Douluo Continent: Azure Dragon Slays Evil, Qilin Suppresses the World

Xuanqing began cultivating according to the Chaos Yin Yang Codex. He sat cross-legged on the altar and circulated the cultivation technique.

The surrounding soul power surged wildly, and in just one night, he felt that the soul power in his body had grown significantly.

This was still because he hadn't been cultivating for very long; his innate soul power limited his speed, taking him only an afternoon and a third of an evening.

This is his limit; if he were to cultivate his meridians any further, he would feel like they were about to explode.

At this rate, he will definitely be able to break through to the next level in a month at most. The little Qilin's cultivation speed is half that of him.

Xuanqing shook his head, banishing these thoughts from his mind.

"Sleep! Sleep!"

Xuan Qing was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open. He exited the space and fell asleep immediately.

When Xuanqing woke up the next morning, it was already bright. She quickly cooked some rice porridge, drank a few mouthfuls, and then packed her things to prepare for departure.

As he passed by the village chief's house, he saw the village chief in the yard: "Uncle, I'll come back when I'm free this weekend."

The village chief nodded: "Be careful on the road, and come back if anything happens."

Xuan Qing waved his hand, slung his small bundle over his shoulder, and set off. Half an hour later, he arrived at Tianyuan City.

The name of this city is indeed very interesting, because less than 300 meters behind the city is Daotianyuan.

The abyss was frighteningly wide, at least two hundred meters away from the other side, with a swaying iron suspension bridge in the middle.

It is said that the bridge was barely built with the help of a flying-type Soul Master at the Soul Saint level.

However, Xuanqing doesn't need to walk across that bridge; otherwise, given his fear of heights, his legs would probably go weak after he went up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, went into the city to find out the location of the academy, and soon found the Tianyuan Primary Soul Master Academy.

He went directly to the dean's office.

Xuan Qing knocked politely on the door: "Hello."

A voice came from behind the door: "Come in."

Xuanqing pushed open the door and went inside. Inside sat a woman in her forties.

The woman looked up at him: "You must be the child that Xiao Li introduced, right? My surname is Meng, you can just call me Director Meng."

Xuan Qing nodded.

Director Meng sized him up a few times and took out a form from the drawer.

"You don't need to pay tuition; your village's work-study student spot is still with you. But if you want to live in a dormitory by yourself, then you'll have to pay."

She lowered her voice.

"One gold soul coin per semester. Just don't tell anyone, because you're one of our own, this is a perk you get."

Xuan Qing was overjoyed. He was worried because he was living in a dormitory and couldn't enter the space to cultivate.

He immediately said, "I'd better live by myself. Too many people will make it too noisy and difficult to cultivate."

Director Meng smiled and nodded: "That's true. There are all sorts of people among the work-study students, and they all live in the same dormitory."

"Even a normal dormitory has at least four people. With your talent, if you cultivate diligently, you might become a Great Soul Master by graduation. It would be such a pity if you were to go astray with them."

Xuan Qing nodded: "If there's nothing else, I'll head to my dorm now."

Director Meng called out to him as he was about to leave.

"Wait, since you live alone, you're exempt from the part-time job. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know. But if you do tell anyone..."

She gave Xuanqing a meaningful look.

Xuan Qing immediately understood: "Did you say anything just now?"

Then he turned around and left.

Director Meng chuckled to himself, knowing that this young man was quite shrewd.

Xuanqing found his dormitory and pushed open the door to find it empty, with nothing but a wooden bed board inside.

He pursed his lips, then went out to buy things. He wandered around the city and found a general store. The owner was a smiling fat man.

"Boss, how much for a quilt and a set of daily necessities?"

The boss's eyes darted around: "Ten Silver Soul Coins."

Xuan Qing chuckled: "Boss, do I look like a fool? Be honest, I'm supposed to stay here for six years."

The boss wasn't annoyed when he was exposed; he just chuckled twice.

"Five Silver Soul Coins. The quality of our products is absolutely guaranteed. If they break within six months of normal use, I'll replace them with new ones."

"That's more like it."

Xuan Qing paid and left with the items. He found a secluded corner, and with a thought, put everything into his spatial storage.

Then he went to a stall and bought some food. On his way back to school, seeing that no one was around, he secretly put a large rock from the roadside into his spatial storage. He wanted to test the power of the Qilin Seal.

After returning to his dormitory, closing the door, and cleaning up, he immediately entered his spatial dimension, where the little Qilin flew out from his chest.

"Try out a new skill."

He had the little Qilin try to accelerate the flow of time, and a nine-colored halo appeared on the little Qilin's body.

The surrounding air seemed to distort for a moment, but only for three seconds before Xuan Qing felt completely drained.

The flow of time only accelerated for a moment, and the spatial gate reopened after the soul power was restored.

Entering and exiting through the portal, although the person moved over a hundred meters, they were drained of all their energy again.

Xuan Qing slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn! This is incredibly energy-consuming."

However, they also figured out the consumption of the space gate and time acceleration.

"These two things are amazing life-saving skills, but we really can't afford to use them."

After resting for a while, Xuan Qing had a thought, and the Qilin Seal appeared in his hand.

He slammed his fist into the rock, and there was a loud bang!

The stone was smashed to pieces, and the parts that did not break down turned into powder.

Xuan Qing's eyes widened: "This power... if someone were to be hit by it unexpectedly, even a Title Douluo's head wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?"

Unfortunately, it could only be used as a brick in his hands. He ate some dry food he bought at noon for dinner and then went to sleep.

The next morning, during the opening ceremony, Xuanqing was drowsy listening to the lecture in the square.

When Xuanqing went to class, the teacher only taught the most basic knowledge. After listening for a whole morning, he found it really boring.

After school, he went to see Director Meng, who was looking at documents and was somewhat surprised to see Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Director, I would like to apply for self-study."

Director Meng frowned slightly: "Why? Are you falling behind in the lessons?"

Xuan Qing spoke frankly: "It's not that I can't keep up, it's that it's too simple. I can learn ordinary knowledge on my own, but as for those profound and unique experiences, even the academy can't teach them."

Director Meng stared at him for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, but you will be assessed every month. If you fail even once, you'll have to attend class."

Xuanqing nodded in agreement, and from then on his life became stable.

I go to the library to read in the morning, cultivate in the dormitory in the afternoon, and familiarize myself with the little Qilin's abilities in the evening.

He discovered that he could also use the little Qilin's abilities, with exactly the same effect, but he wasn't proficient enough yet.

He would go back to his little shabby house on the weekend, get a good night's sleep, and visit the village chief.

Days passed by, and half a year flew by. Xuanqing's life was monotonous and even a little boring.

Director Meng wondered how he managed to persevere until the day of the final exam.

She personally tested Xuanqing's soul power, and the crystal ball's light gradually increased, eventually stabilizing at level nine.

Director Meng nearly jumped out of his chair: "Level nine? You advanced four levels in half a year? How did you do that?"

Xuan Qing dodged the question by saying, "I'm trying to improve the basic Ming idea. Although it's dangerous, it's indeed fast."

Director Meng took a deep breath; she knew how difficult it was to improve the meditation method.

Many people have tried it, but few have succeeded. And once you do succeed, it is definitely the one that is best suited to you.

"be safe."

In the end, that was all she could say.

Director Meng was still in shock after Xuan Qing left.

"This kid is walking a tightrope, but if he succeeds, his future achievements will be limitless."
