Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Gu Xun'er nodded without hesitation.

Han Feng remained silent for a moment.

"There will be other opportunities to meet in the future."

Han Feng said softly.

Gu Xun'er forced a smile.

"I know, but I just can't bear to part with it."

Han Feng was somewhat helpless for a moment.

I should have known better than to bring this up; it made the girl quite sad.

“I was just planning to go to the east recently. Why don’t you come with me, Xun’er? I’ll take you back to the ancient clan.”

Han Feng suddenly said.

Gu Xun'er's eyes lit up. "Traveling with Mr. Han?"

"Okay!"

She immediately agreed.

Han Feng blinked. The girl's emotions changed quite quickly.

But once you've appeased them, everything will be fine.

Han Feng nodded.

"Alright, go back and get ready, say goodbye to Xian'er and the others, I'll let you know when you're leaving."

Gu Xun'er smiled and nodded, then happily walked out of the room.

Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Instead of sadly waiting for parting, why not take the initiative and make this journey more joyful?

----------

At this time, in the outer courtyard.

Xiao Yan was cultivating alone in the open space behind the mountain.

After this period of training, he successfully became familiar with the battle qi of the Dou Shi realm and broke through to the three-star Dou Shi.

The inner court selection competition will be held in three months.

Xiao Yan plans to break through to the six-star Dou Shi realm before the competition.

On average, one star per month.

This goal might be challenging for the average student, but Xiao Yan is confident in himself.

The Xuanzhong Ruler danced in Xiao Yan's hands, creating a fierce wind.

Han Feng had instructed Xiao Yan on how to use the Earth-rank Dou Technique "Flame Dividing Wave Ruler," and Xiao Yan was now quite proficient at it.

Using Earth-rank combat techniques at the Dou Shi level and using them at the Dou Zhe level are two completely different concepts.

When a Dou Shi's internal Dou Qi is liquefied, the energy circulation efficiency is higher, and the power and burden of using Earth-rank Dou Techniques are greatly improved.

With just this one move, "Flame Dividing Wave Ruler," Xiao Yan was confident he could pass the Inner Academy selection competition.

It's not impossible for them to even compete for a top-five finish.

"I'll be able to see Xun'er in three months!"

Sweat dripped from Xiao Yan's cheeks as he continued to wield the black ruler towards his goal.

"You're quite serious about this."

At that moment, a clear, cold voice rang out from the darkness.

Xiao Yu crossed her arms and walked towards Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yu? What brings you here?"

Xiao Yan looked at the newcomer in surprise and stopped what he was doing.

"That's rude! You should call her 'cousin'!"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was covered in sweat, Xiao Yu felt a little dazed.

The little pervert she once looked down on has not only caught up with her, but has also shown amazing fighting power.

Xiao Yu felt breathless after just using that ruler technique.

Could his strength have already surpassed mine?

Xiao Yu couldn't help but think to herself.

"looking for me?"

Xiao Yan smiled casually and wiped the sweat from his face.

Although Xiao Yu had once suppressed him, the two had reconciled.

"It's nothing, just that Instructor Ruolin asked me to remind you that there's a class assignment tomorrow, so remember to report for duty."

Xiao Yan felt a headache coming on when he heard about the class assignment.

He didn't want to waste time doing those things.

However, there's no way around it; within the academy, groups cannot be ignored.

"Ok."

Xiao Yan nodded and agreed.

"You should get some rest. You're working so hard all day. Too much of a strain is bad."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before reminding him.

Xiao Yan returned the smile.

"understood."

Chapter 167 Heading to the Heavenly Serpent Empire

"The key to this move is here."

Han Feng held a jade flute and touched Lin Xian'er, guiding her in the practice of the new combat technique.

Lin Xian'er took light steps, her hands gathering purple poisonous battle qi, which she continuously unleashed in the form of streaks of battle qi.

"The Nine Yin Mystic Hand combines finger techniques, claw techniques, and palm techniques into one. Once mastered, it can condense the Nine Yin Mystic Fiend and dominate the world."

Although this fighting technique is at the high-level Earth rank, if mastered, it can unleash the power of a near-Heaven rank fighting technique.

A cultivator doesn't actually need to master too many combat techniques; mastering just one superior combat technique is enough for a lifetime.

Many combat techniques require a cultivator to practice and hone them throughout their life.

Under Han Feng's guidance, Lin Xian'er has mastered the basic methods of cultivating the "Nine Yin Profound Hand".

Han Feng told her about his plan to go to the Eastern Xuan Continent.

"Master, can't I go?"

“This trip isn’t a vacation, and you’re unfamiliar with the area. You should stay at Canaan Academy and wait for me to return.”

"Ok."

"Master, how long will you be gone this time?"

"I don't know, it'll probably take a few months."

Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up. "Master, I have to go with you!"

"what?"

"I'll be breaking through to the Dou Wang level in just a few months, and I'll need you by my side then."

Han Feng paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"alright."

This girl has an endless variety of ways to be clingy.

"In that case, I'll just send Qinglin to the Heavenly Serpent Palace and then take you on your way."

"The Heavenly Serpent Palace, what kind of place is that?"

"An ancient force, an organization where humans and snake people coexist. There is a legacy of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, just like the Poison Pill Technique you cultivate."

"Oh."

Lin Xian'er nodded.

If that's the case, then Qinglin definitely needs to learn a technique unique to his physique.

The importance of the "Poison Pill Method" to Lin Xian'er, who possesses the Calamity Poison Body, is self-evident.

If it weren't for the "Poison Pill Method," Lin Xian'er probably wouldn't be able to live freely now.

The same must be true for the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil.

"Okay, let's continue."

After their break, Han Feng and Lin Xian'er got up and continued their cultivation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Han Feng finished his preparations and went to the Inner Court Elder Pavilion to find Elder Su Qian and explain his plan to travel again.

Su Qian nodded in understanding. It was clearly inappropriate for someone like Han Feng to stay in the inner courtyard.

Unfortunately, I was unable to have a further discussion with him.

However, Han Feng seemed to have come prepared. He gave Su Qian a cultivation guide for the Dou Zong stage, saying that it could be stored in the inner courtyard's library and that any elders who wanted to study it could borrow it later.

The manual contains some of Han Feng's views on cultivation, including but not limited to how to overcome barriers.

Although it cannot cover all angles, it has great reference value for most Dou Zong cultivators.

Canaan Academy is now considered an educational organization under Han Feng's command, continuously cultivating talent.

Han Feng hopes that Canaan Academy can reach new heights in the future and truly solidify its reputation as the number one academy on the Dou Qi Continent.

Su Qian flipped through the manual and was immediately astonished. Han Feng's actions once again overturned his understanding. He had initially doubted Han Feng's character, but now he had given him such valuable cultivation experience and to Canaan Academy!

With this guide, he could avoid taking several years of detours in his cultivation at the Dou Zong realm.

"On behalf of Canaan Academy, I thank Elder Han for his gift!"

"There's no need for that. Now, I'm also closely connected with Canaan Academy. I'd rather see more strong individuals emerge from Canaan Academy in the future."

Han Feng said with a smile.

He then recounted the story of the fire lizards in the lava world, instructing Su Qian to strengthen surveillance and call upon him should any insurmountable enemies arise.

Su Qian said he had made a mental note of it, and personally escorted Han Feng to the door, his words filled with an indescribable respect.

Watching Han Feng's retreating figure, he had a fleeting, almost unsettling feeling that Han Feng was the backbone of the academy, while the dean...

Su Qian shook her head.

They're all very busy people!

On his way back, Han Feng saw the information on the student bulletin board.

The Martial Arts Alliance will be holding a martial arts competition over the next two days, inviting top-ranked players to participate.

The Martial Alliance is currently the number one student force in the inner academy, and its leader is also ranked number one on the strength list.

Ever since Zi Yan broke through to the Douhuang realm, Su Qian expelled her from her student status.

The rankings on the leaderboard are updated automatically, and the leader of the Martial Alliance has taken the top spot. Therefore, a martial arts tournament is being held to celebrate for three days.

"That little girl has finally stepped down."

Han Feng glanced at the portraits of the spirited students on the bulletin board and chuckled softly.

With this little monster Zi Yan around, the top spot in the Strong Ranking Competition has never changed.

Now, finally, the position has been given to a newcomer.
