350: The power that was touched, the change of the academy

Inside the room, the Elders recovered and looked at the wide-open door.

"How can Xun'er barge in like this? This is where the Elders discuss matters."

An Elder near the door closed it, muttering.

An Elder reminded, "Gu Qian, Xun'er possesses the Seven-Colored Clan Mark; she indeed has the right to participate in the meeting."

Gu Qian was stunned, then looked somewhat chagrined.

"What do we do now? Are we really going to give Xiao Yan a slot?"

"Giving it to Xiao Yan is understandable, but why is Xun'er also speaking up for Lin Xiu?"

"Two slots..."

The Elders present frowned deeply, whispering continuously.

In front of everyone, Tong Xuan sternly said, "Alright, all of you quiet down. As for Xiao Yan's slot, give it to him. No matter what, he is a member of the Xiao Clan. Since he's here, we can't just deny him."

"Elder Tong Xuan, what about Lin Xiu?"

Gu Shan hastily asked.

Tong Xuan, upon hearing this, intertwined his fingers, his expression somewhat troubled.

Creak.

Suddenly, the door opened again.

Beams of light looked at the figure walking in, some surprised.

"Clan Chief."

"Clan Chief."

The Elders present all rose to bow to the middle-aged man.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Elders and landing on Tong Xuan, "Regarding Lin Xiu's slot, give him one."

The Clan Chief is also speaking up for Lin Xiu?

Tong Xuan was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Gu Yuan turned to leave.

At this moment, he heard an inquiry from behind him.

"Clan Chief, Xiao Xuan's tomb is still in the Sky Tomb. If Xiao Yan is allowed to enter..."

An Elder watched Gu Yuan's face.

Gu Yuan's mouth slightly opened, just about to speak, when a voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.

"As for Xiao Xuan's tomb, you all should not harbor any thoughts about it..."

Since this person has spoken, I don't need to waste my breath.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Yuan no longer lingered and left the discussion room... Sunlight shone upon a lush green mountain range. Deep within this mountain range lay a perilous cliff.

At this moment, figures stood upon it.

In the distance, a black dot in the sky gradually enlarged, revealing the figure of a unicorn.

Lin Xiu saw Xiao Yan greet him and responded with a light smile and a few waves.

"Kid, after you enter the Sky Tomb, remember, absolutely do not act recklessly like you did in the Thunder Pool, understand?"

Listening to the voice, Lin Xiu turned his head and saw Mang Tianchi's face filled with a serious expression.

Since the slot was confirmed, he had heard similar warnings from Mang Tianchi more than once.

The Sky Tomb is a mystical space, burying countless ancient powerhouses. Although most of their Souls have vanished, the Sky Tomb's energy grants them their appearance from life, as well as their combat experience.

These energy bodies within the Sky Tomb possess extremely strong offensive power and can even use the Fighting Skills they knew in life.

Mang Tianchi hoped Lin Xiu could seize the opportunity to grow stronger in the Sky Tomb, but he also worried that this young man didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Daring to bathe in the Black Demon Lightning at the Dou Zun Realm—if he hadn't witnessed such a thing with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to imagine it.

"Dean, my son can already buy soy sauce."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Xiu's eyes. The Sky Tomb, he had indeed never entered it.

However, that doesn't hinder his understanding of the situation inside, right?

Mang Tianchi nodded, "If you encounter these two lads, please help me look after them."

He gestured with his eyes towards Lei Hong and Lei Tao.

"I will."

Lin Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse such a minor matter. Originally, the Sky Tomb had nothing to do with him; being able to enter was also thanks to the Dean.

Helping to look after the people of the Lei Clan was no problem.

Mang Tianchi said no more, his gaze fixed on the Void Realm, awaiting the opening of the Sky Tomb's gate.

"Brother Lin..."

Lei Hong leaned closer, just about to speak, when he saw Lin Xiu's brow suddenly furrow.

A sudden sharp pain surged from deep within his mind.

Lin Xiu clutched his forehead with his right hand, gritting his teeth.

"What's wrong?"

Mang Tianchi saw this and asked with concern.

"Dean, I might not be able to take care of them."

After lowering his hand, Lin Xiu's face visibly darkened at an alarming speed.

The pain came suddenly; he didn't react immediately, but in the next instant, he realized it was pain originating from his Soul.

And Lin Xiu had only ever used his Soul once.

That was when he refined the treasure pearl to suppress the poisonous Qi for Yi Nan, he had split off a wisp of his Soul and hidden it within the pearl.

Now, that wisp of Soul Power had been touched!

"What did you say? Explain yourself clearly to this old man."

Mang Tianchi's palm landed on Lin Xiu's shoulder, holding him so he couldn't move.

Lei Hong and Lei Tao stood by, their eyes also filled with concern.

Lin Xiu exhaled, "Dean, something might have happened to Yi Nan. I need to go back! Right now!"

Facing Lin Xiu's serious gaze, Mang Tianchi frowned, "You're in the Ancient World; can you sense what's happening at Canaan Academy?"

"Yi Nan has a wisp of my Soul Power that I left on her."

Lin Xiu replied.

Mang Tianchi showed a flicker of realization but didn't release his grip, "Don't be anxious yet. If something happened at the Academy, Su Qian would contact me."

Dou Qi surged within Lin Xiu's body. Mang Tianchi, with his palm on his shoulder, could clearly sense this movement.

Mang Tianchi continued, "Lin Xiu, I understand your concern for Yi Nan, but you must first understand that strength is the fundamental solution to all problems. It wasn't easy to secure a Sky Tomb slot for you.

Besides, even if you rush back now, it won't be a quick trip. Will you even make it in time?

Instead of panicking, I think you should trust Little Fairy Doctor and Sage Skyfire more."

The surging energy within Lin Xiu's body gradually calmed down.

Mang Tianchi removed his hand and looked at him seriously, "I'll contact Su Qian first."

"Thank you, Dean."

Lin Xiu's tone showed no discernible fluctuation... Northwest Region, Canaan Academy.

In the northwest of the Inner Academy, there was a primeval forest.

Now, at the center of the forest, large areas of trees had vanished, leaving only a pit hole over a thousand meters in diameter, with traces of high-temperature scorching from flames still on the ground.

In mid-air, Little Fairy Doctor held Yi Nan in her arms, the latter's eyes closed, already unconscious.

"Little Fairy Doctor, how is the child? Is she alright?"

Su Qian's angry gaze turned into concern when he looked at Yi Nan.

"She's fine, just unconscious, nothing serious."

Little Fairy Doctor held the child tightly, her face extremely cold, her eyes icy.

Someone actually took advantage of Yi Nan's fondness for playing with Demonic Beasts to target her.

Su Qian, hearing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief, "These guys were actually able to sneak so close to the Academy without a sound; they're truly not simple. Luckily, Sage Skyfire was here, otherwise, they really would have succeeded."

As he spoke, a wave of lingering fear flashed across his face.

If Yi Nan had been taken away, Little Fairy Doctor would surely go mad. The consequences of a Major Achievement Woeful Poison Body going berserk were simply unimaginable.

More importantly, when Lin Xiu returned, what face would he have to meet him?

Figures stood around, each a Dou Zun, their gazes vigilantly sweeping the surroundings.

A spatial fluctuation appeared in front, and everyone immediately took a defensive stance.

"It's me."

Yao Tianhuo's voice came out.

"How is it? Did you catch anyone?"

Little Fairy Doctor, seeing him, asked impatiently, her voice cold and filled with killing intent.

Yao Tianhuo pondered for two seconds, then shook his head, "The other party came prepared. Everyone, let's head back and remain highly vigilant in the coming days."

On the way, he asked Little Fairy Doctor if she could contact Lin Xiu, wanting to ask when Lin Xiu would return.

In fact, Yao Tianhuo was not without any gains. However, he believed this matter required Lin Xiu's decision, which is why he concealed it from Little Fairy Doctor.
