Saying goodbye to the old man, Zhao Xuan flew down from the snow-capped mountains and once again stood in front of Canghui Castle. After taking a deep look at the underground of Canghui Castle, he returned to the southwest without looking back.
Under the Canghui Castle, directly beneath the endless withered bones, a somewhat damaged altar suddenly glowed with a faint black light after Zhao Xuan left.
A jet-black air mass escaped from the altar, passed through the airtight soil and headed towards the ground. It seemed to have wisdom and escaped in one direction.
And in the deep underground, a faint murmur slowly came out from the damaged altar.
"I haven't been born for thousands of years. Is the human world already so terrifying?"
The faint voice was like a murmur in a dream, with a coldness and a hint of confusion, but it was buried deep in the ground and no one could listen.
Zhao Xuan indeed left the confines of Canghui Academy. After listening to the old man's words, he was very sure that the black gas was hidden here, although he didn't know what method the black gas used to avoid the detection of his spiritual consciousness.
, but since it can avoid it, it means that it is useless to continue to explore.
But this time it cannot be said that there is no gain at all. According to the legend told by the old man, he is very likely to find out the origin of the black energy through other channels, and judging from its behavior of avoiding him, it is still very harmful to him.
Fearful.
Various signs indicate that the origin of this black energy is definitely not ordinary. It is very likely that it is not the power of a mortal at all. After all, it has existed for too long, and its legend has been left behind thousands of years ago.
.
Zhao Xuan quickly returned to Tiandou City. The progress of the competition has been very smooth, and no one who is blind will come out to cause trouble at this time.
With three parties suppressing the situation and several titled Douluo taking charge, Tiandou City can be said to be the safest at this moment. After all, the future of the soul master world is not just talk. Those who come to participate in the competition are all the best among young soul masters.
If something happens to them, then at least one-third of the future of the soul master world will collapse, and the reputation of the forces responsible for the event will be discredited.
With doubts about the black energy, Zhao Xuan came to the Tiandou Royal Library, the largest library in Tiandou City.
The number of books collected here is only a few million, which is not enough compared to the libraries in previous lives that often collected tens of millions or hundreds of millions of books. However, it is one of the best libraries in this part of the world.
Most of the materials and documents stored inside will be open to everyone free of charge, but some others require soul master certificates or scholar certificates before they can enter. Masters are also frequent visitors here.
The huge library is extremely quiet, with only the rustling sound of turning books. It seems that the noise from the outside world has no impact at all.
Zhao Xuan took a cursory glance. Perhaps due to the influence of the Soul Master Competition, there were not many people here. However, most of the people sitting here reading were gentle scholars and some elegant nobles. It was rare to see civilians here.
Reading, for most ordinary people, reading is undoubtedly a boring thing.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but slow down, and then slowly walked towards the historical area.
Zhao Xuan spent the entire afternoon immersed in a sea of books, flipping through information. He flipped through books very quickly, and could finish flipping through a book in just a few dozen seconds, while his spiritual sense would read the words in the book, and finally
Extract useful information.
Zhao Xuan was able to control his movements very well and not let himself make noise to disturb others, so even though he read hundreds of books in one afternoon, no one noticed this remote corner.
As evening approached, Zhao Xuan stopped what he was doing and started to go back to Shrek Academy, but looking at his expression, it seemed that he had gained a lot.
When returning to the academy, Zhao Xuan unexpectedly met the master on campus. The master looked down at the information of the various colleges participating in the competition, and was slightly startled when he noticed Zhao Xuan's footsteps.
He raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xuan, then smiled and said, "Come and sit for a while."
The master was sitting under a rather tall tree. Zhao Xuan didn't know the name of this tree. Its trunk was very similar to the yellow horn tree in the previous life, but its leaves were very narrow, long and thin.
"Master, how is the battle going today?"
Zhao Xuan walked over and sat next to the master, took a look at the various information and data in his hand, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's not bad. Today's opponent is Tianhuo Academy, and we won."
The master's expression looked very dull, but Zhao Xuan felt a sense of relief from it. After all, all the students of the Shrek team were trained by him.
"That's good."
Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and said, although with his current strength, this continental elite soul master academy competition is like a child playing house in his eyes, but he is still very happy that his partner can achieve excellent results in it.
of.
"Zhao Xuan, where have you been today?" The master looked through the information and asked unconsciously.
Zhao Xuan was slightly stunned. He glanced at the master and did not hide it. He chuckled and said, "Go chase the trace of that weird black energy."
Although Flanders' words yesterday about loving you are not unreasonable, the strangeness of this black energy is always floating above the heads of everyone in Shrek like a dark cloud. Although no one said it explicitly, Zhao Xuan still had this feeling vaguely.
After all, it is too weird and mysterious. Human beings will always feel uneasy about such unknown things.
In the two days since Zhao Xuan disappeared, the master must have understood his whereabouts. After all, the master is the number one person in the theoretical world. Although his strength is not good, his wisdom is enough to be proud of. If he can't guess this, then this name
It’s also too unrealistic.
Sure enough, the moment the master heard this, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Xuan, with bright eyes and asked: "Is there anything gained?"
Zhao Xuan nodded, and then recounted his achievements in this line of work.
"Canghui Academy?"
The master glanced at Zhao Xuan in surprise, and then said with emotion.
"I also neglected this point. I didn't expect you to discover it."
Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "After all, I not only have to rely on my strength to survive, but also my brain."
The master was dumbfounded and looked at Zhao Xuan with some humor. At the same time, he suddenly felt a little pity in his heart. If he had pestered Zhao Xuan to let him be his apprentice, then his future achievements in theoretical research would definitely be much better than his own.
.
But then I thought about it, and the master's expression suddenly became a little silent. What's the use of theory? What the world sees is strength after all...
