Breaking Through to Four Rings, the White King's Will

At that moment, as Li Moxun sat there and swallowed four pills, his expression remained fairly calm.

Yet a rare sly smile appeared on his face.

Naturally, Li Moxun knew what the four of them were about to go through.

After all, in the original timeline, they had ultimately been beaten black and blue by Wu Zhangkong.

So after finishing the fight, Li Moxun ran at once. Especially since he was strong enough to forcibly injure Wu Zhangkong, he had managed to create an opportunity for himself to escape.

By now, Li Moxun could already imagine the miserable state those people were in.

However, his expression did not change. He sat cross-legged and slowly entered cultivation.

The morning sunlight spilled across the land.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the dormitory, Li Moxun sat quietly in meditation.

His gaze was calm, while the enormous White Dragon lay silently beside him.

One of the White Dragon's eyes was open. There was no excess emotion in those golden pupils, only calm indifference.

But as Li Moxun's strength steadily increased, that placid, emotionless look in the White Dragon's eyes seemed to be changing.

It seemed to be gradually developing emotions of its own.

As Li Moxun opened his eyes, its Golden Pupils blazed fiercely.

The fourth white Spirit Ring slowly descended around Li Moxun, and Erii appeared before him.

Little Erii gently raised her hand.

The confusion and dullness in the miniature Erii's eyes slowly faded, replaced by a flicker of liveliness.

As tiny Erii raised her hand, wisps of white light turned into rays that filled the sky, drifting onto Li Moxun's body.

Meanwhile, the savagery that had flashed through the White Dragon's eyes behind him faded, and its expression became cold and emotionless once more.

Watching Erii's movements and sensing his martial soul, which had been on the verge of losing control, being suppressed again, Li Moxun slowly opened his eyes. His expression returned to calm as well.

"Thank you, little Erii."

"Sigh, I still need to find a way to deal with the White King's will within the White Dragon. As my strength rises, its awakening will only accelerate."

"If I don't resolve it beforehand, it will eventually affect me."

As Li Moxun spoke, he reached out and rubbed little Erii's head.

At present, his two greatest problems were mental power and the White King's will.

Although his mental power was currently increasing quickly, his strength was advancing just as fast.

For a short time, mental power would definitely not pose much of a problem.

But as his strength reached four rings, Li Moxun could easily sense it.

The White King's will was awakening more and more intensely.

After all, from beginning to end, aside from the era ten thousand years ago, Li Moxun had never used any Spirit Ring abilities belonging to the White King in this world.

As a martial soul, the White King had likewise granted him four soul skills.

The power and strangeness of those four soul skills were equally astonishing.

However, because he had been concealing them all this time, he had only treated them as trump cards and did not dare use them lightly.

Yet even so, the White King's will continued to awaken without end, and the degree of its awakening far exceeded Li Moxun's expectations.

It was only because he possessed Erii's template that he could forcibly suppress the White King through Erii's template and Erii's soul spirit.

Otherwise, once he completely lost control, he would be corrupted by the White King.

At that point, an existence from another world would awaken in this world.

That was not something Li Moxun wished to see, much less did he want to become someone else's vessel.

"But how exactly am I supposed to resolve this?"

"To kill the White King's will is, in truth, to kill my own consciousness."

"Because I myself am the White King's vessel."

Li Moxun shook his head as he spoke.

He slowly crouched down and looked at little Erii before him.

Unlike the little Erii of the past, who would only sit there and calmly watch her surroundings, this time little Erii stood up.

With a light tap of her feet, she leaped straight onto Li Moxun's shoulder, then sat down there.

Her tiny eyes were filled with curiosity, especially as she looked at Li Moxun's red pupils.

She seemed to find them familiar. After crawling forward two steps, she sat directly atop Li Moxun's head.

Li Moxun felt no dissatisfaction at her actions.

Instead, he stood up and walked forward two steps with a smile.

He did not even care whether there was anyone around, simply taking little Erii and walking out.

As she looked at the vivid, real world outside, little Erii's eyes seemed filled with endless curiosity.

Her gaze carefully examined her surroundings.

But upon seeing unfamiliar people, she seemed instinctively somewhat timid, perhaps even afraid.

Her figure slowly dissolved, returning to Li Moxun's body.

Li Moxun paused for a second at little Erii's retreat, then slowly stepped forward and returned to the classroom.

At this moment, five people sat upright in the classroom, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

As Li Moxun sat down, the others all looked toward him.

After spending the past half month together, although Tang Wulin and Xie Xie still had significant grievances against Li Moxun, their relationship had grown much more harmonious.

Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan, meanwhile, had long since accepted Li Moxun.

Li Moxun did not care about their gazes at all.

Instead, he sat there silently, watching Wu Zhangkong, whose expression was rather serious.

Seeing Li Moxun arrive, Wu Zhangkong gave a light cough before calmly speaking.

"The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is coming up soon. I told you before that the academy might send you to participate."

"After assessing your strength over this period, the academy has agreed to let you represent Eastsea Academy in this Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."

"You are expected to depart the day after tomorrow. You can make your preparations over the next two days."

"This afternoon's class is canceled, but there will still be a practical combat training class tonight."

After Wu Zhangkong finished speaking, his gaze swept across the students before he stood up.

Hearing that class had been canceled for the day, Xie Xie yawned, with a hint of delight appearing in his eyes.

After all, aside from Li Moxun, who had been confirmed to definitely participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, neither Director Long Hengxu of Eastsea Academy nor Wu Zhangkong had ever explicitly confirmed that they would allow these children to take part.

Only now, on the verge of it beginning, had they revealed the truth.

Li Moxun was not particularly concerned about something he had already known.

He merely stood up, nodded to the others, then turned and left.

Seeing Li Moxun walk out, Wu Zhangkong did not stop him. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and looked toward Tang Wulin beside him.

"Wulin, stay behind. There are some things I need to tell you."

"The rest of you are dismissed."

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Tang Wulin as he spoke.

As the two of them walked out one after the other, Xie Xie was just about to turn around when he discovered that the two girls had also vanished.

At that moment, he was the only one left in the classroom.

Xie Xie's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything.

He merely shook his head helplessly before turning and walking out of the classroom as well.

As they left, the day's lessons came to an end.

First-Year Zero Class suddenly fell silent.
