Chapter 80: Correspondence – A Familiar Feeling
After returning from Tiandou City, Qian Yuhan planned to write a letter to "Xue" to tell her about what had happened in Tiandou City these past few days. He also told her his home address and asked her to send the letter to Mingyue Villa during the holiday, otherwise it would be too time-consuming to take a detour to the academy every day.
When Qian Yuhan went to check the school mailbox for any mail, she ran into Fang Ya at the college gate.
Fang Ya told Qian Yuhan that Han Xue, the grade director, had contacted her, saying that she had been selected to go to Tiandou Royal Academy for an exchange program.
Qian Yuhan naturally knew this, having learned from Uncle Shao Hui that the exchange program had been moved up. Han Xue called Fang Ya to the academy to formally inform her, then asked her to go back and discuss with her parents whether she could go, and then come back to tell her the result.
Qian Yuhan chatted with Fang Ya for a while, and Qian Yuhan was surprised to find that Fang Ya had broken through to the Soul Venerable level.
"You've broken through?" Qian Yuhan asked.
Fang Ya nodded and smiled, "I found it! Yes, I broke through a few days ago. I just came back from the Star Dou Great Forest yesterday. I hunted down a three-thousand-year-old Earth King..."
Qian Yuhan pondered: The King of the Earth?! Could he have obtained that "Phoenix Roaring Strike" soul skill?
Qian Yuhan patted Fang Ya on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations!"
"Thanks, I'll head back now. I need to discuss this with my parents; it was all so sudden."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye-Bye."
……
After saying goodbye to Fang Ya, Qian Yuhan took out "Snow's" letter from the mailbox.
Back home, I sat at the table, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read:
"Qian Yuhan: "
I know you're busy, and I wonder how you've been these past few days. I received your letter a few days ago, and you wrote that you came to Tiandou City?! When you arrived, the Royal Square in Tiandou City should have been hosting an arena tournament, right?
Qian Yuhan: So that square is called "Royal Square"...
"Let me tell you, I even participated in this tournament."
The next sentence was like a bolt from the blue.
What?! "Snow" participated too?! Doesn't that mean we've fought against each other?
No, it's possible she participated on the first morning and I just didn't meet her. If it had started in the afternoon, I definitely would have met her, since I've been the champion the whole time...
"Anyway, I won, though I got injured. Seriously, that champion was so annoying! Her soul skills were too powerful; how could she treat a girl like that? Even though I'm stronger than that stinky champion, she's still a girl! Honestly, she has no chivalry whatsoever! Humph! I'm so angry!!"
Qian Yuhan watched "Snow's" complaints, her lips almost curling into a smile: This girl is so interesting, and she's admitted she's a girl, I guessed right, hahaha—
"After hitting me, I left and rested at home for one night. The next day, I went to confront him. At least he had some conscience and knew to ask if I was alright or hurt. But he's such a straight man!! He was injured too, and when I asked him how he was, he told me: 'I won't die...' Can you believe it?"
Qian Yuhan read the next part, and the more she read, the more familiar it seemed. The morning after her last match, Ouyang Luoxue came to see her, and she seemed to have said the same thing—almost exactly what she said. This was too much of a coincidence…
"I heard some people in the academy saying that the exchange program between the Spirit Hall Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has been moved up. Is that true? Have you heard anything from your side? If you receive the letter, reply as soon as possible. Don't make a fool of yourself; it would be ridiculous if you came to Heaven Dou and I went to Spirit City. Alright, I need to continue recuperating. Send your mail to the Ice God Sect of the Heaven Dou Empire. Looking forward to your reply (smiling emo)."
Qian Yuhan took out the few remaining letters that "Snow" had left for herself from her luggage and wrote a reply:
"Snow:
I've received your letter! And guess what? I've had a really great time in Tiandou City these past few days! Especially the arena event, which I signed up for!
After arriving in Heaven Dou City, I spent a whole day exploring the city. Heaven Dou City is truly enormous; even after two visits, I still felt like I hadn't seen half of it! From the afternoon of the first day of the arena tournament, I threw myself into the arena battles. That feeling of tension and excitement still gets my blood pumping. And what's more, I didn't just fight one or two matches for fun; I persevered from the first afternoon until the very last match on the third day! Isn't that amazing? Hahaha!
Speaking of which, I wonder if you've run into me in the ring? If not, that's okay. If we miss this chance to meet, there will always be more opportunities for us to meet in the future.
Oh, and I have some good news to share with you! After these few days of intense battles, I can clearly feel that my soul power has greatly improved, and I have actually successfully broken through to level 40! Now, I only need one more soul ring to become a Soul Master! Just thinking about embarking on a new cultivation journey fills my heart with anticipation and fighting spirit.
When I saw your letter mentioning your injury during the fight, my heart clenched. I really hope your injury isn't too serious. If things don't look good, please remember to write to me and let me know the details. Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to help you, and I will never let you face difficulties alone!
Sigh, actually, I feel like it'll be weird if I don't write to you anymore, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger. I got pretty badly injured in the arena, and in the last match, wow, I encountered a monster, an absolute monster, a really strong woman. She unleashed a control-type domain right off the bat. She probably wasn't much older than me, but she was already level 45. Isn't that monstrous? She seems to be from your Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, her name is Ouyang Luoxue, she's quite pretty, I don't know if you know her.
I went through so much trouble to break that damn domain, and this woman is too ruthless. She just used her fourth soul skill on me. She has no humanity at all. She really doesn't match her appearance at all! She's ruthless. If you didn't look at her face, you'd think she was a tough guy.
I withstood the attack with my defensive soul skill, but I was still injured. However, hehe, that girl wasn't doing well either; she was also seriously injured by my "Light Slash." Hey, do you think I went a little too far? After all, she's a girl.
And you too, you clearly had stronger soul power than her, yet you still injured her. Didn't you know to go easy on her? You're just like that Ouyang Luoxue! No wonder you were taught by the same academy, hahaha!
We did say that the exchange program has been moved up. We'll be going a few days before the end of winter break, and it'll last for seven semesters. Hey, let's meet then! Let me tell you, I'm really handsome. My dad always praises me!
As for the guy who hurt you, I think he was a bit of a clueless guy. He didn't even bother to comfort you. If it were me, I would have treated you to a good meal and brought you home to take care of you until you recovered, then sent you back home. Definitely top-notch service!! Hahahaha~~
Looking forward to your reply. Best wishes!

Qian Yuhan put down her pen and looked at the contents of "Xue's" reply again. She thought to herself: Why does it feel so familiar? The things she wrote in her letter sound so much like what happened between Ouyang Luoxue and me.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, Ouyang Luoxue... Ouyang Luoxue... Luoxue... Xue... "Xue"?!
This...this can't be the same person, can it? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Hmm, it must be a coincidence, it must be!!

I'm quite busy today, so I'll only be posting one chapter. I'll make up for the missed chapter this weekend! Sorry, everyone!
