Dragon Sovereign

Zhang Fan could not help but smile as he watched from the side. Yue Yi was like a little girl when she ate. However, he did not say it out loud. He was afraid that Yue Yi would hurt his pride. After all, it was a habit for one person.    

While Yue Yi was eating, she saw Zhang Fan looking at her from time to time, making her feel extremely embarrassed. Finally, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Fan. "Why are you always looking at me?"    

"Hehe, it's nothing," Zhang Fan waved his hand. "Eat more. Oh, it's been a long time and your partner hasn't been brought over for me to have a look. It doesn't make sense."    

Hearing this, Yue Yi was stunned. She had forgotten about this matter. She then said, "We have already split up."    

"Ah!" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment before he said, "How?"    

"Mm, that's not appropriate, is it?" Yue Yi said.    

"But as a man, you've already lived in the same room as him. Shouldn't you take responsibility?" Zhang Fan asked.    

"We didn't do anything," Yue Yi blushed.    

"You're still a virgin, huh?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh.    

"Yes," Yue Yi's face turned even redder. What else could she say?    

"Haha, me too," Seeing how Yue Yi's face was flushed red, Zhang Fan patted her shoulder in consolation, thinking that she was embarrassed.    

"Is that so?" After listening, Yue Yi's heartbeat quickened as she lowered her head and continued eating, not saying another word.    

After Yue Yi finished her meal, the two of them did not go out in the morning. Instead, they cultivated here for the entire morning. In the afternoon, they walked towards the Soul Elder.    

She was in the middle of concocting pills, so Zhang Fan did not disturb her. He sat to the side, and just as he put down the little magical beast, Zhang Fan rushed out and carried Yang Sixuan to the side. With a loud bang, the furnace exploded again.    

"Are you alright?" Zhang Fanxuan couldn't help but ask as he looked at her.    

"I'm fine …" Yang Sixuan's eyes showed shyness as she shook her head.    

Zhang Fan exhaled, then pulled Yang Sixuan along with him as he stood up and said, "You seemed to be lost in thought just now. It seems like I'm the one who has disturbed you."    

"No …." "It has nothing to do with you." Yang Sixuan shook her head, then looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Have you found the ingredients yet?"    

"Found it," Zhang Fan said with a smile.    

Yang Sixuan couldn't help but deeply glance at Zhang Fan. When Zhang Fan was searching for medicinal ingredients, she had said that she would help Zhang Fan find them, but Zhang Fan had gone to the Lanting Town to look for them himself.    

Moreover, she understood in her heart that if she were to search from Lan Ting Town, she would need to find enough magicite gems. If Zhang Fan was going to hunt in the Magic Beast Forest, he would definitely come very slowly. If her guess was correct, it should be a battlefield of life and death, because that was the fastest place to come from.    

Clearly, Zhang Fan had participated in the battle of life and death.    

"You should start concocting pills." Yang Sixuan forgot Zhang Fan at this moment.    

"You're not going to refine anymore?" Zhang Fan asked. Seeing Yang Sixuan nod her head lightly, he did not show any more politeness and directly sat down. After his gaze landed on the cauldron, his soul power first stabilized it, and then a flame began to rise.    

He only had one chance. He could only succeed and not fail, because if he failed, then he would need to wash up. If that happened, then the gains would not make up for the losses.    

In terms of talent, Zhang Fan was the only one she had ever seen with a high regard. After half a year of improvement, he had directly reached the ninth rank of the General Grade along with drinking water. This speed was absolutely extraordinary.    

An hour later, the rich aroma of the medicinal pills filled the air. Ten minutes later, a red medicinal pill with a rich fragrance was floating in the air.    

"High Grade Four." Yang Sixuan took a deep breath and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. An ordinary pill cauldron could really refine high grade pills. To put it bluntly, it would depend on the spirit control of the person in charge.    

Zhang Fan's control could be considered to be an extremely exquisite existence.    

"Success!" Zhang Fan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy. Then, he carefully put the jade bottle away. When he had fully recovered, he would then be able to directly enter the realm of Martial King.    

"Congratulations." A similar smile appeared on Yang Sixuan's face.    

"Mm, thank you," Zhang Fan said with a smile.    

At this time, Yang Sixuan couldn't help but say, "Right, the freshmen have already entered the recruitment period. It's said that there are many talents amongst the newbies this time around."    

Hearing Yang Sixuan's words, Zhang Fan's expression revealed a slight lament. Unknowingly, so much time had already passed. He slightly clenched his fists. If he didn't work hard, he might really be too late.    

"In addition, the inner courtyard has recently organized a hunting mission for magical beasts. According to the level and quantity of magical crystals, the top three will receive very high rewards." At this moment, Yang Sixuan softly said.    

"Really?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.    

"Yes." Yang Sixuan nodded lightly after hearing that. "Naturally, it is restricted to those below the Emperor level."    

"Then that's not bad!" Zhang Fan sighed. If the people of the Royal Grade also participated, then this competition would lose its balance.    

"What are the specific rules?" Zhang Fan asked.    

"According to the team, the five of us can form a small team." Yang Sixuan said.    

"Mn, not bad." Zhang Fan lightly nodded and exhaled. At this moment, Yang Sixuan continued to say, "The team that obtains first place will participate in the academy's competition that occurs once every three years."    

Zhang Fan was slightly startled as he said, "Academy competition."    

"Yes." Yang Sixuan nodded lightly. "The school competitions of the few great empires. However, Cang Yun will always get first place. I believe that this year is no exception."    

Zhang Fan lightly nodded. "Where are we participating in the academy's competition?"    

"It's the Fire Dance Empire this year!" Yang Sixuan said softly at this moment. Then she said, "Do you want to join?"    

"Why wouldn't I participate?" Zhang Fan asked with a smile. This could also be considered a type of experiential learning.    

"There's no safety in the Beast Hunting Competition. Moreover, the people inside the inner courtyard might fight over the hunting magical crystals of the other party. Many people have lost their lives in the competition." Yang Sixuan explained after pondering for a while.    

"That's good." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Ling Ran's aura appeared as Zhang Fan raised his head to look at Yang Sixuan and said, "I participated."    

"Yes." Yang Sixuan was stunned for a moment and then nodded lightly. She didn't say anything more, but then she thought of something and continued, "That's right, Old Man Qin asked you to come back. Let's go to his place."    

"Is that so?" Zhang Fan lightly nodded his head. "Then why don't you refine some pills?" "I'll go to Old Man Qin's place and take a look."    

"Mn." Yang Sixuan nodded lightly. After watching Zhang Fan's leaving figure disappear into the distance, she sat down in a cross-legged position once more.    

When Zhang Fan arrived at Old Man Qin's place, he discovered Old Man Qin was still sitting leisurely in his room. Upon seeing him, Zhang Fan directly asked, "Teacher, what business do you have with me?"    

"Yes." Old Man Qin nodded slightly and said, "There is something that has happened to a Soul Master in the inner courtyard that needs to leave for a month. I discussed it with Elder Ding and Old Wei and have you temporarily replace him in teaching."    

"Uh, can I?" Zhang Fan's eyes instantly widened. How could he have chosen him?    

"Of course you can." Old Man Qin couldn't help but laugh. "If the disciples of the three of us can't even handle such a small matter, what will we do in the future?"    

Zhang Fan coughed dryly, his expression a little hesitant. Old man Qin glanced at Zhang Fan and said, "I won't let you go for free. The three of us applied for a set of cultivation technique, an Earth Ranked technique. How about it?"    

Zhang Fan stared blankly for a moment before saying, "It only takes a month?"    

"Yes, as long as one month." Old Qin lightly nodded, then continued: "In addition, it will not affect the participation in the Beast Hunting Competition of the inner courtyard."    

"Alright," Zhang Fan rubbed his nose and finally agreed. Finally, he asked, "When do we set off?"    

"We'll set off in two days." Old Man Qin calmly spoke, then continued after a pause: "In order to show how strong our disciples are, you need to teach them three subjects. Refining and soul refining are all yours."    

"Damn!" Zhang Fan widened his eyes. What kind of joke was this? He probably didn't even have the chance to cultivate.    

"You also have some special privileges. For example, the cultivation areas there, every level is free of extortion fees." Old Qin chuckled.    

"Alright then," Zhang Fan nodded his head helplessly.    

"You can come directly to my place in two days." Old Man Qin said before waving his hand. "Alright, you can go now."    

Zhang Fan nodded his head and walked outside. Old Man Qin couldn't help but smile as he watched Zhang Fan's departing back.    

That night, Zhang Fan informed Yue Yi.    

Yue Yi nodded slightly but did not say much.    

Ye Zichen sighed. It seems like I'll have to speak to Xian'er tomorrow.    

After entering the state of cultivation, about two in the morning, Zhang Fan opened his eyes and felt the abundant energy in his body. Zhang Fan took a deep breath and with a flick of his right hand, a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand.    

"Can I make a breakthrough?" Zhang Fan's heart trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, and his eyes blazed. Suppressing the agitation in his heart, he swallowed the pill.    

The moment the Burning Pill entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a warm stream of energy that flowed into his body. Moreover, it carried an indescribable feeling of scorching heat …
