The five of them had a smooth journey, but they encountered a powerful monster on the way. An Yu was seriously injured. After he recovered from his injury, his strength strangely remained at level five. No matter how much An Yu practiced, there was no sign of improvement.

Later, the dean saw that his strength had not improved, and he became suspicious and checked on him personally. He then discovered that there was a tiny crack near the edge of his dantian. It was this crack that blocked the gathering of magic elements in his dantian!

In order to protect An Yu, the dean consulted many alchemists and read various ancient books. He then used a special method to reinforce the tiny cracks on the edge of his dantian, so as to prevent the cracks from expanding due to the excessive accumulation of magic elements in An Yu's dantian!

In this way, An Yu could continue to practice and his strength would not remain at the level of a fifth-level magician. However, this crack always hindered the speed of his practice. It took him almost half a year to advance from the peak of level five to level six!

It is precisely because he has been promoted that those who have been plotting against him are wary of him!

But those people still didn't give up, and kept provoking An Yu in various ways during this period. However, after An Yu suffered a loss, he became much calmer and carefully avoided the traps set for him by those people.

Until... Anran appeared.

He is now really afraid that his sister will become another him. If this is true, then he will really be to blame!

An Ran listened quietly, looking at her brother with her black eyes full of guilt. She never thought that her brother had experienced so many things in this year, but he still said nothing and smiled all day long as usual. If she had not come to the Magician Academy by accident and inadvertently got entangled in the power struggles in the Magician Academy, her brother would probably never tell her these things.

Thinking about all the grievances and frame-ups that An Yu had suffered in the past year, An Ran was furious. He had never been a kind person and could not bear to see his brother being framed by those people and remain indifferent!

An Ran stared straight at her brother, and her scorching eyes made An Yu look away. An Ran held her brother's hand tightly and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember any of the people you were in the same group with?"

After a while, An Yu finally nodded and slowly said the names of these people: "Sun Changrong, Lin Moyu, Murong Ran, Baili Yin, and Princess Lisa of the Empire."

An Ran's expression suddenly turned cold. "Did someone push you away when the monster attacked? Was that person Princess Lisa?"

An Yu's body trembled, and he pursed his lips without saying a word. An Ran's expression instantly turned into a cloud, and a horrified murderous intent burst out from his whole body!

What a Lisa! What a princess of the Bert Empire! She calls herself a princess of the royal family, yet in times of crisis, she only flees, letting her brother serve as a shield! Her brother is injured, and instead of offering condolences, she takes advantage of his misfortune!

Shameless, despicable, and disgusting!

An idea quietly arose in An Ran's heart. The An family now had a genius young man. The royal family of the Burt Empire must be worried that the An family would retaliate because of their previous experience. Therefore, he regarded the An family as a thorn in his eyes. Once the An family developed, the Burt royal family would definitely crack down on it and exclude it!

"Of course, don't think about revenge. This is my brother's fate..."

An Yu smiled bitterly. His Dantian was half destroyed, and there was no way he could improve his strength much in this life. The last time he was able to reach the peak of level seven with the help of Senior Qilin, he was very satisfied now. At least this strength still had a certain deterrent effect and could protect the people he always wanted to protect. Apart from that, he had no other ideas at all.

An Ran shook her head fiercely, her eyes bloodshot. "Fate? I don't believe in fate! My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God. If you want to leave it to fate, I will break it! I will never let go of those who bullied you! I will make them pay the price for hurting you! I will make them pay you back tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold for the harm you've suffered!"

An Yu felt tears welling up in his eyes after hearing An Ran's words. This was his sister, who never gave up and was always so persistent and stubborn. Once she made up her mind about something, she would go forward without hesitation, even if there seemed to be many thorns in the way, she would not retreat at all!

An Ran's spiritual power slowly penetrated An Yu's body. What exactly was the cause of her brother's illness? Was it the attack from the demon beast? What kind of attack could have opened a small hole in the edge of his dantian, just in time to let him know clearly that he would never be able to advance?

She always believed that this was definitely a conspiracy, a conspiracy against her brother!

Their goal was to make their brother realize that he would never be able to advance, to watch helplessly as the newly established An family slowly regressed to its former state under their suppression! They wanted An Yu to be consumed by the remorse he felt, and to see the once-prodigy finally fall apart!

This is a psychological warfare!

A despicable psychological warfare!!

The spiritual power slowly traveled through An Yu's body. When it came into contact with An Yu's dantian, An Ran was suddenly startled. This was...

In An Yu's dantian, the magic elements have reached a certain level of density, which is not at all like the level of level seven. Yun Feng sensed it carefully and found that these magic elements are enough for An Yu to reach the peak of level eight!

However, these magic elements were divided into two parts of unequal concentrations by his dantian. One part supported An Yu's normal daily life, while the other part of the magic elements with a higher concentration was closer to the crack on the edge of his dantian. Those magic elements formed a small vortex in front of the crack and flowed through his body bit by bit.

An Ran slowly withdrew her spiritual power. She looked at her brother in confusion, "Brother, didn't the Qilin help you heal the hidden injuries in your body before? Why does this crack still exist?"

An Yu smiled bitterly. When he was in the Apocalypse Mountains, he heard Xu Errong say that the Qilin mythical beast had healed the hidden injuries in his body that had lasted for many years, making his body as healthy as a newborn baby. He was so excited at that time!

But... when the Qilin sent him to that hell on earth to train alone, he discovered that the scar on his Dantian still existed, and had not been healed at all. (To be continued.)
