幽靜的小苑，淡淡的水流聲，微微的輕風舞動竹林。很安寧的地方，讓人心情平和，這就是，趙嫻兒等人的居所紫竹苑。
而這個時候的傅小蛙正在廂房中的一張香床上昏睡，已經整整一天過去，傅小蛙依然沒有醒來，他透支的力量確實太多太多，強大的毅力，透支身體的支出，完全沒有限度對身體損傷無比巨大。
趙嫻兒在托著腮在旁邊的茶桌上也是昏昏欲睡，幾個女孩兒輪流守在這裡已經一天一夜。
「水，水……」
這時傳來傅小蛙的呢喃，聽聞聲音的趙嫻兒頓時驚醒過來，搖搖頭清醒一下，見那床上的傅小蛙在微微蠕動少許。
「水來了水來了！」趙嫻兒手忙腳亂地倒上一杯趕到傅小蛙旁邊，把杯子湊到傅小蛙的嘴邊，讓他吮吸。
見傅小蛙喝下幾口水，安順地平躺下來，呼吸也變得有力起來。
見到傅小蛙沒事，趙嫻兒心中的一塊巨石這才落下。
「這是哪裡……」傅小蛙掙扎著打開眼睛，發現這個一個陌生的地方，腦袋傳來一陣昏炫。
「你終於醒了！」趙嫻兒高興道。
傅小蛙這才發現躺在一張溫軟的床上，身上衣裳已經換過，是在夢府的時候就已經換好。趙嫻兒等人將他從夢府帶回天都學院，還不知道他住哪裡，所以暫時將他安置在紫竹苑。
「原來是嫻兒姑娘，這裡。這裡面難道是？」傅小蛙覺得這應該是個女孩兒的閨房。
「這裡是我的房間，我們現在已經回到天都學院！」趙嫻兒告訴他道。
傅小蛙頓時慌然道：「這裡是嫻兒姑娘的閨，在下在這裡怎妥！」
雖然說，讓陌生的男子睡到自己床上，是有所不妥，但是趙嫻兒對傅小蛙，卻沒有那麼多的介意。
趙嫻兒大方地道：「你不用擔心，這裡沒有外人，何必計較那麼多世俗間的禮數！」
「我再休息一下，應該就有力量走回去。謝謝嫻兒姑娘的收留！」傅小蛙謝道。
「不著急。你休養著，我可以睡夢語菲的床，她暫時不會回來！」
「對了，語菲姑娘如何了？」傅小蛙關心道。
趙嫻兒心裡閃過一絲異樣讓她有點不舒服。她應聲答道：「哦。她暫時還不會回天都學院！」
「那。那她還有沒有被逼嫁人？」傅小蛙最擔心的卻是這個。
趙嫻兒淡笑道：「你還記得撿了一包珠寶，還給一個老人麼？」
傅小蛙在混亂的思索中慢慢回憶，確實是有這麼一回事。他點點頭道：「是撿到一包珠寶，那老人家挺急，我撿到便還給他！」
趙嫻兒道：「就是這包珠寶，拯救了你和夢語菲，那個老人家，其實是當今皇上！」
「啊？那老人家是皇上？」傅小蛙覺得這個名字像是戲裡那樣，對他來說是那麼遙遠，那麼不可及，就連他都覺得不可思議。
趙嫻兒道：「你闖下的滔天大禍，誰都無法扛下來，惟有一個人才有力量，如果不是皇上的出現，你現在已經被拖去砍頭了！」
「真有那麼嚴重？」傅小蛙現在才覺得心驚。
「確實有，你可知道，你一共重傷一萬多名士兵，打得連旁邊的兵營都已經搬空，除開皇上，誰還呆得住你！」
「有那麼多人？我當時已經昏頭了，只知道不讓人靠近語菲姑娘！」
「你喜歡語菲嗎？」趙嫻兒不知道自己為什麼會容易問這一句。
「啊？」傅小蛙被問得驚惶失措，他趕緊答道：「沒，沒有啊，我怎麼會喜歡語菲姑娘！」
「那你為她付出如此，又是為何？」趙嫻兒好奇道。
「如果我不去阻止這一切，那麼她會痛苦一年，兩年，五年，十年，很多很多年，我只是想阻止這一切，我不想看到自己的朋友往後的生活都在痛苦之中！」
趙嫻兒聽得心中感動，夢語菲能遇到傅小蛙，也許是她這一輩子最幸運的事情，沒有多少人能像她這樣，有人為她逆天下拯救她未來痛苦的命運，多少人只能為政治貢獻自己的一生幸福。
「傅小蛙！」趙嫻兒喚了他一聲，眼睛裡有些赤熱。
「嗯？」傅小蛙愣頭應道。
「你是好樣的！」趙嫻兒發身內心地稱讚，她不經常稱讚人，就算是對方吟出的是絕句詩詞，出的是絕妙好對。
傅小蛙的恢復速度很快，趙嫻兒幫他找的治傷丹藥都不是俗品，更有三皇子所贈的靈丹，這些全給傅小蛙吃後，傅小蛙的身體快速地復元中。
逗留幾個時辰之後，傅小蛙已經可以一瘸一拐地離開紫竹苑，弄髒趙嫻兒姑娘的床，他覺得十分的愧疚。
傅小蛙回到小院，那老人見他回來，沒太多問，因為傅小蛙像這樣重傷也不是一回兩回，溫院師都已經司空見慣。
這兩天的地元試煉場因為傅小蛙的缺席而關閉，鬧得學院裡眾多學員抱怨不止。第三天，傅小蛙趕緊的回去上工，重點是他需要回到溫泉治療傷勢，只有溫泉才是治傷聖地，比什麼丹藥都有用。
試煉場終於再次開放，傅小蛙邊泡溫泉邊出來應戰，就算是傅小蛙現在的狀態，那些院徒們想突破地元試煉場依然有難度，那些前來闖關的小組，依然是滿頭灰土的節奏。
傅小蛙恢復少許，開始前往煉獄試煉場，煉狼試煉場的黑湖，才是真正的奇效。感覺身體的狀態已經足夠到達黑湖，他便在收工之後，前往煉獄試煉場。
他算得很準，身體狀態正好到達黑湖的時候完全耗盡。用最後一絲力量躍進黑湖。接受黑湖猛烈寒冷的侵襲。
恢復加修煉，上一回的夢府之戰，傅小蛙確實是超出自身極限太多，而挑戰極限後，身體的情況也再次提升一個等級，原來的極限已經不再是極限，他還可以發揮更強的耐性。
從黑湖中爬出來，已是深夜，傅小蛙長歎出一口氣，抖抖身上的湖水。他抬頭。仰望天空的圓月。不知到來天都學院已經多久。
他開始淡淡思念那麼在青牛鎮中的幫人，他是個孤兒，從懂事開始，就面臨無盡的孤獨。那些曾經身旁的人們現在怎麼樣。他不知道。還好他在這裡認識新的朋友。新的夥伴，他不再孤單。
坐在湖邊的黑石上，傅小蛙稍作一下休息。四周依然黑暗，這是煉獄試煉場，第一寸的地方都充滿恐怖的氣息。不過，對於這些，他已經習慣。他現在的功夫如何，他不是很清楚，每天都有很多院徒前來挑戰，有機關協助，對付他們確實是很簡單。如果單打獨鬥，他最多可以累死對手，他現在依然以為那些院生只是院徒，因為他認識的只見過許炎等人來過。
在煉獄試煉場中休息片刻，狀態已經全然恢復四周很恐怖，這裡的怪物不是機關，永遠都保持著那樣的數量跟密度。
這時，黑暗中一雙幽綠的眼睛閃爍一下，傅小蛙長歎出一口氣，原來又是黑豹子。他漫不經心地站起來，整整衣裳。
嗚哇一聲，黑豹從黑暗中撲殺出來，帶著閃電，在黑暗中如一道藍色流瑩。對付這種黑豹，傅小蛙泰然地揉揉鼻子，然後猛朝著一顆大樹奔跑，那黑豹緊跟其後。
傅小蛙圍著幾個合抱那麼大的巨樹繞著圈子跑，黑豹繞圈子沒有辦法暴發衝刺的追捕技術，只能被傅小蛙牽制著一直繞圈圈。
繞到幾百圈，終於那黑豹焉焉地夾著尾巴離去。傅小蛙臉不紅心不跳地拍拍手上的灰土，從大樹後走出來。
對於煉獄試煉場的各種怪物，他已經再熟悉不過，沒有人能像他這樣，花費如此多的貢獻珠進來像跟進自家門一樣。這麼多的試煉珠進一回，那是需要一個小隊的院生積積攢攢好一陣子，才能湊夠數量。
解決黑豹，傅小蛙發現自己已經跑到離古堡已經不遠的地方。他撓撓腦袋，覺得自己是時候再次去會一會那個黃金魔甲。
他掂量了一下自己，下定決心，偷偷摸摸地往古堡潛去。一路上沒什麼怪物，有的也被傅小蛙用各種方法給拖垮。他一路上記好逃跑路線，等一下黃金魔甲要是打不過，他還能找機會逃出去。
幽暗，深沉，依然是那恐怖的迴響聲。天空的烏雲，血色的夜空，哀叫的烏鴉，光禿的樹枝魅影。
再次回到這個讓他差點喪命的古堡，但這回，他十分小心，他小心翼翼地摸索著進入古堡之內。
古堡內很黑暗，沒有太多的人會選擇這個時間前來煉獄試煉場，因為白天來就已經夠恐怖了，夜晚給人的心理壓力實在太巨大。
