Chapter 145: Appearance Change! Xiao Yan's Experiences!

When Xiao Ze saw that familiar Tree of Death, he finally sighed in relief. After traveling nonstop, even he felt somewhat tired. He had given the elder's badge to Xiao Yan and then put on the Jia Nan Academy uniform before heading towards Peace City.

The patrol team in Peace City was surprised to see the Jia Nan Academy uniform, as the academy had specific vacation times and rarely saw a student outside those periods or training in the Black-Corner Domain. One of the patrol team captains, seeing Xiao Ze's face, exclaimed:

"Elder Xiao?"

Xiao Ze nodded. It turned out to be the same captain he had encountered when he left the academy with Xiao Yi Xian.

"I've finished my business and need to return to the academy. Is there anything I need to register?"

"No, no need. Do you need us to arrange a flying beast?"

"No, thank you."

Xiao Ze politely declined and unfolded his energy wings to head at full speed to Jia Nan City. The patrol members watched him with admiration as he left.

Once in Jia Nan City, Xiao Ze had difficulties finding his family. He decided to return to the academy to look for Xiao Yi Xian instead. In a canyon, Xiao Ze channeled his battle energy, revealing a large silver gate. Previously, he needed the vice principal Hu Qian's help to enter, but now he could do it by himself.

"Who dares to enter without permission?" a stern, elderly voice was heard.

"Elder Lin, long time no see," said Xiao Ze with a smile and a respectful gesture.

"Xiao Ze? Have you returned from your training?" Elder Lin, upon seeing him, changed his alert attitude to a friendly smile, approaching to pat him on the shoulder.

"Yes, I've had some gains this time," responded Xiao Ze with a laugh.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Ze headed inside the academy, while Elder Lin watched him with a complex expression. It had been a short time, and Xiao Ze had already surpassed him, so much so that he couldn't even discern his power level.

On the sixth floor of the Qi Refinement Tower, in Training Room Number One, Xiao Ze and Xiao Yi Xian had a deep session of exchanging poisonous energy. Both felt revitalized, as if they had taken a thermal bath.

"Xiao Yi Xian, where have you set up my family? I'd like to visit them," asked Xiao Ze.

"I'll take you," said Xiao Yi Xian, standing up. This exchange session had further improved her strength.

Xiao Ze didn't need to ask the principal elder for permission to leave the academy. Together, they headed to a remote corner of Jia Nan City, where they found his family, now operating as the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

Xiao Ze glanced at the group's sign and nodded in satisfaction. His family had followed his instructions to keep a low profile. Upon learning of Xiao Ze's return, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li were very pleased.

"Ze'er, although the family is in hiding, we are more prosperous than in Wu Tan City, and the strength of our members has increased a lot," said Xiao Zhan, beaming with joy.

"I've led some members and reorganized the Mo Tie Mercenary Group as you suggested," added Xiao Ding, visibly excited.

"Yes, now that the group is visible and the family hidden, we should be safe from some risks," said Xiao Li, with a slight aura of violence in his demeanor. "This Black-Corner Domain suits me well; it's as if it was made for me."

During the conversation, Xiao Ze listened attentively and nodded in approval. The family had changed their appearance, and with caution, they shouldn't have any problems.

"These are some of the resources I've obtained recently. Use them for the family's development," said Xiao Ze, placing several storage bags on the table.

Xiao Zhan and the others accepted silently, feeling a bit embarrassed for depending so much on Xiao Ze.

"By the way, brothers, if you have the chance, help me collect the materials on this list. They are for me," he said, handing them a list with the ingredients to make the Extreme Yang Pill.

"Once the pill is made, it can protect the family in times of crisis. Its power is equivalent to the self-destruction of a powerful Dou Huang."

His words surprised the three men.

"A pill with such power?" said Xiao Ding, picking up the list and examining it carefully. "It will be difficult to gather these materials, especially this so-called Yang Gold."

"Do your best. I'll also try to find the materials. With this pill, the family won't be so vulnerable," encouraged Xiao Ze.

Then he asked, curious:

"Has my third brother returned? He said he would come to Jia Nan Academy."

The three shook their heads. Xiao Yan couldn't look for the family in the city since they were in hiding.

"Then, when there's a vacation, I'll bring my third brother back to the family."

Xiao Ze spent a day with them, pointing out possible risks and suggesting solutions. He also encouraged Qing Lin, who was training hard, and the young girl felt motivated for a long time.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan had arrived at Jia Nan Academy, escorted by vice principal Hu Qian, who was surprised to meet his brother. As a "transfer student," it wasn't unusual to see someone like Xiao Yan at the academy, which had over a thousand students. Besides the fifty students who entered each year, there were others who came through the alchemy department, the patrol team, and the elders.

However, Xiao Yan felt overwhelmed by the attention, especially when Hu Qian constantly praised him and the students and elders treated him with great respect due to his relationship with Xiao Ze.

During his time at the academy, Xiao Yan learned of Xiao Ze's impressive feats, who had described his life there as peaceful. Discovering the truth, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile, seeing that his younger brother had also experienced extraordinary adventures at the academy.
