Emperor Team's First Gathering (Third Update)

After teasing his big brother a little, Yu Tianlin noticed two burly men with rather exaggerated-looking muscles waiting off to the side.

Yu Tianheng had clearly noticed the two of them as well and quickly introduced them to Yu Tianlin. "These two are the Shi Family Brothers. The older brother is Shi Mo, rank twenty-eight; the younger brother is Shi Mo, rank twenty-seven. Both of their martial souls are Mystic Turtles, top-tier Defense System Beast Martial Souls."

Yu Tianlin greeted them politely. "Hello, Big Brothers Shi."

Shi Mo and Shi Mo nodded at Yu Tianlin. It was obvious the two of them did not like talking much, and they seemed very steady.

Yu Tianheng turned to look toward the neighboring Heavenly Minor Level teaching building and said, "Speaking of which, after class today we didn't go look for them. They'll probably come looking for us any moment now."

No sooner had Yu Tianheng finished speaking than a flippant voice rang out. "Hey, boss, what are you all standing there for?"

Yu Tianlin looked in the direction the voice had come from and saw a figure in midair, flapping his wings as he flew this way, two yellow spirit rings circling around his body.

The youth in flight seemed to have a bird-type martial soul. The wings his arms had transformed into were brownish yellow, and as they beat, they looked extremely solid and textured.

When Yu Tianheng saw this, his expression suddenly darkened, and he snapped, "Flying is forbidden inside the academy. Get down here, now!"

"Don't be so serious, boss. Yanzi won't like it."

Although the youth made a cheeky remark, he still obediently descended from the air and put away his martial soul.

After the youth landed, Yu Tianlin was able to observe him up close and found that he was fairly handsome. His eyes darted about lively, making him look like someone who could never sit still.

"Little Lin, this is Yu Feng. His martial soul is Wind Chime Bird, and his current rank is only twenty-five. He's a Heavenly Minor Level student, so he studies in the building next door." Yu Tianheng turned into a merciless introduction machine. "Yu Feng, this is my younger brother, Yu Tianlin. He's currently studying at Thunderbolt Academy."

"Hello, Big Brother Yu Feng."

"Huh? Boss, you actually have a younger brother?" Yu Feng looked very surprised. "Truly young and promising."

Yu Tianheng did not pick up the topic and directly asked Yu Feng, "Where are Osler and Lingling?"

"They're still behind." Yu Feng chuckled. "I can fly, can't I? So I came over first."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you can fly!"

Suddenly, a figure flashed past. A handsome blond man appeared behind Yu Feng, then pounced hard onto his back.

"Leopard, you bastard, you actually ambushed me!"

Yu Feng bent over, trying to throw the handsome man off his back, but the handsome man clamped his arms tightly around his neck.

Looking at the two of them fooling around in front of him, Yu Tianheng said, "This is Osler. His martial soul is Black Panther, and he's a rank twenty-five Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master. He's in the same class as Yu Feng. The two of them have a pretty good relationship."

"Who has a good relationship with him?!"

However, after hearing Yu Tianheng's words, the two of them refuted him in perfect unison.

"Hmph!"

When they realized the other had actually said the same thing as them, the two snorted coldly at the same time and turned their heads in opposite directions.

Huh. With that level of coordination, the two of them really did seem to have a good relationship.

While Yu Feng and Osler were messing around, a young girl silently walked over.

The girl was the only one among them not wearing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniform. She looked very slender, dressed in black, with a black veil of the same color covering her face, as if she did not want anyone to see her features. Her long blue hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and her similarly blue eyes remained calm from beginning to end, without the slightest emotional ripple.

"Lingling is here too." Yu Tianheng nodded slightly at her, then introduced her. "This is Ye Lingling. Her martial soul is Nine Heart Begonia, and she's a rank twenty-two Support System Tool Soul Master."

Dugu Yan also added, "Lingling is the youngest among us, only ten years old, but she's still two years older than you, Little Lin. Just call her Sister Lingling."

"Hello, Sister Lingling."

Ye Lingling gave a slight nod, which counted as a response to Yu Tianlin.

Looking at the seven people before him, Yu Tianlin felt somewhat emotional. At this point in time, there should still be five years before the Seven Devils fought Emperor Team, right? He had not expected them to become friends so early.

Especially Yu Feng, Osler, and Ye Lingling. The three of them were in Heavenly Minor Level, while Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the Shi Family Brothers were in Heavenly Supreme Level. For them to gather together despite that could only be called fate.

As if he had seen Yu Tianlin's confusion, Yu Tianheng explained, "Little Lin, when you were standing at the classroom door just now, you should have seen it too. Our whole classroom has forty seats, but only a dozen or so students came to class, not even half."

Yu Tianlin thought back and realized that was indeed the case. He could not help asking in surprise, "Uh, where are the rest? Did they all skip class?"

Yu Tianheng sneered. "Heh, it's not as simple as skipping class. After I broke through to rank twenty-six, I advanced to Heavenly Supreme Level, and it's already been a year. To this day, I still haven't seen them. A bunch of silkpants. They've never come to the classroom at all."

Yu Feng, standing beside them, also cut in. "It's the same in our Heavenly Minor Level. The number of people in the classroom has never exceeded fifteen."

Yu Tianlin was quite speechless. He knew Heaven Dou Royal Academy was awful, but he had not expected it to be awful to this extent.

No wonder that, although Heaven Dou Royal Academy was nominally the Heaven Dou Empire's highest institution, it had never even squeezed into the top three of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

The top three in the Soul Master Tournament had always been one place for Spirit Hall Academy, one place for Star Luo Royal Academy, and the remaining place rotating among the Five Elements Academy.

"Even the other guys who keep coming to class are only killing time." Dugu Yan added, "Because their parents are strict, they have no choice but to maintain their attendance and give their parents an explanation. As for after the morning classes are over, they spend the rest of their free time playing around everywhere. At most, when they occasionally get in the mood, they use the academy's mimicry training environments to cultivate a little. One day fishing, two days drying the net."

Yu Tianlin finally understood. The overall atmosphere throughout Heaven Dou Royal Academy was just coasting along, so people like Yu Tianheng and the other six, who worked hard at cultivation, were complete oddities within the academy. Naturally, they had ended up gathering together like this.

Birds of a feather really did flock together.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Yu Tianheng did not want to think about this mess anymore. He patted Yu Tianlin on the shoulder and smiled at his companions. "Little Lin has enrolled in Thunderbolt Academy. I'm very happy, so lunch today is on me!"

"Ha! Boss is treating?!" Yu Feng's eyes lit up. "Boss is loaded. It's rare for him to bleed a little, so we've got to slaughter him properly!"

When the Seven Devils fought Emperor Team, Ye Lingling was fifteen years old and rank thirty-five. What do you think of her?
