After leaving the Heaven Dou Arena, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling walked side by side down the bustling street. They slowed their pace, leisurely strolling through the crowds.
Heaven Dou City, as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, was incredibly vibrant. Even though it was afternoon, the streets were still teeming with people, and some nobles could even be seen heading to the Heaven Dou Arena.
Perhaps with Cheng Xiao's company, Ye Lingling became much more lively after leaving the arena, no longer as aloof as before.
Passing by stalls, Ye Lingling would always recommend delicious food and fun activities to Cheng Xiao, and the two were quite happy.
The girl's light, melodious laughter made the sweltering weather feel a bit cooler.
"Cheng Xiao, thank you for spending time with me today," Ye Lingling suddenly turned around, her bright eyes looking at him with a sweet smile.
"Aren't we friends?" Cheng Xiao smiled and said.
"Friend…" Ye Lingling paused slightly, then smiled knowingly, and said, "Since we're friends, why don't you accompany me for a while longer?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao nodded with a smile, and once again strolled around Tian Dou City with the girl.
The two walked leisurely, and when they got tired, they would casually find a beverage shop to sit down, drink cold drinks, and chat about some interesting things in life, quite enjoying themselves.
Looking at the endless stream of people outside the window, Cheng Xiao keenly noticed something. His gaze shifted slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old man in white robes hidden in the crowd, staring intently at him.
Seemingly noticing Cheng Xiao's gaze, the old man in white robes turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
"Heh, it's him." Retracting his gaze, Cheng Xiao knew the man's identity, but to ensure Ye Lingling's safety, he still did not intend to tell him.
"Lingling, I'm going to buy some snacks. Wait for me here." Cheng Xiao said, then got up and left the beverage shop.
"Huh?" Ye Lingling hadn't reacted yet. When she got up to look, Cheng Xiao's figure had already disappeared.
For some reason, her eyelids twitched, and deep down, she vaguely sensed that something was about to happen.
After leaving the beverage shop, Cheng Xiao chose a secluded alley. As he entered the alley, two dark figures darted out from his shadow and disappeared into the shadows hidden by the walls.
As expected, Cheng Xiao walked for quite a while without coming out, as if the alley had no end.
"You're already here, aren't you coming out?" He paused, his gaze slightly narrowed, and a deep voice came from his mouth, causing the surrounding air to ripple slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air suddenly became quiet. All the sounds that should have been on the street disappeared at this moment, and the whole world became quiet.
Immediately afterward, a phantom figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, slowly becoming clearer.
"As expected of the strongest student in this year's class, your vigilance is exceptionally high. It's just a pity, it's all too late now."
The speaker was an old man in white robes, wearing a moon-white Soul Master's robe, with the words "Canghui" embroidered within a blue ring on his shoulder.
Hearing the old man's voice, Cheng Xiao slowly turned around, his gaze calmly fixed on the old man, and said indifferently, "I don't seem to have any grudge against your Canghui Academy, do I? Aren't you afraid of inviting death in return by coming to me like this?"
"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, the old man burst into laughter, his voice seeming to come from the depths of hell, saying, "We indeed have no grudge, but you will still die."
"Blame your strength for being too strong, hindering our Canghui Academy's path to the championship!"
"Now, as long as we kill you, and then kill the genius Soul Masters of the other Soul Master academies, who else can stop our Canghui Academy from winning the championship?"
"Oh? If you're so confident, you must be very powerful, right?" Cheng Xiao suddenly said.
"Heh, whether I'm confident or not, whether I'm powerful or not, you'll find out soon enough." A cold glint appeared on Shi Nian's lips as he said, "Kid, I must say your observation skills are really sharp. This place, you lured me here,
didn't you?" As he spoke, Shi Nian deliberately glanced around. "That's right, I did deliberately lure you here." Cheng Xiao smiled calmly, shadowy energy surging from his palm. "If I didn't find a secluded place, how else would I kill you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao waved his hand, and dozens of shadowy swords condensed into sword shapes. Then, with a wave of his hand, they rained down on
Shi Nian. But just as the shadowy swords pierced through Shi Nian, the surrounding scenery became hazy. Then, under Cheng Xiao's calm gaze, everything around him became clear, and he was now in a desolate wilderness.
The shadowy swords, formed from shadowy power, passed directly through Shi Nian's body, yet the latter was completely unharmed.
"This is in my illusion, and you think you can kill me?" Shi Nian revealed a sinister smile and said rather mockingly, "I admit you are strong, but if we really fought, I might not be your match."
"Unfortunately, everything you see now is an illusion I created. In my environment, let alone a Soul King like you, even someone with a higher soul power level than me can't harm me."
"Unless..."
"Unless what?" Cheng Xiao's eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at Shi Nian. Shi
Nian didn't answer Cheng Xiao's question, but his expression turned ferocious, and the seventh soul ring on his body shone brightly.
The next second, the surrounding scenery changed again, and Cheng Xiao was surprised to find that he was not in the grove of trees, but in the room he had been in before his transmigration. In the
dimly lit room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and not a single ray of sunlight penetrated.
On the study desk in front of the window, there were all kinds of books, no novels, no classics, only various exercise books, test papers, and exercises.
"Cheng Xiao, how old are you?!"
"You're already a senior in high school. Do I have to force you to study?"
"Look at Aunt Wang's son next door. Learn from him and stop hanging out with those shady classmates. What kind of future will you have if you hang out with them?"
"If you don't get into a good university, how will you get a good job? Without a good job, how will you marry a good wife? Do you want to just drift through life like this?"
The harsh sarcasm continued, but Cheng Xiao's face remained calm. He had heard these words countless times since childhood. No matter if he got top marks in school or not, he could never meet his family's expectations, as if his very existence was a mistake.
Sitting at his desk, he seemed to have long been their dumping ground for their frustrations.
Then, the scene before him changed again.
What appeared before Cheng Xiao stirred a slight emotion within him.
On a snowy winter night, a pale-faced child wearing a scarf sat on the threshold of a rural house. From inside, harsh, angry curses echoed, followed by the sounds of things breaking.
A moment later, a woman in a down jacket emerged, cursing loudly. She glanced at the child sitting on the threshold, head bowed, and her anger flared. She grabbed the child's arm, pointing her finger at him and yelling, "Didn't I tell you to study? Why can't you listen after just a short while?"
"I told you not to come to this wretched place, but you insisted! You'll end up like your dead father, a good-for-nothing!"
It was Lunar New Year's Eve.
Looking at the angry woman, Cheng Xiao's lips tightened, his hands clenched.
The scene shifted again, the blinding sunlight making it difficult to open one's eyes.
A middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Cheng Xiao walked up to him, or rather, to the child.
"Xiaoxiao, Dad believes in you. Not doing well in school now doesn't mean you'll do poorly in the future. Don't blame your mother; she just loves you too much."
The middle-aged man patted the child's head, revealing what he thought was a very hearty smile. "What kind of son do I not know?"
Looking at the scene before him, Cheng Xiao's eyes welled up slightly. His clenched fists tightened, and his body trembled uncontrollably. An overwhelming sense of oppression made it hard for him to breathe.
The next second, the scene before Cheng Xiao shifted again.
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap echoed through the sky, and torrential rain poured down. On the bustling streets, blood was washed away by the rain, and car horns blared like piercing wails incessantly in Cheng Xiao's ears.
A child in a school uniform knelt beside a man lying in a pool of blood, crying helplessly. Countless people around, holding umbrellas, silently watched this scene.
A strange crimson glint appeared in Cheng Xiao's eyes. His fists clenched, and the suppressed emotions in his heart made his breathing heavy. His gaze was fixed on the man lying in a pool of blood in the rain, veins bulging on his forehead.
The next moment, a furious roar like that of a wild beast rang out.
"Shi Nian! You son of a bitch!"
