Meeting Again

The continents of the Great Thousand World were as countless as stars, but the Northern Cang Continent was one of the more dazzling among them.

All because of the Northern Cang Spirit Academy at its center.

This Spirit Academy was ranked among the Five Great Academies, with countless students arriving each year to study.

Lin Suchou rode White Horse to the outskirts of the Northern Cang Spirit Academy, Northern Cang City.

The city was built with tremendous grandeur and also served as the Northern Cang Spirit Academy's first line of defense.

Following his memories, Lin Suchou first obtained an academy pass at the City Lord's Mansion. Only then did he successfully pass through a massive spirit array and enter the Northern Cang Spirit Academy.

A magnificent scene suddenly unfolded before Lin Suchou.

It was a vast expanse that stretched beyond sight.

Enormous cultivation halls were arranged across the land in orderly fashion. Mountains crisscrossed the landscape, while waterfalls like silver rivers plunged down between them. Amid the lush greenery, everything was breathtakingly grand.

In the sky, figures streamed back and forth without end. On some Martial Arts Arenas, people leaped and darted about as powerful spiritual energy rippled out from time to time.

When Lin Suchou looked farther into the distance, he saw an enormous mountain.

Its shape was peculiar, resembling a divine bird spreading its wings.

Each of its wings bore a massive stone stele, upon which rays of light flickered.

"Clang—"

Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out from the direction of the giant bird-shaped mountain.

"That should be where the new students are gathering."

Lin Suchou followed the sound, riding his little mare toward the center of the Spirit Academy.

At that moment, four stone platforms, each tens of thousands of feet wide, floated in the air at one location within the Northern Cang Spirit Academy.

On the northern platform, fifty to sixty thousand figures had gathered.

At the very front of the crowd, however, two beautiful figures stood quietly.

One wore a Black Lotus Dress, her three thousand strands of silver hair cascading down more beautifully than the distant waterfalls.

One of her slender hands gripped an ancient Black Longsword, while a pair of fair calves peeked out from beneath her lotus dress.

Like a black lotus quietly blooming in a secluded valley, she exuded a tranquil, reserved aura that shunned liveliness.

The beautiful figure beside her wore a Golden Battle Skirt, her golden hair especially dazzling beneath the sun.

In particular, her exaggeratedly long legs drew countless gazes.

If the girl in the Black Lotus Dress was a secluded lotus, then she was the most dazzling rose in a bustling city, alluring in every way and radiating endless charm.

"Luo Li, do you think he isn't coming after all... If he really doesn't come, I might actually stab him to death with one thrust!"

The golden-haired girl asked the silver-haired girl beside her. Though her words were fierce, her narrow Phoenix Eyes were filled with longing.

"He'll come."

The girl in black merely pursed her lips, her gaze fixed intently on the sky ahead.

"Yeah, Brother Lin told me he went out to gain experience. He should come."

A handsome black-haired youth not far away said with a smile. Three girls stood beside him.

Though they were not as frighteningly perfect as Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, who could score a full hundred, they could still earn a little over eighty.

"Who is this person you keep talking about?"

A girl beside them, somewhat older than the rest and possessing a cold, aloof temperament, asked curiously.

"Hehe, Senior Sister An Ran, you don't know this, but that person is... Hm!? Brother Lin seems to be here!"

Mu Chen was about to explain to the senior sister when his attention was suddenly drawn to the figure on a White Horse racing through the distant sky. He shouted loudly.

Upon hearing him, Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li immediately turned to look ahead.

"Whoosh!"

A tremendous sound of tearing air came from the horizon. In the blink of an eye, the figure arrived above them, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"Who is that? What powerful spiritual energy fluctuations."

"Yeah, especially the White Horse beneath him. So handsome."

"Hehe, he's a renowned Spirit Crown Holder from the Spirit Road."

"Now that he's here, Yang Hong and Shi Jingtian over there must be getting anxious too."

The new students began heatedly discussing the sudden arrival.

At that moment, Lin Suchou looked at the elderly figure in the sky, withdrew his little mare, and cupped his fists. "Lin Suchou reporting in. Senior, I'm not late, am I?"

"Hehe, just in time."

The White-Bearded Old Man maintaining order in the sky smiled. Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, a streak of flowing light shot out and arrived before Lin Suchou.

"This is the Spirit Value Card the dean instructed me to give you."

"Thank you, Elder."

Lin Suchou tucked it into his clothes without even looking, because his attention was entirely drawn to the two beautiful figures on the stone platform below.

The next moment, under the jealous and resentful gazes of all the youths, he landed before Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan.

"Luo Li, Qingxuan, I'm here."

Lin Suchou spoke gently and pulled both beautiful figures into his embrace.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Wen Qingxuan gently raised her hand and patted his back, her tone reproachful.

"Hehe, didn't you say you were going to choose the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy?"

Lin Suchou released the two women and teased Wen Qingxuan, "Looks like you couldn't bear to leave your husband."

"I came here so you could support me. The Eldest Young Lady of the Wen Family has married down to you, so you'd better work hard."

Wen Qingxuan's eyes were slightly red, and she appeared extremely emotional.

Beside her, Luo Li's beautiful eyes were as tender as water as she simply gazed quietly at Lin Suchou.

Lin Suchou returned her gaze just as gently. Everything was left unspoken.

"Brother Lin, you finally made it."

Mu Chen also walked over and bumped fists with Lin Suchou.

"Hehe, I said Brother Mu was extraordinarily talented. You were bound to enter the Northern Cang Spirit Academy."

Lin Suchou smiled, then his gaze was drawn to the three girls nearby.

He knew two of them. One was Hong Ling, and one was Song Yuqing from the Spirit Road. As for the green-dressed girl with the high ponytail, she should be Tang Qian'er from the Northern Spirit Academy.

It seemed Mu Chen was still as charming as ever, having attracted another two girls.

"Hehe, Brother Lin, this is Tang Qian'er from the Northern Spirit Academy. This is my sister, Hong Ling. And the last one is someone you know, Yu Qing."

Noticing Lin Suchou's gaze, Mu Chen introduced them to him one by one.

"Mm, hello."

Lin Suchou greeted them as well.

"Hello."

Hong Ling and Tang Qian'er also sized Lin Suchou up curiously. They had often heard Mu Chen mention this person.

Sure enough, he was handsome and dignified, with formidable cultivation.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mu Chen, Lin Suchou sensed several gazes watching him.

When he turned to look, he saw several former enemies from the Spirit Road on this stone platform.

The Shi Family Brothers and Ge Hai.

They were studying Lin Suchou. When they discovered they could not see through his cultivation, they were utterly shocked.

Lin Suchou, however, saw through their realms at a glance. The Shi Family Brothers were now half a step into the Fusion Heaven Realm, while Ge Hai was at the late stage of the Spirit Soul Realm.

He had not expected that after awakening in the Spirit Road, they had truly awakened outside as Luo Li had said!

Did that mean Ji Xuan had also... Forget it. His cultivation now far surpassed theirs.

If he could kill him once, he could kill him a second time!

Feeling how far below him their cultivation was, Lin Suchou was immensely glad he had chosen to follow Jiu You to the Great Luo Heaven Domain.

Another gaze came from the stone platform opposite them.

Lin Suchou turned his head and saw that person dressed in green robes, with an aloof and arrogant temperament.

It was Yang Hong, who had begged him for mercy in the Spirit Road!
