Time flew like a white steed flashing past a crevice, and the sun and moon flowed like falling blossoms and running water. In the blink of an eye, two years of time had already passed.
Ever since Tang Wulin unlocked her first seal, her forging abilities had gained a tremendous boost once again. Rumors said she could already complete thousand forgings independently.
A week ago, Tang Wulin's soul power cultivation had reached Level 18, making her already the highest in cultivation within Red Mountain Academy aside from Tang Li.
Moreover, because of the Golden Dragon King, Tang Wulin had developed very quickly over these past two years. Now she was already half a head taller than Tang Li, and one could not tell at all that she was a nine-year-old girl.
Developing just as rapidly as her was that golden-backed earth dragon. Without the benefit of the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase its years, all of its various metrics had already reached the level of a millennium soul beast.
The most absurd thing was that the Clear Sky Hammer, which clearly had nothing to do with the concept of a dragon, had been influenced by Tang Wulin as well. The dark gold clear sky hammer inherited from Buddha Tang had now turned pure gold, dotted with partial blood-red patterns.
The entire hammer body was already covered by various dragon patterns and scales, and one could completely no longer recognize the original appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer, yet its quality had also received an immense enhancement.
Na'er, on the other hand, did not have any changes and remained just like she was two years ago. Time seemed to have lost its effect on her, leaving behind no traces.
She was still the youngest child in the family. Over these past two years, Tang Li and Tang Wulin always made some small toys for her and frequently took her to play in various places.
A year ago, Dad Tang Ziran's work focus had already begun to shift toward Donghai City. The situation over there was far more complicated than Aolai City, and this managed to worry away quite a bit of hair for Tang Ziran.
However, with Tang Li, a son blessed with supreme fortune, the big hand of destiny still delivered an opportunity to Tang Ziran.
At present, Tang Ziran and his wife's workshop had already gained a firm foothold in Donghai City, waiting only for Tang Li and the others to graduate from Red Mountain Academy so the whole family could immediately move to Donghai City to live.
Mother Lang Yue had already gone to the house over in Donghai City during this period. The house there had not been renovated before; it was left for Tang Ziran to use for rest when he worked over there.
Lang Yue went ahead to find people for the renovation and tidy up by the way.
As for Tang Li, his change ought to be the greatest.
Although he was now half a head shorter than Tang Wulin, the two of them differed very little in physical fitness. After all, the Golden Dragon King power that Tang Wulin absorbed back then was not necessarily more than Tang Li's.
In terms of soul power, Tang Li's cultivation speed could be called leaving everyone else far behind, throwing Tang Wulin a long way back.
Reaching Level 31 as a soul zun at nine years old, it was hard to find anyone who could compare to him even if one looked across the entire Tianhai Alliance.
Let alone that the high quality of his soul power was simply shocking. Elder Ling's spiritual body had been startled by him when he previously came to check on Tang Li.
Only after learning that Tang Li could acquire immortal spirit qi from the Spirit Pagoda did Elder Ling understand what was going on, and he stated that immortal spirit qi was a good thing, with boosting soul power being merely the most insignificant point.
However, Elder Ling did not tell him what exactly it was useful for, simply letting him try it out himself.
The improvement of spiritual power was not as fast as soul power cultivation, though. When tested previously at the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Li's spiritual power was four hundred points. This was already a very startling number; an average five-ring control system soul wang might just have this exact figure.
As for Tang Li's third soul skill, it was an auxiliary reinforcement-type soul skill named Yun, with the effect of blending the spiritual qi inside the Pot World to use for reinforcing himself or others.
Regarding this, Tang Li had also developed an interesting usage that directly beat Tang Wulin until she had no temper.
Once their soul power cultivation reached Level 10 and they possessed a soul spirit, students of the spirit master class could graduate from Red Mountain Academy. Both Tang Li and Tang Wulin had already fulfilled these conditions, successfully obtaining recommendation letters from Red Mountain Academy to go to an intermediate academy.
With this recommendation letter, they could go to the East Sea Soul Master Academy.
Ordinary students like Na'er did not have such trouble; Tang Ziran had already processed the transfer procedures for her, preparing to take her and Tang Li together to go to school over in Donghai City.
Yet Tang Li discovered that Na'er had been increasingly absent-minded these past few days, and even eating meals was not as joyful as before.
Tang Wulin thought it was because Mother was not home and the food she cooked herself did not suit Na'er's appetite that caused Na'er not to want to eat.
Tang Li initially thought so too, but he could perceive the increasingly intense spiritual power fluctuations on Na'er's body—that sort of spiritual fluctuation seemed to be resisting something.
Looking at it this way, there was only one possibility, which was that Gu Yue, who occupied most of the Silver Dragon King's power, had already discovered Na'er and was preparing to send people to pick Na'er up and leave this place.
Just like this, another few days passed, and Na'er herself stopped the methods of spiritual power confrontation; she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate...
On this day, Na'er recovered her past happy appearance once more. She pulled Tang Li and Tang Wulin's hands, asking them to take her out to look at the beach again.
Under the setting sun, the three of them walked on the sandy shore. Tang Wulin smiled as she shared some interesting anecdotes she encountered during the process of learning forging, and Tang Li occasionally took up the conversation to talk about various difficult problems he faced while learning soul tools.
In the blink of an eye, the setting sun sank and the sky grew dim. Tang Ziran also returned home, telling them that they would be going to Donghai City in two more days.
Tang Wulin was naturally happy, as she had not seen her mother Lang Yue for quite a while...
Late at night, Tang Wulin slept very soundly, unusually not clinging to Tang Li.
Tang Li sat cross-legged on the bed, but he was not meditating and cultivating; his spiritual power was extremely active, and his attention remained focused on Na'er.
Sure enough, when the moonlight was thickest in the wee hours, Na'er opened her eyes. The poignant moonlight outside the window fell upon Na'er's crystal-clear silver hair, the two complementing each other wonderfully.
Na'er climbed down from the bed with light steps, looking as though she did not want to disturb Tang Wulin and Tang Li.
Yet all of this did not escape Tang Li's perception. The moment Na'er walked out the bedroom door, Tang Li directly vaulted out the window.
He knew that with Na'er's strength after recovering her memories, the door at home could not trap her.
Tang Li also did not want to wake Tang Wulin up, knowing that this elder sister of his was extremely emotional. Once she knew Na'er was leaving, she definitely would not agree.
Therefore, only he could follow along alone to say goodbye to Na'er. Come to think of it, staying together all these years still made it somewhat hard to part!
As for whether he would run into those fierce beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Li couldn't be bothered to care about that much anymore.
Thinking up to here, Tang Li quickened his pace, waiting for Na'er at the entrance in advance.
What Tang Li hadn't expected, however, was that Na'er lingered a while longer in the house. After about five minutes or so, she finally cracked space open, directly shuttling through a spatial tunnel to the outside of the door.
Because of the Demon-Sealing Pot's special nature, Na'er could only see through the qi luck concealment left by Elder Ling and that trace of chaotic residual flame, yet she was unable to see through the Demon-Sealing Pot's power. As long as Tang Li wrapped himself in the Demon-Sealing Pot's energy, Na'er could not discover her.
The instant Na'er appeared, Na'er—who had hidden her tracks and believed she hadn't been discovered—found that Tang Li was right at the entrance wearing the Demon-Sealing Pot to wait for her.
The moment she saw Tang Li, Na'er's vision instantly blurred. "Little Li Brother..."
