Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

Seen sideways as a peak on the side of the ridge, the height varies from far to far.

If one day the winds of change rise, the azure dragon will raise its head and shatter the heavens.

awkward.

Zhang Lexuan reacted even faster. She directly activated her soul power to quickly evaporate the moisture on her clothes, and even used the light released by her Moon Martial Soul to shield her body.

Um...

It's a bit like trying to cover something up.

After all, unless it's a fish's memory, once you see something like that, you shouldn't forget it for a while.

Xu Tianming also wanted to evaporate the moisture from his clothes, but...

After half an hour of assistance, his soul power was completely depleted.

Adding 95 to a chariot at the level of a seventh-ring Soul Saint is a real drain on soul power! Otherwise, he wouldn't have almost been killed by the mountain spring water just now.

and...

Because of his soul power connection with Zhang Lexuan, he inevitably became tainted with some... the scent of medicine.

It wasn't as serious as Zhang Lexuan's, but it still caused his body to have an instinctive reaction.

Normally, he might be able to control himself, but not now.

He had already suffered serious injuries during the fierce battle with the Blood Hand Evil Soul Master, and then his soul power was depleted in a short period of time. Even his current body couldn't withstand this kind of intensity.

With no other option, Xu Tianming could only sit cross-legged on the spot, take out the milk bottle from his storage soul tool, and quickly repair his soul power.

However, he will feel very uncomfortable in this position until the effects of the medication wear off.

Zhang Lexuan moved quickly, and in just a few dozen seconds, her soaked clothes became dry, and her long black hair became smooth and flowing.

However, after the light faded, she looked at Xu Tianming, who was sitting cross-legged recovering his soul power, and her gaze was still unconsciously locked on a certain place.

The effects of the medication had quickly dissipated as the bottleneck was broken, but Zhang Lexuan still felt her cheeks were burning.

She quickly turned her back, but then she remembered that Xu Tianming had exhausted all his soul power helping her break through the bottleneck, and he couldn't even evaporate the water on his clothes with his soul power. She felt a little sorry for him.

So, she quickly walked behind Xu Tianming, placed her hand on his shoulder, and her Soul Saint-level Soul Power surged, rapidly evaporating the moisture on Xu Tianming's body.

Time passed by, and with the help of the baby bottle in his assistant's hand, Xu Tianming quickly replenished his soul power.

Feeling the abundant soul power in his dantian, Xu Tianming let out a long sigh of relief.

I feel safer when I have soul power!

Without soul power and with a weak body, even the spring water could kill him single-handedly!

He slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhang Lexuan behind him.

"Thank you, Sister Lexuan."

When his soul power was restored, he was able to sense his own condition and knew that Zhang Lexuan had helped him dry the moisture on his clothes.

Zhang Lexuan pursed her lips and said, "I should be thanking you. You not only helped me solve the problem... but you also helped me break through my cultivation level. Little brother, thank you."

Xu Tianming smiled, stood up, and patted the bits of grass off his bottom.

"Sister Lexuan, you're too kind. If it weren't for your timely intervention, I might have died at the hands of that Blood Hand Evil Soul Master!"

Although he still had some trump cards up his sleeve, if Zhang Lexuan didn't show up in time, he could only hold on for a few more minutes at most.

All I can say is that this assessment was utterly outrageous!

If it hadn't been Zhang Lexuan who came this time, but instead an inner court disciple with Soul Emperor cultivation, or even someone as unreliable as Xuanzi...

Slow!

Xu Tianming's eyes narrowed suddenly as he looked at Zhang Lexuan, frowning as he asked, "Sister Lexuan, do you know who assigned me this task?"

The task he was given was indeed given to him by Elder Mu, but he had a feeling that it wasn't personally chosen by Elder Mu, but rather by Xuanzi!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and said, "Elder Mu asked me to be the examiner for this assessment mission, but Elder Mu hasn't been in charge of Shrek Academy's inspection team missions for many years. Your mission will most likely be chosen by another elder or an inner court teacher."

Elder Mu, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion and concurrently the head of the Shrek Academy's inspection team, has delegated many matters to other elders of the Sea God Pavilion due to health reasons.

"really..."

Xu Tianming's lips twitched slightly.

Zhang Lexuan said it was another senior elder or inner court teacher, but he was almost certain that it was Xuanzi who chose this task.

It's not that Xuanzi wanted to harm him; after all, he hadn't had any contact with Xuanzi yet, and most of the academy's intelligence came from the Heavenly Soul Empire's military, but...

Xuanzi is a stereotype; he's notoriously unreliable.

Fortunately, this time it turned out to be a close call.

Moreover, it was very rewarding!

His cultivation level rose from level 38 to the peak of level 39! This almost saved him several months of arduous training.

Even though this surge in cultivation level requires time to consolidate, it has greatly shortened the time it takes for him to reach level 40.

"Sister Lexuan, what do you think of my assessment this time? Did I pass?"

Putting aside his thoughts for the moment, Xu Tianming looked at Zhang Lexuan and asked about the assessment.

This assessment is crucial to whether he can skip the second year, skip the outer academy, and go directly into the inner academy!

Zhang Lexuan nodded seriously and said, "Of course it passed!"

Although she intervened during Xu Tianming's battle against the Blood Hand Evil Soul Master, it did not diminish Xu Tianming's outstanding performance.

A three-ring Soul Master, who withstood a six-ring Soul Emperor for several minutes, and who was also an evil Soul Master, even a martial soul evil Soul Master in his true form!

In the end, they even burned the Blood Hand Evil Soul Master to ashes!

This ability has already surpassed that of many inner court disciples.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be so strong, little brother!"

Zhang Lexuan looked amazed.

She herself was hailed as a genius rarely seen in the academy's history, but Xu Tianming...

This is a rare sight, perhaps even once in a thousand or ten thousand years!

"It was alright, if it weren't for Sister Lexuan's help, I probably would have been killed by that guy..."

Xu Tianming shook his head and said.

If he were truly just an ordinary Soul Master, that would indeed be something to be proud of, but he is not.

His role models were never his peers.

The two stayed in the mountains for a few more days, helping the Heavenly Soul Empire's military to wipe out the escaped bandits. Only after the bandits were almost completely eliminated did the two set off back to Shrek Academy.

On the way back, since the assessment was already over, there was no rush.

Under the cool moonlight at night, Xu Tianming and Zhang Lexuan sat on a patch of grass, with a campfire sparking beside them. The orange flames made their faces turn slightly red.

After finishing dinner, Xu Tianming began to meditate. He needed to consolidate his rapidly increasing cultivation level and prepare for breaking through the level 40 bottleneck.

Zhang Lexuan poked at the campfire in front of her with a branch, occasionally glancing at Xu Tianming, who was lost in meditation, her mind flashing back to their intimate encounter a few days ago...
