Finding Yao Lao for an Experiment

Zi Yan ran up to Qin Yu, tilted her chin up, and tried her best to straighten her back.

Although he is still a head shorter than Qin Yu, he has made tremendous progress compared to the little guy he used to be.

Her facial features had also become more defined; her eyes and brows had lost some of their youthful appearance and gained a sharper, more defined look.

But that innate liveliness hasn't changed at all.

"Yes, he has indeed grown a lot."

Qin Yu glanced at her and nodded.

"That's it? Can't you say a few more words?"

Zi Yan stood with her hands on her hips, her lips curling into an uncontrollable smile.

"I have other things to do here. Go and see Yun Yun and the others."

Qin Yu turned around, unfolded the documents in his hand again, and began to read them.

"Sister Yun Yun is practicing the Cloud Dragon Nine Manifestations Dou Technique, and Sister Xiao Yi Xian is breaking through her limits. Who can I turn to for help?!"

Zi Yan stomped her foot and followed behind Qin Yu like a little tail that she couldn't shake off.

"Then you just wait until they finish their cultivation."

"No! Tell me first, do I look good now?"

Zi Yan leaned close to Qin Yu, blinking her bright eyes, and forcefully squeezed her face between him and the document.

Qin Yu sighed helplessly and reached out to push her aside.

"It looks good, alright? Go away, don't bother me while I'm doing my business."

"That's way too perfunctory!"

Zi Yan was clearly not satisfied with the answer, so she moved closer, placed her hands on her knees, bent slightly, and tilted her head to stare intently into Qin Yu's eyes.

Unable to resist her persistent pestering, Qin Yu had no choice but to raise his head and look at her directly.

"It looks much better than before, okay? Can we go now?"

Zi Yan was barely satisfied, let out a snort, straightened up, but still showed no intention of leaving.

She sat down next to Qin Yu and curiously craned her neck to look at what Qin Yu was holding.

What are you looking at?

"The list of Dou Zong from the Black-Corner Region."

"Oh? You're going to fight? Can I come with you?"

"It won't be that fast, just wait and see."

Zi Yan sat listlessly to the side, occasionally glancing down at her suddenly longer legs, a smug smile lingering on her lips.

I've grown taller and bigger, hehehe...

To be honest, Zi Yan does look much better now than before.

His once chubby face has become more defined, and the childishness in his eyes and brows has faded, replaced by a more heroic and sharp look.

However, Qin Yu would not say this to her face.

Otherwise, this girl would probably be out of control.

Zi Yan sat to the side, her hands supporting her chin, her gaze fixed on the lines of Qin Yu's profile, lost in thought, a faint smile still playing on her lips.

"Qin Yu, thank you so much for sucking so much blood from me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately turned around and looked at Zi Yan with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

Zi Yan thought there was something wrong with her face, so she couldn't help but reach out and pinch it.

"You audacious fiend! Get off Zi Yan right now! How could she possibly be so polite?!"

"You son of a bitch..."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's fists clenched instantly.

I finally got a serious talk with Qin Yu, and this is how you treat me?

"Just kidding, it's not like I lack the ability to produce blood. You don't always need pure essence blood, so I can still afford it."

"Ah? So what you gave me wasn't all Qilin Bloodline Essence?"

Zi Yan blinked in confusion. She had always thought she was absorbing the purest and finest Qilin Bloodline Essence! Turns out, it wasn't?!

"Nonsense, at your frequency, if I gave you that high-level essence blood every time, would I even survive?"

Qin Yu poked Zi Yan's head. This girl's true form was Magical Beast; how could she not know the difference between essence blood and ordinary blood?

"You... well, you do have a point."

"Alright, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Qin Yu disappeared from the spot, giving Zi Yan no chance to bargain.

"Hmph, you bad boy, you won't play with me, I'm going to tell Sister Yun Yun on you!"

The Dou Technique Yun Yun practiced was called "Cloud Dragon Nine Manifestations," wasn't it?

Perfect timing! She's also a dragon, so let her lend Yun Yun a hand!

After escaping from Zi Yan, Qin Yu headed towards the Inner Academy dormitory area.

Previously, in the Black-Corner Region, he had only killed Dou Wang and Dou Emperor, and he had no idea how powerful Dou Zong's soul would be.

but...

Isn't there a ready-made soul, Yao Chen? Can we use him to conduct an experiment?

However, when Qin Yu arrived at Xiao Yan's dormitory, he knocked twice, but there was no response from inside.

He then extended his soul power to sense the surroundings and discovered that not only was Xiao Yan absent, but the auras of Xiao Xun'er and Hu Jia were also gone.

The entire dormitory area was deserted, as if everyone had left.

Qin Yu's mind raced, and he headed towards the Pan's Gate's encampment.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the camp, I saw several members of the Pan's Gate gathered together, chatting enthusiastically about something.

"Eh? You're... Senior Qin Yu?"

One of the sharp-eyed members recognized Qin Yu and immediately stood up.

Qin Yu was quite famous at the Jia Nan Academy, especially after the destruction of Demon Flame Valley. Who in the Inner Academy didn't know this senior student who Nine-Star Dou Emperor?

Where is Xiao Yan?

"Sect Master, he had an appointment with Han Xian of the Medicine Gang today to compete in Alchemy. He should still be over there."

"The Medicine Gang? Han Xian?"

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. So Han Xian really did put in charge of the Medicine Gang.

It's a pity that Shen Yuan has already graduated from the academy and returned to his own family, otherwise Qin Yu could have found out the specifics.

Where was the competition held?

The two pointed Qin Yu in a direction, and Qin Yu immediately went there.

Just joining in the fun.

When Qin Yu arrived, the competition had already reached the middle stage, and naturally, Xiao Yan emerged victorious.

After the competition, Xiao Yan was pulled away by Hu Jia, Xiao Xun'er, and others to celebrate, and the group left the training ground in a grand procession.

Qin Yu didn't bother him; he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

Yao Chen will definitely sense his arrival and will bring Xiao Yan over.

Sure enough, around midnight, footsteps sounded outside Qin Yu's door.

"Brother Qin Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"It's alright, sit down."

As soon as Xiao Yan sat down, a phantom figure floated out of his Storage Ring.

Yao Chen stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, looking Qin Yu up and down with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Young friend Qin Yu, have you encountered any difficulties with the Soul Restraint Method?"

Ever since passing on that method to Qin Yu, Yao Chen had been waiting for the other party to come and ask for instruction.

After all, while the Soul Restraint Method isn't exactly a top-tier secret technique, it's perfectly normal for a beginner to encounter a bottleneck.

Like Xiao Yan, he was very curious about Qin Yu's identity.

I had hoped to use the opportunity of instructing him on the Soul Restraint Method to subtly glean some clues from Qin Yu's questions and understanding.

But no matter how long they waited, there was still no response from Qin Yu.

Yao Chen even wondered if there was something wrong with the method he had taught.

But today, Qin Yu took the initiative to come to his door, and his curiosity was immediately aroused.

However, Qin Yu's next words caused the smile on Yao Chen's face to freeze instantly:

"Actually, I came here today just to test myself on a senior, to prepare for my future actions."
