After meeting with the Sea God, Lan left Sea God Island.
He mainly went to say hello to the Sea God, after all, the Sea God had helped him so much.
Before leaving, the Sea God said nothing, simply suggesting that Lan bring as much fresh blood as possible back to Sea God Island.
The continent has been silent for too long, and war might break out any day.
Currently, Sea God Island's overall strength is considerable, but this is only superficial.
Sea God Island lacks young talent, and even those capable of inheriting the Seven Pillar Guardians have yet to emerge.
With the changing times, if the current generation of Seven Pillar Guardians dies without a suitable replacement, it would be a devastating blow to Sea God Island.
Lan had no instructions for Poseidon and the others; after all, he was a hands-off boss, only stepping in when the sea was in crisis, except for Sea God Island.
Now, Lan was set to settle the karma of his previous life and begin a new one.
Back then, Chu Li was still twenty years old;now, upon returning, he was already in his twenties.
Before he knew it, Lan had already spent nearly twelve years on Sea God Island.
The young man who had desperately sought freedom in the darkness had become a capable and independent Lord of Guixu.
All this transformation began with an assassination mission
A few days later.
On the border of the Xingluo Empire, in Hailin City,Lan arrived at the gate of a high-level spirit master academy.
Inscribed on it were the words Canglan.
Canglan High-level Spirit Master Academy.
Lan tried to enter, but was stopped by the guard.
"Who are you?"
"No one is allowed into the academy without permission."
The guard, an elderly man, looked somewhat absent-minded.
"I'm here to see Dean Wells.
I'll say I'm here to see an old friend."
"Dean?"
The old man glanced at Lan suspiciously, as if remembering something.
"Okay, I'll take you in."
The old man led Lan into the academy.
The academy was not large, covering only about a hundred acres.
The teaching building consisted of a single room, with a separate simulated training building for sea spirit masters nearby.
The old man led Lan to the simulated training building.
Wells was teaching his students.
"Dean, why can't we Sea Spirit Masters participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition?"
"That's unfair!"
"How are we Sea Spirit Masters any worse than those from the mainland?"
The blue-haired young man in the lead clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment.
"Yeah, aren't we the Empire's young prodigies?"
"The Empire is way too partial!"
The other six young women echoed.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition is the stage every young spirit master dreams of.
There, they can unleash their passion, showcasing their years of hard work, talent, and passion to the world.
They yearn for the spotlight.
It's safe to say that every spirit master aspires to compete in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Competition.
After all, what young man isn't passionate?
Even Lan, when he first entered the assassin training camp, had fantasized with his friends about competing in the competition and striving for the championship.
But things didn't go as planned.
That beautiful fantasy was shattered, leaving Lan alone.
Lan was no longer a teenager.
I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and put them in the wine, but it doesn't feel like the days when I was young.
Faced with the children's reluctance, Wells could only sigh slightly.
Many years ago, the two empires allowed Sea Soul Masters to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Academy Competition, but the results were far from satisfactory.
Not to mention the promotion rounds, each generation of the Sea Soul Master Academy couldn't even pass the preliminaries.
Later, the empire felt that the Sea Soul Master Academy was wasting its quota and simply expelled it, forever barring it from participating in the Soul Master Competition.
This was a heavy blow to those young Sea Soul Masters who wanted to participate in the Soul Master Competition.
Suddenly, Wells noticed Lan standing in front of the window, his eyes slightly surprised.
After class,Wells took Lan to his office.
"Lan, long time no see, you've changed a lot."
Wells looked at the changed Lan and smiled.
Even though Wells had been with Lan for many years, if Wells hadn't written a letter asking Lan to come back, he might not have recognized him.
Lan looked at Wells's weathered face, his silver-streaked hair, and said calmly, "Teacher, you've changed a lot."
"I didn't expect you would choose teaching."
Wells had retired. He had opened the academy in the past decade, and the two had corresponded sporadically over the years, so Lan naturally knew this.
"Alas, with nothing to do, I'm preparing to adapt to retirement life in advance."
"It's kind of making up for the mistakes I've made over the years,"Wells said with a wistful look.
He was the leader of the Black Ice organization, and it was he who personally brought Lan to Black Ice and made him an assassin.
Lan's dark childhood was largely due to him.
If Qian Renxue was the second person to change Lan's fate, then Wells was the first.
Lan was silent for a long time.
Wells was indeed the culprit of his dark life, but he couldn't hate him.
It was Wells who saved his life, avenged the villagers of the small fishing village, and cared for him deeply during his years at Black Ice.
Otherwise, Lan wouldn't have become Black Ice's top assassin in just a few short years.
It was Wells who taught him so much about life and survival.
"Teacher, there's no point in saying this now, is there?"
"I came here for only one purpose.
You should understand that,"
Lan said softly.
"Alright."
Wells produced a secret letter and slowly spoke, "This is your mission objective this time."
Lan took the letter and scanned its contents.
"Within five years, Tiandou Empire Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?"
Lan was slightly surprised.
Last time, the Empire had asked him to kill the Pope's daughter, and this time, he was asked to kill Tiandou Empire's Crown Prince. It seemed that what Poseidon said was true.
The continent was truly in chaos.
"Originally, the Empire wasn't planning to act so quickly, but Xue Qinghe is incredibly cunning.
As soon as he became Crown Prince, he launched a drastic crackdown on the Heaven Dou Empire, far more powerful than Emperor Xue Ye."
Wells paused.
"And this Heaven Dou Crown Prince seems to harbor a deep resentment towards our Xingluo Empire."
"He has repeatedly and covertly interfered with the Empire, bringing disgrace upon it."
"This mission is extremely difficult.
If you're unwilling to take it, I will find a way to negotiate with Your Majesty."
Before Wells could finish,Lan slowly stood up, his narrow, deep eyes gleaming with stars.
"There's no need to consult Your Majesty."
"Because... my destiny no longer belongs to the Empire."
Before Wells could react, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, nine spirit rings gradually rose from Lan's feet!
The aura of a Titled Douluo swept in all directions, instantly crushing the tables, chairs, and benches in the room into dust!
Wells' eyes widened, a look of horror flashing across them.
"Nine...Nine Rings Title?!"
