Students were constantly going in and out of the dormitory for the Soul Master class.
It's almost evening now, time for dinner, and even students who have been immersed in their practice will take a short break.
Xu Wei, who had just finished dinner, sat on a large rock to the right of the dormitory entrance, watching the younger students pass by.
Before he knew it, he was already a fourth-year student in the Soul Master class.
The title of "experimental class" has been removed. They successfully completed the experimental mission and became the benchmark for subsequent Soul Master classes.
With the nationwide promotion of Soul Master, the number of students in Soul Master classes has been increasing in recent years.
The dormitory building, which originally housed only about twenty people, now has several hundred more.
The last rays of the setting sun bathed the campus of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, draping it in a golden-red veil.
In the shadows beyond the reach of the setting sun, the Soul Guidance Lamp had already quietly lit up.
A tall and slender figure walked briskly along the wide road within the academy toward the dormitory building for the Soul Master class.
With her stunningly beautiful face and sweet smile, coupled with her graceful figure, this senior student naturally attracted the attention of many students around her.
Even though these younger students are only in their eighties or nineties, in the context of "Love Continent," children of that age are already capable of making "good friends."
" Xu Wei, is Kong Xuan in the dormitory?"
Xu Wei, who was marveling at how fast time flies, heard a voice coming from behind him.
He jumped off the rock and turned around to see a familiar figure.
"Senior Ju Zi, Brother Xuan is in the dorm. Do you want to see him?"
The person who came was Ju Zi. As Xuan Ziwen's disciple, she naturally had a lot of contact with Kong Xuan, and she even knew Kong Xuan's good friends.
Ju Zi nodded. "Yes, I need to talk to him about something. Could you please call him for me?"
Xu Wei immediately said, "Senior, you're too kind. Wait here, I'll go get Brother Xuan right away!"
A short while later, Xu Wei came out of the dormitory building, followed by Kong Xuan.
In the four years that followed, Kong Xuan also underwent significant changes.
At twelve years old, Kong Xuan was tall and slender, already showing signs of youthful vigor.
His skin had a faint, cool white hue, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes were becoming increasingly clear. His Golden Eyes were still dazzling, but they had gained a deeper, more profound quality.
"Your teacher needs to see you. Please come with me."
A charming smile graced Ju Zi's face, making people forget her age.
For example, Kong Xuan always felt that she wasn't facing a senior student in front of Ju Zi at all, but rather a junior student.
Kong Xuan followed in Ju Zi's footsteps, and the two headed towards Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
Kong Xuan turned to Ju Zi beside him and asked, "Senior, do you know why Martial Uncle wanted to see me?"
"The teacher didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, it must be good news."
Ju Zi offered her own analysis, believing that she was quite accurate in judging people's expressions and demeanor.
Kong Xuan thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with any ideas.
Seeing Kong Xuan's thoughtful expression, Ju Zi said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. You'll know soon enough when you see the teacher anyway."
Kong Xuan smiled and nodded, then stopped thinking about the matter he couldn't answer and started chatting with Ju Zi instead.
In truth, it was Ju Zi who took the initiative to become truly familiar with the two.
Although we don't meet often, I still feel very comfortable with Ju Zi; she never lets anything slip by unnecessarily.
However, Kong Xuan also keenly sensed that Ju Zi's actions did not seem to come from her heart, but rather as if she was deliberately trying to get close to him.
Knowing the original plot well, he knew that Ju Zi, a seemingly ordinary immigrant from the Star Luo Empire, was actually working for Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
Then everything behind this becomes clear: it was all Xu Tianran's scheme.
Whether it's Kong Xuan's own talent or Kong Deming behind him, both are things Xu Tianran wants to win over.
Kong Xuan did not show any resistance or other emotions, after all, everything was not yet out in the open, and he would not be so easily won over.
Chatting casually along the way, the two soon arrived at Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
The laboratory's metal door slid open silently.
Xuan Ziwen did not bury himself in the pile of Soul Tool as usual. Instead, he stood with his back to the door in front of a huge soul tool screen.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Kong Xuan.
"They're here!"
Xuan Ziwen's voice was calm, but a barely perceptible hint of excitement shone deep in his eyes.
Ju Zi keenly noticed Xuan Ziwen's unusual behavior; she seemed to have something to say to Kong Xuan alone.
She blinked. "Teacher, I've brought the person to you. I have to go now!"
"Good!"
Xuan Ziwen smiled and nodded. As Ju Zi's teacher, he naturally knew that although his disciple seemed slow to react, he was actually sensible in a way that was heartbreaking.
Ju Zi walked out of the laboratory and closed the metal door, leaving only Kong Xuan and Xuan Ziwen inside.
Xuan Ziwen walked up to Kong Xuan in a few steps, and without keeping him in suspense, said directly, "My teacher asked me to inform you that the time has come and you need to return to the Worship Hall immediately."
After a brief pause, Kong Xuan couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face.
Twelve years have passed since Kong Xuan transmigrated to the Douluo Continent. Ever since his Martial Soul Awakening, he has been plotting, and now this day has finally come.
"I understand, Uncle-Master!"
After leaving those words, Kong Xuan hurriedly left Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
Back in his dormitory, after exchanging a few words with Kong Ling, he activated his Flying Soul Tool and headed straight for the imperial city in the center of Mingdu.
Kong Xuan's figure drew a streak of light in the air. The night wind howled, ruffling his hair, but it couldn't dispel the excitement between his brows.
He landed on the white jade plaza in front of the Worship Hall, and his Flying Soul Tool retracted.
The Worship Hall majestic and solemn in the night, its Sun Moon insignia glowing softly under the starlight.
Kong Xuan, who was already very familiar with the Worship Hall, sped along the way. As the grandson of the Hall Master, he naturally encountered no obstacles along the way.
"Grandfather!"
Kong Xuan's breathing became slightly rapid as he finally saw his grandfather, Kong Deming, in the main hall deep within the Worship Hall.
"I'm back!"
An aged yet deep voice rang out, Kong Deming slowly turned around, revealing a dignified yet kind face.
Kong Xuan stepped forward and asked impatiently, "How is the situation?"
Kong Deming could understand Kong Xuan's eagerness and excitement. After all, this was a plan they had been preparing for four years, and now they had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!
"According to the message sent back by the Star Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power is about to break through to level ten, and he is indeed preparing to run away from home."
