Boom!

A terrifying aura suddenly swept across the entire sky and earth.

Under this aura, the previously high and mighty white-robed elder suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately after, it was as if he was forced down by an invisible hand, pushed into the ground, compelled to bend over almost to the point of kneeling.

"This, this is..."

Liu Qingyuan felt the aura, and his face instantly showed an expression of disbelief.

This aura, this pressure, he had only seen in one type of strong individual.

Which is at the Ninth Grade peak!

But.... Xu Zhou has reached the Ninth Grade peak?

He remembered that just months ago, the other had only broken through to Seventh Grade, right?

Jiang Lan even covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of incredulity.

What they didn't know was that Xu Zhou had reached the Ninth Grade peak from the early Ninth Grade in less than half a month.

All of this was thanks to the Mixed Element Unity, the constant feedback from his Avatar.

At this moment, the white-robed elder who was nearly kneeling on the ground also showed a face full of shock.

He never imagined that a Ninth Grade peak would appear here.

However, at this moment, the white-robed elder was not scared at all, he hissed, "I am a disciple of Golden Candle Elder from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, if you dare to touch me, Golden Candle Elder will definitely not let you go!"

"Golden Candle?"

Xu Zhou was slightly startled, it seemed like they were destined to meet.

He remembered that the golden-haired elder with whom he had a conflict in the Eight-clawed Dragon Clan territory half a month ago was Golden Candle.

Now that the physical body of the Fierce Dragon God has evolved to the utmost, if he were to meet Golden Candle again, he was confident he could pass through unscathed.

However, considering he was about to head to the Supreme Domain, it was best not to stir up trouble.

On the spot, Xu Zhou looked at the white-robed elder and said coldly, "This school is under my protection, go elsewhere and I will not mind, but here, you are not welcome!"

After saying this, he swung his sleeves, like sweeping garbage, sending the white-robed elder and the horse-faced cultivator out the door together.

"Humph!"

The white-robed elder got up from the ground but did not cause any more trouble. Grabbing the horse-faced cultivator, they left in a disgraceful manner.

He knew it wasn't feasible to actually call upon Golden Candle, such a prominent figure surely had his own important tasks.

After all, he was merely an early Ninth Grade, not considered an important disciple in Golden Candle's eyes.

Right now, he could only swallow this grievance.

...

In the grand hall.

Liu Qingyuan quickly ran up and said, "Xu Zhou, you broke through to the Ninth Grade peak?"

Xu Zhou nodded, "Just broke through."

"Sss~!"

Liu Qingyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, exclaiming, "You always manage to surprise people."

"Just a matter of luck."

Xu Zhou smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Jiang Lan, "Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Jiang Lan's face flushed slightly; she was still held in Xu Zhou's arms.

Xu Zhou also realized this, released her, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, with me here, those people won't dare to return in the future."

"Hmm hmm."

Jiang Lan nodded.

Xu Zhou turned to Liu Qingyuan and asked, "Is my sister okay?"

Liu Qingyuan said, "Rest assured, she is well protected by us, currently in our college."

Xu Zhou nodded slightly, then extended his Divine Thought.

Now, his Spiritual Telekinesis could cover every corner of the school instantly.

Soon, Xu Zhou found Li Ruoxi's location.

"I'll go check on her."

Xu Zhou finished speaking, stepped outside the hall, and his figure disappeared.

Jiang Lan chased after him, looked at the vanished figure outside the hall, her beautiful eyes tinged with loneliness.

She released her tightly clenched hand, the delicate white hand gripping a peace charm.

She had prepared this to give to Xu Zhou, but before she could speak, Xu Zhou had already gone.

Behind her, Liu Qingyuan looked at Jiang Lan standing at the hall door with a longing expression and shook his head slightly.

He sighed inwardly, "Little girl, with someone like him, how could he possibly be someone you could hold onto?"

"However, since she has set her eyes on him, the girl is unlikely to consider anyone else again..."

...

True Martial College.

A stunningly beautiful young girl sat cross-legged on the ground.

She slowly concluded her practice, turned her head looking out the window, her beautiful almond eyes somewhat dazed.

"Ruoxi."

Beside her, a teasing voice sounded, "Thinking about your brother again?"

Li Ruoxi turned her head, looked at her best friend Xu Siyu, shook her head with a smile, "Why would I miss him, I'm just contemplating when I might break through to the Fourth Grade."

Xu Siyu said, "Come on, with your talent, breaking through to Fourth Grade is just..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly saw Li Ruoxi rise abruptly, running towards the window.

Xu Siyu instinctively looked out the window.

She saw a familiar figure standing in the sky not far away.

"She says she doesn't miss him."

Xu Siyu watched Li Ruoxi sprinting towards that figure, her mouth involuntarily smiled.

In the sky.

Xu Zhou saw Li Ruoxi rushing towards him and couldn't help but laugh, "Now you can fly?"

Li Ruoxi flew to him, rolled her eyes, and said, "I'm Third Grade now, of course I can fly."

Hearing this, Xu Zhou gave her a thumbs up, "Really impressive."

If others heard this, they might think it was sarcasm.

But upon hearing it, Li Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Nowhere near as impressive as you, you're almost Ninth Grade, right? Why are you back today?"

She knew Xu Zhou often traveled, and coming back was rare.

Li Ruoxi understood this well; after all, at Xu Zhou's current level, the school couldn't offer much help, staying here would not lead to progress.
