Chapter 167 Xian Lin'er Goes to the Meeting Alone.
Xian Lin'er's figure quietly appeared in front of the modern and metallic gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
She did not deliberately conceal her aura, but the immense pressure belonging to a Title Douluo was extremely restrained. Unless a strong person of the same level carefully examined her, she would be almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
Standing here, Xianlin'er did indeed experience a moment of complex emotions and hesitation.
It wasn't fear, but rather a kind of indescribable sense of alienation and heaviness.
But the next moment, all the hesitation and turmoil in her clear and resolute eyes subsided, turning into a deep pool of calm and determination.
From the moment he decided to come alone, she knew clearly what she was about to face.
Whether it's the humiliation or difficulties from the Sun Moon Empire, or the potential life-or-death crisis, she will accept it all!
Just as she was about to take a step, a voice came from the side, which made her pause and turn her head involuntarily.
"Hello, senior, how can I help you?"
Xu Wei looked at the middle-aged woman with curiosity. Her face clearly showed the marks of time, but she did not look old.
Her attire was not typical of the Sun Moon Empire; she wore a simple yet exceptionally fine robe, exuding a cool and aloof air, seemingly out of place with her surroundings.
However, the inexplicable aura she possessed made her someone not to be underestimated.
Although Xu Wei came from a commoner background, he could get along with anyone and was very popular.
This is thanks to his high emotional intelligence, and he dares to take the initiative to talk to anyone, no matter who he is facing.
Xian Lin'er looked at Xu Wei walking beside her. His school uniform clearly indicated that he was a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
However, he didn't have many soul tools on him, and his soul power was extremely solid, as if he was about to break through to the Soul Master level.
To possess such strength at such a young age, one must be a genius of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Xian Lin'er thought for a moment, then said, "I've come to see your dean."
"Dean Hongchen?!"
Xu Wei exclaimed in surprise, not expecting the other party to come up and ask for the dean right away. He thought to himself that this person was indeed no ordinary person.
Xian Lin'er nodded, also curious about what Xu Wei would say next.
Xu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I know where the dean might be. I'll take you there."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xian Lin'er's eyes, and she smiled and said, "Then thank you very much."
The two walked into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, one after the other.
In fact, Xu Wei did this after careful consideration.
Although there was no trace of soul power fluctuation on Xian Lin'er's body, her extraordinary temperament clearly indicated that she was a person of high status.
And those in the Soul Master world who hold high positions are very likely to be powerful individuals.
As for whether it was appropriate to rashly bring people to see Dean Jing Hongchen, he felt that he was just adding fuel to the fire.
Judging from Xian Lin'er's attitude before, even if she didn't have it, he would have gone into the academy to find it himself.
Besides, he's now a "rising star" that the academy is working hard to cultivate, and he still has some "face" even in front of Dean Jing Hongchen.
Along the way, Xianlin'er curiously looked around, and couldn't help but compare this place with Shrek Academy, her mood gradually becoming heavy.
After walking for about half an hour, Xu Wei stopped and pointed to a cluster of buildings in the distance, saying, "That's Mingde Hall. Dean Hongchen is usually there when he's not busy, but I don't know if he's there today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a powerful aura suddenly emanate from Xian Lin'er beside him.
Although this aura was fleeting and not released indiscriminately or targeted at him, Xu Wei still felt somewhat apprehensive.
He had only ever felt such an aura from a Title Douluo.
My heart started racing uncontrollably, and I thought to myself, "This senior is indeed a 'senior'."
Xian Lin'er looked at Xu Wei and smiled, "He's inside. Thank you for today, Xu Wei."
Xian Lin'er had already sensed that there was the aura of a Title Douluo in Mingde Hall, which should be Jing Hongchen.
"Uh... Senior, you're welcome."
Knowing that the other party might be a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level, Xu Wei felt some pressure and became even more curious about who this senior was.
Just then, Jing Hongchen's figure suddenly flew out of Mingde Hall and landed in front of Xian Lin'er.
Looking at Jing Hongchen's serious expression, there seemed to be a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Xu Wei's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had brought Dean Hongchen's enemies with him.
Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Are you from Shrek Academy?"
As soon as Xian Lin'er's spiritual power swept over Mingde Hall, he sensed it and immediately flew out.
After scrutinizing Xian Lin'er, he had already formed some judgments in his mind.
Xian Lin'er didn't keep them in suspense and introduced them directly: "Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, is practically a colleague of Dean Hong Chen."
"Hahaha!" Jing Hongchen laughed a few times, then asked, "Shrek only sent you alone?"
Xian Lin'er's expression turned serious, and she said, "I am enough on my own. I can make all the decisions regarding this exchange activity between the two academies, as well as... Elder Xuan's matter!"
Xu Wei, who was listening from the side, only then realized that the senior he had brought was actually a powerful figure from Shrek Academy.
Her main purpose in coming here was to redeem the evil old man from Shrek who had tried to attack them during the competition!
"Please come with me, Immortal Dean."
Jing Hongchen didn't say much, but made a gesture of invitation.
His attitude was neither enthusiastic nor obviously hostile; it was more like a businesslike distance.
Xian Lin'er remained calm, nodded slightly, and silently followed behind Jing Hongchen.
Although Xu Wei was eager to know the details of the upcoming "negotiations," he understood that he was not yet qualified to participate, so he obediently left.
As Xian Lin'er followed Jing Hongchen across a wide plaza toward the teaching building ahead, Jing Hongchen seemed to make a seemingly insignificant little gesture.
With a casual flick of his wide sleeves, a metal sphere about the size of a fist, entirely silver and with an impeccably smooth surface, silently slipped out from his sleeve.
It then transformed into an almost elusive silver streak, soaring into the sky at an astonishing speed and disappearing into the air in an instant.
Xian Lin'er paused almost imperceptibly, her cool gaze following the direction in which the streak of light disappeared.
Jing Hongchen made no attempt to hide anything and smiled, saying, "The remote communication soul tool—the specifics will need to be discussed with Elder Kong."
Xian Lin'er nodded, knowing that the Kong Lao mentioned by Jing Hongchen was Kong Deming, the Super Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire, who had captured Xuanzi alive!
Suddenly, the formulaic smile on Jing Hongchen's face and the solemnity in Xian Lin'er's eyes were shattered almost simultaneously, replaced by pure astonishment.
Not far away, a dazzling emerald green beam of light shot into the sky without warning!
The two immediately realized that the light was not caused by the soul tool, but contained unimaginable, pure and boundless life energy!
Its intensity was so great that even two powerful figures at the Title Douluo level felt refreshed and invigorated in an instant.
"This is..."
Jing Hongchen suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction from which the pillar of light was rising; that was the advanced cultivation area.
Xian Lin'er looked at Jing Hongchen's expression; the other party seemed to be surprised by the sudden "change of events."
She looked at the towering pillar of light, and the life energy within it subconsciously reminded her of the golden tree on Seagod Island at Shrek Academy.
This life energy seems even purer than that of the golden tree!
She was deeply shocked, wondering when the Sun Moon Empire had mastered this level of life energy.
At the same time, she was also wondering if, with the injection of this extremely pure life energy, Moon, who was on the verge of death, could regain his vitality and escape his inevitable demise.
The moment the idea came to her, she dismissed it with a wry smile.
Given the relationship between the two parties, even if this life energy had the effect they imagined, the other party would not use it on Moon!
