Chapter 457: Chapter 379: Return to the Country Chapter 457: Chapter 379: Return to the Country Su Yuan hurried southward.
After about thirty or forty minutes, Su Yuan suddenly felt his spiritual connection with the Demon Soul Avatar was severed.
He flipped his hand to take out the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber and saw that the red glow on the blade was significantly dimmer than before.
“Defeated?” Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation. “But it lasted longer than I expected.”
Although the Demon Soul Avatar was already strong enough, it was, after all, facing two Star Envoys.
Sagittarius Ather was one thing, but the other one, Aries Ashley, although she didn’t make many moves, the threat she brought was faintly even greater than Arthur’s.
Even Su Yuan himself was not completely sure of dealing with the two. Let alone a Demon Soul Avatar that only mastered fire element power.
Now, being able to hold out for so long was probably because of the Divine Fire + the immortality trait before the Demon Soul core was broken.
However, the few dozen minutes were already enough. Su Yuan had already fled far away, completely shaking off the two Star Envoys.
Ather had initially intercepted Su Yuan with the help of Ashley’s prediction. At this moment, with the opportunity lost, it was hard to catch up again.
“Saber, how long will it take to recover?” Su Yuan probed his consciousness, communicating with the saber.
With the Demon Soul being defeated, the saber also suffered backlash, and its power had decreased.
At this moment, a faint red glow shimmered on the blade, as if responding to Su Yuan.
“Ten days…”
Su Yuan nodded. Ten days to reshape the avatar was faster than he expected.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
In the Qingming Realm.
“Sister Ao Shan, you’ve been writing for days. What are you doing?” Ruan Ruan looked at Yang Aoshan, who was continuously writing something in her notes and various books, and couldn’t help but ask.
“Some things about barriers.” Yang Aoshan’s hand didn’t stop. She answered while writing, “Planning and suggestions for Barrier Introduction, and making markings and notes on some books.”
“For the master?” Ruan Ruan thought of how Su Yuan had been always looking at these barrier books at Yang Aoshan’s home earlier.
Yang Aoshan nodded and smiled, “Of course.”
“Wow! It looks impressive. I want to see too!” Ruan Ruan eagerly moved closer to take a look.
Yang Aoshan smiled and handed her the notes.
“Comprehensive Guide to Important Concepts in Barriers…”
“Magnification, miniaturization… multiple directions in barrier research…”
“…”
In just a while, Ruan Ruan was dizzy.
“Too complicated, I can’t understand…”
Yang Aoshan laughed, “It is quite complex. So, the path of barriers needs dedicated learning, and setting up barriers is quite mentally taxing, requiring high spiritual power and considerable talent…”
Yang Aoshan showed a thoughtful look, “I hope Su Yuan has some talent in this area.”
Ruan Ruan, half understanding and half not, confidently laughed, “Master will definitely manage it. Master is a genius. None of the students at the academy were better than him.”
“The students at the academy?”
Yang Aoshan was stunned. Even Anthony, who was pondering something not far away, looked over upon hearing this.
Yang Aoshan hastily asked, “Isn’t Su Yuan a master from some mysterious department? How can he be compared to students?”
Ruan Ruan answered without thinking, “Because master just graduated~”
“Just graduated? Then isn’t he like Klaradak!”
Yang Aoshan and Anthony were both shocked.
The Mask of Disguise Su Yuan wore showed a thirty-year-old northern face.
Yang Aoshan never thought Su Yuan was so young. She thought he was around thirty and hence directly called him “Ao Shan.”
If he had just graduated, wouldn’t he be at most 22?
And Anthony, although he had seen Su Yuan as being in his twenties, estimated it to be at least 25.
Given Su Yuan’s style and the astonishing power he displayed, it was not something a freshly graduated student could possess.
Ruan Ruan crossed her arms, proudly saying, “Humph, those guys can’t compare to my master. My master is the genius of geniuses, only 20 years old now!”
“20… 20 years old?!”
Yang Aoshan and Anthony were both stunned. Even though Ruan Ruan was Su Yuan’s beast, both found it hard to believe.
20-year-old Shining Star? And this strong?
Is that possible!
Ruan Ruan continued, “By the way, Sister Ao Shan, you are really lucky. This was the master’s first task! If it were someone else, they might not have been able to do it.”
“First… task?” Yang Aoshan blinked.
“Ruan Ruan, what are you talking to Master Yang about?” At this moment, a silver flash appeared, and Su Yuan suddenly emerged in the Qingming Realm.
“…”
Ruan Ruan’s expression froze, then her eyes rolled as she quickly went over to hug Su Yuan’s arm, giggling, “Master, master!”
Su Yuan had heard Ruan Ruan’s boasting. The girl had almost revealed all his secrets…
Seeing she seemed to plan to “act cute to get by,” Su Yuan reached out and flicked her forehead.
“Ow! Puchi puchi…” Ruan Ruan yelped in pain and immediately covered her brow, rubbing it.
Witnessing this, Yang Aoshan couldn’t help but laugh, rising to greet, “Su Yuan.”
“Master Yang.”
Yang Aoshan asked, “Where have we reached now?”
“We’re at the Great Flame. I came to take you out.”
Yang Aoshan’s face lit up with joy, “We reached the Great Flame already!”
Su Yuan smiled and nodded.
Yang Aoshan was excited, “Good, great!”
Anthony also came over, saying to Su Yuan, “This time, narrowly escaping the chase, I will return the 300,000 Cent Star Stones with interest.”
Su Yuan smiled, “We will discuss it later. I will take her out first.”
“Alright, you go ahead.”
Su Yuan nodded and took Yang Aoshan away first.
A blur before her eyes, Yang Aoshan found herself standing in a busy, bustling corner of a city.
Everywhere she looked, there were Great Flame people with black hair and black eyes.
Yang Aoshan took in the familiar scenery, recognizing it somewhat, but couldn’t help being stunned for a moment.
“The Capitol City… this is the Capitol City…”
Yang Aoshan’s eyes quickly reddened.
Since being watched by the people from Ancient Road Academy and Hardiles City, Yang Aoshan felt returning home was a far-fetched hope.
But she never thought that now she’d actually return and directly arrive at the Capitol City!
And all this was thanks to the man in front of her.
“Su Yuan, thank you…”
Yang Aoshan thanked him, but turning her head, she found Su Yuan next to her had removed his disguise and looked much different.
Black hair and silver eyes, not particularly handsome, but exceptionally delicate, easily inciting a favorable impression.
“Didn’t expect you to be this young?” Yang Aoshan was dazed.
“Not too bad.” Su Yuan smiled, then said, “Though we are at the Great Flame, I still need you to come with me to the Sky Patrol Department.”
Yang Aoshan, in a relaxed and happy mood, nodded, “Okay, you arrange it~”
So, Su Yuan took Yang Aoshan to the Yan Court in the north.
Yan Court, Sky Patrol Department Task Hall.
“Su Yuan!” Seeing Su Yuan and Yang Aoshan coming over, Xu Fengtian, who had been waiting, walked quickly towards them.
After entering the Great Flame border, Su Yuan had contacted Xu Fengtian in advance through the Sky Patrol Black Card and notified him again just now, so Xu Fengtian already knew of Su Yuan’s safe return.
“Xu Envoy.” Su Yuan slightly bowed, then introduced, “This is Master Yang Aoshan. Master Yang, this is Envoy Xu Fengtian of our Sky Patrol Department.”
“Envoy Xu, hello.”
Xu Fengtian looked Yang Aoshan up and down, seeing that she was in great shape, was very pleased.
“Well done, Su Yuan! Let’s talk in the side hall.”
“Fine.”
