Chapter 102: An Unexpected Encounter, He Lian's Fox!

  The old man with a shaved head stared at Helianno, who had fainted and fallen to the ground. Even now, he still didn't know why his whole body suddenly stiffened and couldn't move. Although Helianno was already completely unconscious, after all, before falling down, he really bumped into the old man's head. This first trial, he passed.

  It's no wonder that the bald old man couldn't understand why he was being restrained. The ancient martial art used by Helianuo had been lost for many years, and from the beginning, Helianuo didn't expect his immature "Slashing Moon Whirlwind" to cause any harm to the opponent. His real goal was just to shift the old man's attention, then cut off the Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. After that, Helianuo wrapped his arms around dozens of scattered Buddhist beads in mid-air, and separately infused the energy of his "Embracing Hole Hand" into each one. Then he struck them out towards the old man. The flying Buddhist beads seemed to be randomly shot out in a hurry, but actually, each one was aimed at the acupoints on the old man's body. Although the old man dodged most of the beads, there were still several that heavily hit his acupoints, instantly rendering him immobile.

  After a long time, the old man felt his blood vessels unblocked, and the numbness all over his body also disappeared. He moved his sore body and felt that there was nothing unusual about it before he put his mind at ease. Walking slowly to Helian's side, who had fainted, the old man curled his lips and muttered to himself: "Good kid, it's all because I underestimated you too much, and I was actually outsmarted by you! Fortunately, this is just a test, otherwise, if I were controlled by my opponent, I would have no power to fight back at all!"

  After a moment of contemplation, the old man bent down and put Helian on his own shoulders, slowly walking out of the hall. Although the old man was weak and frail, he carried over 100 kilograms of Helian on his shoulders without any effort.

  The situation in the hall changed rapidly, and the crowd waiting for the result outside was also extremely anxious. It had been half an hour since Helian entered the hall, but there was still no movement coming out. Zhang Fang's tightly clenched hands were already filled with cold sweat, and the two sisters of the Lan family were quietly silent, their eyes fixed on the tightly closed door of the hall.

  Just as everyone was getting impatient, the big gate creaked open and the onlookers looked up to see a thin, gaunt old man with a shaved head carrying He Lian Nu on his shoulder, walking out slowly!

  "Ah, Heli!" Zhang exclaimed as he rushed to the old man's side and gently took Heli from his shoulders. He didn't relax until he had checked Heli for injuries and found that his breathing was stable. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, remove his own large red cloak, and lay it on the ground before carefully placing Heli on top of it.

  "Senior, this is...", the white-robed examiner in charge of testing, who should have been guarding the hall, unexpectedly personally escorted the test-taker out, and couldn't help but feel some curiosity.

  "There's nothing, just that this kid fainted and needs to be taken out for treatment! ", the bald old man smiled awkwardly and turned his head to leave, but stopped again to add: "By the way, this kid barely passed my test, you announce the result!", after finishing speaking, the old man slowly walked back to the hall, and the large door closed tightly once again.

  The old man in white robes wanted to ask more details, but the bald old man didn't give him a chance. Under helplessness, he could only open the list and loudly announced: "Tian Shuang He Lian Nuo, 10 years old, Soul Servant Sixth Stage, Soul Power Tenth Level, Mainly studying Thunder System, passed the first round of testing, obtained the qualification to participate in the second round of testing!"

  Ignoring the commotion of others, Zhang placed Helian No under the care of Lan Youzhu and took him to a nearby inn to rest. Just as Lan You was about to go out to find a doctor, the clever Ball suddenly appeared with the Nine-Treasured Black Turtle from who-knows-where and gently placed it on Helian No's forehead. In an instant, the originally dark body of the turtle emitted dazzling seven-colored light all over. Zhang Fang hastily examined Helian No's body and found that the injuries on his legs were recovering at an unbelievable speed. Although he didn't know what secrets the Nine-Treasured Black Turtle held, Zhang Fang was certain that no famous doctor in the world could produce a better therapeutic effect than this turtle.

  At night, Helianthus finally woke up slowly, feeling a cool thing on his forehead. He subconsciously wiped it away and found that it was the Nine-treasured Black Turtle. He smiled slightly and nodded at the turtle's small head, saying in a low voice: "Little guy, you saved me again! How many times have you saved me now? Alas, I don't know how much favor I'll owe you in the future!"

  Jiubao remained indifferent as usual, until Helian Nuowake woke up and turned over, rolled off the bed with a thud, struggled to get up on all fours, and quickly disappeared without a trace, no one knew where he went.

  "He Lian, are you awake?" Lan Youzhu's excited voice came in, He Lian turned his head and saw Lan Youzhu walking in with a bowl of steaming chicken soup in her hand. As he smelled the aroma that filled the air, He Lian's stomach couldn't help but growl loudly. Without waiting for Lan Youzhu to urge him, he grabbed the bowl and started drinking it down in big gulps.

  A moment later, He Lianuo drank the hot soup under Lan Youzhu's smiling gaze, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and stood up to say softly to Lan Youzhu: "Zhu sister, although these two legs have recovered, they still feel a bit sore. Accompany me for a walk, and take in the scenery around Sheng Hun Academy."

  Lan Youzhu smiled and nodded, being called "sister" by Helian Nuo, although she felt a bit awkward, but didn't show any opposition. After all, the two people's ages differed by eight years, so it was only natural for Helian Nuo to call her "sister".

  The two of them did not disturb Lan You and Zhang Fang, and slowly walked out of the inn along the street. The atmosphere was quite pleasant, and by this time, the sky had already darkened to a deep orange. Originally extremely quiet, the outer area of Sheng Hun Academy was now bustling with noise. A large number of soul masters who came from afar to participate in the test were drinking ale at small stalls on the street, boasting loudly and shouting, but not one person dared to cause trouble. Even the most arrogant people had a sense of self-awareness; causing trouble on Sheng Hun Academy's turf was purely suicidal behavior.

  After wandering around in circles, Helian Nuo's legs, which had just recovered from his illness, gradually regained their feeling, but also felt a bit tired. Under Lan Youzhu's suggestion, the two were about to return to the inn when a loud voice entered their ears:

  "Tian Shuanghe Lianxiao, 18 years old, majoring in Ice System, Soul Guard Fifth Level, Soul Power Eighth Level, passed the first test of Soul Tester!"

  "Is it He Lian Shuo? Could it be... could it be the He Lian Zhi Hu that Old Man Gong Sun mentioned, my second brother?" He Lian Nuo's heart skipped a beat as he quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the sound. Lan You Zhu followed closely behind him, although she had no idea what was happening. Before long, they arrived at a rather secluded square, where a dense crowd of people had gathered. It seemed that this too was one of the many initial trial locations of the Sacred Soul Academy!

  He Lian Nu struggled to push through the crowd, eagerly making her way towards the center of the arena. There, she saw a young man dressed in white with a long sword hanging from his waist, standing there with a smile on his face. His expression was not one of pride or joy, but rather quite calm and collected.

  "Is this really my second brother, He Lian Shuo?", He Lian Nuo did not rashly go forward to recognize him. As He Lian Shuo squeezed out of the crowd and walked away into the distance, he hastily called out Lan You Zhu to follow behind. Just now, that examiner had already said that this white-clothed youth named He Lian Shuo's cultivation had actually reached an astonishing Soul Guard Fifth Level. He Lian Nuo did not dare to follow too closely, so he could only trail far behind.

  For some reason, He Lian Shuo chose to walk on the desolate small roads, wherever there were fewer people, he would turn in that direction. Under his lead, before long, the three of them gradually moved away from the bustling streets and came to a small alley where almost no one passed by. Seeing He Lian Shuo turning into a corner, He Lian Nuo hurriedly quickened her pace, cautiously approaching the other side of the corner, only to find that He Lian Shuo had vanished without a trace!

  "Who are you?" Just as Helianuo was filled with doubts, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him. He quickly turned his head around, only to see a flash of cold light in front of him, and a sharp long sword had already been placed on his neck. The person holding the sword was none other than Helianshuo, who had been separated from him earlier. As for Lanyuzhu, who had been following closely behind Helianuo, she had somehow fainted to the ground, presumably knocked unconscious by Helianshuo without making a sound.

  "Speak quickly, who are you? Why are you following me?" Seeing the child in front of him not responding, He Lian Shuo's face turned cold, and the long sword in his hand slightly tilted, instantly, a shallow blood mark appeared on He Lian Nu's neck!

  "Second brother, is that you?" He Lianuo asked softly with a smile, ignoring the fresh blood flowing from his neck. Although he had not yet obtained direct confirmation from the other party, He Lianuo firmly believed that his intuition was correct. As they drew closer, the youth before him gave off an increasingly familiar feeling. Moreover, the young man's features bore some resemblance to those of their mother, Nan Huan Yue. He Lianuo was almost certain that this youth named He Lian Shuo must be his own brother.

  "What did you say?", Hecarim's body shook as he stared at Hecar in an unbelievable expression, and for some reason, this young child also gave him a familiar feeling. However, Hecarim was certain that he had never seen the child before. He subconsciously removed his long sword from Hecar's neck and waited for an explanation with suspicion.

  "No wonder you can't recognize me, although we are brothers of the same clan, we have never met even once. Second brother, I am your younger brother Helian No! ", Helian No burst out laughing and suddenly tore open his chest clothes, in an instant, the majestic Tianlang Sacred Seal was revealed!
