C.828: Nana and Mister Le coming at the same time?
TL : BluVerse
Elder Shu waved his hand and said, “Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Your life is equally important, and when there’s danger, don’t hesitate. Especially if you’re using the Emerald Demon Warship, no one can transmit any message out.
Lan Xuanyu’s heart trembled; he naturally understood Elder Shu’s meaning. The gentle old man’s tone carried a hint of killing intent. Lan Xuanyu himself was not a saint.
The spacecraft slowly landed at the Shrek City Space Center. In the past year, this was Lan Xuanyu’s first time leaving and returning. However, no matter where he went, he felt that nothing could compare to the feeling at the academy.
Once he entered the Inner Court after the exam, even if he had a vacation for a period of time, he probably wouldn’t want to leave this place.
By that time, he wondered if his father had completed another exploration mission and returned, so he could bring them to Shrek City for a while.
Lan Xuanyu had heard long ago that disciples in the Inner Court of Shrek Academy would be allocated a quota for purchasing property within Shrek City, so he could have his own property in the city.
Thinking of his parents, he couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. He had already asked about his bloodline issue.
Nan Cheng told him that even as his mother, she had no idea what was going on and didn’t understand why Lan Xuanyu awakened such a martial soul. Regarding his mother’s ignorance on the matter, Lan Xuanyu could only sigh. But using his spiritual power, when he asked, he could feel the tension in his mother’s spirit. He didn’t ask his father again; besides the possibility of hidden secrets, even if there were, what could he do if his parents didn’t want to tell him? He believed that his parents would never harm him; if they didn’t want to say, they must have their reasons.
He should focus on becoming stronger. That’s what Lan Xuanyu wanted to do most now.
After getting off the spacecraft, Elder Shu told Lan Xuanyu to go back on his own and then flew away first. Lan Xuanyu didn’t hurry back to the academy. Instead, he made a long-distance call using interstellar communication.
Interstellar communication was very expensive, even within Shrek Academy, and only specific places had access to it.
Of course, the Space Center had it, but the price was beyond what ordinary people could afford. Lan Xuanyu used the Shrek Academy emblem for payment to get a discount.
Soon, the communication was connected, and a gentle voice sounded, “Xuanyu, what’s up?”
Hearing this pleasant and familiar voice, a smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face, “Uncle Le, I’ve already broken through to the fifth ring. I should have a pretty high success rate for Spirit Refinement, and I’ve also mastered Fuse Forging. What do you think? Can I try Soul Refinement? Do you have any advice for me?”
The voice of Mister Le came, “You broke through? Congratulations, Xuanyu. Are you about to take the graduation exam? Is it a bit rushed to try Soul Refinement now?”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “It’s fine. I feel great after this breakthrough, and I shouldn’t have any problems with the graduation exam. I plan to try Soul Refinement while there’s still some time before graduation. If I can succeed, that would be great. It will be an extra card during the graduation.”
Having the forging strength at the level of Soul Refinement would undoubtedly earn extra points during admission to the Inner Court. Lan Xuanyu wasn’t too worried about getting into the Inner Court. With his current strength of having five hundred thousand-year soul rings, if he couldn’t get into the Inner Court with such power, then probably no one could get into the Inner Court of Shrek Academy.
What he hoped for the most now was to have a few more companions who could also get into the Inner Court.
Tang Le smiled and said, “Alright. Since you want to break through at this time, I don’t see any problem. You have accumulated enough strength. So, wait for me. I’m currently in the Douluo Continent. I’ll arrange things here and then head to Shrek. I’ll guide you through the breakthrough on-site, which should increase the success rate.”
“Really? That’s great. Thank you, Uncle Le. I’ll be waiting for you!” Lan Xuanyu said with a smile.
Mister Le smiled, “Hmm, in about three days. It should be around that time.”
“Okay, got it!” Lan Xuanyu quickly agreed.
After ending the communication and settling the cost of the interstellar communication, Lan Xuanyu was about to return to the academy when his communicator rang again.
“Teacher Nana?” Lan Xuanyu exclaimed in surprise, “How did you know I came back?”
Nana’s laughter came from the other side, “I can make educated guesses, you know. So, you’re back, right? Did you succeed in your breakthrough?”
“Yes, I made it!” Lan Xuanyu replied excitedly.
Nana said, “I’ll be busy for the next two days, but about three days later, I’ll come over and help you familiarize yourself with elemental control after advancing. The awakening of your fifth soul ring is for light element control, right?”
“You can really make educated guesses, huh?” Lan Xuanyu said in amazement. “Or do you have some secret method to know about my changes?”
Nana chuckled, “That’s a secret. Anyway, go back and rest for now.”
After ending the communication, Nana, who was in her personal office at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, showed a gentle expression in her eyes. Her pupils slightly closed as a circle of soul rings rose from under her feet.
Each soul ring that rose from her body was presented in a faint golden color, appearing ethereal and elusive. A total of ten golden soul rings floated around her body.
She gently waved her palm, and the fifth faint golden soul ring on her body emitted a flickering halo, transforming from faint gold to bright gold. Then, with her body as the center, the surrounding halos turned white, exuding a holy and radiant aura.
“Because my fifth soul ring is also light element control!” she muttered to herself, lightly biting her lips as a hint of complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Heaven Dou Planet
“Let’s postpone the performance for a few days,” Tang Le said to Le Qingling.
“What’s the situation?” Le Qingling looked at him with confusion.
Tang Le’s performance on the Heaven Dou Planet was already scheduled for three days later. They had arrived and completed a lot of pre-work.
Tang Le explained, “I need to go to the Douluo Planet. Let’s postpone it for a week. I’ll cover all the expenses incurred.”
Le Qingling retorted somewhat indignantly, “Do you know how this will affect your reputation? You’ve always been committed to your promises!”
Tang Le helplessly said, “Xuanyu is about to break through, and I want to be there to support him. It’s rather sudden, so I must make this trip, and I apologize for it. How about this? You can tell the organizers that during this concert, I will create a new song exclusively. It will be a debut. Since my inspiration erupted suddenly, I needed some time to perfect the song, and to avoid interrupting the flow of inspiration, we had to postpone the concert. They should understand, right?”
Of course, they would understand. After all, over the years, Tang Le had sung only a dozen or so songs in total. Every time a new song was released during a concert, it was considered a classic among classics. There were hardly any cases of announcing new songs in advance.
If the fans knew that the concert they had already bought tickets for would feature the release of a new song by Tang Le, they would be willing to wait not just a week, but even a year! This is something that cannot be measured in value. As for the organizers, although they couldn’t earn ticket money from the fans, with this news, there’s no doubt that all advertising sponsorship fees would skyrocket, ensuring a profitable outcome.
Le Qingling only needed a brief consideration in her mind to be certain that there would be no issue. She also felt somewhat helpless with Tang Le; he always appeared carefree and indifferent. The only thing that seemed to concern him was that little fellow at Shrek Academy.
She had seen Lan Xuanyu, and indeed, he was quite good-looking. There was also a certain special feeling about him; as he grew older, he seemed to resemble Tang Le more and more, though his features were softer, and purely in terms of appearance, he surpassed Tang Le by a few points. However, due to his young age, he still lacked the composure that Tang Le possessed.
