The faces of those few people were quickly beaten red and swollen.
They could feel their actions being controlled by Long Chen, but they were unable to stop the movements in their hands.
Only then did those few people realize that the Soul Master in his teens before them had considerable strength and was by no means someone they could provoke casually.
More and more students entered the classroom.
Long Chen's fingertip lightly touched the lute strings for the last time, the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul was quietly retracted, and the phantom image of the Nine-Tailed Fox also dissipated into nothingness.
The atmosphere in the classroom instantly shifted from tense to a weird silence.
Just then, Dugu Yan and a slender boy with black short hair walked into the classroom side by side.
Dugu Yan's gaze immediately locked onto Long Chen. Upon noticing the Tiandou Rank Student School Uniform on him, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Long Chen, why are you here?"
Dugu Yan's tone carried a hint of confusion.
She had seen Long Chen last night and knew he was a new student, but she hadn't expected him to appear directly in the Tiandou Rank student class.
Seeing this, the surrounding students began to whisper and discuss.
One of them said to Dugu Yan:
"Sister Yan, you don't know yet, right? He's already a three-ring Battle Soul Elder!"
Upon hearing this, those who didn't know Long Chen's strength cast surprised glances at him.
The boy beside Dugu Yan also showed a surprised expression. He carefully examined Long Chen, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Dugu Yan's pupils contracted slightly. She exchanged a look with the boy, a silent understanding passing between them.
She glanced again at those few students who were still covering their faces and looked disheveled, and immediately understood something. A playful smile curved her lips.
"You guys really deserve it. You've run into a tough person this time."
"I'm sorry, Sister Yan, we didn't know you knew him."
"What's the use of apologizing to me? You provoked him, not me."
Everyone at Heaven Dou Royal Academy knew that Dugu Yan's Grandpa was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who possessed the Green Lined Serpent Martial Soul capable of releasing severe poison.
Therefore, no one dared to provoke her in the academy.
Even students older than her had to respectfully call her "Sister."
Those few people naturally didn't dare to provoke her either.
Seeing Dugu Yan's attitude, those few people quickly apologized to Long Chen.
"Sorry, we were wrong. We shouldn't have underestimated you, nor should we have provoked you. Please forgive us."
"It's nothing."
Long Chen said calmly, not taking the small matter to heart.
Those few people then dispersed.
Dugu Yan looked at Long Chen and smiled:
"I knew your strength was not bad, but I didn't expect you to already be a Battle Soul Elder. What is your Martial Soul, what are your Soul Skills, and what is your Soul Power level? You beat those people black and blue so easily."
"My Martial Soul is the Dark Night Demonic Lute, Control System. My Soul Power just reached Thirty-second Rank."
"Dark Night Demonic Lute? Thirty-second Rank Soul Power, one level higher than me!"
Dugu Yan was shocked again.
Although she didn't understand the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul, she could imagine it had considerable control abilities.
One must know that the few people who were beaten up just now were all Battle Soul Elders above Level Thirty.
Dugu Yan was a few years older than Long Chen, but her Soul Power was one level lower than his.
This gave her, who had always been arrogant, a sense of defeat.
"Long Chen, you are truly amazing."
Long Chen smiled and looked at the Boy beside Dugu Yan, immediately changing the subject.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Yu Tianheng, a Direct Descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
The Boy stepped forward and introduced himself:
"Correct, I am Yu Tianheng. Long Chen, your strength interests me greatly. I hope we can spar sometime in the future."
"Okay, there will be opportunities."
Long Chen knew that Yu Tianheng was the eldest grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Patriarch Yu Yuanzhen, and a top talent among the Young Generation of Direct Disciples.
He was exceptionally gifted and was considered very likely to become the future Patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He was also the only Direct Disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who did not train within the clan but joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan was about to say something when her eyes suddenly lit up.
She saw the Herb Atlas in Long Chen's hand.
"What? You're also interested in researching herbs?"
"Mm. I've been researching medicine and pharmaceuticals since I was six years old, so for five years now."
Dugu Yan smiled.
"You really are a strange person. As a Soul Master with such great talent, why are you researching medicine?"
"It's nothing, it's purely my personal hobby."
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. The teacher is almost here, let's find a place to sit."
Dugu Yan found a spot and sat down with Yu Tianheng and Long Chen.
A moment later, the teacher walked into the classroom.
This was a theory class, dry and boring.
After it ended, Long Chen left the classroom with Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng.
Long Chen could tell that the two of them were acting intimately, as if they had already established a romantic relationship.
Just as he was about to leave to find Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan suddenly said:
"Long Chen, do you know that our academy's new school team is about to be formed?"
"I've heard about it, what's up?"
"So far, only two spots for the new school team members have been confirmed, and that's me and Tianheng."
Mentioning this, Dugu Yan had a proud look on her face, while Yu Tianheng remained impassive.
Dugu Yan continued:
"Long Chen, with your Strength and potential, you will definitely become a member of the school team, and we'll be able to fight side-by-side soon. Also, Lingling's Group Healing Ability is needed in the team. Although she's still a Tianhui Rank student, her potential is good, and she should also become a member of the school team."
Yu Tianheng nodded.
"No need to guess, that Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master has an irreplaceable role and has almost secured a spot on the school team."
"Once the school team is formed, we won't have to attend classes with those people anymore. We'll have specialized training."
Dugu Yan seemed very much looking forward to joining the school team and training with her teammates.
"I hope things develop as you two imagine. I have something to do, so I'll go find Lingling first. See you later."
"Mm, go ahead."
After Long Chen left, Yu Tianheng said to Dugu Yan:
"Long Chen is truly extraordinary. At such a young age, he's reached the same Soul Power Level as me. Fortunately, he's joined our Royal Academy and will be our teammate, not our opponent."
"Indeed. Five years ago, when I first met him, I sensed he was no ordinary person. I never expected him to be this formidable."
"Then why didn't he join our academy before?"
Dugu Yan shook her head.
"I don't know either. Perhaps something happened."
Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Mimicry Environment and teaching facilities are truly first-class.
Long Chen quickly adapted to the environment here, as well as to studying and living here.
With Long Chen by her side, Ye Lingling's mood improved significantly, and she cultivated even more diligently.
On this day, the academy announced the seven main players for the new School Team.
