Xiao Xuan walked out of the Pope's Palace, where Hu Liena was already poised and ready.

She had changed back into the "battle outfit" she had worn when they first met.

Valiant and striking, youthful and beautiful, she carried a hint of cool aloofness and seductive charm.

"Not bad at all."

"This look is more like the Hu Liena I remember."

"If she hadn't met me and had certain special traits awakened..."

"Then once this girl grew up and her personality solidified, she would have become like she was in the original story."

"Mm, now this is what you call raising someone right!"

Hu Liena's personality could be considered exceptionally pure.

Otherwise, she would not have been "lured in" by Tang San in Slaughter City in the original story.

Such a pure nature was like an exquisitely carved sheet of blank paper. Early guidance was crucial.

If she got a few years older, she might no longer be changeable.

And it was precisely because Xiao Xuan had entered her field of vision.

Attracted by the talent of his Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul, her latent tendency to dote on younger boys had also been faintly stirred.

Thus, whenever the two of them were alone.

Xiao Xuan sometimes felt that the way this girl behaved was unlike the Hu Liena he had known before.

But in truth, it was all because he had influenced—no, tricked—her!

"Sister Nana, let's go."

"I heard Spirit Hall has an academy as well?"

"Will I need to apply to join it when the time comes?"

He studied Hu Liena closely until she became shy and fidgety.

Only then did Xiao Xuan smile and head toward the city gates with her.

Along the way, he casually asked about enrollment.

On Douluo Continent, the inheritance of soul masters generally took two forms: sects and academies.

The former leaned toward family-based forces, while the latter catered to a broader range of people.

Spirit Hall naturally followed the second path.

The so-called Spirit Hall Academy was a place that recruited children from across the continent for training and selection.

If Xiao Xuan entered through the examinations, then the process was beyond question.

But the Spirit Hall Battle Team was made up of the finest among the younger generation.

Whether he needed to follow the usual procedure was hard to say.

"Yes, my brother and the others are all students of Spirit Hall Academy."

"But don't worry, it's only in name."

"Our usual instruction is conducted separately. The other students can't keep up."

"Generally, we only return to the academy when new companions join after passing the advancement assessment."

"As for you... hehe, you're now Teacher's disciple too, just like me."

"Other than Elder Gui and Elder Ju, who would dare teach you?"

Hu Liena chuckled and carefully explained the academy's structure.

Put simply, students in the special class were entitled to the privileges of the special class.

They were assigned top-tier teachers, and their learning progress was exceptionally fast.

They had to be kept far ahead of the lower classes.

If students who lacked the qualifications entered.

Not only would they fail to improve, they might even ruin their own cultivation, unable to keep up with the pace at all.

And Xiao Xuan, as Bibi Dong's disciple in name.

Though it was not publicly announced, his direct admission into the Spirit Hall Battle Team had long been decided.

Naturally, there was no need for him to bother with the academy's courses.

Hearing this.

Xiao Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it would not come to that.

If there was one thing he hated most in his previous life.

Without a doubt, it was school!

He had finally transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent.

He could endure cultivation, but school was absolutely out of the question!

Thinking this, the two happily walked out of the inner city.

Just as they neared the city gates, a commotion suddenly arose ahead.

A large number of civilians, as well as low-ranked soul masters.

All stepped aside, consciously retreating to both sides of the main road.

At the same time, a group of people entered through the gate beyond the city walls.

The man at the head of the group wore an arrogant expression with a touch of wicked charm.

Beside him stood a burly young man with flame-colored hair and a face covered in bumps.

Other than Hu Liena's brother Xie Yue and Yan, the goddess-simp, who else could they be?

"They got from Soul Hunting Forest to Spirit City in three days?"

"Though they weren't burdened by supplies, unlike when Tang San entered the city in my memories."

"Still, isn't that a little too fast?"

"Could it be that they were worried Hu Liena and I would spend too long alone together and something indescribable might happen?"

"So these two old straight guys rushed back in a panic?"

He looked in surprise at the two men ahead, their faces dark with frustration.

Xie Yue, who was somewhat of a sister-con, and Yan, whose simping was written all over his face.

There could be no other reason for them to be this anxious.

Xiao Xuan suddenly understood and guessed the truth.

Before he could decide whether to go over and greet them.

Hu Liena beside him had already stepped forward on her own.

She lightly waved at the two of them, immediately drawing countless gazes.

"It's... Miss Hu Liena!"

"The three strongest members of Spirit Hall's younger generation are all here."

"What day is it today? Could His Holiness the Pope be making another major move?"

The residents settled within the city were basically all affiliated with Spirit Hall.

Naturally, no biased remarks arose.

They looked at the three with envy, all hoping that they or their descendants might possess such talent.

Everyone knew that anyone who became a member of the Spirit Hall Battle Team.

So long as they did not die prematurely, would surely rise into the upper echelons in the future.

"Nana! Are you... here to welcome your brother?"

"That's not right. Could the people at the branch hall ahead have already sent word back?"

"Hm? Xiao Xuan is here too!"

Seeing his younger sister appear, delight surfaced on Xie Yue's face.

Only the next moment did he notice Xiao Xuan's presence.

His expression froze briefly before he stiffly offered a greeting.

As for Yan beside him, his expression had been unpleasant from beginning to end.

Of course, Xiao Xuan was not angry about it.

It was understandable. After all, who could endure having their goddess suddenly taken away?

"Ahem, not really."

"Brother, hurry back and report in."

"Xiao Xuan and I were ordered by Teacher to go to Nuo City."

Seeing Xie Yue's eager gaze, even Hu Liena, usually so cool and aloof.

Could not help but cough awkwardly.

She reminded him in a low voice, sparing him further embarrassment.

She was practically saying outright, Brother, don't flatter yourself. Since when had your sister ever treated you this well?

After saying that, she patted her brother on the shoulder.

Then she headed beyond the city gates with Xiao Xuan.

Leaving only Xie Yue and Yan standing there, their faces twitching.

Their eyes were fixed on the backs of Xiao Xuan and Hu Liena.

A powerful sense of crisis kept surging up within them!

What exactly was going on?

They had only been apart for three days, so why did their relationship feel increasingly different?

And if he remembered correctly.

Wasn't Nuo City Xiao Xuan's hometown?

Why would His Holiness the Pope personally issue such an order?

Sending Hu Liena home with that brat!

"Xie Yue, there's something I think needs to be brought up."

"That little brat who suddenly appeared is really unfriendly."

"We need to find an opportunity to teach him a proper lesson!"

"Let him know who the real boss of the Spirit Hall Battle Team is!"

Noticing Xie Yue's expression growing worse and worse.

Yan seized the opportunity and leaned close to make his suggestion in a low voice.

He immediately received Xie Yue's agreement.

"That's right! This can't go on!"

"Don't let that guy's age fool you. He's definitely full of bad intentions."

"Nana will surely suffer if she stays with him."

"When they return from Nuo City this time, the two of us will... have a talk with him!"
