Chapter 176: Wonderful Fate, Promising Star Luo Empire

At noon the next day, Shu Yan left Tian Ling some heaven-and-earth treasures to nourish her body and a gold card containing ten million gold soul coins. Afterward, he kissed the girl's forehead gently and then left first.

Tian Ling had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, and Shu Yan was full of interest, actually dragging her to work hard for a whole night. If it weren't for Tian Ling really being unable to bear it and begging for mercy, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to rest until tonight.

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Shu Yan was somewhat surprised to see Xu Jiujiu and Ling Luochen chatting with Ruan Qinyu. He didn't expect the three to get together today.

Ruan Qinyu saw Shu Yan, then smiled and said:

"A-Yan is back. Come over, sit down, and keep Mom company..."

Shu Yan naturally couldn't refuse. He looked at the seat Xu Jiujiu had left for him, and then sat down directly.

Ling Luochen rolled her eyes at Shu Yan, and then turned her head away.

She finally understood how useful Xu Jiujiu's careful care for her had been. If Xu Jiujiu hadn't protected her for a period of time, I'm afraid she would have really been turned into a little fool by Shu Yan's endless ways of playing.

This wasn't it—as soon as she returned to Star Luo City, she was dragged to take another lesson. That kind of shameful way she hadn't even dared to think about before, she was now bewitched by a man into doing, and it was even caught by Xu Jiujiu, who had been taking care of her. Sometimes she really wanted to die of shame by hitting her head against the wall.

It's all Shu Yan's fault! Must give him the cold shoulder for a period of time! Ling Luochen made up her mind in her heart. If she didn't show off her pride, I'm afraid Shu Yan would really treat her like a well-behaved little kitten.

Shu Yan looked at Ling Luochen moving her body away from him, and for a moment, he found it inexplicably funny. But because Ruan Qinyu was still here, it wasn't easy to tease this ice beauty.

Looking at the smile in Ruan Qinyu's eyes, Shu Yan's already good mood became even better.

"Mom, how have you been feeling lately?"

Ruan Qinyu smiled and nodded, then said: "Pretty good. The students in the academy are all quite interesting, and there's no pressure in class."

Shu Yan nodded. Ruan Qinyu's identity was special, and the dean of the Star Luo National Academy knew a bit about it. With him there, his mother wouldn't suffer any grievances at the Star Luo National Academy. Occasionally teaching to pass the time was also a good thing.

Ruan Qinyu looked at Shu Yan, suddenly as if thinking of something, and then said: "Recently, I met a quite cute little girl in the academy. That little girl seems to be an orphan, and I don't know where she came from..."

Xu Jiujiu listened to Ruan Qinyu's words, her eyes flashing, and then she said with a smile:

"Auntie, do you know the name of that little girl?"

Shu Yan also said at the right time:

"Mom, you might not know, but Jiujiu is the captain of this year's Star Luo National Academy team and will participate in this year's Soul Master Grand Competition. She has an impression and understanding of many geniuses in the academy; maybe she knows her too..."

Ruan Qinyu suddenly realized, then said with a light smile:

"That little girl is named Meng Ning. Like me, she is a Control System Soul Master. Her cultivation is Soul Elder, a quite shy little girl who is always alone. She looks quite cute."

"Meng Ning!?"

Xu Jiujiu was stunned, then also showed a smile.

"It's really a coincidence that Meng Ning actually joined the Star Luo National Academy. I was wondering why I hadn't seen her among Luo Qinghan's group recently." "However, her age is indeed still young; she should only be fourteen this year. Studying at school is indeed a good choice. I'll greet the dean tomorrow and have her transferred to your class. If you like her, you can also choose to take her as a disciple. The academy has always allowed teachers above the Soul Emperor level to take disciples outside of teaching."

Xu Jiujiu's words were correct. The admission requirements and standards of the Star Luo National Academy were far lower than those of Shrek Academy, and the entire academy only had one dean who was a Title Douluo.

Originally, only teachers above the Soul Sage level were qualified to take disciples, but Ruan Qinyu's identity was too special, so this restriction naturally didn't count for anything. Moreover, even if she took a disciple, she couldn't teach Meng Ning anything, but this was indeed a heaven-sent opportunity for Meng Ning. Once she had the status of Ruan Qinyu's disciple, Shu Yan would indirectly have a relationship with her. Loving the house and its crow, the benefits she could get would absolutely far exceed apprenticing to a Title Douluo.

Seeing Ruan Qinyu was curious, Shu Yan gave her a rough account of how their group met.

Speaking of this, he remembered another thing. A few days ago, Qian Gu Yueyin suddenly came to the door wanting to challenge him again, and he was busy with something at that time, so he said to let her win against Ling Luochen before coming to find him. With Qian Gu Yueyin's personality, I'm afraid she would find Ling Luochen to prove her strength in these two days...

Ling Luochen: I really thank you! After looking at Ling Luochen with a hint of pity, Shu Yan received another big eye-roll. Thinking of this, he still didn't feel like telling Ling Luochen about this.

Qian Gu Yueyin's strength was absolutely the most formidable among those of the same level. The unyielding characteristic brought by the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul even allowed her to fight fiercely with a Soul Emperor at the Soul King level. And Ling Luochen was an Extreme Ice Soul Master, and her combat power was also far beyond those of the same level. At the same time, the two people's personalities also had some similarities. After they met, it saved Shu Yan trouble.

……

After listening to Shu Yan's narrative, a hint of pity rose in Ruan Qinyu's eyes.

"This little girl's life experience is truly pitiful. No parents, grew up under the care of companions, sigh..."

Shu Yan just smiled and didn't say anything.

There are countless miserable people in this world worthy of pity. Some don't even deserve to keep their lives and turn into bones by the roadside. In comparison, Meng Ning's luck was already considered quite good. But from Tian Ling, Shu Yan learned that the little girl's innate soul power was extremely good, but she only cultivated to the Soul Elder level at thirteen or fourteen, which was truly somewhat surprising.

The Black Demon is a top-tier Control System martial soul with both darkness and spiritual attributes. Its development potential is not weak, and Meng Ning herself is a little girl who is easy to control, and her temperament is also extremely good. If Ruan Qinyu really had the idea of taking a disciple, Shu Yan wouldn't stop her. His mother had been bedridden for more than ten years; now, as long as what she did wasn't too excessive, Shu Yan would support her. As long as she was happy, that was fine.

……

Days passed like flowing water. This night, accompanied by a vigorous soul power rushing into the sky, the entire starry sky seemed to be pulled, and countless starlight fell. The powerhouses in the palace were all alarmed, but after they found out the source of the aura, they were shocked.

In the Princess's Mansion, Xu Jiujiu, who was concentrating on cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes. The Star Cloud Douluo appeared out of thin air behind her. The two looked at each other, and then Xu Jiujiu said excitedly:

"This is the Imperial Brother's aura."

The Star Cloud Douluo's eyes were filled with shock. This powerful aura surpassed the Title Douluo level, which meant that Xu Jiawei was actually breaking through to the Super Douluo realm.

Every Star Luo Emperor is basically a Title Douluo, but the number of Super Douluo Emperors is extremely rare. Contacting the way of the emperor too early has a certain impact on cultivation, but Xu Jiawei is different. His temperament was influenced by Qian Gu Chaosheng since he was a child, which was different from ordinary emperors. Moreover, he himself is a rare cultivation genius of the Star Crown Imperial Family, with the resources of a country and the guidance of a level 98 teacher. Now, plus Shu Yan's immortal herb, he actually broke through the level 94 barrier in one fell swoop and stepped into level 95.

In the stone chamber deep in the palace, Qian Gu Chaosheng also slowly awakened from his deep meditation because of this soul power fluctuation. The vigorous and abundant life energy in his body made him somewhat uncomfortable, but when he sensed the source of the soul power fluctuation just now, a hint of relief couldn't help but appear on his face.

Among the problems faced by the Star Luo Empire, there has always been a lack of high-level Soul Master power. According to the original trajectory, he should be about to die now, and after that, the strongest person in the Star Luo Empire would be the level 96 Star-Shattering Douluo. Level 96 soul power is even one level lower than the representative powerhouse of the Douling Empire, the Sky Sun Douluo, which is the weakest in national power...

Now that Xu Jiawei has broken through to the Super Douluo realm, this is a heartening good thing for the entire Star Luo Empire. Plus Shu Yan and others who are growing up, regarding this, Qian Gu Chaosheng can only say:

Star Luo Empire, the future is promising!!! (End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
