Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, a week had passed since school started.
Shrek Academy, personal dormitory.
Fang Yang sat cross-legged, eyes closed, mental fluctuations swirling around him.
A small, jet-black cat paced lightly beside him.
Its vertical pupils, burning with a faint glow, curiously surveyed its surroundings, its small ears occasionally twitching.
At this moment, Fang Yang was Cultivating the Soul Cultivation Technique, Imperial Soul Art.
Generally speaking, Cultivating Cultivation Techniques is extremely difficult; sometimes, even with a Cultivation Technique, one might not be able to master it.
The Imperial Soul Art is not only a Heaven Rank high-level Soul Cultivation Technique but also comes from the supreme Legacy Cultivation Technique of the Soul Clan, its preciousness is self-evident.
Normally, Cultivating the Imperial Soul Art requires possessing the Soul Clan's Bloodline and condensing the clan markings to get started.
For some unknown reason, Fang Yang was not restricted by this when he Cultivated.
This Soul Cultivation Technique is incredibly complex, with intricate and interwoven operational pathways.
With the help of the strange fire pearl, his Comprehension Ability surpassed ordinary people, and his understanding of the Cultivation Technique advanced by leaps and bounds.
As the Imperial Soul Art operated, Fang Yang could feel his Soul, or rather his mental force, being refined and purified, bit by bit.
The process was like a thousand refinements; each operation made his mental force more solid and pure.
Of course, this is just one of the Cultivation methods of the Imperial Soul Art.
The Imperial Soul Art can also be Cultivated by devouring a large amount of Soul force without any side effects.
The black cat sensed something and stopped.
It quietly squatted in front of Fang Yang, its deep eyes watching the mental fluctuations swirling around him, its tail gently swaying.
After an unknown period, Fang Yang slowly opened his eyes, mental force surging in his pupils.
He gently exhaled a turbid breath and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "As expected of the supreme Legacy of the Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, it is indeed extraordinary."
This week of Cultivation had caused his mental force to undergo a qualitative leap.
Now, he could not only unleash mental attacks to severely wound an opponent's Soul but also master techniques like Soul searching and Soul control.
Seeing Fang Yang finish his Cultivation, the black cat immediately rubbed affectionately against his arm, letting out a soft purr.
Fang Yang smiled slightly, picked up Little Black, and gently stroked its soft, smooth fur.
Little Black comfortably narrowed its eyes, letting out a satisfied whimper.
Just then, with a soft creak, the room door was gently pushed open.
Gu Yue slowly walked in.
She had gathered her long black hair behind her head, tying it into a neat ponytail, and wore a pristine white long dress, spotless.
As she grew older, the young girl became even more graceful and elegant.
Gu Yue didn't possess a stunning, dazzling beauty, but she had an indescribable unique temperament, which subtly gave people a noble and aloof feeling.
"Gu Yue..."
Seeing Gu Yue before him, Fang Yang couldn't help but be stunned; she was truly beautiful like this... As the saying goes, it's better to act than to just feel moved.
Fang Yang gently put down Little Black, slowly walked towards Gu Yue. He gently wrapped his arm around Gu Yue's slender waist, lowered his head, and kissed her.
Gu Yue was slightly startled at first, then relaxed, her long eyelashes gently trembling as she slowly closed her eyes.
Her hands unconsciously rested on his shoulders, responding to the sudden kiss.
After a long while, Fang Yang reluctantly let go, but still held Gu Yue in his arms, their foreheads touching, and called out softly: "Yue'er..."
Gu Yue's cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, and her usually clear and cold eyes now shimmered with moisture, carrying a hint of shyness: "As soon as you arrive, you do this..."
Fang Yang chuckled softly, "Who told my Gu Yue to be so beautiful, making me unable to control myself."
Little Black tilted its head, watching the two, seemingly displeased that its owner suddenly ignored it, and let out a soft meow, causing the two to look at each other and smile.
"Alright, let go of me." Gu Yue gently pushed him.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yang slowly released Gu Yue.
Just then, the sound of the Soul Communication Device rang out.
Fang Yang answered the communication, and Liu Yang's steady voice came from the other end: "Fang Yang, I have something for you, please come to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
"Okay, Senior Liu Yang." Fang Yang replied.
After ending the call, Gu Yue softly asked: "Fang Yang, what's wrong?"
"Senior Liu has something for me, he wants me to go to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda." Fang Yang explained.
Gu Yue nodded lightly: "Hmm, it just so happens I also want to see my teacher."
Fang Yang said: "Then let's go together."
"Okay." Gu Yue nodded slightly.
And so, Fang Yang held Gu Yue's hand and walked out of the dormitory.
Little Black lay on Fang Yang's shoulder, its deep eyes curiously observing the scenery along the way.
The two people and one cat left Shrek Academy and headed towards the Spirit Transfer Pagoda headquarters... Spirit Transfer Pagoda headquarters, Heavenly Spirit Pagoda.
After Fang Yang and Gu Yue completed their identity registration, they entered the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda.
In the magnificent Spirit Transfer Pagoda hall, Su Tao was already waiting.
"Fang Yang." Su Tao waved, signaling.
Seeing this, Fang Yang led Gu Yue forward.
Su Tao said: "Let's go."
"That, I..." Gu Yue hesitated slightly.
"It's fine, you both come along." Su Tao said gently.
Gu Yue looked at Fang Yang, and seeing him nod in agreement, she said no more.
And so, everyone arrived in front of a dedicated elevator.
Su Tao took out a special card and swiped it lightly across the sensor area; the elevator doors silently slid open.
The three walked into the elevator, and the doors slowly closed.
The elevator ascended steadily, and after about a minute, the doors slowly opened again.
The top floor of the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, Spirit Transfer Pagoda headquarters, had been reached.
"Follow me." Su Tao led Fang Yang and Gu Yue forward.
Soon, they arrived outside a room.
Fang Yang, holding Gu Yue's hand, followed Su Tao into the room. The room was simply and elegantly furnished, filled with a faint scent of books.
"Fang Yang, you're here."
Liu Yang sat in the center of the room, his gaze calmly looking over. Then he turned to Gu Yue, "Silver Dragon King, it's a pleasure to meet you."
He raised his hand, gesturing for the two to sit.
Fang Yang respectfully saluted: "Senior Liu Yang."
"Hello."
Gu Yue responded politely, sitting down with Fang Yang in the guest seats.
Little Black obediently lay on Fang Yang's shoulder, its deep eyes curiously surveying its surroundings.
"You don't need to be so formal."
Liu Yang waved his hand slightly, his gaze falling upon Su Tao.
Su Tao understood, and after a slight nod, he slowly retreated to stand silently to the side.
"Are you two going to the Star Luo Continent next?" Liu Yang asked.
Fang Yang's heart stirred slightly: "Yes, is someone from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda also going?"
"That's right."
Liu Yang nodded, "Qian Gu Zhang Ting will go, and I've arranged for Qian Zhen Zang and others to accompany him."
"The Qian Gu Family somehow obtained information about the Dragon Valley and plans to go under the guise of being exchange students on the Star Luo Continent."
He paused, then added, "Additionally, the Tang Sect has also arranged for people to go to the Dragon Valley."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Liu Yang, I understand." Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Fang Yang's eyes.
The Dragon Valley is of great importance, it seems this trip to the Star Luo Continent is destined not to be peaceful.
