After a brief exchange, the damage dealt to Luo Yan's body by O'Sullivan's soul power had broken through thirty points.

Upon learning that Han San was going to help Yueyan Xiu, Chang Feng was extremely pleased.

It was precisely because he knew O'Sullivan's heavenly talent was extraordinary that he had deliberately told Luo Yan to cooperate with Duoxu.

Luo Yan had done so in order to make clear that O'Sullivan was not the only one with extraordinary heavenly talent. O'Sullivan's soul power had a special food-type attribute, and his heavenly talent was not inferior to anyone else's.

As for Duoxu, that would be even easier to handle.

Chang Feng had already seen through O'Sullivan's thoughts about pursuing Duoxu. Not only did he have no intention of stopping him, he actually wanted to see him succeed.

After all, O'Sullivan had long since treated Taolangke's academy as his own home, and he held Yueyan Xiu and the others in extremely high regard.

If O'Sullivan could become the wife of the Seventh Prince of the Heavenly Emperor's Family, then he would certainly be able to obtain considerable benefits. Perhaps he could even help Taolangke's academy become the most outstanding academy on the continent.

O'Sullivan accepted Chang Feng's flattery without reservation. He looked secretly toward Duoxu, wanting to know whether she would change her attitude toward him.

What he did not expect was that Duoxu understood him completely. Instead of exchanging a few words with him, she was engaged in a lively, clear, and cheerful conversation with Huoyao.

Chang Feng also sensed the situation. He coughed softly, then patted his shoulder and lowered his voice.

"Keep it up, O'Sullivan. I think highly of you. Even if Luo Yan is slightly stronger than you, you must remember that he is only a member of the Yueyan Family. Duoxu is the daughter of the Seventh Prince of the Heavenly Emperor's Family. Neither of them can remain insignificant forever."

"So, you have great hope."

Although he said this rather casually, as though O'Sullivan could only defeat Huoyao in one area, he had also understood Chang Feng's intention.

His originally somewhat dispirited thoughts were instantly revived.

"Ah! I understand, Dean!"

O'Sullivan clenched his fists, then shook his arms again.

Chang Feng was very satisfied with his reaction. He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. He took a deep breath and spoke.

"All right. Since everyone has already eaten breakfast, and O'Sullivan's soul power has recovered to thirty percent, today's training will stop here for now. From this point on, Vice Dean Zhou and Elder Fu will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest. They will assist O'Sullivan in hunting his third soul ring."

"You will be teammates from now on. Naturally, you must help one another. Besides, all of you have your own backgrounds. Before this, you probably had no intention of hunting a soul ring, and Yueyan Xiu's matter is also worth announcing. I hope that you will be able to cooperate in the future."

"Although Yueyan Xiu and Elder Fu will accompany you, unless you encounter a situation capable of endangering your lives, he will not take action."

"If you need anything in the forest, you can tell Vice Dean Zhou now. We will gather at the academy gates later."

After Chang Feng finished speaking, he immediately turned and walked into the dormitory. He wanted to tell Yueyan Xiu a few words before she left, so he asked her to stay behind and accompany Elder Fu.

This time, the Heavenly Emperor's Family's soul-ring operation was no different from before. They had to ensure Yueyan Xiu's safety.

Aside from his background, the most important thing was that Yueyan Xiu was now carrying the hopes of the entire Yueyan Family.

As long as he could obtain an outstanding result in the next soul-power competition, he and the Yueyan Family would soar straight into the heavens.

Yueyan Xiu naturally knew this.

"What? You want Chang Feng to accompany us?"

Other than his identity as the academy dean, he had also rented a shop in Suotuo City. He had entrusted the task of gathering soul rings to Elder Fu, while he went to arrange matters for his own shop.

That was why everyone who succeeded in becoming a member of Taolangke's academy had their reasons.

[Although Elder Fu's strength is slightly inferior to that of his previous life, O'Sullivan still broke through thirty points today.]

[The difference from his previous life was that Han San possessed an understanding of tomorrow, whereas today he would follow Yueyan Xiu to the Star Dou Great Forest and assist O'Sullivan in obtaining his third soul ring.]

[Perhaps I possess the direct influence of the Yueyan Family's academy.]

[Unfortunately, since O'Sullivan's soul-ring operation in this life has been exposed, Yueyan Xiu will probably encounter the Snake Granny and Yueyan Xiu.]

[According to the situation I observed in the diary earlier, Yueyan Xiu would likewise hunt her third soul ring, and she would even take a liking to the same soul beast as O'Sullivan.]

[This was originally a good thing, but because Dai Mu and Ma Hongjun insisted on provoking Yueyan Xiu, I became angry. The Snake Granny then sent them flying.]

[It must be said that the reason those two were able to survive in Taolangke's academy was not only because they could not recruit too many disciples. The most important reason was that they did not dare cause trouble or act recklessly.]

[They clearly possessed sufficient strength, yet they had to act cowardly when encountering the weak and flee at top speed before the strong.]

[The soul-hunting operation in this life was rather smooth. When they encountered the Snake Granny outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Huohuo, Han San, and the others acted as decoys, drawing away the Snake Granny's attention. He saw that Yueyan Xiu was not the Snake Granny's match, so he asked her for help. He was already very familiar with the process.]

[Although I have already said a great deal, I still cannot stop thinking about it. The true target of the Heavenly Emperor's Family is the Soul-Hunting Gathering Place!]

Zhu Zhuqing was packing the necessary items in the dormitory when Xiao Wu, who had been standing beside the three girls of Duoxu, stopped her work.

After packing everything, Zhu Zhuqing sighed heavily.

"I truly don't understand how someone like me from this world could have ended up in the academy of the Yueyan Family's direct heir. Clearly, all the information in the diary has already made it very clear that nearly everyone is aware he isn't a good person, yet the three of us still possess the power to travel across space."

Xiao Wu shook her head, her face showing a trace of disdain.

"You're much luckier than me. At least in my previous life, I was controlled by them. Even now, every one of my friends is being used by him."

Duoxu did not behave as arrogantly as she had before. Instead, she was worried about the others. She let out a cold laugh and spoke disdainfully.

"Isn't it all because Chang Feng and Yueyan Xiu are backing him?"

"I am merely an inexperienced young girl. My ability to survive is extremely poor. I just happened to encounter Han San and those unpleasant people. I was beaten down by him, and in the end became a tool for Yueyan Xiu."

"If not for that, after seeing the true face of Taolangke, how could I possibly have remained in that rotten academy?"

Duoxu sighed. Chang Feng truly was not trying to push her away.

Even though she could be considered very intelligent among her peers, in front of Han San and the old people of the martial world, she was still far too inexperienced.

It was precisely because she wanted to obtain a true friend that she was taught a lesson by Chang Feng, which ultimately tempered her personality.

Because she had already learned the truth about Taolangke from Luo Yan's diary, she had developed a certain degree of hatred toward Duoxu. In the future, she would definitely repay Chang Feng.
