Douluo Continent: My name is Yang Jian, and I achieved sainthood through my physical body

It's important to understand that in a place like the Spirit Hall, connections are sometimes more important than strength.

These people might become my help in the future.

Maintaining the relationship is also important.

……

Yang Jian calmly dealt with the people who tried to get close to her for a while.

soon.

The gates of the Spirit Hall appeared in front of them.

Yang Jian was about to leave.

But then I heard a series of hurried footsteps behind me.

"Yang Jian!"

Hu Liena came running up, panting, her chestnut hair disheveled by the wind, and a hint of anger on her delicate face.

"Why didn't you tell me you were going out to gain experience?" She stood in front of Yang Jian, hands on her hips, glaring at him angrily. "If the teacher hadn't mentioned it earlier, I wouldn't have known!"

Yang Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this.

"Don't make it sound like a life-or-death separation." He reached out and tidied her wind-blown hair. "It's just going out for training, not like you're never coming back."

Hu Liena bit her lip, her eyes reddening slightly.

"Take me with you."

“No.” Yang Jian shook his head decisively. “Senior Brother Xie Yue told me that you have to participate in the elite training program and can’t follow me.”

Hu Liena remained silent.

The Elite Training Program is the most prestigious training program in the Spirit Hall. Countless people would fight tooth and nail to get in, and once enrolled, there is no way to withdraw.

"Then... then remember to come back soon, I'll be waiting for you."

Hu Liena's voice lowered, tinged with reluctance. She then stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Yang Jian's waist, and buried her face in his chest.

"I'll give you a gift when you come back."

Her voice was very soft, so soft that only Yang Jian could hear it, and her face was slightly flushed.

Yue Guan stood to the side watching this scene, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a very standard auntie smile.

Young people have such a good relationship.

"understood."

Yang Jian nodded, feeling the pressure from Hu Liena.

He wasn't sure what the gift meant, but he didn't ask any further questions.

The two hugged quietly for a while.

"Alright." Yang Jian released his hand. "Go back now."

Hu Liena hummed in agreement, but did not move.

At this moment, Yue Guan had already summoned a luxurious carriage, which was parked outside the gate.

He wisely refrained from urging them and simply stood patiently by the car, waiting.

Yang Jian turned and walked towards the carriage, then boarded it.

He leaned out of the car window and waved to Hu Liena.

"Go back quickly."

Hu Liena stood there, biting her lip.

The carriage slowly started moving.

Hu Liena watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, the figure leaning out of the window growing smaller and smaller until it became a blurry outline and vanished at the end of the road.

She secretly made up her mind.

I must break through to the Soul King level next time we meet.

We can't afford to fall too far behind Yang Jian!

Chapter 27 Yan's Vicious Plan

And when Yang Jian left.

Yan hid behind a half-open window high up, staring intently at the carriage that was gradually disappearing into the distance, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

His knuckles were white, and his nails were almost digging into his flesh, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

At this moment, Yan's chest was churning with many indescribable emotions.

Helplessness, anger, resentment, and a deep-seated hatred.

Six years.

For the past six years, he has been cultivating his skills like a madman.

They go to the training ground before dawn and don't return until dark.

He cultivates while others rest, and he cultivates while others sleep.

He thought he could catch up with Yang Jian.

He thought he could prove to everyone that he had just been careless six years ago.

But now?

Yang Jian has already broken through level fifty.

He only needs to acquire one more soul ring to become a Soul King.

Not only did I fail to catch up, I was left even further behind.

Six years of hard work seem like a joke.

Resentment flashed in Yan's eyes, and the scene from six years ago resurfaced in his mind.

On the training ground, he was cleaved away by Yang Jian's sword and fell to the ground, coughing up blood. The people around him pointed and talked about it.

"Senior Brother Yan was defeated in one move?"

Who is that child?

"Isn't Senior Brother Yan usually quite formidable?"

"How come he can't even beat a child?"

These voices pierced my heart.

However, what he found even more unbearable was Hu Liena's attitude.

Since Yang Jian arrived, Hu Liena has become increasingly distant from him. She used to talk to him, but now she doesn't even look at him properly.

She only had eyes for Yang Jian.

"Yang Jian!"

Yan took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turning gloomy.

Yang Jian used to stay in the Spirit Hall.

He can't help it.

But now the other party has left the Spirit Hall to go out and train.

Yue Guan was the only one by her side.

The opportunity is coming!

He turned and went deeper into the room, taking a piece of parchment and a pen from a drawer.

After a moment's thought, I began to write on it.

"To Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."

His handwriting was hasty and hurried, as if he was afraid he would change his mind.

After writing it down, he read it over again to make sure he hadn't left any trace that could lead back to him. Only then did he roll the parchment into a thin tube and seal it with wax.

"The Spirit Hall has produced a twelve-year-old Soul King. Ning Fengzhi must be very interested in this news."

Yan sneered and quickly stuffed the mailbox into his pocket.

Those high and mighty sects are most afraid of the emergence of an unparalleled genius from the Spirit Hall.

Especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; that old fox Ning Fengzhi will definitely not sit idly by.

Yang Jian, you're going to die.

……

Meanwhile, the carriage was slowly moving along the official road.

The interior of the carriage was extremely comfortable, with soft cushions, an exquisite small table, and a pot of warm tea.

The sound of wheels rolling over the road was monotonous and rhythmic, almost soporific.

Yue Guan leaned against the side of the carriage, closed his eyes to rest, and casually asked, "Where to go first?"

"I'll go back and check on my brother and sister first," Yang Jian said, sitting opposite him and looking at the scenery rushing past the window. "Then I'll take a trip around the Tiandou Empire and see what's going on."

Yue Guan nodded and said nothing more.

With his strength, traveling by flying with Yang Jian would certainly be faster.

But that would consume too much soul power, and if danger were encountered along the way, the consequences would be unpredictable.

To be on the safe side, it's better to take a horse-drawn carriage.

Anyway, they have plenty of time.

……

Two months later.
