"My husband, I've finished cultivating."
Tang Yuehua opened her eyes and smiled at Huang Tian, who had been waiting beside her.
"Mm, I watched the whole time. There's no issue with this new version of the Nine Heavens Profound Technique. But to verify it a few more times, I'll need to stay by your side while you cultivate over the next few days."
Huang Tian smiled. Just because Tang Yuehua had encountered no problems during her first cultivation of the new Nine Heavens Profound Technique did not mean no problems would arise later. No one could say whether this new technique might develop issues in the future. For her safety, it was necessary for him to remain and observe for a while longer.
After withdrawing the Black Hole Domain, Huang Tian rose from the bed. Just as he stepped down, Tang Yuehua asked, "My husband, where are you going?"
Without looking back, Huang Tian said, "Out to get something to eat."
"Wait, I'm coming too. I'm hungry as well!" Tang Yuehua hurriedly got out of bed.
After getting down from the bed, Tang Yuehua linked her arm with Huang Tian's, and the two headed for the door. They opened it and walked out of the room.
Over at Blue Tyrant Academy, after the people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy blocked the gates, the spoiled and arrogant Dugu Yan stepped forward, planted her hands on her hips, and said, "Call out the Shrek Seven Devils. We'll fight again. Last month at Soto Great Spirit Arena, you only won through a sneak attack. That doesn't count."
The gatekeeper was a middle-aged Soul Master hired by Blue Tyrant Academy, a level forty-nine Soul Ancestor. Seeing this group arrive so aggressively and block the academy gates, it was obvious they had come with ill intent. Some of them exuded powerful auras, and under that pressure, even with his strength, he felt like drifting duckweed, liable to be knocked down at any moment.
However, remembering that his academy's dean was a Title Douluo who had entered the Peerless Prodigy Ranking, he found much more courage. Standing behind the academy gates, he shouted, "If you've come to find someone, why have you blocked the gates of Blue Tyrant Academy without even presenting a calling card? You are seriously interfering with our students and teachers entering and leaving the academy. Don't you know this is extremely discourteous?"
"You're just a lowly gatekeeper. Hurry up and open the gates. We're here to challenge the Shrek Seven Devils to another spirit battle," Dugu Yan said disdainfully.
From afar came the cry of an owl. A Soul Master flew through the air and landed nearby. After cupping his hands in greeting, he said, "Everyone, I am Flender, vice dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. What are you doing here?"
"Vice Dean Flender, greetings. We are from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Last time, your students, the Shrek Seven Devils, defeated us through a sneak attack at Soto Great Spirit Arena. Our academy teachers believed that was dishonorable, so we have come to challenge them to another spirit battle," Dugu Yan said politely, putting away her haughtiness. There was no helping it. Even though she was Poison Douluo's granddaughter, her status was still far beneath that of high-level Soul Masters such as an academy dean.
Flender said doubtfully, "You came too late. They aren't in the academy. They went to the Star Dou Great Forest to train."
"How is that possible? Our intelligence agents said they were still at the academy yesterday," Dugu Yan said in shock.
"That's right. After the rankings were announced, their strength improved again. Last night, we arranged for them to head to the Star Dou Great Forest overnight to hunt soul beasts and obtain their fifth Soul Rings. After all, it takes several days to travel from here to the Star Dou Great Forest," Flender explained patiently.
"What? Fifth Soul Rings? Some of them have already advanced to level fifty Soul Kings?" Dugu Yan asked in shock.
"Mm. After all, they're people who made it onto both the Prodigy Ranking and the Martial Soul Ranking. It's only natural for their strength to advance rapidly," Flender said proudly.
"They made it onto both rankings? Such geniuses are actually students at your bottom-ranked advanced Soul Master Academy? No, you must hand them over to us. We'll bring them back to the Royal Academy for training." Prince Xue Xing, who had come with them, was shocked, but his heart soon burned with excitement. If he could bring those geniuses back to the Royal Academy to nurture, he would have seven Title Douluo subordinates in the future.
"They are students of our academy. We will never hand them over to you, not even if you are the Heaven Dou Royal Family," Flender refused coldly. What a joke. Our Second Dragon is a level ninety-six Peerless Title Douluo, and her husband is Lord Huang Tian, who has become a god. What right do you have to snatch the Seven Devils from us?
"Hmm." Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo standing behind Prince Xue Xing, stepped forward. He released his Soul Rings and aura, pressing down on Flender.
"Nine? A Title Douluo!" Flender was startled. Even a mere prince has a Title Douluo enshrined protector? The waters of the Heaven Dou Royal Family run deep indeed. But remembering the backing behind him, he said, "Your Excellency, do you know the name of our academy's dean? Her name is Liu Erlong, the level ninety-six Peerless Title Douluo who entered the rankings a month ago. She comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and she founded this academy. If you insist on taking action, then come."
A hundred meters away, the members of the Guard Team sent by Huang Tian saw that one of the troublemakers was a Title Douluo. Li Kai, the younger brother of the coachman Li Fu, said, "The Hall Master forbade us from acting outside, but these people have come to cause trouble for the academy founded by the First Madam. The First Madam is in seclusion cultivating. I think we should go to the Second Madam and ask the Hall Master for instructions, to see if he will grant our Guard Team the right to retaliate."
"Mm, go. He's merely a poison-using Title Douluo, yet he dares come here looking for trouble. This is a slap in our faces. Go, but don't let anyone discover you," coachman Li Fu said.
"Alright." With that, he slipped out from the other side of the academy and headed toward Moonlight Pavilion.
At the academy gates, the people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy immediately went weak in the legs upon hearing that the dean was Liu Erlong. Damn it, how could it be her? She is the wife of Lord Huang Tian, the new god. Offending her is the same as offending a god. If a god takes action, not only will all of us die here, we will also implicate the Heaven Dou Royal Family. What kind of investigation did those intelligence agents conduct? They actually missed such crucial information! If I make it back alive, I'll skin him alive and tear out his tendons!
Prince Xue Xing said with an ingratiating smile, "Vice Dean, we did not know that Lady Liu Erlong was the founder of your academy. Since those who do not know cannot be blamed, please spare us. We are willing to compensate you."
"Spare you? Fine, then. What compensation are you prepared to offer? After all, you came here looking for trouble. We can choose not to pursue the matter, but you still have to compensate us," Flender said expectantly upon hearing there would be compensation.
"One million Gold Soul Coins and ten spirit herbs," Prince Xue Xing said painfully.
"No, that's too little." Flender was immediately disappointed. If he were still the dean of Shrek Academy, he might have agreed at once. But now he was the vice dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, the legitimate vice dean of a proper advanced Soul Master Academy. Such little compensation was simply beneath Blue Tyrant Academy's standing.
"Ten million Gold Soul Coins and thirty spirit herbs." Seeing that Flender was dissatisfied, Prince Xue Xing could only grit his teeth and make a painful concession.
"Deal." Seeing the compensation suddenly increase so drastically, Flender agreed.
After receiving the compensation from Prince Xue Xing, Flender stored the spirit herbs in a Spatial Soul Tool given to him by Liu Erlong, which had a capacity of one hundred cubic meters. He rubbed the black card holding a balance of ten million with his right hand, beaming as he loudly called out, "Welcome back next time!"
Hearing Flender's punchable words, Prince Xue Xing suppressed his anger and left with the people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If I can't afford to provoke them, can't I at least avoid them?
