Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team (Seek Follow-up Reads)

After the immense shock came an indescribable surge of ecstasy flooding his heart.

The Martial Soul Hall finally had a second person with a Diary Copy! And it was the teacher she revered and trusted most!

"Wonderful, Teacher!" Hu Liena's radiant face bloomed into a brilliant smile, the earlier anxiety swept clean away. "Working together, we can definitely gain more from this diary!"

Bibi Dong watched her disciple, who had instantly regained her vitality and even seemed eager to act, and a faint, almost imperceptible glint flickered deep within her violet eyes. She said nothing more, merely nodding slightly.

A few days later, Blue Tyrant Academy, Courtyard Seven.

Yu Tiancheng sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the training room, not meditating, but unconsciously tapping his fingers against his knee.

Thanks to the earlier "Three-Move Pact" with Tailong, he hadn't been casually provoked by others all week.

During the day, he attended classes and trained; at night, he delved into the profound laws and subtle changes contained within the Time Dragon Spear.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team..." he murmured to himself, his fingers pausing. "This theme... the intention is way too obvious."

They just wanted him to write more about the team members, to reveal more future information.

"Fine, if I'm going to write, I'll write something interesting." With a thought, he summoned the Diary, golden light spreading before him.

[This week's diary theme is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team]

[Since the theme is the team, let's talk about this group destined to "contribute" quite a few iconic scenes in the future plot. Let's start with the "victim" list]

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, by the lake.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling immediately sat up straight, their eyes locked onto the copy in their hands.

They had chosen this theme; the rewards were important, but they also wanted to know what really happened in the future.

[Captain Yu Tianheng, also my cousin. Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, thirty-ninth level Battle Soul Elder, Attack System. Strength, prestige, leadership—he's got it all, the absolute core of the team. He's steady and responsible, but also carries the pride befitting a heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. That pride will one day suffer a blow worthy of being called a "childhood trauma"—courtesy of our Child of Destiny, Tang San, and his Blue Silver Grass]

"Tang San? Blue Silver Grass?" Dugu Yan's jade-green snake eyes were full of doubt. "The captain gets crushed by that trash martial soul? What a joke!"

Shrek Academy, girls' dormitory.

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing had just finished that day's "demonic weighted run," drenched in sweat, huddled together as they watched the suddenly updated diary.

"Third Brother... is he really that strong in the future? He can even crush a Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes, her tone filled with awe. The past few days of training and the experience in the Star Dou Great Forest had given her a new appreciation for Tang San's strength.

"Of course, my brother is a genius!" Xiao Wu lifted her chin, beaming with pride, her scorpion-tail braid gently swaying.

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but a faint glimmer passed through her cool eyes.

The diary continued:

[Vice-captain Dugu Yan, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, master of poison techniques, the team's control core and Yu Tianheng's tacit partner]

Seeing this, Dugu Yan's lips curled slightly. She felt choosing this theme was totally worth it.

[However, her poison will also be cracked by Tang San in the future. The method? Heated Realgar Wine? Or fire-roasted realgar? Tsk, honestly, reading that part, I almost thought I was looking at a collection of folk remedies. A top-tier snake venom in a fantasy world, taken down by such a "simple" method—if it's not the protagonist's halo forcing it, I don't believe it]

Dugu Yan's smile instantly froze, her jade-green pupils contracting sharply. "Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison... cracked by realgar wine and fire? How is that possible!"

A wave of absurdity, anger, and vague unease rushed to her head, making her breathing quicken.

Ye Lingling gently grasped her hand, her eyes filled with even deeper worry.

[Nine Heart Begonia Ye Lingling, heir to the world's number one healing tool martial soul. With her around, the team's margin for error is maxed out. But what about her? The Nine Heart Begonia lineage is passed down through a single line, only two exist per generation... This setting practically has 'tragedy core' written all over it. She's the team's strongest support, yet she might also be the loneliest one, bearing all the healing pressure alone]

Ye Lingling's fingers tightened slightly on the copy, the tips turning white. Her cool eyes stared at those lines, and the deepest, tautest string in her heart was gently plucked.

He really does know everything.

[Honestly, this setting is kind of unfair. The healer class is already hard enough, and then they pile on this bloodline curse, like they're afraid she doesn't have enough pressure, right?]

Ye Lingling bit her lip, and a faint resonance and... an indescribable bitterness stirred in her heart.

A burden no one understood was being acknowledged and defended by a stranger in this mysterious diary.

[Shi Mo and his Black Tortoise defense, Yu Feng's aerial vision, Osler's stealth attacks... On paper, the lineup is luxurious. Balanced in attack, defense, support, control, and speed. In the academy world of the Heaven Dou Empire, they walk sideways, bathed in glory and endless praise]

[But the true highlights of their story begin with two collisions destined to be recorded in the 'Shrek Seven Devils' legend]

Yu Tiancheng's pen shifted, beginning to narrate the "story."

[The first collision happened at the Suo Tuo Great Soul Arena. At that time, the Heaven Dou team was full of vigor and looked down on everyone. They accepted a cross-level challenge from a team called 'Shrek Seven Devils.' The result? Heh heh... they lost clean and neat, a textbook lesson]

"Shrek Seven Devils?" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance and immediately flipped back—it was Tang San's group! But winning a cross-level challenge? How was that possible?

[Yu Tianheng's pride was shattered head-on by Tang San's control and Dai Mubai's strong attack; Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was cracked by Tang San's realgar wine and flames, nearly backfiring on her own side; Shi Mo and Shi Mo's absolute defense was broken by Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's flexible coordination; Yu Feng and Osler were heavily countered by Ma Hongjun and the elusive Xiao Wu. Ye Lingling's healing was powerful, but facing a total collapse situation, even she couldn't turn the tide]

The words were like a precise battle review, painting a crushing defeat in vivid detail.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's faces gradually paled. Even unwilling to believe it, the suffocating feeling of being completely countered tactically and routed on all fronts pressed down on them through the page.

Over at Shrek Academy, the three girls were also stunned.

"We... coordinate that well in the future?"

Ning Rongrong murmured, recalling the chaotic team battle just a few days ago that had Master cursing them out, feeling like it was a dream.

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled: "Looks like our potential is limitless!"

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist, a faint fighting spirit burning in her eyes. Defeating a strong team like that was actually quite appealing.
