Urban God-level Youth

Five days later in the afternoon, Tiandi City.

The Transmission Array in the central square of Tiandi City flashed, and a group of people appeared on it, among them a young man and woman.

The two were Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi. After five days of traveling, they had returned to Tiandi City.

After leaving the Transmission Array, Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi headed to Heaven and Earth Academy.

On the way to Heaven and Earth Academy, Dong Mengqi asked somewhat disappointedly, "Are you really planning to leave tomorrow?"

Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, leaving tomorrow!"

These days he had been checking those jade scrolls and had roughly determined the current position of the Butian Sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent, located within the current Eastern Continent. Although he hadn't found any records of Butian Peak, he had seen the surrounding terrain through some fragmented words.

Though the names of the nearby mountains had changed several times, the landscape was almost the same as the terrain surrounding Butian Peak in ancient times. He planned to go to Xingyue Palace and then check out that side of the Eastern Continent.

The two quickly returned to Heaven and Earth Academy and then arrived at Hidden Dragon Hall.

Ye Lingyi, Xian Yin, and Ling'er were sitting in the living room, Nangong Yuya and Lan Manshuang were also there, and they were talking.

Seeing Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi return, the girls were slightly surprised, and Xian Yin's face was joyful: "You have returned, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao nodded slightly and sat down with Dong Mengqi. He looked at Nangong Yuya and Lan Manshuang and said with a smile, "Princess Yuya and Man Shuang are here."

Lan Manshuang smiled: "I heard that you are leaving?"

She didn't ask Qin Hao what he was going to do because she had already guessed. Such a question wasn't necessary.

Qin Hao nodded: "I have some things to take care of."

Nangong Yuya: "Are you going to Central Continent? It's a place of talented people and known as the cradle of prodigies on the continent. You might meet opponents there."

Qin Hao: "I'm not going there to compete with them; I have my own matters to attend to."

Nangong Yuya said with a smile: "I thought you felt the young prodigies of the Southern Continent were uninteresting and wanted to challenge those from Central Continent."

Qin Hao chuckled lightly: "I might as well defeat the young prodigies of Central Continent as a side task."

Lan Manshuang's lips curled into a smile upon hearing this: "Let's have dinner together tonight to send you off."

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Okay."

While they were talking, someone walked into the hall from outside. This person greeted, "Long time no see, Qin!"

Seeing the person, Qin Hao smiled, "It's been a long time, Mr. Du!"

This man was Du Qinghao, the son of Du Zhixuan, the City Lord of Tiandi City; the two had a decent relationship before.

Du Qinghao smiled: "I just heard Miss Lan say we're having a farewell gathering; are you going far, Qin?"

Qin Hao nodded: "I'm planning a trip to Central Continent."

Du Qinghao was slightly surprised and puzzled. What was he going to do there? "Why are you suddenly heading to Central Continent, Qin?"

"I have some matters to attend to."

Du Qinghao spoke: "Then let me treat you tonight. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and now we're meeting again just before you leave."

Lan Manshuang: "Mr. Du, are you trying to compete with me for this event?"

Du Qinghao laughed awkwardly: "Since Miss Lan is treating, I won't compete with her, but I definitely have to attend the farewell dinner tonight."

...

Du Qinghao's cultivation had also reached the Early-stage Extreme Realm, making him a standout among the younger generation.

They chatted for over an hour before heading out of Hidden Dragon Hall to one of Tiandi City's taverns, where they ordered some signature dishes and drinks.

Qin Hao, Xian Yin, Ye Lingyi, and Lan Manshuang had quite a bit of drink.

It wasn't until nearly ten o'clock at night that Qin Hao and the others returned to the Academy. That night, Qin Hao, Xian Yin, Ye Lingyi, and Dong Mengqi were in one room.

Qin Hao explained some matters and then lingered affectionately with them.

The next morning at seven, Qin Hao woke up. He got dressed and said to the three women: "No need to see me off; I'll go by myself. Too many people might attract attention."

Xian Yin's eyes were red, and she tightly hugged him: "Be safe outside, Mr. Qin. Come back quickly after finishing your errands. We'll wait for you at the Academy."

With a serious expression, Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, I'll return as soon as possible."

Dong Mengqi and Ye Lingyi also came over and hugged him tightly. Though they were reluctant, there was no alternative.

Qin Hao left the room, and on the first floor of the main hall, Ling'er stood there holding a treasure-seeking spirit beast, her eyes red, clearly having cried many times.

"Master!" She softly called out to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Stay here, and wait for Master to return!"

Xue Lingling: "Master, I'll wait for you."

Qin Hao took a deep breath, looked at the four of them, and then turned and walked out of Hidden Dragon Hall.

Shortly after exiting Hidden Dragon Hall, he saw Zhou Danqing, who looked at him with a complex expression for a long time before speaking: "Take care!"

Qin Hao smiled faintly: "Indeed, I'm still waiting to come back to be accountable to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Danqing's cheeks flushed, and she looked at him in embarrassment before turning to leave.

Qin Hao laughed lightly, turned around, and headed towards the outside of the Academy. At the gate, Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya stood there, looking at him with smiles: "We'll accompany you for a bit."

Qin Hao bitterly smiled: "Aren't you afraid I'll be targeted?"

"You are from the Heaven and Earth Sect; who would dare move against you? Besides, you move fast with the Transmission Array," Lan Manshuang said with a chuckle.

Qin Hao was indifferent: "Let's go!"

The group headed towards the Transmission Array in Tiandi City. Qin Hao had not disguised his appearance; walking on the street this way, accompanied by two beauties like Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya, drew many eyes on the street.

Soon, Qin Hao arrived at the Transmission Array and said to the two, "No need to see me off, I'm leaving."

"Safe travels!" Lan Manshuang said as she looked at him.

Nangong Yuya: "Mr. Qin, safe travels."

Qin Hao turned and stepped onto the Transmission Array, the light flickered, and he disappeared within it.

In the distance, several people observed the Transmission Array from afar. Seeing Qin Hao leave, it was a long time before Xian Yin and the others turned back.

A day later, Qin Hao was already several billion miles away from Tiandi City and out of Heaven and Earth Academy's sphere of influence, entering the territory of the Beichu Dynasty.

Evening came, and Qin Hao continued without pause, persistently using the Transmission Array.

For three consecutive days and nights, Qin Hao traveled far beyond the countless billions of miles away from Tiandi City.

Even so, Qin Hao was still far from Central Continent, requiring another ten days to half a month of using the Transmission Array, followed by a large swath of the desolate plain at the junction of Southern Continent and Central Continent that had to be flown over alone.
