"Wait, let me process this~"
Hu Liena rubbed her temples and spoke.
After a while, having confirmed that she was no longer in Hell Road and that she could feel the emergence of domain power within her Charming Fox martial soul, Hu Liena couldn't help but ask:
"What exactly happened?"
Shui Bing'er replied,
"After entering Hell Road, Mu Yang and I woke up before you. The difficulty of Hell Road wasn't too high, so we cleared it quickly, and…"
"So you carried me through it!"
Mu Yang took over the conversation.
Hu Liena: "…"
This… The hardest trial of the entire training journey… and she won without even lifting a finger?
After a brief silence, Hu Liena accepted the reality of her effortless victory.
She then extended an invitation,
"Mu Yang, Bing'er, would you both be willing to join Spirit Hall? I can introduce you to my teacher."
Though she felt a bit unwilling, Hu Liena knew that both Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er were stronger than her, and they were even younger than her.
As a member of Spirit Hall, if possible, she truly hoped they would join.
Otherwise, if they ever stood against Spirit Hall in the future, Hu Liena couldn't imagine what kind of formidable opponents they would become.
"We'll talk about it another time~"
Waving his hand dismissively, Mu Yang left with Shui Bing'er.
Watching the two depart, Hu Liena opened her mouth but ultimately couldn't find the words to say.
In the end, she sighed helplessly and shook her head.
Three days later, in Heaven Dou City.
At the heart of the city's most bustling district, stood an elegant five-story building.
The architecture had a traditional charm, and above its main entrance, a plaque bore two large characters:
"Moon Pavilion"
The people coming and going from Moon Pavilion were not many, but it was clear that every man and woman who entered was either dressed in luxurious attire or possessed an extraordinary temperament.
Afternoon.
On the street outside Moon Pavilion, a young man and woman with remarkable appearances walked towards the building.
The young man had handsome and striking features, while the young woman had an elegant figure and a beautiful face, attracting the attention of passersby.
However, due to the cold and chilling aura radiating from them, let alone approaching to speak, the pedestrians instinctively avoided them, moving aside to avoid trouble.
"We're here!"
Stopping just outside Moon Pavilion's entrance, Mu Yang spoke.
"Moon Pavilion? If I remember correctly, my aunt once mentioned that this place is an Imperial Court Etiquette Academy, right?"
Staring at the plaque above the building's main entrance, Shui Bing'er sounded uncertain.
Could there really be someone here who could help her and Mu Yang fully master the power of the Killing God Domain?
"The master of Moon Pavilion possesses domain power. While her domain isn't meant for combat, it has the ability to purify the mind."
Seeing the doubt in Shui Bing'er's eyes, Mu Yang explained.
"Domain power? Could it be that the master of Moon pavilion is also a Douluo?"
Shui Bing'er asked in surprise.
Domain power was not something an ordinary Soul Master could possess. In her impression, those who had domains were either prodigies or top-tier experts. Since the Master of Moon Pavilion was certainly not a young Soul Master of their generation, she must naturally be an expert.
"That's not the case. From what I know, Moon Pavilion's Master was born with a variant martial soul that naturally granted her this innate domain."
"Oh, and by the way, she isn't even a one-ring Soul Master. Once we enter Moon Pavilion, let's not bring this up. It wouldn't be good to touch on such a sore subject."
Shaking his head, Mu Yang lowered his voice and spoke softly.
"Is that even possible?"
Shui Bing'er's eyes widened in disbelief.
Domain power, something that even the strongest experts on the continent struggled to obtain—something that most Soul Masters hadn't even heard of—was actually possessed by Moon Pavilion's Master, someone who wasn't even a proper Soul Master?
Wasn't this far too absurd?
"Alright, let's go in. Since this Master is willing to teach the noble children, she likely wouldn't mind us joining as transfer students."
With that, Mu Yang led Shui Bing'er towards Yue Xuan's entrance.
Mu Yang wasn't worried that Tang Yuehua would turn them away.
In his view, Tang Yuehua had two main reasons for establishing Moon Pavilion. First, it served as a base for the Clear Sky Sect in the outside world, allowing them to gather intelligence on the continent's Soul Masters in preparation for the sect's future reemergence.
Second,Moon Pavilion functioned as an Imperial Court Etiquette Academy, acting as a bridge to maintain good relations with the Heaven Dou Empire.
For someone like Tang Yuehua, it was only natural to befriend young prodigies like him and Shui Bing'er.
Of course, Mu Yang had no intention of owing a favor. Since Moon Pavilion was an etiquette academy, he and Shui Bing'er would simply pay tuition upon enrolling.
At Moon Pavilion entrance, two young men in green robes stood on either side of the doorway, seemingly serving as gatekeepers.
Upon seeing Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er approach, the two young men exchanged a hesitant glance before stepping forward with a bow to block their path.
"Apologies, but you two seem unfamiliar. May I ask what business brings you to Moon Pavilion?"
Although Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er were well-dressed and strikingly attractive, their pale complexions, icy gazes, and chilling aura made them seem anything but ordinary.
As guards, the two young men had no choice but to steel themselves and step in front of them.
After all, the students inside Moon Pavilion were all noble children of the empire. If anything happened, they would be held accountable.
Hmm…
In the eyes of these two guards, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er looked exactly like the type of notorious Evil Soul Masters who were wanted across the continent—and not just any Evil Soul Masters, but ones who had just committed a major crime.
Otherwise, where would they have acquired such a terrifying aura of slaughter?
"What? We're not allowed to enter?"
Mu Yang's voice turned cold.
"Uh… N-no, that's not it… It's just—"
The young man on the left stammered awkwardly.
He obviously couldn't outright say: "You two look like notorious criminals. This place doesn't welcome you."
If he said that, things could escalate quickly.
If they weren't Evil Soul Masters, he would have offended a guest.
If they were Evil Soul Masters, then his life was as good as over.
After all, those who radiated such an intense murderous aura were never ordinary people—and he and his fellow guard were merely weak two-ring Soul Masters.
Mu Yang glanced at the two young guards but didn't bother making a fuss. He simply gestured for Shui Bing'er to follow and strode into Moon Pavilion without another word.
Seeing this, the two young men could only follow after them nervously.
The moment they stepped inside, a faint and refreshing fragrance filled the air.
The shadow wall was made of the finest boxwood, and in front of it stood two exotic orchids, each three meters tall and exuding a subtle fragrance.
Although they had only just entered Moon Pavilion, it felt as though they had stepped into a tranquil world, separate from the chaotic outside.
Passing beyond the shadow wall, they arrived at a spacious first-floor hall.
The floor was laid with large gray tiles, each a meter wide, and the furniture was crafted from expensive and exquisite wood.
At the front of the hall, behind a wide desk, several elegantly dressed yet modest-looking young women were standing together, engaged in soft conversation.
The arrival of Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er immediately caught their attention.
The leading young woman frowned, her expression darkening as she glanced at the two young guards who had let them in.
Her meaning was obvious:
These two don't look like decent people. You actually let them in?
