When he found Little Lei Zi, it was already night. Seeing Little Lei Zi waiting for him on the spot, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with praise.

"Let's go." He walked straight in front of Little Lei Zi and said.

"Seventh Prince, that person." Seeing that Han Xiao just came back, Little Lei Zi asked hesitantly.

"She's not from the same world as us. There probably won't be any place to stay in the city right now. Let's go out of the city and find a place to rest for the night. We'll go straight to the Abyss Academy tomorrow." Han Xiao calmly said, as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Little Lei Zi did not dare to lower his head and follow behind him.

After resting for an entire night, Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi woke up early in the morning to hurry on their way, and it was only on the evening of the third day that they finally arrived at their destination: the Abyss Mansion, with its four big words, as well as the tall building in the middle of the mountains. Little Lei Zi's face was filled with undisguised excitement; ever since he was young, he had never seen such a beautiful house, and even the imperial palace of the Yun Ming Dynasty was like a normal house in front of the Abyssal Mansion Academy.

Compared to Xiao Lei Zi's excitement, Han Xiao was much calmer. Looking at the densely packed crowd around him, he thought of the fierce competition in a few days, and his originally quiet heart started to boil.

However, Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi's arrival did not affect the rest of them. Some of them just looked up at them, then lowered their heads and started to prepare for the test in a few days.

After finding a place to sit, Han Xiao slowly closed his eyes, intending to adjust his condition to its best, and Little Lei Zi also became serious at this moment, carefully looking at the people around Han Xiao as if they were guards. Unknowingly, the two of them had already waited in front of the Abyss Level Academy for three days.

"You bumpkin, you actually dared to bump into me. You must know that even if I stripped your skin, I still wouldn't be able to buy this piece of clothes." A loud noise came from a place not too far away from Han Xiao. When Han Xiao, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, heard this voice, he could not help but frown and opened his eyes, only to see a very honest looking youth standing not far away in front of a well-dressed man. That man's arrogant attitude caused Han Xiao to feel a sense of disgust.

"I'm sorry. You can give me these clothes first. Consider it as me lending them to you. When I enter the academy to study, I … I will make money to repay you." If you don't believe me, I'll give you the shoes my mother made for me. " As Zhao Xiang spoke, he opened the package that he was hugging tightly, revealing a pair of thick black cloth shoes.

Xuan Rong viciously slammed the pair of shoes on the ground, then stepped on them as if she was still unsatisfied. With disdain, she said, "You think it's a dream for a trash from the countryside to enter the Abyss Academy. Also, do you want to insult me with those shoes you're holding? Pah!" Finally Xuan Rong spat on the shoes, showing his disgust for them.

Seeing his shoes that he treasured the most being stepped on, and thinking of how his mother had stayed up all night to sew these shoes for him, Zhao Xiang's eyes seemed to have a storm brewing. He extended his hand to grab Xuan Rong, but was stopped by a white hand just as he turned around to see a handsome man looking at him with a gentle smile.

"Your distinguished self went overboard just because of a single set of clothes." Han Xiao bent down to pick up the pair of shoes. He raised his head to look at Xuan Rong. Although there was a faint smile on his face, the man felt an indescribable coldness.

"Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business." Xuan Rong didn't even finish his sentence before his neck was strangled. His body was lifted off the ground and he was suddenly struck by fear.

"Who I am has nothing to do with you. Right now, I'll give you two paths. One is to apologize, and I'll spare your life. I won't apologize, and I'll kill you." Han Xiao said with a smile and a warm tone, as if what he said was the easiest thing to do.

The fear of death engulfed Xuan Fang as he felt the hand on his neck begin to move with all his might. He didn't care about anything else and hastily shouted, "I apologize, I apologize!"

Seeing the fear on Xuan Rong's face, Han Xiao threw Xuan Rong onto the ground and ordered, "The person you want to apologize to isn't me."

Xuan Rong hurriedly turned his head toward Zhao Xiang and said, "It was my fault just now. I apologize. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Seeing Xuan Rong suddenly apologize to him, Zhao Xiang didn't know what to do. His hatred completely disappeared and he waved his hands: "It's alright. You don't need to apologize."

"No, it's my fault, it's my fault. I will compensate you with your shoes." Xuan Rong hurriedly said as he saw the ice-cold look in Han Xiao's eyes.

Hearing Xuan Rong mention Zhao Xiang's shoes, Zhao Xiang's eyes dimmed. He carefully wiped off the shoes on his chest and wrapped them in a cloth, trying his best to make a relaxed smile and said, "It's okay. I'm a country bumpkin. As long as these shoes aren't broken, I can wear them." After saying this, Zhao Xiang embarrassedly rubbed his head.

Seeing Zhao Xiang so generous as to think of his expression just now, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face. He bowed towards Zhao Xiang and left as if he was fleeing.

"Since it's your mother's kind intentions, don't take it out so easily. Don't let others look down on your mother's love." Seeing that Zhao Xiang, Han Xiao, had just finished speaking indifferently, he turned around and walked back to the place he was at a moment ago.

Originally, he didn't want to interfere in this matter. However, after seeing the storm in Zhao Xiang's eyes, he couldn't help but recall the scene where he had just arrived in the United States.

When Zhao Xiang saw Han Xiao leave, he hurriedly followed and bowed to Han Xiao, "I'm Zhao Xiang. Thank you for your help today."

"I just can't bear to see some people act so arrogantly." Han Xiao gently said.

"You really are a good person. Oh yeah, what's your name?" Zhao Xiang asked curiously.

"I'm Han Xiao, as for good people, I've never considered myself as good." Han Xiao said with a faint smile, revealing a trace of unconcealable loneliness.

Zhao Xiang didn't notice the abnormality in Han Xiao's words. Instead, he sat with Han Xiao and chatted. Han Xiao had no choice but to stop cultivating and chat with Zhao Xiang.

Through their conversation, Han Xiao knew that Zhao Xiang was a person from a small village under the jurisdiction of the Abyss Ming Academy, and his strength was much greater than others since young. He came to the Abyss Academy this time to gain honor for his parents, to learn how to live a better life for his parents.

Through this conversation, Han Xiao also knew that Zhao Xiang was truly a simple person. In his world, other than his parents, there was nothing else besides the big yellow dog at home. And to be able to build a big house for his parents was the biggest dream of Zhao Xiang's life.

In the blink of an eye, another two days had passed. Unknowingly, the day of recruitment had already arrived. There were already tens of thousands of students gathered in front of the Obscure Academy. The crowd was so dense that one couldn't see the end of it.

With a rumbling sound, the tightly shut door slowly opened to reveal a long passageway and a cyan boulder. Five middle-aged men wearing the same uniform stood in front of the huge boulder. It seemed like they were the person in charge of the enrollment process for the academy.

As soon as they saw the gate being opened and their dreams opened, the academy immediately became noisy in front of their eyes. Some people even began to walk forward excitedly, as if they would be more able to be taken in as they moved closer to the door.

"Everyone, please calm down. I'm Wan Nansong from the Star Glory Sect of the Abyss Academy. Please stand in formation and prepare to test your aptitude." Wan Nan Song, who was on the right side, walked up and shouted.

The noisy crowd immediately quietened down as soon as Wan Nan Song finished speaking. They all looked at each other and consciously formed into a long line, ready to start the first test.

Wan Nan Song nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. "Now, you all go one by one according to the order. Circulate your source energy and put your hands on this blue stone. This blue stone will naturally show your aptitudes."

After saying that, the person at the front of the group began to impatiently move forward and place their hands on the limestone. The green boulder displayed different colors, and people began to worry as they tried it out one by one.

Because Han Xiao was standing at the back, he was in no hurry to step forward. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a familiar voice.

"Han Xiao, you can still sleep at a time like this?" Gu Xuan'er looked at Han Xiao, who was about to fall asleep, and said with a smile.

Hearing Gu Xuan'er's voice, Gu Xuan'er opened her eyes and saw that her sleepiness had completely disappeared. She subconsciously blurted out a question: "Why are you here?"

"Naturally, he's here to register for the Academy of Obscure." Gu Xuan'er said with a faint smile.

Hearing Gu Xuan'er's words, Han Xiao frowned. Even though he knew that Gu Xuan'er was lying, he had no intention of exposing her lies.

"Then we might be classmates from now on." Han Xiao said with a faint smile, making it impossible for others to see his emotions.

"You're right. Please take care of me from now on, Xiao." Gu Xuan'er softly said.

Han Xiao's heart trembled when he heard the phrase "Xiao". Because of this sentence, his frozen heart seemed to have a crack in it. He tried his best to shake off the feelings in his heart, but that "Xiao" seemed to have taken root in his mind, echoing nonstop.

"Seventh Prince, it's your turn." Little Lei Zi's voice called back Han Xiao's train of thoughts, causing Han Xiao to look up to see that there was indeed a huge piece of empty space in front of him, he was the only one standing there foolishly, stabilizing his emotions. Han Xiao walked forward, circulating the Origin Energy in his body and gently placing his hand on the green rock in front of him.

When the green light dissipated and became a silent black, the five people were no longer able to keep calm after seeing the change in the green stone. Wan Nan Song's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Han Xiao and said, "This is the earth's soul, this is the reaction of the earth's soul." The other four people looked very excited as well.

However, when they saw that Gu Xuan'er had put down the seven-colored light in her hand and turned it white, the excitement in their hearts had already turned to shock and their gazes towards Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er were filled with disbelief.

"Heaven's Soul. Heavens! Heaven's Soul and Earth's Soul actually appeared at the same time! You two stay here and I'll go tell the Headmaster!" Wan Nan Song let out a loud shout as he turned around and flew towards the academy's interior, while the other four looked at Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er, unable to find their voice.
