Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

For the past week, Poison Undying has remained in Shrek City, at the Spirit Pagoda.

This has become his new daily routine. Every day at noon, he would first wander to the Sea God Pavilion to have a meal with Xuanzi. Their discussion about food was enough to scare any Sea God Pavilion member who happened to pass by. They were discussing how to concoct a deadly poison.

At this moment, Du Busi was drinking peppercorn, jujube, goji berry, and plum tea while watching the Lan sisters use their martial soul fusion technique on the training ground, fighting against Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan.

The sisters' "Hair Dance in the Sky" technique has become increasingly sophisticated. Their thousands of black hairs sometimes transform into a flexible barrier, and sometimes shoot out like sharp arrows, combining offense and defense in a well-structured manner.

After the battle ended, Poison Undying slowly put down his teacup and offered a few pointers on the key points.

His words were concise yet to the point, and the two sisters listened with shining eyes, nodding repeatedly.

The young members of the Spirit Pagoda all held a certain amount of respect for this serious "Poison Elder".

They knew that this was a teacher who taught the young tower master just like the tower master, and was also the pinnacle of the martial spirit path.

It was a rare opportunity to receive his guidance.

After the crowd dispersed, Du Bu Si walked slowly alone inside the tower, his heart filled with deeper emotions.

The longer he lingered there, the higher his opinion of the Spirit Pagoda became, not only for its profound formations and miraculous techniques, but also for the vibrant, inclusive atmosphere of the place.

This was completely different from the somewhat dull atmosphere of the Body Sect, which had been confined to one corner for many years, making this semi-retired old man feel more open-minded.

A few days later, one afternoon, Du Bu Si was chatting with Xuan Zi in a side hall of the Sea God Pavilion.

Poison Immortal took a sip of his uniquely flavored tea and said with a hint of regret:

"What a pity, I heard that Jing Hongchen from the Sun Moon Empire visited us a few days ago."

If I had known this would happen, I should have let him taste the wonders of my "Chaos Tea of ​​a Hundred Flavors of Heaven and Earth".

His fat body needed such a strange substance to cleanse and cleanse his intestines.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi recalled the spectacular expression on Jing Hongchen's face when he was at the banquet that day, struggling to suppress his nausea and turning green. He then imagined what it would be like if Jing Hongchen drank this "Chaos Tea" that had been poisoned to death, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Jing Hongchen: Luckily I ran fast.

……

As dawn broke, Zi Ji brought Huo Yutong back to the Spirit Pagoda. Du Busi naturally learned about Huo Yutong's new soul skill first, and in order to better teach Huo Yutong, Du Busi decided to stay in the Spirit Pagoda for a while longer.

However, to the surprise of both him and Moon, a momentous event that would shake the entire continent and change the entire era would occur in just six months.

Next, Huo Yutong went to the Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En sat quietly in the pavilion. When he saw Huo Yutong, his gaze was gentle: "Yutong, from today onwards, you are an inner courtyard disciple."

From now on, you will spend two days a week studying with me, two days learning about soul tools from Fan Yu, and one day studying theory with Wang Yan. The remaining two days will be spent studying with Du Bu Si.

He paused slightly, a kind look appearing in his eyes, "You're still young, don't push yourself too hard. If you feel tired, you can tell us anytime."

The path of cultivation is long, and I am still in good health. There is plenty of time, so you don't need to be impatient or put too much pressure on yourself.

Huo Yutong felt a warmth in her heart and bowed solemnly, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

"The other six eccentrics from your cohort have also been directly promoted to the Inner Academy," Mu En continued. "From now on, you will all be studying in the Inner Academy, where you can look after each other."

As for the third-year assessment, it was no longer necessary for Huo Yutong, who had already reached the Soul King realm at the age of thirteen and possessed twin martial souls.

Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Xiao Xiao were also admitted to the Inner Academy without taking the entrance exam due to their outstanding performance in the Soul Master Competition and the fact that their soul power had all exceeded level 35.

Meanwhile, the promotion assessment for Class 1, Grade 3, had just ended.

Wang Dong had already broken through to the fourth ring during the Soul Master Competition, and his fourth soul ring was a rare ten-thousand-year level. His soul power was as high as level 43. Apart from Huo Yutong and Ning Tian, ​​his soul power was second only to Dai Huabin in the class.

Even for Dai Huabin, the fourth ring is still a thousand years old.

Wang Dong played with the flowing light on his fingertips, his heart filled with anticipation: What kind of expression would Huo Yutong have if she saw my ten-thousand-year soul ring?

After the assessment, Zhou Yi announced to the class that Huo Yutong, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Xiao Xiao had been directly promoted to the Inner Academy due to their outstanding performance in the Soul Master Competition.

"If it weren't for the need to keep my second martial soul a secret, why would I be staying here?" Wang Dong thought to herself.

She didn't know when it started, but she always found herself paying attention to everything about Huo Yutong—as if there was an invisible pull that made it impossible for her to ignore that figure.

The same applies to Dai Huabin.

"Huo Yutong, I will catch up with you." He murmured to himself, but the image of those bright eyes looking at him, with a hint of coldness in them, floated into his mind.

He remembered that their first encounter was during the final round of the freshman assessment, and they should have had no prior interaction.

But why was he so concerned about her from the very first glance?

Subsequently, the selection of a new class leader began.

Although Cao Jinxuan only had three rings, he won the majority of support with his approachability and sense of responsibility, and was ultimately elected.

The role of class monitor is not only about the level of soul power, but also about assisting teachers, communicating with classmates, and resolving conflicts.

Dai Huabin and Wang Dong, one aloof and taciturn, the other proud and unconventional, had no close friends in the class. It wasn't that they couldn't, but rather that they were unwilling.

When the election results were announced, the two men remained calm, as if they had known all along.

Led by Xiao Xiao, who had been enrolled in the Inner Academy for several days, Huo Yutong officially began her visit to this sacred place that all Shrek students longed for.

The environment and facilities in the inner courtyard were indeed quite different from those in the outer courtyard.

The dormitories are all independent single rooms, spacious and bright, and elegantly furnished.

As Xiao Xiao walked, she introduced, "Your room is right next to mine. Sister Xiaoya, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng also live on the same floor as us."

To make it easier for them to attend classes and cultivate in the future, everyone simply moved into the inner courtyard dormitory. After all, this is where the academy's elite reside, so the standard amenities are naturally the best.

The two strolled out of the dormitory area, and the scenery before them suddenly opened up.

The first thing that catches the eye is the renowned Poseidon Lake.

It was early morning, and a thin layer of mist shrouded the lake, which shimmered with tiny golden spots under the rising sun.

The lake water is crystal clear, and occasionally fish of unusual colors swim by leisurely, their scales reflecting a rainbow-like luster.

Poseidon Island in the center of the lake appears and disappears, its lush greenery and ancient architectural outlines resembling a fairyland in the mist.

"Poseidon Lake is truly beautiful; the scenery is completely different depending on the time of day and the season. I love the lake most at dusk, when the setting sun turns the entire lake a golden-red hue..."

The Sea God's Fate Tournament is being held on this very lake... I've been looking forward to it for a long time. It's a pity we have to wait more than four years to participate," Xiao Xiao said.

She turned to look at Huo Yutong and smiled, "But then we can go together."

Imagine how beautiful it would be if the lake were illuminated by hundreds of lotus lanterns at night.

Huo Yutong listened quietly, her gaze sweeping over every scene and object in the inner courtyard.

A brand new life is about to begin.
