Academy

After flying for two hours, just as they were approaching the border of Jia Ma, Xiao Ming suddenly stopped and hovered in mid-air.

Seeing this, Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian also hovered beside him.

"Did you find anything?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, a hint of doubt on her pretty face.

Xiao Ming shook his head, not answering, but looking back in the direction he had come from.

In an instant, a colorful light flashed by and wrapped around Xiao Ming's arm.

Looking at the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python on Xiao Ming's arm, Zi Yan was initially confused, was pleasantly surprised.

"Sister Medusa!"

"She's not Medusa anymore, otherwise she wouldn't have followed us," Xiao Ming corrected him.

Zi Yan chuckled and, regardless of whether Xiao Ming was right or wrong, started to stroke her.

Little did she know that the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, which had been so close to her just yesterday, would directly avoid her palm, its intelligent eyes fixed on Xiao Ming with longing and ingratiation.

Seeing that Xiao Ming did not react, it rubbed its little head against Xiao Ming's cheek and made a soft hissing sound.

"You chased after me, not because you're hungry, right?" Xiao Ming blinked and asked, somewhat speechless.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ming took out the jade Jade Bottle containing the Companion Amethyst Source from his Na Ring.

The moment the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python saw the Jade Bottle, a clear look of excitement flashed in its eyes. With a flick of its tail, it appeared at the mouth of the bottle and began to suck in the contents.

In a short while, one-twentieth of the Companion Amethyst Source disappeared.

Only then did the Sky-Swallowing Python raise its head and let out a satisfied hiss.

Zi Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed it. Because it was full and had drunk its fill, the little guy did not resist and let Zi Yan hold it.

"What do you plan to do with it? Send it back to the Snake People Race?" Xiao Yi Xian asked curiously from the side.

"This..." To be honest, Xiao Ming was unwilling to fly for another two hours after only two hours.

"Why send it back? Wouldn't it be better to let Medusa stay with us?" Zi Yan said, gently stroking the snake's body with her small hand after hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words.

"And what if she goes hungry when none of those people have anything to eat?"

"I think you're not worried about her going hungry, you just want to keep her with you, right?" Xiao Yi Xian smiled, seeing through Zi Yan's little scheme.

Zi Yan quickly shook her head and denied it, "No, I'm worried that she'll run around like she did today, and what if something happens to her?"

"That won't work with me; your Xiao Ming needs to agree." Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's gaze immediately locked onto Xiao Ming.

"..."

"Fine, take it if you want," Xiao Ming said, rubbing his temples.

Anyway, it's impossible for him to run that far to send it back to the Snake People Race, and it's also unrealistic to let the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python go back on its own.

Then we'll just have to keep her with us. Once Medusa wakes up, she can go back wherever she wants.

"Yay!" Zi Yan cheered as soon as Xiao Ming nodded.

The small snake in his hand seized the opportunity to slip out and burrow into Xiao Ming's sleeve.

Clearly, it prefers Xiao Ming to Zi Yan.

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's actions caused Zi Yan to freeze, her little face showing some frustration.

"You'll have plenty of time to play later, let's get going." Xiao Ming comforted them before taking the lead and flying towards the Jia Ma Empire.

Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian could only follow.

After entering the Jia Ma Empire, the group did not stay there but flew directly towards Black Corner, only stopping when they needed to rest.

Ten days later, in the forest outside the Jia Nan Academy Inner Courtyard.

A convoy of flying Magical Beasts, kept by the Jia Nan Academy, soared through the sky.

At the head of the Flying Caravan, several elderly men with Back Growing Wings led the way.

Attacks imbued with energy surged from their hands, blasting any Magical Beast that dared to charge the convoy into Blood Mist, eliciting gasps of amazement from the students behind.

At the very front of the convoy, there was an old man who was different from the others; he did not have wings behind him.

The ability to move through the air without wings is the standard for Dou Zong powerhouse.

The areas overseen by other elders occasionally had oversights that required others to cover for them, but the areas he was responsible for were flawless.

"Hu Gan Dean Hu's abilities are terrifying."

"Hehe, that's right, the vice Dean is Dou Zong!"

The students on the flying Magical Beast were filled with excitement; it wasn't easy to meet a Dou Zong expert.

"I heard that Vice Dean Hu Gan was able to break through to the Dou Zong because Elder Xiao Ming refined the Breaking Sect Pill?"

"The Breaking Sect Pill! That's Grade Six High-Level Medicinal Pill!"

"Hehe, Elder Xiao Ming is a rare genius in our academy. He could already refine Grade Six High-Level Medicinal Pill before, and now he might even be Seven-Rank Alchemist. You know, he's about the same age as us."

These words once again caused a stir.

Just as the students were chatting enthusiastically, three streaks of light rushed in from afar.

This caught Hu Gan's attention, but he relaxed after sensing the Aura of the newcomer.

At the same time, he transmitted a message to the elders beside him. "Don't be nervous, it's Xiao Ming. Tell the students to behave themselves and maintain this speed."

"Yes!"

The rainbow light quickly approached, slowing down slightly as it got closer to the Flying Caravan.

The crowd was then able to clearly see the newcomer's appearance.

"Wow! It's Elder Xiao Ming!"

"Look, look!"

"..."

The trainees immediately became excited; young men and women are always full of passion.

However, their joy was short-lived as they were soon reprimanded by the elders.

"Vice Dean, it's time for new students to enroll again. I didn't expect you to be leading the way again this year!" Xiao Ming said with a hearty laugh as he looked at Hu Gan, who was clearing the way.

"It's the new student ceremony, I lead the team every year." Hu Gan was also very happy to see Xiao Ming, his face full of smiles.

Xiao Ming glanced at the new students and spotted Xiao Yan.

However, Xiao Ming merely frowned and ignored him.

Regardless of whether Xiao Yan entered Jia Nan Academy for the sake of the Heavenly Flames.

Without Old Man Yao, it would be impossible for him to snatch the Heavenly Flames from the Jia Nan Academy.

If he behaves himself and diligently cultivates at the Jia Nan Academy, it would be a good choice.

These new students reminded Xiao Ming of his own experience entering the Inner Academy when he was just over eight years old.

Has such a long time really passed? Time waits for no one!

After a brief sigh, Xiao Ming asked.

"Vice Dean, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Hu Jia. How is she doing?"

"That girl Hu Jia, entered the Inner Academy a year ago. I don't know the specifics. If you have time when you come back this time, go and see her," Hu Gan, shaking his head.

To be honest, he had wanted to take Xiao Ming as his Grandson-in-law a long time ago, but Elder Huo refused.

As time went by, those feelings gradually faded away.

"I will, then we'll be going now." Nodding, Xiao Ming didn't say anything more.
