Douluo Premium Survival Guide

"coming."

In the office, a slender, plump woman leaned lazily on a chair, her sleeves rolled up, and her white wrists exposed, which made her look somewhat capable.

"Ah."

Opposite her stood a young man, about 1.6 meters tall, with broken black hair, eyes like glass, and three-dimensional facial features that looked soft when he looked at the woman in front of him.

Time flies, and three years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

Facing Yan Ning's unblinking gaze, Xue Yao turned her head unnaturally, hiding the side of her face where the young man could not see it.

It turned out that there was a light red mark on half of the fair face, which was as long as a finger, making the originally perfect face obviously flawed.

Realizing that Yan Ning's eyes were not letting go of her, Xue Yao knocked on the table, took out a piece of paper with the seal of Notting College from the drawer, and slowly pushed it to the table.

Yan Ning glanced at it and folded the graduation certificate-like thing that she had applied for in advance.

"Where are you going?" Xue Yao asked.

Yan Ning pulled up a chair and sat down, "Tian Dou Royal Academy." As he spoke, he looked at the red mark on Xue Yao's face.

"..."

Xue Yao rolled her eyes angrily, a little helpless, but did not avoid it anymore, thinking: "It's the number one academy for advanced soul masters in the empire, and the recommendation letter from the dean is probably useless."

"Let's talk about it then."

"Don't think so simply. According to the process, you need a diploma from the Intermediate Soul Master Academy to be eligible for the test."

Yan Ning blinked and said, "What if someone sees that I am talented enough to make an exception."

Seeing Yan Ning's nonchalant look, Xue Yao was furious: "Why are you becoming more willful as you grow older? Where has that mature energy gone? Also, how old are you? Big cities are not as safe as Notting City. One day in You might have been kidnapped on the way..."

"Uh...it's not that exaggerated."

"Exaggerated?" Xue Yao's eyes widened, she immediately sat up straight and slapped the desk with her palm, "There are even more exaggerated ones..."

I'm only five years younger than you... Yan Ning sighed inwardly, finally not staring at Xue Yao's face, his twinkling eyes wandering around the office.

……a long time.

The small office became silent as Xue Yao stopped talking.

Yan Ning poured a glass of warm water and approached with a flattering look on his face: "Thank you for your hard work. Come and drink some water to moisten your throat."

Xue Yao couldn't stand it anymore because of her arrogant look. She took the cup and said with a smile: "Get away."

As he said that, a hand that quietly enlarged suddenly appeared in his eyes. The next moment, his face suddenly became cold. Xue Yao was stunned and suddenly grabbed the hand that Yan Ning was rubbing: "What are you doing!"

The daring Yan Ning remained calm even if he was caught. When he heard this, he asked calmly: "The dean was clearly there at the beginning, why did you insist on following him?"

"I'm free!" Xue Yao snorted coldly, shook off Yan Ning's hand, and leaned back in the chair.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yan Ning sat back down again.

Xue Yao smoothed her hair to cover her hot earlobes, took out a cyan ring and put it on the table. She looked out the window and said, "Put it on and let's go."

"It's still early." Yan Ning replied casually, picked up the ring on the table, thought about it, put it on her ring finger, and started playing with it seriously.

The ring is light green, imprinted with sickle-shaped patterns, and its shape is very simple.

"It's not for playing, it's a soul guide for storage." Xue Yao couldn't help but speak, and then curled her lips, "Although it's only the cheapest 1 cubic meter."

Yan Ning stopped and looked at her expressionlessly.

Xue Yao originally thought that Yan Ning would be very happy, but she didn't expect that Yan Ning's eyes became strange, a little... resentful?

Somewhat unable to bear Yan Ning's strange gaze, Xue Yao changed the subject and said, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Xiao Wu and the others?"

"No need."

Yan Ning rubbed the ring on her ring finger, stood up and said, "Next time we see you, I will make it disappear."

After a pause, he added, "It won't be long."

Then he opened the door and walked out.

Click.

The door is closed.

"Um…"

……

Through the car window, the moving figures turned the simple and deep blue-black building into a rolling mural. Yan Ning did not look out and let the small frame automatically frame the view.

I have to leave this place where I have lived for four years.

Yan Ning couldn't remember whether she had ever thought about how she would feel when this day came.

But if he had thought about it, Yan Ning felt that it must be different from how he felt at the moment.

He discovered that in this unfamiliar place, an invisible thread had grown out of nowhere. One end of the thread was connected to his heart. The carriage was getting further and further away, and the thread was getting tighter and tighter.

……

Tiandou City is located in the center of the five provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire.

Its specialness can be seen from its geographical location alone. As the capital of the empire, Tiandou City far exceeds other cities in terms of population base, political economy, and prosperity.

This is a place that all young people dream of coming to, not only because it is home to the Tiandou Royal Academy, which is the most famous in the Tiandou Empire, but also because here there are many nobles and high-level soul masters everywhere, and it is full of opportunities to climb up.

North of Tiandou City, on the bustling streets.

A neatly dressed young man looked around with interest, as if he had just walked out of a remote place, but the passers-by could not feel any contempt for him.

He has a delicate face and fair skin. Although his eyes are curious, when you look directly into the boy's eyes, you will find a cold temperament.Moreover, there was no luggage on his hands, so no one would think that this child was a country bumpkin.

"The ancient capital seems to have been outclassed..."

After wandering around casually for a while, Yan Ning smacked his lips twice and took out a map to check. Soon, Yan Ning frowned. He only saw from the map that the Tiandou Royal Academy was in the south of Tiandou City.

"...Let's continue to navigate."

Putting away the map, Yan Ning prepared to find a carriage.

Unexpectedly, he would be targeted the next moment.

"Brother, where do you need to go? Ten years of galloping and leopard driving, a thousand miles in one day!"

He was a lean man with a smile on his face. Yan Ning glanced at the two gale leopards he mentioned. They had strong limbs and soft fur, but they just looked rough.

Ignoring the so-called thousand-mile day, Yan Ning asked: "Do you know where Tiandou Royal Academy is?"

The lean man became energetic and immediately continued: "Towards the south of the city, if you don't use it for an hour, the starting price is 10 copper soul coins."

With that said, the man opened the curtain enthusiastically.

One carriage ride was worth 1/10 of the salary of a working-study student at Notting College. Yan Ning, who had been on the road for several days, didn't think it was expensive.

The closer you are to the capital of the empire, the higher the consumption, and you have adapted to it. On the contrary, the person in front of you is very transparent in doing business. Yan Ning has a good sense, so he got on the carriage without hesitation. Oh, it is a leopard carriage.

As soon as Yan Ning got in the car, she smelled a faint fragrance. When she lowered her head, she discovered that there was a small incense burner inside the simple car.

Yan Ning looked at it for a while and suddenly sighed.

Lifting the curtain of the window, Yan Ning's eyes were a little complicated as she thought of what Xue Yao had told her.

……

"Brother, we're here, brother..."

The lean man opened the curtain and called out to the sleeping boy several times, but received no response and soon became quiet. When he opened the curtain again, he actually had a rope in his hand.

After being tied up in twos and twos, the man carried the sleeping boy into a room.

thump!

"you!"

The person who fell to the ground was not Yan Ning, who should have been sleeping, but a lean man. He looked frightened: "You were not knocked out?!"

Yan Ning easily broke away from the ropes on his body, with a stern expression on his face:

"First of all, you're going to die, and also, let's start telling the story."
