After entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy's main campus, Yu Tianlin found that there were no students walking around on the paths.

He looked around and soon spotted a large training ground. The field was surrounded by three buildings, and shadowy figures could be seen inside them, as if all the students had gathered there.

Yu Tianlin walked closer and saw that the three buildings were respectively engraved with the marks Tian Wei, Tian Zhi, and Tian Dou. At the same time, the faint sound of teachers lecturing drifted out.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was in class right now? Yu Tianlin was quite speechless. Those guys he had just seen swaggering down the mountain had made him think Heaven Dou Royal Academy was on break today too. He had not expected that those guys had simply skipped class.

Since classes were being held here, then this was undoubtedly the teaching area. As for these three buildings, Tian Wei Building, Tian Zhi Building, and Tian Dou Building, they should correspond to the three levels Heaven Dou Royal Academy divided its students into.

It was probably the same as Thunderbolt Academy: level twenty-one to twenty-five as the lowest tier, twenty-six to thirty as the middle tier, and above thirty as the highest tier.

His elder brother was currently level twenty-eight, so he should be in the middle tier. But which building corresponded to the middle tier?

Yu Tianlin scratched his head a little. But it did not matter. If he did not know, he could just ask.

After wandering around Heaven Dou Royal Academy at random, Yu Tianlin soon found an academy teacher and directly gave him his elder brother's name.

Sure enough, as a third-generation direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, Yu Tianheng was extremely well known even within Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The academy teacher directly told Yu Tianlin that his elder brother was in Tian Zhi Class One.

After thanking the teacher, Yu Tianlin came to Tian Zhi Building, found the nameplate for Class One, then waited at the door.

Judging by the sun, class should be ending soon. He would not have to wait long.

As expected, Yu Tianlin had only waited for about half an hour when the clear, ringing bell for the end of class sounded.

The door of Class One was pushed open, and the teacher was the first to walk out. When he saw Yu Tianlin waiting at the door in Thunderbolt Academy's uniform, he was a little surprised, but he said nothing and left directly.

After the teacher left, Yu Tianlin hurriedly took up a position by the doorway and swept his gaze through the classroom. He quickly found a familiar figure and called out, "Big Brother!"

Yu Tianlin's shout immediately drew everyone's attention. The students all turned their eyes toward the doorway, naturally including Yu Tianheng.

"Little Lin? Why are you here?!"

After seeing Yu Tianlin, Yu Tianheng was first stunned, then a pleasantly surprised smile appeared on his rigid face. He abruptly rose from his seat and walked toward Yu Tianlin.

So he was here for Yu Tianheng.

Realizing that it had nothing to do with them, the other students withdrew their gazes and stopped paying attention. However, there was still one person who, after hearing how Yu Tianlin addressed Yu Tianheng, looked him over with great interest.

Yu Tianheng was around one meter eighty tall. Although he was a year younger than Yu Tianxin, he was instead just a little taller than Yu Tianxin. Mm, and a little more handsome too.

"Father came to see me last night and told me about you enrolling in Thunderbolt Academy. I was just planning to find some time in the next couple of days to go see you. I didn't expect you to come looking for me first." Yu Tianheng quickly walked up to Yu Tianlin, pulled him outside, and after clearing the classroom doorway, lightly punched Yu Tianlin in the chest. "You're something, kid. You've only just turned eight and already broken through to the two-ring level. Much better than me."

"I've just been working hard at cultivating the whole time," Yu Tianlin said with a smile. "Our academy happened to have these two days off, so I came to find you. Oh right, Big Brother, is Dad still here now?"

Yu Tianheng shook his head. "Father left after telling me about you last night. He's busy with affairs, after all, and still has to cultivate as well. It's better for him to go back earlier."

Just as Yu Tianlin was about to say something else, a girl's voice rang out. "Tianheng, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Yu Tianlin looked in the direction the voice came from and saw a young girl in Heaven Dou Royal Academy's orange-yellow uniform smiling at the two brothers.

The girl had short, deep-purple hair that reached her neck, looking fresh and lively. When her gaze moved to Yu Tianheng, her green eyes seemed to glimmer with light.

Green eyes and purple hair. It seemed this girl was Dugu Yan, the only granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Hair and eye colors like that were indeed not found in anyone else on Douluo Continent. It seemed it really was because she had always been corroded by the Jade Phosphor Serpent's poison.

He remembered that in the original work, Tang San seemed to have said that it would be fine to guide those toxins into a spirit bone, but as for exactly how to do it, Yu Tianlin did not know.

Sigh, if only he could solve this problem. Not only could he save his future sister-in-law's life, he might even be able to use this chance to sneak into Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and take Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs as he pleased.

What? You're saying I wouldn't recognize them? Who cares? Take them first. When the time came, he could just find someone who knew and have them identify the herbs.

After Yu Tianlin saw Dugu Yan, his thoughts instantly drifted off to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yu Tianheng, however, was unaffected and introduced him to Dugu Yan. "Yanzi, this is my biological younger brother. His name is Yu Tianlin, and he's only just turned eight."

Yu Tianlin came back to himself during his elder brother's introduction, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

"Tianheng? Yanzi? Ohhh~~~"

Yu Tianlin deliberately drew out his tone, revealing an expression that said he understood everything.

"Ahem." Seeing his younger brother's expression, Yu Tianheng gave a guilty dry cough. To cover up his embarrassment, he irritably slapped Yu Tianlin on the head and introduced her to him. "Little Lin, this is classmate Dugu Yan. She's my... good friend. You can just call her Sister Yanzi."

"Don't touch my head!"

Yu Tianlin rolled his eyes at his elder brother. What if you accidentally ruin my Antenna Hair?

"Little Lin, hello. I'm Dugu Yan. My martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent, and I'm a level twenty-nine Control System Battle Spirit Master," Dugu Yan greeted him with a smile. "I didn't expect you to already be a student of Thunderbolt Academy at only eight. That's amazing."

"Hello, Sister Yanzi. You're very pretty too." Yu Tianlin complimented Dugu Yan, then introduced himself as well. "My name is Yu Tianlin. My martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and I'm a level twenty-two Assault System Battle Spirit Master."

After they had introduced themselves, Yu Tianlin felt a little puzzled and turned to ask his elder brother, "Big Brother, I ran into Brother Tianxin today. He's level twenty-eight now, so you should be about the same as him, level twenty-eight too. In that case, Sister Yanzi is one level higher than you?"

After exchanging a look with Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng explained, "Yanzi is three years older than me. It's normal for her level to be higher than mine."

"Oh~, three years older." Hearing that subtle age gap, Yu Tianlin nodded in understanding, his tone growing airy again. "A wife three years older is worth a brick of gold. That age is just right."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Yu Tianheng choked outright on his younger brother's words, while Dugu Yan found them very pleasing. Her favorable impression of this younger brother of Yu Tianheng whom she had only just met instantly shot up by a level.
