Consultation

Xiao Yu, Hu Jia, and the others stood behind Su Qian, their eyes fixed tightly on the stone forest before them. They wondered who would be the first to claim first place in this year's Inner Academy selection!

Hu Jia said softly from the side, "Say, Yu'er, don't you want to visit the Central Plains? I hear it's incredibly prosperous there, and it's a world ruled by the strong. You could broaden your horizons if you went!"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "Quite a few people from the Xiao Clan have gone to the Central Plains. One more or one less wouldn't make any difference. Besides, I don't like competing with others. I'd rather stay at the academy and cultivate in peace!"

Though she said so, a trace of longing occasionally surfaced in Xiao Yu's eyes.

Wu Hao was still as cold as ever. Though his face remained indifferent, the killing intent around him was even more concealed than before. It seemed that his increased strength had allowed him to control the murderous intent within his heart.

In some ways, Wu Hao was somewhat similar to Gu Yao of the Ancient Clan. Gu Yao was known as the Asura Commander by the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army. Countless Soul Clan members and enemies of the Ancient Clan had died by his hand, forging the terrifying killing intent that surrounded him.

Although Wu Hao's strength and killing intent could not compare to Gu Yao's, they followed a similar path of cultivation.

Wu Hao sighed at this moment. "Xiao Yu and the others have been in the Central Plains for quite some time. They must have made a name for themselves by now. Perhaps before long, I'll return to the Central Plains for a look as well!"

Hu Jia glanced at Wu Hao.
