The two of them examined her and found that Ye Guyi was only somewhat weak at the moment. As long as she recuperated for a few more days, she should be able to get out of bed and move around normally.
Only then did Qian Daoliu and Jing Hongchen feel slightly more at ease.
A few more days passed, and Ye Guyi finally recovered completely.
During this time, spurred on by Ye Guyi's injury, Ye Fan cultivated day and night. Finally, half a month after Ye Guyi was hurt, his soul power rose by one level and reached Rank 27.
Then, on a certain day half a month later, while Ye Fan was accompanying Ye Guyi through recovery training, they ran into Ma Rulong again in Mingde Hall.
This time, Ma Rulong seemed exceptionally calm. From him, Ye Fan learned that he had already applied to withdraw from Class 1 of the third year and enter Mingde Hall directly to study.
As for Wang Shaojie, Zi Mu, and the others, they had also withdrawn from Class 1 of the third year and entered ordinary classes.
By the time Ye Fan and Ye Guyi returned to Class 1 of the third year a month later, it was almost time for the monthly exam again.
This time, without Ma Rulong suppressing him, Ye Fan relied on himself alone and once again took first place in the class.
During this period, because Ye Guyi had been injured, there had never been time to carry out the matter of introducing Ji Juechen to Qian Daoliu.
After Ye Guyi had fully recovered, Ye Fan finally had time to introduce Ji Juechen to Qian Daoliu.
The moment Qian Daoliu saw Ji Juechen, he was drawn in by the man's pure sword intent, and with one glance he could tell that Ji Juechen was a rare sword-practicing prodigy.
Before Ye Fan could even make his request, Qian Daoliu spoke first and asked Ji Juechen, "Ji Juechen, I am Qian Daoliu. Are you willing to take me as your master?"
Hearing this, Ji Juechen's eyes filled with excitement, but out of respect for Ye Fan, he still turned to ask Ye Fan for his opinion.
Ye Fan was quite satisfied with this. Who said this Ji Juechen doesn't understand worldly ways?
Isn't he perfectly good at respecting people?
Unsurprisingly, Ye Fan said directly to Ji Juechen, "Brother Ji, this is the opportunity I told you about."
"My grandfather, Qian Daoliu, is a Rank 99 Limit Douluo."
"He is also a peerless sword expert."
After hearing this, Ji Juechen's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu. "Disciple Ji Juechen greets Teacher."
"Mm!"
"This is my Angel Clan's god-level Meditation Technique. Memorize it here and now, cultivate it every day, and it will help improve your soul power and spiritual power. Remember, you must not pass it on to outsiders."
And just like that, Ji Juechen became Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's junior disciple brother.
As for Jing Ziyan, Ye Fan had Qian Daoliu speak to Jing Hongchen about her.
Only then did Jing Hongchen reluctantly accept her as a nominal disciple.
That also counted as making her Ye Fan and Ye Guyi's junior disciple sister.
These were all interludes.
In the following two months, Ye Guyi's body grew better and better.
When Ye Guyi saw Ye Fan cultivating day and night, she refused to fall behind.
The two chased after each other, and finally, before the midterm break, both of them reached their cultivation bottlenecks.
Ye Fan reached Rank 30, while Ye Guyi reached Rank 40.
Stimulated by Ye Fan and Ye Guyi, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also cultivated madly day and night.
They, too, both reached their cultivation bottlenecks at Rank 40.
In fact, driven by Ye Fan, this young genius, all of Class 1 of the third year became immersed in studying and cultivation.
Their homeroom teacher, Lin Jiayi, had still been worried that Ye Fan and Ye Guyi missing a month of class would affect their learning progress. In the end, he saw that not only had Ye Fan and Ye Guyi's cultivation not fallen behind, they were far ahead, while also leading the class to improve rapidly. He was so delighted that he could not stop smiling.
Ye Fan and Ye Guyi's midterm break in the third year.
Inside Mingde Hall.
Qian Daoliu, Jing Hongchen, Ye Fan, Ye Guyi, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, and Jing Ziyan gathered together.
Jing Hongchen spoke first. "Little Fan, your teacher's Monitoring Satellite has already been completed!"
"And it just so happens that all of you have reached your cultivation bottlenecks."
"Your teacher will take you to Sunset Forest. We'll hunt for soul rings while searching for the secret realm you mentioned."
"Mm!"
Hearing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth.
The heavy stone weighing on his heart finally dropped slightly.
Finally, Jing Hongchen said something else to Qian Daoliu.
Then he took Flight Soul Tools out of his soul tool, one for each person.
And they gave Ye Fan, Ye Guyi, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, and Jing Ziyan one Class 9 soul tool each.
When Qian Daoliu received the Flight Soul Tool, he was also slightly surprised.
He kept looking it up and down, but did not find anything remarkable about it.
"Everyone, follow along and learn from me. Pour your soul power into the Flight Soul Tool."
Jing Hongchen saw that Qian Daoliu was quite curious about the Flight Soul Tool.
So Jing Hongchen became an instructor on the spot.
Later, under Jing Hongchen's guidance, everyone present learned how to use the Flight Soul Tool.
Qian Daoliu, in particular, could hardly bear to put the Flight Soul Tool down. "Good stuff!"
"With this thing, we'll be able to form an angel army later."
Qian Daoliu thought this to himself.
Once everyone was ready, Jing Hongchen waved his hand and led the group flying out of Mingde Hall, passing through Sun Moon Academy and Ming Capital before leaving the Sun Moon Empire.
Afterward, they crossed the Mingdou Mountain Range, drove straight into the Heaven Dou Empire, and finally arrived at Sunset Forest.
According to what Ye Fan had said, they came to Sunset Forest.
Qian Daoliu paired up with Jing Hongchen.
One used high-altitude flying satellite surveillance to monitor the entire Sunset Forest.
He marked out all the miasma zones throughout the forest.
The other, Qian Daoliu, led everyone to investigate them one by one.
In the end, after Qian Daoliu and Jing Hongchen worked together day and night in near-perfect coordination for almost half a month, the two of them finally locked onto one miasma-covered area.
But the next problem was rather thorny.
The miasma before them was terrifyingly poisonous.
The moment the group approached, they felt their soul power being dissolved and corroded by the miasma.
If they really entered it, everyone present except Qian Daoliu would probably turn into bloody sludge.
Yet Ye Fan was not panicked in the slightest.
Ye Fan released his Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and an ultimate aura of life bloomed from it, enveloping everyone.
Ye Fan then escorted the group into the miasma.
The extremely pure curtain of life steadily isolated the deadly poison, and Ye Fan led everyone step by step into the depths of the miasma.
Completely different from the barren, deathly world of miasma outside, the secret realm within was brimming with life. Towering ancient trees blotted out the sky, rare flowers and exotic grasses grew everywhere, and the spiritual energy was so dense it had almost become tangible.
Everyone's eyes were filled with amazement and envy, intoxicated by this wondrous scene like a paradise beyond the world.
Only Ye Fan, relying on the ultimate perception of his Six-Winged Angel martial soul, pierced through layer after layer of vegetation and locked onto the core of the secret realm first. At a glance, he saw the Ice and Fire Cold Pool he had been longing for, where two-colored springs of cold and flame intertwined and flowed, surrounded by countless rare, peerless immortal herbs that shone brilliantly.
"Grandpa, teacher, look! Those are immortal herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Ye Fan pointed at the distant immortal herbs overflowing with vitality and said to Qian Daoliu and Jing Hongchen.
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu and Jing Hongchen both focused their attention and looked in the direction Ye Fan was pointing.
Sure enough, what entered their eyes were those strange, vibrant immortal herbs.
"So these are immortal herbs! Nature really is miraculous."
Jing Hongchen and Qian Daoliu could not help but want to go to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and carefully examine these immortal herbs.
"Who are you to trespass into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
A clear, melodious voice exploded beside everyone's ears.
