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

Sometimes you feel that the rules are too rigid, but actually it's because you lack the ability or resources to change them.

Delori's talent is undeniable, and he is the son of the Duke of the White Tiger. Therefore, making an exception is perfectly reasonable.

Just then, the sound of footsteps could be faintly heard outside the Sea God Pavilion.

Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "Alright, Tianhuang, go ahead. Ning Tian's martial soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and he is the heir of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He is more than worthy of you. Once you grow up, with the assistance of Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, this era will undoubtedly belong to you."

Old Song, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat moved, and looked at Xu Zihuang with a smile.

Xu Zihuang respectfully took his leave and went outside the Sea God Pavilion.

Just as Elder Xuan said, the owner of the footsteps just now was Ning Tian.

Today, Ning Tian was dressed in an elegant white dress. The spotless dress had a slightly fluttering hem and was printed with dark blue leaf-shaped patterns, which originated from an extremely rare plant-type soul beast.

The pattern begins at Ning Tian's slender waist and extends all the way to the hem of her skirt.

Ning Tian's long platinum blonde hair was tied up with a floral-patterned dark blue hairband that matched the pattern of her long dress, which complemented her light blue eyes.

Xu Zihuang stepped forward and grasped Ning Tian's hand.

How did you know I was here?

Ning Tian took Xu Zihuang's arm and said with a smile, "I went to the training ground just now and didn't see you, so I knew you were here. Senior Sister Xiaoya also went to Tang Sect to prepare some things. Their Tang Sect's soul tools will be auctioned at the Nine Treasures Pavilion auction house in the next few days."

"By the way, what did Elder Xuan and the others say?"

"Elder Xuan has agreed. However, Elder Song will be going to the Star Dou Great Forest with us. It seems that your identity as the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is too special, and it has to attract the attention of the academy." Xu Zihuang couldn't help but tease.

Ning Tian slightly suppressed the smile on her pretty face and said seriously, "Tianhuang, if you don't gain anything from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, you can come back to the sect with me after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament ends, and then let your great-grandfather take you to the sea to hunt that deep-sea demon whale."

“These aren’t urgent for now,” Xu Zihuang chuckled meaningfully. He was now almost certain that the deep-sea demon whale Ning Tian mentioned was the Lan Fuzi he had recently encountered.

With the telepathic messages he sent to Lan Fuzi, coupled with the images he saw through the future vision ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body, all the foreshadowing had already been laid.

However, he couldn't tell Ning Tian any of this for the time being.

Thinking of this, Xu Zihuang glanced at Ning Tian and said meaningfully, "Are you in such a hurry to take me home?"

Ning Tian, ​​whose thoughts had been seen through, didn't try to hide anything. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she glared at Xu Zihuang.

"Then would you like to come back with me?"

Before they knew it, the two had reached the mountainside. The lush green leaves of the trees blocked the rising sun, leaving only slivers of warm sunlight to fall on their faces.

Xu Zihuang extended his right hand, lifted Ning Tian's smooth chin, and said gently.

"It's never been a question of whether I'm willing or not, but rather whether you want to or not?"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Ning Tianqiao's face beamed with a sweet smile. She placed her hands on Xu Zihuang's shoulders and stood on tiptoe.

Shrek Academy officially began its holiday yesterday. Of course, a small number of inner court students chose to stay on Seagod Island. Unlike the outer court students, Seagod Island is always open to inner court students.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan went home, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were busy with Tang Sect affairs, and He Caitou was also at the Outer Court Soul Guidance Department making and researching soul guidance devices.

Only Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian were relatively relaxed.

And so, Xu Zihuang accompanied Ning Tian as they strolled around Shrek City, spending another leisurely day together.

The next morning, the two arrived at the main gate of Shrek Academy early.

Although they arrived a little earlier than the agreed time, the rest of the people had arrived even earlier.

Five people stood beneath the tall gatehouse. Leading them was naturally Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the inner courtyard. The other four included Dai Luoli and two male students whom Xu Zihuang had met at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

However, these two male students were among the least talented in cultivation among the inner court disciples, and they did not have any outstanding performance at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

Just like in Xu Zihuang's memories from his previous life, the two male students were Li Yongyue and Mo Xuan.

The last person was undoubtedly Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er was dressed the same as Xu Zihuang had seen her that day, a veil concealing her stunning beauty, her long, wavy pinkish-blue hair pulled back into a ponytail. She had changed into a light green outfit, creating a striking contrast with her pinkish-blue hair.

She was also the first to sense Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian approaching, gazing at the official road connecting to the south gate of Shrek City from afar.

Their eyes met, and Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly. Wang Qiu'er, however, remained indifferent, withdrawing her gaze as if her previous action had been merely an unintentional gesture.

Xu Zihuang, with a normal expression, greeted Zhang Lexuan along with Ning Tian.

"Senior Sister."

Having not yet interacted with other inner court disciples of Shrek Academy, Dai Luoli kept her head down nervously. Upon seeing Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​she quickly approached them with a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yu, Sister Ning."

Zhang Lexuan clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"As inner court students, you should have met each other before and know each other to some extent. However, we have new members joining us for this mission. In order to facilitate cooperation in the Star Dou Great Forest, it is necessary for everyone to introduce themselves. Please briefly state your names, martial spirits, and cultivation levels."

Then, she took the lead in demonstrating.

"My name is Zhang Lexuan, an assistant instructor and student in the Inner Academy. My martial soul is the Moon, and I am a power-attack type battle soul master. This time, I am in charge of leading the team. I have level 86 soul power and do not need any soul rings."

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, everyone except Xu Zihuang was shaken. Even Wang Qiu'er was no exception.

The one with the strongest reaction was naturally Dai Luoli. He subconsciously swallowed and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Level 86 Soul Power? A Soul Douluo?!"

Zhang Lexuan, who looks to be only about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, is actually a Soul Master?

After the initial shock, a burning sensation followed.

This is the true value of the top academy in mainland China!

Zhang Lexuan looked at Xu Zihuang with a gentle smile and said, "Tianhuang, you are the deputy leader of this operation and also the main control Soul Master. It's your turn to introduce yourself."

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly and introduced, "Yu Tianhuang, an inner court student. He has twin martial souls, namely the Golden Eye and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus. He is a control and power-attack type battle soul master, a level 69 Soul Emperor. I am here to add a soul ring to my second martial soul, but my conditions are quite demanding, and it depends more on luck."

This shocked Dai Luoli even more, to the point that she was somewhat numb, staring at Xu Zihuang for a long time without coming back to her senses.

Although Yu Tianhuang's cultivation level was not as high as Zhang Lexuan's, his age was a factor. At seventeen years old, his soul power was as high as level sixty-nine, and he also possessed twin martial souls.

Ning Tian followed closely behind, saying, "Ning Tian, ​​an inner court student, possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as his martial soul, and is a support-type weapon spirit master. He is a level 57 weapon spirit king, has no need for spirit rings, and will be participating in this operation in cooperation with Tian Huang."

Both introductions were brief, but they were anything but ordinary in the ears of the students. Especially Li Yongyue and Mo Xuan, who had personally witnessed Yu Tianhuang's terrifying strength at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event that day. Yu Tianhuang's simple descriptions simply couldn't capture the extent of his extraordinary talent.

Ning Tian's martial soul, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, speaks volumes. He is only the second person in ten thousand years to possess the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

Li Yongyue and Mo Xuan also introduced themselves one after another.

"Li Yongyue, an inner court student, a speed-attack type Battle Soul King, level 60, needs a sixth Soul Ring. His Martial Soul is Moon Blade."

"My name is Mo Xuan, a ranged all-around support-type Battle Soul King, level 60, and I need my sixth Soul Ring. My Martial Soul is an aura, and my melee ability is relatively poor, so I'll have to rely on everyone this time."

Li Yongyue had an ordinary appearance, while the handsome Mo Xuan seemed somewhat shy, as if he rarely interacted with people he wasn't familiar with. Both of them were over twenty-five years old, with Li Yongyue already twenty-seven. Breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm at this age would be considered genius in the outside world, but at Shrek Academy, it would only be enough to barely get into the inner courtyard.

However, Li Yongyue, a special all-around support-type battle spirit master, caught the attention of Ning Tian, ​​who was also a support-type spirit master.

Zhang Lexuan answered Ning Tian's question at the right time.

"Mo Xuan is a special talent specially trained by our inner academy. In individual and team battles, Mo Xuan's support abilities are not outstanding, far inferior to your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Tian. However, he is the only ranged, all-around support-type battle soul master in our academy in nearly a thousand years. You will naturally understand this when you reach the Star Dou realm."

Next up is Wang Qiu'er. Her voice is slightly cool.

"Wang Qiu'er, offensive type, martial soul Golden Dragon Lion. Level 60 soul power, requires a sixth soul ring."

Her introduction was the most concise, and during it, she looked up at the sky, displaying an air of arrogance and aloofness.

Finally, it was Delori's turn.

Dai Luoli was even more embarrassed than Mo Xuan.

"My name is Dai Luoli, my martial soul is the Blood Tiger, and I am a power-attack type battle soul master. I have level 40 soul power and need my fourth soul ring."

"Level 40?" Only Li Yongyue and Mo Xuan reacted to this. Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian knew about it beforehand, Zhang Lexuan had heard about Dai Luoli from Han Ruoruo, and Wang Qiu'er simply didn't care.

Xu Zihuang came to Dai Luoli's rescue, saying, "Luoli is not yet an inner court disciple. His martial soul has mutated, so he is temporarily staying on Seagod Island to cultivate."

Zhang Lexuan said, "Alright, everyone has finished introducing themselves. Tianhuang, you are the main control Soul Master. You will plan the formation for entering the Star Dou Great Forest along the way. If everyone has no further questions, let's set off now."

No one raised any objections to Zhang Lexuan's arrangements. The group then headed southeast towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chapter 358 The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Kamaitachi

Although the group was not very familiar with each other, they acted swiftly and efficiently.

Zhang Lexuan appropriately controlled the pace of travel, clearly taking into account the situation of Ning Tian, ​​Mo Xuan, and Dai Luoli.

Ning Tian and Mo Xuan are both support-type Soul Masters, and their physical attributes are slightly weaker compared to battle-type Soul Masters. Dai Luoli, on the other hand, is limited by her Soul Power cultivation.

Wang Qiu'er appeared very quiet, and from the side, one could see that her eyes remained cold, as if she had put on a barrier around herself, isolating herself from everyone else.

Xu Zihuang glanced at Wang Qiu'er out of the corner of his eye, his mind lost in thought.

They had exchanged memories in the Star Dou Great Forest years ago, which means that Wang Qiu'er knows all of his past experiences.

However, given Wang Qiu'er's personality and stance, he wasn't worried that she would leak this information. Furthermore, when he faced the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi and her daughter, he had used the abilities of his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body to glimpse a much more distant future.

At that time, he had already cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo and suppressed the Demon Emperor from beginning to end.

From this information, we can infer that his identity was not exposed at least during his time at Shrek Academy.

Even while running, Wang Qiu'er's body bounced off the ground with astonishing speed with each touch of her toes. Almost every place she stepped on left a crack, and although she was moving with tremendous strength, she appeared exceptionally graceful.

Wang Qiu'er seemed to notice Xu Zihuang's gaze as well, and she glanced to the side slightly, their eyes briefly meeting.

But in that instant, Xu Zihuang's golden dragon bloodline was unconsciously activated, giving him a feeling of being connected by blood.

Wang Qiu'er was in the same situation; even the power of her Golden Dragon bloodline was suppressed by Xu Zihuang. Her delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly, and the indifference in her eyes melted away, replaced by a more complex expression.

Although the process was extremely humiliating for her, Xu Zihuang did indeed possess her bloodline power. In a sense, they could be considered to be connected by blood.

As a divinely blessed imperial beast, favored by the heavens since birth, she had long harbored a vague premonition that she would one day face a calamity. And that so-called calamity would undoubtedly be related to the humans before her.

Shrek City is not far from the Star Dou Great Forest. Even at this pace, they successfully reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest before noon that day.

Zhang Lexuan instructed everyone to rest where they were.

"Everyone, take a break and get yourself into top condition. After resting for half an hour, we'll enter the Starry Sky."

Xu Zihuang leaned against a huge rock, sat cross-legged, and gave Ning Tian a slight nod.

In front of everyone, Ning Tian's eyes held a hint of shyness, but she sat down next to Xu Zihuang without any hesitation. Because they were going to enter the complex Star Dou Great Forest, she had changed into a close-fitting white outfit beforehand.

Even through the thin clothing, I could clearly feel the warmth of the other person's body.
