The First Saint of Dan Dao

Tang Yan took a deep breath and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, but I need to recuperate for a day."

"Okay, let's call it a day today. Have a good rest and come to me if you need anything." Xiao Cangshan was relieved to see that Tang Yan was fine. He gave a few instructions and left.

Next, something incredible happened.

Normally speaking, when the elders practiced with Tang Yan, no one would watch.

But since Xiao Cangshan's last sparring session with Tang Yan, this situation has gradually changed.

When the Great Elder was preparing to practice with Tang Yan, he couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Xiao Cangshan watching on the side.

However, the Great Elder did not ask any further questions and focused on practicing with Tang Yan.

When Tang Yan displayed his Heavenly Rank strength, the Great Elder, who had been able to spar with Tang Yan with ease, was immediately caught off guard.

At this time, the Great Elder finally understood why the Dean, who was so busy with his daily affairs, had the leisure to come and watch the battle. It turned out that he wanted to see him make a fool of himself!

What’s even more abominable is that Xiao Cangshan actually saw it!

On the third day, the Great Elder silently accompanied Xiao Cangshan and participated in the sparring between the Second Elder and Tang Yan.

Tang Yan was very observant and could naturally guess the intentions of the dean and the great elder. He couldn't help but find their behavior funny.

……

On the fourteenth day, after Mo Bin and Tang Yan finished their sparring, Mo Bin covered his bruised forehead, glared at the many elders who were laughing not far away, and said speechlessly, "I was wondering why you were all watching, it turns out you wanted to see me make a fool of myself!

But the more you act like this, the more it shows that you have suffered losses!"

"You didn't see it anyway." The Ninth Elder retorted awkwardly.

"You..." Mo Bin glared at the Ninth Elder, not knowing how to respond.

“I was just an auxiliary with a fighting spirit, so I took advantage of it.

Moreover, the elders considered me as a junior and certainly did not use their full strength.

Moreover, we didn't use any powerful martial arts in our sparring. If there were no such restrictions, I would have been abused." Tang Yan tried to save face for the others.

After hearing Tang Yan's words, the elders felt much more relieved. Damn, they had suffered some losses at Tang Yan's hands these days, and they were already embarrassed.

"Your strength has now reached the heavenly level, and you have fulfilled one of my wishes. If you continue to practice, the elders can use your martial arts. You should consolidate your strength these days, as we will set off for the imperial city in a few days!" Xiao Cangshan said with a smile.

"The Spirit Academy Contest is being held in the Imperial City?" Tang Yan asked curiously. He didn't know much about the Spirit Academy Contest.

Xiao Cangshan explained: "It will be held at the junction of several major forces in Tingxiang Country, so that it can attract the attention of major forces.

As the core of Tingxiang Kingdom, any battle between spiritual academies must first be registered in the imperial city, and the royal family will also send experts to supervise the fairness of the battle.

There is also good news. The time of the Spiritual Academy dispute has been changed back to the previous time.

This way, you have more than two months to prepare.”

This is good news for Qinglong Academy. Xiao Cangshan is aware of Tang Yan's talent, and what this boy lacks most is time.

Tang Yan had no objection to this. Seeing that Tang Yan had no other questions, Xiao Cangshan said, "If you want to practice with the elders in the future, you can contact the elders directly."

"That's right. If you want to practice sparring, you can come to us anytime." The second elder agreed readily. After practicing sparring with Tang Yan these days, it was not only Tang Yan who improved, but they, the elders, also gained a lot of inspiration in martial arts.

Tang Yan thanked the elders and left.

When he arrived at the dormitory courtyard, Tang Yan discovered that Ziyun had not gone out, but was sitting in the courtyard playing the piano.

The sound of the piano is long and melancholy.

Looking at Ziyun's thin profile, gentle, graceful, and a little sad, Tang Yan's heart ached slightly.

It's time to fulfill the promise made with Ziyun.

"Ziyun."

"Tang Yan."

When they saw each other, they both opened their mouths at the same time.

Tang Yan said gently: "You speak first."

Ziyun hesitated for a moment before she sighed, "I'm leaving soon."

Tang Yan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Why?"

"I received a message from my family yesterday, telling me to go back. My father will come to pick me up in person, and he will be here in the next two days."

"It's better to go back. The resources in Zizhu City should be more suitable for your cultivation. By the way, the cultivation resources you have in Qinglong Academy should be far inferior to those in Zizhu City. Why did you come here?" Tang Yan asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

"For..." Zi Yun looked at Tang Yan with a complicated look, but didn't know how to start.

In the past, Zi Yun didn’t understand why she came to Qinglong Academy. She could have gone to the Imperial City or other schools among the three major spiritual academies.

But when she was about to leave Qinglong Court, Ziyun suddenly realized that the biggest reason she came to Qinglong Court was to meet Tang Yan.

Just want to see you.

It's that simple!

"Forget it, let's wait until your strength reaches the heavenly level." Zi Yun sighed, feeling confused.

"I have reached the heavenly level." Tang Yan's gentle voice sounded, making Zi Yun stunned.

He hurriedly sent out a divine sense to detect Tang Yan's breath, and Tang Yan also let go of his cover at this moment.

Soon, Ziyun's face was filled with shock.

This guy actually reached the heavenly level within half a year?

I thought it was just a joke, but this guy actually did it!

Thinking of Tang Yan a year ago, and then thinking about the present, Zi Yun couldn't help but feel dazed.

From Yuan level to Tian level, it takes one year.

Such a genius is unheard of in the entire Tingxiang Country. What kind of monster is this guy?

Standing up and pacing in the yard for a few steps, Ziyun struggled for a while, and finally sighed: "Since you want to know, and you have fulfilled your promise, I will tell you.

I came to Qinglongyuan to see you and escape from some things."

Tang Yan asked in astonishment: "Escape? With your Heavenly Rank Five strength, why are you trying to escape from Tingxiang?"

"This world is very big..." Ziyun shook her head slightly.

Tang Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it the Northern Spirit Realm?"

Zi Yun hummed and said truthfully, "Yes, it's someone from Mingyou Valley in the Northern Spirit Realm.

Three years ago, the third young master of the Northern Spirit Realm happened to come to Tingxiang and visited Zizhu City on the way.

I didn't expect that after he left, he sent me a letter and told my father that he wanted to marry me, but he never asked me whether Zizhucheng agreed.

Half a year ago, they sent someone to mention the engagement again.

The Mingyougu family is powerful and it is difficult for our Zizhu City to resist. After discussion among the top family members, they decided to accept the marriage proposal.

Although I am reluctant, for the sake of my family's safety, I must accept this marriage proposal."

Tang Yan understood that Ziyun was a victim of the family's fate.

For the safety of the family and to prevent it from being destroyed by powerful forces, using Ziyun alone to preserve Zizhu City and even obtain more resources is undoubtedly very cost-effective.

But is it really correct?

Just as the two were silent, a very powerful aura suddenly emerged above Qinglong Courtyard.
