Xia Xiao and Sun Zhonglei saw each other's movements through the candlelight and laughed naturally. Xia Xiao laughed because he was happy. Sun Zhonglei had the same movements as him, which meant that what he thought was right. Sun Zhonglei laughed because he was relieved. There was nothing more gratifying than a teacher training a good enough student.

"You go first."

Sun Zhonglei gave Xia Xiao a chance, and Tianming became interested and asked:

"What do you know now?"

"Although Luo Jing released the Fire Element when she used the Nine-Story Senran Tower, there was a murderous aura in the tower. In other words, her fighting style is not as simple as the Fire Element. People who have revealed their trump cards but we cannot see them are more dangerous than Shi Yongkang who is always hiding his true intentions."

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Sun Zhonglei, waiting for the latter's confirmation. He nodded, which made Xia Xiao confident again.

"Like you said, Luo Jing's strength is not much worse than Shi Yongkang's, but because the Nine-Layered Senran Tower has never liked to compete, Luo Jing has not shown a position comparable to Shi Yongkang. Before challenging her, Feng Lu, you must defeat Xiang Qi first."

"OK."

Feng Lu agreed very easily, not reluctantly, but confidently. Although Xiang Qi was of the Earth Element, he had a five-element restraint on her. But her strength was above Xiang Qi, and Xiang Qi desperately used the damaged Emperor Seal to defeat the water tank, so he could not defeat Feng Lu at all. The latter was proud of not only the absolute zero move, but also the physical strength of the wild beast, which was above the same level as humans.

"We will definitely win the battle tomorrow. After that, it will be Shi Yongkang and Luo Jing."

"Can I come?"

"You mean both of them?"

Xia Xiao nodded. Tianming was the first to disagree. Why? That would be too easy for Xia Xiao. Who doesn't want to be in the limelight? And now the battle is not just about being in the limelight, but for honor and for the academy.

Earth and Fire, although Tianming is not easy to fight with the latter and is restrained by it, the former can be easily defeated. No matter how hard the stone is, it will not have an advantage in front of metal. But Xia Xiao spoke seriously, which made Tianming stunned.

"I want them to never dare to pay attention to the academy again, so I'm going to use the strongest trick I can with my strength. After the last time the consciousness of the ancestor of the spiritual contract used my body, I had some new insights, and I'm ready to engage in actual combat, which should be a big deal."

Xia Xiao had never mentioned his new insights, but seeing how serious he was, Tianming immediately gave up the idea of ​​fighting and said, "I'll give it to you." However, Xia Xiao smiled and said:

"I'll make your shadow appear on the mountain. It will definitely be more handsome than going up there yourself?"

"What's the meaning?"

"You'll know then."

"Have you learned to keep people in suspense?"

"I was the one who gave you this word. How could I not know it?"

When Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows, Sun Zhonglei was happy that they had such friendship, but he was extremely focused and began to summarize.

"Xia Xiao's opponent tomorrow is Gao Yong, Tian Ming's opponent is Fu Yingzi, Long Suihong will face Gao Zheng, and Feng Lu will face Xiang Qi. Shi Yongkang and Luo Jing will be handed over to Xia Xiao the day after tomorrow. Do you have any other questions?"

Sun Zhonglei glanced at the five people at the table. Although Ah Zhu did not join in, he shook his head subconsciously. After everyone said that it was okay, he went back to prepare. Soon, only Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu were left at the table. The latter belatedly asked:

"Can Long Suihong beat Gao Zheng? He seems to be stronger than Gao Yong, right?"

"Yes! He's a little bit strong, but Long Suihong's strength is not bad either. Plus, with the Five Elements restraint, he will definitely win."

“It feels like there are more and more geniuses in the world.”

"They don't deserve the word genius."

"Why? Don't you always affirm others?"

"I'll be sure if you have the ability, why would I talk nonsense if you don't have the ability?"

"You think they are incompetent? They have defeated many people in the academy."

"Xiang Qi is the only one who is capable. I didn't expect him to reach such a high level now. He is the same age as Long Suihong and others. He will be twenty this year. The others are at least three years older. So except for him, the others are not as strong as us no matter how you look at it. When Long Suihong reaches their age, his strength will probably reach Shengguo."

"What about when you reach that age?"

Ah Zhu's question was interesting. Xia Xiao roughly calculated it. He was about to turn seventeen, and already had the strength of the late stage of the Venerable Realm. When he was really seventeen, which was less than half a year later, he would be able to enter the Venerable Realm. The speed at which his vitality tree grew was terrifying, and it was difficult to accurately describe it as amazing.

After the early years and the branches and leaves, the fruit realm will progress very quickly. Therefore, when Xia Xiao was eighteen years old, it was very likely that he would be promoted to the Zun realm of Qulun. Qulun needed a very long process to settle. With Xia Xiao's current talent, it might take two years to enter the Zun realm of Cangtian. After that, even if Xia Xiao was not very good, with his current talent, it would be possible for him to reach Cangtian at the age of twenty-three, which was the age of Shi Yongkang and Luo Jing now.

This was Xia Xiao's bold guess. He didn't know what the real progress would be, but his guess was very conservative. But even the conservative guess was still frighteningly high. So he didn't give Ah Zhu an accurate answer, but just said:

"Definitely better than them."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"How dare you say that to me? You are full of nonsense, go to bed!"

Xia Xiao raised his chin, walked out of Ah Zhu's room, and went back to practice. Ah Zhu cursed at his back and started practicing. Now was not the time to sleep in. Even if it was to impress Doudou, Ah Zhu had to work hard to improve himself. It felt bad to be unable to help or do anything.

After practicing for a while, Ah Zhu lost her concentration and was forced to quit the practice. She had something on her mind, because this place was very close to the small mountain village, but she couldn't go back.

“It’s so annoying.”

Ah Zhu complained as she covered herself with a blanket and went to sleep. She shook the blanket vigorously, creating a gust of wind. The candle flame swayed in the wind, and finally went out powerlessly, emitting a few wisps of green smoke.

The six people from the alliance were also preparing like Xia Xiao and the other four. Because they didn't know how the battle would unfold tomorrow, they were all recovering their own states. But Xiang Qi was too reluctant today. Although the damaged Emperor Seal defeated the water tank, the hidden disease left behind might affect his life again.

The Alliance's doctors could not completely cure Xiang Qi, and their words were very vague, which made him sigh helplessly. Compared with the genius doctors of the academy, even the Master Fu of Medicine King Valley was a little inferior. But fortunately, after Master Fu's medicine adjustment, he vaguely felt that his body would not be so bad, and the hidden disease was not as serious as he thought. It all depends on how he recovers in the future.

The next day, the battle continued. As the most seriously injured member of the alliance, Xiang Qi took the lead in standing in the familiar position of yesterday under the vitality of Hall Master Ren, waiting for the arrival of the academy members.
