Chapter 97: An Unpleasant Beginning

  Three days later.

  Early in the morning, Helian was woken up by Lanyou Zhu's chirping voice, saying that Lanyou Zhu is already 18 years old this year, eight years older than Helian. She has been married and still has a childlike temperament. Compared to her, Helian feels that 14-year-old Lanyou Ruo is more like an elder sister.

  "Do girls in this world develop so early?!", Hekeliano sneaked a peek at the robust assets on Lanyoutu's chest, muttering evilly to himself. With an unwilling expression, he got out of bed, although the warm quilt was reluctant to let him go. However, Hekeliano had to hurry up and get out of bed, because today, they would be setting off for Shenghun Academy to take the test.

  Looking at the excited and talkative Lan Youzhu beside him, He Lianuo felt like his head was going to explode. To think that this guy had managed to get a spot in the test by pestering Zhang Fang for three whole days, He Lianuo couldn't help but admire Lan Youzhu's persistence while secretly marveling at Zhang Fang's influence. After all, it was extremely difficult for soul users outside of the Soul Realm to obtain a testing qualification for the Holy Soul Academy, and yet Zhang Fang had managed to get three spots in one go, a testament to his formidable power.

  Because his right hand was already useless, He Lianuo could only use his left hand to slowly wash and comb. He had also asked Gong Sunjian about the injury to his right hand, but the latter irresponsibly threw out a sentence "when you reach the mountain, there will be a road" before disappearing from sight. Zhang Fang was considerate enough to comfort He Lianuo, promising that when he returned from testing, he would definitely help him think of a way to cure his right arm. However, He Lianuo always felt that Zhang Fang was just placating him.

  "These two old men must know something, otherwise they wouldn't have let my arm go to waste like this!", He Lianuo comforted himself in his heart, and casually found a cloth strip to tie up his limp right arm on his shoulder. Just as he finished tidying up, Lan Youzhu, who had been waiting impatiently, dragged him towards Zhang Fang's room!

  To show his grandeur, Zhang Fan specially wore a large red changshan, paired with a warm and gentle smile on his face, making him look very auspicious. Lan You Rou, however, was still standing quietly by his side as usual, wearing a pale pink long dress that looked pure and elegant, appearing exceptionally refreshing.

  Lan Youzhu still followed her usual bold style, wearing revealing clothes that made Helian Nuo try to suppress his gaze but couldn't help sneaking glances. When Lan Youzhu noticed, she didn't mind at all and instead proudly puffed out her chest even more.

  "This little girl must have been a seductive fox in her past life!" He Lianuo muttered to himself, knowing that his past self had only lived to be thirteen or fourteen years old and was still clueless about women's matters. Lan Youzhu was already the ultimate among women, so how could He Lianuo possibly handle it?

  "Sister, you can't be interested in this little kid, can you?" Lan You Rou furrowed her brow, although she knew her sister had a personality that was hot on the outside but cold on the inside, she still couldn't understand why Lan You Zhu would treat ten-year-old He Lian Nuo so specially.

  "What a little brat, aren't you only four years older than me? If I'm a little brat then you're a little egghead! You're flatter than the Blood Refining Tower Square!" Before Lan Youzhu could even react, He Lian'nuo, who was called a little brat, rushed forward and directly attacked Lan Youzhu's figure.

  "Ah...", Lan You's face turned red as she struggled to find the words to retort, but couldn't say a thing. Indeed, compared to her sexy and fiery sister, her own figure was somewhat lacking.

  "Alright, stop arguing. You two might become classmates at the same school in the future, so you should help each other out. But let me give you a heads up, the entrance exam for Sacred Soul Academy is extremely strict. If either of you can't pass it, don't come crying to me!" Zhang Fang chuckled and stopped He Lianuo and Lan You Rou's argument.

  "It doesn't matter anymore, even if I didn't pass the test, with your relationship with Zhang Grandfather and Shenghun Academy, you can definitely let me stay there to accompany them, right? Even if I couldn't become a student of Shenghun Academy, I've already made up my mind to stay in the Soul Realm and not return here!", Lan Youzhu rarely became serious, apparently she wanted to get rid of something here.

  Seeing Zhang Fang not refuse Lan Youzhu's request, He Lian Nuo's heart moved, it can be heard that Zhang Fang even in the Soul Realm has a considerable influence, if Lan Youzhu didn't pass the test and could stay at Sheng Hun Academy, then why couldn't Sang Xiao and Lei Shuo? Even if they can't become students to study there, but the atmosphere and conditions for refining souls in the Soul Realm must be much stronger than outside, it seems that after returning from the test, I need to have a good talk with Zhang Fang.

  Zhang Fang naturally did not know that He Lian was secretly calculating the fate of his two companions. He glanced at the time, picked up a bright red staff leaning against the chair and said softly: "Alright, it's getting late, I think you've all prepared enough, so let's set off!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his staff and slowly drew several complex patterns in the air, then pricked his finger and drew a circle on the ground. Almost instantly, the circle of blood radiated brilliant light, and a seven-colored beam shot straight up to the roof!

  Looking at the surprised expressions of the other three, Zhang slowly put away his staff and explained: "This is a spatial tunnel. Through it, we can reach the Soul Realm in the blink of an eye. The secret method of creating a spatial tunnel has long been lost, and I was able to cast it out thanks to this ancient spatial family's heirloom, the Space Staff of the Gong Sun clan!"

  Khalenno clearly felt some fluctuations in his mind, apparently, Gong Sunjian saw the staff passed down from his family and couldn't help but get excited.

  "Alright, can't delay any further. This space tunnel can only transmit one person at a time. Helian, you go first!", Zhang Fang pointed to the colorful tunnel, indicating that Helian should take the lead.

  If it were someone else, they might feel a little intimidated by this space tunnel, but He Lian wouldn't. After all, the only heir of the Gong Sun family, Gong Sun Rong, was still in his mind, what was there to be afraid of?

  He Lianuo glanced at Lan You Ruo with a pale face, quickly stood in the seven-color light column, and almost instantly, a soft suction drew him into a seven-color tunnel. In the blink of an eye, He Lianuo's feet touched the ground!

  Before Helian Nuo could observe the surrounding scenery, three figures suddenly appeared in front of her. The two Lan sisters and Zhang Fang had also teleported over. Seeing that Lan Youzhu's face looked a bit unsightly, Helian Nuo instinctively patted her shoulder, apparently even the most valiant woman would still need to rely on a man in the end.

  Zhang Fang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exclaimed loudly: "Although it's not my first time coming to the Soul Realm, I'm still deeply enchanted by the air here every time. The air filled with the aura of souls is indeed incomparable to the turbid air of the mortal world!"

  He Lian'nuo sniffed and indeed, the air here had an indescribable freshness that could almost instantly dispel one's fatigue. Lan Youzhu and Lan Youru also took a few deep breaths, their complexions quickly improving.

  "The air here is so refreshing because it contains a large amount of gentle soul power, which allows the soul to resonate more easily with the soul power. The wounded can also recover better, and it's not an exaggeration to say that this place is a paradise for souls! Zhang Fang couldn't help but take deep breaths, his expression extremely comfortable."

  "Where did this wild soul come from? Aren't you afraid of polluting our spiritual realm with your turbid aura?" A cold voice suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere, and Helianuo turned his head to look, only to see a white-clothed man leading seven or eight guards, striding towards them.

  "Helian, remember not to cause trouble and don't mention that we're not their match. Causing conflict with others as soon as you arrive in the Soul Realm will have a very bad impact on your future!" Zhang Fan warned Helian, who was prone to acting impulsively, by pulling on his collar and whispering to him.

  Khaleno nodded, his eyes fixed on the newcomer, his fists clenched tightly. Clearly, he didn't take Zhang Fan's words to heart. In Khaleno's dictionary, there were no such words as "surrender". His motto was: "If you don't offend me, I won't offend you; if you offend me, I will retaliate tenfold!"

  "Oh, there are two more water spirits here! The bigger one's figure is really not bad, and the smaller one, although still young, also has a unique charm. How about it? Do you want to play with me, Young Master? As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that no one in this spiritual realm will dare to bully you!" The white-clothed man leered, stretching out his right hand to grope at Lan You's towering chest!

  With a crisp crack, just as the white-clothed man's hand was about to touch Lan Youzhu, a tender small hand suddenly stretched out from the side like lightning and tightly grasped the man's right hand like a pincer!

  "I count to three, you all disappear from before my eyes, and I can pretend that nothing ever happened!" Helianuo said in a low voice.

  "What did you say?", although his right hand was caught, the man in white didn't seem to mind at all, and instead leaned his ear closer!

  "Get out of here, or die!", Helianuo suddenly lifted his right foot and kicked the man's crotch viciously!
