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

"Those students whose soul power cultivation has not yet reached level 20, you must work hard during this holiday. Strive to break through level 20 and obtain a soul ring during this period. Only in this way can you prove that your strength has entered the level of a Great Soul Master."

"Having reached the two-ring cultivation level doesn't guarantee you'll pass the upgrade assessment. The specifics depend on the assessment's content. Shrek Academy has always prioritized strength. I can tell you that, based on past practice, each upgrade assessment primarily tests individual strength. Last year, the exam for first-year students moving to second-year required each student to challenge a hundred-year-old soul beast alone under the supervision of a teacher. Remember, alone, without any external assistance. Once the supervising teacher intervened, the assessment ended. This is the academy's most frequently used method. If it's this kind of assessment, you should feel fortunate, as it only tests your pure strength. Besides this, there might be even more difficult assessments that require luck, strength, and your wisdom. However, these higher-level assessments usually appear in the assessments for higher-year students. If nothing unexpected happens, your upgrade assessment will likely be similar."

"I graduated from Shrek Academy myself, and I'll share my experience with you all. At Shrek Academy, the happiest and most exciting time is actually when you pass the promotion exam and start a new year of study. But for most students, the time before the holidays is when hell descends. Unless you don't want to stay in the academy anymore, you know what to do when you go back."

"Alright. That's all I wanted to say. get out of class dismissed. Go back and pack your things." Wang Yan waved his hand, announcing the end of get out of class.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, the excitement in the eyes of the students in Class 1 of the first year diminished considerably, especially those students whose soul power had not yet reached level 20.

There were also some students whose soul power was above level 20, but who lacked the confidence to deal with a hundred-year-old soul beast on their own.

Almost everyone among them possesses a hundred-year soul ring, but how many of them obtained their hundred-year soul rings by hunting soul beasts themselves? Not to mention the unknown class assessment.

Of course, there are also students who have full confidence in their abilities.

"Going back to the dorm to pack my things, time to go home."

Zhou Sichen cheered. Both of his Treasure Manual Martial Soul's Soul Skills summoned a powerful hundred-year-old Soul Beast, making it more than enough for him to deal with a hundred-year-old Soul Beast on his own.

"Squad leader, Jinxuan, Tuoba, let's have a big meal at the Grand Hotel in the North City of Shrek City tonight, it's on me."

"Then you'd better be prepared to bleed a lot." Cao Jinxuan chuckled and exchanged a glance with Tuoba Yu beside him.

Zhou Sichen then patted his chest with a proud expression.

"I have plenty of money."

"Can we be included?" Huang Chutian had joined in the fun at some point. Behind him were a pair of female students who looked exactly alike.

Both female trainees had long blue hair and delicate, rosy cheeks, making them look very cute.

They are the Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo sisters.

Although their individual strength was not outstanding in the class, they possessed a powerful martial soul fusion skill.

Zhou Sichen's smile froze, but thinking that he had already made the promise and that there were two pretty girls, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, around, he instantly felt elated.

"Anyone in the class who has time in the evening is welcome to come. You are all very welcome."

But then, this guy learned what cruelty truly meant.

Except for a few students with withdrawn personalities, almost everyone in Class 1 of the freshmen accepted the assignment.

After spending eight months together, the group had become quite familiar with each other, if not extremely close.

It wasn't that I wanted to take advantage of Zhou Sichen, but simply that the atmosphere was right.

The group also invited Wang Yan and Mu Jin, but the two politely declined.

After agreeing on a time and place to meet that evening, everyone dispersed.

The only ones who didn't get involved were Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao.

Even Xiao Xiao betrayed the organization.

Wang Dong withdrew his gaze and noticed that Huo Yuhao beside him had his head down, his clenched fists with veins bulging, and his body trembling.

"Huo Yuhao, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Huo Yuhao's voice was hoarse, and even trembled slightly.

Wang Dong frowned deeply upon hearing this. Huo Yuhao had been acting strangely for the past eight months, and his patience was wearing thin.

"My good intentions have been taken for granted. It's not like I care about you so much." He scoffed inwardly and quickly left the classroom.

After Wang Dong left the classroom, Wang Yan took out a white application form from his soul tool and placed it on the table in front of Huo Yuhao.

This is to preserve Huo Yuhao's last shred of dignity.

"Huo Yuhao, the academy's rules cannot be changed. If you want to continue studying at the academy, you can consider applying to transfer to the Soul Guidance Department. Think carefully about your choice."

After saying that, Wang Yan sighed and walked out of the freshman class classroom with Mu Jin.

After eight months, how could he not see Huo Yuhao's personality?

Resilient yet overly stubborn, with low self-esteem and sensitivity.

Going to study in the Soul Guidance Department might be a good thing for him. At least the pressure wouldn't be as great as it is in the Martial Soul Department.

Huo Yuhao sat in his seat for a long time before slowly raising his head, revealing a pair of terrifying eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

"Even if I have to go to the Soul Guidance Department, I will definitely stay."

Compared to Huo Yuhao's side, the atmosphere on Xu Zihuang's side was much more cheerful.

They chatted and laughed all the way.

However, when Xu Zihuang arrived at the dormitory entrance, the conversation suddenly stopped.

Nammon Yoon-ah, with her long, light green hair, was standing on the side of the boys' dormitory building. Her dark green eyes gave her a gentle and delicate feeling.

Upon seeing Xu Zihuang and the others, she took the initiative to greet them and handed Xu Zihuang a beautifully crafted letter with a smile.

"Sister Qin graduated and left the academy a few days ago. Before she left, she asked me to give this to you."

Xu Zihuang subconsciously squeezed the letter; it was thick inside, and there seemed to be something else inside.

With a slight thought, he stored it into his soul tool.

Meeting Xu Zihuang's gentle gaze, Nanmen Yun'er opened her red lips as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak. She gave Xu Zihuang a gentle smile and then turned and left.

With her back to everyone, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. She had decided to disappoint Qin Yin's kindness.

The boy, as dazzling as the golden sun, was someone she could simply watch from afar.

Chapter 115 Sunset Forest

That evening, the entire freshman class had a lavish dinner at a high-end hotel in the northern part of Shrek City.

With fifty or sixty people together, it was quite lively, and the party didn't end until almost midnight.

The spending that night even exceeded two thousand gold soul coins.

In the end, Zhou Sichen was not left to bear the burden alone; Xu Zihuang, Cao Jinxuan, and Tuoba Yu each contributed a portion.

When divided up, it only amounts to a few hundred gold soul coins.

It's another morning.

Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu walked along the path by the lake of Haishen Lake.

The lake was shrouded in mist, but as the sun slowly rose, the mist gradually dissipated.

Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu tacitly extended their right hands and clapped them heavily, then looked at each other and smiled.

it is more than words.

"I'm leaving, see you next semester." Tuoba Yu said this and walked away from Shrek Academy with a carefree air.

The area around the east gate of Shrek Academy is always the liveliest when holidays and the start of a new semester are approaching.

But Xu Zihuang's quiet heart remained unmoved, completely out of sync with the hustle and bustle outside.

During his three years of imprisonment on the island, he had long since become accustomed to this loneliness.

He silently returned to his dormitory and lay down on his bed, completely relaxed. Instead of cultivating, he took out the letter that Nanmen Yun'er had given him the day before from his soul tool.

As soon as the seal was opened, a note and an old, yellowed map slipped out.

The note roughly stated that Senior Qin Yin was expressing her gratitude to him. The eight-thousand-year-old Ghost King Vine right arm bone that Nanmen Yun'er had obtained from Mu Jin was ultimately given to Qin Yin.

But both Nanmen Yun'er and Qin Yin understood that all of this was because of Xu Zihuang.

That's how this letter came about.

The map had a very unique feel to it, and when Xu Zihuang unfolded it and saw what was recorded on it, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"This is actually a detailed record of the terrain near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

The document marks some particularly dangerous areas that require attention, such as a layer of natural miasma in the outer area of ​​the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes are located.

On the front of the valley, a large area is covered with thousands of highly poisonous plants called Bilin Qijuehua.

It was also noted that a considerable number of the Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers evolved into Jade Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers, becoming plant-type soul beasts with intelligence.

The Azure Phosphorous Seven-Flaw Flower is one of the most poisonous plants in the world. Its venom is not only highly corrosive, earning it the title of the most corrosive plant, but it also possesses extremely potent neurotoxins. Once contaminated, not only will the body be corroded, but one will also endure intense, instantaneous pain. However, the Azure Phosphorous Seven-Flaw Flower is also extremely rare and precious, the dream of almost every plant-type Soul Master.

If a plant-type Soul Master can find a Jade Phosphorous Seven-Flaw Flower that has become a plant-type Soul Beast, then he will possess the terrifying poison of the Jade Phosphorous Seven-Flaw Flower.

Xu Zihuang quickly recalled the description of the poisonous flower, the Jade Phosphorous Seven Deadly Flowers. He also knew from his memories of his previous life that there was indeed a large area of ​​Jade Phosphorous Seven Deadly Flowers near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The various markings on the map are of different shades and colors, indicating that they were not made in the same era. However, due to the map's unique material, the markings are exceptionally clear.

Most importantly, a relatively safe path leading to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes is also marked on this map.

Xu Zihuang sat up and spread the map out on the bed. He picked up the note again, seemingly lost in thought. Sure enough, there was a message from senior student Qin Yin on the back.

"Junior Brother Yu, this map was passed down from my ancestors. I can't be sure if all the information recorded on it is reliable, after all, with my strength, I've never been able to explore the depths, to get close to that valley. But I've noticed that the closer you get to that valley, the better the plants and flowers grow, and I've even seen some extremely rare and exotic flowers. I personally deduce that there might be a huge treasure land in that valley, possibly nurturing top-tier natural treasures. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well might really exist. Senior Sister's strength and talent are average, and she'll probably never be able to get close to that valley in her lifetime, so I asked Yun'er to pass it on to you. Although I haven't had much contact with you, I can tell you're not the kind of person who acts rashly. But I still want to remind you, you must wait until your strength is sufficient before you go to investigate."

Just as Xu Zihuang was pondering, Tianmeng Bingcan's carefree voice rang in his mind.

"Hmm, I've finally had a good night's sleep. Huh? Zihuang, your soul power has already reached level thirty-eight? As expected of the person I chose, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Hehehehehe..."

Xu Zihuang had sensed the unusual activity in his spiritual sea some time ago, so he was not surprised by the awakening of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, can you take a look at the texture of this map?"

"Hmm?" Tianmeng Bingcan suppressed her excitement and focused her attention on the old map in Xu Zihuang's hand.

"This must have been woven from the silk spun by one of my clansmen. The ice silkworm that spun this silk must have had at least ten thousand years of cultivation. In our ice silkworm clan, it is considered a relatively powerful being."

"Ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said smugly, "Brother can't be wrong. Although our Ice Silkworm clan is not good at fighting, the silk we spin is impervious to water and fire and will last for ten thousand years. Otherwise, why do you think this map could be preserved for so long?"

Therefore, this map should be quite credible.

With that in mind, Xu Zihuang put the map into his soul tool, locked the dormitory door, and left the dormitory building.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked in confusion, "Zihuang, where are you going?"

Sunset Forest.

Since I'm just going to be spending this month-long vacation at Shrek Academy anyway, I might as well go explore Sunset Forest.

He had long coveted the immortal herb within the realm of ice and fire.
