Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy.
The academy stood in the southern district of Heaven Dou City. Its grounds were vast, shaded by leafy trees and dotted with elegant, old-fashioned buildings.
Unlike other noble academies, most of its students wore plain uniforms without fancy adornments. Yet every one of them had bright eyes and an energetic bearing.
Behind Blue Tyrant Academy was a hill.
There, a quiet courtyard nestled away from the bustle.
A stream murmured nearby, flowers bloomed throughout the courtyard, and a faint fragrance hung in the air.
Every plant had been neatly trimmed. Someone had clearly tended the garden with care.
A beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties hummed as she watered the flowers.
She wore a simple black dress, her long hair falling loosely over her shoulders. Though she had made no effort to dress up, her mature grace and shapely figure were hard to look away from.
Time had left almost no trace on her face. If anything, it had only added to her allure.
She was Liu Erlong, the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle.
Ever since Bi Ji had saved her in Star Dou Forest, Liu Erlong had been searching for her.
She had visited the Ye Family of the Nine-Star Begonia and asked others to gather news, but she had never found her savior.
It bothered her. She felt she still owed Bi Ji an enormous debt.
After the Golden Iron Triangle had parted ways more than ten years ago, she had come to Heaven Dou City alone and founded Blue Tyrant Academy herself.
Over the years, Blue Tyrant Academy had grown from a small school for Soul Masters into a sizable advanced Soul Master Academy.
As its headmistress, Liu Erlong was well known throughout Heaven Dou City.
