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

Seeing Huo Yuhao's gaze, the young waiter really panicked.

While the four great empires claim to restrain Soul Masters, they often favor them. Nobles need to cultivate relationships with Soul Masters to consolidate their positions, and in the event of war, the nation also needs Soul Masters to fight on the front lines.

As long as the profession of Soul Master exists, there will never be absolute fairness. The only entity truly responsible for monitoring Soul Masters' wrongdoings is the Shrek Academy Inspection Team. However, the Shrek Academy Inspection Team consists only of inner-court disciples and teachers, making it difficult to effectively supervise everyone.

"Don't get agitated, it's nothing." Tang Ya stood up in surprise and pulled the young waiter up.

Beibei's thoughts were similar to Tang Ya's, and she sighed.

"It seems that the class conflict between Soul Masters and ordinary people is even more acute in the Sun Moon Empire."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sensation arise in his heart, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild smile.

He had always lived with inferiority complex at Shrek Academy. There was nothing he could do; everyone around him was more talented than him.

But now, for the first time, he felt the superiority that came with his identity as a Soul Master. After suppressing his emotions for so long, he even had a sudden urge to burst into laughter, making his expression appear both manic and distorted.

Yes, no matter how talented he is, he is still a high and mighty Soul Master! He is born nobler than those lowly ordinary people!

This turn of events had a tremendous impact on his heart. It takes many hardships for a person to walk towards the light, but it often only takes a single thought or a single trigger to fall into darkness.

Noticing Huo Yuhao's strange expression, Bei Bei frowned and whispered a warning.

"Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao was pulled back to reality by Bei Bei's voice and was a little afraid to look Bei Bei in the eye.

Tang Ya turned around in a daze.

Bei Bei gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, then said to Tang Ya, "Let's order first. After dinner, get some rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll go help Yuhao hunt soul beasts to advance his cultivation level."

The young waiter tentatively made eye contact with the group, lingering the longest on Huo Yuhao. Seeing that his gaze had become much calmer, he then mustered his courage and respectfully handed the menu to the three of them.

Nothing else happened after that. After dinner, the three of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Beibei escorted Tangya to the door of the room. Before leaving, Tangya suddenly grabbed Beibei's wrist and said thoughtfully.

"Beibei, why did I feel like Yuhao's gaze was a little off just now?"

Beibei took Tang Ya's hand in return and smiled gently.

"It's normal to be excited about getting your spirit ring soon. You weren't much better than Yuhao before."

"Ugh!" Tang Ya made a face at Bei Bei and pretended to be angry as she closed the door.

As soon as Tang Ya left, Bei Bei's gaze became deep.

Chapter 298 Reunion with Vina and the Main Body Disciple

"Clap clap-"

The burning wood in the campfire sent up a string of sparks, the flames flickering in the wind and reflected on the surface of Lake Poseidon.

Ning Tian sat passionately on Xu Zihuang's lap, her pretty face flushed red in the firelight, her breathing a little rapid. But just as she twisted her waist to sit upright, a strange feeling washed over her, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her cheeks burning, her eyes filled with shyness.

"Tianhuang... let's go to the Nine Treasures Pavilion."

Taking a deep breath, Ning Tianxia resolutely murmured a sentence in a low voice. The shyness in her voice was not diminished, but it was unusually firm.

There was nothing to hesitate about; this was her choice. And in truth, she also had a primal desire stemming from her heart and body.

Xu Zihuang's gentle touch on Ning Tian's hair remained steady; he had, of course, picked up on the implication in Ning Tian's words.

In the past, he might not have hesitated at all, because after this, Ning Tian would definitely be even more devoted to him. But with Ye Guyi's appearance, everything changed. At least he hoped that this would be the first time he and Ye Guyi took that step together.

This can be considered his persistence without affecting the overall situation.

With the successful condensation of his soul core and absorption of the soul ring and soul bone of the 100,000-year-old pure spiritual type Evil Eye Tyrant, his increased strength gradually changed his mentality.

Once he breaks through level 70 and fuses with the million-year soul ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he will even have the ability to directly confront and defeat ordinary Title Douluos. And now, those days are no longer far away.

"What are you going to Jiubaoge for?" Xu Zihuang asked with a knowing smile.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Ning Tian glared at Xu Zihuang, a rare occurrence for him, and then lightly punched Xu Zihuang's shoulder in a bit of embarrassment.

In the past, Ning Tian had always unconsciously suppressed his true nature, even after confirming his relationship with Xu Zihuang. This was not only because of the high-pressure education he received from being raised as the sole heir to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but mainly because he cared too much about Xu Zihuang.

Because she cared, she didn't want to lose him. As a result, when she was with Xu Zihuang, she was almost always obedient to him, even to the point of being ingratiating.

Although Tang Ya usually appears to be a carefree and cheerful person, she has an extraordinary sensitivity to certain things.

Over the past two years, Tang Ya has given Ning Tian a lot of advice.

Ning Tian listened to all of this and gradually came to his senses.

It can be said that Ning Tian is the most authentic version of herself now, without giving off an empty feeling. She gets jealous, shy, and angry, and she expresses these feelings without any pretense in front of the person she likes.

After all, how rational can a sixteen-year-old girl be?

Xu Zihuang chuckled and kissed Ning Tian's forehead, then whispered in his ear, "It's not the right time yet."

Ning Tian's slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a smile returned to her delicate face. She said with a shy smile, "You said it yourself, so don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Xu Zihuang suddenly said in a serious tone, "What if I regret it now?"

"No! You can't go back on your word..."

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the night deepened. The two nestled together, watching the starry sky transform into the rising sun.

With everything prepared, Xu Zihuang had already arranged with Elder Xuan to leave Shrek Academy early this morning for training. That's why he spent the entire night alone with Ning Tian on the north side of Seagod Island.

Xu Zihuang extinguished the campfire and, together with Ning Tian, ​​boarded the Demon Whale and arrived at a row of wooden pavilions on the west side of Seagod Island. This was where the female students of Shrek Academy's inner court lived.

"Tianhuang, be careful in everything." Ning Tian finally left Xu Zihuang's embrace after a long while, giving her a reluctant word of advice. Bathed in the morning sun, her delicate, fair skin and platinum blonde hair shimmered with a golden glow, making her look charming and lovely.

"Hmm." Xu Zihuang nodded and teased.

"I hope you can give me another chance when I come back next time."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Ning Tian's pretty face immediately turned bright red. At the same time, Xu Zihuang stored the Magic Mirror in his storage soul tool, stepped onto the dark red crystal mirror, and drifted away towards the Sea God Pavilion.

His deliberate teasing helped to alleviate the low spirits at parting.

Ning Tian watched Xu Zihuang's retreating figure, the shyness in his eyes disappearing, replaced by tender affection and a smile.

Their birthdays are only one day apart. The best birthday gift for each other will be on their next birthday, leaving the deepest memories.

What Xu Zihuang didn't know was that Ning Tian had been planning all this for a long time.

Of course, if they had gone to Jiubaoge together last night, Ning Tian wouldn't have felt too much regret.

The Sea God Pavilion is surrounded by clouds and mist.

Xu Zihuang passed through the clouds and landed steadily on the open ground in front of the Sea God Pavilion, where two figures who had been waiting appeared. Standing at the front was an old man dressed in a neat white robe, none other than Elder Xuan.

At this moment, Elder Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at Xu Zihuang.

Behind Elder Xuan stood a gentle and quiet young woman with long, black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall. She was none other than Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the Inner Court.

Xu Zihuang respectfully greeted Elder Xuan and Zhang Lexuan.

"Elder Xuan, Senior Sister."

Both of them smiled and nodded at him.

"Is everything ready?" Elder Xuan stepped forward and walked in front of Xu Zihuang, with Zhang Lexuan following behind him.

"Hmm," Xu Zihuang replied seriously.

Elder Xuan sighed softly, “Tianhuang, you do need to go out and train for a while to familiarize yourself with and master your newly acquired abilities, and I won’t stop you. But you must remember not to go too deep into the sea. The sea spirit beasts living in the deep sea far surpass the spirit beasts on land in both quality and quantity, and there are many that can pose a threat to you.”

"Tianhuang, Elder Xuan is right. Your own safety should be the priority," Zhang Lexuan said gently in agreement.

Xu Zihuang said calmly, "Elder Xuan, Senior Sister, don't worry. Even if I encounter a sea spirit beast with 100,000 years of cultivation, I am confident that I can escape unscathed. Since I successfully condensed the spiritual attribute soul core, I should be able to perfectly control the ability of my physical martial soul to awaken to the second level of gold.

Elder Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.

"Tianhuang, are you sure?!"

Although Elder Xuan's own Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul was unrelated to his original Martial Soul, he had dealt with Poison Undying many times. For one thing, when Poison Undying first entered the Title Douluo realm, he hadn't even begun to master the ability of his original Martial Soul's second awakening at the Gold level.

"Elder Xuan, my intuition is infallible." Having received Yu Tianhuang's affirmation, Elder Xuan excitedly patted Xu Zihuang's shoulder with his right hand.

"Good! Good! Haha, if that old poison monster from the Body Sect knew, he'd probably spit out a mouthful of blood in anger."

Due to his personality, Elder Xuan still remembered the frustration of being suppressed by the poison that wouldn't kill him back then. Now that he had finally gotten his revenge, he was in an extremely good mood.

Zhang Lexuan appeared much calmer than Elder Xuan, her face showing worry as if she had thought of something.

"Elder Xuan, the people of the Body Sect must already know about Elder Mu's passing. Do you think they will attack Tianhuang again?"

"That's hard to say." Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan's smile vanished instantly.

"Poison Old Monster never follows the rules; he might actually do something like this."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xu Zihuang again, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Xu Zihuang said with a wry smile, "Elder Xuan, you're not going to back out, are you?"

"You brat, do you think I'm the kind of person who goes back on my word?!" Elder Xuan said irritably.

"There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world. The Body Sect doesn't know you're going out for training. Go, go. Remember, don't put yourself in danger, and always prioritize your own safety. But after you come back this time, you'd better stay in the academy and cultivate properly."

Zhang Lexuan also parted her red lips, her gentle voice filled with deep concern.

"Tianhuang, take care on your journey."

Elder Xuan's words made a lot of sense. The Douluo Continent was so vast that the probability of the Body Sect encountering Yu Tianhuang by chance was extremely low. Her main concern was the potential dangers Yu Tianhuang might face on his sea voyage.

"Elder Xuan, Senior Sister, please take good care of yourselves as well."

Xu Zihuang solemnly bowed to Elder Xuan and Zhang Lexuan, and then rose into the air.

To avoid attracting too much attention, he landed on the lakeside path and walked all the way to the main gate of Shrek Academy before using his self-made level-six flying soul tool to fly northeast.

The small, folded wings, radiating a deep purple light, resembled the wings of a flying soul beast, clinging tightly to his back and swaying gently. A thin membrane of light enveloped his body, so much so that even his hair remained largely unmoved.

This is a flying soul tool from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, utilizing the latest bionic technology. It's far more advanced than the flying soul tools that Keke and Ju Zi used back then.

It can fly in the most energy-efficient way. Not only has the flight speed been increased to a certain extent, but the consumption of soul power has also been reduced significantly.

Shrek Academy is located in the southeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire, while Xu Zihuang's destination, Thousand Spirit City, is located in the northeast corner of the Douling Empire, which is equivalent to diagonally crossing the entire Douling Empire from southwest to northeast.

Although the Douling Empire has the smallest land area among the four great empires, it is conservatively estimated that it has flown at least four thousand kilometers along the way.

However, with his current cultivation level, it would only take him one to two days.
