Connections

"We won! We actually won!"

Watching the entire Heaven Dou Team lose their combat capability, Xu Xiaoyan gripped her Star Wheel Ice Staff and jumped for joy. She trotted forward, intending to give Yun Qianzhao a big hug, but was intercepted by Yun Qianyue halfway.

Well, a hug is a hug, no matter who it is!

Xu Xiaoyan hugged Yun Qianyue tightly and shouted excitedly, "Auntie Qianyue, we won! We defeated a Soul King!"

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan could hug Yun Qianyue, Xie Xie felt a sudden surge of envy and jealousy.

Tang Wulin watched The Twins, filled with emotion: "The strength of Uncle Qianzhao and Auntie Qianyue is truly formidable!"

Hearing this, Na'er turned to look at him and smiled: "Brother, you are also very impressive!"

Hearing Na'er's comforting words, Tang Wulin laughed. He nodded and said: "We are all impressive! But Xie Xie, next time we absolutely cannot let Auntie Qianyue and the others stand in front of us!"

Tang Wulin interpreted the fact that Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue had taken on six people alone as them worrying that the others wouldn't be able to handle it, so they took the burden upon themselves. If Yun Qianzhao knew this, he could only say that he was overthinking it.

Tianlian Douluo walked onto the arena with a dark expression, but his face quickly turned as pleasant as a spring breeze. Seeing his mood shift so rapidly, The Twins couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed the leader of a major power.

A healing-type Soul Master went up first to check on the condition of the Black Tortoise Soul King. Only after confirming that it was just his shield that had been shattered and his Martial Soul remained unaffected did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Under his treatment, the Soul King also recovered quickly.

"Truly worthy of the Shrek Seven Devils! Your talent is beyond imagination!" Tianlian Douluo gazed at The Twins and the group behind them, Tang Wulin and the others, sighing with emotion.

Yun Qianzhao bowed to Tianlian Douluo and apologized with a smile: "Apologies, it was a requirement of the academy assessment! Please forgive us, Your Excellency Tianlian."

Tianlian Douluo waved his hand: "I am not such a narrow-minded person! Even if I were to be angry, it would be directed at Shrek Academy, not you!"

Why bother arguing with children!

However, Tianlian Douluo quickly changed the subject and asked: "I am a bit curious, what exactly were the weapons you used just now? Even I felt a sense of shock; could you tell me?"

Upon hearing his question, The Twins fell silent, frowning in thought.

Seeing this, Tianlian Douluo smiled and waved his hand, saying to the two: "Of course, if it is inconvenient to say, you don't have to tell me."

Yun Qianzhao looked at the smile on his face, suddenly stepped forward, and said: "I will only tell you."

"Hmm?"

Tianlian Douluo was stunned. Seeing Yun Qianzhao's smile, he couldn't help but feel his favorability toward him increase: "Very well! This shall be a secret between us."

In truth, this was not much of a secret. As Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue gradually made a name for themselves on the continent, the fact that their weapons were Heavenly Forging crafted by Zhen Hua himself would eventually become common knowledge.

But for now, using it to trade for the favor of a Super Douluo was still very cost-effective.

Having decided to gradually withdraw from Shrek Academy, The Twins needed the favor of more people—in other words, to expand their network! They had to expand their connections!

This assessment trip was an excellent opportunity.

When Tianlian Douluo learned from Yun Qianzhao that their weapons were of the Heavenly Forging level, his shock was beyond words! He looked at the two in disbelief.

"You... are truly geniuses!"

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out this sentence.

To possess Heavenly Forging weapons at this age, the status of these two in Shrek Academy was likely not low! They might even be the disciples of some high-ranking official in Shrek Academy!

Wait...

If they use spears...

Yun Ming? Could they be the disciples of Yun Ming?

Tianlian Douluo's expression shifted repeatedly; his mind felt as if it had been swept by a storm, filled with countless thoughts.

The existence of The Twins was known to few outside of a few major powers. Although Tianlian Douluo was the dean of the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy and a Super Douluo, he did not have the qualifications to know.

But he had already guessed it!

The surname Yun, being such young homeroom teachers, possessing extraordinary talent, and on top of that, Heavenly Forging weapons! He would even believe it if someone said they were the next generation of Sea God Pavilion masters designated by Shrek Academy!

"You all should stay at the academy; I will have someone arrange it! As your host, I must treat you well these days..." A flower-like smile bloomed on Tianlian Douluo's face.

The Twins wanted to expand their network, and Tianlian Douluo was also desperate to build a good relationship with them; both sides were moving toward each other in this instance.

Tang Wulin and the others walked behind The Twins. Yun Qianyue shook her head and apologized to Tianlian Douluo: "Sorry, Your Excellency! We are in a hurry and cannot stay here for long."

"In a hurry?"

Tianlian Douluo was stunned, then immediately reacted, understanding what Yun Qianyue meant.

Yun Qianyue added: "But we do have a day or two! We are staying not far from your academy; I will give you the address!"

Tianlian Douluo laughed heartily, his favor for this little girl, Yun Qianyue, increasing significantly: "Good, good, good! After I finish arranging the academy's affairs, I will take you to properly tour Tiantou City! With ten thousand years of history, the scenery of Tiantou is quite excellent!"

The group stayed at the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy for the time being. The members of the Heaven Dou Team walked over, their eyes filled with respect for the strong as they looked at Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue.

The opponents were younger than them and had lower cultivation, yet they had completely crushed them! And this was even with the amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the world's number one support-type tool Martial Soul!

This was no longer just an ordinary genius.

Although they realized from the conversation between Tianlian Douluo and The Twins just now that their weapons were somewhat special, didn't even the most special weapons require someone to control and use them?

A loss is a loss!

Both sides exchanged contact information. The captain of the Heaven Dou Team shook hands with Yun Qianzhao and said with a smile: "If there is a chance next time, let's compete again! We will work hard to cultivate and will never be as helpless as we were today!"

"Good!" Yun Qianzhao nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you all on a tour of the academy! Although our grounds aren't as vast as Shrek Academy, I guarantee there are sights here you've never seen before!"

Friendships between young people are built quickly; despite having just fought a match, both sides soon let go of their grievances.

Watching the group fuss over The Twins, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan narrowed their eyes, sensing a dangerous aura closing in.

"They're being way too enthusiastic."

Xie Xie followed behind Tang Wulin, muttering under his breath. Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Exactly, that Soul King from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Li Qianzhao, is getting way too close to Uncle-Master!"

"Boss... Vice-Captain!"

Xie Xie called out to Tang Wulin again. Seeing Tang Wulin with his head down, fiddling with his personal soul guidance terminal, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are you messaging?"

Tang Wulin replied, "Gu Yue. I'm telling her we just won our first arena match."
