The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Inside the quiet room, Elder Mu's figure had vanished at some point, leaving only Vina, who had regained consciousness.

Vina lay in a daze on the pure white, lustrous ice bed. Although her complexion had become much rosier, the evil energy of the Dark Demon God Tiger within her heart meridian had not been dispelled. It had only been temporarily suppressed by the ice bed and Elder Mu's power of light.

The chilling aura lingering in her heart made her feel cold all over. Even though she was an ice-attribute Soul Master, she was completely unable to block the corrosive influence of this chilling aura.

She sat up, gently wrapping her arms around her knees, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Is this really the only way..." She bit her red lips lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with even more shyness.

Through her conversation with that senior, she learned about her physical condition. Given that senior's cultivation level and status in Shrek Academy, he certainly wouldn't deliberately deceive her.

But that would be too embarrassing.

Although the final choice is in her own hands.

Vina looked to be only about fifteen years old, her shapely figure encased in a light yellow outfit. Naturally beautiful, her large, bright eyes sparkled with a delicate, almost fragile quality, making her the complete opposite of Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiujiu has a proud and assertive personality, while Vina always exudes a subtle gentleness that makes her endearing and pitiful.

As she was lost in thought, the door to the quiet room suddenly opened. She instinctively looked up and saw a tall, handsome young man.

The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, with long black hair cascading down his back, interspersed with a few strands of eerie purple hair.

Her exquisite features were flawless, her deep purple eyes, exuding an air of nobility, were filled with gentle warmth, and her slightly aloof face was adorned with a warm smile. There was a striking contrast, yet a harmonious balance. She irresistibly drew attention, especially from the opposite sex.

The person who arrived was Xu Zihuang, who had been notified by Elder Mu.

Even Wang Dong is inferior to Xu Zihuang in terms of appearance, so the impact on Princess Vina is quite obvious.

Vina was clearly surprised. She stared at Xu Zihuang's face for a while before she calmed down.

It's human nature to love beautiful things, and even this princess is no exception. The senior from Shrek Academy just said that although the evil energy of the Dark Demon God Tiger within her heart meridian has been temporarily sealed by the Eternal Ice Bed and the power of light, it will continue to affect her body unless it is completely resolved. It could even potentially impact her future cultivation and development.

However, dispelling the evil energy emanating from the Dark Demon God Tiger requires physical contact, and the only person capable of helping her dispel it is a man. That's why she was in that previous posture.

But now, seeing Xu Zihuang's top-tier looks, while a sense of shame arose in her heart, the feeling of rejection immediately lessened considerably.

It doesn't seem so hard to accept anymore.

Xu Zihuang stared straight at Vina, his gaze gentle and calm.

In his eyes, Vina's status as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire held no advantage whatsoever. This wasn't just his original personality; even the persona he presented as Yu Tianhuang was the same.

For a genius of his caliber, the only people he could show even a little respect were top experts like Elder Xuan and Elder Mu.

“Princess Vina, hello. Elder Mu has already told me about your situation. I can help you resolve the evil energy of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in your heart meridian.”

The shyness in Vina's beautiful eyes disappeared, replaced by surprise and curiosity.

Among her peers, Xu Zihuang was the first to remain so composed after learning of her identity as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Moreover, Yu Tianhuang's familiar accent made her feel especially close to him.

"You have a northern accent from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Are you also from the Heavenly Soul Empire?"

The Douluo Continent is incredibly vast. Even the Heavenly Soul Empire, whose territory isn't particularly large among the four great empires, still spans a considerable distance from north to south. It's perfectly normal to have a wide variety of accents.

The central and northern parts of the Heavenly Soul Empire, as well as this northern region, are located inland. They are not bordered by the Sun Moon, Douling, and Star Luo kingdoms to the west, east, and south. To the north lies the far north, which is known as a forbidden zone for humans. The accents of the people living in this region are entirely inherited from the Heavenly Dou Empire ten thousand years ago.

Although Xu Zihuang had never lived in this area, his amazing memory made it entirely possible for him to replicate his mother's accent. How could he not have made some preparations before entering Shrek Academy?

“My name is Yu Tianhuang, and I come from Dragon City in the northern part of the Tianhun Empire,” Xu Zihuang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Vina couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"You are Yu Tianhuang?!"

Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly, secretly guessing that the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family might have investigated his situation, after all, his performance in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament had been too outstanding. However, his eyes remained calm as he nodded to Vina.

At only twelve years old, he broke through to the Soul Master realm. His Soul Ring configuration was an unconventional three purple and one black. In the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, facing the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy led by the Soul King, he achieved the feat of fighting seven opponents single-handedly. In later matches, he played a crucial role as the main control Soul Master of the Shrek Academy team, ultimately defeating the legendary siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, hailed as geniuses rarely seen in thousands of years by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, in the finals, thus securing victory. Moreover, he is a genius with twin martial souls, and his second martial soul is highly likely to be the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Vina recalled information about Yu Tianhuang in her mind.

Xu Zihuang's guess was correct; the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family had indeed conducted a special investigation into his situation. A genius of this caliber, especially one from their own country, would certainly be someone they would try their best to win over if given the opportunity.

When Vina learned of this, she developed a strong interest in Yu Tianhuang. Although they both possessed twin martial souls, Yu Tianhuang completely overwhelmed her in every way. However, what she didn't expect was that Yu Tianhuang was not only exceptionally talented, but also possessed such perfect looks and temperament.

"Are you really only twelve years old?" Vina looked at Xu Zihuang, who was tall and slender and already looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and suddenly asked a question out of the blue.

Xu Zihuang did not answer Vina's question, but instead looked directly into the princess's eyes and smiled slightly.

“Princess Vina, I think the most urgent task right now is to dispel the evil energy of the Dark Demon Tiger in your heart meridian. But in the process of dispelling it, it will inevitably come into contact with your body. So, the final decision is up to you.”

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Their eyes met, and Vina blushed slightly as she hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

As a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, she wasn't as arrogant as Xu Jiujiu, but she still had a sense of the bigger picture. While there might be some good-for-nothings among the royal family, those who enjoyed better education and resources were, under normal circumstances, likely to be more outstanding than ordinary people.

Compared to her future cultivation and development, she could accept just physical contact.

Vina lay back down on the Eternal Ice Bed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly as she closed her beautiful eyes.

Looking at the delicate and beautiful Princess Vina, a strange emotion swept through Xu Zihuang's heart. He was also a healthy man, both physically and mentally. However, compared to lust and possessiveness towards women, he valued something more.

However, at this moment, he was deliberately amplifying this strange feeling in his heart. Because he knew that Elder Mu would definitely see through some of his actions.

If a person is too perfect, unless they are a born saint, then they must have a greater ambition. Xu Zihuang was clearly the latter, so he decided to appropriately show Elder Mu his unavoidable human side in order to completely lower Elder Mu's guard.

Xu Zihuang hesitated to make a move, and Vina couldn't help but open her hazy eyes in confusion.

Just as she opened her eyes, Xu Zihuang reached out his right hand and placed it on the area between her left breast and her flat stomach.

The source of the Dark Demon Tiger's evil energy lies in the meridians around its heart and lungs. A more effective approach would be to apply it to Princess Vina's left chest, but that would definitely not work.

Xu Zihuang had no choice but to settle for placing his right hand on this area, which inevitably required more effort. Even so, this contact caused Vina to close her eyes again, her body stiffening with embarrassment.

Soul power possessing the ultimate lightning attribute was injected into Vina's body through Xu Zihuang's right hand. Soul masters, upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, can achieve internal vision, but this is limited to their own bodies.

This is one of the reasons why Elder Zhuang and Yan Shaozhe did not determine that the special energy invading Vina's heart meridian was the original evil energy of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Vina could clearly see the gray-black energy in the meridians around her heart and lungs dissipate and decay under the touch of the dark purple soul power.

Thunder is the embodiment of the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and the nemesis of all evil spirits.

Although both are extreme attributes, Xu Zihuang's extreme lightning is very effective against the extreme evil of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Vina felt the chilling aura in her heart meridian gradually dissipate, as if it were being evaporated.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Xu Zihuang with his eyes closed, carefully sensing the state of her body. Only then did she notice the faint purple-gold light slowly spreading around Xu Zihuang's body.

"A tangible yet intangible level of spiritual power," Vina murmured to herself, her red lips slightly parted. A hint of something unusual flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Her second martial soul is the Brain, a spirit-attribute physical martial soul, so she naturally understands how astonishing it is for Yu Tianhuang to reach such a level of spiritual power at his age.

It can be said that 99% of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts who use spiritual power cannot reach this level.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm possesses a cultivation of millions of years, yet it is still only at the level of tangible but intangible spiritual power. However, back then, it was already very close to the realm of tangible and intangible power, while Xu Zihuang had only just stepped into the level of tangible but intangible power.

Once Xu Zihuang is able to break through to the realm of tangible spiritual power and materialize it, there will be no soul master or soul beast below the god level on the continent who can contend with him on the spiritual power level.

But he still has a long way to go to achieve this.

In the main hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu lay on a recliner, a faint smile on his aged face.

That was a heartfelt sense of satisfaction at the excellence of the younger generation.

He saw a reflection of himself in Yu Tianhuang, but Yu Tianhuang was more talented and more popular with the opposite sex.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and before we knew it, it was almost noon.

Two footsteps approached from afar in the corridor on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion. Old Master Mu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, also slightly opened and closed his eyes.

Standing in front of him were Xu Zihuang and Vina, whose dark demonic tiger essence had been completely neutralized by Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang's handsome face still wore that gentle smile, while Vina's delicate face was now adorned with two alluring blushes. She would unconsciously reach out and place her hand on the area that Xu Zihuang had been touching for hours.

However, she did not forget etiquette in front of Elder Mu. She stepped forward and bowed to Elder Mu, her long black hair cascading down her back with the movement. She showed none of the airs of a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Thank you, senior."

"You shouldn't be thanking me," Old Mu joked with a smile, looking at the youthful Xu Zihuang and Vina, the heavy gloom in his eyes was greatly reduced.

“Go, your companions are south of Poseidon Island. Tianhuang, take Vina there.”

"Yes, Elder Mu," Xu Zihuang replied respectfully.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Zihuang and Vina walked side by side along the mountain path towards the south of Sea God Island.

Vina looked at Xu Zihuang and said in a soft but solemn voice, "Thank you."

“Princess Vina, you don’t need to be so polite. We are all from the Heavenly Soul Empire. As compatriots, it is only right that we help each other.” Xu Zihuang glanced at Vina’s gentle gaze and smiled freely.

Vina was taken aback at first, then gave a sweet smile.

"You've already told me not to be so polite, so why do you still call me Princess Vina? Just call me Vina like that senior did from now on."

As a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Yu Tianhuang's strong sense of belonging to the empire filled her with immense joy and honor.

“Okay, Vina.” Xu Zihuang didn’t refuse.

Their conversation thereafter was exceptionally pleasant, and Vina seemed to have forgotten her earlier shyness. She took the initiative to ask Xu Zihuang about Dragon City. She had never been to this main city, which belonged to the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

There are very few ice-attribute soul beasts living in the Star Dou Great Forest and the already declining Sunset Forest. If she wants to obtain the soul ring of the first martial soul, Snow Lotus, she will inevitably have to go to the far north.

And when you enter the far north, Dragon City is the largest transit point.

Xu Zihuang answered them all calmly. In order to make his disguise more perfect, he also had a full understanding of the information about his birthplace, Longcheng.

During their conversation, the two soon arrived at this area on the south side of Poseidon Island. Before them stood a sparse row of two-story wooden pavilions.

Before the two could get close, a tall girl, about the same age as Vina, flashed and blocked their way, exclaiming in surprise.

"Vina, are you alright?"

It was Mu Xue, the aloof girl who was with Vina.

"Sister Xue." Vina hugged Mu Xue tightly, her face also moved. Although she had lost consciousness and fainted in the Star Dou Great Forest that day, since she had appeared at Shrek Academy, it must have been Mu Xue and the others who risked their lives to bring her out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Sister Xue, how are the other masters doing?"

Mu Xue sighed.

"Of the six masters who came with us, Master Mo was seriously injured, but fortunately, a healing-type Soul Master from Shrek Academy intervened, and Master Mo's condition has stabilized. As for the other five masters—"

She paused for a moment at this point.

"Only the Northern Tang survived."

"I'm sorry, Sister Xue, it's my fault for implicating those masters." Vina's eyes dimmed instantly, filled with guilt.
