arrive," said the ferryman.

After walking for an unknown distance, an island appeared in front of Lu Yu, an island floating on the Styx River.

The boat sailed into the island's port, but before the ferryman stopped the boat, a figure appeared beside the boat, it was a pure black skeleton, it was the first time Lu Yu saw a living creature with a body in the nether world.

"Get out of here." The black skull said indifferently.

The ferryman put down his oars and said, "I have brought you a 'man' who will surprise you."

Hearing the words, the black skull turned to look at Lu Yu, and saw his right hand that had not fully recovered at first glance.

At that moment, Lu Yu seemed to feel that there was light shining in its empty eye sockets.
