Chapter Thirty: Proud Snow Was Remembered

  Pride was remembered on the snow

  As the first great power of the Zhongzhou continent, the Daqian Empire has thousands of cities, among which the most prosperous is the Imperial City, Fawangcheng.

  Compared with the imperial city, Tianyuan City is simply a large mountain villa.

  Moreover, within the Imperial City, there are numerous academies and aristocratic families, with countless masters. It is a world of strongmen, as well as a place full of opportunities.

  Zhou Yuan wants to go there, that is, he wants to find a powerful college there and constantly improve his strength. The cultivation of a law master requires great effort every step of the way, and also needs a lot of opportunities, otherwise it will not be possible to reach a very high level.

  If one relies solely on their own cultivation, they will probably reach the limit at the first two layers of the Law Enforcement Realm and it is impossible to reach the Golden Elixir Realm like Zhou Tianchen.

  But if that's the case, then the achievement is too small, which is obviously not what Zhou Yuan wants. For some reason, Zhou Yuan has a crazy obsession with power and wants to one day reach the pinnacle of the Law Master and become one of the few people standing at the top of all living beings.

  So he wanted to enter a college, only in this way can he learn more advanced magic and his power will be improved faster, with higher achievements.

  "Feng Ao Xue Jing said, 'You want to go to the Imperial City? It will take at least seven days to get there, and it's a long and treacherous journey. Are you sure you want to go? Moreover, with your current strength, although you are considered a master, in the Imperial City of Fa Wang Cheng, you would be just an ordinary person. What do you plan to do by going there? Why not hide with me and cultivate quietly until our powers grow stronger, then we can go seek revenge against our enemies!!'"

  He shook his head, "No one to guide us, our strength is hard to improve. I've thought about it, if we continue to cultivate on our own, we won't be able to get new techniques and at most, our strength will only reach the level of spell casting. As for how to condense dan, reaching the third stage of the spell casting realm, the golden dan realm, it's probably a distant dream. And our enemies, those people, are at least at the level of void traversal, and behind them, there must be even more powerful existences. We're definitely not their match."

  "So you mean..."

  "Go to the Imperial City, where there are several colleges. We choose one and go in to study advanced magic. With a college as our backing, our cultivation can also make rapid progress!!!"

  "To enter the academy, one must go through a rigorous examination. Only those who pass the exam have a chance to get in! I heard that the three strongest academies in the entire Daqian Empire are all located in Fawang City, with Zhenwu Academy and Fawang Academy being two of them, while Tongtian Academy is located within another major city called Tongtian City. The admission standards for these three academies are extremely high, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to pass the assessment."

  Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I'm already at the Magical Boundary stage, can't I even pass the entrance exam?"

  Feng Ao Xue nodded and said, "That's also true. If you reach the peak of the ordinary flesh realm and achieve a state where your vital energy is like the ebb and flow of the sun and moon, you can pass the test successfully. You must be fine, since you've already made up your mind. In that case, I'll accompany you there."

  Zhou Yuandao said, "Alright, let's set off now. Tianyuan City has been destroyed and we have nowhere else to go."

  As they spoke of the destruction of Tianyuan City, both of their faces revealed a deep sadness.

  With a deep sorrow, the two of them headed north, in the direction of Huang Cheng Fawang City.

  Time flies, and the two have been walking for three days. In these three days, they have passed through more than thirty cities. Because both of them are very powerful, with abundant energy and vitality, apart from normal eating and drinking, they basically keep rushing on the road all the time. When they get tired, they practice a little to boost their spirit and energy to the top, so that the feeling of fatigue completely disappears.

  These three days, the two of them can be said to have broadened their horizons. Previously, they had never left Tianyuan City. In these three days, they passed through more than 30 cities and saw all sorts of customs and practices in each city.

  "Snow, just ahead is the fortieth city, I wonder what differences there are in the living habits of the people here compared to those in Tianyuan City!!"

  The two walked forward, a long way apart, and soon they saw the name of this city - Dingyuan City.

  Two men walked to the city gate, and two guards suddenly drew their swords and blocked them. "Halt! Who are you? Why enter the city? What time will you leave?"

  "We come from the distant Tianyuan City and are headed to the Imperial City. We will leave the city after eating and drinking normally, and we won't stay!!" Zhou Yuan answered truthfully. In the past, among the thirty or so cities, there were many like Dingyuan City, with strict guards who would interrogate everyone entering the city.

  One of the guards looked at Feng Ao Xue and was immediately attracted to her stunning beauty, revealing a lustful gaze, and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva. However, in the blink of an eye, his lustful gaze disappeared, "Hmmm, Tianyuan City, we haven't heard of it before. But recently, our city lord said that we need to strictly inspect people entering and leaving the city. For those with unknown backgrounds, we need to be extra cautious!!!"

  Zhou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed, although the guard's expression changed quickly, his lewd and sinister gaze was still caught by Zhou Yuan. Apparently, the leader's strict inspection was just an excuse, they had evil intentions.

  "Sir, isn't the search unnecessary? My sister is a lady, and it's really inconvenient to be searched!!" Zhou Yuan said in a cold tone. Although he wanted to hit the guard, he knew that if he did, it would be like stirring up a hornet's nest, and more guards would come, making it difficult for them to leave.

  The guard's eyes widened at Zhou Yuan's words, "I said search, so search! What nonsense are you spouting? If we don't search, then there's no need to enter the city, take a detour!!!"

  Feng Ao Xue immediately flew into a rage, her hand raised and slapped the guard's face, "You scoundrel, dare to try to control this young lady? How many lives do you have?"

  The guard was suddenly slapped in the face by the wind and snow, and he was stunned. He didn't expect that in Dingyuan City, there would still be someone who dared to hit him. However, the next moment, he came back to his senses, with anger all over his face.

  "You dare to hit me? You'll never leave this place alive today! However, if you entertain me well, I might consider letting you go!!!"

  Bang!

  Another crisp sound, and the guard was slapped in the face by the wind again. If the guard had not reacted quickly just now, then this time, he felt that his opponent's hand was as fast as lightning, and he didn't even have time to react before a burning pain spread across his face.

  This guardian, no matter how stupid he is, should understand that the opponent's strength is too strong and not something he can compare to. After all, he is a master of the Blood Aperture Realm, but when the opponent strikes, he doesn't even have time to react. In that case, the opponent's strength is at least at the peak of the Fleshly Body Realm, or perhaps even has achieved Spiritual Sense Realm cultivation.

  He suddenly felt a deep sense of dread towards Feng Ao Xue, but he was the leader here, and with so many people watching, if he lost face now, he would likely become a laughing stock for a long time to come, and his prestige would suffer a severe blow.

  So he made a decision that no matter how big the disturbance was today, he had to take down these two people, otherwise, losing face today would be a huge loss.

  "Go and call people, call more people over, there's a disturbance at the south gate!!!" The guard who was in charge immediately gave orders to another guard on the other side.

  In an instant, the guard ran out and in a short while, twenty-three guards rushed over. Their cultivation levels were not high, with most of them being at the Fu Organ level, only a few were at the Blood Aperture level.

  "Surround them!!!" With a single order from the leader, immediately, twenty or thirty people surrounded Zhou Yuan and Feng Ao Xue.
