Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Just as Xue Qinghe's thoughts were running wild.

Inside Seven Treasure Restaurant, Huang Long was waiting for her too.

He waited and waited, but that crown prince never showed up, leaving him rather puzzled.

How strange.

Since they were both possessors of god-level martial souls, he refused to believe Qian Renxue had not felt the resonance between their martial souls.

If there really was a resonance, should she not have come to the restaurant to test him out?

Why had she still not come?

Xiao Wu was happily eating a carrot, but when she looked up, she saw Huang Long glancing around as if he were looking for someone.

"Dragon God, my lord? Why aren't you eating? The carrots here are delicious!"

Dugu Yan also turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "You haven't been waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince this whole time, have you?"

Dugu Bo also spoke up. "Holy Son, stop waiting. Xue Qinghe won't come here to eat."

"If the Holy Son truly wants to meet this crown prince, then this old man can introduce you."

"It's fine. I was probably taking too much for granted."

Huang Long gave a wry smile and waved his hand. After collecting himself, he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Come on, come on, all the dishes are here. Everyone, hurry and eat."

Seeing that he did not want to continue the topic, the others tactfully stopped asking.

Dugu Yan said, "Grandpa, I want to go back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to handle my withdrawal, and call Lingling over while I'm at it."

Dugu Bo had no objection to this.

Since they had decided to follow the Holy Son to compete in the Soul Master Tournament, there was naturally no need to continue attending Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

However, Ye Lingling's side was not something he could decide.

He still had to go find that old fellow Ye Renxin and talk to him about this, so there would not be any misunderstandings later.

Huang Long spoke at this moment. "I'll go with you to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Without even thinking, Dugu Yan nodded and agreed. "Sure! Aren't you going to establish your own advanced Soul Master Academy to participate in the Soul Master Tournament?"

"We can go take a look at Heaven Dou Royal Academy while we're at it. Maybe we can even poach a few good seedlings."

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Huang Long nodded with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu beside him suddenly raised her chopsticks and called out, "Dragon God, my lord, I want to go too!"

Sea Maiden Douluo also blinked at him pitifully. "Holy Son, you can't leave Sea Dragon and me behind."

Huang Long did not know whether to laugh or cry. "We're only going to take a look at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. There's no need for so many people to go."

"How about this? Xiao Wu and Sister Sea Maiden can come along, but Uncle Sea Dragon, you can go with Dugu Bo to find Divine Doctor Ye."

When Sea Maiden Douluo heard this, she immediately raised her brows smugly at Sea Dragon Douluo.

See? The Holy Son still preferred having me follow him!

Sea Dragon Douluo received the signal in her eyes and shook his head with a helpless smile.

This Sea Maiden Douluo was already a Titled Douluo, yet she still acted like a child.

In his view, as long as it was a task assigned by the Holy Son, was there any difference?

Very quickly, everyone filled their stomachs.

After leaving Seven Treasure Restaurant, the group split up according to Huang Long's earlier arrangement.

Sea Dragon Douluo followed Dugu Bo to visit Ye Renxin.

Sea Maiden Douluo, meanwhile, followed Huang Long, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Their movements were also recorded by Xue Qinghe's people and sent back to the crown prince's residence.

After Xue Qinghe learned that they were going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, her brows immediately knitted together.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was managed by her imperial uncle, Prince Xue Xing.

Huang Long was going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Could it be because he intended to study there?

That would not do.

If Prince Xue Xing obtained such a genius, who knew how many obstacles it would add to her plans?

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe immediately slapped the table and rose. "Prepare the carriage. We're going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

She could no longer afford to be cautious as before. She had to hurry to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

If such a genius were snatched away by someone else, the loss would be even greater!

However, while Xue Qinghe was rushing urgently toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Huang Long and the others were already standing at the entrance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although the blazing sun beat down fiercely, there were still many people training hard on the academy's practical combat training grounds.

And among them, on the largest practical combat training ground.

Six soul master students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy were engaged in an intense battle there.

The six of them had been split into two groups in total.

One group was led by a young man with short black hair, their attacks sharp and fierce.

The other group was led by a veiled woman, their offense a little more conservative.

"This is the core of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Fighting Team."

Dugu Yan introduced them. "That person whose right hand has turned into a dragon claw, with spirit rings circling around it, is the captain, Yu Tianheng. I'm the vice-captain."

"Oh, right. That girl opposite him, whose martial soul is a pink begonia flower, is Ye Lingling. What do you think?"

Huang Long glanced at Yu Tianheng. After hearing Dugu Yan's words, his gaze shifted to Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling stood at the rear of the team the whole time, the pink begonia flower spinning in her palm. Petal after petal scattered outward, landing on the shoulders and backs of her other teammates.

Yu Tianheng's dragon claw swept over from the opposite side, the blast of air exploding and sending broken stones on the ground flying, but she did not even lift an eyelid.

Where the petals fell, the wounds Yu Tianheng's dragon claw had torn open on her teammates closed at a visible speed. The bloodstains faded from their skin as if they had never existed.

Her teammates were knocked down and got back up, again and again, without so much as a single scar left on their bodies.

When Sea Maiden Douluo saw this, her pupils trembled slightly, and she drew in a shocked breath.

"What powerful healing ability!"

Dugu Yan smiled. "Of course. Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia is known as the number one healing martial soul on the continent."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the battle on the training ground was already over.

There was no victory or defeat. The training time was simply up, and the instructor at the side of the field blew the whistle to stop.

The instant training ended, Dugu Yan raised her hand and waved. "Lingling, over here!"

Hearing her voice, everyone present immediately turned their gazes over.

But even more people were looking at Huang Long and Xiao Wu standing beside Dugu Yan.

Everyone was naturally curious about Dugu Yan, who had not come to the academy for two days, but they wanted even more to know who those two people were, and why they were able to stand beside Dugu Yan.

Yu Tianheng also glanced at Huang Long, a surging emotion in his eyes that wanted to drive him away from Dugu Yan's side.

But he hid that emotion very deeply, and no one noticed.

He walked over very naturally, smiling as if greeting a friend. "Yanzi, you're finally back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another young man who looked to be around thirty also walked over.

"That's right, Dugu Yan. You disappeared for two days for no reason, and everyone was a little worried about you."

The young man smiled, then turned to look at Huang Long and Xiao Wu, as well as Sea Maiden Douluo standing behind them, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Who are they?"

Dugu Yan smiled faintly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Qin Ming. I'm doing very well now. Better than ever, in fact."

"As for these two, they're both my friends. This one is called Huang Long, and this one is called Xiao Wu."

"I came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to handle my withdrawal from the school. They came with me."

"What? Withdraw?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone revealed expressions of disbelief.
