In Douluo, All the Goddesses Have Fallen Apart: Chapter 30

What surprised them, however, was that the people behind their mentor were not Xue Hui and Lin Bin.

When Wu Xing saw the two figures behind Yu Feng, his mouth fell slightly open. Though he had already had some suspicions, seeing them for real still made his heart pound fiercely.

Those two were none other than Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Yu Feng stepped before everyone, swept his gaze over the students, and slowly said, "After a decision by the Teaching Committee, some adjustments have been made for this All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling will be joining your team."

"As for Xue Hui and Lin Bin, they have been transferred to the First Team. Welcome your new teammates."

"What?!" At Yu Feng's words, everyone except Wu Xing and Su Ruoxi cried out in shock.

When they had first seen the two women, they had thought the First Team had come to exchange pointers with the Second Team. Never had they expected them to be joining their team.

Yu Feng was not surprised by the students' astonishment. When he had received the notice last night, he had also found it hard to believe.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both pillars of the First Team. While joining the Second Team would raise its overall strength, it would also considerably weaken the First Team.

Logically, the Teaching Committee would only make such an arrangement if they had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

After all, a team needed strong members joining forces to bring out its greatest combat power, go further, and win greater honors for the academy. Crippling both arms to balance the strength of two teams was something only an idiot would do.

Yet that was the reality, and he had no choice but to believe it. He was merely a senior instructor at the academy. Though he could not understand the higher-ups' reasoning, he could only follow their arrangements.

After their initial surprise, the students quickly grew excited and eagerly welcomed them. "Welcome to the Second Team! If there's anything you need to ask, just say so."

"That's right. If either of you needs help in the future, just tell us."

"Yes, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, my name is Ding Yunkai. I'm very happy you've joined us."

"I... I'm Zhang Tianyun. Welcome, both of you."

In an instant, the male students rushed to introduce themselves, hoping to leave an impression on the two beauties.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had previously been on the First Team, and those male students had all been stronger than them. They had never had a chance to show themselves off before the goddesses. But now things were different. They all wanted to get close first and win their favor.

Female Spirit Masters were already rare. The only woman on their team had been Su Ruoxi, who was Wu Xing's girlfriend, so they had never stood a chance. But now two more girls had arrived—two goddesses who had always been the academy's most popular. How could they not be excited? How could they not try their best to curry favor with them?

Unfortunately, they had not stopped to consider why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who had no rivals in the academy, would willingly lower themselves from the First Team to the Second Team for no reason.

Ignoring the male students trying to flatter her, Dugu Yan walked past them and came before Wu Xing. She immediately lifted her proud little chin and said, "Wu Xing, Ling Ling and I have joined your team now. Aren't you going to welcome us?"

"Welcome, welcome." Wu Xing looked at the slightly tsundere Dugu Yan and clapped his hands helplessly.

This girl had really persuaded her grandfather to let her and Ye Lingling join the Second Team.

He had to admit, having a Titled Douluo grandfather really did let one do whatever one pleased at the academy. She could be transferred whenever she wanted, join whenever she wanted, without even a moment's hesitation.

Dugu Yan was very pleased at his reaction. She hummed smugly. "Now you know how amazing I am, right?"

"Awesome." Wu Xing gave her a thumbs-up.

What else could he say? This girl had practically turned the academy into her family's private property. Wasn't that impressive enough?

At that moment, Ye Lingling also parted the crowd and walked up to Wu Xing. She gave him a radiant smile. "Wu Xing, starting today, we're teammates. Please take care of me."

Compared to Dugu Yan's haughty charm, Ye Lingling was far more ethereal, a sight that pleased the eye.

"I never expected you to go along with Dugu Yan's nonsense too." Wu Xing smiled and shook his head.

It was not strange for a straightforward girl like Dugu Yan to do something like this. But Ye Lingling had not only failed to stop her—she had joined in as well. That was rather unexpected.

"Do you think this doesn't seem like me?" A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Ye Lingling's lips, completely changing her usual elegant demeanor.

"Yes." Wu Xing nodded.

"Because the person I like is here too."

Ye Lingling's clear eyes flickered. Her silver dress danced in the wind as she gazed at Wu Xing.

"Holy shit!" Wu Xing's eyes widened. This woman was confessing to him!

Ye Lingling had always given him the impression of someone ethereal and removed from the world, with the grace of a refined young lady.

Yet such a beauty was confessing to him directly in front of so many people. The contrast could not have been greater.

"Ling Ling..." Dugu Yan's mouth fell open in shock, her face full of disbelief.

She had never imagined that the usually elegant and serene Ye Lingling could do something so bold, revealing her feelings for Wu Xing directly before the students and instructors.

Su Ruoxi was equally stunned. She had sensed that Ling Ling liked her man, but she had not expected her to do something so earth-shattering. It did not suit her usual temperament at all.

As for the male students, they had already been envious when Dugu Yan ignored them and approached Wu Xing of her own accord. Now that Ye Lingling had confessed to him, their hearts shattered like cracking glass, pieces scattering everywhere...

Yu Feng, as everyone's instructor, had not expected such a scene either. His mouth opened, but he had no idea what to say.

The academy did not forbid relationships, but Wu Xing was simply too incredible. How long had he even been here? He had already hooked the academy's number one female support Spirit Master!

And apparently that was not all. Su Ruoxi, the second-best support Spirit Master, was already this kid's girlfriend.

Yu Feng could not help sighing. Young people these days really were something else. If he had been as good at making women like him at that age, why would he have worried about finding a few girlfriends?

Of course, for them—especially for people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy—having several girlfriends or dating several women was nothing surprising.

After all, which of their fathers or family elders did not have several wives and concubines...

Chapter 65: Yu Tianheng's Challenge

"Are you serious?" Wu Xing looked at Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling met Wu Xing's gaze without the slightest fear and replied earnestly, "Of course."

The reason she was acting so boldly today, so differently from her usual self, was because of what Dugu Yan had said yesterday. It had made her feel a sense of urgency.

Once she made a decision, she never hesitated. As for breaking the hearts of those students who pursued her, so what? What did that have to do with her?

"Fine." Wu Xing accepted her confession. "But you know me. You won't be the only one. If you can't bear that, I suggest you don't throw yourself into the fire."

Since she had already said so much, how could he, as a man, back down? But there was one thing he had to make clear.

"It doesn't matter." Ye Lingling's earnest expression broke into a smile, like a blooming begonia flower—beautiful and captivating.

Naturally, she knew Wu Xing would not have only her, and there would only be more women by his side in the future. But having him say it openly himself made him far better than those hypocritical men.

Moreover, she understood that although Wu Xing was flirtatious, he would sincerely cherish his women. Su Ruoxi was proof of that.

His care for Su Ruoxi was meticulous in every way. Even the Diary Instance invitation card, such an immense opportunity, he had given to a woman who was already his without the slightest hesitation. That alone put him above countless men.

Rather than marrying some noble heir in the future and becoming one of his wives or concubines, why should she not pursue the person she liked?

The people nearby began doubting their lives after hearing their conversation. Zhan Minghui, in particular, admired Wu Xing to the point of complete submission. To openly state that he would not have only one woman, yet still have a goddess determined to throw herself at him—calling him the reincarnation of a love saint would not be excessive.

But the shock was far from over. What happened next left them even more dumbfounded.

Seeing that the two had confirmed their relationship in the blink of an eye, Dugu Yan immediately became anxious. "Wu Xing, what about me?"

Ling Ling had now publicly declared herself his woman, but Dugu Yan had yet to receive his personal acknowledgment.

"What about you?" Wu Xing rolled his eyes.

"I... I want to be your woman too!" Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and gathered her courage.

The moment Dugu Yan's words fell, thuds rang out as the students collapsed to the ground on the spot, wailing in despair.

What kind of magic did Brother Wu possess to win the favor of the two great goddesses at the same time?!

"Sure. As long as you don't get jealous, I don't mind." Wu Xing smiled. Taking one was the same as taking two.

Why would he refuse such a good thing?

"I... I won't." Afraid he would change his mind, Dugu Yan answered anxiously.

Yu Feng watched all of this unfold, unsure what to say. If he had Wu Xing's charm, he would not still be single even now.

Of course, he understood now. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had suddenly joined the Second Team because of this kid standing before him.

Seeing the welcome ceremony for the new teammates about to turn into a massive matchmaking event, Yu Feng coughed and fulfilled his duties as an instructor. "Ahem, enough. Since everyone has gotten acquainted, let's prepare for Simulated Training."

With their instructor speaking, everyone snapped out of their despair.

But at that moment, a group of people hurried over from the distance. They were unmistakably students from the First Team.

Every one of them wore an angry expression, and murderous intent radiated from their bodies. Clearly, they had come with ill intent.

"Wu Xing, I challenge you to a duel!" Yu Tianheng led the First Team members over and challenged Wu Xing without another word.

They had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest. Before they had even rested, their instructor informed them that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had left their team and joined the Second Team.

Only after questioning him further did they learn what had happened. The two goddesses of their team had both been stolen away by Wu Xing.

No man could tolerate something like that. How would the other students look at them afterward?

There was no need to guess. They would surely say that the men of the First Team were all useless weaklings, unable to stop outsiders from stealing their goddesses away.

Besides, he had always been infatuated with Dugu Yan. He could accept this even less.

Dugu Yan saw Yu Tianheng storming over in anger and challenging Wu Xing without hesitation. She immediately shouted, "Yu Tianheng, what are you doing?!"

"Yanyan, this is between men. It has nothing to do with you." Yu Tianheng glanced at Dugu Yan before looking at Wu Xing again. "Wu Xing, you're not going to hide behind women, are you?"

"You're sure you want to challenge me?" Wu Xing smiled at Yu Tianheng's provocation.

Seeing Wu Xing's calm expression, Yu Tianheng's heart skipped a beat. Recalling Wu Xing's earlier spar with Dugu Yan, he felt somewhat uncertain. But for the sake of his pride as a man, he could only force himself to say, "O-of course. If I win, Yanyan and Ling Ling must return to the First Team."

"No... you've got that wrong." Wu Xing raised a finger and shook it. "They aren't objects and can't be used as stakes. Besides, I have no right to decide whether they stay or leave, even if they are both my women."

Wu Xing's words instantly touched Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's hearts. A man who respected them so much was simply too handsome.

"Then what do you want?" Yu Tianheng frowned.

"If I lose, I'll leave the Royal Academy's Second Team. If I win, none of you are to bother me again." Wu Xing answered calmly.

He was not speaking only to Yu Tianheng, but directly to all five of them.

Yu Tianheng's expression shifted several times before he finally nodded. "Fine, I agree."

"Good. With Instructor Yu Feng here, how about having him serve as referee?" Wu Xing asked.

"Fine." Yu Tianheng looked at Yu Feng and agreed.

"Instructor Yu Feng, you've seen the situation. Please be our referee." Wu Xing smiled at Yu Feng.

Yu Feng did not think much of it and nodded. "All right. Let's go to the arena."

He was naturally happy to see competition among the students. As for whether Wu Xing could defeat Yu Tianheng, he had complete confidence.

After all, Wu Xing had easily defeated Dugu Yan in their previous spar.

And Yu Tianheng would not even dare claim certain victory against Dugu Yan.

There was another reason as well. He had selfishly kept something from the Teaching Committee.

Wu Xing's Soul Power Level had already reached level 35!

He feared that if he reported the speed at which Wu Xing's Soul Power Level had risen, the Teaching Committee would reevaluate him and possibly transfer him back to the First Team to avoid complications. For the sake of his own prospects as an instructor, he had temporarily concealed it.

"There's no need to go to the arena, Instructor Yu Feng. I'll spar with them right here. It won't take much time anyway." Wu Xing spoke with complete confidence.

Yu Tianheng's expression darkened at Wu Xing's arrogance. This guy truly did not take him seriously, actually claiming it would not take long!

"If that's the case, then let me properly experience your Blue Silver Grass."

Yu Tianheng roared and instantly summoned his Martial Soul. Four optimal Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—appeared beneath his feet. He had already reached the rank of Soul Ancestor.

Yet the most eye-catching thing was not his Soul Rings or Soul Power Level, but the enormous top-tier beast Martial Soul behind him, crackling with lightning—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

"No, you've got it wrong again." Wu Xing looked at the battle-ready Yu Tianheng, shook his finger once more, and said, "I meant all of you can come at me together..."

Chapter 66: Crushing the First Team

"What?!" Yu Tianheng stared at Wu Xing in disbelief. This guy had actually said he wanted them all to attack together!

Not only could Yu Tianheng not believe it, the other four First Team students were equally stunned. The man before them was arrogant beyond all bounds.

He wanted all five of them to attack together? Even a Spirit King would not dare be so arrogant. Yet a mere Soul Elder was speaking such shameless nonsense.

They admitted that he was powerful, capable of crushing level-40 Dugu Yan with only level-31 Soul Power. But did he really think that meant he could face all five of them? How much had he drunk to be this wasted?

"Wu Xing, don't talk nonsense." Yu Feng was likewise shocked by Wu Xing's words. Recovering himself, he immediately rebuked him.

Wu Xing was his trump card. He still needed him to make his future prospects smoother, so how could he let him act recklessly?

He firmly believed Wu Xing could defeat Yu Tianheng, but one person facing five? No matter how highly he regarded Wu Xing, he did not think it possible.

Besides, the stake for losing was leaving the Second Team. As the referee, he could not show favoritism in front of so many students. How could he agree?
