Ao Xinyan shook her head and sighed, showing a struggling look, obviously still unable to accept the failure.

She has always been the best genius, and everyone praised her. It was so painful that she had tasted failure for the first time. It even made her doubt about her strength.

Zhang Ruochen stopped talking.

Ao Xinyan's own mentality has problems and she must overcome it herself. What Zhang Ruochen should say has been said, and it will depend on whether she can defeat the inner demon.

If she could get out of the shadow of failure, her mood and martial arts would definitely go to the next level.

If she cannot get out of the shadow, her cultivation level will definitely slower and slower in the future, and she will even be unable to break through to the fish and dragon realm.

Zhang Ruochen was about to leave, suddenly, a voice sounded, "Wait a minute."

Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked at the man who had been standing next to Xu Hai before and walked towards him.

This man looked quite mature and tall and thin, but his face was very sick. He stood opposite Zhang Ruochen and said, "Pei Ji, below, I want to learn about Junior Brother Zhang's supreme swordsmanship."

"Pei Ji, what a familiar name, could you...you are the 41st place in the "Heaven List", the Blood-handed Butcher, Pei Ji?" Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked.

"Yes, it's me." said the man.

Zhang Ruochen observed Pei Ji carefully and could not associate the man in front of him with the four words "Blood-handed Butcher". This person looked more like a weak scholar.

Pei Ji's name is famous in the Eastern Region, who can become the 41st master of "The Heavenly List".

Pei Ji, like Xu Hai, is both a student from the previous class. He has been practicing in the Holy Academy for ten years.

When she heard the name of "Pei Ji", even Ao Xinyan, who was a little lost, was shocked. She did not expect that a master like Pei Ji who had been famous for many years would take the initiative to challenge the new generation of Zhang Ruochen.

Although Zhang Ruochen is very strong, he is still far behind the top masters like Pei Ji.

Anyway, Ao Xinyan definitely doesn't believe that Zhang Ruochen is Pei Ji's opponent.

A smile appeared in Xi Yunxi's eyes, "Xu Hai invited Pei Ji out, Zhang Ruochen is going to be in trouble now!"

"In the Eastern Region, under the Fish and Dragon Realm, there are only two or three people who can fight Pei Ji, and Zhang Ruochen is still far from it." Zuo Qiuling held his hands in front of his chest, preparing to watch the show.

"Wow!"

Pei Ji stood still, but behind him, a blood-red devil figure condensed, as high as three feet tall, with three heads and six arms. Three loud roars came from the mouth of the three heads, and a violent wind suddenly formed.

It was not Pei Ji's martial soul, but a ghost-level martial arts, blood magic, performed by Pei Ji.

When Zhang Ruochen and Ao Xinyan fought, Pei Ji could see at a glance that Zhang Ruochen’s biggest weakness was that he had not practiced ghost-level martial arts.

No matter how exquisitely you use the top-level martial arts of the spirit level, it is impossible to compare with the ghost-level martial arts. Once Zhang Ruochen encounters a real strong man, he will suffer a great loss.

Obviously, Pei Ji is a real strong man.

"The blood magic image destroys sentient beings."

Pei Ji stood in the distance, twisting his waist, raising his arms, and making a giggle and a punch from the air.

The blood magic image, guided by his power, also shot out a huge blood-red fist, like a blood cloud, and hit Zhang Ruochen.

Before the fist power arrived, a hurricane had already blew up, as if to blow Zhang Ruochen away.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, Nie Honglou flew over from a distance and landed in front of Zhang Ruochen. One of his right arm stretched forward and said a word from his mouth, "Broken!"

The blood magic phase condensed by Pei Ji was instantly destroyed by a powerful force, turning into wisps of blood mist and reintegrating into Pei Ji's body.

Pei Ji took fourteen steps back in a row before he could barely take a foothold, stared at Nie Honglou, and said coldly: "Who is meddling in other people's business?"

Xu Hai also walked forward three steps, stood beside Pei Ji, and said, "Your Excellency has such a strong cultivation level, but no matter how strong you are, you should not interfere in this matter, it will not be beneficial to you."

Nie Honglou curled his lips and said, "The old saints fight against the new saints, bullying the small with the big and the small with the more. Why, I can't control it?"

Xu Hai smiled and said, "Pei Ji and Zhang Ruochen are both in the Tianji Realm's cultivation level, why do you bully the small by the big one?"

"Pei Ji entered the Holy Academy ten years ago. This year, he is close to fifty years old. Zhang Ruochen has just entered the Holy Academy today, and is only in his early twenties. A 50-year-old saint beats a 20-year-old saint. Is this called fairness?" Nie Honglou said sarcastically.

"have a finger in the pie."

Xu Hai's eyes cold, he pulled out the two swords on his back, mobilized the true energy of his whole body, and injected them into the sword body.

Two battle swords, one emitted flame light, and the other emitted a biting cold air. The two forces converged together to form a huge swordsman circle and attacked Nie Honglou.

Xu Hai's cultivation has broken the limit of warriors and reached the realm of the first change of "innate fetal breathing" in the fish and dragon.

He also used the low-level sword technique of ghost-level sword technique, but the power it exploded was many times stronger than Ao Xinyan's Biluo Sword Technique.

It is not that Biluo's sword technique is not as good as Xu Hai's sword technique, but Ao Xinyan's cultivation is far inferior to Xu Hai.

The same great-level ghost-level low-grade sword technique, the power displayed by different people is of course different.

Nie Honglou shook his head gently, stretched out a white palm, wielded his true energy, and pushed forward.

"boom!"

Xu Hai was shocked, vomited blood from his mouth, and flew backwards.

With a bang, Xu Hai fell more than ten feet away, and his whole body was in pain.

Under the impact of powerful force, more than ten long blood patterns broke out on his skin. If Nie Honglou had a little more powerful force, he would probably be able to break his body.

Pei Ji, Xi Yunxi, Zuo Qiuling and others all changed their faces and stared at Nie Honglou in shock.

They didn't know Nie Honglou's strength, but they knew Xu Hai's strength.

Xu Hai was in the realm of Heaven and Earth, and once entered the top 100 places in the "Heaven List" and broke through to the realm of Yulong. His cultivation level was even more unfathomable.

However, in front of Nie Honglou, Xu Hai was vulnerable.

So, how powerful is Nie Honglou?

Nie Honglou took back his palm, stared at Xu Hai who was lying on the ground, trembling, and said lightly: "You are not worthy of fighting with me, unless the holy body of the Xu Sheng family comes out of seclusion, otherwise, you'd better restrain yourself in the future. Next time, it's not just a slap in your hand."

"You...who are you?" Xu Hai supported the ground with both hands and started fighting from the ground with difficulty.

"Nie Honglou!" said Nie Honglou.

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen and Nie Honglou turned around and left, disappearing in the distance.

"Nie Honglou...Nie Honglou... Could it be him?"

Pei Ji's face turned pale and he stared at Xu Hai.

Xu Hai covered his chest, nodded, and said, "It should be him who can have such strong strength! He is one generation older than us. Twenty years ago, he was the youngest saint in the first group of the Kendo Department, and his strength could rank among the top ten in the first group. It is said that he had some celebrations with the leader of the first group of the Kendo Department at that time, and then left the Holy Academy. Unexpectedly, he came back!"

Xi Yunxi said: "Senior Brother Xu, what should I do now? With Nie Honglou supporting Zhang Ruochen, no one in the Holy Academy can deal with Zhang Ruochen."

Xu Hai snorted coldly and said, "So what about Nie Honglou? The holy body of our Xu Sheng family is about to come out of seclusion. At that time, even ten Nie Honglou will not be able to protect Zhang Ruochen. In the Holy Academy, although we cannot kill Zhang Ruochen, we can humiliate him severely. See what face he has to compete for the position of Shaozun in the future."

"It's so great! It is said that the holy body of the Xu Sheng family is in seclusion and attacking the ninth transformation of the fish and dragon. Once successful, it will definitely become an invincible existence among the saints." Pei Jidao.

Xu Hai had a gloomy face and said, "Xiyunxi, Zuoqiuling, you continue to monitor Zhang Ruochen's every move. According to my guess, Zhang Ruochen will definitely go to the battlefield of the Ruin Realm and attack the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm. If you can take this opportunity to get rid of him, you will not have to disturb the holy body of our Xu Sheng family because of this little thing."

Xi Yunxi and Zuo Qiuling nodded, responded, and left immediately.

Leaving the Holy Mountain, Zhang Ruochen went to the library of the Holy Academy.

Nie Honglou did not go with him, but visited some of his old friends in the Holy Academy.

The two, separated temporarily.

The library in the Holy Academy has thirteen floors, built underground, forming an inverted tower shape.

The library has a long history and is all-encompassing. There are countless thousands of books included, including bone books engraved on bones, iron scrolls engraved on iron sheets, jade books, bamboo slips..., etc.

The secrets of martial arts, unique martial arts, formation catalogs, chapters of beast control, and humanities and geography can all be found here.

Zhang Ruochen came to the library, not to read the secrets of martial arts and martial arts skills, but to look for books about the Ruins.

This type of book is divided into the "human geography" area and is placed on the first floor of the library.

Before Zhang Ruochen came, many new saints had already come to the library with a strong desire for knowledge.

However, what they read were books about martial arts, and most of them went directly to the second and third floors of the library, and few people left the first floor.

After all, books on the first level record almost all basic common sense.

"The Ten Forbidden Lands of Kunlun Realm", "Overseas Island Collection", "Eight Middle Ages of the Divine Land of the Eastern Region"...

Zhang Ruochen searched for about half an hour and finally found a book "Second Summary of the Three Thousand Ruins".

This book is very thick, but the words written on it are very small. If you do not inject true energy into your eyes and look directly, you can only see small black dots on the pages.
