Chapter 005: The Heart of the Spring Water Song

"How?" Gao Chang looked at him strangely, "Do you know him?"

At that moment, however, Diao Zheng suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object slicing through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was striking down towards him!

The flying squirrel is not a native product of the Huaxia nation, but rather originates from the shrub sandy land at the junction of the southwestern country of Wanhua and the western desert country.

Is it her?" Su Jian, who was immersed in a dream, suddenly sat up in shock at a certain moment

However, the qualities acquired as a secret-trained Dragon Blood user from years past still remained, and even with this small flame, Su Jian patiently flicked it with his fingers, striving to chase after the agile figure of the swift flying squirrel.

Suddenly, the purple flame wheel radiated magnificently, and even those who were far behind could feel the intense heat pressing towards them

Immediately following this unpleasant laughter, the owner called out in a sarcastic tone: "I was wondering who this fool was, isn't this that, that person, oh, it's the black-clad lackey who made Junior Sister Luo laugh!"

Thank you for the compliment, teacher! Diao Zheng is indeed mischievous; at this moment, he still cannot discern good from bad and is there happily expressing his gratitude.

"Come on now," Tang Qiu said dismissively, "Is there really anyone forcing you to get close to her? Don't tell me this is just a work obligation."

This blazing purple flame, stirred by his palms, expanded in an instant, taking on the shape of a wheel, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, whirling rapidly without pause, creating an astonishing spectacle

Everyone was captivated and enchanted, yet only one person, after a brief infatuation, felt a surge of indignation!

As the crowd fell silent, Diao Zheng became even more arrogant. With one hand on his waist and the other beckoning Su Jian with his fingers, he rudely shouted: "Hey, that black dog, come over here!"

"I am merely visiting a friend, just visiting a friend. I do not come to your esteemed institution often, do I?" Cao Liang said with a flattering expression, "Young Master Gao, may I ask what troubles you? Perhaps if you share it with me, I might be able to offer some advice or assistance."

In that moment, he truly wanted to run over to Gao Chang and say that he had no interest in Luo Xueqiong, and that he was merely following his superior's orders to complete the task.

This song, with its melodious notes, is singing a little poem; everyone quickly recognizes that this is the most popular tune in the capital recently, as the lyrics are quite fitting, and it is also quite popular in the Lingjiu Academy, where one seeks immortality and enlightenment.

Of course! Tang Qiu shook his head vigorously, squinting and saying, "What hobbies do I, Tang Qiu, have? You already know that. Today, upon seeing you, I realize you are a kindred spirit, my friend!"

However, he quickly suppressed such impulses, for he was no fool. If he were to go and say such things, Gao Chang would definitely not believe him and would think he was trying to deceive him.

Upon hearing such modifications, everyone immediately understood that Su Jian was clearly trying to get close to Luo Xueqiong! In the past, Su Jian would have likely faced either death or serious injury very soon, wouldn't he

Logically speaking, he should be dead by now. However, Gao Chang said somewhat dejectedly, "That Luo Xueqiong must have taken some wrong medicine, as she actually smiled at him and even hummed a tune.

By the way, it must be said, in the long night, Su Jian pondered to himself, "That smile of Luo Xueqiong is indeed quite beautiful! Even that 'hmph' moment has its own charm..."

Upon hearing his words, Su Jian felt a sudden mix of emotions in his heart, both touched and guilty

"How does Miss Luo feel?" As the lingering sound of the song faded, Su Jian looked at Luo Xueqiong with a smile on his face

Gao Chang looked up and immediately said with displeasure: "Cao Liang, so it's you. What, are you here to tease the female students in our college again today?"

Su Jian felt like tears were about to stream down his face as he said, I am not afraid; it is just that I truly cannot win

This was confirmed, as it involved playing with the invading dragon clan, which instinctively instilled a sense of fear in Su Jian

Before his words had finished, he swiftly waved his hands, and immediately the purple flame wheel, which was engulfed in fierce flames, quickly took shape once again

Lost control? Qin Yu coldly looked at him, Is it just a loss of control? Diao Zheng, you are quite capable, if it weren't for the master deploying the 'Flame Hawk', this Purple Flame Wheel of yours would not have been resolved

Su Jian understood immediately. In fact, he was not entirely unaware of the resentment that the teaching assistant Gao Chang had towards him in the Crystal Symbol course. When Su Jian first heard that the prominent student of the academy harbored resentment against him, he was left both amused and bewildered.

"No need for that." Nearly thirty, Qin Yu waved his hand gracefully and turned to the still-dazed Diao Zheng, shouting angrily, "Diao Zheng, it's you again! Do you have any idea that you almost caused a fatal incident just now? You are truly incorrigible!"

He slightly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the coughing sound, only to meet the dissatisfied gaze of Gao Chang directly.

He could not sleep all night, pondering many, many questions

What premise?" Cao Liang asked in confusion.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not hit the flying squirrel in front of him

The scheming Diao Zheng, without flinching or avoiding, swiftly waved both palms, instantly conjuring a surge of intensely blazing purple flames before him

"You must always remember, everyone who is good-looking at Lingjiu Academy is my sister," Gao Chang said unabashedly

It is important to note that, although they are not as narcissistic and extreme as Gao Chang, each of them has their own background, and their thoughts are not significantly different from those of Gao Chang

Although Cao Liang thought this way in his heart, he felt that it was a perfect opportunity for him to take revenge

It is also a coincidence that after so many unsuccessful attempts to catch the swift flying squirrel, this time it was struck by a casual flick, letting out a "squeak" of a cry before falling to the ground.

Hmph! She let out a heavy snort and immediately turned around, sweeping her sleeves as she left

At this moment, the spiritual energy accumulated in the meridians was quite shallow, and the fire spell cast by Su Jian produced flames that were hardly larger than a candle flame

At least, that Luo Xueqiong does not seem as cold and ruthless as the legends suggest. Her sword, known as the "Moon God White Rainbow Sword" and said to be a divine weapon from the snow-capped mountains, also does not appear to be drawn easily to harm others

This series of actions is dazzling and even more unexpected. However, what is even more surprising lies ahead

The Gale Flying Squirrel is a wind-type spirit beast, characterized by a blue wind pattern on its forehead and fleshy wings on its back. Utilizing the power of the wind, it is capable of moving swiftly over short distances. Therefore, the Gale Flying Squirrel is often captured by some advanced training arenas to serve as a target for practicing attack spells

I am like a cloud, you are like snow, from now on, I shall wander in the dream of immortals, never to awaken

At this moment, the majority of the onlookers were filled with envy, and even Tang Qiu looked at Su Jian with great displeasure, feeling that this time he not only lost the initial stake but also tarnished the reputation of winning nine out of ten bets

The sky eagle lands, and the flames of its wings retract, vanishing in an instant.

Haha, don't you even take a look at who you are! Gao Changchuan thought, "A mere servant of the black-clad guards under Lingjiu, and now you've kicked a hard board, haven't you? Clearly, Xue Qiong is angry, and she even huffed once—oh dear!

Although it is a popular tune, Su Jian has already made several modifications to suit the occasion, such as changing the original "Little Stone Pavilion" to "Little Lake Pavilion"

Hearing this sound, Diao Zheng was indeed furious, while Su Jian was genuinely taken aback

Su Jian was both shocked and angry upon seeing this. Fortunately, his agility allowed him to sidestep just in time, narrowly avoiding the fiery blade as it approached.

This person is Gao Chang. As a prominent figure at Lingjiu Academy, Gao Chang has long been coveting this renowned junior sister.

As he took a step forward, he unexpectedly drew closer. Luo Xueqiong recalled the lyrics of the song from earlier, and her expression instantly turned cold

Having come to this realization, Su Jian felt no panic within. He stepped forward, his eyes blazing, and said to Diao Zheng in a deep voice: "Diao Zheng, even if I am the lowly lackey you speak of, I still hold an official position. Think carefully, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

Ah? Cao Liang was taken aback, "Has this fellow eaten the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard? How dare he provoke her? Is this young man still alive now?" Cao Liang looked at Gao Chang with great anticipation

This does not mean that the song is sung beautifully. In fact, it is evident that the song is sung by Su Jian himself, and it is not very professional

The boy sitting in the dark corner finally fully awakened from his slumber after quite a while

On this afternoon with no classes, Su Jian practiced the fire spirit techniques learned in class at the Lingjiu training ground

This song sings of: "Countless rivers and mountains, green upon green, seeking immortals, first encountering a small lakeside pavilion"

Just as he was thinking this, Diao Zheng heard a familiar cough coming from the sidelines. The sound of the cough was not loud, but to Diao Zheng's ears, it was like a thunderclap, and his expression turned extremely unpleasant

Without mentioning the laughter and banter of the two brothers, let us speak of Gao Chang. Out of anger, Gao Chang was the first to leave Yusuhu.

Aren't you, Su Jian, someone who meddles in others' affairs and employs ruthless tactics? Then I shall send you to confront those whom you absolutely cannot offend!

With such thoughts in mind, Diao Zheng's arrogance grew even more rampant. He immediately channeled his spiritual power, forcefully pushing with both hands, intending to unleash the highly destructive purple flame wheel towards Su Jian

"Why are you angry?" Su Jian looked at her receding figure, his face filled with confusion

As he walked back, he felt a surge of anger within him: "How infuriating! This Su Jian, does he not consider his own status? How dare he approach my family's Xue Qiong and even engage in something like singing crystal symbols. Bah! He is merely applying the teachings of the sages to heretical practices. When I return, I must certainly report this to Mr. Chunyu in detail."

At the height of his fighting spirit, Su Jian became even more focused on enhancing his skills. Although he did not seem to display much martial talent for the time being, he seized every opportunity to practice the martial techniques learned in class at the academy's training ground.

He calmed his mind once again, concentrating the power of the fire spirit, and fixed his gaze intently on the darting flying squirrel, determined to strike true with his next move

In an instant, everyone's heart was in their throat

It is no wonder that the Crystal Symbol Technique was originally invented for combat; moreover, with the subsequent occurrence of the Human-Dragon War and the human realm on the brink of extinction, all skills were directed towards military purposes, and the Crystal Symbol Technique was no exception

However, the focus of everyone is completely not here. At this moment, what they are all thinking about is that since the creation of the world by Pangu, who could have imagined that the Crystal Symbol Technique could also record and play songs

Just when the young master Gao felt a sense of satisfaction, he suddenly became furious! He recalled that in the past, whenever he spoke privately with Luo Xueqiong, the other party would often turn and leave without even a grunt.

"Well, it's not someone else," Gao Chang said to the fawning Cao Liang, "isn't it just that little black-clad guard Su Jian who enrolled not long ago?"

Faced with the determined youth, Luo Xueqiong's expression, akin to that of a glacier enduring for millennia, began to gradually thaw

Seeing this, the one controlling from the sidelines, a member of the Gao family, wore a cold smile and unabashedly muttered to himself: "Two fools! The only thing they can do now is to kneel and beg for mercy. That scoundrel Diao Zheng is actually in a difficult position to act. Still thinking of resisting? Heh heh, now you can just wait for death!"

Before this moment, Su Jian felt a certain disdain for Tang Qiu's lewdness and lasciviousness; yet at this moment, he suddenly understood that regardless of Tang Qiu's shortcomings, he truly regarded him as a brother

After this change of thought, most people felt relieved in their hearts, grateful that they had not hastily intervened, otherwise they would likely be the ones facing the furious attacks of the Purple Flame Wheel at this moment

Who is she, so beautiful and so innocent?

Upon reflection, the young man felt quite discouraged and a sense of injustice arose within him. However, after a while, he began to laugh at himself, inwardly mocking, "Am I not being foolish? Must I wait for others to wound me with a sword, to draw blood, before I can consider myself worthy?"

Su Jian is also a clever person and has already noticed that Diao Zheng has developed a desire to withdraw, but he is being pressured by that tall and imposing young master on the sidelines

Upon seeing this, Su Jian suddenly forgot the brotherly bond he had just established, hurriedly jumped aside, turned his face towards the distance, and said leisurely, "Oh, the peach blossoms over there are blooming quite well, I shall go admire them." As he spoke, he quickly ran off into the distance

Su Jian? Cao Liang was immediately taken aback, his body instinctively shuddering.

However, Su Jian thought again, could it be that, like the last time with the fierce person from the Silent Forest, Luo Xueqiong simply felt that Su Jian was not worth her drawing her sword?

"Go to hell!" Su Jian laughed and scolded, "Who wants to be your big brother in this regard? In fact, I have my own difficulties."

That night, Su Jian returned to his residence, lying on the bed before sleeping, resting his arms under his head, gazing at the ceiling, reflecting on the events of the day, and found them quite interesting

In light of this situation, it is not only Diao Zheng himself who is taken aback, but even others, including Su Jian, are also astonished

In a moment of triumph, Diao Zheng was suddenly startled and instinctively jumped to the side. After a loud "bang," he turned his head to see several fist-sized stones crashing down at the spot where he had just been standing

This Diaozheng is truly too arrogant and rude! The other party merely expressed some anger, which was provoked by you, yet you treat it as if others are resisting, and thus feel the need to take action to teach a lesson. This is indeed excessively unreasonable and overbearing

It turns out he is deeply infatuated with Luo Xueqiong. Cao Liangxin thought to himself, "What a ridiculous notion; is that woman someone an ordinary person would dare to approach? Even if you are of high status, it would not be permissible. Only someone of lowly status and ill intentions, like Su Jian, would attempt to strike a rock with an egg."

Provoked by his instigation, the already irate Gao Chang became even more furious. Poor Su Jian was still unaware that he had inadvertently offended such a prominent scion of a powerful family.

With this malicious scheme firmly in mind, Cao Liang immediately fanned the flames alongside Gao Chang, showcasing his eloquence to the fullest. Amidst a flurry of spittle, he managed to make Su Jian feel as if sores were erupting on his head and pus was oozing from his feet

However, Su Jian seemed completely oblivious to the situation, taking a step closer and smiling as he said, "Classmate Luo, you are smiling! You must think that my singing of the Crystal Charm Technique is truly remarkable. So, don't you want to know how I accomplished it?"

Looking at the more than one-inch deep charred mark, Su Jian couldn't help but feel both shocked and angry, and he shouted in a rage: "Diao Zheng, you scoundrel, are you trying to take someone's life?"

All those present who behold this smiling face are utterly captivated; those who harbor any worries or troubles in their hearts find that upon seeing this smile, all their concerns dissipate like ice and snow, no longer existing.

Who could say otherwise! At this moment, Gao Chang finally felt a sense of understanding towards Cao Liang

Staring at the crystal talisman, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly made a surprising move that astonished everyone: she extended her delicate, snow-white hand, took the crystal talisman that Su Jian had handed over, and then casually flicked it into the wind. As the spiritual energy flowed, she had already refined the talisman.

After some thought, he spoke in a deep voice, exuding an unspoken authority: "Diao Zheng, listen carefully. As long as you are at Lingjiu Academy, you need to restrain yourself and get along well with your classmates and junior brothers, do you understand?"

At this moment, Tang Qiu had already paid the price for the gamble, yet he wore a face full of excitement. After seeing Gao Chang walk away, he proudly said to a few people beside him: "Su Jian is my brother, Su Jian is my brother!"

Hmph. Diao Zheng let out a short grunt, falling into a brief silence. In fact, he had already accepted the words of Tang Qiu and Su Jian in his heart.

You! Su Jian was truly enraged this time, and with a swift motion, he drew the Blood Song Sword into his hand. Immediately afterward, his figure moved rapidly, lunging towards the direction where Diao Zheng stood.

Seeing him angry, even a troublesome student like Diao Zheng did not dare to breathe loudly, honestly lowering his head and speaking in a submissive tone: "Mr. Qin, you are right in your admonition, I acknowledge my mistake. I was just trying to test my junior's true abilities, but I got confused for a moment and lost control of the spell."

Seeing this, Su Jian quickly seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "Looking at Classmate Luo's astonished expression, it must be that my singing is exceptionally beautiful and captivating, leaving you enchanted."

Focusing on the Fire Spirit Technique is due to the period of life as a Dragon Blooded. Although most memories and skills have been lost, Su Jian still remembers that he originally practiced the Fire Spirit Technique.

Although he is a young man, Su Jian is still very rational. He is very clear about his current identity and the purpose and mission he holds in Lingjiu Academy

Qin Yu no longer paid him any attention, turned to look at Su Jian, and said: "You are the Su Jian from the Black Guard?"

Witnessing this scene, Su Jian was left dumbfounded. It was only at this moment that he clearly saw that the person who had resolved this immense crisis, with a face like a jade crown and an elegant demeanor, was none other than Qin Yu, the senior instructor of fire system star flow techniques at the Lingqiu Academy

Suddenly, amidst the all-encompassing purple light, a brilliant red flame shot up into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a gigantic fiery eagle soared majestically in midair

"Hmph, it is this Su Jian," Gao Chang said fiercely, "how dare he provoke Luo Xueqiong just now!"

It is indeed so. Gao Chang is so arrogant that it has made Cao Liang quite embarrassed

Tang Qiu hurried over and said in a low voice: "Su Jian, don't be impulsive. I know this person; he is Diao Zheng from the senior class. His family has a bit of a background, but he may have some demands from the Jinghua Gao family, so he is willing to be Gao Chang's follower and lackey"

Indeed, a dandy is a dandy. Although Gao Chang is far superior to the previous Cao Liang, the essence remains the same

Particularly in the third line, Su Jian transformed the vague phrase "Monk like a crane, affection like a chrysanthemum" into "I am like a cloud crane, you are like snow," which, combined with Su Jian's dark robe and blue shirt, and Luo Xueqiong's white dress and snow gown, is quite fitting.

Su Jian also heard Tang Qiu mention that Cao Liang was spreading slander over there, and he thought that Cao Liang would step forward to continue competing with him. However, unexpectedly, today it was another henchman of Gao Chang who came to provoke him.

At this moment, there were still quite a few students in the Lingjiu Martial Arts Arena. Seeing Diao Zheng act this way, nearly everyone shook their heads in silence, thinking to themselves that Diao Zheng was being excessively arrogant.

Do not be deceived by Su Jian's apparent adaptability; even someone as flawed as Tang Qiu can get along with him. Deep down, he is extremely principled and stubborn. Regardless of the number of mysteries, Su Jian remains undaunted; the clouds of doubt in his heart only serve to ignite his fighting spirit even more.

Good! Young Master Gao Chang Gao was immediately cursing in his heart, "Su Jian, you bastard, actually daring to make Fairy Luo 'hmph' at you!

The smile of the Ice and Snow Fairy is like the melting of ancient glaciers, the earth blooms with flowers, the spring breeze sweeps across the snowfields, and the rising sun shines brightly upon the universe

The heartfelt and melodious laughter resonates like strings of bellflowers swaying in the wind, akin to the sweet and melodious chirping of spring warblers. One after another, each sound reverberates throughout the lush green fields and mountains.

The Lingjiu Training Ground is naturally distinct from the typical martial arts schools found in the streets and alleys; even though Su Jian is currently practicing the most basic fire elemental techniques, the Lingjiu Training Ground offers a rare target seldom seen in the civilian realm: the swift flying squirrel

Just you?" Gao Chang looked at him with disdain, thinking to himself that he was merely a nouveau riche from a wealthy family, yet he dared to try to get close to him

It is quite remarkable that, as an enemy, Cao Liang actually harbors a slight sense of admiration for Su Jian in his heart

In his words, he actually elevated Su Jian's behavior to a new height of seizing high-profile women

It is merely a trivial skill. Following that, Gao Chang recounted the matter of the singing crystal talisman.

Diao Zheng has always been a person who relies on his power to act arrogantly, and coupled with his genuine skills, his inherent arrogance is not much different from that of Gao Chang. As he rapidly activated the Purple Flame Wheel, he caught a glimpse of the crowd's reactions from the corner of his eye, which made him even more pleased with himself

However, he thought to himself that he was feeling quite frustrated, and perhaps talking to this young man would not be a bad thing after all

As for Su Jian and the other person, after laughing, the consistently aloof Luo Xueqiong suddenly realized how uncomfortable she felt in such a manner, and immediately reverted to her cold expression

When the advanced Fire Spirit spell cast by Diao Zheng was unleashed, many people's first reaction was to underestimate the strength of this high-ranking sycophant. Diao Zheng was even able to effortlessly unleash the Purple Flame Wheel, showcasing a level of fire magic that was truly unfathomable.

Even the astonishingly extraordinary singing of Jingfu did not truly move Luo Xueqiong, but upon hearing Su Jian's words "shameless," she couldn't help but chuckle, letting out a soft "pfft" of laughter.

If the concept of a "campus beauty" existed at that time, then Luo Xueqiong would undoubtedly be the campus beauty of Lingjiu Academy. In Gao Chang's eyes, looking across the world, even considering the Dragon Clan, there would surely be no one but Luo Xueqiong who would be a worthy match for him in this lifetime

"Hehe, you really dare to resist?" Diao Zheng let out a cold laugh and shouted loudly, "You have quite a lot of guts, but it's just as well you came!"

Thus, one can imagine that when Luo Xueqiong smiled at Su Jianyan, Gao Chang was first taken aback by her beauty, and then his heart was filled with an uncontrollable rage.

With Gao Chang cheering from behind, at that moment, the fierce energy surged up in Diao Zheng again, his eyes gleaming with ferocity as he poured all his spiritual power into the purple flame wheel generated by his palms

As the saying goes, "Cao Liang is not good, and Diao Zheng is not upright," Diao Zheng's character was already lacking. At this moment, filled with anger, he leaped into the arena and shouted, "You little brat, how dare you ignore your Uncle Diao!"

Puff! Before he could react, he heard a muffled sound behind him. Su Jian instinctively turned around and saw that the swift fire slash he had dodged had struck the oak guardrail at the edge of the training ground

Thus, others are unaware, but Gao Chang is very clear about it. Although he is filled with admiration for Luo Xueqiong, deep down he still harbors a sense of lewd playfulness. In his heart, he has already regarded Luo Xueqiong as his own private possession

"Yes, it is." Although he was not truly thinking this in his heart, when facing Qin Yu, Diao Zheng did not dare to utter a single word of dissent

Su Jian can now be almost certain that this beautiful time of being in love with the goddess in his dreams is not merely a youthful fantasy, but something that has truly and genuinely happened to him

He was still unwilling to give up, shaking his hand vigorously and calling out: "Miss Luo, Miss Luo! Don't go, let's study it thoroughly again!"

He thought to himself: "Bah! A bunch of useless fellows, each of them usually thinks of themselves as students of the Lingjiu Academy, pretending to be righteous, looking down on my following of Gao Chang, and now aren't they all just hiding like turtles?"

In that moment, even though Su Jian possessed an extraordinary running speed, it was extremely difficult for him to escape the range enveloped by the purple flame wheel's fiery glow

At this moment, a hint of surprise unexpectedly appeared on Luo Xueqiong's typically cold and serene face

Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard the familiar voice of Tang Qiu: "Senior Diao, one should leave a way out for others. You are also helping someone, do you really have to come in with such lethal intent?"

There was still some doubt, yet I distinctly heard Tang Qiu calling out: "Senior Diao, are you also here for the martial arts practice? But think it over, with my brother and I joining forces, you may not be able to defeat us both. In my opinion, it would be better to let this go."

"Swift Fire Slash!" With a loud shout from Diao Zheng, a bright red, curved blade-shaped flame surged towards Su Jian with great ferocity

However, at this moment, neither the crowd nor Luo Xueqiong focused on such a spring-like sentence. Their attention was drawn to the singing.

It is unclear what exactly transpired during those days deep within the Dragon Realm, and now Su Jian finds himself having to start his training from the most fundamental "Fireball Technique".

Some extremely arrogant scions of noble families even believe that everyone they know exists solely to highlight the grandeur of their own lives. Therefore, the heavens must have created the ethereal beauty of Luo Xueqiong specifically as a bride for him

However, upon further reflection, he realized that he still needed to use Gao Chang to deal with the even more despicable Su Jian, so he temporarily suppressed his anger. Not only that, he also made an effort to adjust the stiffness of his facial muscles, forcing a smile for Gao Chang.

Such individuals often harbor the notion of "I am the protagonist," believing that their arrival in this world means that everyone and everything they encounter should revolve around them

"It cannot be said that I know them well," Cao Liang said with difficulty, "but my younger brother's family is engaged in a small business in the capital, so it is inevitable that we have some dealings with these low-ranking officials of the black-clad guards, hence I have heard a little about them."

"No need." Originally filled with inner turmoil, Su Jian calmed down upon hearing Tang Qiu's words

Thus, Su Jian and Tang Qiu exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and each became fully alert, preparing to risk their lives to withstand Diao Zheng's move.

To speak frankly, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, Su Jian had already passed the voice-changing period, and his voice was quite clear and bright. Gao Chang's remarks about him were entirely distorted out of jealousy.

He suddenly changed color and roared: "Good lad, seeing you like this, are you still unconvinced? Today, Lord Diao will teach you a lesson!"

However, as a stubborn boy with an inherently audacious spirit, this discovery ignited an even greater curiosity within him: what exactly transpired during those days when he, as a Dragon Blooded, ventured deep into the Dragon Realm

Before the words had left her lips, several female students passing nearby immediately turned their heads and shot her disdainful glances

Thus, for thousands of years, only Su Jian, this oddity who does not play by the rules, has had the thought to apply the Crystal Symbol Technique in the pursuit of girls

Moreover, you are even more impressive, daring to provoke that ice beauty at the risk of your life. They say "a word about love is a knife above the head," but what you have is a Moon God White Rainbow Sword above your head. Don't just call each other brothers; you are practically my senior. From now on, I must address you as "Big Brother" and learn from you!

That Diaozheng, after provoking with his words, was already furious when he saw Su Jian completely ignore him; now, witnessing this mediocre fellow actually hit the swift flying squirrel right after his insults, he suddenly felt as if the squirrel's wretched cries were akin to his own lamentations

Because we cannot win against them, Su Jian said

At this moment, Tang Qiu was also practicing his Earth-type "Falling Rock Technique" in the training ground. Seeing this, he laughed heartily and said, "Su Jian, how about I help you crush this detestable flying squirrel instead."

Of course, Gao Chang is a young talent from a prominent family, and how could he not see through the intentions behind Cao Liang's performance just now?

Pah! The noble and elegant Young Master Gao, at this moment, had bloodshot eyes, staring at the two people in front of him, cursing inwardly, "Su Jian, what are you? How dare you speak to my family's Xue Qiong? And what is this singing crystal symbol? Do you think this is some kind of street performance? It is simply an insult to the crystal symbol technique invented by the ancient sages! And beautiful and melodious? Pah! Just listen to your broken duck voice!"

Many thanks to Mr. Qin for his rescue! Su Jian and Tang Qiu both hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and expressing their gratitude.

Sigh. Seeing him like this, Qin Yu was momentarily at a loss.

Therefore, despite being extremely resentful in his heart, he suppressed this anger, maintaining a calm and composed expression, and continued to manipulate the flames, focusing on attacking the swift flying squirrel

What is the relationship between this and that lost blank memory

The crystal talisman, refined in the wind, did not emit any offensive spells or defensive light as everyone had anticipated, but instead suddenly resonated with a melody!

Among the onlookers, Gao Chang was the first to react, and soon most others began to look at Su Jian with envious eyes

However, on the surface, he did not dare to reveal his thoughts and cautiously asked, "This is indeed strange. Given the reputation and temperament of Fairy Luo, coupled with the vast difference in status between the two of them, it is quite unexpected that Su Jian should have survived."

So it is! Upon hearing about the incident that just occurred by the Rain Shelter Lake, Cao Liang was indeed taken aback

The originally arrogant and fierce purple flame, when faced with this blazing fire eagle, suddenly appeared as insignificant as the light of a firefly competing with the brilliance of the sun and moon. The eagle, radiating red light, merely extended its fiery claws and gently grasped, extinguishing the purple flame wheel that was soaring in mid-air.

Tang Qiu? Tang the Fatty? The lecherous Tang Qiu the Fatty? Su Jian could hardly believe his eyes as he saw Tang Qiu standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

It is said that those who can do bad things are all clever individuals. Cao Liang, attentive to sounds, noticed that when Gao Chang was describing this matter, he continuously launched personal attacks against Su Jian, clearly indicating his deep dissatisfaction with Su Jian

Various questions arose in the young man's mind, causing him to sit quietly in a dark corner where the moonlight and starlight could not reach throughout the night

At this moment, Diao Zheng had become somewhat sober and suddenly began to blame himself: "Diao Zheng, oh Diao Zheng, you are starting to act foolishly again. What are you doing? In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of the public, do you really want to take someone's life? You are merely entrusted by Gao Chang to teach Su Jian a lesson; just do it adequately and that will suffice."

At last, the Wheel of Purple Flames had expanded to the size of a grinding disc. Diao Zheng seized the opportune moment, suddenly shouted loudly, and with a powerful push of both hands, sent the Wheel of Purple Flames towards Su Jian and the other person.

However, just as he was concentrating and calming his mind, a long, piercing burst of laughter suddenly echoed from outside the training ground

Unfortunately, the "spilled water cannot be retrieved"; at this moment, the Purple Flame Wheel has already been launched, rushing towards Su Jian's direction with a whistling sound, completely beyond Diao Zheng's control

Upon hearing these words, Su Jian clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging, as if he was about to explode at any moment

"Indeed," Su Jian replied respectfully

In the twilight between dreams and wakefulness, the smile of Luo Xueqiong, resembling a cold plum blossoming on a snow-capped mountain, gradually underwent a transformation, morphing within the youth's somber dream into a peculiar scene: across the mountains and fields, flowers bloomed in abundance, and that stunning girl, with a smile as bright as the full moon, was playfully chasing and frolicking with the youth, her snow-white feet bare amidst the sea of flowers.

Since it is a new dream, are there any more dream scenes?

However, even if someone wanted to speak out against the injustice, they were deterred by Diao Zheng's formidable fire spirit techniques and the backing of Gao Chang, leading them to abandon their protests.

Seeing this, Gao Chang felt somewhat relieved

Cough, cough! Seeing this, Diao Zheng could only let out a bitter laugh, and then he shouted at Su Jian and the other person, "Alright, alright! Are you two putting on a show of deep brotherly affection for me? I, Old Diao, am not falling for this trick. Indeed, I came here today to compete with you!"

He thought to himself, this Su Jian is truly not an ordinary person. Although this singing crystal talisman is merely a minor technique, even though Cao Liang's academic performance is mediocre, with a little effort and thought, he could also create it. However, what is most remarkable is that, since the emergence of crystal talisman techniques over the past thousand years, Su Jian is the first to think in this direction.

Of course! Su Jian was both surprised and delighted, hurriedly grasping Tang Qiu's hand and saying, "I didn't expect Brother Tang to be able to guess the true reason."

I do not wish to discuss this with you!" Gao Chang's expression darkened as he reprimanded, "Cao Liang, I warn you, do not come to tease the girls in our academy without reason; if you must tease, just remember one premise—

Then how did he manage to do it? Cao Liang asked solemnly

In theory, the environment of the academy is relatively pure; aside from the emotionally unstable "killer" like Luo Xueqiong, there are not many dangers. However, what Su Jian did not expect was that even though he did not seek trouble, trouble came looking for him.

The sixteen-year-old boy, lost in thought, gradually slipped into a dream... The gentle ripples of the Rainy Lodge Lake, the peach blossoms by the Deer Call Forest, and that enchanting smile, as lovely as a flower, all drifted into the boy's dreams...

Moreover, this flying squirrel is quite cunning; seeing that Su Jian's skills are lacking, it deliberately does not flee far, instead hopping around less than a yard in front of Su Jian, almost driving him to the brink of frustration

Seeing this, Su Jian and Tang Qiu did not dare to be negligent and immediately dodged to the side, but at that moment, Diao Zheng held back and did not strike, his sharpness shifting with the positions of the two, which was quite terrifying

Where is that beautiful mountain field filled with blooming flowers

"Star Flow Technique!" Suddenly, someone with knowledge shouted, "It is Instructor Qin's 'Blazing Fire Sky Eagle' Star Flow Technique!"

Those with keen eyesight will see the luminous core of the giant flame eagle, where a person is waving their arms, soaring through the sky like a majestic eagle

"Here we go again!" Tang Qiu shouted, "Do you still want to deceive me? By the way, quickly take your hand away!" He forcefully shook off Su Jian's hand and said seriously, "These chubby hands of mine are only for my senior sisters and junior sisters to touch."

Why am I so close to a dragon girl?

"Why did you only run and not attack just now?" Qin Yu asked.

The night is deep, and the moonlight is like water

Seeing that the Su Jian brothers were in imminent danger and unable to escape, just at that critical moment, a deep voice suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had experienced an unprecedented new dream tonight—no, this is not a dream!

In fact, given Cao Liang's extravagant temperament, Gao Chang's treatment of him would lead to a swift departure

Seeing this, the onlookers were all astonished: "The Purple Flame Wheel?"

Upon regaining consciousness, Diao Zheng's mind immediately began to work, and he thought of some polite remarks to smoothly navigate the situation.

As soon as Su Jian heard this, he suddenly looked up and saw a young man at the edge of the field, with crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes, laughing at him insolently.

"Human life?" Diao Zheng sneered, casually remarking, "What is the worth of a lackey's life like yours?"

He glanced around, the room was shrouded in darkness, with only the moonlight from the high sky and the starlight from the celestial dome slanting through the small window, merging into a bright white light before the bed, flowing gently like water.

Seeing his relentless ambition to climb up the ranks, Luo Xueqiong also found it unbearable

Luo Xueqiong gracefully departed, and the crowd that had gathered behind gradually dispersed

"Yes, yes... it is indeed my lack of skill..." Cao Liang was struck at a sensitive point, his face flushed red, and he spoke with great difficulty.

I see... The refined teacher gazed into Su Jian's eyes and slowly said, "Su Jian, please remember: courage may not be invincible, but timidity is of no use at all"

Ha," Su Jian turned around and walked closer, hearing Tang Qiu's words, couldn't help but laugh and said, "So you acknowledge me as a brother now?"

Gao Chang was completely unaware of the concepts of tolerance and tact, and spoke to Cao Liang without any reservations: "Cao Liang, I know all about your little troubles. It's about Qiu Yingxuan, right? You've been stirring up quite a commotion with that girl lately. I heard you even got into a fight with Su Jian on the street, didn't you? They say you didn't win, what a disgrace."

The brilliant purple flame wheel illuminated everything in the training ground; those kind-hearted individuals had already sighed in lament for Su Jian.

This voice was very familiar to Diao Zheng. Surprisingly, upon hearing this voice, even Diao Zheng, who was usually reckless, suddenly felt a sense of fear. Thus, in a moment, he made the decision to retract the highly destructive purple flame wheel.

Indeed, it is truly the sound of singing

Seeing this, recalling the words just spoken, Su Jian raised his sword-like eyebrows and was about to retaliate

Amidst their exclamations, the blazing fire eagle took flight, soaring through the air like an eagle striking the sky, and pounced upon the rampaging purple flame wheel

Seeing him like this, Diao Zheng was even more pleased with himself

The meaning contained within this is something even Cao Liang, this debauched scion known for his numerous misdeeds, can discern

Having resolved this crisis, the enormous fiery wings of the Fire Hawk Star Flow Technique spiraled gracefully in the air, tracing a remarkably elegant red arc before crashing down to the ground

However, even knowing this, there is no way out. Although Diao Zheng left some room in his words, the advanced fire spirit technique "Purple Flame Wheel" in his hands is certainly not a fake.

At this moment, Su Jian was competing with a flying squirrel with great vigor

He chuckled and snorted, saying, "What nonsense!"

Lost in thought, I was suddenly interrupted by a surprising voice from ahead: "Oh, isn't this Young Master Gao? Why the long face? Who is the blind fool that has upset you?"
