Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 725 - 378: Zhang Ze Had Already Seen All Their Appearances_2

Staring at the light sphere, Zhang Ze couldn't resist touching it.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

As soon as Zhang Ze's hand touched the light sphere, it shook and made a sound.

Meanwhile, the battle outside the compartment was concluding; all was wrapped up with the Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship meeting the Tombstone Head technique Zhang Ze had taught.

The Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship was learned at the Sword Sect, while the Tombstone Head technique was taught by Zhang Ze.

The old thing's silver head was snapped off, and every protrusion on its armor was smashed.

The silver metal surrounding the two non-human entities began to dissolve like wax, melting away until it disappeared into the air, and the tremors across the entire Underground City ceased.

The true forms of Tong Tong and the old thing appeared before Zhang Ze.

Two light spheres, one large and one small...

"Where have I seen this before?"

As Zhang Ze pondered, the light sphere behind him suddenly moved.

The light sphere bumped Zhang Ze aside, flew out of the compartment, and merged with the larger light sphere.

The two light spheres continuously fused and separated, and a bubble-like Spiritual Qi Barrier formed from nothing on their surface.

Under the protection of the Spiritual Qi Barrier, the two light spheres slowly rotated.

Looking closely, one could see regular geometric patterns flicker in and out on the core of the light spheres, refreshing repeatedly at a fixed speed.

Watching the double-yolk egg before him, memories in Zhang Ze's mind finally awakened.

He remembered.

It was Dan Dan.

The old thing was also Dan Dan.

A long time ago, before Brother Feng went off on great adventures, Zhang Ze and Brother Feng went on a trip to the Northern Territory.

That trip not only introduced them to Bai Tao but also to an Artifact Refining Master summoned from a Stone Pill.

His name unknown, but since he resembled a double-yolk egg, Zhang Ze named him Dan Dan.

Currently, Dan Dan is researching the Artifact Refining Art at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

He's reclusive, so much so that he's forgotten, almost reaching the Half-step Sword Spirit realm.

So...

If the old thing was Dan Dan, then Tong Tong...

Zhang Ze turned his gaze to Tong Tong, who looked much like the old thing but smaller, and missing one yolk.

"What's going on here?" Zhang Ze and the old thing asked simultaneously.

Of course, they were not asking about the same thing.

The single-yolked Tong Tong shivered at Zhang Ze, then floated over to the old thing and nudged it, conveying in a way they both understood that it currently had no mouth.

The still small, deaf, and blind old thing circled Tong Tong twice, bumped into it, and after a moment's thought, shared one of its yolks.

"I'll lend you mine for now, remember to return it later."

The old thing's yolk passed through the egg white, popping into Tong Tong's Spiritual Qi Barrier.

Now with two yolks, one large and one small, Tong Tong was slightly off-balance but functional.

However, once temporarily completed, Tong Tong didn't speak but burst into tears instead.

No tears, just a dry sob.

As if some deep grievance had been pent up, now finally unleashed.

Zhang Ze looked up at the ceiling, planning not to comment.

Definitely has nothing to do with me, yes, surely not.

After sobbing for a while, Tong Tong finally spoke.

"Come with me."

The voice was calm, elegant, and somewhat effeminate.

Watching Tong Tong's back, or what he thought was the back, Zhang Ze wasn't sure because he couldn't tell the front from the back.

Zhang Ze rudely asked one more question.

"Why do you sound so effeminate?"

Tong Tong, "..."

Ignoring Zhang Ze, the genderless Tong Tong continued to float forward.

Zhang Ze was about to follow when he felt a touch on his hand from behind; turning around, he discovered it was the old thing.

Now, the old thing was deaf, blind, and mute since it had lent its 'mouth' to Tong Tong, making it a disabled egg among disabled eggs.

The old thing seemed to be indicating that it wanted Zhang Ze to carry it.

Zhang Ze picked up the old thing and followed quickly.

Leaving the room full of compartments, Tong Tong led Zhang Ze down the corridor, heading deeper.

As they walked, Tong Tong told Zhang Ze this and that.

"Firstly, I wasn't crying just now; I was doing a frequency synchronization test."

Zhang Ze, "Mm-hmm, right, right."

Tong Tong, "Many of our abilities require synchronization between two cores, but unfortunately, I lost my other half."

"So, I'm not effeminate; I'm just not used to the old thing's core!"

"Alright, alright, you don't need to explain; I get it," Zhang Ze said nonchalantly from behind Tong Tong.

According to Tong Tong, several hundred years ago, after detaching from its previous host and returning to the Northern Territory to recuperate, it experienced an accident, losing one of its eggs and consciousness.

When it woke up again, it found itself trapped inside Zhang Ze.

Initially, it was unconcerned, having possessed ordinary people before; Tong Tong thought this was just a coincidental encounter, not expecting it to be the start of imprisonment.

Having collaborated with numerous charming figures, it never expected to encounter such an eccentric dad.

In just a few years, all the hardships it had avoided in the first half of its life seemed to crash down on it.

Initially, Tong Tong thought Zhang Ze was just a lucky boy, but as Zhang Ze caused more trouble, it discovered Zhang Ze's identity might not be so simple.

Listening to Tong Tong's chatter, Zhang Ze interrupted, "So, how exactly do you send me boxes and rewards?"

Zhang Ze had always been curious about this matter.

Tong Tong would send tangible rewards, but unlike a usual Teleportation Technique, there was no Spiritual Qi fluctuation during activation, no trace, and no source could be found.
