384: In March, the seventh-grade formation

Holy Academy.

Inside a pavilion.

The Xia Emperor was playing chess with Zhou Xuantian. After a few moves, he asked, "What has that kid Xie Weilou been up to lately?"

Zhou Xuantian smiled and said, "He's cultivating with Fourth Mr.."

Upon hearing this, the Xia Emperor's face showed a smile: "This is his opportunity! Back then, I also wanted to cultivate with Fourth Mr., but unfortunately, Fourth Mr. only taught me the art of strategy."

Zhou Xuantian said with emotion, "At that time, Fourth Mr. said you had your own path to walk, so he naturally wouldn't teach you too much! Fourth Mr.'s personality is eccentric and unfathomable. I also didn't expect him to teach Xie Weilou cultivation."

He could persuade the other elders and teachers of the Holy Academy, but only Fourth Mr., he couldn't persuade. That he was willing to teach Xie Weilou cultivation was not at his request.

"It shows that my judgment is good. That kid Xie Weilou is indeed an unpolished gem."

The Xia Emperor's tone was filled with approval.

Zhou Xuantian looked at the Xia Emperor: "Aren't you afraid of problems by putting all your chips on this kid?"

The Xia Emperor smiled faintly: "The Dean can wait and see."

He didn't make another move, but instead said, "Let the young people play the rest of the game themselves. At that time, the Holy Academy should not easily interfere. If he's a dragon, he'll fly out; if he's a tiger, he'll stay."

This game of chess was still being played by him. Regardless of success or failure, the pieces could jump off the board, making it a perfect game.

Of course, a game of chess accompanied by death was normal.

Zhou Xuantian smiled dumbly: "Then I'll wait and see!"

"Suddenly, I feel a bit reluctant to leave this Tianqi. I'll go for another stroll."

The Xia Emperor stood up and walked out of the pavilion with a smile.

Two months later.

Beneath the lake.

Xie Weilou was in an eighth-grade killing array. His body was covered in dense bloodstains, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely pale.

In three months, his array mastery had advanced rapidly. Through continuous comprehension, breaking, and setting up arrays, coupled with Fourth Mr.'s guidance, his array mastery had already reached the seventh-grade realm.

A seventh-grade array master's arrays posed a huge threat even to the Divine Court, naturally extraordinary.

He was currently comprehending a portion of the power of the eighth-grade killing array. This power was extremely fierce, putting him under immense pressure.

Fourth Mr. had only activated a part of the power of the eighth-grade killing array. If this grand array were to fully operate, Xie Weilou, who was inside, would surely be instantly annihilated.

An eighth-grade killing array was enough to crush a Divine Court Realm in an instant.

Even more terrifying was that there was also a ninth-grade grand array within it.

If Fourth Mr. could even set up a ninth-grade grand array, how terrifying must his cultivation and combat power be?

Half an hour later.

A huge force struck, and Xie Weilou was instantly moved out of the grand array. He immediately sat cross-legged, the Nirvana Sutra circulated, and his injuries quickly recovered.

After a while.

Xie Weilou slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of stale air. The seventh-grade was achieved, but it would still take a lot of time to enter the eighth-grade realm.

Spring Autumn Cicada looked at Xie Weilou and smiled faintly: "In three months, you've advanced to a seventh-grade array master. Your talent is indeed extraordinary. The third-grade is a watershed, and the seventh-grade is the second watershed. It will take a lot of time to enter the eighth-grade. You should take a good rest now."

Xie Weilou stood up and bowed to Spring Autumn Cicada: "Thank you, Fourth Mr., for your guidance these past three months."

"Mm!"

Spring Autumn Cicada nodded lightly and then flew out of the lake with Xie Weilou.

They arrived in front of the wooden house.

Spring Autumn Cicada said: "You should go out and walk around! Cultivate other aspects as well. You can come to Chunqiu Peak anytime."

"Okay!"

Xie Weilou bowed and then flew away.

"What a monster!"

Spring Autumn Cicada looked at Xie Weilou's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.

Holy Academy.

On a square.

Yan Ruyi held a string of candied haws and ate them in big bites, her cheeks puffed out like a squirrel's. She looked at Yan Ruyu in front of her and laughed: "Little Ruyu, fair and white, with two short legs jumping up, so cute when she's flustered."

Yan Ruyu ignored Yan Ruyi: "Are you asking for a beating?"

Yan Ruyi quickly swallowed the candied haws in her mouth. She came to Yan Ruyu's side and whispered: "Little Ruyu, that innate Stone Embryo in your blood-colored coffin is very good, truly mouth-watering. How about you let me have a bite?"

After speaking, she lightly licked her lips, a blood-red glint flashing in her eyes.

It was clear that she really loved to eat; she was simply a big glutton.

Yan Ruyu's face sank, and she took half a step back. She glared at Yan Ruyi: "It seems you want to eat a lot of things! That thing sealed by the Qintian Bureau, do you want to eat that too?"

"Little Ruyu, you're so smart."

Yan Ruyi's smile deepened. Of course, she wanted to eat that thing; just thinking about it was delicious.

"Oh! Your Royal Highnesses, what are you two chatting about? May I share it?"

Xie Weilou walked over with a smile on his face.

......

The smile on Yan Ruyi's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a wronged expression, and mist appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Xie Weilou dejectedly: "Xie Weilou, you've come at the right time. Just now, Yan Ruyu bullied me. She said I was a shorty and a fat little person. Where am I fat?"

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, unable to see her toes at all.

Xie Weilou's gaze subconsciously fell on Yan Ruyi's chest, and he raised an eyebrow: "Your Royal Highness, why are you so exaggerated?"

Yan Ruyi's eyes reddened, and she bit off another candied haw, saying angrily: "Because Yan Ruyu beat me until I swelled up!"

......

Xie Weilou's mouth twitched.

"Heh!"

Yan Ruyu smiled coldly and then turned to leave.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Ruyu's retreating figure. In three months, this woman had already entered the Profound Manifestation Realm. Her speed was also very fast.

These princes and princesses, with their extraordinary talent, naturally wouldn't fall behind much in terms of cultivation.

Yan Ruyi wiped the corner of her eye and said to Xie Weilou: "Xie Weilou, I'm hungry. Would you treat me to something to eat?"

Xie Weilou reached out and gently stroked Yan Ruyi's head: "Your Royal Highness, you're already a plump, fair-skinned big fatty. Eat less sweets."

He took Yan Ruyi's candied haws and walked away, eating them with a look of contentment.

"You..."

Yan Ruyi glared at Xie Weilou, biting her tiger teeth, revealing an angry expression.

Thunder Peak.

Outside Lin Qinghuang's cave dwelling.

"After three months of secluded cultivation, have you gained anything?"

Lin Qinghuang poured Xie Weilou a cup of fragrant tea. In these three months, she naturally hadn't been idle either, her cultivation had improved a lot.

"A seventh-grade array master, how's that?"

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qinghuang couldn't help but exclaim: "You, you're simply a monster!"

Array mastery, alchemy, artifact refining, Restriction, talismans, and so on—these all greatly tested one's talent, being many times more difficult than martial arts cultivation, yet this guy could master them quickly. He was simply a freak.

Xie Weilou smiled and said: "Recently, secluded cultivation has been a bit boring. I plan to go out and wander around. Qinghuang, would you like to come along?"

He planned to visit Tianyin Temple to learn some Buddhist scriptures!
