The mountain road was like a staircase, paved with different stones. The ninth stone was no different, except for a few more cracks. But anyone who stepped into it would disappear in the colorful sea of ​​flowers.

Since it is Ningshen College, the world's number one educational holy place, it naturally has its hidden mysteries. The students in the square saw it, set out on the road, and entered it like Xia Xiaoshushuang.

Peach trees spread their branches by the roadside, and there were many fallen petals under his feet. Xia Xiao relaxed his brows, feeling quite comfortable. The Ningshen Academy had never deliberately explained its name, but the word "Ningshen" was the original intention of its establishment. Therefore, there were thousands of flowers and trees. However, if you want to calm your mind, you can't indulge yourself.

The petals floated past him, but Xia Xiao ignored them. He wanted to try how far he could go instead of being obsessed with peach blossoms.

The flower forest was picturesque and seemed to have no end. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked side by side for a long time, and they never repeated the same path, but they never walked out of the peach forest.

Xia Xiao stamped her feet and closed her eyes. Shu Shuang looked at her, thinking that she should remain unchanged in the face of change. But before she could look at the mountain road with a more profound perspective, the scene in front of her changed and she was back to the starting point of the mountain road.

The starting point is connected to one side of the square. When Xia Xiao opened his eyes, he was surprised. It is indeed Ningshen Academy, but it may be troublesome to go up the mountainside and leave the foothills.

"There will be more to come."

Xia Xiao looked up at the silence on the mountainside, thinking back to his previous foolish act of using the wood element's vitality to sense the sea of ​​flowers. He was afraid that he had offended too much, which led to the senior in the dark to send him back.

"Are you still going?"

Shu Shuang was curious, but Xia Xiao shook his head. He was still very far away from the mountainside!

"Since you know that you have overestimated yourself, you will not leave. Go back and rest."

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked around, trying to familiarize themselves with the second floor of the green-tiled house, but it was too small and they could walk through it in just ten minutes. There were no other buildings around, except for the square and the second floor, and it was empty, with nothing but mountains and forests. But there seemed to be many mysteries in it, but Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were not in a hurry to comprehend them, after all, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient.

As soon as they entered the dormitory building, even though Shu Shuang followed Xia Xiao out of habit, she still stopped and went up the stairs when the latter walked into the room.

Shu Shuang kept a calm mind. The three women in the room were from Gou Longbang clan, Yun country and Adventurer's Guild. Therefore, they didn't talk much and just did their own things.

Compared to the woman's calmness, the man was showing signs of anger, and it seemed that a fight would break out if he wasn't careful.

Xia Xiao sat in a comfortable bed, planning his life for the next year. He looked relaxed, not feeling at ease or restless because of the other three people in the room. But they were always looking at each other warily, as if they would be destroyed as soon as he fell asleep.

Seeing those two extremely nervous faces, Xia Xiao formed the "He" seal and absorbed the vital energy.

This behavior is normal, but Hei Long frowned. Did Xia Xiao not take him seriously and started practicing directly? People at this time are the most vulnerable!

Seeing Black Dragon's expression, the other two left one after another, not wanting to be implicated. But how could Black Dragon take action at this time? He just looked at Xia Xiao, waiting for the latter to exit the state of cultivation.

Xia Xiao did not look down on anyone. He practiced at this time simply because he did not want to waste time. No matter how others fought, he just did his own thing. As long as his strength improved, nothing else would matter.

The vitality seed that had already cracked had grown a small bud under the watering of vitality. When Xia Xiao's body was surrounded by strong vitality, he naturally reached the young age of the Supreme Realm. His seed finally sprouted, and then it marched towards the direction of the towering tree.

The vitality around was extremely rich, stronger than that of the Wanling Valley. Therefore, Xia Xiao accelerated his absorption of vitality. The vitality seeds sprouted, and the seedlings had roots. As long as the vitality was used to consolidate the soil, the seedlings would grow faster. Xia Xiao paid great attention to every detail on the road of cultivation, in order to go further and higher!

Many practitioners' seedlings are unstable when they advance to the Venerable Realm, so they have to sign a spiritual contract to consolidate it with the power of the five elements. But with Ju Mang and Lu Quan, Xia Xiao doesn't have to worry about the seedlings dying.

Following Xia Xiao's thoughts, countless lines suddenly appeared on the seedlings, and then they became greener and more vibrant. This was Ju Mang's power, emitting a halo in the dark sea of ​​​​spirituality. In the halo, the seedlings were pregnant with wind and lightning, and their growth rate was much faster than before.

Xia Xiao tried to call upon the power of fire, but decided not to. He sat down next to the volcano while concentrating and calming his mind.

It was still hot here, and the air was steaming. The moment Xia Xiao arrived, the big dog on the altar moved its nose with a keen sense of smell, and with a red light shining through the sky, it pounced on Xia Xiao and bit him.

Although it has been half a month since I came, there is no need to welcome me like this. Xia Xiao swung his arm violently, causing the big dog in front of him to fall to the side, but the latter was burning with flames and baring its teeth.

Wild beasts grow much faster than humans. Although it's only been half a month, the deer dog is already as tall as Xia Xiao's waist. Now Xia Xiao wants to catch it and spank it, but it may be difficult.

"Still angry?"

"You humiliated me, this hatred is irreconcilable!"

This guy is really a gas tank. I haven't been here for such a long time, but he still remembers what happened last time. It seems that I can't use this trick against him in the future!

"If we keep getting angry like this, I'm afraid we'll never have a chance to communicate."

"I don't care."

"Little guy, you are quite arrogant."

"I am older than you, in every way!"

Xia Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could feel that his connection with it was much stronger than before. Perhaps after some time, they would be able to communicate normally.

"Also, my name is Fire Spirit Beast, don't call me little guy!"

Xia Xiao sat down again, somewhat surprised. Although this guy acted as if he wanted to eat him, he told him his name, which was considered progress. However, the Fire Spirit Beast lacked some momentum.

"Change your name?"

"Why? I'll stick with this name and I won't change it no matter what!"

Xia Xiao couldn't defeat it, but if he had a conflict with others in the future, he would feel that it lacked some dominance when calling out this name.

"I thought of a good name for you."

The Fire Spirit Beast showed some interest, and although it cursed, it still barked:

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"Huo Dou, how about that? It sounds better than the Fire Spirit Beast anyway."

Naming can enhance feelings and tacit understanding. Without this foundation, future battles will become troublesome. For Xia Xiao now, Huo Dou is his trump card. The last moment it was still the wood element, with vines breaking the ground, and the next moment it was a raging fire that could burn everything, which was shocking and panicking.

In his eyes, the deer dog exhaled a few flames, and he was obviously satisfied.

"You bastard, I'll listen to you just once!"

Being called a dog by a dog was really unfair to Xia Xiao. However, he would not be submissive in front of outsiders, nor would he punch hard in front of his contracted beast.

"Go away! I feel pain in my balls just by seeing you."

Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Xiao disappeared into the volcano. Seeing this, Lu Quan was furious.

You bastard, are you really going to leave just like that?

Huo Dou got angry and caused the volcano to erupt, destroying any green creature on the mountain. He was bored of staying here and wanted to go out and play, but Xia Xiao, that bastard, never looked for him in every battle!

As long as you fall into a deep state of practice, time will pass very quickly. Unknowingly, it was already night. Xia Xiao opened his eyes and it was a little dark around him, but the black dragon's pupil in front of him was staring at him, which made him feel strange and even a little scared. In the past, Shu Shuang always looked at him like this, which was a happy feeling, but now he wanted to get angry.

"what?"

Xia Xiao's attitude was extremely cold, and Hei Long was not much better. In order to wait for Xia Xiao to wake up, he did not go anywhere and waited here for the entire afternoon.

"Ask you a question!"
