Chapter 223

There was a hint of vigilance in Chen Yu's tone.

He still remembered it.

When he was in the Blood Burial Garden, he was attacked by the Flower Spirit.

At that time, the Blood Glass Flame suddenly burst out and almost killed Chen Yu and Tong Yuling.

"Wuwuwu … Master, I was just trying to protect myself."

The childish voice sounded pitiful.

It was connected with Chen Yu's mind, so it could feel his emotions and thoughts.

"Indeed, I was the Flower Spirit born from the ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower."

The childish voice began to narrate.

"But later, the Blood Lotus Holy Virgin, whose body had been destroyed, invaded the Blood Soul Flower with her broken soul. She tried to use my body to create a Blood Soul Body …"

"The Blood Lotus Holy Virgin?" Chen Yu suddenly interrupted.

"She's the evil woman who took your female companion's body."

The childish voice said.

Chen Yu nodded slightly. At that time, he found that Tong Yuling had become another person.

"Humph! That evil woman suffered the consequences of her own actions. Her soul was shattered by the Blood Glass Flame and merged with your female companion's body to be her dowry … "

The childish voice had a gloating tone.

"I see."

Chen Yu finally understood the cause and effect of Tong Yuling's change.

Although this woman's personality changed, at least she was not taken over by the Blood Lotus Holy Virgin.

"You're getting off topic. You still haven't told me how you became a flame spirit."

Chen Yu went back to the main topic.

"Because the Blood Glass Flame is the companion flame of the ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower. They were almost born from the same mother. Over time, I had a little influence on it. We were compatible and there was no rejection …"

The childish voice said in a righteous manner.

At that time, during the battle for the Blood Soul Flower.

The ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower was split into two by Chen Yu.

The Flower Spirit and the Blood Lotus Holy Virgin each occupied half of the Blood Soul Flower's body.

Among them.

The Blood Lotus Holy Virgin stored half of the Blood Soul petals and took over Tong Yuling's body.

As for the Flower Spirit, it was stored in the flower bud and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. However, it was intercepted and bitten by Chen Yu's Iron Moon Strange Insects.

Later on.

When Chen Yu took out the sealed [Blood Glass Flame], he was attacked by Hua Ling.

But in the end …

Due to the existence of the mysterious heart, the flower spirit failed. After the flower bud shattered, it fell into a coma.

"When I woke up, I had actually become the flame spirit of the [Blood Glazed Flame], and had inexplicably recognized you as its master."

His childish voice was filled with doubt.

Chen Yu pondered for a while.

For this Flower Spirit to become the flame spirit of the [Blood Glazed Flame], it was indeed a fortuitous encounter.

Otherwise.

If Chen Yu wanted to refine or use a high level true fire spiritual flame like the [Blood Glass Flame], it would take him a long time.

Furthermore.

Connate spirit flames were extremely rare and precious to begin with.

Moreover, True Fire Spirit Flames that possessed a 'Flame Spirit' were extremely rare, and all of them possessed great fortune.

After a flame spirit was born, the spirituality, growth, and power of the spirit flames would far surpass that of normal True Flames.

…

He figured out the truth about the flame spirit and the Blood Burial Garden.

Chen Yu didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

His attention was on the iron moon worm again.

Ever since it had eaten the internal organs and flesh essence of the Blood Dragon Beast, the worm had fallen into a deep sleep.

Two or three days later.

The iron moon worm finally woke up.

The appearance of the worm didn't change, but its aura became stronger, faintly emitting the pressure of an ancient beast.

In the past.

The iron moon worm's level was not lower than that of an ancient beast. After all, it was a mutated worm king.

But now.

Its individual ability had greatly increased, including the terrifying corpse poison it contained.

Chen Yu estimated.

With the current strength of the worm, it could basically dominate the Houtian stage, and it would definitely kill ordinary Houtian stage demon beasts.

Even a human at the Qi Transformation Connate stage might die from the poison if bitten by this worm.

After the worm's condition stabilized.

Chen Yu's next step was to go to the Secret Pavilion of the Marquis's Mansion to receive a secret technique.

…

On this day.

Several disciples of the Fu family invited him to the Marquis's Mansion.

Ye Luofeng was also invited to join.

They met again.

Ye Luofeng's eyes were still cold, and her face was calm.

It was as if the intimate kiss that day had never happened.

Chen Yu's gaze lingered on the woman's soft and moist red lips for a moment with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Ye Luofeng turned to the side, and a faint blush appeared on her snow-white face.

"Let's go!"

The group of youths rode on two birds and left the Fu family's territory.

The destination of this trip, the Marquis's Mansion, was in the center of Yunlai Prefecture, the capital city of Yunlai Prefecture.

The last Hunting Meet was held far away from the capital city.

Therefore.

This was the first time Chen Yu went to the capital city of Yunzhao Nation.

Two days later.

A majestic ancient city came into Chen Yu's sight.

This was the first time Chen Yu had seen such a large city since he came from the Northern Plains.

Even the capital of Chu Nation didn't have such a grandeur.

That made sense.

Yunlai Prefecture was essentially a feudal kingdom. Its territory and cultivation culture far surpassed that of Chu Nation.

Before entering the capital city, all birds had to stay outside the city.

"Guest Chen, you are now a Baron, you can ride a bird into the capital city."

Fu Hong and Fu Yanzi said with admiration and respect.

"Let's go together."

Chen Yu didn't want to be high-profile. With so many people around, he didn't want to show off his privileges.

After all.

He was the only Baron present, and only one bird was allowed to enter.

Chen Yu's actions won the favor of the Fu family.

Fu Yanzi's beautiful eyes looked around, and from time to time, there was a hint of admiration and infatuation on his face.

Not long after Chen Yu entered the city.

Suddenly, a few figures flashed out from the crowd.

"Sir, the Hunting King has appeared …"

"Report! Two of the Fu family's guest geniuses have entered the capital city. "

…

Similar voices could be heard in every corner of the capital city.

Chen Yu walked in the crowd.

He could vaguely feel that he was being watched.

After the Hunting Meet, he became famous in Yunlai Prefecture. He was no longer a nobody.

He hadn't reached the Duke's Mansion yet.

A few groups of people appeared in front of him. They were dressed differently and blocked his way.

"Young hero, are you the Hunting King, Chen Yu?"

One of them, an old man with a flowery beard, smiled kindly.

"That's me."

Chen Yu looked puzzled.

"I am the Deputy Dean of the Outer Yard of Yun Dong Academy. I'm here to have a chat with Young Hero Chen and Miss Ye …"

The old man with the flowery beard said with a smile.

"Yun Dong Academy?" Chen Yu was stunned.

He felt that the old man's cultivation and aura were on par with Elder Mao's.

"Yun Dong Academy is the best academy in Yunlai Prefecture. It has a long history and thousands of years of heritage."

Fu Yanzi's face was flushed as she spoke.

"If you two join our academy, your tuition fees will be waived, and you can enjoy some valuable cultivation resources."

The old man with the flowery beard said with a flushed face.

However.

Before Chen Yu could react to the situation …

"Pfft! Yun Dong Academy? It's not even in the top fifty in the entire Yunzhao Nation. "

"Gentlemen, I come from Luo Kun Academy of Heaven's Elysium. Our academy is ranked in the top twenty in Yunzhao Nation, and we have five thousand years of heritage. We have all kinds of cultivation schools and secret cultivation places that can greatly increase your cultivation speed … "

A burly man with a dark face said, spittle flying.

"Miss Ye, our Sacred Sword Academy specializes in swordsmanship, and we've nurtured a famous King of Swords. Our Myriad Swords Peak can help you hone your sword intent … "

A Young Man With A Sword extended an invitation to Ye Luofeng.

A moment later.

A large number of elders from the academy had gathered nearby, and the weakest among them was an outer elder.

For a moment.

Chen Yu was a little dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Ye Luofeng, who stood beside him, didn't seem surprised at all.

"Brother Chen, we invite many factions to the Hunting Meet, including some teachers from the outer sanctum."

Fu Yanzi explained.

The Hunting Meet was a chance for the young geniuses to show off their strength.

Every year, the Senior Hunters or those with outstanding performances would be invited by some of the academies.

What were academies?

Chen Yu had heard a little about them after he came to Yunzhao Nation.

Everyone knew.

After the first Yunzhao Sage Emperor unified the country, the Sect declined. It was either massacred or retreated to the mountains, unable to interfere with worldly affairs.

However …

There were many more Sects that continued to exist in the form of academies.

Academies were also places for cultivation, but they were not as powerful as the Sect's era.

The royal family of Yunzhao had also established their own elite academy, Yunyang Academy.

Of course.

Yunyang Academy was known as the top academy in the ancient country, and its admission requirements were extremely high. Usually, only the royal family, the ancient clans, and a few nobles could enroll.

It was difficult for ordinary people to enroll, even if they had a certain level of cultivation potential.

It was not just Yunyang Academy. All four academies had extremely high admission requirements, and each of them had produced a generation of elites and overlords.

Except for the four academies.

There were at least thousands of ordinary academies in Yunzhao Nation. As long as they could afford the expensive Primordial Stones, ordinary people with low qualifications, or even half-spiritual bodies, could enroll and embark on the path of cultivation.

…

Many academies, some high and some low, were neutral in the ancient country, and had pushed the national power of Yunzhao Nation to unprecedented glory.

"Academies are indeed a good choice."

Chen Yu thought.

First, the academies were far less restrictive than the Sect.

Compared to the strict Sect, it was much more free.

Second, the legacies and resources of the academies, including the teachings of the teachers, could reduce the number of detours on the path of cultivation.

In the past, the Sect was relatively closed in terms of inheritance.

There was another important point.

The academies here were not like the Sect in the Northern Plains, where Sect wars could easily break out and shake the secular world.

The key was which academy to choose.

This was what Chen Yu needed to think about.

The Hunting Meet had made him famous, and he was already standing on a higher platform.

If it was an ordinary academy.

He could even skip the assessment and become a student of the academy.

"Honorable Chen, you are this year's Senior Hunter, and you have the right to recommend 'Yunyang Capital Academy.' There is no need to rush."

Fu Hong, who was beside him, reminded him.

He was worried that Chen Yu would be so impulsive that he would join some ordinary academy.

A genius like Chen Yu should at least fight to get into the four famous academies that had been around for thousands of years.

"Haha, there is no strongest academy, only the most suitable academy …"

An ethereal and evil voice sounded in Chen Yu's ears.

Hmm?

Chen Yu was startled. Soon, he saw a strange man in a black robe standing alone in the crowd.

"Although Yunyang Capital Academy is the head of the four, it was built for the nobles and the ancients, and the environment is fickle.

"As for my 'Demon-Free Academy', not only does it have a profound heritage, but it also has an unrestrained and cruel environment, creating generations of Demon Masters …"

This strange man was dressed in a black cloak, and his face was covered with sideburns. A gray lynx sat on his shoulder, dozing off listlessly.
