Qian Mo pinched his chin, falling into thought. Ya Li advised, "My suggestion is to go and see the Star Luo Continent. Although the technology there is definitely not as good as the Federal, the Star Luo Continent still has its unique aspects compared to the Federal. Some resources there are not available in the Federal, which is also the reason why the Academy agreed to the Star Luo Empire's delegation. Studying there, with your strength, you can definitely obtain resources that cannot be found in the Federal."
"Furthermore, with strength, going out more, accepting challenges, and broadening your horizons will definitely be a significant improvement for you."
Qian Mo nodded slightly. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well take a trip to the Star Luo Continent. With good luck, he might even obtain rare resources.
Moreover, the Dragon Valley is also on the Star Luo Continent. Gu Yuena must go there to retrieve the dragon god core, and he himself also needs to make some arrangements for this.
Thinking of this, Qian Mo agreed immediately, "Okay, Ya Li, I will participate in the trip to the Star Luo Continent."
Gu Yuena also followed closely and said, "Then I'll go too."
Ya Li smiled with satisfaction, "Excellent. For this trip to the Star Luo Continent, the Academy will select suitable students from the first and second grades to form an exchange group. A Mo, you will be the leader of this exchange group."
"Alright, then it's settled," Qian Mo said calmly.
The first-year students' final exams successively ended, and they returned to the Academy one after another.
After the final exams ended, with the Academy's rewards and everyone's scores averaged out, no one in Class One of the first year was eliminated, which was a joyous outcome for all.
After Shen Yi gave a simple year-end summary, he announced the holiday.
All the students went back to their respective homes and mothers. Gu Yuena left mysteriously, and Qian Mo and Le Zheng'en returned to the Sacred Angel Family together.
During this holiday period, Qian Mo continued to focus on cultivating.
At the end of the holiday, he successfully broke through the fifty-level mark, becoming a true Spirit King.
Upon this breakthrough, Qian Mo unfurled ten pairs of pure white wings behind him. With the wings spread, they truly covered the sky and blocked out the sun.
Two Spirit Bones from the Angel Set directly broke through their seals and successfully integrated into his body, specifically the torso bone and the left leg bone.
Moreover, after becoming a Spirit King, he could now use the One-Word Battle Armor without any burden. His combat power was greatly enhanced again, and many Spirit Saint-level powerhouses might not necessarily gain an advantage against him even when using their Spirit True Body.
"My heavens, A Mo, how did you become so strong now!"
In the family training ground, after breaking through the fourth ring, Le Zhengyu had a sudden idea to find Qian Mo to test his current strength. The result was that he was pressed against the ground and rubbed by Qian Mo's single hand, and he truthfully said in a muffled voice.
"Cousin, your strength is not weak now either." Qian Mo said calmly, a smile on his face, as he released his hand and pulled Le Zhengyu up from the ground.
Le Zhengyu patted the dust off his clothes and said helplessly, "Yeah, sigh, let's get ready. It's time to go back to school tomorrow."
...
The holiday ended, and everyone returned to Shrek Academy one after another.
"Long time no see, Na'er, did you miss me!" At the pavilion in the Inner Courtyard of Shrek Academy, Qian Mo grinned as he wrapped his arm around Gu Yuena's soft waist and asked with a smile.
Gu Yuena lightly slapped Qian Mo's "pig's trotters", rolled her beautiful eyes, and said annoyed, "Don't get handsy the moment you show up."
Qian Mo withdrew his hand with a hint of regret and continued to press, "Alright, alright, then did you miss me?"
"Yes!" Gu Yuena looked at Qian Mo and said very directly.
Gu Yuena's straightforward hit without hesitation made Qian Mo stunned, and then he said softly, "I missed you too, every day."
The two snuggled together, and after pouring out their hearts to each other, they came to the Outer Courtyard.
Upon arriving at the Outer Courtyard, they saw Ye Xinglan and the others. Xu Lizhi was the first to greet them, "Mo Ge, Na'er, long time no see."
"Long time no see, how was your holiday?" Qian Mo asked.
Xu Lizhi chuckled, "Ye Xinglan and I went to a place suitable for her cultivation. My Spirit is the same no matter where I cultivate, so I went with her. We just got back!"
Ye Xinglan's eyes gazed at Qian Mo, and she said coolly, "Long time no see, you've become stronger again."
Ye Xinglan's senses were quite sharp. When her sword intent landed on Qian Mo, it was dispelled by a mysterious aura.
"Had a breakthrough during the holiday," Qian Mo said calmly.
In the evening, Qian Mo came to Yuanen Yehui's dormitory. The work-study students' dormitory was quite simple; there wasn't even a place to stand comfortably, so he could only sit on Yuanen Yehui's bed.
Yuanen Yehui glanced at Qian Mo and didn't say anything, but instead asked, "You broke through to five rings?"
Qian Mo gave Yuanen Yehui a thumbs-up and praised, "Good eyesight."
Yuanen Yehui sighed helplessly. She had taken Qian Mo as her goal and had been chasing closely behind him, but now it seemed like the gap was widening.
Qian Mo reached out and pinched Yuanen Yehui, feeling the vigorous Blood Qi within her body. He smiled and said, "Not bad. It seems Ye Hui, you've cultivated your Blood Qi well this holiday."
Yuanen Yehui said, "Of course. You gave me the Blood Qi Furnace, I must live up to it."
"Mm, have you found the metals?" Qian Mo asked.
Yuanen Yehui nodded and handed Qian Mo two pieces of metal, one brown and one black, from her storage ring.
"This holiday, I've been using the Titan Giant Ape Spirit and the Fallen Angel Spirit to nurture these two pieces of metal."
Qian Mo took the two pieces of metal and felt the strong aura of the Titan Giant Ape Spirit and the Fallen Angel Spirit within them. He nodded in satisfaction, "Good. With these two pieces of metal, I can forge the Dou Armor core for you."
"At that time, you will be able to use both the Titan Giant Ape Spirit and the Fallen Angel Spirit simultaneously, just like me," Qian Mo said.
Yuanen Yehui sat beside Qian Mo and said softly, "Thank you, A Mo."
Qian Mo held the two pieces of metal in his hand, continuously simulating the forging process in his mind while responding, "We're all friends."
"Just friends?" Yuanen Yehui murmured softly.
Qian Mo put away the two pieces of metal, stood up, and said calmly, "I'll notify you in a couple of days. Come find me in the forging room. The forging of the Dou Armor core requires you to be by my side the whole time."
"Mm, okay," Yuanen Yehui said softly.
Qian Mo smiled slightly, reached out and stroked a strand of Yuanen Yehui's red hair, and said softly, "Wait for the notification, I'm leaving now."
Yuanen Yehui's face instantly flushed red, and she said softly, "Okay... I understand."
Qian Mo opened the door and ran into Tang Wulin, who had just raised his hand to knock.
"Uh, Senior Brother Qian Mo, why are you in Yuanen's dormitory?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.
"Who is it?" Yuanen Yehui heard the movement at the door, got up, came to the door, and asked.
