Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as the sun was setting.
The moment Xue Yao and the others stepped through the academy gates, they drew the attention of countless students.
Three months of Soul Hunting had brought about earth-shaking changes in all of them.
Although the wings on Xue Yao's back had been put away without a trace, the faint pressure radiating from him still made everyone wary.
"Senior Xue Yao and the others are back! Their presence feels so powerful!"
"Senior Dugu Yan has gotten so intimidating, too... She feels more than a whole tier stronger than before."

He could sense the hostility radiating from the other boy, but this level of provocation simply wasn't enough to interest
