Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

In the quiet courtyard.

Lin Yuan returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and began restoring the Soul Power he had expended. His battle with Tang Hao had consumed quite a bit of it.

If he had not broken through to the realm of a Level 94 Title Douluo, he might not necessarily have been able to defeat Tang Hao.

Just as he was recovering his Soul Power, Ye Lingling's voice came from the doorway. "Teacher, His Highness the Crown Prince is here. Do you have time?"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow slightly. "His Highness the Crown Prince... Could it be Xue Qinghe, the biological son of the current Emperor Xue Ye?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan did not refuse outright. A guest was still a guest. He got dressed and walked outside, where he happened to meet the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince, "Xue Qinghe," who had just entered the courtyard.

Although "Xue Qinghe" had ordinary features, he carried himself with extraordinary bearing. His short golden hair and luxurious red robe made him appear especially noble.

On the surface, he looked like a composed and refined young man, but he was actually deeply calculating, always plotting something.

He was also Qian Renxue, the Young Master of Spirit Hall, who possessed the God-level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"Xue Qinghe" looked at Lin Yuan. The two had met twice before, but they had only exchanged a few words at the time, so they could not be considered familiar.

Lin Yuan nodded to "Xue Qinghe." "It has been a long time, Your Highness. It has been many years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Xue Qinghe" stood with his hands behind his back, looking noble and dignified. "Indeed. When I first met you, you were only ten. Time truly flies, and Teacher Lin Yuan is already twenty."

"If Chief Dream Machine had not told me you had returned, I would not have known you were still at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Xue Qinghe" took out his gift from his Soul Tool and placed it in Ye Lingling's hands. Then, he naturally sat down in a chair and smiled. "Teacher Lin, it has been many years. I wonder, what is your Soul Power level now?"

"I have currently reached the realm of a Level 94 Title Douluo."

That simple sentence made "Xue Qinghe's" right hand freeze. Even when the water in his cup overflowed, he did not react.

Only when Ye Lingling spoke to remind him did "Xue Qinghe" recover from his shock. Yet he still stared at Lin Yuan with stunned eyes.

A twenty-year-old Title Douluo...

And a Level 94 one at that.

Such talent would be considered utterly extraordinary anywhere.

Tang Hao, the youngest Title Douluo at present, probably had no comparison whatsoever before him.

They simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

If they absolutely had to be compared, it would be like comparing a crow to a phoenix, or a nag to a qilin.

"Xue Qinghe" swallowed, his clear eyes flickering faintly. No one knew what he was thinking; they only knew that he was extremely ill at ease.

Lin Yuan glanced at the uncomfortable-looking "Xue Qinghe," merely nodded with a smile, and did not pay it much mind. Instead, he picked up the teapot on the table and personally poured a cup of tea for Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe."

"Xue Qinghe" was flattered. "Thank you, Lord Lin Yuan."

"There is no need." Lin Yuan said softly, "You can call me Lin Yuan or Teacher Lin Yuan. Forget the 'Lord.' After all, I used to be a student here too."

"Xue Qinghe" raised his eyebrows. He had never expected Lin Yuan to be so approachable.

Even in the past, "Xue Qinghe" had understood just how exceptional Lin Yuan's talent was. He had even been regarded as the person most likely to break through to Title Douluo before the age of thirty.

Yet how long had it been? He had already become a Title Douluo, and he was only twenty.

"Xue Qinghe" smiled. "In that case, I shall respectfully comply. I will call you Teacher Lin Yuan from now on."

Lin Yuan nodded and asked softly, "May I ask why the Crown Prince has come this time?"

"Xue Qinghe" said, "It is like this, Teacher Lin. I heard Chief Dream Machine mention you, so I came in person to meet the youngest Title Douluo on Douluo Continent."

"Now that I have met you, your reputation is indeed well deserved. The title of Douluo Continent's youngest Title Douluo will truly fall to you."

Lin Yuan waved a hand and said indifferently, "I have no interest in such empty titles. Besides, I am only here to repay the kindness of the three education committee members who took me in back then."

Before coming, "Xue Qinghe" had already learned what had happened. Lin Yuan's parents had died when he was young. If Chief Dream Machine and the other two had not personally intervened, Lin Yuan likely would have died long ago in the Heaven Dou Empire.

That was precisely why Lin Yuan had remained at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If Chief Dream Machine and the other two left this place, Lin Yuan would probably leave as well.

"Xue Qinghe" poured Lin Yuan a cup of tea and asked softly, "Teacher Lin Yuan, I heard that you have taken over the Heaven Dou Battle Team and raised all its members to the realm of Soul Ancestors."

"Yes." Ye Lingling said with a smile, "Teacher's teaching methods are very special, completely different from how we cultivated before. Under his guidance, all of our cultivation speeds have improved greatly."

Hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" subconsciously looked at Ye Lingling beside him. When he sensed the Soul Power within her, he could not help but look at her in astonishment.

"You actually broke through to Level 47 Soul Ancestor?"

"Xue Qinghe" could hardly believe his eyes. Not long ago, he had seen the members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team. At most, Yu Tianheng had only been Level 43. Now that Yu Tianheng had left, the strongest had only been Level 36, Osler.

Setting aside the fact that Osler had already broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm, even Ye Lingling before him had reached Level 47 Soul Ancestor. It was truly unbelievable.

"Xue Qinghe" frowned, his expression strange as he asked, "Ling Ling, when I last saw you, I remember you were only in your thirties. Only a few months have passed, and you have already broken through to Level 47 Soul Ancestor?"

Ye Lingling pursed her youthful lips, used her slender jade hand to tuck the dark green hair by her ear into place, and smiled gently. "It is all thanks to Teacher. Without him, I probably would have found it difficult to break through to the Soul Ancestor realm in just a few months in my entire life."

Upon hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" subconsciously narrowed his eyes, unable to help wondering what Lin Yuan's teaching methods were. If it was truly as she said, then Lin Yuan's methods were truly shocking. If I could make use of them, the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters would surely advance by leaps and bounds in the future.
