Ning Tian told many stories about her childhood, while Xu Zihuang listened silently.
The distance between hearts is quietly getting closer.
Although their experiences from childhood to adulthood were different, they were both under tremendous pressure for various reasons. On this night, the two of them had a rare moment of complete relaxation and fell asleep hugging each other.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Xu Zihuang woke up. Since entering Shrek Academy, except for special circumstances, this was the first time that he did not choose to meditate at night.
This is actually what Ning Tian requested last night.
After such a long sleep, his energy and spirit returned to their best condition. His whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
And Ning Tian, who was leaning on his arm, slept soundly.
In the past period of time, Ning Tian's efforts in cultivation were even higher than Xu Zihuang's, and she spent almost all her free time immersed in meditation and cultivation. Xu Zihuang was so good that she had to spend more time
and energy to catch up with Xu Zihuang’s footsteps.
Xu Zihuang stood up gently and stared at Ning Tian silently for a moment. When he turned around and left, all the waves and touches in his heart returned to calm. There was only perseverance and depth in the deep purple eyes.
If there hadn't been that palace change, his life trajectory might have been completely different. There would be no need to give up on his feelings like he does now.
But he never resents his origins and past experiences. It is the past that has made him who he is now.
He is Xu Zihuang, the future emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire and the sole ruler of the continent.
"Xu Tianran, what doesn't belong to you doesn't belong to you after all." Xu Zihuang smiled in his heart and disappeared into the crystal elevator.
He has absolute confidence in his talent. The only thing he lacks now is time to grow. During the two and a half years he will study at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, his personal strength will inevitably make another leap.
According to his expectation, in the next sixth soul ring, he can start to absorb the hundred thousand year level soul ring. After all, his physical strength is here, and Tianmeng Iceworm can help seal the soul ring.
.
As long as he successfully hunts down a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Xu Zihuang is sure that he can absorb its soul ring.
…
Shrek Academy Poseidon Island, training ground.
The place where inner courtyard students practice actual combat is located on a hill about a hundred meters high on the east side of Poseidon Island. It is called a martial arts field or training ground.
The terrain here is only slightly lower than that of Poseidon Pavilion. The top of the mountain seems to have been flattened, and it is an irregular flat land about a hundred meters in diameter. The ground is paved with thick but uneven
The granite is connected with the mountains and is very solid.
When Xu Zihuang landed in the training ground, many people had gathered here.
The first people standing in the center of the training ground were Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, and Fan Yu, who had recently been appointed as a candidate for the deputy dean of the Soul Guidance Department.
In this exchange, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy will be led by Jing Hongchen himself. Yan Shaozhe happens to have the same status as Jing Hongchen, so he has shown enough attention and respect here.
Fan Yu was slightly behind Yan Shaozhe, and behind him were He Caitou and eight other top students from the inner courtyard of the Soul Guidance Department.
Although the inner court disciples of the Soul Guidance Department are far from comparable to the inner court disciples of the Martial Soul Department, being able to be trained by the Soul Guidance Department has their own advantages. Moreover, they have all studied in the Martial Soul Department for a period of time.
Being able to be admitted to Shrek Academy and not be eliminated means that their own martial arts and cultivation talents are not mediocre.
The eight inner court disciples of the Soul Guidance Department selected this time are all carefully selected. They all have the cultivation of fifth-ring soul kings and the ability of fifth-level soul masters and above. Even if they are placed in the Sun and Moon Empire, they are incompetent.
Plenty of talent.
Of course, the ability at the soul master level is definitely not as good as the soul masters from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Although the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy ranks among the best among the three empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, there is still an insurmountable gap between it and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
Try to learn the core knowledge of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and shorten the gap between them. This is also the main purpose of Xu Zihuang and others' trip.
At the edge of the training ground, Beibei, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan all arrived. When the four of them saw Xu Zihuang rushing over from outside the academy, the expressions on their faces suddenly became meaningful.
This is a long night.
Especially Xu Sanshi, a particularly lewd smile instantly appeared on his face. If it weren't for the fact that Youyan Shaozhe was present, the atmosphere at the scene was more serious. According to his character, he might have made some mean jokes.
.
Xu Zihuang looked calm and nodded slightly to Beibei and the other four, and then saluted Yan Shaozhe and Fan Yu.
"Dean Yan, Teacher Fanyu."
"Return to the team." Yan Shaozhe smiled warmly. Any academy will give preferential treatment to talented students. Not to mention that Yu Tianhuang has long been designated by Mr. Mu as the heir to the next generation of the Poseidon Pavilion.
Yu Tianhuang's status in Shrek Academy is not much lower than that of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the martial arts department. He is even more important to the academy than Yan Shaozhe.
What does it matter if you are a little late? No one will take a closer look.
"Yes, Dean Yan." Xu Zihuang responded, and at Fan Yu's signal came to stand next to He Caitou.
He Caitou smiled honestly at Xu Zihuang, and then looked at the sky together, waiting for the arrival of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy representative team.
At this moment, another person came onto the training ground. Seeing this person, everyone present had a look of surprise in their eyes.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard.
Zhang Lexuan is wearing a blue dress today, which makes her figure more slender. There is a light smile on her pretty face, which makes it easy for people to get close to her.
Xu Zihuang subconsciously looked at Zhang Lexuan, and the gentle and gentle senior sister from the inner courtyard smiled back.
"Senior Sister."
"Senior Sister."
"Sister Lexuan."
Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya all said hello to Zhang Lexuan. Even Xu Sanshi restrained himself a lot when facing Zhang Lexuan. They all respected the inner court senior sister from the bottom of their hearts.
.
Only Beibei's face looked a little unnatural. It was one thing to be happy for Zhang Lexuan's change, but when he really faced Zhang Lexuan, he would always feel guilty.
"Sister Lexuan, why are you here..."
"I just finished my retreat and learned about this exchange and study from Mr. Mu, so I came to see Tianhuang and the others off." Zhang Lexuan glanced at Beibei indifferently, with a smile on her face. Compared to Beibei's
If she feels guilty, she will appear much calmer.
Since untying the knot in her heart, Zhang Lexuan has devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation, striving to break through to the Title Douluo realm as soon as possible, inherit the position of deputy dean of the martial arts department, and contribute her own strength to Shrek Academy.
Even if the agreement with Mr. Mu no longer counts, she will find another way to repay Mr. Mu's kindness. Moreover, she has long regarded Shrek Academy as her home, and she is more willing to do whatever she wants.
The change in Wei's state of mind has made her cultivation speed significantly improve during this period compared to the past. This time of retreat, she successfully improved her soul power by one level.
Beibei is still a relative in her eyes, but she also values Yu Tianhuang very much.
Yu Tianhuang's talent is unique in the world, and the way he conducts himself makes her very fond of him. She now treats Beibei and Yu Tianhuang without any difference. They are all caring for their younger generations. Even Yu Tian
Huang expects more.
With Yu Tianhuang here, their Shrek Academy will be able to maintain its position as the number one in the mainland for at least hundreds of years.
"Uh..." Beibei was speechless for a moment, feeling empty in her heart for some reason.
Those who are favored always feel confident. When this preference and specialness disappear, there will inevitably be some psychological gap.
Suddenly a golden light flashed in the distance, attracting everyone's attention. Immediately in everyone's sight, the golden light turned into a pair of huge golden light wings up to ten meters wide, flapping gently.
The user of this strange flying soul guide is a short and fat middle-aged man. His identity is self-evident, it is Jing Hongchen, the leader of Mingde Hall.
The golden light film wrapped more than ten figures inside.
The light film is thin, soft, and has no metallic texture at all. The golden light flows on it, and it looks more like the wings of a flying soul beast.
"I didn't expect Mingdetang to have applied the bionics of soul guides to this extent." Fan Yu murmured to himself in shock.
In the past two years, Shrek Academy has made every effort to promote the development of the soul guidance system. Although the development speed of the soul guidance system is very impressive, at this time, Fan Yu deeply felt the connection between them and the soul guidance system of the Sun and Moon through this flying soul guidance device.
The essential gap between tutor colleges.
It's simply a cliff-like gap.
The gap in soul guidance technology of nearly a thousand years means that the two sides are not at the same level at all.
Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't have a deep understanding of soul guides, but this did not prevent him from seeing the intention of Jing Hongchen, the leader of Mingde Hall, to demonstrate.
Another breath of time passed, and Jing Hongchen, who had a chubby belly, led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy representative team to the opposite side of Xu Zihuang and others. The leader of the team was Mr. Ma, Ma Rulong's biological grandfather.
.
Jing Hongchen and Ma Rulong correspond to Yan Shaozhe and Fan Yu respectively.
Among the representatives of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were among them. The reserved Xiao Hongchen found Xu Zihuang at the beginning, his eyes were slightly focused. He was completely gone from the arrogance of two years ago.
Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, was excited and flushed. After two years of absence, she finally met Yu Tianhuang again. And as she grew older, Yu Tianhuang's appearance also underwent some subtle changes, and his facial lines changed.
She has become more mature and cool, and the nobility that comes from her bones is undoubtedly evident. These changes perfectly fit her aesthetics.
Five of the other eight people were members of the reserve team of the Sun and Moon Team in the last All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.
The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is also full of sincerity.
Jing Hongchen also locked eyes with Yu Tianhuang. He was also very curious about this proud man who had crushed his grandchildren head-on.
After looking at Xu Zihuang for a moment, he smiled and said to Yan Shaozhe: "Dean Yan, hello. I didn't expect that Dean Yan would come out in person today. I feel that your college attaches great importance to this exchange. I hope this time
After the exchange, both of us can gain something."
Yan Shaozhe's face was filled with a warm smile.
"Master Hongchen Hall, didn't you also come in person? We attach the same importance to this exchange."
Although Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are competitors to each other and have experienced countless confrontations in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition for thousands of years, there is no enmity.
.What’s more, this exchange is beneficial to both parties. There is no need to argue with words without any structure.
The power of words is empty. The source of the confidence of both parties is strength and foundation. After Jing Hongchen meets Mr. Mu, the effect of the demonstration will naturally be achieved.
"Master Hongchen Hall, please come with me to Poseidon Pavilion. My teacher wants to see you."
Jing Hongchen raised his eyebrows. According to the news from their Mingde Hall, Yan Shaozhe is already a super Douluo level expert. What kind of cultivation level should Yan Shaozhe's teacher have?
He had never heard of the existence of such a person in Shrek Academy.
But in order to not be weaker than Yan Shaozhe in terms of momentum, he could not ask rashly. He just followed Yan Shaozhe silently and drifted towards the Poseidon Pavilion.
At this time, in the center of the spacious training ground, there were only ten people who were communicating with Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, as well as the leading teachers from both sides.
Fan Yu and Mr. Ma both nodded politely to each other.
Opposite every Shrek Academy student, there will be a student from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Standing opposite Xu Zihuang was Xiao Hongchen, and beside Xiao Hongchen was Meng Hongchen.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen left and returned. Jing Hongchen no longer had the smiling and calm look before, and his small eyes were full of solemnity.
The foundation of Shrek Academy is deeper than he imagined.
Sure enough, if the empire wants to unify the continent, Shrek Academy is its number one enemy.
Shaozhe, on the other hand, smiled indifferently.
"Hall Master Hongchen, I think it's getting late. Since we have made an agreement before, let's start exchanging students now. On behalf of the Martial Arts Department of Shrek Academy, I welcome students from your academy to come and study."
"Okay. Then please ask Dean Yan to take more care of these students in our college." Jing Hongchen's expression returned to normal.
"Of course. At least I can guarantee that they can learn real things during their studies at Shrek Academy, and the door to the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy will also be open to them. I hope that Master Hongchen can also show his talents in this exchange and study.
Show enough sincerity.”
"It should be like this. The elites from Shrek Academy will definitely get the best education in Mingde Hall." Jing Hongchen laughed heartily.
During the conversation, the two had exchanged positions.
Jing Hongchen came to Xu Zihuang and others, while Yan Shaozhe came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy representative team.
Jing Hongchen smiled slightly.
"Dean Yan, please say goodbye."
"Master Hongchen Hall, walk slowly." Yan Shaozhe also smiled.
On the surface, it looked extremely harmonious, but as for what happened in the Poseidon Pavilion just now, only the two of them knew clearly among the people present.
Jing Hongchen turned around and looked at Fan Yu and the other students from Shrek Academy. His eyes stayed on Xu Zihuang for the longest time.
"This trip is a long one, so get ready to go. I, Master Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall, welcome you to join us on behalf of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."
After saying this, he once again released the strange flying soul guide he had used before. Two thin wings of golden light suddenly unfolded, slowly rising with his body, and then the pair of golden wings expanded out of thin air.
More than a thousand times.
A golden curtain of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone in it and propelling them into the sky.
Before leaving, Xu Zihuang's eyes swept over senior sister Zhang Lexuan, Beibei and others one by one, and finally the brothers Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
Looking to the west in the direction of Mingdu, he laughed at himself in his heart.
