Soon, Dugu Yan and the others finished eating and casually wandered around Nuoding City.
The streets of Nuoding City were bustling with pedestrians.
Compared to the prosperous Tiandou Imperial City, this border town seemed somewhat rundown and backward.
On the way to Nuoding Academy, Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered as she secretly sent Dugu Yan a message through the private chat interface of the Diary Copy.
[Ning Rongrong: Sister Yanyan, I suddenly thought of a problem.] [Ning Rongrong: In the diary, Lin Yuan only knows that I have the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, but because of the system's reward, I now have the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!] [Ning Rongrong: If I accidentally give myself away when we meet, Won't It Be that he suspects we have a system too?]
Dugu Yan, walking beside her, was also stunned when she saw the messages.
This really was a problem.
After all, the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had never been heard of even in the history of Douluo Continent.
[Dugu Yan: Emm... that really is hard to explain.] [Dugu Yan: But don't worry too much. If you really give yourself away, just play dumb.] [Dugu Yan: You have Innate Full Soul Power anyway. It's reasonable for your Martial Soul to undergo a little "beneficial mutation," Right?]
Dugu Yan clearly did not have a better solution either. All she could do was tell Ning Rongrong to play dumb and avoid revealing any other flaws.
The two discussed it enthusiastically in their private messages, believing they had covered everything perfectly.
Little did they know that appearing in Nuoding City itself was their greatest flaw!
Two Eldest Misses of noble status, abandoning perfectly good High-level academies to bring Titled Douluos to such a rural place to "relax"?
Not even ghosts would believe that excuse.
Nuoding Academy, Sports Field.
The noon sunlight was somewhat glaring, but to Lin Yuan, it was the perfect time to temper his body.
Holding the God-Slaying Spear, Lin Yuan moved like lightning as he practiced the basic spear forms from the Chaos God-Slaying Record.
Thrust, lift, sweep, smash!
Every thrust produced a deep explosive boom in the air. Fallen leaves around him were swept up by the gusts from his spear and neatly sliced in half midair.
Meanwhile, beneath the shade of a tree at the edge of the Sports Field.
Xiao Wu sat on a stone bench. She appeared to be resting, but in truth, she could not sit still.
From time to time, she looked toward the academy gate. Her Rabbit ears nervously perked up, then drooped back down.
"Strange..."
Lin Yuan withdrew his spear and stood still. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he walked over to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you today?"
"You've been absent-minded since this morning. You were distracted while practicing Leg Technique just now too."
"You seem... a little restless?"
Xiao Wu's delicate body suddenly stiffened.
Oh no!
Was I that obvious?
It was the mutual resonance between the Diary Copies!
As those two women drew closer, the diary in her mind had been constantly trembling, warning her that "others like her" were approaching.
"Nothing... nothing!"
Xiao Wu's gaze darted around as she hastily made up an excuse.
"It's just that my Leg Technique cultivation has recently hit a bottleneck. I always feel like something is missing, so I'm a little anxious."
Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully, secretly amused. Xiao Wu really did not know how to lie.
It seemed some "guests" he did not know about had arrived.
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking this, he casually raised his head and instantly locked onto the entrance of the Sports Field.
Four figures were leisurely strolling in from there.
At the front were two exceptionally beautiful Young Girls.
One wore a light green fitted outfit. She had a voluptuous figure and exuded a wild air.
The other wore a cyan gown. Her bearing was noble, like a princess who had stepped out of a painting.
But Lin Yuan's gaze did not linger on them for long.
His attention was immediately drawn to the two old men behind them.
The one on the left had Dark Green hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes were sinister, and his entire body emanated a cold Aura that kept strangers away.
As for the one on the right... Lin Yuan's Pupils narrowed slightly.
He wore spotless white robes, and his Silver hair was combed with meticulous precision.
Though he was merely walking casually, he resembled a Sharp sword sheathed in its scabbard!
His edge was concealed, yet it seemed to be everywhere!
"This feeling..."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred. Not only was he not afraid, but the Spear Intent within his body began to boil on its own.
It was the excitement of encountering a powerful kindred spirit!
"The green-haired old poison guy, and Sword Douluo with Sword Intent soaring to the heavens."
"Heh, they've finally come."
Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand trembled slightly, releasing a clear hum.
They had arrived even later than he expected.
He had originally thought that Dugu Yan would rush over the moment she learned that he had a way to cure poison, all for the sake of survival.
He had not expected her to drag it out for so long.
But it was good that they had come.
"Hmm?"
Almost the instant Lin Yuan looked toward Chen Xin.
This Guardian god of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo known as the number one in attack power, abruptly stopped walking.
His previously calm eyes instantly sharpened as he stared straight at the Young man in the center of the Sports Field.
"What powerful Spear Intent!"
Chen Xin was startled inwardly.
He had merely accompanied his Little Princess here to relax. He had not paid any attention to the students in this place at all.
Yet just moments ago, he had sensed an extremely pure and domineering intent, carrying even a trace of Destructive aura!
That intent was still immature, but its foundation was extraordinarily high. It could even resonate with his Seven Kill Sword!
"He's only a six- or seven-year-old child?"
Chen Xin looked at Lin Yuan, the surprise in his eyes deepening.
"He awakened his Martial Soul only a few months ago, yet he has already cultivated Spear Intent?"
"What kind of Monstrous talent is this?"
At that moment, because they were close enough.
The Diary Copies in Ning Rongrong's and Dugu Yan's minds vibrated at their peak frequency.
They instantly locked onto the Cute girl with a scorpion braid beside Lin Yuan.
"That must be Xiao Wu, Right?"
"She really is adorable!"
Ning Rongrong thought to herself, then smoothed her skirt and put on the standard smile of a Young lady from a prominent family.
With graceful steps, she walked directly toward Lin Yuan.
"Hello."
Ning Rongrong clasped her hands behind her back and looked at Lin Yuan with a bright smile, her In Her Eyes full of curiosity. "Can we get acquainted?"
"My name is Ning Rongrong."
"I saw you practicing your spear from afar just now. Although I don't understand spear techniques, it felt very imposing."
Faced with this proactive approach from the "Seven Treasures Little Rich Woman."
Lin Yuan showed neither surprise nor flattered delight.
With a flick of his wrist, the God-Slaying Spear turned into specks of Black light and vanished.
Then he politely nodded, his tone calm. "Hello, I'm Lin Yuan. May I ask what you need?"
Seeing Lin Yuan act as though I don't know you, and I'm very aloof.
Xiao Wu could not help rolling her eyes dramatically as she ranted wildly in her heart.
"Tsk!"
"Keep pretending! Go on, pretend!"
"The system really should give you an acting award!"
