Chapter 507: with translation of chapter title

The next morning, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong left their rooms early and arrived at the soul guidance train station.

Throughout the process of queuing for tickets and boarding the train, Huo Yutong couldn't help looking around, feeling extremely curious about everything, and the camera in her hand kept clicking nonstop.

Although she had been in this era for a while, riding a soul guidance train was her first time, an experience that was incredibly novel to her.

In her view, this is arguably one of the greatest inventions; although even top-tier soul masters rushing at full speed are much faster, it greatly reduces the travel burden for ordinary people and low-level soul masters, causing huge changes in the situation across the continent.

For ordinary people to cross the continent actually takes less than a week, which would have been unimaginable ten thousand years ago.

Relying on the identity proof and money provided by the Tang Sect, they booked the top-tier VIP cabin, a small room equipped with a bed, table, bathroom, etc., essentially a small guest room.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will spend the next few days in this small room.

"Speaking of which, in the end she didn't send anyone to cause trouble—did we overthink things?"

Tang Wulin leaned against the sofa's backrest, looking very relaxed.

Huo Yutong put down her camera and said seriously, "Wulin, don't let your guard down; no one can say for sure whether she'll have people intercept us during the soul guidance train's journey."

"It probably won't come to that; what deep grudge do I have with her..."

The person Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were talking to was Gu Yue, whom they had just said goodbye to yesterday.

When they had dinner with Xie Yue and Gu Yue yesterday, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong both felt a powerful mental power probing their bodies, seemingly trying to gauge their true strength.

Both could sense that the owner of that mental power was Gu Yue, who outwardly looked only nine years old.

After briefly discussing it via private mental communication, they both pretended not to notice and ignored her behavior.

If Gu Yue had no intention of doing anything to them and was merely being normally cautious, they wouldn't bother with her further, parting ways and never seeing each other again in this life.

But if Gu Yue really made a move against them……

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong don't believe they are so weak as to be easily schemed against and taken down by others.

If that happens, they will need to find Gu Yue and ask her what her true intentions are.

"I never expected that there would be such an expert hidden around me when I was young."

Tang Wulin picked up an apple from the table, took a bite, and said, "Just thinking about it gives me chills; she came to this tiny East Sea Academy, lurked by my side—what could her motive be?"

Although they are not afraid of Gu Yue now, if it were ten years ago and she wanted to do something to him, he would truly have no ability to fight back.

After all, back then he had no treasures on him, not even an awakened Golden Dragon King bloodline—just a strong Blue Silver Grass soul master; what could Gu Yue possibly want from him to approach him?

"Hmm..."

Huo Yutong pondered for a moment, lightly tapped her lips, then half-jokingly said, "You're handsome—are you looking to play at raising someone?"

Tang Wulin instantly felt somewhat helpless.

"Don't give up on thinking, hey—I was only nine back then; no matter how handsome, I was just a kid, surely she couldn't like little boys?"

"Just joking."

Huo Yutong certainly knew that was impossible.

But as Tang Wulin said, at that time, aside from being quite cute, he really had nothing that would attract Gu Yue's attention.

Could that guy really be a shotacon? Both let out a sigh, feeling somewhat worried.

At that moment, the soul guidance train shuddered slightly, and a voice came from the ceiling broadcast: "Dear passengers, please fasten your seats, this..."

"Ah."

Hearing that voice, both snapped out of their thoughts.

Tang Wulin clapped his hands, producing a crisp "pa" sound.

"Alright, overthinking helps nothing; this time we're going out to pick up my parents and also to take this chance to relax properly—we shouldn't just immerse ourselves in worries; enjoying the trip is more important."

Since Gu Yue didn't send anyone to act before they boarded the train, it's likely she won't act during the soul guidance train's journey either.

At least, in Tang Wulin's memory, Gu Yue is not the kind of villain who would drag all those ordinary people on the soul guidance train into her schemes.

"Mm."

Huo Yutong nodded, also shifting her attention away from Gu Yue, relaxing her mind, and gazing out the window.

Soon, the soul guidance train began to move slowly, its speed gradually increasing with time, and before long it reached an astonishing level, pulling out of the station.

Watching the scenery flash by outside the window, Huo Yutong's eyes filled with emotion.

"This speed is probably comparable to a Soul Emperor-level expert's full-speed sprint—what a great invention."

You know, among ten thousand people there might not even be a Soul Emperor, and even a Soul Emperor couldn't maintain such high speed for long; after a while they'd definitely need to rest and adjust.

Being able to carry hundreds or even thousands of people while moving continuously at this terrifying speed is simply unbelievable.

If she could bring this back to ten thousand years ago, the entire era would be completely renewed.

Indeed, afterward she should get the Tang Sect to properly study this soul guidance technology from ten thousand years later.

After Huo Yutong secretly made up her mind, she turned her attention to the beautiful scenery outside the window.

As a coastal city, East Sea's ocean view is naturally a must-see, and Tang Wulin has also taken Huo Yutong to enjoy it these past few days.

And now, with the soul guidance train's high-speed movement, that azure seascape gains an extra layer of charm.

Huo Yutong smiled as she looked at the scenery outside the window, about to speak to Tang Wulin and share her current joy, when suddenly her eyes twitched, sending a bad premonition.

She froze for a moment, instinctively activating Mental Detection Sharing, and the mental detection network covering the entire East Sea City appeared simultaneously in both her and Tang Wulin's minds.

The next second, both of their faces changed dramatically.

About two kilometers ahead in the direction the soul guidance train was moving, two black-clad individuals were standing on the tracks.

One of them raised his hand high, and five dark-gold claws extended from it, each several hundred meters long.

"Oh no—it's the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear!"

Tang Wulin instantly determined the source of the black-clad person's technique.

The next instant, the terrifying claws capable of rending space swept down, engulfing the forward-moving soul guidance train and instantly tearing it to pieces.

By the way, thanks for everyone's support; perhaps because it was recommended this week, this is the first time the monthly votes have been this high.

So let's set a military pledge here: if this month's total votes exceed one thousand, I'll add an extra ten thousand words and repay it next month (current monthly votes: 929).
