Chapter 143

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Xian Lin'er's favorability towards you has increased by ten!】

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Xian Lin'er's favorability towards you has broken through fifty!】

【Reward: Level 4 Soul Guidance Device Fully Automatic Factory, Level 5 Soul Guidance Device Fully Automatic Factory, Level 5 Disposable Missile Blueprint! Level 9 Missile Launcher 1,... Myriad Worlds Item Extraction Chance 1!】

Time passed rapidly.

Next, under Xian Lin'er's help, Xu Nian'an quickly learned soul tool knowledge, and his soul tool craftsmanship advanced by leaps and bounds.

Near the start of school, relying once again on Hu Ma's over 100,000-year soul power help, he carved a Level 5 soul guidance core.

It instantly shocked the entire Shrek Academy Soul Guidance Department.

Besides this, Xu Nian'an could clearly feel that his cultivation progress was becoming slow.

Perhaps it was because every time he absorbed a soul ring, his soul power increased too much, consuming the body's energy, plus the issue of the Extreme Ice.

Anyway, his soul power hadn't had any movement for these few months; after returning to Shrek Academy, he had been studying soul tool knowledge.

But in the few days near the start of Shrek Academy, Xu Nian'an's soul power soared by one level because he stepped into the Soul Guidance Department with his right foot first.

【Level 47!】

Xu Nian'an was a bit confused; you must know, his cultivation recently didn't have any trend of reaching a bottleneck, so why did he suddenly break through today?

Xu Nian'an was a bit puzzled, but a cold prompt suddenly came to his mind.

Opening the system's prompt panel to the title column.

【Peerless Genius Halo: Soul power increases by one level every year. (Countdown: 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds!)】

So it was this thing.

Seeing the countdown of the Peerless Genius Halo light up, a smile curled at the corner of Xu Nian'an's mouth.

He had thought that as long as he increased by one level every year in the future, this title wouldn't be triggered.

Unexpectedly, it was the one level of soul power rewarded by the title, not that he wouldn't level up in the future.

He inexplicably thought of Zhang Lexuan, but unfortunately, Zhang Lexuan and other veteran Inner Court disciples, and Ma Xiaotao and other newly promoted Inner Court disciples, didn't know where they had gone to do missions.

Anyway, even near the start of school, Xu Nian'an hadn't received any news about them.

Tap tap tap~

Just after walking into Xian Lin'er's office, Xu Nian'an was attracted by a burst of laughter.

Looking up, at this time, a slim girl with gold silk stockings on her legs and a beautiful back was standing in front of Xian Lin'er.

"Let's see who's here."

Hearing Xian Lin'er's words, Jiang Nannan turned her head and looked back.

After not seeing her for a few months, the little girl had grown even more tender and beautiful.

However, after seeing Xu Nian'an, Jiang Nannan's smile slowly faded.

"Teacher."

Xu Nian'an first turned his head to look at Xian Lin'er, then turned to look at Jiang Nannan.

"Nan Nan, long time no see."

Jiang Nannan's pair of slender little hands slowly placed behind her back and held tightly together.

Her expression was very unnatural, but in the end, she still revealed a smile to Xu Nian'an.

"Long time no see."

Xu Nian'an nodded to Xian Lin'er, then grabbed the unnatural-looking Jiang Nannan and rushed out the door.

Rushing through the prosperous Soul Guidance Department teaching area, crossing more than half of the Shrek Outer Court, he arrived at the Martial Soul Department Outer Court small woods.

This small woods that carried countless small, unspeakable memories of theirs.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!

The waves slapped against the shore one after another, and Xu Nian'an pulled Jiang Nannan to watch the sunset.

"At this time last year, you chose to leave me and came to Shrek Academy alone."

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan turned to look at Xu Nian'an, her pupils flickering.

"This year, I gave up everything, just to catch you, whom I didn't catch last year."

Boom!!!

Jiang Nannan's mind instantly roared.

Although she knew that Xu Nian'an might not have only her as a woman, in that instant, her heart still beat uncontrollably.

Damn it.

She might never be able to leave this man again.

"You can't escape anymore."

Grabbing Jiang Nannan's hand tightly, the two stayed silently until the sunset faded.

"Happy birthday."

This was the second sentence Jiang Nannan said to Xu Nian'an.

Sure enough, she was a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

On the surface, she seemed not to care, but she still chose a day that was Xu Nian'an's birthday to come out of seclusion.

Movies, shopping, auctions, shopping, eating, drinking, and having fun... A few days later, Xu Nian'an took Jiang Nannan to visit every corner of Shrek City.

For Jiang Nannan, Xu Nian'an's patience was always a little bit more; perhaps it was because they were the same age, truly the same age, plus the other party was the first woman he had truly set his sights on.

Although Xu Nian'an and Jiang Nannan hadn't progressed to the final step yet, Xu Nian'an had done everything he should have done with her, and almost everything he shouldn't have done.

Now it was just that last step; that last step was still because Xu Nian'an saw that Jiang Nannan was young and wanted to wait for her to be a little older.

Jiang Nannan also thought it through and let go of the obsession in her heart.

Perhaps she wasn't his only one, but he was her only one.

To avoid getting stuck in a dead end, these past few days she had deliberately not talked to Xu Nian'an about that problem.

These past few days she had been eating, drinking, and having fun with Xu Nian'an.

The night before school started, in a restaurant in Shrek City.

Xu Nian'an, Jiang Nannan, Beibei, Tang Ya, and even Jiang Nannan's mother, Jiang Xue, were all there.

Ordering a table of sumptuous food, they started the formal dinner.

After eating, everyone sat together, chatting about the problems the Tang Sect was facing now.

Xu Nian'an had never been interested in this kind of thing; as his gaze shifted, he suddenly swept across a familiar back.

His eyes rolled, and Xu Nian'an got up.

"Sorry, I still have something to do, excuse me for a moment."

Arriving at the luxurious commercial street, Xu Nian'an saw that familiar back enter a luxurious clothing store.

"Wow, Sis, this is too luxurious; even a random piece of clothing costs over a hundred gold soul coins, this is simply robbery!"

Mu Jin had black hair, phoenix eyes, and a beauty mark; her expression was lazy and she looked down on the waiter.

"Find a few suitable clothes for my younger brother."

The waiter bowed respectfully.

"Okay, Miss."

The waiter didn't even look back, took a twelve or thirteen-year-old youth, and started picking clothes; after picking them, they went into the changing room.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes.

Slap~

Walking forward slowly, Xu Nian'an didn't hesitate at all, raised his hand, and gave a heavy slap.

Mu Jin was shocked.

Turning her head, she immediately met Xu Nian'an's eyes.

"Yo, willing to return to the academy now?"

Smelling the unique scent coming from Xu Nian'an, Mu Jin's heart fluttered, and she was very nervous inside.

"Can... can you leave for a moment, otherwise... otherwise my younger brother will misunderstand."

Hearing this, a smile curled at the corner of Xu Nian's mouth, and a room card appeared in his hand.

"Mu Jin, you wouldn't want your younger brother to know you're this kind of person, would you?"

"Ten o'clock, Shrek Hotel."

Xu Nian'an gave Mu Jin a look.

"Sis, who is that person?"

Not long after Xu Nian'an left, Mu Jin's younger brother came out of the changing room and looked suspiciously at Xu Nian'an's departing back.

"No... nothing, he is one of my students."

Taking a look at the waiter, a black card appeared in Mu Jin's hand.

"Swipe the card."

Night, 9:30.

"Mu Ying, you sleep early in the hotel by yourself, Sis still has something to do."

The next day, the exhausted-looking Mu Jin brought Mu Ying and entered Shrek Academy as a recommended student from the Douling Empire.

School season.
