A Love Triangle Between Two Campus Beauties? No, This is the Privilege of the Strong!

The dust on the Martial Arts Arena settled, leaving only Wang Jingang embedded in the wall, his life or death unknown, amidst the surrounding wreckage.

Dean Sun Buyu watched this scene, his throat bobbing with difficulty. He looked down at the grade book in his hand, then back at the youth who wore an expression of utter indifference, the tip of his pen trembling slightly.

"Yu Tianyu... wins."

"This practical assessment, full marks."

Following Sun Buyu's announcement, the arena did not erupt in cheers, but rather a deathly silence of awe.

Kicking a level 23 defense-type Soul Grand Master into such a state with a single blow, and even leaving behind that terrifying corrosive poison—this had already exceeded the cognitive scope of these first-year freshmen. From this moment on, in their eyes, Yu Tianyu was no longer the "cast-off" of a great family, but a Demon King not to be trifled with.

Yu Tianyu ignored the surrounding gazes, simply waving casually at Ye Lingling before shoving his hands into his pockets and walking away with effortless style.

The next day, the atmosphere inside the classroom became even more peculiar.

Because Dugu Yan, who had been on leave for two days, had returned.

As soon as she stepped into the classroom, her keen snake-like intuition told her something was wrong. The looks the surrounding classmates gave her carried a hint of oddity, mixed with the excitement of watching a good show.

"Sister Yan, while you were gone these past two days, something huge happened!"

A small follower sidled up to Dugu Yan, embellishing the story of what happened at the Martial Arts Arena yesterday. They focused on how Ye Lingling had publicly gifted medicine to Yu Tianyu and how she had looked at him with such affection (this part was pure imagination) while treating Wang Jingang to clean up Yu Tianyu's mess.

"Ye Lingling?"

Dugu Yan's willow-leaf brows arched, and her snake-like pupils, which had been somewhat lazy, instantly turned sharp.

She turned her head to look at the cold, solitary girl in black sitting in the corner of the classroom.

Very well! I've only been gone for two days to go home and digest my soul power, and to report the good news to my grandfather, and yet my home has been raided?

That Ye Lingling, who usually wore a "keep away" expression, actually took the initiative to give medicine?

The jealousy in Dugu Yan's heart instantly boiled over. Although she and Yu Tianyu hadn't established any formal relationship, in her heart, Yu Tianyu was the only one who could resolve her poison, and he was the... man she had claimed for herself.

"Snap!"

Dugu Yan slammed her hand onto the desk, then strode over to Ye Lingling with a menacing aura on her long, slender legs.

The entire class held their breath.

It's happening! The granddaughter of the Poison Douluo versus the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia! This was the drama of the year!

"Ye Lingling."

Dugu Yan crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at the girl sitting in her seat with a hostile tone. "I heard you were very impressive yesterday? Giving medicine, providing treatment—what's the matter, are you interested in that little rascal too?"

Ye Lingling slowly raised her head, her deep, pool-like eyes remaining calm.

Facing Dugu Yan's aggressive aura, she did not retreat, simply replying indifferently: "It was just mutual concern between classmates. What, does classmate Dugu have an opinion?"

"Mutual concern?"

Dugu Yan laughed in anger. "Who in the entire academy doesn't know that you, Ye Lingling, are the coldest of them all? You don't even acknowledge princes when they speak to you, yet you'd care about a 'cast-off' who just enrolled? Stop pretending. We're all women here; you might be able to hide your little intentions from others, but you can't hide them from me."

As she spoke, she leaned down, moving close to Ye Lingling's ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "He is mine. His poison can only be resolved by me; my poison can only be absorbed by him. The bond between us isn't something your few pathetic pills can compare to."

This was a declaration of territory, and a naked provocation.

Ye Lingling's eyes finally showed a ripple of emotion.

Absorbing poison?

She keenly captured this keyword. Although she didn't know the specific details, she could sense that there was indeed some secret between Dugu Yan and Yu Tianyu that she wasn't aware of.

But this didn't make her retreat; instead, it stirred the unyielding spirit within her.

"Is that so?"

Ye Lingling closed her book, stood up, and met Dugu Yan's gaze without showing any weakness. "As far as I know, he is currently single. Since he is single, everyone has a chance. And..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Dugu Yan's hot figure, and said pointedly: "Some people may have known him longer, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the most suitable. The Nine Heart Begonia can assist him in going further, while the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison... besides adding to his troubles, what else can it do?"

"You!"

Dugu Yan instantly bristled. This was practically stabbing her in the heart!

Her soul power surged, her ink-green hair floating without a breeze; she was clearly truly enraged. "You want to fight, don't you? I'll gladly oblige!"

"I was just thinking of learning exactly how much weight the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo carries." A flash of light appeared in Ye Lingling's hand as her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul prepared for action.

The two great campus beauties stood at daggers drawn, the air thick with the scent of gunpowder.

Just at this critical moment.

A large hand suddenly reached out, and with extreme naturalness...

The left hand pressed onto Dugu Yan's shoulder, while the right hand pressed onto Ye Lingling's wrist.

"So early in the morning, and such hot tempers?"

Yu Tianyu's lazy voice rang out between the two of them.

He had walked into the classroom at some point and was now standing between them, wearing that signature mischievous smirk on his face.

"Yu Tianyu! Let go!" Dugu Yan glared at him, but the soul power on her body obediently receded.

"I'm not letting go."

Yu Tianyu not only refused to let go, but he even pushed his luck by pulling both of them closer to him, forming an incredibly ambiguous triangular stance.

He first looked at Dugu Yan, his eyes filled with a mix of doting affection and a hint of playfulness: "What? Afraid I'll be snatched away by someone else? Do you have so little confidence in yourself? Don't worry, I haven't had enough of your poison yet, I'm not going anywhere."

Dugu Yan's face flushed red, her initial momentum instantly deflating by half as she muttered in a low voice: "Who... who has no confidence! I'm just afraid you'll be deceived by some hypocritical woman!"

Yu Tianyu chuckled and turned his head to look at Ye Lingling.

"And you, beautiful Ye. Although I know I'm charming, fighting over me isn't good. After all..."

He leaned in close to Ye Lingling and whispered: "The Nine Heart Begonia is meant for saving lives, not for petty jealousy. I've received your feelings; next time you want to ask me out, just say it directly. No need to be so roundabout."

Ye Lingling's earlobes turned bright red instantly. She tried to pull her hand back, only to find that Yu Tianyu's grip was shockingly strong.

"Who... who wants to ask you out!" Her usual mask of cold indifference could never be maintained in front of this scoundrel.

All the boys in the class watched this scene, their hearts shattering into pieces.

Holding one in each arm!

This was truly holding one in each arm!

And he was holding the two most elite flowers of the academy! Did this Yu Tianyu save the galaxy in his past life?

Just as Yu Tianyu was enjoying this "blessing of having both" and preparing to further mediate (tease) the two, suddenly.

An incomparably tyrannical aura of thunder and lightning surged from outside the classroom without any warning.

"Boom!"

Even though it was a clear day, a muffled peal of thunder seemed to ring out in the sky.

The glass windows of the classroom were vibrating slightly.

Yu Tianyu's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face vanished in an instant. He released the two women and turned to look at the door.

This aura...

Overbearing, fierce, and carrying the ultimate power of destruction and lightning.

This was the aura of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!

And it was a very pure, very powerful Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!

"What's going on? Is it thundering?" Pang Hu shrank his neck in fear.
