Meeting the Future Imperial Fighting Team, Qin Ming's Debut

Seeing Ye Lingling walk in with a strange little child, a girl with short, deep purple hair and green eyes sitting in the spectator stands climbed down and walked over to her side.

The two people who had been sparring stopped their fight, both turning their gazes toward Ye Lingling and Ye Qingzhou at the entrance, their eyes unanimously sizing up the young child beside her.

Ye Lingling nodded and said to the girl, "Yes, Yanzi, this is my younger brother, Ye Qingzhou."

Dugu Yan walked up to Ye Lingling and Ye Qingzhou, saying, "Not bad, he's actually quite cute."

"He must have just finished his Spirit Awakening, right?"

"Yes," Ye Lingling replied simply. "He will be enrolling in Heaven Dou Royal Academy later; perhaps he will become one of us."

Hearing this, the others gathered around Dugu Yan.

Looking at the familiar faces before him, Ye Qingzhou recognized each of their identities at a glance.

Jade Phosphor Serpent Dugu Yan, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Tianheng, the Black Tortoise twins Shi Mo and Shi Mo, Wind Bell Bird Yu Feng, and Ghost Leopard Osler.

They were the future Imperial Fighting Team, though it was unexpected that they had already gathered together at the age of thirteen.

This was quite a surprise to Ye Qingzhou.

Yu Tianheng reached out his hand and looked at Ye Qingzhou with a smile: "Hello, Ye Qingzhou, my name is Yu Tianheng. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Since Ye Qingzhou was Ye Lingling's brother, he was also the grandson of that Healing-type Titled Douluo.

It was imperative to maintain a good relationship with him.

Ye Qingzhou reached out to shake Yu Tianheng's hand: "Yes, I look forward to your guidance as well."

Over the next while, Ye Qingzhou got to know Dugu Yan and the others one by one.

Suddenly, a stern voice rang out in the ears of Ye Qingzhou and the others.

"What are you all doing here?"

Hearing the reprimand, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others immediately stood at attention. The person who had arrived was none other than their instructor, Qin Ming, who had broken through to the Spirit King level in his twenties!

With seven years left until the start of the main plot, the current Qin Ming was merely a young teacher who had just graduated from Shrek.

Because of his outstanding strength and talent, he was highly regarded by the three Education Committees of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

They had even entrusted him with the guidance of the seven most talented students in the academy.

Yu Tianheng and the others lined up, leaving only Ye Qingzhou standing to the side in confusion.

"Teacher!"

Qin Ming stood at the entrance, observing the reactions of Yu Tianheng and the others.

Not bad, their strength had improved once again.

Hm?

Just then, Qin Ming noticed something unusual: besides Yu Tianheng and the others, there was a child in the training ground who had only recently awakened his spirit.

He looked at Ye Qingzhou and asked curiously, "Little one, are you lost?"

Hearing this question, Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but complain internally.

What kind of person would get lost all the way into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and walk right into the training ground of the teaching building in broad daylight?

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "No, I came with my sister."

Sister?

After a brief moment of thought, Qin Ming identified whose brother this little stranger was.

Ye Lingling stepped out from the formation and introduced him to Qin Ming: "Teacher Qin, this is my brother, Ye Qingzhou. He just finished his Spirit Awakening, and I brought him to meet my friends."

"After all, he will be joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the future, and with his talent, he will definitely become one of us."

Upon hearing that he was the grandson of the Medical Saint Douluo, Qin Ming's eyes lit up: "So it is the grandson of the Medical Saint Douluo. Then I suppose I can allow you to stay here."

The grandson of a Titled Douluo, provided there were no accidents or bad mutations during the Spirit Awakening, would surely become a leader among his peers as he developed.

When Ye Lingling spoke of his talent, she clearly possessed immense confidence.

If he could recommend him to his alma mater...

Couldn't his alma mater then have a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse as a background figure?

This thought was quickly cast aside by Qin Ming.

With his current strength, he didn't have the guts to pull that off.

After all, Ye Shuyuan had rejected many major powers before, and given the current reputation of his alma mater...

Qin Ming clapped his hands and looked at Yu Tianheng and the others: "Alright, break time is over. Training begins now."

"First, run ten laps around the entire training ground."

"Yes, Teacher." Yu Tianheng and the others lined up and began running laps around the training ground as instructed.

Seeing this, Ye Qingzhou felt a cold sweat.

Truly, a prodigy graduated from Shrek.

So, running laps really is the traditional teaching method of Shrek.

Whether it was during its founding, the conclusion of the first era, or even in the Peerless Tang Sect era ten thousand years later, they could never escape the laps.

Qin Ming looked at Ye Qingzhou, who remained standing in place, and said, "Ye Qingzhou, just observe their training methods for now and get used to them in advance."

Ye Qingzhou nodded but did not speak.

Qin Ming didn't mind, simply assuming it was a child's wariness toward a stranger.

Evening.

As dinnertime approached, the training for Ye Lingling and the others finally came to an end.

Dugu Yan, sitting beside Ye Lingling and panting heavily, asked, "Lingling, are you not going back to the dormitory today either?"

Ye Lingling spoke, her tone cold and detached as she replied, "Mm, I'm afraid I don't plan on returning to the dormitory for the next few days."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately grew sorrowful and hugged Ye Lingling, sobbing.

"My dear best friend, do you have any idea how I've spent the nights you weren't there these past few days?"

"Do you know how terrified I was?"

Looking at the sobbing Dugu Yan in her arms, Ye Lingling comforted her, "Alright, Yanzi, I'll be sleeping in the dormitory again after a while."

Watching Dugu Yan act like this, Yu Feng couldn't help but mock, "Tch, for Sister Yanzi to be scared, isn't that a bit funny?"

"Yu Feng!" Interrupted by him, Dugu Yan lunged at Yu Feng in a rage.

Seeing Dugu Yan pouncing toward him, Yu Feng's eyes widened as he shouted, "Holy crap! Captain, save me, save me!"

Yu Tianheng shook his head helplessly, "You're beyond saving."

Faced with their rowdiness, Ye Qingzhou found himself completely unable to join in.

Based on his observations during this time, Qin Ming's first impression on Ye Qingzhou was decent enough.

At the very least, as long as it didn't involve Shrek-related matters, Qin Ming was always quite normal.

Ye Qingzhou and Ye Lingling left the training room and returned to the Ye Family Clinic.

Just as they arrived at the Ye Family Clinic, they saw a middle-aged man in silver-white armor who looked seventy percent similar to Ye Qingzhou.

Engraved upon that silver-white armor was the mark of an angel.

Their grandfather appeared to be discussing something with that middle-aged man.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingzhou furrowed his brows, feeling an extreme sense of discomfort in his heart.
