Yu Tianheng could hardly believe those words had come from friends he had lived alongside. Judging by Osler and the others, they seemed eager to cut ties with him.

Shimo scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Boss, it's not that we insist on doing this, but the guidance of a Title Douluo is something every Soul Master dreams of. You and Yan both had Title Douluos guiding you before you could break through to Soul Ancestor, while we..."

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng gave a self-mocking smile. "I understand. I won't stop anyone who wants to leave with him, but from this day onward, I, Yu Tianheng, have nothing to do with any of you."

Hearing their captain's resolute words, the other members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team fell silent. After a while, they finally moved away from Yu Tianheng.

Seeing his former companions choose to abandon him for the sake of growing stronger, Yu Tianheng's heart instantly turned cold. He said bitterly, "I never thought you bastards were all such ungrateful wretches!"

Ye Lingling bit her lip in conflict, but after weighing the pros and cons, she too chose to leave Yu Tianheng's side.

Lin Yuan's gaze settled on Ye Lingling, who possessed the Nine Heart Begonia. He could not have been more familiar with this young girl.

As the strongest healing-type martial soul on Douluo Continent, the Nine Heart Begonia could have only one inheritor in each generation, and no more than two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters could exist at the same time.

Only after one died could another appear among their descendants. It could be said to be the rarest martial soul in existence.

If it had not been Ning Rongrong joining Shrek Academy, but Ye Lingling, the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master before him, then the future God Position would undoubtedly have been hers.

After all, the best inheritor of the Nine-Colored Goddess that Ning Rongrong would inherit was not Ning Rongrong, but Ye Lingling, who possessed a top-tier healing martial soul.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Yuan said, "It seems everyone has made their own choice. From today onward, I will be responsible for your studies until you graduate from Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"As for you two." Lin Yuan glanced at Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. "It doesn't matter if you don't wish to join. You may leave anytime."

With that, Lin Yuan turned and left without looking back.

Although the members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team were reluctant to part with their captain, Yu Tianheng, hadn't they become Soul Masters in order to grow stronger? They were merely following their hearts.

They said that when one was uncertain, one could ask the spring breeze; if the spring breeze remained silent, then one should follow one's heart. They had merely acted according to their true feelings.

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth. "You traitors! I never thought you were all such ungrateful villains!"

"Tianheng, are you all right?"

Dugu Yan asked painfully.

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists. "Yan, since they've treated me this way, there's no point in staying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. My uncle said some time ago that if Heaven Dou Royal Academy ever disappointed us, we could go to Shrek Academy."

"I refuse to believe Douluo Continent won't have rain just because the clouds of Heaven Dou Royal Academy are gone."

When Dugu Yan heard that Yu Tianheng wanted to join Shrek Academy, her face filled with confusion. "Tianheng, Chief Dream Machine will be heartbroken if he learns of this. Besides, we're about to graduate. Why would you..."

"Enough!" Yu Tianheng stared coldly ahead, directly cutting off Dugu Yan's question. "If you also want the guidance of a Title Douluo, I don't care. I, Yu Tianheng, am a proud man. How can I remain beneath another for long?!"

Seeing Yu Tianheng's unyielding attitude, Dugu Yan could only agree. With her grandfather around, a single word would be enough to make Chief Dream Machine agree to let them leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

She refused to believe that without the guidance of a Title Douluo, they could not become top-tier powerhouses!

After leaving, the group arrived at the Back Mountain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Osler, an Agility Attack System Soul Master, could not suppress his curiosity and asked, "Teacher Lin, aren't we going to the Simulated Cultivation Ground? Why have we come here?"

The so-called Simulated Cultivation Ground was a training site built by the academy at great expense, recreating highly concentrated forms of energy that existed in the outside world.

The academy's disciples trained there almost every day to improve their strength.

Yet Lin Yuan said, "Simulated cultivation is of great help to those who have only just begun, but do not forget that the path of cultivation is about surviving desperate situations. Only by experiencing them firsthand can one break through in the face of despair."

At this, the others all looked at him in confusion, unable to understand what Teacher Lin meant. Was he planning to have them undergo actual combat training?

Ye Lingling pursed her lips and asked, "Teacher Lin, may I ask something? Are you planning to have us face ferocious Soul Beasts through real combat?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "That's right. When I trained here in the past, I went to Sunset Forest every day to fight Soul Beasts. I also broke through my Soul Power in desperate situations and became the youngest Title Douluo."

As a weapon once possessed by the God King of Douluo Continent, it had now transformed into a martial soul. Lin Yuan was already quite satisfied with that.

At the same time, a panel of azure basic information silently appeared before Lin Yuan. It was the system cheat he had accidentally awakened when he first arrived in this world.

Name: Lin Yuan Soul Power: Level 93 Title Douluo Martial Soul: Asura Demon Sword (God-tier) Soul Rings: Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red! Soul Bones: Complete Domains: Divine Slaughter's Domain, Asura Domain Total Kills: 5580 Total Soul Beasts: 136

Looking at his basic information, Lin Yuan showed no expression. Even the Divine Slaughter's Domain had been obtained when he entered the City of Slaughter several years ago.

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and spread open his right hand. A blood-red little snake, no larger than a palm, slithered freely across his palm.

A closer look would reveal that this little snake was the blood-red Azure Dragon Lin Yuan had ridden when returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

This Azure Dragon was an exceptionally rare three-hundred-thousand-year top-tier Soul Beast, more precious even than the Forest Emperor, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape.

Lin Yuan had discovered it by chance in the depths of Star Dou Forest while training years ago. He had then used his overwhelming strength to forcibly make it acknowledge him as its master, turning it into his exclusive mount.

"This will be your training opponent. As long as you can hold out against it for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, you will be considered to have passed. If you fail, the time will be reset."

As Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, the blood-colored little snake in his palm seemed drawn by some kind of energy. It instantly expanded against the wind, and under everyone's astonished gazes, it quickly became a blood-red Azure Dragon over ten meters long.

"Th-this is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"
