This joy was not only because he had fused with a soul bone that suited him very well, but more so because of the inspiration he received from Yu Tianhuang.

When a Soul Master fuses with a Soul Bone, it's similar to normal cultivation; they can sense their surroundings. She knew that Yu Tianhuang had been watching over her for almost the entire night.

Xu Zihuang led Ning Tian to the windowsill, looking out at the misty Sea God Lake, and told Ning Tian the entire Extreme Individual Soldier Plan and the cultivation plan that Elder Mu had made for him.

Ning Tian raised her head and looked up at Xu Zihuang, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

The boys she chose were always so dazzling.

"I will also try my best to get into the inner academy and keep up with you." Her gentle voice carried a hint of determination.

At her cultivation speed, she will definitely be able to break through to the Soul Master realm within two years. A four-ring Soul Master will qualify her to participate in the Inner Academy assessment, and with the powerful support capabilities of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, entering the Inner Academy will not be difficult.

Xu Zihuang smiled and nodded, then said as if sensing something, "Let's go, Senior Sister Xiaoya and Senior Brother Bei should be coming out soon."

After saying that, the two walked out of the room hand in hand.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei just happened to come out of the next room. Tang Ya's pretty face was full of joy, and she greeted Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian excitedly as soon as she saw them.

"Tianhuang, Ning Tian, ​​junior sister."

While Tang Ya was unconscious, out of a sense of indebtedness to the Tang Sect, Elder Mu used the power of the Golden Tree to cleanse the impurities in her meridians. The cleansing effect of the Golden Tree's light and life force was undoubtedly several times stronger than that of the Profound Water Pill.

Tang Ya's soul power not only broke through two levels to reach level thirty-five, but her cultivation speed also significantly improved compared to before. At this rate, she should have no problem breaking through to the Soul Master realm and graduating smoothly within the year or so before sixth grade. She might even be able to participate in the inner court's assessment.

How could she not be excited to be able to stay at Shrek Academy and stay by Beibei's side?

Following behind Tang Ya, Bei Bei crossed her arms and supported her neck, a hint of helplessness showing on her gentle and refined face.

"Xiaoya."

Tang Ya then realized what Bei Bei had told her and quickly covered her mouth, revealing her girlish charm.

Just then, Elder Mu's gentle voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Go ahead, everyone."

The four of them respectfully bowed towards the depths of the Sea God Pavilion before leaving.

As soon as they left the area where the Sea God Pavilion was located, Tang Ya couldn't hold back any longer. She took Ning Tian's hand and asked in surprise, "Junior Sister Ning Tian, ​​were you and Tian Huang also brought here by that senior from the Sea God Pavilion?"

"Mm." Ning Tian nodded gently with a graceful smile.

"I never imagined our academy had such an extraordinary senior," Tang Ya exclaimed.

When the Tang Sect was in decline, it was Shrek Academy that gave them one enrollment spot each year. Although she had complained that Shrek Academy hadn't helped the Tang Sect, she also knew very well that the academy's neutral stance meant it couldn't do anything.

The great favor that Elder Mu has bestowed upon her has soothed the only knot in her heart.

Soon the four of them arrived at the steep bluestone mountain road. Xu Zihuang, who was standing next to Beibei behind the two girls, gave a soft reminder.

"The road ahead is difficult to travel, be careful."

Tang Ya turned her head and grinned at Xu Zihuang.

"Tianhuang, so many senior and junior students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department used to be interested in you, but you ignored them all. I thought you were a blockhead, but I didn't expect you to be so caring."

Xu Zihuang replied jokingly, "Senior Xiaoya, I'm not reminding you, I'm reminding Ning Tian."

"You, Tianhuang, you've forgotten about your senior sister now that you have a girlfriend, haven't you?" Tang Ya continued, following Xu Zihuang's words, and deliberately put her hands on her hips, pretending to glare at him angrily.

However, she didn't maintain this expression for long before bursting into laughter. She stuck out her tongue at Xu Zihuang and then quickly pulled Ning Tian ahead.

Although the mountain path was steep, with their soul power at level 30-something, they weren't in any danger. Moreover, Tang Ya thoughtfully had Ning Tian walk on the side of the path closest to the mountainside.

Ning Tian watched Xu Zihuang and Tang Ya's interaction, her beautiful eyes brimming with smiles. She also grew increasingly close to Tang Ya. Although Tang Ya seemed carefree and easygoing, her words and actions demonstrated exceptionally high emotional intelligence.

Of all the people Xu Zihuang met at Shrek Academy, he actually really enjoyed spending time with Tang Ya, who was kind-hearted and simple-minded. It wasn't just her personality that he liked; another reason was that he saw a shadow of someone from the past in her.

Those were all memories from his childhood. During that palace coup, nearly a thousand people from the Zihuang Prince's Mansion were wiped out by Xu Tianran's family. That old friend was most likely no longer alive.

Beibei patted Xu Zihuang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, Tianhuang."

Xu Zihuang then realized that they had fallen behind Tang Ya and Ning Tian by dozens of meters.

Beibei didn't ask Xu Zihuang about the Body Sect coming to their door yesterday, because Xu Zihuang's presence here was enough to explain everything.

About fifteen minutes later, the four of them arrived at the valley at the foot of the mountain.

Strictly speaking, it can't really be called a valley, because the mountains on both sides are only a couple hundred meters high. The area of ​​the valley is even smaller than Shrek Square.

The valley was filled with flowers of various colors. Tang Ya, no longer restrained, cheered, opened her arms, closed her eyes, and carefully smelled the refreshing fragrance of flowers in the air.

"I've made up my mind, Beibei. I'm determined to get into the Inner Academy and live on this Seagod Island." Tang Ya turned around and looked at Beibei next to Xu Zihuang.

"This place is so beautiful."

Beibei's eyes were full of doting affection.

"it is good."

Ning Tian watched Bei Bei and Tang Ya interact, his smile unwavering, but a barely perceptible hint of envy flickered in his eyes.

Xu Zihuang glanced around and picked the most beautiful blue-purple iris, tucking it into Ning Tian's platinum-gold hair.

The two exchanged a smile, and the sweetness was no longer limited to the fragrance of irises.

A strange smile flickered in Tang Ya's dark eyes, and then she pouted and grumbled at Bei Bei.

"Beibei, I want one too. And it can't be worse than the one Tianhuang gave to Ningtian!"

"I'll find it for you right away."

Beibei readily agreed. But finding one better than the one in Ning Tian's hair was unrealistic. That one had been carefully selected by Xu Zihuang using his astonishing eyesight with his Golden Eyes.

However, Tang Ya wasn't the kind of person to make a fuss unnecessarily. What he valued was actually Bei Bei's feelings.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the group arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake. Xu Zihuang informed Bei Bei and Tang Ya about his upcoming Extreme Solo Project. Tang Ya immediately suggested that they take advantage of Xu Zihuang's last day of free time to relax and have some fun in Shrek City.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian readily agreed.

Just then, Xu Zihuang suddenly turned around and glanced at the location of the Sea God Pavilion. He only looked away and followed after Tang Ya urged him from ahead.

In front of the Sea God Pavilion, a woman with a serene and gentle demeanor gazed quietly ahead. Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her delicate face was fair and flawless. Her stunning beauty made her appear to be only around twenty-five years old, but her dark eyes were filled with a complex mix of loneliness and relief.

"Sister Lexuan, are the fruits on the tree edible? Can you pick some for me?"

"it is good……"

"Sister Lexuan, you're so beautiful. Will you marry me when you grow up?"

"it is good……"

"Sister Lexuan, I'm tired from walking."

"Sister will carry you on her back..."

Her boy had grown into a handsome young man, but he no longer belonged to her.

She suddenly realized that Beibei no longer seemed to attract her attention as much as before, nor was she as dazzling as she remembered. The feeling she had for her was now more of a familial affection.

This sudden realization elevated her entire being. It was a profound and mysterious feeling, incredibly coincidental yet perfectly logical.

"Le Xuan, you've suffered so much these past years." Old Master Mu's kind voice rang in Zhang Le Xuan's ears, carrying a hint of relief.

Before his death, besides wanting to train Yu Tianhuang to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire, this was the other thing he was most worried about.

He had stated more than once that Zhang Lexuan no longer needed to keep that vow. But she insisted on it almost obsessively. Only today has this opportunity arisen.

Chapter 215 The Cruel Reality

Water mist churned on the calm surface of Poseidon Lake, and the clear, cool water gently washed over the shore, making a crisp, splashing sound.

The morning sun shines through the mist, creating a bright path through which the tiny, crystal-clear water droplets can be clearly seen.

Tang Ya, arm in arm with Ning Tian, ​​arrived at the shore. Looking at the boundless Sea God Lake, she was immediately dumbfounded.

"How are we going to get out of here?"

The excitement she felt vanished abruptly, and only now did she consider this issue.

“I’ve seen senior students and teachers from the inner academy traveling between Poseidon Island and the outer academy in small boats several times. There should be some spare boats on the lake. Let’s look along the shore first,” Beibei said with a smile.

Having grown up on Poseidon Island, he was naturally very familiar with the place. However, fearing to put too much pressure on Tang Ya, he did not plan to reveal his relationship with Elder Mu for the time being.

Although his approach to Tang Ya to join the Tang Clan was on the instructions of Elder Mu.

Xu Zihuang, standing next to Beibei, smiled warmly.

"Senior Brother Bei, Senior Sister Xiaoya, there's really no need to go to so much trouble."

"Huh?" Tang Ya looked at Xu Zihuang with a blank expression, while Ning Tian and Bei Bei recalled a small detail from the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament a month ago, in the match between Yu Tianhuang and Xiao Hongchen.

Xu Zihuang stepped forward to Tang Ya and Ning Tian's side, demonstrating the meaning of his words through his actions. His deep purple eyes instantly transformed into a brilliant gold. Three purple and one black spirit rings, four powerful enough to startle anyone, rose one after another from beneath his feet.

Fortunately, he deliberately concealed his aura, so that Tang Ya and Ning Tian were not affected by his soul power pressure.

A magnificent purple light burst forth, and strange dark red ripples covered the space within a radius of several hundred meters in front of him. Thin, mirror-like dark red crystals condensed and took shape in this space.

The dark red crystal mirror seemed to be embedded in this space, and its downward trend was unusually slow.

These were, of course, the masterpieces of Xu Zihuang using his second soul skill, Mirror of Annihilation. This soul skill essentially transformed tangible, intangible soul power into tangible, dark red crystals. Moreover, he could precisely control the effects of this soul skill with his powerful mental strength, changing the hardness and weight of the crystals at will.

These dark red crystal mirrors, formed from aggregates, have a weight that is almost zero, yet they are hard enough to support an adult stepping on them without breaking.

The crystal mirror is completely sealed, and it also experiences some air resistance during its descent, which creates this effect.

This is also the principle behind his use of the second soul skill, Mirror of Annihilation, to fly through the air.

Tang Ya was slightly stunned by the scene before her. It was simply too beautiful; the thin crystal mirror reflected a magnificent halo, and the crystal's original dark red color was dazzling. It was like a scene from a painting.

Ning Tian's reaction was no better than Tang Ya's. Although she was much more mature than her peers because of her background, this could not erase the sensitivity inherent in a young girl's nature.

Only Bei Bei glanced at Xu Zihuang with a strange expression. Xu Zihuang's astonishing control over his soul skills was something Bei Bei could never achieve.

Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand and said gently, "Let me take you there."

"Mmm." Ning Tian snapped out of her reverie, looked up to meet Xu Zihuang's gaze, and nodded gently. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of shyness and anticipation.

For a support-type Soul Master like her, using the support of these crystal mirrors to traverse such a vast Sea God Lake is indeed very difficult.

Xu Zihuang gently lifted Ning Tian up, his arms around her waist. He could clearly feel Ning Tian's soft, delicate body tense up for a moment before slowly relaxing.

The two had embraced intimately that night in Xingluo City. But this was the first time they had been in this position.

Ning Tian held down the hem of her yellow school uniform with one hand, while her other arm was draped over Xu Zihuang's shoulder, and she was holding the blue-purple iris that Xu Zihuang had picked for her.
