Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, the two people who had friction with Shi Yu, were also relatively well-behaved.
They knew they were no match for Shi Yu, so they didn't seek trouble unnecessarily; that would just make themselves unhappy.
They just focused on studying, diligently cultivating in private, hoping to improve, become stronger, and surpass Shi Yu.
It's worth mentioning that after Huo Yuhao became a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, his main energy was focused on Martial Soul cultivation, and he didn't spend much time on learning Soul Guidance Devices.
His becoming a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department still changed his life trajectory.
He didn't end up being neglected by the Martial Soul Department this semester as originally, thus putting a lot of effort into the Soul Guiding Device Department which valued him.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong didn't come looking for trouble with Shi Yu, and Shi Yu didn't deliberately seek trouble with them either; there was no need.
Unconsciously, more than two months passed in the new semester. On this day, Shi Yu contributed his blood for the last time.
Zhuang Lao used Shi Yu's blood to help Zhang Lexuan with her treatment, and this treatment was exceptionally easy.
After the treatment, Zhang Lexuan's entire spirit and vitality completely recovered, and Soul Power surged around her body, showing off her powerful cultivation.
"My injury is completely healed!" Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but feel joy in her heart.
These past two months had actually been quite difficult for her; she had constantly worried about whether her body could fully recover, and what if there were hidden dangers left behind in the future?
Now that her injury was completely healed, the worries in her heart were also swept away.
She felt completely refreshed, regaining her former vitality and confidence.
"Congratulations, Le Xuan-jie," Shi Yu watched from the side and was also happy for Zhang Lexuan at this moment.
Their interaction over the past two months had brought him and Zhang Lexuan much closer, and his address had changed from Senior Apprentice Sister to Le Xuan-jie.
Zhang Lexuan naturally tacitly accepted this address.
Zhuang Lao, Mu En, Xuan Lao, and other Senior Executives of Shrek Academy in the room also smiled.
Especially Xuan Lao, after hearing Zhang Lexuan's words that she had completely recovered, tears even welled up in his eyes.
At this moment, he finally felt a little relieved, and his guilt lessened.
Zhang Lexuan could be said to have been harmed to this state by him; if she couldn't recover to a completely unharmed state, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
These Sea God Pavilion elders all showed great concern for Zhang Lexuan, asking about her well-being.
Half an hour later, Shi Yu and Zhang Lexuan left the Sea God Pavilion together.
Their residences were adjacent, so they walked back together.
Walking side by side, both were very natural; they had walked side by side like this every day for the past two months and were already used to it.
They chatted casually along the way, both in good spirits.
"Tomorrow noon, same place, I'll come watch your sparring with Jiang Nannan," Zhang Lexuan suddenly said.
"Le Xuan-jie, you've recovered, are you still planning to guide us?" Shi Yu looked at Zhang Lexuan in surprise.
"It doesn't take up much Time," Zhang Lexuan said casually.
"That's great!" Shi Yu was naturally happy.
Zhang Lexuan's beautiful face appeared cool and gentle under the moonlight, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved slightly upward.
The next day at noon, on a training ground used by the students, Zhang Lexuan stood opposite Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan.
"Le Xuan-jie, please go easy on us," Shi Yu said with a smile, looking at Zhang Lexuan opposite him.
Previously, Zhang Lexuan had just watched from the side. She had also said she would watch before coming this time, but after arriving, she changed her mind and decided to be their sparring opponent.
She wanted him and Jiang Nannan to team up against her, as this might have a better tempering effect.
Zhang Lexuan would suppress her cultivation to the level of a Soul Grandmaster, only using her first two Soul Rings.
Zhang Lexuan smiled without speaking, just gesturing for Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan to make their move.
Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously with great tacit agreement.
Shi Yu disappeared from his original spot, and Jiang Nannan quickly ran forward, her speed very fast.
Shi Yu appeared to Zhang Lexuan's left, not behind her.
Generally, after seeing his Naruto's Instant Transmission, the focus of vigilance is the rear, which is the most classic position for a sudden attack.
When he first appeared, he didn't choose the rear, but the left side.
He appeared two to three meters away from Zhang Lexuan, not daring to get too close.
He punched out, and the power of Space transformed into a fist that struck out.
Zhang Lexuan also didn't sense his presence on the left in advance; she reacted based on her quick reflexes.
Moonlight scattered over and collided with the Space fist, dispersing it.
Shi Yu was inwardly startled and quickly used Naruto's Instant Transmission to disappear from his original spot, not giving Zhang Lexuan an opportunity for a follow-up attack.
Shi Yu reappeared in another direction, also mobilizing the power of Space to attack.
He was still quickly reacted to and blocked by Zhang Lexuan.
This made Shi Yu feel pressured; Zhang Lexuan's reaction was much faster than Jiang Nannan, who was a Soul Grandmaster.
Zhang Lexuan dissolved Shi Yu's attacks one by one and also tried to attack proactively, but Shi Yu dodged all of them.
Zhang Lexuan appeared calm on the surface, but she was inwardly surprised.
She didn't feel it much when watching from the side before, but when she tried to face Shi Yu herself, she felt a headache.
The other party couldn't do anything to her, but she also found it difficult to hurt him; they could only keep wearing each other down like this.
Relying solely on Soul Grandmaster level cultivation was still difficult to restrict the other party's unreasonable Naruto's Instant Transmission.
Jiang Nannan also attacked after Shi Yu had attacked three times, engaging in close combat with Zhang Lexuan.
With Jiang Nannan helping to divert attention, Shi Yu's attacks on Zhang Lexuan also became a bit easier.
Zhang Lexuan was under pressure, but only pressure; she wasn't going to be defeated by the two of them teaming up.
She fought one against two without falling into a disadvantage, defending and attacking, showing extremely strong combat prowess.
The battle was intense and only ended when Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan ran out of strength.
Both were out of breath, their bodies had no strength left, and their Soul Power was almost depleted.
Zhang Lexuan was in better condition; she wasn't a true Soul Grandmaster, so her Soul Power wasn't so easily depleted.
After the two rested for a while, they began to discuss their problems.
Because she had personally sparred with them, she understood their issues more clearly.
Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan listened attentively, benefiting greatly from it.
Every day after this, Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan would spar and exchange pointers with Zhang Lexuan at noon.
Each time, they failed to force Zhang Lexuan to use more powerful strength.
But the pressure they put on Zhang Lexuan increased with each session.
Jiang Nannan was improving, and Shi Yu's progress was even greater, surprising Zhang Lexuan.
Unconsciously, the second semester of their first year came to an end, and a month-long holiday was about to begin.
On the first day of the holiday at noon, Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan sparred as usual with Zhang Lexuan, who had suppressed her cultivation.
Shi Yu had a special feeling today; the more he fought, the more excited he became, and the circulation of Soul Power within his body was exceptionally active.
Zhang Lexuan noticed Shi Yu's abnormality and was initially a little worried, but as she sensed further, she gradually understood his situation.
She had Jiang Nannan temporarily step aside, leaving Shi Yu to face her alone.
Shi Yu proactively attacked Zhang Lexuan, his entire aura rising steadily.
"Boom!" Zhang Lexuan and Shi Yu exchanged a palm strike, sending him retreating far back.
Shi Yu fell back in the air, feeling transparent, his Soul Power surging, and a certain barrier within his body suddenly shattered.
"I've broken through to rank 30!" Shi Yu exclaimed with great joy.
