Chapter 283: Chapter 224: The Pursuer

...

Yan Xiaobao’s academy life underwent a massive change. Just as he was leaving his courtyard, he noticed someone waiting for him outside. A deep sigh escaped Yan Xiaobao’s lips as he looked at the diminutive figure before him.

Wang Julong’s hair was long, piled atop her head, and under her snow-white skin she wore a striking black robe. As the wind rose, the fabric billowed around her frail silhouette. Yan Xiaobao straightened himself with a jolt of spirit. How could he have thought Wang Julong was a man?

Thinking in this direction, his handsome face turned somber as he began to comprehend how his own sentiments stood in stark opposition to the fateful feelings Rong Ming carried year after year on that same day. Some things were better left unknown.

"Why do you wait for me every single day?" Yan Xiaobao asked with frustration, knowing that as long as she spotted him, he could not escape this neighbor of his. He had tried many times, but somehow, she always managed to find him within seconds.

Eventually, Yan Xiaobao gave up, letting the woman become his pursuer. This shift led to a number of students at the Royal Art Academy resenting Wang Julong, as they all believed she had once hated Yan Xiaobao but was now trying to attract him since he had demonstrated his true potential.

Unlike most people, Wang Julong cared nothing for the chatter of others. She proudly stood at Yan Xiaobao’s side. She rarely spoke, merely observing him in silence, and her piercing gaze always left the white-haired boy feeling somewhat uneasy. This, in turn, made it nearly impossible for him to leave his courtyard, forcing him to lock himself inside, longing for a shred of privacy.

"I need to keep an eye on you," Wang Julong said, her cheeks tinged red. "I can’t let you reveal my secret to anyone."

Yan Xiaobao had posed the same question numerous times, but while her answer never changed, Wang Julong’s attitude shifted over the course of the month. Initially, she had been a proud and aloof figure, but day by day, she softened, until she became the rosy-cheeked girl standing before him now.

As he began walking toward the classroom, another sigh escaped Yan Xiaobao’s lips. It was now time to select another subject for the remaining part of the year. A naive hope surged within Yan Xiaobao’s heart: he could choose a topic Wang Julong hadn’t picked! freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"She will definitely choose the same as you," Lan Feng said in a dry tone, disrupting the joy bubbling up within Yan Xiaobao’s inner mood. When he realized the bird was right, an acidic expression spread across his face. Regardless of what subject he chose, Wang Julong was bound to follow him.

Knowing this, Yan Xiaobao opted to focus on the topic of refining goji berries and ultimately decided to skip all lessons, retreating to his courtyard to cultivate either alone or with his friends.

After reaching Disciple Rank, Yan Xiaobao spent an entire month understanding the changes his body was undergoing.

The first was physical transformation. As previously noted, Yan Xiaobao grew taller and stronger. His features had acquired a subtle masculinity, transforming him from an effeminate boy into a handsome young man.

While these changes seemed profound, they were insignificant compared to what was happening within Yan Xiaobao’s body.

When Yan Xiaobao forced his final strand of Qi out during his battle with Li Cheng, he forcibly advanced into Disciple Rank. His body turned into a sponge, ravenously absorbing essences from the heavens and earth.

This essence no longer required Yan Xiaobao to refine it; instead, it activated itself through cultivation techniques taught by Lan Feng, constantly cycling the essence until it exhibited a pearl-like luster of extraordinary purity.

His meridians sustained minor injuries in the battle, but after weeks of rest and consistent nourishment with Qi, they healed stronger than before.

However, the most significant change was neither in his physical form nor his meridians, but within his Qi Spiral itself. The spiral had grown to more than twice its original size, and roaring sounds could be heard from within.

Not only had the spiral expanded, but it had also begun rotating in the opposite direction to its initial spin. Within the Qi Spiral, a duplicate of Yan Xiaobao’s hands remained locked in the Bird Hand Seal. This replica continuously absorbed and refined Qi at optimal speed, maintaining the same level of purity as manually refined techniques.

If he willingly sat down and cultivated using the same technique, Yan Xiaobao could further accelerate the refinement process. But he no longer needed to worry much because his replica was busy working.

Another major transformation was the expansion of the Qi Caverns within Yan Xiaobao’s Qi Nexus from two to nine. However, seven of these caverns were blocked by a thin misty shield, which Yan Xiaobao could neither break through nor see past.

Staring at the two open caverns, Xu Yue felt a sense of longing. A desire stirred in his heart, but no matter how much Yan Xiaobao contemplated the matter, no answer seemed to alleviate this yearning.

Instead, Yan Xiaobao partnered with Lan Feng to conduct a series of tests to understand the blood-red mist and sky-blue cloud.

When Yan Xiaobao entered combat or faced danger, the red mist would appear. This crimson haze would gradually envelop the Qi vortex surrounding his Qi, granting it an overbearing power and sharpening Yan Xiaobao’s senses.

The Qi affected by the red mist would expand, and the previously pearl-like white glow would develop a faint red tint, seemingly emanating from within.
