In the past, she would do this afterward to reminisce, but today she was moved by her feelings and couldn't help but do it in front of Xu Zihuang.

However, a scion of a prominent family is still a scion of a prominent family. Although he was secretly shy and unable to contain himself, he still maintained a dignified and graceful demeanor on the surface.

“Since you’ve let me be myself, Tianhuang, I admit I’m a little concerned about what you told Senior Brother Xu about the senior girls you met at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.”

Xu Zihuang naturally wouldn't deliberately embarrass Ning Tian, ​​so he chuckled and took the initiative to tell him about Ju Zi and Ke Ke.

"Those two senior girls are named Orange and Coco. They are students taught by my mentor at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy..."

Ning Tian listened silently, lost in thought, her shyness gradually fading away.

Even though the two deliberately slowed down, it was half an hour later when they arrived at the training ground.

There were seven people in total on the training field. The five newly promoted inner court disciples were Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao, Nanmen Yun'er, Dai Huabin, and Xie Huanyue, along with an inner court teacher and an inner court teaching assistant.

The inner court teacher was Wang Yan, while the teaching assistant was a female inner court student who looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. This female student had a similar figure to the inner court's senior sister, Zhang Lexuan, but her face was thinner. Her eyes were as black as lacquer, and her expression was very gentle. Her appearance wasn't stunningly beautiful, but rather the kind that grows on you.

Xu Zihuang also knew something about this female student from the inner academy.

Her name is Han Ruoruo, and she is one of only two Soul Douluo-level experts among the inner students of Shrek Academy. In terms of seniority and age, she is superior to Zhang Lexuan, only slightly inferior in cultivation. The fact that she always addresses Zhang Lexuan by her first name when they are together is enough to prove her status in the inner students of Shrek Academy.

Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo stood beside the training ground, occasionally exchanging glances, their smiles deepening. Clearly, they got along very well.

Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, and Xie Huan Yue were also beside Wang Yan and the other two, while Dai Hua Bin and Nan Men Yun Er were in the center of the training ground, seemingly preparing for a battle of spirits.

"Teacher Wang, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?" Xu Zihuang waved to Wang Yan from a distance and nodded to Han Ruoruo.

"Hello, Senior Sister Han."

Wang Yan's conversation with Han Ruoruo was suddenly interrupted by Xu Zihuang's voice, and he looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, his purpose in contacting Han Ruoruo was not pure.

However, after a brief moment of embarrassment, the expression on his face was instantly replaced by surprise.

"Tianhuang?! I heard from Elder Xuan that you were in seclusion cultivating? What are you doing here?"

Being able to teach such an outstanding student as Yu Tianhuang was the thing he was most proud of in his life. Furthermore, their relationship had always been harmonious because of their shared experience in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

"I just finished my cultivation this morning. Ning Tian told me that you were going to give them some guidance today, so I came to check it out," Xu Zihuang replied.

"Professor Wang, you won't mind if I come to audit the class, will you?"

Wang Yan laughed and scolded, "How could that be? Come over here first. This is a good opportunity to test your cultivation progress over the past few years."

As they spoke, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian arrived before Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo. Ning Tian also bowed slightly to Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo.

Having conducted so many instructional sessions, Han Ruoruo and Ning Tian were quite familiar with each other, and her gaze was mostly fixed on Xu Zihuang.

“I heard from Le Xuan that your talent surpasses hers. You were also chosen by Elder Mu as the successor of the Sea God Pavilion. I’m quite curious about you.” Han Ruoruo smiled gently and gracefully.

"After Yoona and Huabin finish their sparring, why don't you go up and give it a try too?"

Xu Zihuang smiled calmly and said, "Since Senior Sister Han has said so, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

Han Ruoruo turned to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan nodded to her. Their every move was perfectly in sync.

Wu Feng stood obediently behind Ning Tian, ​​head bowed, a stark contrast to her usual volatile temper. Having received Ning Tian's warning, she dared not show any of the loathing and resentment she harbored towards Yu Tianhuang.

On the other side of Wufeng is Xiehuanyue.

Several years have passed, and Xie Huanyue has grown even taller, with significant changes in his appearance. However, his so-called height is actually developing towards a spherical shape.

Xie Huanyue gave Xu Zihuang a kind smile.

There has never been any unpleasantness between the two of them.

Xu Zihuang responded in kind and then greeted Xiao Xiao.

"Xiao Xiao, it seems you should be the first in our class besides me to be admitted to the Inner Academy."

Xiao Xiao shyly avoided Xu Zihuang's gaze, her voice soft and delicate.

"Actually, I only entered the Inner Academy half a year ago."

As they grew older and hadn't been in contact for a long time, Xiao Xiao initially thought her vague feelings for Yu Tianhuang would gradually fade away. However, it turned out she was wrong. The allure of someone as outstanding and perfect as Yu Tianhuang was unimaginable for women his age.

At least, she couldn't remain calm when facing Yu Tianhuang.

Looking at Ning Tian, ​​who was behaving intimately with Yu Tianhuang, a ridiculous thought even popped into her mind: if she had mustered up the courage back then, would she be the one standing next to Yu Tianhuang?

In the center of the arena, Nanmen Yun'er gave Xu Zihuang a gentle smile. Compared to Xiao Xiao, she seemed much more poised and confident.

As for Dai Huabin, although his expression remained somewhat cold and hard, he had already calmed down, and his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit. He knew that he was not yet Yu Tianhuang's match, but he wanted to know the true gap between the two.

Ning Tian openly wrapped Xu Zihuang's arm around his chest, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Xiao Xiao's unusual behavior. Xiao Xiao, with her twin martial souls, could indeed make him feel threatened.

Before long, everyone's attention was drawn back to the center of the training ground.

Wang Yan watched as Nanmen Yun'er and Dai Huabin took their positions and shouted, "Ready! Although this is just a friendly spar, I still hope you can demonstrate your abilities as much as possible so that I can provide you with guidance. Ruoruo and I will take care of the rest."

Xie Huanyue narrowed his small eyes and said mysteriously, "Just watch, Dai Huabin is definitely going to suffer a big loss this time."

"Hmm?" Hearing Xie Huanyue's words, not only the others, but even Xu Zihuang was somewhat surprised.

Among the students who entered the Inner Academy in their year, Dai Huabin's soul power level and overall strength should be second only to him.

Ning Tian understood and whispered to Xu Zihuang, "Yun'er was very low-key when she was in the outer academy. I only heard that her martial soul had mutated, which is why she was promoted to a core disciple. She entered the inner academy about half a month ago, and I haven't seen her actually make a move."

"start!"

Before Ning Tian could finish speaking, Wang Yan had already swung his right hand.

Whether it was Xu Zihuang's arrival that ignited Dai Huabin's fighting spirit or not, he was unusually excited at this moment. He clashed his fists together in front of his chest, and his bones cracked and popped.

The White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him. Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five optimally matched soul rings—emerged alongside pale white soul power. White fur sprouted wildly from his body, unleashing the powerful and domineering aura of the White Tiger Martial Soul, the king of beasts.

His entire body suddenly emitted a strong golden light, and he grew even larger, his aura surging. Immediately afterwards, a layer of white light enveloped his body.

From the very beginning, Dai Huabin directly used his two amplification-type soul skills: White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

With a roar like a tiger, Dai Huabin charged forward with great strides. The idea that offensive Soul Masters are superior to agile Soul Masters has been around for a long time. His plan was to forcefully suppress Nanmen Yun'er.

At the same time, Nanmen Yun'er also moved. Her body floated lightly, as if she were weightless, transforming into a streak of emerald green as she met Dai Huabin. Her speed was so fast that Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, and the others could hardly see her figure.

Only the faint light and shadow of the five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—around Nanmen Yun'er could be seen.

So fast!

Even without using any soul skills, it already possesses such astonishing speed.

However, Xu Zihuang managed to capture Nanmen Yun'er's figure using the power of his Golden Eye Martial Soul.

Behind Nanmen Yun'er, a pair of emerald green wings appeared. But compared to the way Nanmen Yun'er released her martial spirit in his memory, the current Nanmen Yun'er had only one other change.

Those were her eyelids; the upper and lower eyelids on either side of her dark green eyes had turned into a brilliant gold, which was extremely strange.

At the same time, Xu Zihuang's second martial soul underwent an unusual movement, and a feeling of disgust and disdain originating from his bloodline and martial soul surged in his heart.

"This is……"

"Emerald Bird? Yun'er's martial soul is actually an Emerald Bird? No wonder Elder Song values ​​her so much." Han Ruoruo answered the question with sudden realization. The Emerald Bird is an extremely rare and ferocious soul beast. Back when she and Zhang Lexuan led the inner court disciples deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings, they had encountered an Emerald Bird with a thousand years of cultivation.

She won't admit her mistake.

The Emerald Demon Bird, despite having only three thousand years of cultivation, caused them considerable trouble. This was simply because these spirit beasts were incredibly fast and capable of flight.

"What?! The Emerald Demon Bird?!" Wang Yan was even more shocked. He had never seen this Emerald Demon Bird in person like Han Ruoruo, but he had seen records of it in ancient books in Shrek Academy's library.

His cultivation level was insufficient to fully perceive the changes in Nanmen Yun'er's released martial spirit, which is why he failed to recognize her immediately.

The Emerald Demon Bird is one of the most ruthless of the avian spirit beasts. Its growth depends on consuming the brains of various creatures; both spirit beasts and humans are its targets. Its burst speed over short distances is unmatched by any other flying spirit beast.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Emerald Demon Bird caused a great catastrophe. At that time, they were social spirit beasts, and when they flew over an area, the brains of all the creatures in that area would be completely absorbed.

Later, it was said that one of the Emerald Bird Kings even absorbed the brain marrow of a true dragon, eventually evolving into the most terrifying killer of that era. In those days, the dragon race still ruled the continent. When the true dragon was killed, the enraged dragon race concentrated its forces to launch a frenzied revenge against the Emerald Bird race, nearly wiping them out.

As a result, although the Emerald Demon Bird still has a lineage in the world today, its number is probably even rarer than that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Moreover, because it is so hated by those powerful soul beasts, the existing Emerald Demon Birds rarely dare to show their faces.

Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng also showed unusual expressions. The name of the Emerald Demon Bird was simply too famous. Even now, legends about the Emerald Demon Bird still circulate.

Only Xie Huanyue, who was in the same class as Nanmen Yun'er and had prior knowledge of her, seemed calmer.

He had sparred with Nanmen Yun'er during the outer academy's upgrade assessment, and the result was that even the powerful defense of his Pipi Elephant Martial Soul could not withstand the extreme sharpness of Nanmen Yun'er's Martial Soul.

Chapter 294 Fiery Cutting Line and Jade Needle

Nanmen Yun'er, standing in the arena, was surrounded by her first and third spirit rings.

First Soul Skill: Jade Blade. Third Soul Skill: Jade Shadow. With the activation of the Jade Demon Bird bloodline within her, and the evolution of her Jade Bird Martial Soul, her Soul Skills naturally changed accordingly.

Her hands simultaneously transformed into a vibrant emerald green, as if sculpted from jade, possessing a translucent quality reminiscent of jade gemstones, with an intensely sharp aura condensed within them. Her own speed also surged dramatically under the influence of her third soul skill, Emerald Shadow, an enhancement-type skill.

Dai Huabin's third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, provides an all-around boost to attack, strength, and defense, while Nanmen Yun'er's third soul skill, Jade Shadow, focuses on speed and attack.

Dai Huabin, who faced Nanmen Yun'er directly, understood this most deeply. Zhu Lu's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul was already outstanding among agility-type Martial Souls, but he was certain that even if Zhu Lu broke through to the five-ring Soul King realm, her speed would still not be comparable to Nanmen Yun'er's. This was a difference in the quality of their Martial Souls.

Zhu Lu's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul cannot be considered a top-tier Martial Soul; at most, it can only be classified as a high-level Martial Soul. However, after Nanmen Yun'er's Jade Bird Martial Soul evolved into the Emerald Demon Bird, it became an undisputed top-tier Martial Soul.

Elder Song of the Sea God Pavilion is also the mother of Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department. His soul power cultivation reaches level ninety-seven, making him the second strongest in the Sea God Pavilion after Elder Xuan. Elder Song's martial soul, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, is a top-tier agility-based martial soul, sharing many similarities with Nanmen Yun'er's Emerald Demon Bird martial soul.

Both are wind-attribute flying martial souls, and both are known for their attack power and speed. Elder Song values ​​Nanmen Yun'er so much not only because their martial soul abilities are similar, but also because he affirms Nanmen Yun'er's potential.

If it was difficult for Nanmen Yun'er to reach the Title Douluo realm back then, she now has the potential to become a Super Douluo.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between Nanmen Yun'er and Dai Huabin was rapidly closing, and their figures were about to overlap.

Dai Huabin was already tall, and with the release of his White Tiger Martial Soul, he was at least two meters tall. Nanmen Yun'er, who was only about 1.7 meters tall, stood next to Dai Huabin with a striking contrast.

Nanmen Yun'er was moving so fast that Dai Huabin only saw a blur.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he crossed his tiger claws in front of him, and the white tiger martial spirit phantom behind him faintly emitted a low tiger roar.

Dai Huabin's soul power level was one level higher than Ning Tian's, reaching level fifty-five. His combat experience was also richer. The move he made was very sophisticated, allowing him to launch a fierce offensive or retreat to protect his vitals.

Just as their figures crossed paths, Nanmen Yun'er suddenly disappeared from Dai Huabin's sight.

A sharp, tingling sensation ran down his scalp, and Dai Huabin abruptly raised his head, a chill running through him.

Behind Nanmen Yun'er, a pair of small, emerald-green wings fluttered slightly, propelling her body down from the sky. Her right hand, transformed into a jade blade, pointed directly at Dai Huabin's head. Maintaining her flight, Nanmen Yun'er's speed increased significantly.

Nanmen Yun'er was so fast, and the distance between them was so short, it was almost instantaneous. Dai Huabin didn't have time to use any other soul skills. Under these circumstances, he precisely controlled the expansion of his first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Shield, in an attempt to deflect Nanmen Yun'er.

The white light shield enveloping his entire body shone brightly, giving off a sense of solidity and weight. Over the years, he had also been diligently cultivating, and his control over his soul skills had reached a level of consummate skill.

But the next moment, Dai Huabin's pupils suddenly contracted.

The translucent emerald light that Nanmen Yun'er gathered on her right hand pierced through his White Tiger protective barrier after only a brief delay.
