Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are Shocked, Li Qinglian is a Super Prodigy

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Unlike the utterly shabby Shrek Academy, and unlike a highly specialized school like Blazing Fire Academy.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was a comprehensive advanced Soul Master academy. As long as one's talent met the standard, Soul Masters with any kind of Martial Soul could enroll and cultivate there.

After school.

Bright, youthful young men and women walked out in the academy's uniforms.

"Huo Wu? Is that really you?"

"What are you doing here looking for us? And how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Two young women walked up to Huo Wu, surrounded by admirers.

The one speaking was a tall girl with short, deep-purple hair. Her green eyes were extremely unusual, giving people a strangely eerie feeling.

The girl beside her wore a black veil, her waterfall-like blue hair flowing down her back. She had a very quiet temperament. She was surprised by Huo Wu's arrival, but said nothing.

"There's no time."

"I came to find you because it's urgent. I need your help."

"My boyfriend is injured, and he's been poisoned too. Dugu Yan, you should be able to detoxify him, right?"

Huo Wu spoke anxiously.

After settling Li Qinglian in the hotel, she had hurried over.

Here, she played a little trick.

She described Li Qinglian as her boyfriend, so the other party wouldn't develop any covetous thoughts toward him.

"Wait. You already have a boyfriend?"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both a little stunned.

A woman like Huo Wu had actually found a partner this early.

That was truly rare.

"Mm."

"Then let's go. My detoxification skills are first-rate. If that really doesn't work, I can still ask my grandfather."

Dugu Yan was happy to help and make Huo Wu owe her a favor.

She and Huo Wu were not actually that close.

But as geniuses of the same generation, and both women, they would inevitably have plenty of dealings in the future.

"For Huo Wu to be this worried about him... I wonder what that boy is like."

"I heard Feng Xiaotian from Fengxiao Academy has always had a secret crush on Huo Wu. It couldn't be him, could it?"

"Probably not. If it were Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu would have said his name directly. That means Huo Wu's boyfriend probably isn't very famous."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling thought to themselves.

They actually did not care who Huo Wu's boyfriend was.

They simply felt that...

The boyfriends they found in the future absolutely could not be inferior to Huo Wu's.

When Li Qinglian woke from his deep sleep again, his entire body was wrapped in bandages.

"Li Qinglian. You're awake. Huo Wu went out and won't be back for a while."

Li Qinglian looked in the direction the voice came from. It was a girl with short, deep-purple hair, about the same age as Huo Wu. She was similarly tall, with a unique charm between her brows and eyes.

"My name is Dugu Yan. I'm Huo Wu's friend. She asked us to come and treat you."

Dugu Yan smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Huo Wu's boyfriend had already been very good-looking while asleep, but after waking, he carried an even more otherworldly air. His eyes were bright and sharp, making it impossible to look away after a single glance.

Dugu Yan had always been the type to get familiar with anyone right away, and she had quite a few male friends around her.

But she had never met a boy as handsome as Li Qinglian.

"Sister Yanyan, sorry to trouble you."

"It's not really trouble. But you do owe me a favor, and you'll have to repay it later."

Dugu Yan lifted her chin. She felt that Li Qinglian was not that simple.

For him to be so badly injured, he must have gone through a fight to the death.

"Sure."

Li Qinglian smiled openly.

"By the way. Can I ask who caused all those wounds on your body?"

"The person who fought you was very strong!"

Ye Lingling walked in just then, carrying a bowl of medicinal broth.

"Her name is Ye Lingling, heir of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye clan. She bandaged all the wounds on you. I was only responsible for helping detoxify you."

Dugu Yan introduced her to Li Qinglian.

"Sister Lingling."

"Hm? Little brother Qinglian, just how old are you?"

Ye Lingling blinked her large blue eyes. Judging by Li Qinglian's appearance, he seemed a little younger than them.

"Calling you both sister should be about right."

Li Qinglian looked embarrassed.

In truth, he had grown very quickly over the past two years. The Phoenix Evil Fire had caused him plenty of trouble, but it had also made his body develop far faster than ordinary people.

His physical age looked about the same as those youths in their twenties.

In reality, Li Qinglian and Ma Hongjun had already pulled apart in this regard.

When Ma Hongjun awakened his Martial Soul, he had been the same as him, which meant that at that time, Ma Hongjun had been just like him.

Back when Shui Bing'er had asked him why he could absorb a thousand-year spirit ring, there was actually one very important factor he had forgotten to tell them. That was that Li Qinglian's body developed extremely quickly. When he absorbed his first spirit ring, his body had already been equivalent to that of an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old child.

Ma Hongjun did not have this advantage. This was an advantage that belonged solely to someone who had survived the ordeal of Evil Fire burning the body.

And Li Qinglian's overall physical age was around twenty-two.

"Pfft."

"And you're still Huo Wu's boyfriend?"

"Has Huo Wu gotten this bold??"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling cried out in shock.

Huge gossip!

Super huge gossip!

Huo Wu was about the same age as them. Although she was still a youthful beauty, the age gap between the two of them was only around five years.

But!

This was Li Qinglian!

Huo Wu could actually bring herself to do it!

"Wait... You seem to have the cultivation of a Great Soul Master right now, don't you?"

Ye Lingling said, and then both of them fell silent.

He had broken through to the second-ring Great Soul Master realm before even turning nine!

His cultivation was rank twenty-two!

This meant that, barring any accidents, Li Qinglian would definitely be able to break through to Soul Elder before the age of twenty-two!

Anyone who could break through to Soul Elder before that age, without exception, was a top-tier monster. Every single one had left a resounding reputation across the continent!

Huo Wu had only cultivated to rank twenty-six at twenty-three years old. Basically, she would have to wait until she was twenty-four, close to twenty-five, before she could barely break through to Soul Elder! As for the age when she broke through to Soul Ancestor, it would be twenty-eight.

And that was already considered a commendable genius on the continent!

But someone like Li Qinglian!

"Damn. I thought Huo Wu just liked younger guys, but it turns out she locked onto a potential stock in advance!"

Dugu Yan lost it.

She had originally planned to tease Huo Wu a little after she came over. In the end, she was the one who broke first.

Ye Lingling's expression was also complicated.

Girls were different from men. Men had to strengthen themselves, while women could rely on marriage to fight a turnaround battle.

Even if their innate Martial Soul was a little worse and their talent was a little weaker, as long as they had an outstanding husband, they had won.

What girl did not yearn for love? What woman did not hope to have an omnipotent boyfriend?

And Huo Wu had simply hit the jackpot, locking onto a super monster in advance.

With this kind of talent, as long as nothing unexpected happened, it should be very easy for him to break through to Title Douluo.

"You two, watch yourselves. Don't start coveting my little brother Qinglian."

No one knew when Huo Wu had returned.

She quickly walked up to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and reached out to rap both women on the forehead twice.

She was a woman too, so she naturally knew exactly how women thought.

Women were not as lustful as men, but when they encountered a true potential stock, all sorts of thoughts would start to arise.

Especially Dugu Yan.

That woman's personality was very similar to hers.

Little brother Qinglian was far too outstanding.

Back then, the moment Shui Yue'er arrived at Blazing Fire Academy, she had taken one look at Li Qinglian and set her heart on him, wishing she could become his wife right away.

Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian had a Martial Soul fusion skill, so the two of them were bound to end up together. As for Huo Wu, all she could do now was secure second place and fight for first.

The Water Family sisters alone were enough to give her a headache. She really did not want even more love rivals.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were each existences who were in no way inferior to Shui Bing'er's level!

With the Water Family sisters as a cautionary example, if this situation had not been urgent, she absolutely would not have wanted those two girls to get to know Li Qinglian.

At least, until she completely became Li Qinglian's first woman, she did not want to say anything.
