The two took off one after the other. Ye Guyi looked back at Xu Zihuang with reluctance before activating her flying soul tool and flying south.

Xu Zihuang watched the two figures disappear into the distant horizon.

……

Back at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xu Zihuang resumed his peaceful life. He spent his month-long vacation cultivating and studying.

However, one morning before the start of the new semester, there was a knock on his dormitory door.

The knocking was urgent and the rhythm was unfamiliar, which made Xu Zihuang realize that it was definitely not He Caitou or Fan Yu who were knocking.

He had just finished his cultivation and calmly opened the door after getting out of bed.

"Senior Keke?"

Standing outside the door was indeed not He Caitou or Fan Yu, but Ke Ke. Although the dormitory buildings of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were open to all, there were very few female students like Ke Ke who disregarded other unpleasant rumors and took the initiative to find the boys' dormitory building.

Keke said irritably, "Tianhuang, do you know that these days are the enrollment period for our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

"Hmm." Xu Zihuang nodded slightly. He knew a little about these things. The admissions process for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was similar to that of Shrek Academy, taking place some time before the start of the new semester. However, compared to Shrek Academy, the admissions process for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was much busier. After all, the application requirements for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were very low; one only needed to reach level ten in soul power and obtain a soul ring before the age of twelve.

In the past few days, the square in front of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been almost crowded with people who want to apply to the academy, as well as some accompanying parents and elders.

"Most of the students in charge of admissions are fourth or fifth graders, but according to custom, students from Mingde Hall are required to send representatives. One is to supervise and verify the applications, and the other is to give the newly enrolled students some motivational speeches." Keke couldn't help but roll her eyes and ruthlessly complain.

"I really don't know what the academy is thinking. It's uncertain whether those students can even make it into the sixth grade, let alone get into Mingde Hall."

Just as Keke said, the quality of students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is indeed not very good. Many students enroll each year, but only about one in a thousand are able to advance to the sixth grade.

Hearing this, Xu Zihuang basically guessed Keke's purpose.

"Senior Keke, you're not trying to say that the representatives sent by Mingde Hall are us, are you?"

“In the past year or two, only a few of us have been admitted to Mingde Hall. Zimu went home and hasn’t returned to school yet, so it’s just the two of us left. Although you are an exchange student from Shrek Academy, you are now a member of the academy. Teacher Xuan has also agreed, so there’s no other way, let’s go together.” Keke pouted helplessly.

"Fortunately, we don't need to do anything; let's just sit there and rest."

Thinking that he had been too engrossed in his cultivation lately, Xu Zihuang didn't refuse. A balance of relaxation and rest is more beneficial for cultivation. Besides, he had to give Xuan Ziwen and Keke some face.

After a quick wash, Xu Zihuang and Keke arrived at the main entrance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The main entrance was a huge plaza. The scene before them was utterly breathtaking: a sea of ​​people, filled with a cacophony of noise.

A row of fourth and fifth-grade students, dressed in the silver-white uniforms of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, sat behind desks, undergoing an assessment. The assessment was simple: recording the applicants' soul power level and martial soul. Those who passed the assessment could enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy through a special passage.

When the trainees in charge of the assessment noticed Xu Zihuang and Keke's arrival, especially when they saw the badges representing Mingdetang on their chests, they all stood up and bowed humbly.

Many of these students looked several years older than Xu Zihuang and Keke, but they didn't find it inappropriate. In the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme.

If you have the ability, you will enjoy the respect of others. That's the reality.

One of the burly young men, dressed in the fifth-year uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, personally led the two to a large sofa in an empty area. Various fruits and pastries were laid out on the table in front of the sofa, and a huge parasol blocked the direct sunlight.

"Hello seniors, my name is Yunluo. If you need anything else, please feel free to let me know." Yunluo smiled ingratiatingly.

The students of Mingde Hall are usually busy researching soul tools and rarely show their faces. So even though Xu Zihuang's face was somewhat unfamiliar, he didn't think much of it. The only thing that bothered him was that Xu Zihuang looked far too young. But the Mingde Hall badge on his chest was undeniably there, so he naturally didn't dare to be negligent.

He went to great lengths to prepare all this, wasn't it all to cultivate a good relationship with the students of Mingdetang? Now is the perfect opportunity.

"You're so thoughtful." Coco waved her hand in a condescending manner, then plopped down on the soft sofa.

“These are things I should do.”

Yunluo was excited, but he didn't bother Xu Zihuang and the other person any further. Instead, he tactfully returned to his seat and continued to oversee the assessment. This earned him a few eye rolls from the other trainees overseeing the assessment, who cursed him inwardly but had to admit that he was indeed skilled at flattery.

Xu Zihuang had just sat down when he saw Keke take out a small metal ball. He infused it with his soul power, and a layer of light instantly enveloped the space, blocking out outside sounds.

"Finally, some peace and quiet." Keke stretched lazily and chuckled.

Xu Zihuang leaned back on the sofa, propped his neck up, and smiled, "Senior Sister Keke, it doesn't seem like much. It's a good opportunity to observe the more typical martial souls of your Sun Moon Empire."

But Keke suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Xu Zihuang beside her.

"Did you know? Sister Orange wrote to me."

Xu Zihuang remained silent.

Seeing Xu Zihuang's calm expression, Keke couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"You jerk, you rejected me, fine, but you didn't even accept Sister Orange's refusal—"

However, before she could finish speaking, a girl who looked to be only about eleven years old instantly caught her and Xu Zihuang's attention.

The girl's eyes were deep blue, captivating like the depths of a vast ocean, profound yet icy. Her silver-white hair was slightly curly, and despite her young age, she possessed an air of nobility. Her delicate features were like those of a porcelain doll, as if they embodied the essence of this world.

Ignoring the attempts of the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who were responsible for maintaining order, she stepped into the light membrane of the soundproof soul tool.

"You are—" Keke opened her mouth subconsciously. She considered herself to be quite pretty, but compared to the girl in front of her, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon. Even oranges paled in comparison to this white-haired girl.

The girl's cool gaze swept over Ke Ke, finally landing on Xu Zihuang, at which point the disgust in her deep blue eyes dissipated considerably.

Finally, she found a human whose body was free of defilement.

A biting chill swept over her, snowflakes danced around her body, and two bright yellow spirit rings appeared beneath her feet.

A clear and melodious sound rang out in this space like a flowing spring.

"I'm a new student applying. Will I pass?"

Chapter 286 Five Months

Yun Luo, who was following behind the white-haired girl to stop her, felt the chill that seemed to freeze her soul and almost reflexively released her martial soul.

"Waaah—"

With a low growl resembling a wolf's howl, his muscles bulged instantly, stretching the previously loose Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy uniform taut, and his eyes turned bright yellow.

However, there was a kind of fear in his eyes that came from his martial spirit and bloodline.

His hands transformed into sharp wolf claws, and yellow fur rapidly spread across his entire body, wreathed in blazing white flames.

In the original Douluo Continent, wolf-type martial souls are generally of the yin and cold nature. A fire-attribute wolf-type martial soul like this is an unusual existence.

Yunluo's martial soul is called Azure Flame Wolf, a unique martial soul of the Sun Moon Empire. The pale white flames appear strange, but in reality, they are far less hot than the flames controlled by those high-level fire attribute martial souls.

The advantage of this pale white flame lies in its extremely strong adhesion and spreading ability. Overall, it can be considered a mid-to-high-level martial soul.

Four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, pulsed rapidly around Yun Luo. It seemed that only in this way could he barely maintain the state of his spirit possession.

All of this originated from a girl who was around eleven years old and only had the cultivation level of a Great Soul Master.

Students like Yunluo and Keke, from traditional Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, still have a very shallow understanding of martial souls.

In contrast, Xu Zihuang immediately grasped the key point.

There's no mistake, that's the absolute suppression of martial soul attributes.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was inside Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea, was suddenly awakened.

"How is that possible? Apart from you, Zihuang, how could any human body possibly withstand such extreme attributes, especially extreme ice?!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but be shocked. Its home was in the far north of the Douluo Continent. But even in that far north, only the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, the ruler of the far north, could be considered to have the ultimate ice attribute.

Titan Snow Demon King, who is also one of the three great kings of the far north along with Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, is still quite far from reaching the ultimate level of ice attribute.

Yunluo suppressed her instinctive discomfort and entered the light membrane of the soundproof soul guide device. Just as she was about to step forward and take the white-haired girl away, she was interrupted by Xu Zihuang, who had a calm expression.

"You continue to oversee your assessment work. We can handle her assessment."

"Yes, senior." Yun Luo breathed a sigh of relief, readily agreed, and left. Since the Mingde Hall student in charge of supervision had spoken, he naturally wouldn't interfere further.

Moreover, being so close to the white-haired girl made the oppressive feeling even stronger, to the point that it became unbearable for him.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but frown and glance at the white-haired girl.

The continuously dropping temperature around her made Keke shiver, but that didn't stop her from continuing to admire the beauty of the white-haired girl in front of her.

The light in her large eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"So tiny! So cute!"

Although the white-haired girl's expression was cold, her petite figure, flawless, jade-like face, and ethereal deep blue eyes could definitely evoke maternal instincts in many older women. Take, for example, Keke in front of her. If it weren't for the chilling aura emanating from the white-haired girl's martial spirit, she might have already reached out and hugged her tightly.

Coco stood up and asked with a smile.

"Little sister, are you registering alone? What's your name?"

"Tch—" But what she received in return was the white-haired girl's cold and disgusted gaze.

Coco's smile froze instantly, and her eyes widened.

Am I being rejected?!

On the other side, Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly as he considered a possibility. A brilliant golden light shone in his eyes as he used the Golden Eye Martial Soul's ability to see through all illusions.

Is it human?

"Can I pass now?" The white-haired girl's gaze fell on Xu Zihuang again, and she repeated the question in a cold voice.

Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.

"Your soul power cultivation meets the requirements. Register here." As he spoke, he casually picked up a form from a stack of enrollment information forms on the table and handed it over.

The white-haired girl quickly filled in the information and, without saying anything more, walked into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy through the private passage.

The enrollment information form states:

Name: Bingxue

Birthplace: Glorious City, Northeast Frontier of the Sun and Moon Empire

Age: 10 years old

Soul Power Level: Level 28

Martial Soul: Ice and Snow Maiden

"Ice and Snow Maiden?! The Ice and Snow Maiden is the race of the Snow Emperor. Can there be Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Souls among humans?" Through Xu Zihuang's perspective, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also saw the information above and became unsettled again.

Xu Zihuang communicated with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "Tianmeng, you also grew up in the far north. Did you sense any familiar aura from that person just now?"

"Zihuang, I understand what you mean." Tianmeng Bingcan's emotions had calmed down considerably, though her tone was somewhat awkward.

"Well, when I was thirteen, I fell into an ice cave while trying to escape my predator. Of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, I've only ever seen Bingbing. But based on my perception, that little girl from earlier was probably a pure human. And the Snow Empress's cultivation is already close to seven hundred thousand years, so it's impossible for her to have regained her human form."

"That's hard to say," Xu Zihuang replied enigmatically, gazing at the slender figure of Bingxue gradually disappearing from his sight.

Through his memories of his past life, he knew that the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul did indeed exist among humans. But the appearance of this girl named Ice and Snow was far too intriguing.
