Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 17 Several Years

The meeting with Huo Wu was just a minor incident. After returning to the academy, Xiao Yu, who had broken through to level 20, was immediately transferred to the elite class under the special care of Dean Gao Huan. With the strength of his martial soul and his exquisite control over soul power, he quickly became the top student in the academy.

Time flies like an arrow; three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Because Xiao Yu was a year older when he enrolled, he is now at the point of graduation.

. . . . . . . . . .

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight gently shone down. On the college road, under the shade of the trees, a young couple was strolling.

The man was Xiao Yu. Because Soul Masters develop much faster than ordinary people, Xiao Yu, who was only a little over eleven years old, was already over 1.8 meters tall. He was strong, well-proportioned, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and had a delicate face. He was definitely a first-class handsome man.

The female classmate next to him was Ye Lingling. She wore a tight black dress that accentuated her slender figure, and her long, flowing blue hair cascaded down her back. Her deep blue eyes were bright and lovely.

As the sole inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia, Ye Lengleng's cultivation level is also quite high. Although the cultivation of the auxiliary type is slower, Ye Lengleng broke through to the Great Soul Master realm a year ago, and her current soul power cultivation level is around level 23 to 24.

"Cold."

The two walked together for a while before Xiao Yu broke the silence, saying, "I submitted my graduation application to the academy today, and I will be leaving the academy no later than the day after tomorrow."

"Um."

Ye Leng Leng nodded gently. Xiao Yu had mentioned this important matter to her several times before, and she also knew the rules of the Junior Soul Master Academy. Xiao Yu was indeed due to graduate.

Over the years, the two could not be said to be inseparable, but they could be seen discussing and exchanging ideas intimately from time to time after class. As time went by, Ye Lengleng's heart had developed strange feelings. As a young girl, she did not understand what these feelings were. She only knew that she was reluctant to see Xiao Yu leave.

"Brother Xiao Yu, you could actually consider applying to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Ye Lengleng suddenly thought of a perfect solution. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She said, "Our Nine Heart Begonia family has always had a good relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire. I can ask my grandfather and father to help me get a recommendation for admission. With your qualifications, passing the assessment will definitely not be a problem."

After a pause, a blush rose on Ye Lengleng's cheeks, and her voice softened: "Actually, my grandfather has already made arrangements for me. After I graduate next year, I will also go to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so that we can be together again."

This little girl!

Looking at Ye Lengleng, who was somewhat shy yet excited, Xiao Yu smiled inwardly. Perhaps at the beginning, Xiao Yu approached Ye Lengleng simply to cultivate a good relationship with her family, but as time went by, he gradually became attracted to her. Her kindness and her timid and shy demeanor during conversations touched his heartstrings.

Unfortunately, this time, he could only ultimately disappoint Ye Lengleng's good intentions.

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Leng Leng, I know you mean well. But the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not suitable for me."

"Huh? Why?"

Ye Lengleng, who had finally come up with a solution, felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. She couldn't help but feel resentful, blinking her blue eyes at Xiao Yu, and couldn't help but advise, "Brother Xiao Yu, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the largest Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. Its facilities are unimaginably complete. Why don't you want to go?"

"But in all these years, have you ever heard of any outstanding Soul Masters who are renowned throughout the mainland graduating from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Xiao Yu countered with a question to Ye Lengleng, then continued, "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy, backed by the Heaven Dou Empire, has gained access to abundant teaching resources and equipment, but this has also limited the academy's development. I remember that to apply to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, besides those with family recommendations like Lengleng, one must have a noble title."

The influx of nobles has created a chaotic and corrupt atmosphere throughout the academy. Cases of bullying men and women, and theft and robbery are countless. Leng Leng, your family has good relations with the Heavenly Dou Empire; I'm sure you've heard about this too.

Ye Leng Leng remained silent. She did know some of these things, especially the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who had enrolled two years ago. He had fully displayed his spoiled nature and, relying on his uncle, Prince Xue Xing, who was in charge of the academy's affairs, had committed countless heinous crimes.

"and."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yu finally decided to tell Ye Lengleng about the academy: "Lengleng, I actually come from a sect as well, but our sect has been in seclusion for a thousand years and has long lost its former glory. But now the sect plans to emerge again and, in order to make a name for itself, we plan to start by establishing an academy."

"Brother Xiao Yu, do you want to stand out in the Soul Master Competition and leave an impression of your sect in the Soul Master world, so that it will be easier for you to recruit free Soul Masters in the future?"

Ye Lengleng was extremely intelligent and instantly understood Xiao Yu's intention.

"good!"

Xiao Yu affirmed, then gave Ye Lengleng an apologetic look: "So, I'm sorry, Lengleng, I really can't accompany you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy this time."

"I understand, Brother Xiao Yu."

Ye lowered her head coldly, her expression gloomy, biting her lip as she said, "They all say a man should prioritize his career..."

"Silly girl!"

Xiao Yu chuckled, raised his hand and patted Ye Lengleng's small, delicate head, saying in a doting voice, "I'm just not going to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it's not like I'm going to cut off contact with you. We can keep in touch by letter, and I'll come to see you when I have the chance."

"Really?"

Ye Lengleng excitedly raised her head, her small eyes darting around, sparkling with light.

"certainly!"

Xiao Yu nodded heavily. Whether it was out of his unusual feelings for Ye Lengleng or for the sake of his future development, he would definitely come to find Ye Lengleng.

"Silly girl, we're still young. We'll have plenty of time in the future. After we graduate from the advanced soul master academy, outstanding soul masters will choose to travel the continent to hone their combat skills and broaden their experience. We can travel together then."

"good!"

Ye Lingling excitedly agreed, but suddenly seemed to remember something, blushed, and lowered her head.

. . . . . . . . . .

Two days later, Xiao Yu bid farewell to Dean Gao Huan, who had been taking care of him, Dean Gao Jue, Ye Lengleng, and several other classmates with whom he had a good relationship, and then left the academy.

Meanwhile, in Holy Soul Village of Notting City, a thousand miles away from Mingjing Academy, the blind god Wang Su Yuntao was looking at the boy in front of him with a shocked gaze: "The useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass actually has innate full soul power."
