After returning to his dormitory, Tang Yu felt quite restless. "Sigh, tonight was truly exhausting. Oh well, brother, you've been with me for so many years, so I certainly can't treat you poorly. I'll let you taste the fine grain when there's an opportunity later."
Saying this, Tang Yu entered the bathroom.
A short while later, he walked out feeling refreshed and lay down on his bed to sleep.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling did not sleep a wink all night.
The two girls tossed and turned in their respective beds, their minds filled with what had happened the previous night.
Dugu Yan realized that she seemed to have fallen completely in love with Tang Yu.
Even Ye Lingling was a late bloomer; when she saw Dugu Yan pounce on Tang Yu and kiss him on the sofa, a wave of jealousy had surged in her heart at that very moment.
Especially when Tang Yu said he wanted to take Dugu Yan to a secret room, her immediate, intense reaction was that it wasn't allowed.
In the end, after that kiss from Tang Yu, she wasn't even the least bit angry.
Ye Lingling understood now; it turned out she had also developed feelings for Tang Yu long ago!
"Looking at Yan Yan's expression, it seems she has already fallen for Tang Yu. And then there's that Zhu Zhuqing—every time we have group training, the way she looks at Tang Yu is so strange. It seems she is also interested in him."
"With such an outstanding boy being liked by so many girls, no! If I don't take the initiative, I'm afraid someone else will beat me to it." After realizing her own feelings, Ye Lingling made up her mind.
She clenched her fists to encourage herself. "Ye Lingling! You can do it!"
On the other side, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
After Dugu Bo absorbed the Jade Poison Purple Dragon Ganoderma given to him by Tang Yu, his Soul Power broke through once again, rising from level 92 to level 93.
Dugu Bo was absolutely thrilled. "I broke through! I broke through again! Hahaha! Hahaha! Level 93! I actually broke through 2 levels of Soul Power in just two short days! Wonderful! Simply wonderful!!"
"The Master is truly the benefactor for both my granddaughter and me! If only my granddaughter Yan Yan could be with the Master."
"But the Master's talent is so heaven-defying, and he is also damnably handsome. Such a young man must be a heartthrob for countless young maidens! No, I must fan the flames and find a way to bring the Master and Yan Yan together."
Dugu Bo knew well that this world admired strength. He understood perfectly the lethality that someone with great talent, great strength, and good looks held for young girls.
He had decided!
He would go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as a teaching assistant and serve as the team leader for this year's Heaven Dou Academy, guiding the reserve team members in their cultivation.
The next day, Dugu Bo went to Heaven Dou Academy early.
With his status as a Titled Douluo, the academy was naturally more than happy to have him guide and tutor a group of students in their cultivation.
Soon, Dugu Bo replaced the previous team leader, Teacher Wang, and took over as the team leader for Heaven Dou Academy in this year's tournament.
At this moment.
On the training grounds where the reserve team practiced.
Everyone was surprised to learn that Dugu Bo would be leading their training, except for Xiao Wu, who was terrified and instinctively hid behind Tang San.
Dugu Bo stood before the group and said, "From today on, I, Dugu Bo, will serve as your team leader to guide your cultivation."
"Now, release your Martial Souls one by one and report your Soul Power Level. I need to have a basic understanding of where you stand."
Since he had come, Dugu Bo naturally intended to teach them properly.
Everyone followed suit, releasing their Martial Souls and reporting their Soul Power Levels.
When it was Xiao Wu's turn, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, his eyes locking onto her intently. "Hmm? This girl, could it be..."
He had seen through her, and a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
It was at this moment that Tang Yu suddenly stepped in front of Dugu Bo, lowering his voice to say, "Senior Dugu Bo, there is no rush."
Has the Master also seen it? Dugu Bo thought to himself, retracting his killing intent.
Tang Yu transmitted his voice to Dugu Bo using his Soul Power: "Do not make a scene about Xiao Wu being a Soul Beast, and do not show any signs of it. I have my own arrangements; she cannot escape my grasp."
Xiao Wu, this foolish rabbit, had come to the human world with the original intention of avenging her mother.
Yet, instead of hiding away in some small place to develop quietly, the moment she entered the human world, she became love-struck, spending her days mired in romance with the human Tang San.
It was even more absurd that she dared to run to Martial Soul City—the strongest human Soul Master faction, home to the highest number of Titled Douluo—to participate in the finals, practically courting death.
It was as if she were terrified that others wouldn't discover she was a Soul Beast, rushing to deliver her own head on a platter.
Tang Yu had absolutely no fondness for a rabbit with such a bizarre train of thought.
Naturally, he would not let such a Soul Beast, which could provide a 100,000-year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone, slip through his fingers.
Therefore, hunting Xiao Wu was already on Tang Yu's agenda.
But now was not the time.
Because Tang Yu could not yet withstand a 100,000-year Soul Ring, even though it could be absorbed through the method of sacrifice.
And there was no way Xiao Wu would ever sacrifice herself for him.
Capturing Xiao Wu early would also be troublesome; he would have to worry about Tang Hao finding a way to rescue her, while also guarding against the possibility of her choosing to self-destruct while in captivity.
Rather than that, it was better to wait until he could withstand a 100,000-year Soul Ring before killing her and absorbing it.
Tang Yu already had a clear plan for this, and he would never let Xiao Wu escape his grasp.
"I understand, Master." Dugu Bo nodded, acting as if he knew nothing. He continued, "Very well, there are less than ten months left until the start of the Soul Master Competition."
"Four months from now is the day the members for Heaven Dou Team One and Heaven Dou Team Two will be finalized, so you don't have much time left."
"During this period of intensive training, you have developed a certain level of tacit understanding and coordination. You have also gone to the Spirit Fighting Arena to compete in many team matches, haven't you?"
"So today, I will arrange a special practical team training match for you!"
"You are to head to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range outside Heaven Dou City to conduct a field confrontation between teachers and students!"
"A field confrontation between teachers and students?"
Dugu Bo said, "That's right!"
"You 35 reserve members will form five seven-person teams to head to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range."
"The Heavenly Micro Level and Heavenly Ultimate Level teachers from the academy will also form ten seven-person teams to head to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range to pursue you. What you must do is survive for three days in the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range while facing attacks from the teacher teams. If a team has fewer than three people left, they are eliminated!"
"Among the ten teacher teams, there is one ace team. This ace team is composed of one Soul Saint and one Soul Emperor; they are Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming, respectively."
"However, the ace team will only appear on the final day!"
Tang Yu thought to himself, This is a real field team combat exercise!
The Heavenly Micro Level teachers are at least level 41 to 50, while the Heavenly Ultimate Level teachers are level 51 to 59, not to mention the ace team.
And currently, among the reserve members, only Tang Yu is a Soul Ancestor; the others are merely Soul Elders.
It is evident how high the difficulty of this teacher-student battle is.
As for the ace team composed of Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming, both of them have had conflicts with Tang Yu, so it is certain they will be targeting him!
"I must remind you that in this field teacher-student confrontation, some people will be eliminated and kicked out of the reserve team, losing their chance to participate in the grand tournament."
"For your five teams, the first-place team will advance in full. The second, third, and fourth-place teams will each have one person eliminated, and the last-place team will have two people eliminated!"
