Chapter 21 My destiny no longer belongs to the empire! (Seeking for further reading)
After Lan met Poseidon, he left Poseidon Island.
The main thing was to go over and say hello to Poseidon. After all, Poseidon had helped him a lot.
Poseidon didn't say anything before leaving, but suggested that Lan try to bring some fresh blood back to Poseidon Island.
The mainland has been silent for too long, and war may break out one day.
At present, the overall strength of Poseidon Island is good, but this is only on the surface. Poseidon Island lacks young talents. At present, even people who can inherit the position of the seven sacred pillar guardians have not appeared.
Times have changed. If this generation of guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars dies without a suitable candidate to take over, it will be a major blow to Poseidon Island.
Lan didn't have anything to tell Bo Saixi and the others. After all, he was just a hands-off shopkeeper. Except for Poseidon Island, he would only come forward when the sea encountered a crisis.
Now Lan is going to clear up the karma of the first half of his life and start a new life.
When I first left, I was still twenty years old,
Now it's past the third year of my return.
Suddenly, Lan had stayed on Poseidon Island for nearly twelve years.
The young man who struggled to pursue freedom in the darkness has become the leader of the ruins who can take charge of his own affairs.
All these changes started with an assassination mission
…………
A few days later.
The border of Star Luo Empire, Hailin City.
Lan came to the entrance of an advanced soul master academy.
The word Canglan is engraved on it.
Canglan Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Lan wanted to enter the college, but was stopped by the guard.
"Who are you?"
"No idlers are allowed to enter the academy without permission."
The doorman is an old man, and he looks a little lazy.
"I came to see Dean Wells and said that I am here to see you, an old friend."
"Are you looking for the dean?"
The old man glanced at Lan suspiciously, as if he remembered something.
"Okay, I'll take you in."
The old man brought Lan into the academy.
This college is not large in scale, covering an area of probably only about a hundred acres. There is only a single teaching building, and there is a mimicry training building dedicated to sea soul masters next to it.
The old man took Lan to the mimic training building.
At this time, Wells was teaching students.
"Dean, why can't our sea soul masters participate in the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academies?"
"That's not fair!"
"How are our sea soul masters worse than those soul masters on the mainland?"
The leader, a blue-haired young man, clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.
"Yes, aren't we the young geniuses of the empire?"
"The empire is too biased!"
The other six young girls also agreed.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is the stage that every young soul master dreams of.
There, they can sweat to their heart's content and show their years of hard work, talent, and passion to the world. They are eager for the spotlight.
It can be said that there is no soul master who does not yearn for the continent-wide advanced soul master academy competition.
After all, what young man is not passionate?
Including Lan, when he first entered the assassin training camp, he and his friends had dreamed of entering the soul master competition together and moving towards the championship.
But things went counterproductive,
The beautiful fantasy of the past has long been shattered, and only Lan is left.
Now Lan is no longer a teenager.
I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with me, but it turned out that it was not the same as a young man traveling. Faced with the children's unwillingness, Wells just sighed slightly.
Many years ago, the two empires allowed sea soul masters to participate in the continent-wide senior soul master elite academy competition, but the results were not satisfactory. Let alone the promotion competition, each generation of sea soul master academy could not even pass the preliminaries.
Later, the empire felt that the Sea Soul Master Academy was wasting its quota, so it simply excluded the Sea Soul Master Academy and could never participate in the Soul Master Competition.
This is a heavy blow to those young sea soul masters who want to participate in the soul master competition.
Suddenly, Wells noticed Lan standing in front of the window, his eyes slightly surprised.
After class.
Wells brought Lan to his office.
"Lan, long time no see, you have changed a lot."
Wells looked at Lan's changed appearance and smiled.
Even though Wells and Lan had been together for many years, he might not have recognized her if Wells hadn't written a letter asking Lan to come back.
Lan looked at Wells's vicissitudes of life and his silvery hair, and said softly: "Teacher, you have changed a lot too."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"I never thought you would choose to teach."
Wells has retired and opened the academy in the past ten years. The two have exchanged letters intermittently over the years, so Lan naturally knows about it.
"Well, I have nothing to do. I am ready to adapt to the retirement life in advance."
"It can be regarded as making up for the wrong things I have done over the years."
Wells looked disappointed.
He is the leader of the Black Ice Organization. He personally brought Lan to Black Ice and became an assassin.
A large part of the reason why Lan's childhood was dark was because of him.
If we say,
Qian Renxue was the second person to change Lan's destiny, and 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 and avenged the villagers of the small fishing village. Moreover, Wells also took great care of him over the years in Hei Bing, otherwise Lan would not have become the number one in Hei Bing in just a few years. As an assassin, it was Wells who taught him many principles of life and survival.
"Teacher, it's meaningless to say this now, isn't it?"
"I only have one purpose for coming here this time. You should understand."
Lan said softly.
"Okay."
Wells took out a secret letter and said slowly: "This is the goal of your mission this time."
Lan took the secret letter and scanned the contents.
"Within five years, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe?"
Lan was slightly surprised.
Last time the empire asked him to kill the pope's daughter, and this time he was asked to kill the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire. It seemed that what Poseidon said was true, the continent was really going to be in chaos.
"Originally the empire did not plan to take action so quickly, but the Xueqinghe City is extremely deep. As soon as he became the prince, he used thunderous means to clean up the interior of the Tiandou Empire. It is much better than Emperor Xueye."
Wells paused slightly: "And the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire seems to have a deep resentment towards our Star Luo Empire."
"I have secretly interfered with the empire many times and made the empire lose face."
"This mission is extremely difficult. If you are unwilling to accept it, I will find a way to deal with Your Majesty"
Before Wells finished speaking,
Lan slowly stood up, stars seemed to flash across his long, narrow and deep eyes.
"There is no need to ask His Majesty for instructions."
"Because. My destiny no longer belongs to the empire."
Wells didn't wait for a reaction.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, nine soul rings gradually rose from Lan's feet!
The aura of the titled Douluo swept towards the surroundings, and the tables, chairs, and benches in the room were instantly crushed into powder!
Wells's eyes widened, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes
"Nine...nine rings banned?!!"
