After the trip to the Divine Tree Secret Realm in Qingye City, Su Yuan and Wang Haiping returned to Guangchuan that same day.
There were less than two weeks until the special recruitment at Demon Capital Academy. Having absorbed a lot of Heavenly Sweet Fruit, Su Yuan needed some time to let his state settle and develop further. There was no room for improvement at the moment.
However, his skills could still be enhanced.
Although all currently embedded skills had already been strengthened to the Transformation Realm, Instant Movement was not fully maxed out yet!
Usually, when a skill reached the Perfect Realm, it would undergo various changes. For instance, Steel Flame Finger would cover the entire right hand, Wind Walking would evade long-range attacks, and Elemental Magnetism Pressure would cause levitation...
Who knew what changes would occur when the Soul Skill Instant Movement reached perfection?
Su Yuan directly asked his homeroom teacher, Yang Jun, for a two-week leave. With Wang Haiping having given prior notice, Yang Jun didn''t inquire further and just told Su Yuan to be careful.
Su Yuan then took his Dragon Armor Saber and spent two whole weeks in the Great Barbarian Mountain Area...
May 4th.
At the gate of Four Seasons Garden residential community, Wang Haiping''s beautiful secretary was once again waiting in a car downstairs.
Her pretty face and sexy, mature figure attracted many heated stares from passersby.
Seeing Su Yuan approaching, the secretary slightly bowed and then greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Su, please get in the car."@@@@
"Thanks." Su Sheng walked forward, only to see the rear window slowly roll down.
"Su Yuan, hurry up and get in," Wang Haiping called out.
"Director Wang?" Su Yuan was very surprised. "Why did you come personally?"
Two days ago, Wang Haiping mentioned he had some urgent matters. Su Yuan was to go to Demon Capital alone for the academy''s trial.
So Su Yuan had thought that only this pretty secretary would be seeing him off at the airport. He didn''t expect Wang Haiping to come along too.
"I''m here to see you off."
Su Yuan smiled. "I feel honored."
Once Su Yuan was settled in, Wang Haiping instructed, "Xiao Yu, let''s go."
"Yes, Director!" The secretary responded, driving towards the airport.
Wang Haiping sighed and said, "If it wasn''t for some urgent matters, I wouldn''t let you travel so far alone to Demon Capital... How about I have Xiao Yu go with you?"
"Uh... no need!" Su Yuan quickly declined.
He was not a big shot; he wasn''t used to having a secretary or the like. It would be much more convenient to travel alone.
Just then, a voice came from not far behind Su Yuan.
He turned to see a young man about the same age.
With a square face, bushy eyebrows, big eyes, short hair, and dark red pupils, he stood at about 1.85 meters tall.
Wearing a training vest and combat shorts, his hands were in his pockets, and he didn''t seem very approachable.
"Who are you?" Su Yuan asked while observing him.
Even though Su Yuan was focused on the Dragon Bone, this guy had silently approached without notice — definitely not simple.
Moreover, the guy had his Star Power collected very well, with no leakage at all.
Among everyone Su Yuan had encountered, no one had managed to do so — including Fang Kun, Zhuang Xun, Chen Jiujun, and even Su Yuan himself.
"My name is Xiang Dingqian." The young man stepped beside Su Yuan, scrutinizing the Dragon Bone Gate and casually added, "Just looking is superficial. To comprehend the secrets of our Demon Capital Academy''s Dragon Bone Gate, you need to immerse your spiritual power into the Dragon Skull. Every new student does this annually to temper their spiritual power. You can give it a try."
Judging by his tone, was he a Demon Capital Academy student?
No wonder he approached so silently.
Su Yuan nodded and, with a thought, sent his spiritual power into the distant Dragon Skull.
Instantly, a roar echoed in Su Yuan''s mind, and the surroundings became a blank canvas with only the Dragon Bone Gate remaining in sight.
The Dragon Bone seemed to come alive, with the Dragon Skull turning to face Su Yuan, lowering its gaze.
"Roar!!"
With a mighty roar, an ancient Dragon''s Will charged towards Su Yuan''s Sea of Consciousness.
Su Yuan groaned, shut his eyes tightly, and instinctively unleashed his spiritual power in resistance.
This Dragon''s Will was overwhelming, crushing Su Yuan''s spiritual power and seemingly attempting to overturn Su Yuan''s Sea of Consciousness.
If the Sea of Consciousness were fully exposed to this Dragon''s Will, the consequences would be dire.
"Damn it!"
Su Yuan''s heart sank. He realized he might have been deceived. This person was definitely not a student from the Demon Capital Academy.
However, his timing and appearance were too perfect. He even knew the Dragon Skull''s intricacies...
In any case, being too careless was Su Yuan''s own mistake!
Now was not the time for regret and reflection. Spiritual confrontations were perilous, a single misstep could lead to utter destruction!
Su Yuan had no idea when this Dragon''s Will invading his Sea of Consciousness would cease. With no other options, he could only muster all his spiritual power to resist!
