"This person's strength is unfathomable…", Chu Xiao's expression was extremely grave.
He hadn't expected to encounter such a person on his way to Jixia Academy.
Chu Xiao believed that his current strength was definitely not weaker than some Prodigies of the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
However, facing this Young man with an elegant, unfathomable demeanor, he had no confidence at all.
"A little interesting…"
That Young man smiled slightly, seemingly a little interested.
After all, looking at the entire Boundary Sea, there weren't many Prodigies who could escape from his fishing line.
Of course, that Young man also had no killing intent; he just purely wanted to test him out.
He felt that this man seemed a little different.
Whoosh!
The elegant Young man flicked his fishing rod again, and the fishing line shot towards Chu Xiao once more.
Chu Xiao's expression changed slightly.
He hadn't expected a simple fishing rod to become so troublesome at this moment.
Who exactly was this person?
Chu Xiao didn't have time to think much, so he could only use his Divine Ability.
After losing to Jun Xiaoyao, he learned from his painful experience.
All the way from Tantai Imperial Clan to Jixia Academy, he had been honing his Cultivation and comprehending the unique techniques in that golden foil page.
In Chu Xiao's eyes, silver runes suddenly flowed.
In his eyes, everything seemed to slow down.
Even that fishing line seemed to slow down ten times.
This was also a unique technique Chu Xiao had comprehended from the golden foil, which he named the Eye of Stagnation.
It could slow down the speed of various Divine Ability Moves.
Of course, this didn't mean that Chu Xiao could now control the flow of Time.
Rather, after his eyes Cultivated the essence of the Time Book, they could slow down the outside speed.
But in the elegant Young man's view, Chu Xiao's speed instantly became extremely fast and agile.
"Interesting, truly interesting."
The elegant Young man's interest grew even stronger.
He vaguely sensed that Chu Xiao was showing his talent and seemed to be extraordinary.
Chu Xiao also began to counterattack, directly unleashing the Qingyang Divine Symbol.
"Oh, the aura of World Origin, he's even a World Child." The elegant Young man was surprised again.
The surprises Chu Xiao brought him were indeed a bit too many.
He also shook his sleeve, and an incomparably grand, Righteous Qi, and magnificent aura surged out.
Upon feeling this aura, Chu Xiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood.
"Righteous Qi, you are a Prodigy of Jixia Academy!" Chu Xiao said.
He hadn't expected to encounter a Prodigy of Jixia Academy here.
Moreover, such an unfathomable person must be extraordinary in Jixia Academy.
Although the elegant Young man attacked him, there was no killing intent in his Moves; instead, it was more like a sparring match.
So Chu Xiao felt relieved and sparred with the elegant Young man.
In an instant, the two exchanged thousands of Moves.
The elegant Young man was very surprised.
Chu Xiao was also very surprised.
As they fought, the atmosphere between them became more harmonious.
In the end, they even sat together to discuss the Dao.
"May I know your name, brother?" The elegant Young man asked with a smile.
"I am Chu Xiao, and you are…?" Chu Xiao asked in return.
"Oh, so you are that Chu Xiao…" The elegant Young man said with a sudden realization.
"Do you know me, brother?" Chu Xiao asked.
"I've heard a little about the Tantai Ancient Ancestor's birthday banquet." The elegant Young man said.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao's expression subtly turned a little ugly.
He absolutely did not want to become famous in that way.
The elegant Young man didn't mind and directly said, "My name is Han Ping'an."
"Han Ping'an…" Chu Xiao was stunned.
He came from the Qingyang World, so he wasn't very familiar with the Prodigy landscape of the Boundary Sea.
Therefore, hearing these three words, he didn't have much of a reaction.
"So it's Brother Han." Chu Xiao cupped his hands slightly.
Seeing Chu Xiao's lack of reaction, Han Ping'an smiled and didn't mind.
He just found this person increasingly interesting.
He seemed to have come from a small place, yet his Cultivation was not weaker than that of an Emperor Clan Prodigy.
He was indeed worth befriending.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They felt an instant connection.
Han Ping'an felt that Chu Xiao was showing his talent, like a golden carp in a pond destined to become a Dragon.
As for Chu Xiao, he felt that Han Ping'an's identity must be extraordinary, yet he treated people gently and didn't have that arrogant, condescending feeling.
His temperament was vastly different from that of Jun Xiaoyao, who was naturally noble and viewed all beings as ants, a cold and noble Young Master.
Only a Prodigy as approachable as Han Ping'an was worth befriending.
The two could be said to have hit it off instantly.
And then, the two talked about everything under the sun.
Chu Xiao greatly admired Han Ping'an's understanding of Cultivation, his vast knowledge.
And Han Ping'an was also very surprised that Chu Xiao looked very young, but his Cultivation experience was quite extensive.
This was naturally because Chu Xiao had actually Cultivated for hundreds of years in the Universe World.
This way, the two conversed even more harmoniously.
In the end, the topic naturally drifted to the Tantai Ancient Ancestor's birthday banquet.
As soon as this was mentioned, Chu Xiao's eyes subtly reddened.
That was his eternal humiliation.
"I observe that Brother Chu Xiao is not one to be impulsive and reckless; what was the reason?" Han Ping'an asked.
Chu Xiao took a deep breath.
The deeper reason was naturally the hatred between the Chu Clan Emperor Clan and the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
But this, obviously, could not be said.
Although he and Han Ping'an had hit it off, he couldn't just reveal all his secrets.
So Chu Xiao explained.
How good his relationship with Tantai Qingxuan was back in the Qingyang World.
It was even destined that she would be his Dao Companion.
But in the end, she was taken away by Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao's identity changed from Tantai Qingxuan's savior.
To a tyrannical Young Lord who stole his woman.
After listening to Chu Xiao's explanation, Han Ping'an frowned slightly and said.
"Originally, when I heard the news, I thought that Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao was a Dragon among men, with extraordinary strength."
"But looking at it this way, he's just a tyrannical person who seizes other people's wives and daughters and disregards moral principles."
Han Ping'an, as a Prodigy of Jixia Academy, naturally placed immense importance on ethics and moral principles.
The act of seizing another person's woman was clearly extremely despicable and contemptible in Confucianism.
Chu Xiao hadn't expected Han Ping'an to be so indignant on his behalf.
He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
After all, Tantai Qingxuan had explained to him that Jun Xiaoyao was her savior.
"Brother Han, this is my business, let me resolve it myself. My woman is not to be touched by others." Chu Xiao said.
Upon hearing this, Han Ping'an couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes, patting Chu Xiao's shoulder and saying.
"Brother Chu, rest assured, if anything happens in Jixia Academy, you can find me."
"Even if that Jun Xiaoyao has an extraordinary status, as long as he comes to Jixia Academy, he won't be able to bully you."
"Thank you, Brother Han." Chu Xiao smiled slightly.
Afterward, the two exchanged a few more words.
Then Han Ping'an left.
The assessment of Jixia Academy was a fixed rule, so he wouldn't directly let Chu Xiao pass the assessment.
But Han Ping'an said that with him around, Chu Xiao would surely be safe in Jixia Academy.
Watching Han Ping'an's departing back.
Chu Xiao was pondering.
What kind of status did Han Ping'an have in Jixia Academy that he wasn't even afraid of Jun Xiaoyao, the Young Lord of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan?
"Alright, a just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little support. With Brother Han's help, I'm sure this trip to Jixia Academy will be smooth."
"When my Cultivation improves and I find the remaining golden foils, Jun Xiaoyao, the humiliation I experienced will be returned to you twofold!"
