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

"Take this Xuanwu Divine Pill; it will make you feel better."

"Mmm." Ning Tian obediently responded softly, without refusing. With a smile on his face, he took the Xuanwu Divine Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Given their relationship, there was no need for formalities. Besides, while the Xuanwu Divine Pill was precious, it was nothing to them.

The Xuanwu Divine Pill, which is extremely rare and hard to come by, is now being used by Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian as an ordinary pill to strengthen their constitution and nourish their vital energy.

Xu Zihuang pulled Ning Tian onto his lap and reminded him, "Circulate your soul power, and I'll help you refine the effects of the Xuanwu Divine Pill."

Ning Tian was naturally aware of the characteristics of the Xuanwu Divine Pill. Although the medicinal power of the Xuanwu Divine Pill was mild, its digestion was relatively slow. Moreover, its efficacy would diminish significantly over time.

Without hesitation, she closed her eyes and began to circulate her soul power. Xu Zihuang placed his hands on Ning Tian's back, using his own even more powerful soul power to guide the effects of the Xuanwu Divine Pill to fuse with Ning Tian's.

A shimmering black aura instantly enveloped Ning Tian's body. That was exactly how the Xuanwu Divine Pill took effect.

The refining process of the Xuanwu Divine Pill continued until nightfall. Ning Tian's complexion was noticeably better than before. She turned around without any hesitation, staring directly at Xu Zihuang, even though she was completely naked.

"Tianhuang..."

Xu Zihuang chuckled knowingly and leaned closer with his head down.

The night is still long.

……

In the early morning, the warm sunlight shone on the earth, dispelling the lingering chill of the deep winter nights in Shrek City.

It was already class time, and the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy was very quiet. Most students were in their classrooms, but some were having practical Soul Master combat training sessions outside.

Judging from their ages, the students in this class should be new students. However, the semester is about to end, and after a month-long break, they will be moving up to the second year.

Batch after batch of young students have brought vitality to Shrek Academy.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian happened to pass by here on their way to Poseidon Island.

Today, Ning Tian wore a light blue long dress, which further accentuated her fair and delicate skin. Her long, platinum blonde hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a unique charm.

Beside her, Xu Zihuang, dressed in simple, close-fitting black clothes, held Ning Tian's hand, chatting and laughing. The junior students stared in amazement, whispering amongst themselves.

The middle-aged male teacher, who was giving a lesson, scolded the students a few times, then turned around and looked at Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​who were passing by Shrek Square.

The moment he saw Xu Zihuang's deep eyes, even with his Soul Emperor level cultivation, he felt a sense of disorientation.

He was about to say something, but wisely kept his mouth shut. Just one glance was enough for him to get this feeling, which undoubtedly proved that the boy in front of him, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, was far more powerful than him.

The only way to find a Soul Master of this caliber within Shrek Academy is an inner court disciple. Inner court disciples are not someone an outer court teacher like him can dictate to.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian had just crossed Shrek Square and arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake when a deep voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Tianhuang?"

The two stopped and looked back.

A boy with short white hair and wheat-colored skin walked towards them.

"Tuoba?" Xu Zihuang raised an eyebrow in surprise. Within the academy, he wouldn't constantly project his spiritual energy to perceive his surroundings. He hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance here.

The person who came was none other than Tuoba Yu, who had been his roommate for over a year. He was also the first person he interacted with after entering Shrek Academy.

Tuoba Yu's face showed surprise and delight.

"Tianhuang, it really is you! When did you get back?"

“He just got back a few days ago.” Xu Zihuang noticed that Tuoba Yu was not wearing the Shrek Academy sixth-grade uniform.

What's going on here?

"I'm preparing to leave the academy." Tuoba Yu smiled bitterly, then glanced at Ning Tian beside Xu Zihuang.

"Tianhuang, do you have time now?"

"You two chat. Tianhuang, I'll wait for you over there." Ning Tian smiled slightly and gracefully walked towards a towering tree not far away.

Tuoba Yu sincerely congratulated him, saying, "I knew you and Ning Tian would end up together. You two are indeed a perfect match."

Xu Zihuang briefly sensed Tuoba Yu's soul power cultivation; it wasn't far from the bottleneck of level fifty, having reached level forty-seven. Among all the sixth-year students in the outer academy, this was considered quite outstanding. Passing the graduation exam would definitely not be a problem.

There is only one reason why Tuoba Yu is preparing to leave the academy.

"Tuoba, you're not going to apply for the Inner Academy? With your abilities, you're not without a chance."

“I know my own situation. If I hadn’t followed you and obtained the Profound Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill, I might not have been able to become a core disciple. In terms of talent, I can’t compare to you. Moreover, my elders at home are also asking me to go back and familiarize myself with the family affairs as soon as possible.” Tuoba Yu gave a wry smile.

"I just said goodbye to Jinxuan and Sichen. Meeting you here is perhaps what they call fate. I knew from the beginning that we were not from the same world, but I am still honored to know you. I will always consider you my friend."

As he spoke, Tuoba Yu reached out his right hand and patted Xu Zihuang on the shoulder.

"Tianhuang, take care. I believe that one day you will be able to stand at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world. If you have the opportunity, you can come to Yuming City in the Star Luo Empire to find me. I will probably be staying in the family for the foreseeable future."

Tuoba Yu turned and left with a carefree air, leaving Xu Zihuang standing there, gazing at Tuoba Yu's retreating figure.

"Take care of yourself."

Back then, they witnessed countless trainees being eliminated in their dormitories, packing their bags dejectedly and leaving. Now, it's Tuoba Yu who's leaving.

Xu Zihuang felt as if it were yesterday. He had never schemed against Tuoba Yu. Although they had only known each other for a little over a year, they shared a youthful sincerity. In front of Tuoba Yu, he had revealed his boyish nature more than once.

However, at this moment, he seemed to realize something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Yuming City?"

Yuming City is located in the northwest of the Star Luo Empire. It was the first line of defense for the Star Luo Empire against the Sun Moon Empire, hence its name.

In his memories of his previous life, Yuming City was the first city to be conquered by the Sun Moon Empire.

"What's wrong, Tianhuang?" Ning Tian returned to Xu Zihuang's side and asked with concern.

Xu Zihuang regained his composure and smiled, "It's nothing, let's go to Poseidon Island."

Thinking about meeting Ye Guyi today, Ning Tian couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

She was a little worried that Ye Guyi might have a bad impression of her since she only came to see Ye Guyi today, even though Yu Tianhuang had told her several times beforehand to put her mind at ease.

Crossing Seagod Lake, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian naturally didn't need a ferry. Xu Zihuang directly used his soul power to ascend into the air, carrying Ning Tian as they flew towards Seagod Island.

The lake surface, which he had solidified into a dark red crystal last night, had long since returned to normal. A gentle breeze swept by, rippling the water and creating a misty atmosphere, like a fairyland.

They arrived at the female student dormitory area on the west side of Poseidon Island. Instead of finding Ye Guyi, they were greeted by their senior sister, Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan roughly guessed their intentions and told them that Ye Guyi had entered the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion yesterday to begin deep meditation, which would likely last for about a month.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian had no choice but to give up.

Xu Zihuang could see through Ye Guyi's thoughts and felt utterly helpless. Ning Tian, ​​however, was far more conflicted. He was even somewhat absent-minded while eating breakfast in the inner courtyard cafeteria.

As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Ning Tian was too concerned about Ye Guyi's opinion of him.

Leaving the inner courtyard dining hall, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian walked along the mountain paths of Seagod Island, surrounded by the sounds of insects and birds, a vibrant tapestry of life. The air, fragrant with the scent of plants, refreshed Ning Tian, ​​easing his anxieties somewhat.

Xu Zihuang put his arm around Ning Tian's soft, boneless waist and comforted her.

"Don't be too nervous, she won't deliberately make things difficult for you. When did you become so insecure?"

"Ah."

Ning Tian leaned against Xu Zihuang's chest, knowing that there was no point in thinking about these things anymore.

The two were preparing to head to the library of the Sea God Pavilion.

Having clearly felt the immense boost the Thunderous Hell Vine had given him, Xu Zihuang conceived the idea of ​​adding more spirit rings to his second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Hell Dragon. The Thunderous Hell Vine had fallen into a deep sleep, and he wasn't sure if it could continue to bestow spirit rings upon him.

In order to obtain the two soul skills passed down from Elder Mu, namely Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift and Dragon Emperor's Domain-Shaking Rift, he must make plans for them as soon as possible.

The Sea God Pavilion's library contains comprehensive records of information about various powerful soul beasts. Of course, his primary focus is on powerful lightning-attribute soul beasts, or soul beasts possessing destructive attributes.

However, on their way to the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian ran into two acquaintances.

Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo.

They were chatting along the way when they bumped into Xu Zihuang and his group.

"Teacher Wang, Senior Sister Han." Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian greeted the two at the same time.

Han Ruoruo didn't react much, but Wang Yan felt a little uneasy. Although he hadn't confessed his feelings to Han Ruoruo yet, being caught in the act made him feel guilty.

After a slight moment of embarrassment, Wang Yan's expression returned to normal.

"Tianhuang, Ningtian, are you two heading to the Sea God Pavilion?"

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly: "I was just about to go to the library to look up some information."

Looking at Xu Zihuang, Han Ruoruo suddenly spoke.

“Teacher Wang, Tianhuang is a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, so he might be able to see something.”

"Senior Sister Han, what are you referring to?" Ning Tian asked, puzzled.

Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he explained with burning enthusiasm.

"Here's the thing, the White Tiger Duke's youngest son's martial soul has undergone a benign mutation. He was sent to the academy yesterday in the hope of developing his potential. The academy put me in charge of this matter. After his martial soul mutated, it lost the fierceness of the traditional White Tiger martial soul, but gained mental attribute abilities. Tianhuang, if you're not in a hurry, you can come with us to take a look."

"Dai Luoli?" Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly as he met Wang Yan's gaze.

Chapter 355 The Golden Dragon Lion and Goodbye to Delori

In Xu Zihuang's eyes, Dai Luoli was originally an insignificant person. So, although he knew how to help Dai Luoli unlock her full potential, he took no action.

Because it's completely unnecessary.

However, Dai Luoli had activated the origin of her mutated martial soul on her own, and was specially sent to Shrek Academy by Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan. This meant that Dai Luoli had gained Dai Hao's attention.

Then one becomes qualified to become his pawn.

Xu Zihuang readily said to Wang Yan, "In that case, Teacher Wang, Senior Sister Han, Ning Tian and I will go and take a look together. Actually, my purpose in going to the library is just to look up powerful lightning-attribute soul beasts suitable for my second martial soul. I believe you, Teacher Wang, should know a lot about these things, so I can ask you for advice along the way."

"Tianhuang, are you preparing to start cultivating your second martial soul?" Wang Yan looked surprised, but quickly understood.

Although Yu Tianhuang possesses twin martial souls, he differs from ordinary twin martial soul masters. Yu Tianhuang's physical attributes are abnormally strong; he successfully absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring at level 60. Therefore, unlike other twin martial soul masters who cultivate to the Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo level before adding a soul ring to their second martial soul, he doesn't need to do so.

Now Yu Tianhuang can absorb that particularly powerful soul ring, maximizing the advantages of his twin martial souls.

“I do know a few soul beasts that would be suitable as your second spirit ring, and the records left by the academy even document the possible locations where these soul beasts might exist. Let’s talk as we walk,” Wang Yan said, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses with great interest.

"By the way, Tianhuang, could you tell me what kind of spirit beast gave you the first spirit ring of your second spirit?"

“I think you probably already have a guess, Teacher Wang. Yes, it’s just as you thought.” Xu Zihuang, holding Ning Tian’s hand, followed beside Wang Yan. Han Ruoruo was on Wang Yan’s other side.
