Here, Mu Yang and Sami chatted idly, gaining a superficial understanding of the Superpower Academy. About ten minutes later, Shayeton returned from the direction of the Superpower Academy, with a slender and petite figure following behind him.

With bright eyes and a charming smile, she was graceful and delicate. Her dark green hair just covered her earlobes. It was Meixia, whom he hadn't seen in years.

Meixia was now fifteen years old. Her body had developed, and she had grown significantly taller. Her slender frame now held the appearance of a budding young woman. Upon seeing Mu Yang from afar, a flicker of joy crossed Meixia's eyes, which were like clear pools. She then let out a cheer, her body aglow with a faint green luminescence, and she rushed towards Mu Yang in a whirlwind of emerald green.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what made you come to see me?" Meixia's clear voice echoed in his ears.

Mu Yang caught Meixia, and the soft touch and fresh scent surprised him, making him wonder if the beautiful girl before him was the same Meixia who always followed him around.

She wore a loose black academic robe with long sleeves, a high collar, and the hem split into several pieces like a trench coat. If she had also worn a pair of sunglasses, she would have looked incredibly cool.

But she's really strong! he thought to himself, looking at the girl in front of him.

"I missed you after not seeing you for a few years, so I came to visit."

Meixia giggled and gave Mu Yang a sideways glance, "Who are you kidding? I don't believe you."

"Believe it or not," Mu Yang shrugged.

Meixia hadn't returned home all these years. It was reportedly a rule within the Superpower Academy that students could only graduate and leave if they reached the age limit or achieved a certain level of ability. This was said to be for the protection of beginners and to conceal the academy's location.

Stroking the girl's fluffy dark green hair, Mu Yang turned to Sami and Shayeton and said, "I haven't seen Meixia in a long time. I want to take her out for a bit."

"Feel free," Sami said with a gentle smile, and he and Shayeton departed.

"My mentor knew you were coming, Senior Brother, so she gave me a day off," Meixia said excitedly, holding Mu Yang's hand. Her fair little hand was cool, smooth as jade. "Senior Brother, I haven't seen you in so long. Tell me about things at the sect..."

"Okay!" Mu Yang smiled and agreed, pulling Meixia's hand towards the temporary shelter he had set up.

The surface of the pond rippled, and the water flowed gently. Birds sang and flowers bloomed around them, creating a serene and dreamlike landscape. Mu Yang and Meixia sat on the ground, chatting about the interesting things they had encountered over the years.

When he mentioned that he had come to participate in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament and won the championship, Mu Yang glanced proudly at Meixia. As expected, he saw her looking astonished, which made him feel even more triumphant.

"Senior Brother, you've gotten so powerful in just over three years..." Meixia's eyes sparkled, and she chattered excitedly.

"You bet."

Mu Yang's lips curved slightly. When he was with the innocent girl Meixia, Mu Yang felt more relaxed than ever before. The worries that had been weighing on his heart instantly vanished, and his mood became exceptionally pleasant. At this moment, Saiyans and Frieza all faded away.

"Then I'll participate in the next martial arts tournament too. I'll defeat you then," Meixia said seriously.

"That won't be easy," Mu Yang chuckled, placing his hand on her head. Suddenly, he remembered something and took out a lens-like device from his pocket, handing it to Meixia.

"Meixia, this is for you." It was an Energy Detector.

Except for the matter of the Acceleration Space, he hadn't hidden the discovery of the alien spaceship from Meixia.

Taking the detector, Meixia curiously examined the lens-like object. "Is this the Energy Detector you mentioned earlier, alien technology?"

"Yes, there are only three in the world, so you must keep it safe," Mu Yang said, smiling at her.

"Oh, I know," Meixia said happily. She leaned in as if to peck Mu Yang on the cheek.

Mu Yang was waiting for it, but to his surprise, Meixia hesitated. Seeing Mu Yang's expectant face, she chuckled, and instead of kissing him, she reached out her hand. Her index finger and thumb curved slightly, and with a snap, her index finger flicked Mu Yang on the cheek.

"Cough cough!"

So mischievous! This isn't how the script should go.

In such a beautiful setting, with us being childhood sweethearts, shouldn't she have kissed me first! Touching the spot where Meixia had flicked him, Mu Yang coughed lightly. He wasn't a lolicon! This girl in front of him wasn't a loli anymore! At most, she was just a little young.

But being young was fine; she'd grow up in a few years.

Then he taught Meixia how to use the Energy Detector. The detector used hexadecimal, so Mu Yang had to teach her how to convert hexadecimal to decimal. However, Meixia was very quick-witted and learned it quickly.

After Meixia learned, she eagerly tested it on herself. The displayed reading converted to "41."

"A Battle Power of 41? Why is it so low? Is this considered high or low?" Meixia looked up at Mu Yang with her clear eyes.

Mu Yang smiled, "It's already very good."

A Battle Power of 41 was the energy within Meixia's body. This result was certainly not bad. The source of superpowers was also energy, but this type of energy was more internalized, not purely explosive power. When used, it would have different effects depending on the type of superpower.

But one thing was common: the greater the energy value, the more effective the battle outcome. If Meixia were to use her superpower now, even the current Mu Yang wouldn't be able to break free easily.

"What's your Battle Power, Senior Brother?"

"97!"

"Whoa, there's that much of a difference!"

Meixia looked dejected. She had thought there wouldn't be such a big difference between her and her Senior Brother, but now she didn't even have half his Battle Power. She pouted and playfully pounced on Mu Yang, tackling him onto the grass.

"Don't mess around. Your Battle Power is really quite good. Among the other disciples in Da Qingshan, only twenty or thirty Battle Power has been achieved so far."

"Really?"

"I'm not lying to you."

Grumble grumble~ After a while of playing, a growl came from her stomach.

"I'm hungry," Meixia said, patting her stomach.

"Meixia, I'll let you taste my cooking again today."

"Okay!" Meixia exclaimed happily. Mu Yang was also in a good mood. The two of them felt like they had returned to their childhood, carefree, with a faint warmth surrounding their hearts.

Mu Yang gathered firewood and started a cooking fire, while Meixia brought back some prey. Mu Yang then took charge of cleaning the prey and setting up the grill. Soon, the food, roasted to a golden brown and dripping with oil, was ready. After adding the essential seasonings, the senior sister and junior brother feasted heartily and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Happy times always pass too quickly; time slips by before you know it, and soon it was time to part ways.

When it was time to leave, Meixia was reluctant, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Senior Brother, I have to go back now. You must come visit me often."

"I definitely will."

"If you don't come, I'll be angry," Meixia said, wrinkling her little upturned nose.

"I know," Mu Yang replied, a smile spreading across his face as he looked at her pitiable expression.

After receiving Mu Yang's promise, Meixia reluctantly flew off in the direction of the Academy. Watching Meixia's figure shrink in the distance, Mu Yang lingered in place for a moment, adjusting his mood.

He raised his head and gazed at the clear, flawless sky, his eyes gradually becoming resolute. Then, he took to the air, and with a whoosh, he sped towards the horizon, quickly disappearing into the vast firmament.
