Night!

The moon was like a silver plate, and the stars were shining on the ground.

All living things fell into a deep slumber, and all living things fell silent!

All of a sudden, a star from the depths of the sky suddenly shone, and the light of the star lit up everything in the world...

The night was as bright as day. It was a natural phenomenon!

The vast, ancient, and ancient aura enveloped heaven and earth.

All the creatures on the True Spirit Continent were awakened by the aura and looked up into the starry sky.

The stars in the sky disappeared, and the silver moon was dim. Only one star emitted a strong and dazzling light.

The strange phenomenon continued for only a few breaths of time before the world once again returned to silence!

All the starlight in the sky converged.

That night, all the stars in the sky were hidden!

This night was called a starless night!

In the midst of the sudden change, a streak of starlight fell to the ground and turned into a baby.

The baby was naked, and there were no signs on his body. His eyes were as clear and bright as stars...

...

16 years later.

...

"...Golden Lion Academy will be expelled from the star soul today, never to be employed again!"

Listening to the cold and indifferent voice on the high platform, the young man slowly raised his head. Under his delicate and handsome face, a pair of clear and bright eyes fell on the expressionless teacher, and the corners of his mouth were gradually raised with self-mockery.

"Star Soul, you failed to reach the front line of the academy in the first year of the assessment. Today, you are expelled. This is the expulsion order!"

The middle-aged teacher on the high platform said coldly and threw out the expelling order in his hand. The paper slipped in front of the young man's eyes. The word " expelling" was so dazzling!

"Heh heh, this 'true genius' has finally been expelled!"

"In the past two years, he wasted too many resources relying on his direct line of descent. He should have been expelled a long time ago."

"The academy has done its best to support this good-for-nothing for two years!"

"It has been less than two years. It seems that he has been completely crippled!"

Listening to the disdainful mockery coming from the surroundings, the young man's body trembled and his breathing became rapid. He silently picked up the glaring expelling order.

On the high platform, the other mentors shook their heads with disappointment on their faces and turned to leave.

The delicate and handsome young man raised his head. His star-like bright eyes looked at the group of instructors who had left. He glanced at the students around the open ground who spoke with harsh words. Finally, he looked at the tall and familiar buildings around him.

Just like many years ago, everything here had changed. The young man laughed at himself and said, "It's been sixteen years of affection. I didn't expect it to be used up in these two years!"

The young man who had lived here for 16 years was about to leave. He didn't have any attachment in his heart. Although he had been in the name of the direct line of descent for the past two years, he didn't live well in the college.

The young man turned around and walked out of the square. His thin back looked lonely.

"Sister Lin Jing, has Senior Brother Star Soul really been expelled? Is he really unable to return to his peak?"

Lin Jing, who was dressed in white and had an exquisite appearance, looked at the lonely figure. Her emotions were inevitably a little complicated. When she recalled her past as a youth, her heart felt as if it had turned over many different emotions.

He cultivated at the age of eight, entered the Qi Meridian realm at the age of nine, broke through 30 Qi Meridians at the age of 12, entered the 10th level of Qi Meridian, and reached the early stage of Spirit Awakening. He stayed dormant at the age of thirteen for a year, broke through the 92 Qi Meridian at the age of 14, and entered the Spirit Meridian realm with high potential. He became the youngest spirit martial artist since the founding of the Jin State, causing a great sensation!

Golden Lion Academy even bestowed the title of Star Soul's direct line of descent. Many resources were left for them to enjoy!

The good situation didn't last long. The 14-star soul took a risk in the purple bamboo forest for the first time, which was an accident.

At that time, the star soul accidentally touched a restriction formation, and a statue flew out from it. It hit his head and knocked him unconscious.

At that time, the star soul was in a coma for a whole month.

By the time he woke up, the cultivation base of the star soul had fallen back, and all the 92 Qi meridians had been blocked. From then on, he had become a useless person!

The academy had completely given up on him after all kinds of methods failed to bring the star soul back to the Qi Meridian Realm.

The young man and the young woman who had the promise to protect each other for the rest of their lives also distanced themselves from each other because of the difference in their talent for cultivation.

In the end, the young lady chose to let go and gave up on the youth!

"In the future, you will spend the rest of your life in an ordinary way. I have been dormant for two years on the tenth level of the Qi Meridian. Soon, I will break through 90 Qi Meridians and enter the Spirit Awakening with high-level material. The difference between you and me is comparable to heaven and earth. It is impossible for us to break through!"

Lin Jing came back to her senses and walked towards the star soul with light steps.

"Star Soul!"

Her emotions had already calmed down. Looking at the young man who stopped in front of her, she said lightly, "In the past two years, you have consumed too many resources of the academy. The academy has been very kind to you. I hope you don't blame the academy!"

"No!" Star Soul was a little surprised as he looked at the girl.

The two of them had not spoken for a long time. Usually, when Lin Jing saw him, she would take a detour. The young and innocent agreement from back then had long since disappeared into the clouds. Her good impression of him had also completely disappeared due to the huge gap between the two of them.

The two of them no longer interacted with each other. Star Soul nodded politely at Lin Jing and continued forward.

"Star Soul!"

Lin Jing lightly gritted her teeth and called out to her star soul.

"What's the matter?" Star Soul turned around.

Lin Jing looked at Star Soul and said calmly, "In the past two years, the college has been thinking of ways to help you and even spent a lot of resources for you. But you are really useless. You'd better be an ordinary person in the future."

"I will." The star soul continued to move forward.

"Wait! The academy has done so much for you. Don't you feel guilty at all? Don't you think you should do something for the academy?"

"What can a good-for-nothing like me do?" Star Soul mocked himself.

"Purple Bamboo Order! You've been crippled. It's useless to get it. Why don't you hand it over?"

The Star Soul that was moving forward suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Lin Jing. He suddenly realized that this was the reason why she had appeared. A trace of disappointment flashed across his heart. He shook his head and said slowly and firmly, "The Purple Bamboo Order is my personal item. It does not belong to the academy!"

"But you've already been crippled, and you'll only be an ordinary person in the future! To enter the Violet Bamboo Garden, you must open the spirit realm. Even if you can still cultivate, can you still cross the meridians and enter the spirit realm in just half a year?"

"That's my business!"

Lin Jing looked at the star soul and said bitterly, "Star soul, you are too selfish and disappointing! The academy has done so much for you and wasted so many resources on you. As a cripple now, can't you repay a little to the academy?"

Lin Jing, who called him a cripple, only had the purple bamboo token in her eyes. She did not care about the feelings of the star soul at all.

"Star Soul, you are indeed too selfish! It's just a piece of Purple Bamboo Order. How can it compare with the gratitude the academy has shown to you for raising you for 16 years? Can it compare with the academy's education on you?"

A young man in luxurious clothes walked over. He had a long sword on his waist, and on the handle of the sword was a glittering and expensive gem.

"Chen Ming!" Star Soul's eyes flashed with anger as he looked at the newcomer.

Chen Ming walked to Lin Jing's side and gently wrapped his arm around her slender waist. He looked at the star soul and said, "I heard that Xiao Jing admired you very much back then. Your selfish appearance right now is truly disappointing!"

Lin Jing looked at the star soul. Her pretty face was full of disappointment and sadness. She was about to cry. She was so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel pity for her.

The students, who originally had sympathy for the star soul, were staring at him coldly at this moment with unkind expressions.

Obviously, the star soul, who had aroused public anger, would not be able to leave if he did not hand over the Purple Bamboo Order today.

"You've put in a lot of effort for a piece of the Purple Bamboo Order."

Star Soul looked around at the angry crowd, took out a purple token from his arms, and threw it to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming took the token and sneered at the star soul, saying, "You have a conscience. You didn't let down the academy's expectations and training for you!"

When Lin Jing saw the token, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

Star Soul looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Chen Ming, you don't have to be happy too early. Half a year later, I will personally come and take this Purple Bamboo Order! Also, I will also take back what you owe me in the past two years!"

"Are you dreaming?" Chen Ming mocked.

The other students around him burst into laughter.

Star Soul said seriously, "Before the opening of the Purple Bamboo Garden, I will come to you!"

Chen Ming smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "Do you want to humiliate yourself? Well, I'll wait for you! Oh, I forgot to tell you that in half a year, I will be engaged to Xiaojing in the family. Let's put the battle between you and me on the engagement party!"

It was obvious that Chen Ming was going to humiliate the star soul even more. No one would think that a cripple's star soul would be able to defeat Chen Ming, who could enter the spirit realm at any time with high potential, half a year later.

"Okay!"

Star Soul nodded and walked straight out of Golden Lion Academy.

At the academy's main entrance stood a statue of a golden lion. It was the totem beast of the academy and also the origin of Golden Lion Academy.

Star Soul glanced at Golden Lion and said indifferently, "They all say that you are a totem beast and a guardian of the academy. You are smarter than the Grandpa Dean. Now it seems that you are just a blind sleeping lion!"

The star soul turned around and left. This was not the place he remembered. The changes in the past two years were too great.

"A place like this... It doesn't matter if I don't want to stay."

The star soul that was moving forward did not see it. The closed eyes of the golden lion suddenly opened, and a golden light was flowing in its eyes.
