Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

"But this room smells so good! And this bed, it feels so soft~~"

Luo Ranyu slowly opened her eyes, intending to check the soul clock on the wall to confirm the time, but was instantly shocked by the style of the room.

The walls are covered in pink wallpaper, decorated with pink flowers and gold star patterns, creating a warm and dreamy atmosphere;

A soft, plush carpet was laid on the floor, embroidered with several large peach blossoms. The exquisite craftsmanship gave it a luxurious and expensive feel.

The curtains are pink with lace trim and decorated with star and moon patterns, giving them a dreamy feel.

Luo Ranyu took a deep breath, the fresh floral scent mixed with the warm aura of soul power filling his nostrils. After resting for an unknown amount of time, his mental energy had fully recovered, giving him a clear and refreshed feeling. "So, this is Xi'er's room?" Luo Ranyu slowly turned his head to look at the small bed he was on.

The bedding and pillows on the bed are all pink. The silk quilt is embroidered with small flower patterns and feels light, soft, breathable, and comfortable. The cotton mattress is very soft and inlaid with pink lace, making it look exceptionally delicate and full of girlish charm.

"Hoo~" Luo Ranyu sighed, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He slowly got out of bed and then noticed that on another empty bed, Hua Xi'er was lying quietly on her side. Even when she was sleeping, a serene smile appeared on her face, which softened his heart.

Luo Ranyu frowned slightly, her mind filled with countless thoughts. This kind girl had been incredibly friendly to her ever since they met, always doing some strange and heartwarming things.

Upon their first meeting, he was given a Red Mango Fruit. After eating it, he immediately leveled up two levels, which surprised and delighted him. Two levels! Some people only level up two levels a year! Its value was unimaginable.

Later, he dared not accept her things casually anymore, but the girl was extremely persistent and still sent him small gifts from time to time.

Once, a flower she gave him, seemingly ordinary, emitted an aura that could directly increase cultivation speed by 10%. Startled, Luo Ranyu moved the flower from the flowerbed outside his dormitory to his room that very night, carefully tending to it. Now, the flowerbed outside his dormitory is filled with flowers she gave him. Some are simply beautiful, while others are highly beneficial to cultivation. Anyone passing by can't help but stop to admire them, taking in the beauty of their blooms.

Now, in order to help herself solve the problem of not being able to fall asleep, she took out... Luo Ranyu unconsciously looked at the Dream Lotus on the table, which emitted a faint golden light.

She probably didn't know which room she was staying in, and simply settled herself in her own room! And she herself was sleeping on a simple flat bed! Who is she? Why is she being so kind to me? How can there be such an incredibly kind girl in this world! A girl like that must be the little princess of some wealthy family! And I'm just a homeless orphan…

Just as Luo Ranyu was lost in thought, he suddenly saw the pink flower bud that Hua Xi'er was holding slowly blooming, revealing the delicate stamens inside, which startled him. A moment later, the bud blossomed into a beautiful epiphyllum flower.

Just as Luo Ranyu was wondering, the girl slowly opened her eyes, and her bright, beautiful eyes immediately met his. Their eyes locked.

Hua Xi'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, gently put away the epiphyllum in her hand, and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Ah, Brother Ran Yu, you're awake!"

Luo Ranyu lowered her head slightly, "Yes, thank you, I'm sorry to have troubled you!" Luo Ranyu didn't say much. If the gifts she had given him before were icing on the cake, then this time, when he was exhausted and unable to walk, simply letting him fall asleep was like sending charcoal in the snow, relieving his physical and mental fatigue.

This gratitude was heavier than I had imagined, but it did not turn into feelings of inferiority or shame; it simply transformed into affection for her.

Besides Luo Ranyu's lack of excessive sensitivity to self-esteem, it was also because Hua Xier, this elfin girl, had extremely high emotional intelligence. She was so adept at winning someone over or getting closer to them; besides giving gifts and favors, she could also constantly ask them for small favors.

For example, let him unleash the spatial path and experience the thrill of time travel;

Or perhaps he could use his healing light to heal the injured kitten;

Of course, it could also cause him some minor trouble...

At this moment, Hua Xi'er smiled with satisfaction, stood up, picked up the Dream Lotus from the table, and placed it in Luo Ranyu's hand.

"Brother Ranyu, take this and put it by your bedside. When you sleep, channel some of your soul power into it. It releases the fragrance of lotus flowers, which can help you relax!"

Luo Ranyu thanked Hua Xier again, but she changed the subject.

"Oh dear, it's already 7:30! Hurry up, we have class!"

"Huh? Isn't today the weekend?"

"No way! Brother Ranyu, you've slept for two days and two nights! So, today is Monday!"

Luo Ranyu's pupils contracted slightly: "Uh, two days! Two nights? I actually slept in a girl's room for two days and two nights!"

After that two-day, two-night nap in Hua Xi'er's room, everything seemed to have returned to normal. Hua Xi'er was still like a clingy little tail, following Luo Ranyu around all day, sometimes dragging him to stroll through the academy's snack street, and sometimes pestering him to show off his soul skills.

But Luo Ranyu's mindset has quietly changed.

He became increasingly diligent, and if Hua Xi'er hadn't dragged him out to play, he could have spent the whole day quietly cultivating in the cultivation room by himself.

In his view, only by constantly becoming stronger could he live up to Hua Xi'er's unconditional kindness, and at least possess the ability to protect this innocent girl. The insomnia that once plagued him had now become an aid to his cultivation—since he couldn't sleep, he would use the nighttime hours to cultivate as well.

In this way, he not only worked harder than ordinary students, but also spent nearly 70% more time cultivating than others, day and night, week after week, without ever stopping.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Over the past five months, Luo Ranyu has been diligently studying the academy's theoretical knowledge while also taking time to delve into the unfamiliar cultivation techniques that remain in her mind.

He still doesn't know why these memories exist. He only knows that when he woke up in the Star Dou Great Forest, the cultivation methods of these techniques were engraved in his mind. However, he had been preoccupied with the mystery of his origins and the foundation of his cultivation, and hadn't been able to calmly try them out. But he knows that once he masters them, his close combat ability will definitely increase significantly!
