Chapter 3131: Sigh, a Hero Doesn’t Mention Past Glories

A soul strength of 20 points was a bit shabby. Very shabby.

Ning Shu thought, if it were her original soul strength, it definitely wouldn’t be just 20.

Sigh, a hero doesn’t mention past glories.

2333 was silent for a moment. “It’s about the same as your soul when you became an intermediate task-taker.”

“In advanced planes and ultra planes, the ordinances are stable, and the plane walls are firm. That’s why teleportation feels so awful with your current soul state.”

“Also, your soul is too weak and easily influenced by residual emotions in the body,” 2333 said.

Ning Shu wiped her face. How long had it been since she’d last been affected by residual emotions?

Her setup couldn’t keep up anymore.

So much soul energy was spent just to get into the ordinance space.

But if she had given up on the ultra examination tasks, she’d forever lose the opportunity to comprehend ordinances.

All in all, there were gains and losses.

Ning Shu asked 2333, “What ordinance do you think I should comprehend first?”

“Don’t aim too high. Don’t try to comprehend time or space right away. Very few people can comprehend those. They’re extremely powerful, but also extremely difficult.”

“Among 100,000 task-takers, not even one may be able to comprehend them.”

“Start with water or fire ordinances. These ordinances can help with basic tasks, like making fire or boiling water.”

Ning Shu: …

“Everyone wants to comprehend advanced ordinances, but even the basic five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—aren’t easy. You can’t comprehend them just because you want to.”

2333’s voice was full of disdain. “Don’t underestimate any ordinance.”

Ning Shu scratched her head. “Then let’s go to the City of Water.”

She’d start with comprehending the water ordinance. Water was the most variable—solid, liquid, gas—it changed endlessly.

And there were many kinds of water: weak water, heavy water, each with different properties.

Ning Shu thought, if she could master the water ordinance, at least she wouldn’t die of thirst even in a desert.

Ning Shu stood at the passageway. During the teleportation, she felt absolutely miserable.

Her soul was too weak. What used to feel like just a blink of an eye now felt like she was a lump of dough being kneaded over and over.

When she stood on the bluestone slab, Ning Shu felt completely drained, like her body had been hollowed out.

Ning Shu looked at her surroundings. The layout of the City of Water was identical to the City of Time.

She almost thought she had arrived at the City of Time.

On the bluestone slabs were faint traces of ordinances. When Ning Shu stepped on them, it felt like stepping on water.

Even her soul became extremely damp.

Ning Shu felt the City of Water was very humid; her soul was covered in moisture.

It was like sweating in the middle of summer, but the sweat never dried and just clung to the body.

It was quite uncomfortable.

Ning Shu looked at the souls passing by her. Their souls were very resilient. Some looked almost like real people.

They must be powerful ultra task-takers.

Ning Shu’s weak appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone who could enter here was an ultra task-taker. Ning Shu’s soul was so weak, yet she was here. It was surprising.

Ning Shu stared at her feeble soul and decided to head to a restaurant to eat something.

The food at the restaurant was very expensive, unlike in the fabricated space where you could eat a lot with points.

Here, items were rare and costly, and could only be paid for with merit and faith power.

Ning Shu ordered some pastries that could make her soul a bit more resilient.
