  In her mind, her Little Xi was always the common young boy who only wanted to enjoy a peaceful life.

  Even though she had forced him to enter the "higher society", he didn't change at all.

  However, what was this sense of danger just now?

  Little Xi was right beside her and there was nothing special happening, but her suspicion was still lingering.

  Checking, checking, checking again! Where is the enemy?

  I own the strongest Sky Flying Bloodline! I can crush any rival!

  I'm the girl who knows Little Xi the best, he should spend his life together with me!

  In the past, in the present, into the future, nothing can separate us!

  "Mei, what are you looking at?" Holding Yun Xi's hands, Hua Huo asked him straightly. This was her privilege as his childhood sweetheart.

  "Mumu, look, she is the girl sitting beside the White Lotus witch. Isn't she cute?" Yun Xi answered honestly, pointing at the silver-haired girl who was waving her hands towards them on the stage.

  He wasn't lying, because this was what he was thinking. Therefore, although Hua Huo felt uneasy, she couldn't find anything suspicious.

  The little girl beside White Lotus was indeed very cute. Everyone would like her at first sight.

  "Hum? It looks like she isn't a human." Looking at the broken fetter on her hands and legs, Hua Huo recognized that they were called "Lock Dragon Ring". They were used to seal dragons who were sentenced. She could still move after putting on the fetter? She couldn't be simple!

  However, the Lock Dragon Rings were also useful tools to dragons. If a dragon got used to the fetter, the dragon could break out terrible battle power after unlocking them.

  "Yes, but she is still a poor girl who is trying to find her father." Yun Xi stared at Mumu softly.

  "Mei, you'd better come clean. Do you like the little girl?" Finally, Hua Huo understood where her sense of danger was from.

  Oh, I was careless! Although she is still a child... she is still a girl!

  Even if she will only become my enemy after ten years, she is still my enemy!

  "Hum? Oh, yes, she is like a little sister to me." Yun Xi hadn't realized what Hua Huo was thinking.

  "Mei, you want a sister?" Hua Huo's eyes became dangerous. A "Sister" is always the biggest enemy of a "childhood sweetheart"!

  Fortunately, Yun Xi had no sister. Otherwise, she would have faced a great crisis!

  Compared to "childhood sweetheart", "sisters" could stay with him all day and call him "brother" in a cute tone.

  Sisters could live together with him and no one would say a word.

  Sisters could hide in his arms in the middle of the night after hearing a clap of thunder or having a nightmare.

  Sisters could naturally play the role of his bride in the game "Playing House".

  Sisters were ten thousands times tougher than dragons and demons! Sisters are the biggest impediment in a childhood sweetheart's way of becoming his brother's lover!

  My Little Xi should never have a sister!

  "Hum?" Yun Xi finally realized Hua Huo's jealousy.

  Her dangerous eyes looked as if she would... in the past, he only saw this expression when he played the game "Playing House" with Ye Li, El'phyllis and Milei.

  "Oh, I was just saying that! Hua Huo, don't misunderstand my words!" Yun Xi quickly explained.

  Chapter 376: The Super High Speed Seed

  The connection with Mumu brought him a super fantastic feeling.

  It wasn't a physical feeling, but a feeling of the soul.

  He felt as if he just planted a tree sapling, then saw it growing up and becoming a tree that could support the whole world.

  The growth of the seed is such a magical thing! Raising up his head, Yun Xi looked at the girls around him. He could feel their seeds clearly.

  In the far away, unknown places, he could vaguely feel the seeds of Ye Li, El'phyllis and Milei.

  Some of the seeds that were planted into the girls' bodies were by him.

  Some of the seeds were his rewards from the star trials.

  No matter what the seeds were, once they got connected with him, everyone would have a special connection with him, just like the sparkling stars in the endless god's domains.

  Now, the seeds of all the girls were sparkling in his eyes.

  The seeds of Mumu, the twin witches and Hua Huo were the brightest. The seeds of Hua Yue, Xiao Cao and Lu Lu were slightly inferior to their seeds. Then there were the seeds of other members of the Starwing Knights.

  He wasn't standing under the starry sky, but he was surrounded by these bright stars.

  "Is it... my network?" Amongst the seeds, a well-connected network was formed. He could feel their happiness and sorrow, he could see the traces of their fates.

  Because of him, their fates were totally changed and moving to an unknown direction.

  His own fate had also become colorful because of his connection with them.

  "All for one, one for all!" He murmured the famous proverb, then touched the brightest, hottest thread in the network.

  On the other end of the thread, it was the silver-haired girl who was pinching the corner of her clothes shyly.

  "Zii! Zii! Zii!" A strand of Hua Huo's hair stood up and pointed to the little girl besides the twin witches.

  "No... it can't be possible!" A strong sense of being threatened arose in her heart.

  Now she confirmed who the suspect was!

  "Mei, are you really so eager for a sister?" Hua Huo ground her teeth and held Yun Xi's hands tightly.

  No, stop looking in that direction!

  I'm your childhood sweetheart, how can I lose to this little girl!

  If it's Ye Li, El'phyllis or Milei, I can understand it, but I will never concede to this little girl who came from out of nowhere!

  If I lose to her, I won't believe in justice anymore!

  "Well... in fact... I said she is like my little sister, but this feeling... I feel she is more like my..." Yun Xi could find no words to describe it. Just like what Mei'er said, her seed was super excellent!

  He just met a seed that could transfer him such a great amount of information at such a high speed. He felt as if he was smoking.

  He could clearly feel the change that was happening to his body.

  Casina's secret training could strengthen his body in one night, helping him break the barrier which stopped him from entering a higher realm, the hero’s realm.

  However, it was still a step by step process. It wasn't that easy to break the limit of flesh and blood. Millions of years, a human body couldn't break through the limit of a mere mortal without hard practice and luck. Every meagre bit of progress after reaching the limit of the human body would bring a great improvement to the body after entering the third rank.

  There were differences between different "third ranks". The green hippo was at the third rank, the three Childes were at the third rank, and Hua Huo was also at the third rank. However, the gap between their battle powers was wide and desperate.

  The fundamental difference was "their limits were different".

  The green hippo was a third ranked monster. The strength of its body was far stronger than common third rank humans.

  Child Yun He, Childe Si Nian and Child San Quan were nobles. They learned the battle skills of their families from their childhoods and even had their own spirit weapons. Their bodies were far inferior to the green hippo, but they could kill the hippo with great ease.

  As for Hua Huo, she was an exception. She wasn't a standard common third ranked human.

  If the green hippo's limit was 100, then the limit of the three childes was between 200 and 300, arguably, the limit of any common human was 300.

  However, humanity was just one of the races in the endless god's domains. There were numerous races whose limit was far beyond 300.

  Before entering the hero rank, they were still flesh and blood, but the limit of flesh and blood of different races were variou
s.

  Before his memory as the starchild was aroused, Yun Xi's limit was 100, which was even inferior to the green hippo.

  After being blessed by the Water God, his limit increased to 800. This was also the reason Casina thought very highly of him.

  And now, he felt that his limit was being broken again, which announced that he had stepped into the realm of non humans.

  Chapter 377: Getting Closer

  Originally, this should happen at the moment Yun Xi reached the hero rank.

  The nature of the hero rank was an evolution of life form, a total transmutation.

  Even if it was a "weak" human, after reaching the hero rank, the human's physical quality would be stronger than an elf and even a giant.

  The outstanding people could even fly using the powers of their weapons, crossing the racial isolation.

  The hero rank meant a brand new realm.

  Mortals would shiver with cold in the face of monsters like the green hippo, but any hero ranked person, even if the person just entered the hero rank, could slaughter a group of green hippos with his eyes shut.

  The mortal rank's limit was the starting point of the hero rank. The stronger a person was when the person was still a mortal, the higher the potential the person would show after reaching the hero rank.

  Yun Xi thought that he was already very close to his limit, but now, his limit was expanded again.

  Everything about his body had become unknown just now.

  After obtaining the information of Mumu's "Diamond Body", he clearly felt that his bones and muscles were strengthened, and his breathing became slow.

  His blood flowed slowly like the lava in the volcano. The rhythm of his life was becoming slow, because his body was restraining itself.

  Once he was ready for a battle, his body would release the amazing amount of power it saved just like an erupting volcano.

  This technique was included in Casina's training course of the Battle God Genre, however, it was a very high-level technique which Casina wasn't going to teach him before he learned the basic skills.

  But now, Yun Xi obtained the "Soft Body" and the "Rigid Body" both, then he naturally understood this technique.

  Unlike the "Soft Body", the strengthening goal of the "Rigid Body" was higher, faster, stronger.

  The "Soft Body" could let the flexibility and agility of his body reach its limit.

  The "Rigid Body" could improve and help the hardness and strike-resistance of his body reach its limit.

  The two different evolutionary lines existed in his body harmoniously and perfectly. He hadn't reached the hero rank, but his temperament already made him look like a great sword master.

  From today on, he already stepped into the realm that Hua Huo and the twin witches had reached.

  After his limit practice in the small valley, he reached the "first stage" of his cultivation, now, he just reached the "second stage".

  In the first stage, he obtained his "heart of never yield". Even facing countless deaths, he wouldn't surrender in the trial.

  Without a “heart of never yield”, even if his talent was ten times greater, he wouldn't be able to find his own road.

  In the second stage, he just obtained his "body of never collapsing". In the long history, it wasn't rare that a genius couldn't step into a higher realm because of his physical defects. No matter how talented the genius was, without a good body, he could only turn into the ash of history after a helpless sigh.

  If he wanted to reach the legend rank, only a great good body could withstand the great power of the legend rank.

  Although "a good body" wasn't necessary when trying to reach the hero rank, for example, even a soul who had no good body could reach the hero rank, however, the "hero rank" was imperfect, which meant that the soul could never reach the legend rank.

  Only the person whose "body", "soul" and "technique" were all perfect had the hope to enter the realm of the legend rank. Casina was a wonderful example.

  Now, on his way to becoming strong, Yun Xi had only a weakness, "technique". This was the only difference between him and Hua Huo and the twin witches.

  He didn't realize that he had become closer and closer to the distant goal in his eyes, his invincible childhood sweetheart.

  The will of the stars was indeed pushing him to step onto the road that nobody had come down yet. However, it was also a road with infinite possibilities.

  Of course, there was also a "very negligible" defect.

  The principle of equal value exchange was still available. After obtaining so much from Mumu, it was natural that he needed to give her the corresponding return. However, the one who paid the price wasn't Yun Xi himself but the stars.

  "It's warm... it's like... someone is hugging me." Mumu held her arms with an intoxicated look.

  From just now, she could feel an unknown warmth coming from nowhere.

  In her small universe, the silver dragon whose body was covered with wounds smiled in her deep sleep.

  ...

  Mumu Salabert had a dream, a happy, warm colorful dream, a dream she didn't want to wake up from.

  In the dream, she was a careless child, and her daddy was hugging her and praising her.

  "Mumu is my good girl! I love you."

  "Eh, papa, I love you too."

  Oh, let this dream become longer and longer.

  Chapter 378: The Growth of the Seed

  "You have successfully accepted all the information in the seed." Mei'er pleasingly announced.

  The secret of Mumu's bloodline talent, "Diamond Body" had all been absorbed by Yun Xi's body. Correspondingly, a part of his talent, his "Soft Body" also returned to Mumu's body.

  Not only Mumu, as long as he kept growing, but also all the girls in the network of his seeds could achieve growth.

  Because Yun Xi absorbed Hua Huo's seed and transferred his experience into the bodies of the girls of the Starwing Knights, those girls who didn't have a great talent of sword skill originally all became excellent sword geniuses.

  Similarly, the girls of the Starwing Knights also shared a part of the mentality talent Yun Xi obtained from the twin witches.

  When Yun Xi obtained the "Soft Body" in the Water God's world, the girls' bodies immediately became more nimble and flexible.

  Now, he obtained Mumu's super high speed, the girls of the Starwing Knights also obtained a part of the properties of the "Rigid Body".

  This time, not only the common girls of the Starwing Knights, even Hua Huo and the twin witches were influenced.

  After obtaining Hua Huo's seed and the twin witches' seed, he could absorb experience from their seeds, but couldn't influence the two special seeds.

  It was because the rank of their seeds was too high. Yun Xi's personal understanding about the sword was like nothing compared to their seeds, naturally, they couldn't feel anything.

  However, it was different this time.

  Because the change happened to him this time was too big.

  Even the hero ranked twin witches and his invincible childhood sweetheart could clearly feel it.

  After Yun Xi finished absorbing the secret of Mumu's Diamond Body, Hua Huo and the twin witches' suddenly shivered. They noticed the changes that happened to their bodies.

  "It's strange... my bloodline was aroused just now? No, it wasn't that kind of feeling..." Hua Huo murmured and still held Yun Xi's hands tightly. She still blocked his sight of Mumu with her own body, trying to stop him from looking at her in this manner.

  Almost all people wished that their bloodlines could be aroused by 100%, breaking the limit of their bodies. However, Hua Huo always suppressed her bloodline, just in case that her power increased too fast and too strong.

  However, although her power was enhanced this time, she didn't feel any change in her bloodline. She knew it must be something else.

  As a super genius who had to suppress her growth, there weren't too many things in the world that could make her feel surprised.


  "I just became stronger?" Red Lotus was taken aback.

  She hadn't practiced hard recently, but her body naturally became stronger just now. Although she could find no reason to explain it, the enhancement of her own body was undoubtedly a good thing.
