"Why the long faces, everyone? Ah, and where’s Fan Hong?" Wang ng asked. Seeing their solemn expressions, his smile vanished. "Where is he? Don’t tell sothing happened to him."
Ma Tian’Er gave a small smile. "Brother Wang, don’t worry. Fan Hong had sothing to take care of and has been away these past few days. He should be back soon. Where have you been?"
Wang ng breathed a sigh of relief. He recalled how Xuee Zhongnan had sought him out to stress the importance of this matter. Fan Ru’s help had been crucial; without it, it was uncertain if they could have survived. The Dharma Flower Sect was now an ally of the Holy Hall, and Fan Ru’s intentions were perfectly clear—he wanted Wang ng to look after Fan Hong. Wang ng considered it his undeniable responsibility. They were brothers, after all.
Wang ng recounted his experiences. When they heard he had gone to the Fire God Little Thousand World to cultivate, Li Tianyi’s interest was piqued. He had been there before as well. The Fire God Little Thousand World was indeed exceptionally dangerous, but the abundance of Five Elents Fla there was imnse. For a Cultivator at their level, it was truly a place for arduous training where one had to face death to find new life.
When Wang ng described being teleported to the Slaughter Space and witnessing the Saint Demon war, everyone was even more dumbfounded. As for the part about destroying Demon Blade City’s Energy Tower, Wang ng glossed over it. He felt there was no need to toot his own horn.
"Brother Wang, hurry and let us see Little Fla!" Ma Tian’Er said.
"Haha, alright. The little guy is pretty mischievous."
After that last ti they got drunk, Little Fla’s physical form had beco much clearer. It now looked more like an Exotic Beast of the Five Elents Fla and less like a conspicuous Five Elents Essence. He wondered if that was a result of it eating a bench.
A chubby Little Fla hopped out. It looked at the crowd of people, its big, curious eyes wide. The fla on its head swayed from side to side.
Ma Tian’Er and Jiang Qingqing were instantly conquered by Little Fla’s adorable appearance. The two beauties couldn’t get enough of it.
"Can I pet it?"
"Go ahead." Wang ng never refused a request from a beautiful woman.
Little Fla’s face was then promptly squished and its head patted by the two young won.
"It’s so soft! And so warm! It’s too cute!"
Little Fla’s chubby face was scrunched up. ’What’s going on... How can there be such strange creatures in the human world?’
’The people I t in Snow Moon City were all hearty drinkers and never treated like this. These two are very different. They even... sll nice.’
"Master... what are they?"
Its curiosity getting the better of it, the tornted Little Fla couldn’t help but ask.
Everyone looked at each other, then the room erupted in laughter.
"They’re girls! Beautiful girls!"
Little Fla helplessly scratched its head. ’This... I don’t understand.’
Seeing Little Fla’s confused expression, the two girls could no longer control themselves and pulled it aside to play with.
Wang ng waved his hand in resignation. ’I knew it. This little guy was going to be a big hit.’
"Junior Brother Wang, it seems your power has increased imnsely from this trip!"
As soon as Wang ng had made his move, Hex Zui felt a distinct difference. Wang ng had always been strong, but it always felt like he was giving it his all. Just now, however, he had been incredibly relaxed and acted with ease. Although Hex Zui had never fought Luo Yu, his thirty-eighth-layer Elental Power was no joke. His technique might have been lacking, but not just anyone could kill him instantly with a single sword strike.
"Heh, it was just a stroke of luck. I made a little progress. Why has the Demon Refining Faction been coming after you?"
Everyone gave a bitter smile. Ning Zhiquan briefly explained the recent situation, and only then did Wang ng realize just how serious the problem was.
"Then what I did just now was the right thing to do. We can use this as a chance to wipe out the Demon Refining Faction!"
Wang ng said, clapping his hands.
"Good, that’s the spirit!" Li Tianyi had finally found a supporter.
"Now that Wang ng is back, we can pay them back in full for all the grievances we’ve endured!"
Mingren said.
"Brother Hex, your injuries haven’t healed yet. Just leave the Demon Refining Faction to ."
’In the Slaughter Space, I could feel Xu Huang’s power,’ Wang ng thought. ’He might not have as much Magic as we learn at the Cultivation Academy, but actual combat is also the best teacher. By fighting Demon Cultivators, one can master many practical combat spells, which should not be underestimated either.’
The unexpected journey had yielded more than just mastering the third stage of the Five Elents Technique. Another important gain was that it made Wang ng understand how to handle the situation at the Cultivation Academy.
"Count in. I’m not injured. Tianyi, your main task right now is to recuperate and cultivate. There will be plenty of battles to co. The Demon Refining Faction won’t be our last enemy."
Mingren said.
Li Tianyi tended to listen to Mingren. Although he was a bit disappointed, he also knew that given his current condition, he really wasn’t fit to fight again.
Hex Zui nodded. "Wang ng, let Mingren help you. You might not know what’s been happening recently, but we were only able to hold on this ti thanks to him. His power has also advanced by leaps and bounds. We really overlooked Mingren in the past."
Hex Zui felt a wave of emotion. He had thought Wang ng was their only surprise, but who would have expected Mingren to step up while Wang ng was away? If Mingren hadn’t held the line, he and Ning Zhiquan would have suffered far more than just injuries.
Wang ng looked at Mingren and broke into a brilliant smile. "I’ve never overlooked Brother Mingren."
Mingren’s heart stirred. Looking at Wang ng’s hearty smile, he felt his own mood lighten. "With you around, we can’t even stop to catch our breath. We have no choice but to keep chasing after you."
"Alright, stop flattering each other," Ma Tian’Er chid in. "Brother Wang, can Little Fla play with us for a few days?"
Of course, Wang ng wouldn’t refuse a request from the adorable Junior Sister Ma. "Take it. You can play with it for as long as you want."
Upon hearing this, the hopeful Little Fla imdiately deflated. It wanted to struggle, but its ager strength was completely futile.
Arriving at the Cultivation Academy, Little Fla discovered that in the world of Cultivators, there existed a terrifying species known as "girls"!!!
After a day of rest, Wang ng was summoned by the Old Demon Dean early in the morning. Throughout the entire Cultivation Academy, probably only Wang ng received such treatnt.
In truth, Master Wang was also quite frustrated. ’There are so many people here, why does the Dean always have to single out? Even if I’m special, this place is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons; there’s no shortage of special people. To be honest, before I reach Minor Perfection, I’d rather keep my distance from a top-tier Master like Lv Yuantian if I can.’
But more often than not, things don’t go as one wishes.
"You summoned , Dean."
Wang ng pushed open the door, rearranged his facial muscles, and put on a brilliant smile. The rules of the Star Alliance were in the hands of n. He didn’t know who controlled the Slaughter Space, but on this little patch of turf that was the Cultivation Academy, the one with the most power was the Great Perfection Master before him, Dean Lv.
Lv Yuantian glanced at Wang ng. Although his expression didn’t change, his gaze clearly flickered, showing he was quite impressed.
"You brat, you disappear for two months. What, did you let my words go in one ear and out the other?"
Lv Yuantian said, narrowing his eyes, his gaze turning sharp.
Wang ng shook his head frantically. "Of course not! I’ve always taken the Dean’s instructions to heart. In fact, to avoid letting you down, I took a risk and went to the Fire God Little Thousand World to train. But who would have thought the Teleportation Array had been sabotaged by soone? That led to a series of unexpected events, but thanks to your great blessings, Dean, I’ve finally returned!"
Wang ng was well-practiced at feigning honesty and sincerity. Although he wasn’t at Zhang Xiaopang’s level of consummate skill, he was at least seventy or eighty percent there.
A smile touched the corners of Lv Yuantian’s mouth. "It seems your silver tongue has improved as well. Not bad, kid. You go to the Slaughter Space once and manage to ruin a major siege plan, offending more than a dozen Great Perfection Sect Leaders in the process. Truly remarkable!"
Lv Yuantian gave him a thumbs-up, and it was impossible to tell if it was in praise or sarcasm.
Wang ng knew this matter probably couldn’t be hidden from Lv Yuantian. According to Xu Huang, the Dean of the Cultivation Academy was a true mber of the Star Alliance, a very special one at that. Many of the strange terms, like "Academy," didn’t exist in the various Small Thousand Realms and were all brought over by the Star Alliance.
"Dean, I’ve been wronged! As you know, I’m just a disciple from the academy who hasn’t even graduated yet. I just happened upon the situation by chance. As a Holy Hall Disciple, even though my strength was insufficient, I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Luckily, my years at the academy taught how to make the right judgnt call!"
Wang ng said with a perfectly straight face.
Lv Yuantian laughed. "I know you’re being a dishonest little sycophant, but I still find it quite pleasant to listen to. You did a good job with that matter. As long as you’re in the Cultivation Academy, they can’t do anything to you. However, you just got back and you’ve already killed soone. What’s that all about?"
"Dean, our Holy Hall Faction was just established and is very weak. We don’t even have our full roster yet. We’ve been abiding by your rules this whole ti, patiently enduring all their provocations. Yesterday, they ca to our headquarters to cause trouble again. We brought up the academy’s rules first, but Luo Yu said that rules are made by people and that he was going to wipe every single one of us out. That was the last straw!"
Wang ng said with a helpless expression.
In truth, Lv Yuantian didn’t think this was a big deal at all. He only brought it up to keep the kid in line. But hearing this, he beca a little displeased. "Rules are made by people, but not by him!"
Wang ng, of course, nodded emphatically.
"You don’t have to play pitiful for . If you’ve got the ability, then go wipe out the Demon Refining Faction. I won’t get involved in these things. Just rember, I’ll be arranging an opponent for you soon. Make sure it’s a decisive victory."
Lv Yuantian said.
"I’ll give it my all!"
Wang ng said. Lv Yuantian waved his hand, dismissing him. As he left the Dean’s office, Wang ng still couldn’t figure out what Lv Yuantian was planning.
’Truthfully, there were plenty of people who could do this job. Why did he have to choose ?’
But no matter what, the fact that Lv Yuantian had a use for him now was a good thing for the Little Holy Hall.
Upon seeing his younger brother’s head, Luo Xian went berserk. To hell with the rules! He would mobilize all the forces of the Demon Refining Faction to slaughter everyone from the Holy Hall Faction!
But just as he was preparing to gather his n overnight and directly annihilate Wang ng and the others, he received a warning from a soul ntor, telling him to abide by the rules!
Normally, the academy rarely ddled in such affairs, especially when it ca to a group like the Holy Hall—a gathering place for trashy rookies with no key figures. Wiping them out would have no consequences. Yet, for this one trashy group, the academy had actually interfered. (To be continued.
