I'm a Common Man, and I Love Showing Off

After returning to Heaven Dou Academy, Dugu Yan first went to Yang Yuan's dormitory to convey Dugu Bo's gratitude to him, then invited him to visit.

Yang Yuan had already intended to get close to Dugu Bo in order to make plans for the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Naturally, he gladly accepted Dugu Yan's invitation.

After arranging a time, Dugu Yan left Yang Yuan's dormitory.

The next day.

The students of Heaven Grade Class One gathered at the training grounds.

To their surprise, Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan stood together, chatting and laughing with an air of intimacy.

When had the two of them become so close?

Everyone was puzzled.

Whether in talent, appearance, or background, Dugu Yan ranked among the very best in all of Heaven Dou Academy.

The people pursuing her could line up from Heaven Dou Academy all the way to the gates of Heaven Dou City.

Yet Dugu Yan was like a thorny rose—no one could get close to her.

Since Dugu Yan had joined Heaven Grade Class One, this was the first time they had seen her act so intimately toward a man.

No, that was not quite right. Yang Yuan was only eight years old, just a little brat.

If Yang Yuan had been a few years older, who knew how many male students would have had their hearts broken over it.

Yu Tianheng stood at the front with a cold, arrogant expression, but his peripheral vision remained fixed on Dugu Yan and Yang Yuan. His brows furrowed slightly.

Dugu Yan's closeness to Yang Yuan displeased him.

Of course, it was not as though he liked Dugu Yan all that much.

It was simply that, before Yang Yuan's arrival, he had been the only one in Heaven Grade Class One whom Dugu Yan regarded highly.

But even then, it had only been a high regard.

Even someone as outstanding as himself had never received the same intimacy from Dugu Yan that Yang Yuan did.

Yang Yuan...

What exactly gave him the right?

Was it just because his talent was a little higher?

How could a mere Eye Martial Soul compare to the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Yu Tianheng could not understand it!

He could only blame Dugu Yan for being short-sighted.

Yet seeing how close the two were, Yu Tianheng felt an intense sense of unwillingness rise within him.

He had extremely high standards when choosing a partner.

However, there were not many outstanding female Soul Masters in the Soul Master world to begin with.

A female Soul Master like Dugu Yan, whose looks, talent, and background were all among the best, was absolutely the ideal choice for Yu Tianheng.

The reason Yu Tianheng had never pursued Dugu Yan was simply that he could not bring himself to do it.

As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how could he lower himself to pursue a woman?

Even so, he still regarded Dugu Yan as his own private possession.

He had never cared before.

Because in all of Heaven Dou Academy, only he was worthy of Dugu Yan.

But Yang Yuan's arrival gave him a faint sense of urgency.

Fortunately, Yang Yuan was only eight years old, so Yu Tianheng was not worried that he would beat him to it.

Still, Yu Tianheng felt sour inside and silently made up his mind.

He had to find an opportunity to crush Yang Yuan head-on in front of Dugu Yan and let her see.

No matter how good Yang Yuan's cultivation talent was, before his Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, it would still be utterly worthless.

"Is everyone here?"

Just then, Teacher Wang walked over from the distance.

Honest Shi Mo said, "Teacher, everyone is here."

Teacher Wang swept his gaze around. When he saw how close Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan were, a flash of surprise crossed his face.

Well, well. Yesterday, he had still worried that if Dugu Bo learned of Yang Yuan's Poison Immunity, it might bring trouble upon Yang Yuan.

Now, it seemed his worries had been completely unnecessary.

Judging by the relationship Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan displayed.

Not only would Dugu Bo likely not do anything to Yang Yuan, he would be even more likely to do everything he could to bring the two together.

The surprise passed in an instant. Teacher Wang smiled solemnly. "Alright, since everyone is here, let us set off."

"You should all know today's task. I hope each of you participates in at least one event, whether it is an individual match, a two-person match, or a seven-person Team Battle."

With that, Teacher Wang led the way, and the group set off in grand fashion.

Before long, they arrived before a magnificent, imposing building.

The structure somewhat resembled the Colosseum from Yang Yuan's past life, looking incomparably majestic.

Its oval exterior was built from massive blocks of stone. The rough stone surfaces bore the marks of wind, rain, and time's carving, while its enormous archways and colonnades radiated explosive force.

This was Heaven Dou City's Great Soul Arena.

Even standing outside the Great Soul Arena, they could hear the deafening cheers coming from within.

Looking at the sight before him, Yang Yuan could not help but feel his blood stir.

Teacher Wang and the others had long been accustomed to it. Smiling, they calmly led everyone into the Great Soul Arena.

After entering, Teacher Wang looked at Dugu Yan and Yang Yuan, who were walking side by side.

"Dugu Yan, take Yang Yuan to register first. Once that is done, come directly to the registration desk to sign up for Soul Fights."

"Alright!"

After responding, Dugu Yan said to Yang Yuan, "Come on, Yang Yuan's Younger Brother."

Before long, Yang Yuan completed both his registration and Soul Fight sign-up.

Dugu Yan teased, "Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, you do not need to be so cautious that you even use an alias for Soul Fights."

"If you do not want to expose your identity, the only way is not to participate in Soul Fights at all. Otherwise, the information you registered is far too easy to investigate."

Yang Yuan shook his head.

"Sister Dugu, you have it wrong."

"I am not using an alias because I am being cautious."

"Then why?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

Yang Yuan grinned.

"Why? Of course, it is so I can show off!"

"If a person never shows off in life, they will miss out on so much fun."

"How many people can resist the joy of impressing everyone?"

The corner of Dugu Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

"What a vulgar hobby."

Yang Yuan shrugged.

"I am just a common man to begin with."

A common man chosen because of good luck!

Dugu Yan broke into a brilliant smile.

Although Yang Yuan said that, she did not feel the slightest disgust. Instead, she felt that Yang Yuan's Younger Brother was honest and genuine.

Of course, that was entirely because Dugu Yan was biased in his favor.

If someone else had said such things in front of Dugu Yan, she would probably have thought that person shallow and pretentious.

After signing up, just as Dugu Yan was about to take Yang Yuan to meet Teacher Wang.

Yang Yuan grabbed Dugu Yan.

"Sister Dugu, wait a moment. Let us go somewhere else first."

"Where?"

Dugu Yan looked puzzled.

But she quickly found out where Yang Yuan was taking her.

Before a huge gambling table.

Dugu Yan frowned. "Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, if you are short on money, you can tell your sister. There is no need to gamble on Soul Fights here."

Yang Yuan shook his head slightly, the corners of his lips curling upward.

"Sister Dugu, I am not interested in money, but I enjoy the process of winning it."

With that, Yang Yuan slapped the Silver Card Xiao Chenyu had given him onto the table.

Then he took out sixteen Gold Soul Coins, making a neat total of two thousand.

His voice rang out clearly.

"I am betting on the Seventh Soul Arena, the fifth Soul Fight this afternoon. Double Pupils will win."
