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

"Senior, let me take a look first." Xu Zihuang nodded with a smile.

There were quite a few people in the shop looking to buy flowers, and the vast majority of them were upperclassmen in Shrek Academy uniforms. Hearing the conversation between the two, many people turned their attention to Xu Zihuang with great interest.

The initial doubt in his eyes instantly turned into surprise, and finally his eyes lit up.

The beautiful flowers around him seemed to serve as a mere backdrop to Xu Zihuang at this moment.

Her exquisite features were flawless, with a few strands of purple hair cascading naturally down her high nose bridge, her temples adorned with the same purple hair that mingled with her medium-length black hair at the back.

The deep purple eyes that exude nobility, paired with the gentle smile at the corners of her mouth, create a striking contrast that is both striking and harmonious.

"Wanwan, I think I'm in love."

"Stop being so infatuated. You said the same thing when you first met Senior Brother Bei."

"To be honest, I think this junior is much better looking than Senior Bei. There's a saying, oh right. This junior perfectly embodies what it means to be three parts indifference, three parts gentleness, and four parts nonchalance."

"..."

Two female students in yellow school uniforms were whispering to each other.

Xu Zihuang pretended not to hear, but inwardly he was complaining.

"I didn't even realize I had a talent for making pie charts."

He didn't bother to pay attention to their subsequent conversation and slowly walked to a rare species of Cymbidium orchid that exuded a rich and delicate fragrance.

When he was exiled to a remote island overseas, there were exotic Cymbidium orchids planted in the flowerbed in front of the castle.

This type of Cymbidium has an elegant name called "Ink Snow Princess". Its petals are a dark purple that leans towards black, giving it a mysterious aura and a kind of sinister, dark look.

From childhood, he had a special fondness for this exotic orchid, the Mo Xue Ji.

Moreover, the reason he cared so much about this Snow Maiden was because he sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from it by projecting his spiritual power.

This is a symbol of a plant evolving into a plant-type soul beast, meaning that the Mo Xue Ji in front of us can actually be considered a ten-year-level plant-type soul beast.

However, none of the people present, including the sixth-grade senior who was the shop owner, were aware of this.

Otherwise, the price wouldn't only be listed as one Gold Soul Coin.

Mo Xueji's floral fragrance has a calming and concentration-enhancing effect, and after advancing to a plant-type soul beast, it even has the effect of promoting the growth of a soul master's spiritual power. It is highly sought after by high-level soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire.

However, Mo Xueji, who successfully advanced to a plant-type soul beast, was extremely rare. Back then, as the only son of the Purple Emperor King, he only managed to collect two of them.

"Bang bang bang—" A series of crisp footsteps came from behind, causing Xu Zihuang to turn around and look.

Then, the sixth-grade female student who was the shop owner arrived not far behind him with another girl with long light green hair.

The long-haired girl appeared to be around the same age as Xu Zihuang, wearing a light green dress that matched her hair color, clearly indicating she was also a freshman at Shrek Academy. Her long hair cascaded down her back, and her dark green eyes exuded gentleness; her delicate and fragile demeanor naturally evoked feelings of pity.

Upon seeing Xu Zihuang's face, the young woman paused slightly, a hint of shyness flashing in her gentle eyes, but her demeanor remained poised and graceful. She was clearly a scion of a prominent Soul Master family.

The shop owner, a senior student, familiarly took the girl's wrist, feigning a pleading expression.

"How about it, Yoona? Why don't you give this Snow Maiden plant that I specially saved for you to this junior? I'll bring you another one next time I go to Sunset Forest."

"Since you've already said that, why are you still asking me?"

Yoona gave him a playful glare, but there was no hint of anger in her gentle eyes.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Zihuang noticed a key piece of information.

"Senior Qin, are there any other types of Mo Xue Ji in Sunset Forest?"

"Yes, there are, and quite a lot of them." Senior Qin nodded with a smile.

"However, this involves my senior's money-making scheme. Even if you're good-looking, I won't reveal the exact location."

Xu Zihuang shook his head with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, senior, I was being presumptuous. I just really do like the Mo Xue Ji orchid. If you have any more in stock in the future, could you please contact me as soon as possible?"

"Of course," Senior Qin readily agreed, then suddenly asked.

"By the way, junior, which class are you in this year's freshmen?"

"Senior Sister Qin, I'm from Class 9 of the freshmen, and my name is Yu Tianhuang."

"You're also in Class 9 of the freshmen?!" Senior Qin looked at Xu Zihuang in surprise, then glanced at Yoona beside her.

"I didn't expect you and Yoona to be in the same class."

Noticing Xu Zihuang's gaze, Yoona smiled gently and politely introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Nammon Yoona."

Nammon Yoon-ah?

Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded politely in return.

Just then, he sensed that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of ​​Spirit had awakened once more. Understanding this, he took out a gold soul coin from his soul tool and handed it to Senior Sister Qin, then held the Ink Snow Princess in both hands and bid farewell to the two of them.

"Senior Sister Qin, Classmate Nanmen, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Chapter 64 The First Day of School

Walking on the main road, Xu Zihuang immersed his attention in his own spiritual world.

This time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't react with surprise as usual. Instead, it mobilized its vast mental power to probe the direction of the flower shop from before.

Xu Zihuang asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?"

In his opinion, there shouldn't be anything in that flower shop that would make Tianmeng Bingcan so concerned. Among those flowers, only the Mo Xue Ji in his hand was a ten-year-level plant-type soul beast; the others were just ordinary plants for ornamental purposes.

"Brother's perception was indeed correct." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's usually lazy voice became unusually serious.

"Zihuang, the senior student Qin you just met has accumulated a large amount of terrifying poison in her body. This poison should originate from her own martial soul. Moreover, it has been passed down through generations via blood relations, and as the poison accumulates, its toxicity becomes even more potent. Even in the far north where I used to live, there are probably few soul beast races that could resist this kind of poison. Let alone you human soul masters. Zihuang, just to be on the safe side, you should stay away from your senior student in the future. I don't want to die like this!"

"A poison-attribute martial soul?" Xu Zihuang frowned slightly.

Seeing that Xu Zihuang seemed very interested in this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was somewhat proud, as it was a rare opportunity to show off in front of Xu Zihuang.

"It should be a beast spirit with the poison attribute. Only when you human beast spirit masters use spirit possession will the poison attached to the spirit invade your body."

"Huh? This Mo Lan in your hand has actually evolved into a plant-type soul beast. It's a pity that its age is too young. If it were a Mo Lan with a cultivation of over ten thousand years, consuming its petals would greatly benefit your spiritual power." Only then did Tianmeng Ice Silkworm notice the Mo Xue Ji in Xu Zihuang's hand. Seeing that Xu Zihuang still had that thoughtful look on his face, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone suddenly became much more sincere.

"Zihuang, I'm just reminding you, I don't mean to interfere with anything you do."

“I know. We’re all in this together now, sharing both prosperity and adversity. Even if it’s to avoid implicating you, I won’t risk my life.” Composing himself, Xu Zihuang replied with a smile.

"I've always been very careful with my life, as you know."

"Hehe, good to know." Xu Zihuang's words pleased Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Then I'll continue sleeping. I'll probably be in a deep sleep for about a year. Merging with you before took too much to my spiritual essence."

The relationship between the two quietly grew much closer because of this conversation.

While Xu Zihuang was communicating with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in the Sea of ​​Spirit, he had already returned to the east gate of Shrek City.

Tuoba Yu was standing outside the east gate. Upon seeing Xu Zihuang, the two greeted each other and then returned to their dormitory together.

It must be said that Tuoba Yu's way of dealing with people is quite mature for his age.

It's such a small thing, yet it's easy to make people feel good about you.

Soul Masters usually replace sleep with meditation and cultivation, and the two were no exception. After returning to their dormitory and quickly washing up, they sat cross-legged on their respective beds and entered a meditative state.

Although the two have many differences in personality, they are remarkably consistent in their diligence in cultivation.

The night flew by.

The morning light shone through the window and fell on the eerie black-purple petals of the Snow Maiden, exuding vitality.

Just like the noisy freshman dormitory.

Today is the first day of school for new students at Shrek Academy.

Although the dormitory had good soundproofing, it couldn't stop the entire dormitory building from shaking. Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu ended their cultivation at the same time.

Unlike Xu Zihuang's calm and composed attitude, Tuoba Yu still had some expectations for the day the class started.

He had heard from the senior students in charge of freshman registration that the quality of the female students in their Class 9 was the highest among the ten freshman classes.

"Tuoba Yu, I suggest you try to control your facial expressions when you're thinking about something in the future." Xu Zihuang stood up, patted Tuoba Yu on the shoulder, and then went to the wardrobe to take out a white school uniform and put it on.

Tuoba Yu, unaware of what was going on, also came to his wardrobe. When he saw his own lewd expression in the mirror, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Looking at Xu Zihuang, whose noble air was still evident even in his school uniform, he had to admit that some things are simply beyond one's reach.

……

In a private classroom office on the third floor of the freshman teaching building.

A glamorous female teacher, who looked to be around twenty-eight years old, sat behind her desk with a smug expression.

On her desk lay an open, beautifully written letter.

The letter was stamped with the two large characters 'Longcheng' in gilded gold.

The other certificate reads as follows.

Name: Yu Tianhuang

Martial Soul: Golden Eyes

Soul Power: Level 31

life experience:……

This female teacher can definitely be described as young and beautiful, with a faint smile on her lips, possessing the unique charm of her age.

"There are four Soul Masters among the new students, two of whom are in my class. Zhou Yi, let's see what you have to offer this time."

"Teacher Mu, class is about to start." A short while later, a young female teacher who looked to be under twenty years old gently reminded her at the office door.

She is the homeroom teacher of Class 10, the freshman class next door, and also a graduate of Shrek Academy from the previous year.

The person she referred to as Teacher Mu was Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Class 9, the freshman class where Xu Zihuang was enrolled.

"Coming right away." Mu Jin smiled and replied, locking the letter and carrying the prepared lesson plan out of the office.

The two walked side by side toward their respective classes of new students.

The hibiscus, basking in the spring breeze, wore crystal high heels, the crisp sound of the heels hitting the ground echoing continuously in the corridor.

On the other side, Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu arrived at the door of Class 9, the freshman class, almost the instant the bell rang.
