Two young men stood on the steps below.
One wore light blue robes and waved his arms, his face full of delight.
The other wore white, his expression more restrained, his eyes dark and profound.
"Long time no see. I missed you all so much." Hun Husheng waved back just as enthusiastically.
"Oh, right, I met someone really interesting. This is Mu Chen, the 'Blood Calamity' from the Spirit Road. They say he killed a lot of people.
"Also, he's a Spirit Array Master. Though he's only at the middle phase of the Spirit Soul Realm right now, he has a move that even I find threatening.
"The one beside him is Luo Li. Her grilled meat is delicious—even better than yours."
The young man in white looked at Mu Chen with greater interest.
"The one in white is Hun Yufeng, and the one in blue is Hun Jin," Hun Husheng introduced.
A gentle smile appeared on Hun Yufeng's face. "Come with me. I'll find you a place to stay first."
The group followed Hun Yufeng forward as he spoke while walking.
"Let me introduce you to the basic rules of Northern Heavens Soul Academy.
"Northern Heavens Soul Academy does not assign instructors. Generally, senior students guide freshmen, and the senior students are responsible for explaining much of the basic common knowledge to you."
They arrived before a black gate of light. Hun Yufeng pointed at it and said:
"Northern Heavens Soul Academy is very large, and some areas are far apart, so Gates like these have been set up.
"These Gates only lead to fixed areas. Remember where they connect to, and getting around the academy will be much more convenient."
Hun Yufeng entered the gate of light. The others followed behind him and arrived at an enormous plaza.
