Chapter 130 The Right Person at First Sight
Wu Heyi, who had been stopped, looked down at his clothes with a blank expression and frowned slightly.
The clothes that should have been neat and clean were now tattered and torn, with rotten marks everywhere, as if they had been through a fierce battle.
Worse still, many of the gaps were stained with mottled bloodstains of soul beasts. These bloodstains had dried and turned dark red, making the whole garment look shocking.
Wu Heyi took a sniff, and a pungent, fishy stench hit him. If he hadn't been stopped by the city defense troops, he probably wouldn't have even noticed how disheveled and utterly disfigured he was.
However, since things have come to this, there's no use in feeling regretful.
He subconsciously reached for the storage equipment at his waist, silently praying that he could find a change of clothes.
But when he opened the storage equipment, he found it completely empty, and the few remaining items were too broken to be used.
It turned out that after 20 days of non-stop travel and frequent battles along the way, he had already used up all his spare clothes, and the clothes he was wearing now were the last complete set of clothes he had.
As for those old clothes that were once stored in the storage space, because they have not been taken care of for a long time and have been damaged by wind and rain, they can probably only be used as mops now.
Just as Wu Heyi was feeling desperate, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—since he had to go into the city to have a chance to buy new clothes, why not try to find a solution here?
So he hurriedly started searching through his storage equipment again, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
However, after all that effort, he finally sighed in disappointment.
It was only then that Wu Heyi suddenly remembered that he had completely emptied his storage equipment once before in order to store the invaluable Spring of Life.
Later, while accompanying Master Xiong in the artificial honey-making process, the storage equipment underwent a meticulous reorganization and categorization.
As a result, the already scarce clothing became impossible to find.
At this moment, Wu Heyi was in a very sorry state. He looked himself up and down and found that he had a lot of valuable items on his body, but he couldn't take out a single penny from his pocket!
Wu Heyi glared angrily at the city guards blocking his way and shouted irritably:
"Hey! What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?"
Let me tell you, I am, after all, a legitimate Soul Master!
However, the city garrison soldiers were completely unmoved by his rhetoric. They ignored his righteous and assertive arguments, and simply pushed him away forcefully, shouting as they did so:
"Get out of here! Stop getting in my way!"
"Hmph! Everyone who can come to this Spirit City is a Spirit Master."
Are you some kind of special case?
The city defense soldiers looked at Wu Heyi with disdain, as if he were a clown.
At the same time, soul rings slowly appeared on their bodies, revealing that each of them was a powerful expert at the level of a four-ring Soul Master.
It should be noted that such a level of cultivation is already considered quite good on the entire continent.
Even in elite tournaments, this level of skill is enough to reach the standard level of almost all regular teams.
Upon seeing this, Wu Heyi was stunned and panicked, so much so that he was so embarrassed that he forgot to release his cultivation.
And so, pushed and shoved by the crowd, he stumbled and was pushed to the side of the road, becoming a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
This was truly awkward. Wu Heyi took out a tattered map and looked at the nearest small village. A round trip would take two days, and Wu Heyi didn't have the time to waste.
The most critical problem is that he is penniless at this moment, and even if he goes to the village, he may not be able to exchange the items he brought with him for suitable clothes.
Therefore, racking their brains to infiltrate the city seemed to be the only feasible way to solve this series of problems.
So Wu Heyi remained like a statue outside the city gate, secretly hoping to bump into someone he knew so they could bring him into the city.
Deep down, he most hoped to meet someone from the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although he knew that he still had a jade dove on him, and that if he used the dove, Mi'er would definitely appear to meet him.
However, he did not choose to do so at this moment, the reason for which stemmed from his unique calculations and plans.
Time passed by, minute by minute, and Wu Heyi remained frozen in place for an entire day.
During that time, he was so exhausted that he even took a nap for several hours.
When he slowly woke up, the sky had gradually become gloomy and dark.
Looking at the darkening sky, Wu Heyi couldn't help but feel remorseful, secretly blaming himself for falling asleep for so long in the afternoon. Perhaps during the time he was sound asleep, someone he knew happened to be entering or leaving the city gate!
Just as Wu Heyi was feeling frustrated, a team composed entirely of women suddenly caught his eye and instantly drew all his attention.
Every member of this team is a stunningly beautiful young woman. They are all dressed in a fresh and bright blue outfit, looking as vibrant and energetic as flowers blooming in spring, making them a sight to behold.
Those graceful figures looked especially charming under the sunlight, radiating endless youthful allure.
In that instant, Wu Heyi inadvertently looked up and his eyes met those of the captain walking at the front.
Their eyes met in mid-air and remained there for a full two seconds.
In that brief moment of eye contact, Wu Heyi knew in his heart that she was the one he had been waiting for all along!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Heyi flashed forward, appearing like a ghost directly in front of the opposing team, forcefully blocking their path back to the city.
At this moment, Wu Heyi was filthy and his clothes were tattered. At first glance, he looked no different from a beggar on the street.
However, his face had been specially cleaned. Although he couldn't be called handsome, he was still somewhat good-looking, so he wasn't repulsive.
Suddenly blocked by Wu Heyi, the entire team was thrown into chaos.
The team members began whispering among themselves, their faces showing surprise as they discussed this strange fellow who had appeared out of nowhere.
Some people stared at Wu Heyi curiously, wondering what he was up to.
Some timid girls clung tightly to their companions' clothes, their faces full of vigilance.
"Sister, what's going on with this beggar?"
Shui Yue'er stared at the ragged, filthy man in front of her with a face full of curiosity—Wu Heyi.
He remained silent, simply standing there quietly, and his appearance instilled a sense of fear in Shuiyue'er.
Although they are all outstanding elite soul masters from Tianshui Academy, they are still a group of delicate girls after all.
Faced with a beggar who suddenly appears and blocks your way, even the bravest person in normal times will find it difficult to completely suppress their fear and unease.
Even the usually calm and collected Bing'er felt a little scared at this moment.
After all, this group is full of beautiful young women, and it's not uncommon for them to be approached by strange men.
But as the team leader, she knew that protecting each team member was her primary and inescapable responsibility.
So she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then questioned him in a voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air:
"Who exactly are you? Why are you blocking our path?"
