Theon increased his speed, his footsteps striking the stone pavement in rapid succession. Suddenly, the girl leapt high into the air, her figure soaring effortlessly before vanishing from sight altogether.

He instinctively looked over his shoulder. The hair at the back of his neck instantly stood on end.

The girl had completely disappeared from her previous spot.

His eyes narrowed, and his footsteps faltered for the briefest fraction of a second.

Suddenly, a scorching blast of hot wind tore pas

    Xiao Lingxiao stared at Theon's rapidly receding back. His silhouette looked unbearably lonely beneath the canopy of trees, and an inexplicable pang of sadness tightened around her heart.Her fingers slowly curled into fists.The Divine Flame Whip resting in her right hand radiated waves of scorching heat, while the nails of her left hand dug so deeply into her palm that they broke the skin, drawing thin lines of blood.She drew a slow breath before taking several hesitant steps after him.Only after confirming that Theon had continued walking without looking back did she quietly retreat into the shadows once more.Xiao Lingxiao concealed her aura with a concealment technique, suppressing every trace of her presence before silently following behind him.Every step she took was careful, every breath restrained. Even the movement of her robes seemed to disappear into the forest.Suddenly, Theon stopped.His head slowly turned.Lingxiao's heart skipped violently.Without hesitation, she

    Xiao Lingxiao’s brows furrowed. Through the dense canopy of trees, she could just make out the silhouette of a lone building tucked away in the heart of the forest.“Why's he here? This looks like a forest. Unlike anything I've seen in the other parts of the academy.” Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully as she studied the path ahead.If she took only a few more steps, she would catch up to him.She let out a soft sigh and increased her speed.By then, Theon had already noticed he was being followed. Instead of hurrying away, he intentionally slowed his pace.“Theon Dravorn!” she called the instant she finally caught up to him.His footsteps gradually slowed before coming to a stop. “Why are you here?”Lingxiao quickly circled around him and stopped a few meters away, cutting off his path.She took a deep breath before staring directly into his eyes, her gaze filled with unmistakable sincerity.“I'm Xiao Lingxiao. If I say I can do it, I definitely will.”She extended an arm before him, str

    The girl’s face rapidly flushed crimson, her eyes widening with unrestrained shock.Theon’s nostrils flared ever so slightly as he struggled to cage the fury surging through his veins.Xiao Lingxiao soon snapped out of her daze. Her feet were already leaving the ground as Theon effortlessly lifted her into the air.Instead of fear, her eyes sparkled with unconcealed excitement. She immediately grabbed hold of Theon’s forearm with both hands and gave it a firm squeeze, her teeth gritting together as her fingers tightened.More and more people were beginning to gather.Theon's eyes flicked toward the figures hiding behind pillars and corridors. There were many of them. Far too many.A sharp pain exploded across his forearm, snapping him out of his thoughts. His fingers instinctively loosened around her neck.She landed gracefully on the ground without the slightest hint of panic.Theon's gaze immediately dropped to the reddened mark on his arm where she had used a finger technique to fo

    Theon increased his speed, his footsteps striking the stone pavement in rapid succession. Suddenly, the girl leapt high into the air, her figure soaring effortlessly before vanishing from sight altogether.He instinctively looked over his shoulder. The hair at the back of his neck instantly stood on end.The girl had completely disappeared from her previous spot.His eyes narrowed, and his footsteps faltered for the briefest fraction of a second.Suddenly, a scorching blast of hot wind tore past his ear, carrying an overwhelming pressure that made his skin prickle.Something descended from the sky and slammed into the ground several meters ahead of him with a deafening, earth-shaking thud.Theon skidded violently to a stop, the soles of his shoes carving long drag marks across the stone-paved courtyard.Dust exploded upward like a miniature storm, swallowing the surrounding area as jagged cracks spread rapidly across the neatly paved stones beneath the tremendous impact.The girl's lo

    Theon's gaze settled on the girl, studying her carefully.She didn't look older than seventeen. Long, flowing black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, interrupted only by a striking golden strand that shimmered brilliantly beneath the lantern light.She was dressed in exquisitely customized attire, every stitch radiating wealth and prestige. The ornaments decorating her hair glittered with spirit gemstones and precious jades. Just one of them could probably feed an entire battalion for quite a while without anyone complaining.His gaze eventually shifted to the whip resting casually in her hand.It looked familiar. He had definitely seen it somewhere before.“It's the Divine Flame Whip.” The system's mechanical voice echoed inside his mind. “One of the top ten divine weapons of Kaeros.”The Divine Flame Whip? Understanding dawned on Theon.Yes. He had indeed seen it before.Not in person, but inside one of the ancient journals compiling the continent's greatest divi

    His first destination was the bureau's refectory.After surviving three straight days of constant vigilance, scheming, and barely sleeping, his stomach had long begun protesting.He sat down, enjoyed a hearty meal without rushing for the first time in days, then quietly stuffed several buns, dried meat strips, and preserved fruits into his storage pouch.Old habits died hard.One never knew when another unforeseen situation would leave him without time to eat.Only after satisfying his hunger did he head toward the room that had originally been assigned to him.Ironically, he had barely used it.His purpose in returning wasn't to rest. Nor was it to collect anything he had left behind.He simply wanted to make absolutely certain nothing suspicious had somehow found its way inside.Over the past few days, he had learned one very valuable lesson.Never underestimate the creativity of people who want to ruin your life.Theon carefully inspected every corner of the room. Even beneath the
