While the two were chatting, Huo Xian’er appeared behind them without them noticing.
“Ye Ling…”
Hearing the voice from behind, both of them turned around simultaneously and saw Huo Xian’er. Not far behind her, Zhang Shengnan stood with her arms crossed.
“Hmph! Anyway, Xian’er and I will be in the same academy from now on. You won’t have a chance. I’ll let you have your say this time.”
Zhang Shengnan felt a surge of joy in her heart, and her hostility towards Ye Ling wasn’t as apparent anymore.
After all, they would be in different academies in the future, not so close to each other. She believed she had an advantage over Ye Ling.
Seeing that Huo Xian’er had something to say, Chen Zhi didn’t plan to stay. He hurriedly said a few words and left.
“Well… you guys chat. I’ll be off now. See you later, Old Ye.”
Watching Chen Zhi’s departing figure, Ye Ling shrugged helplessly and turned his gaze back to Huo Xian’er.
“Huo Xian’er, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Hearing this, Huo Xian’er looked up at Ye Ling, bit her lip, and finally said just one sentence.
“Congratulations on achieving your goal and getting into Vermilion Bird Academy.”
She had a lot to say, but the thought of Ye Ling becoming the first male student in Vermilion Bird Academy’s history made her very unhappy.
After saying this inexplicable sentence, Huo Xian’er also turned and left.
Zhang Shengnan, who had been watching Huo Xian’er, immediately followed her.
Ye Ling was left standing in the wind, completely baffled by what she had just said.
“Really… can’t she just speak plainly?”
Watching the backs of Huo Xian’er and Zhang Shengnan, Ye Ling didn’t call out to them.
Afterward, Ye Ling left the school and headed home.
After grabbing a quick bite outside, Ye Ling returned home and began packing the things he needed.
He had no attachment to this place where he had grown up.
Although he had merged with the memories of his predecessor, they were just fragments in his mind.
Counting all the time, Ye Ling had been here for less than half a month.
Therefore, he didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging here.
Leaving this place was just the first step in Ye Ling’s journey to becoming stronger.
Time passed quickly, the sun gradually set, and night began to fall.
The clear moonlight spread over the entire Skyshine City.
At the East Gate, all the airships from the Spirit Tamer Academies had gathered.
At this moment, the students who had passed the assessments and were entering different Spirit Tamer Academies were all here.
Naturally, Ye Ling was among them.
Since Ye Ling didn’t have many belongings, he quickly packed and put everything into his spatial ring.
This time leaving Skyshine City, he didn’t know when he would return.
If it wasn’t necessary, Ye Ling might never come back to this city.
To see off these students, Lord Shang Lingkong naturally came as well.
He had seen off countless students, but each time he felt a slight pang of emotion.
Once upon a time, he too had passed the assessment and entered a Spirit Tamer Academy.
“Alright, students, this is where we part ways. From now on, you will represent Skyshine City as you head to your respective Spirit Tamer Academies.
I hope you will bring honor to Skyshine City, work hard in your cultivation, strive to break through, and become valuable members of the Federation…”
Before leaving, Shang Lingkong gave a deeply emotional speech, causing some students below to shed tears uncontrollably.
From today onwards, they would leave their homes for a long time and head to an unknown place.
There, apart from the academy, they had no family and could only rely on themselves.
From now on, they would have to live independently, away from the warmth of their families.
Unlike the other deeply emotional students, Ye Ling felt almost nothing. He just stood there quietly, waiting for Shang Lingkong to finish.
After a while, Shang Lingkong knew it was about time and said one last sentence.
“I hope you can go further, become stronger, and become powerful Spirit Tamers! Alright, everyone! Board the airships!”
With Shang Lingkong’s words, it was finally time to part.
Many students’ families came to see them off. Although reluctant, they all held back their tears.
Ye Ling looked up at the Vermilion Bird Academy’s airship, its fiery red body adorned with a red Vermilion Bird on its side.
This Vermilion Bird was also the emblem of Vermilion Bird Academy. Every student who entered the academy would receive such an emblem.
Having this emblem meant you were a student of Vermilion Bird Academy.
Similar to Vermilion Bird Academy, the other three Spirit Tamer Academies had emblems of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
The reason these four Spirit Tamer Academies were named as such wasn’t because someone had once owned these spiritual pets.
It was because, before the establishment of the four Spirit Tamer Academies, someone had witnessed the existence of the Four Spirits.
The person who witnessed the Four Spirits was one of the founders of the Federation. It was also he who initiated the establishment of the four Spirit Tamer Academies.
From that time on, the four Spirit Tamer Academies were established, becoming the first Spirit Tamer Academies of the Federation.
Later, more Spirit Tamer Academies gradually emerged.
But no matter how many Spirit Tamer Academies appeared, none could shake the position of the four Spirit Tamer Academies.
Since they were established by the Federation’s founders, the four Spirit Tamer Academies had abundant resources.
They nurtured various talents and supplied them to the Federation, something other later Spirit Tamer Academies couldn’t compare to.
