Just as Xiao Qi led the Tianwu Academy group into Liuyun Valley. In a secret room at Tianwu Academy.
Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, his gaze deep, his aura several times stronger than before.
"Li Chuan, how did the thing I asked you to do go?" Xiao Fan asked Li Chuan indifferently.
Li Chuan looked at Xiao Fan and respectfully said, "Fan Ge, please rest assured, I have already arranged people, there will definitely be no problems."
"Good, I hope you don't fail this time, that would make me very disappointed," Xiao Fan said with a gloomy expression.
"I will definitely not fail Fan Ge's expectations." Li Chuan's expression tightened.
"You may leave!" Xiao Fan said to Li Chuan indifferently.
"Yes... Fan Ge!" Li Chuan immediately withdrew.
The secret room returned to silence.
After half a day, Xiao Qi's treasure ship arrived at Liuyun Valley.
At this moment, Liuyun Valley had gathered students and mentors from various Colleges, and the originally desolate Liuyun Valley suddenly burst with life.
The appearance of the Tianwu Academy group immediately attracted countless gazes. There was disdain, awe, and curiosity.
"Zhang Hao! It's you!"
A voice very familiar to Zhang Hao came. Zhang Hao focused his gaze and saw that the person calling him was precisely Murong Fei.
"Crown Prince!"
Zhang Hao shouted happily.
Murong Fei said somewhat displeasedly to Zhang Hao, "Outside, don't call me that. Which family's Crown Prince am I? Suddenly, it's laughable."
Suddenly, Murong Fei looked at Zhang Hao with some surprise and said, "Zhang Hao, you've broken through to Martial King?"
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "That's right, I've broken through to Martial King."
Zhang Hao didn't evade either. However, he still held back slightly. The Gathering Breath Art only showed him as Martial King First Heaven. It didn't show him as Martial King Second Heaven. He just slightly concealed one level of cultivation. Otherwise, if Murong Fei knew he was already Martial King Second Heaven, it would scare him silly. The difficulty of raising one level of cultivation at the Martial King level definitely exceeds raising one rank for a Great Martial Master.
After entering the Inner Courtyard, although one should still be low-key, being too low-key can also attract trouble. However, at this moment, Murong Fei's cultivation seemed to be Great Martial Master Fourth Heaven, yet he could actually enter the Shenlong Secret Realm. This greatly surprised Zhang Hao.
Murong Fei was shocked beyond belief. He himself had just entered the intermediate stage of Great Martial Master. But the other person had already entered Martial King. Was this the gap between a monstrous talent and an ordinary Genius? Murong Fei was utterly devastated by the blow.
"Did you get into the top three of the Grand Competition?" Zhang Hao looked at Murong Fei as if he didn't see the surprise in his eyes.
Murong Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't have that ability. The reason I could participate in the Grand Competition this time is also because my Master fought for a spot for me."
Only through Murong Fei's explanation did Zhang Hao realize. It turned out that Murong Fei was actually taken as a disciple by the Deputy Dean of Changfeng Academy's Outer Courtyard.
Even if he was just the Deputy Dean of Changfeng Academy's Outer Courtyard, while it wasn't easy to secure a spot in the Shenlong Secret Realm for Murong Fei, it wasn't impossible either.
Only then did Zhang Hao realize, and he couldn't help but lament Murong Fei's good fortune. However, he still looked at Murong Fei with some worry and said, "Brother Murong, the Shenlong Secret Realm is very dangerous this time, you must be careful."
Murong Fei said to Zhang Hao with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, I know. This time, my Master also gave me some life-saving methods. Protecting myself is not a problem."
Only then did Zhang Hao feel relieved. As the Dean of Changfeng Academy's Outer Courtyard. That is a powerful figure! Giving Murong Fei some protective methods is entirely possible.
"Oh right, Zhang Hao, have you seen my elder brother? He's in the same College as you," Murong Fei asked Zhang Hao.
"I really haven't! I inquired, but didn't see Brother Longcheng at Tianwu Academy."
Zhang Hao naturally knew that Murong Fei was referring to Murong Longcheng. Back then, the few of them had faced life and death together in the Mist Sea Secret Realm. They had already formed a deep friendship. When Zhang Hao entered Tianwu Academy, he also had Dou Bi inquire about Murong Longcheng's whereabouts, but he never saw him.
"Hmm, the matter in the Mist Sea Secret Realm last time might have stimulated him quite a bit. My cousin once told me that he wanted to gain some experience," Murong Fei said to Zhang Hao.
That resolute face appeared in Zhang Hao's mind.
"Hmm, I also want to see Brother Longcheng. It's been a long time since we had a good drink together. But I have a feeling that the next time I see Brother Longcheng, he might give me a surprise," Zhang Hao said.
"Haha, I think so too," Murong Fei said.
Suddenly, Murong Fei remembered something and looked at Zhang Hao, saying, "Zhang Hao, there's one more thing you need to pay attention to, my little sister has run away from home."
"Are you talking about Xian'er?"
Zhang Hao was a little surprised.
"Yes, three months after you left home, she also left. I still don't know where she went. I think this girl had a pretty good relationship with you, do you have any news?" Murong Fei asked Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How would I have news? This girl has always been unconventional."
"Yeah, the family is frantic. This girl has never traveled far from home, and we don't know where she is now?" Murong Fei sighed deeply.
Zhang Hao saw the anxiety on Murong Fei's face, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Brother Fei, don't worry anymore. Xian'er, that girl, will definitely not suffer. That girl is very shrewd!"
"Hmm! That's true. It would be good if that girl doesn't make others cry out for their parents, it's quite difficult for others to make her suffer," Murong Fei let out a breath.
Just at this moment, everyone from the various Colleges had arrived. This time, participating in the Shenlong Secret Realm, besides Tianba Academy, Changfeng Academy, and Tianwu Academy, Colleges from the entire Northern Region had come. Although these smaller Colleges occupied far fewer spots than the Three Great Academies, added together, it was still a considerable number.
The leader of the Tianba Academy group was still Gu Yunfei.
Zhang Hao would never forget this guy's act of bullying the weak with strength, those three slaps he was given.
It seemed he sensed Zhang Hao's sharp gaze. Gu Long turned to look at Zhang Hao. After seeing that it was Zhang Hao, he let out a cold laugh. Immediately after, upon noticing Zhang Hao's cultivation, Gu Yunfei was slightly surprised. The first time he saw Zhang Hao was only over half a year ago.
In just over half a year, he had continuously crossed two major Realms from Martial Master, reaching the Martial King Realm. This was already beyond description, even for a monstrous talent.
It seemed he noticed the strange look on Gu Yunfei's face. A Black-Clad Youth from Tianba Academy respectfully asked, "Dean, did you encounter someone you know?"
"Hmm, I encountered a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He has challenged this Dean's authority multiple times," A trace of anger flashed across Gu Yunfei's face.
