Night soon fell once again.
In the Stars Room of the Yellow Dragon Temple, Fang Li had just finished his shower, dressed in comfortable home clothes, with a towel draped around his neck as he stepped out of the bathroom.
"This place has completely turned into my dormitory," He mused.
The Stars Room was designed to enhance the control of Prana.
Anyone who entered it, even with the slightest deviation in their internal Prana operation, would be met with a sudden increase in gravity. In severe cases, like Fang Li's first experience, one could be pressed to the ground and unable to get back up.
Such a place was absolutely unsuitable for living.
No one wants to be overwhelmed by gravity at any moment, right?
Not to mention that living here would mean having to control the flow of Prana even in sleep, making the body instinctively remember the sensation of flowing, just like breathing.
How difficult that is to achieve goes without saying.
However, Fang Li could now accomplish this with ease.
This was the result of continuous and relentless training.
So, Fang Li truly treated the Stars Room as his dormitory in Jie Long.
It seemed Fan Xinglou had no objections to this arrangement, even finding it amusing, allowing Fang Li to use the Stars Room as his exclusive space.
"Besides, I haven't had a rigorous training session in a long time."
In the past, Fang Li would undergo daily training courses arranged by Fan Xinglou, systematically honing his skills.
But after leaving that world, Fang Li no longer had such opportunities.
"The many rooms in the Yellow Dragon Temple connect to different places; behind each door is a brand new world, some of which are extremely dangerous— one misstep could cost you your life."
Yet, all these rooms had been utilized by Fan Xinglou for training Fang Li, allowing him to undergo a fulfilling and intense regimen in the past.
After several days, Fang Li resumed his training today, sweating profusely for the first time in a while.
"Even though I'm back to rest, daily training shouldn't count against that, right?"
Fang Li chuckled as he sat on the bed and began to adjust his breathing.
Just as he was about to refine his Prana, a notification window suddenly flashed in front of him.
It was a phone call.
The name of the caller was too familiar to be mistaken.
With a slight smile, Fang Li reached out and pressed the answer button.
The face that appeared in the window was none other than the world's top idol.
"At this hour, your training should just be wrapping up, right?"
Sylvie smiled, seemingly having predicted Fang Li's actions throughout the day.
"It's been so long since you last went back. Did you get scolded by Xinglou?"
As the Student Council president, Sylvie must be familiar with Fan Xinglou, right?
Fang Li shrugged and replied, "I wasn't scolded, but there was a moment when it nearly turned into a fight."
"A fight?" Sylvie looked surprised and asked, "Why?"
"Because my Master is a standard battle maniac. For promising disciples, how can she not whip them into shape?" Fang Li spread his hands and said, "Fortunately, it didn't escalate to that point. Otherwise, you might not be seeing the complete me right now."
"Is it really that dangerous?" Sylvie said somewhat skeptically. "It shouldn't turn out like that, right?"
"You don't understand my Master," Fang Li smiled slightly and said, "If it's truly necessary, she definitely wouldn't hold back."
This was also why Fang Li wouldn't hold back himself.
Facing a fully unleashed Fan Xinglou, even the current Fang Li had no guarantee of victory.
No matter how you look at it, Fan Xinglou is not just a martial arts Grandmaster; she is also adept at using various magical abilities.
For instance, today, when she sensed Fang Li's return, she immediately pulled him into the audience room of the Yellow Dragon Temple as if by teleportation. That was an application of the famous Ground Shrink technique.
Faced with such an ability, no matter how fast Fang Li was, he wouldn't be able to catch up.
Moreover, since Fan Xinglou is a Grandmaster in martial arts, her close combat abilities would definitely not be weaker than Fang Li's. If he didn't activate the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li would likely find it hard to gain the upper hand.
"This isn't even Master at her peak," Fang Li remarked. "If she were at her peak, she would probably be even stronger."
After all, Fan Xinglou's physical age is only nine years old and will soon turn ten.
Her body has immense potential that has yet to be fully tapped.
"I know Xinglou is strong," Sylvie sighed. "So it's better not to compare yourself with her."
Even Sylvie, who secured second place in the last "Wang Long Festa," theoretically the second strongest student in Asterisk City, acknowledged this.
One can only imagine the level of deterrence Fan Xinglou represents among the various academies.
"Let's not dwell on that anymore." Sylvie seemed to shift her mood, her gaze fixed intently on Fang Li as if she were scrutinizing him. "You haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"
"Who would dare?" Fang Li chuckled. "The School Festival, right? I've already heard about it from Senior Brother Zhao."
The so-called School Festival, as the name suggests, is akin to an open day at a typical school.
During the School Festival, students from various academies organize a variety of activities, both as classes and individuals, creating a lively atmosphere.
At that time, all academies open their doors to the public, allowing even outside visitors to freely participate in various activities.
Originally, the School Festival was scheduled for spring.
This timing was chosen because the annual Festas occur in the other three seasons.
The "Phoenix Festa" takes place in summer.
The "Gryphon Festa" is held in autumn.
The "Wang Long Festa" occurs in winter.
Since the Festa is the most significant event in the Asterisk City, the School Festival is held in spring when there are no other Festas.
"But this year, due to a certain world-famous idol making a sensational declaration during a public interview, it caused a huge uproar and delayed the School Festival until autumn," Fang Li said with a smile, looking at Sylvie. "What do you think about it, my Diva?"
"That sort of thing doesn't matter," Sylvie replied, her gaze shifting slightly and her tone somewhat willful. "In any case, the School Festival is less than a week away, and it will last for three days. I'll be taking those three days off."
What a roundabout way to say it.
In short, she hopes Fang Li will accompany her, right?
"Well, I'm not uninterested."
Fang Li smiled suddenly.
"I've been wanting to check out other academies for a long time."
