Lin Xiu Ran's eyes held a hint of inquiry, then he said earnestly, "There will always be a way. Don't be too anxious. It won't affect your cultivation now, so just calm down and focus on your training."
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly and said, "That's precisely why I had some ideas for going to the Star Luo Continent this time—to see if there are any opportunities that could help me."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before she went back to the academy. After all, she was leaving soon, and she still needed to prepare some things.
After finishing his activities, Lin Xiu Ran went to the Blacksmith Association. His mecha had been delayed for a long time due to the previous incident. He
estimated that Mu Ye should have delivered it to the Blacksmith Association in the next couple of days, so he could go and take a look.
However, as soon as he entered Mu Chen's office, he heard a young girl's voice.
Lin Xiu Ran recognized the voice; it should be Mu Chen's daughter, Mu Xi.
"Dad, I want to go to the Star Luo Continent too."
"Don't be silly, that's Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion's decision. Your father doesn't have that kind of power to get you in."
Lin Xiu Ran saw Mu Xi looking somewhat sullen as soon as he entered.
It seemed she really had feelings for Tang Wulin, otherwise she wouldn't want to go to the Star Luo Continent with him.
But Lin Xiu Ran didn't care what had happened, simply asking, "Uncle-Master, my things have arrived."
Seeing Lin Xiu Ran, Mu Chen's helpless expression vanished, and he smiled, saying, "They're here. They arrived yesterday."
He then tossed a spatial ring to Lin Xiu Ran.
Mu Xi looked over curiously, but Mu Chen grabbed her arm, saying seriously, "Go practice your forging. If it weren't for forging, how could you get into Shrek Academy?"
Actually, it wasn't just these things. There were quite a few blacksmiths of similar talent to Mu Xi at the same age, but they didn't get into Shrek Academy because of it. The real reason was undoubtedly Mu Chen's influence.
That's why Mu Chen was so strict with Mu Xi; if even her blacksmithing skills couldn't keep up, there would be even more gossip.
Mu Xi sighed softly, then glanced at Lin Xiu Ran and said, "I understand, I'll go forge now."
"Xiu Ran, your teacher asked me to tell you to go see him when you have time. Your One-Word Battle Armor should be truly finished by now." Mu Chen conveyed Zhen Hua's message before Lin Xiu Ran left.
Lin Xiu Ran's One-Word Battle Armor hadn't entered the actual forging process yet; only the metal needed for the armor was almost complete.
The actual forging would be completed under Zhen Hua's guidance. It wasn't that Lin Xiu Ran lacked the conditions to forge the armor. Rather, under the guidance of the world's number one blacksmith, the only divine craftsman, his armor would definitely be the most perfect One-Word Battle Armor.
Lin Xiu Ran inspected his mecha. Mu Ye had been quite generous, directly providing a purple-level mecha.
It must be said, Mu Ye possessed considerable skill, capable of creating a purple-level mecha. Moreover, this mecha was forged using his Phoenix True Fire.
Its power and energy far surpassed ordinary purple-level mechas, making it extremely useful at this stage, as it was equivalent to a Soul Emperor-level combatant.
Lin Xiu Ran was currently only a Soul King, and with the mecha's assistance, he would be like a tiger with wings.
Therefore, from the moment he received the mecha, Lin Xiu Ran quickly began to familiarize himself with this purple mecha.
After all, a mecha's combat power was greatly influenced by the pilot. Apart from god-level mechas possessing fully independent combat awareness, other mechas were somewhat lacking, requiring skilled piloting.
... "Before class begins, I have an announcement to make. Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan, this is your last class today. After class, immediately return to your dorms to pack your bags. We'll depart for Tianhai City this afternoon to participate in an exchange activity to the Star Luo Continent. I will be leading the team. Therefore, today's class will also be my last class for the next year." "
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's class positions will be temporarily filled by Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing. Wu Siduo will be the class monitor, and Luo Guixing will be the vice-monitor. Yang Nianxia will be added as vice-monitor and forging committee member..."
The bell rang quickly,
and the students walked out one after another. Many of them saw Lin Xiu Ran standing at the door.
This was Lin Xiu Ran's first time in Class 1 of the first year since what happened half a year ago.
Undoubtedly, almost everyone in Class 1 of the first year still remembered him clearly.
Whether it was the strength Lin Xiu Ran displayed at the beginning of the competition or what they heard later, it
undoubtedly greatly enhanced Lin Xiu Ran's reputation in a certain way, although perhaps not all of it was for good.
But it didn't matter; Lin Xiu Ran didn't care.
Many of the first-year students quieted down when they saw Lin Xiu Ran.
Regardless, Lin Xiu Ran's strength was undeniable, and no one dared underestimate him.
Wu Changkong glanced at Lin Xiu Ran, then nodded slightly and left with his textbooks.
"Brother Xiu Ran, what brings you here?"
Xie Xie, with his sharpest eyes, was the first to approach.
"To see you off."
Actually, he was seeing Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi off; they had come to see him a couple of days ago, so he naturally had to come and see them off.
Xie Xie was actually quite excited. He had rarely seen Lin Xiu Ran in the past six months, and seeing him occasionally was a joy.
Seeing someone from the same place as him possess such strength naturally made him happy.
Xu Xiaoyan stood behind. She had learned a bit in the past six months, especially after returning home recently.
The clan elder's health had deteriorated, and he had told her some things, allowing her to truly understand some of the events of that year and Lin Xiu Ran's time in her family.
Previously, she had always believed that family discord could always be repaired. But now she knew very well that it was completely irreparable; it was even a favor that Lin Xiu Ran hadn't retaliated against the Xu family.
Therefore, this time she didn't try to ease the tension, but simply stood quietly to the side, head slightly bowed, trying to minimize her presence.
Tang Wulin smiled, gently shrugged, gesturing to Lin Xiu Ran, and then went to talk to Luo Guixing and the others.
He still needed to hand over the class duties to them, since their positions would be vacant after they left, and these people would be needed to fill them.
As for why it wasn't Wu Siduo, the class monitor, she was also standing to the side, her gaze coldly scrutinizing Lin Xiu Ran.
