Hongshan Academy was on holiday, and the once bustling campus was now exceptionally quiet.
"Yang, when you go to Eastsea City for school, you must be very careful and pay attention to your safety," his mother, Lin Mengxi, gently reminded him, her eyes filled with reluctance and concern.
Fang Yang nodded obediently, "Mom, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
His mother, Lin Mengxi, suddenly remembered something and frowned, "Oh, right, Yang, do you have enough money? Prices are high in Eastsea City..."
"It's enough. With the ten million federal currency given by Tower Master Liu Yang and an additional one million from the Dean, it's all saved in my card," Fang Yang said.
As a Core Disciple of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, Fang Yang's Soul Spirit was provided free of charge by the organization; he didn't spend a single federal currency.
Hearing this, his mother, Lin Mengxi's expression softened, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
She turned and took out an exquisite blue box from her bag, opening it to reveal two small Soul Guidance Communicators.
"Wow!"
Fang Yang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "Mom, did you get a bonus? These are the latest model Soul Guidance Communicators!"
The Soul Guidance Communicators were the latest model, designed as wristbands, about two fingers wide, which could be worn directly on the wrist for easy carrying and use.
Just one Soul Guidance Communicator alone was worth tens of thousands of federal currency, not including call charges.
His mother, Lin Mengxi, tapped Fang Yang's head and put one of the communicators on his wrist, "I originally planned to give you living expenses, but since you have money, I'll give you this instead. I'll keep the other one, so I can contact you anytime."
The metal wristband automatically conformed to the panel, giving off a slightly cool sensation.
Fang Yang suddenly spread his arms and gave his mother, Lin Mengxi, a big hug, his voice muffled against her shoulder, "Thank you, Mom! I love you!"
His mother, Lin Mengxi, was stunned for a moment, her eyes welling up. She gently patted his back and reminded him, "Silly child, the number is already saved in the communicator. Call me anytime you miss me."
Finally, Fang Yang let go and looked at her seriously, "Mom, when I'm not home, you must also take good care of yourself."
"Mm, alright..."
...
Eastsea City!
The second-largest city on the Eastsea coast of the Sun Moon Federation, it was also an important port, a center for marine transportation, and a city for marine resource development.
Thanks to its unique geographical location and rich marine resources, this city supported over three million people and was very prosperous.
In addition, Eastsea City also had a long history, and its urban appearance still maintained an ancient style.
In recent centuries, the Sun Moon Federation had paid particular attention to the protection of ancient buildings. Therefore, in this ancient city, many thousand-year-old structures could be seen.
Eastsea City Soul Guidance Train Station.
With a long whistle, a dark blue Soul Guidance Train slowly pulled into the platform. After the train came to a complete stop, the doors slowly opened, and passengers poured out like a tide.
The platform immediately became lively, with travelers dragging suitcases, vendors carrying large and small bags, and staff holding pick-up signs, crowding the entire platform.
Among the bustling crowd, two boys, about nine years old, stood out.
One had black hair and black eyes with a handsome face, while the other had smooth black hair and bright, spirited eyes.
They were Fang Yang and Tang Wulin, who were visiting this coastal city for the first time.
"Wu Lin, there are too many people here, I can't even tell which way is which," Fang Yang stood on tiptoe and peered around, but only saw a dense sea of heads.
Tang Wulin wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I can't find a sign either. How about we go ask that law enforcement officer over there?"
As the two spoke, Fang Yang noticed a girl with light blue twin ponytails standing not far away. The girl seemed to be about their age.
"Wu Lin, wait here, I'll go ask her."
Fang Yang said, then quickly walked forward, "Hello, do you know where the Eastsea Academy shuttle bus departs from?"
The girl with light blue twin ponytails turned at his words, revealing an exquisite and extremely beautiful face.
When she saw Fang Yang's face, her eyes lit up slightly, "Are you going to Eastsea Academy? My brother is in the second year of the advanced department, and I'm going there too. Come with me, I'll take you there."
"Thank you so much!"
Fang Yang showed a brilliant smile, then turned and waved, calling out clearly, "Wu Lin, come over here!"
Tang Wulin jogged over, and when he saw the girl with light blue twin ponytails standing beside Fang Yang, a hint of curiosity flashed in his bright eyes, "Fang Yang, this is..."
The girl's light blue twin ponytails swayed gently as she turned her head.
She extended her hand proactively, "Hello, my name is Xu Xiaoyan."
"Hello, I'm Fang Yang, and this is my good friend Tang Wulin," Fang Yang shook her hand and introduced them.
As his words fell, Fang Yang felt a shock in his heart. He had not expected that a random passerby girl he asked would turn out to be Xu Xiaoyan from the original story.
However, Fang Yang quickly adjusted his expression, not letting his inner shock show.
Xu Xiaoyan seemed to notice something and winked playfully, "Let's go, the shuttle bus stop is just ahead."
Led by Xu Xiaoyan, the three skillfully weaved through the crowd.
Soon, they appeared at a spot where a sign stood, bearing the four large characters "Eastsea Academy."
Below the sign were tables and chairs, behind which sat several young men and women, dressed in blue sportswear, appearing to be seventeen or eighteen years old.
Among them, one tall and upright young man was particularly eye-catching. He had light blue hair, identical to Xu Xiaoyan's, but exuded a completely different Aura.
His gaze swept over them, and his voice carried a question, "Xiao Yan? What are you doing here?"
"Brother, I..." Xu Xiaoyan was about to explain when she was interrupted by the young man.
Xu Xiaoyu crossed his arms, his gaze sweeping over Fang Yang and Tang Wulin, his voice cold, "You two, what is your purpose in approaching my sister?"
Before he finished speaking, three spirit rings rose from beneath his feet - yellow, yellow, purple.
It was a three-turn... Spirit Elder Realm!
Tang Wulin was forced back half a step by this pressure, his face slightly pale.
Fang Yang remained silent, his expression calm. He simply took a slight step forward.
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Xiaoyu's eyes.
As he moved, two deep purple spirit rings slowly emerged, like two purple moons circulating around him.
"Thousand... year spirit rings?!"
"And two of them?!"
The surrounding young men and women gasped in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.
Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth, her light blue eyes wide with shock.
As the Young Miss of the Eastsea Xu family, although she didn't like to Cultivate, she understood what two thousand-year spirit rings meant.
Exceptional talent!
Xu Xiaoyu's pupils contracted slightly. He had originally thought that his Spirit Elder-level Aura would be enough to make these two new students honestly confess.
But at this moment, he was surprised to find that he couldn't suppress the young man with only two spirit rings in terms of Aura.
The Aura emanating from the other party vaguely carried a power that made his heart tremble.
