After sending Jiang Donghua away, Xiao Han didn't say much. He just glanced around coldly, then turned and left, making the students who were peeping in secret lower their heads to avoid him.
"Dou Wang..."
He murmured in a low voice, his eyes flashing coldly.
As Nine-Star Battle Spirit, the strongest among the three, he is only one step away from Dou Wang, but this step has trapped countless geniuses, and some even cannot cross it throughout their lives.
And now, Jiang Donghua has given him a chance, an opportunity that can truly make him one of the top players in the Inner Academy!
"Retreat!"
He stepped into his training room without hesitation. The cold air around him suddenly erupted, and the entire room instantly condensed into a thick layer of frost. He sat cross-legged, took out Jade Bottle, and stared at the drop of red blood-red liquid in it, with fighting intent burning in his eyes.
"When I come out of seclusion, Inner Academy Strong Ranking, the cards will be reshuffled!"
Liu Qingsi looked at Xiao Han's leaving figure, her red lips pursed slightly, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
"This guy is quite decisive..."
She looked down at the Jade Bottle in her hand, gently feeling the violent energy contained in it with her fingertips.
As Seven-Star Battle Spirit, she was still some distance away from Dou Wang, but Jiang Donghua's words ignited an unprecedented desire in her heart.
"If I can really break through Dou Wang, then who among the Inner Academy dares to underestimate me?"
She snorted coldly, and the dark green Dou Qi wrapped around her like a poisonous snake, then turned and left. She needed to improve her strength as soon as possible, at least to Nine-Star Battle Spirit, to ensure that the effect of Meridian-Burning Barrier-Breaking Pill was maximized.
On the other side, Lei Lie grinned, his rough face full of excitement.
"Hahaha! I really found a treasure this time!"
He held Jade Bottle tightly, his eyes flashing fiercely. Although he was not as talented as Xiao Han, he was stronger in body and firm in will.
If he can really withstand the burning power of Meridian-Burning Barrier-Breaking Pill, he may not be able to catch up from behind!
"Retreat! Retreat! I will never leave the retreat until I break through Dou Wang this time!"
He laughed and left. His burly body was like a moving mountain, causing students around him to avoid him.
The news that the three people had gone into seclusion one after another quickly caused an uproar in the Inner Academy.
"What? Xiao Han, Liu Qingsi, and Lei Lie were in retreat at the same time?!"
"I heard they got some kind of elixir from that Outer Court boy!"
"For Strong Ranking's top ten experts to pay so much attention to it, that elixir is definitely not simple!"
Inner Academy, somewhere in a quiet training attic.
Hong Ling was dressed in a black and red robe, leaning against the window, tapping the window lattice impatiently with his fingertips.
Those big fox eyes were full of annoyance and anxiety at this moment.
"Damn it, how could I be stupid enough to get an alchemist?!"
"Fourth-grade Alchemist in just one year, and Elder Mo Xuan is backing me, so I'm in big trouble now!"
Hong Ling The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.
Alchemists are already rare, let alone a being with such a demonic talent?
With the growth rate of Jiang Donghua, he will definitely be able to enter Inner Academy next year. By then, if he holds a grudge...
"No, we must find a way to remedy it!"
She stood up suddenly, her chest rising and falling due to her rapid breathing, and then she started frantically rummaging through Storage Ring.
"Level 4 Magic Core? No, it's too ordinary."
"Mysterious Tier High-grade Combat Skill? He may not like it~"
After rummaging for a long time, she suddenly focused her eyes and took out a red crystal stone with golden lines on its surface from the depths of Storage Ring.
"Crimson Fire Jade?!"
This was something she got by chance in a secret mission last year, and she wanted to keep it for use when she broke through Dou Wang.
"I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf!"
She gritted her teeth, carefully put away the jade, and then took out the most precious Magic Core.
"Plus the Fifth-grade Demonic Core that I finally grabbed from the rebels?"
Hong Ling took a deep breath, a trace of physical pain flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Instead of waiting for him to retaliate in the future, it is better to bow down proactively!"
She adjusted her robe, and her figure was even more enchanting under the tight black and red robe, but she had no time to care about it at the moment.
"You have to come and apologize in person before he enters Inner Academy!"
Hong Ling walked out of the Alchemy Department door, stood in the sunshine, and subconsciously adjusted her black and red robe to make the already tight-fitting material fit her curves better.
She tilted her head slightly, her fingertips gently brushed her delicate jawline, and her red lips raised a confident arc.
"Humph, what's the point of apologizing? If you can capture him..."
Jiang Donghua's indifferent face flashed in her mind, as well as his faint smile when he took Magic Core.
"What about the alchemist? He's not a man yet?"
She has always been confident in her own charm. Inner Academy There are many people pursuing her. Strong Ranking At least three of them have paid attention to her in the past thirty years.
It's just that she has always looked higher than her head, and feels that those people are not worthy of her.
"A pharmacist who will be at least a fifth-grade or even a sixth-grade alchemist in the future deserves my initiative."
She hummed softly and unconsciously touched Storage Ring with her fingertips, already starting to figure out which dress she should wear next time she went to Outer Court.
Waiting for the woman to leave Jiang Donghua scratched his head, looked at the Fifth-grade Demonic Core in his hand and smiled lightly.
"This Senior Sister drama is too much."
He recalled Hong Ling's fearful and calm appearance, and almost laughed out loud.
"It's too late for me to thank her. If she hadn't helped call people, I wouldn't even be able to see Liu Qingsi and the others."
As for holding a grudge?
"Who has time to remember such trivial things!"
Three days later, at the door of the Alchemy Department.
Hong Ling changed from the previous fierce style and changed into a moon-white waist-length dress. Her dark hair was half pulled up, and even the ends of her eyes were painted with a touch of gold powder. The whole person looked elegant and yet vaguely charming.
"According to intelligence, he will come out today."
She seemed to be leaning against the corridor pillar unconsciously, playing with a strand of hair with her fingertips.
When Jiang Donghua's figure appeared at the bottom of the steps, Hong Ling immediately turned around and his skirt drew an elegant arc.
"Ah, Junior Brother Jiang? What a coincidence."
Jiang Donghua looked up and saw Hong Ling shining in the sun. It took him two seconds to recognize him.
"Sister, have you changed your style?"
Hong Ling covered her lips and smiled softly, her eyes moving.
"What, doesn't it look good?"
Jiang Donghua nodded honestly.
"It's good-looking, it's just..."
He pointed to the place where the steps of the colonnade had not been wiped dry.
"Sister, you are wet."
Hong Ling's smile froze.
I don't believe that I can't take you down. You won't eat the meat that reaches your mouth!
Even if you Jiang Donghua are just a pot for refining medicine, I don't believe you don't have any movement in your heart.
Ever since Hong Ling started coming in and out of Outer Court Alchemy Department frequently, the atmosphere in the entire alchemy hall has become weird.
"Bang--!"
There was another muffled sound of an explosion, and a young alchemist hurriedly put out the flames, with a dazed and silly smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on the graceful figure not far away.
Hong Ling was leaning against the window, a thin gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, her slender legs looming, her fingertips playing with a strand of hair, her eyes slightly raised, her eyes moving with a soul-stirring magic.
"Oops, the furnace exploded again?"
Her red lips parted slightly, her tone filled with innocent concern.
"Refining medicine is really difficult~"
"No, it's not difficult! I'll start over right away!"
The student got excited and hurriedly cleaned up the medicinal residue, but accidentally knocked over the medicinal materials piled next to him.
"Wow--"
The liquid medicine was spilled all over the floor, and the entire medicine refining table was in a mess.
Hong Ling covered his lips and smiled softly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
