The Seven-Person Roster of Haotian Soul Master Academy

"Wouldn't adding a Defense Type Soul Master make the whole lineup too cumbersome? Without an Agile Attack Type Soul Master, we'd be much slower in both offense and defense."

Ah Yin lightly bit her finger and voiced her opinion after Yang Dong finished speaking.

"Haha, Ah Yin, you don't need to worry about that. Yang Dong can absolutely be used as an Agile Attack Type Soul Master. When the time comes, this Support Type Soul Master will give everyone a rather different experience."

Tang Xiao spoke before Tang Hao could. Both he and Tang Hao greatly admired Yang Dong. During the first two years, Tang Hao could still trade blows evenly with Yang Dong, but later on, in one-on-one fights, neither Tang Hao nor Tang Xiao was a match for him.

Once, after being provoked by Yang Dong, Tang Hao had even wanted to practice swordsmanship alongside him. In the end, Haotian Douluo personally stepped in and demonstrated the power of the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique before the two brothers, and only then did Tang Hao abandon the idea.

"That's right, Ah Yin. You can rest assured about that. You can always trust Yang Dong, just like you trust me!"

Tang Hao glanced at his brother and patted his chest as he spoke.

Is that so?

Ah Yin's eyes filled with thought. Her gaze happened to meet Yang Dong's again, and that feeling of having her secrets seen through swept over her body once more.

It wasn't an illusion. He really seems to know where I came from. Who exactly is he?!

Pushing away the distracting thoughts in her heart, she looked up and found that only Tang Xiao remained in front of her.

"Huh? Where did they go?"

Ah Yin asked curiously. How had those people disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Oh, Teacher Bai said she was going to choose teammates for us. Hao and Yang Dong went to the training grounds together."

Tang Xiao explained with a smile. Looking at the lovely girl before him, his heart pounded wildly.

"Would you like to go too? We could also practice our coordination while we're at it."

Tang Xiao extended an invitation.

"Sure."

Ah Yin smiled at him, then turned and left first, leaving Tang Xiao with nothing but her beautiful silhouette.

Haotian Soul Master Academy was a comprehensive institution, like a school on Earth in her previous life that combined elementary, middle, and high school. Starting at the age of six, children with cultivation talent would enter Haotian Soul Master Academy.

At that moment, many people had already gathered at the training grounds.

At first, many people looked down on Yang Dong. As time passed and his strength grew, he earned the respect of many.

"Senior Yang Dong!"

"Senior Tang Hao!"

As the two arrived, even more people came to the training grounds. Everyone knew that whenever these two appeared together, a very exciting match would take place here.

"There's nothing to watch today. We're not fighting today."

Tang Hao waved to the passersby as he spoke.

Hearing that, Yang Dong subconsciously glanced at Tang Hao. Did the sun rise in the west?

Heh...

Tang Hao sneered inwardly. The guy before him was becoming harder and harder to deal with. In an ordinary spar, he had no chance of winning at all. But using his trump cards would not only be unprofitable, it still might not guarantee a win. In that case, it was better not to fight.

Although many people were disappointed to hear that the two would not be fighting, they did not leave. Who knew whether Tang Hao was trying to fool them? It was not the first time he had done something like this.

"Really not giving it a try?"

Yang Dong asked with a smile.

"Try my ass. No."

Thinking of the way Ah Yin had looked at Yang Dong earlier, Tang Hao's tone turned unfriendly.

"Alright, then."

Yang Dong quickened his pace. By then, he had already arrived before an arena, where two ten-year-old children were sparring.

"Don't be nervous. Continue. I'll just watch from the side."

Yang Dong noticed that the two children's movements had slowed. Clearly, his arrival had affected them.

After standing with Yang Dong and watching for a while, Tang Hao left on his own. He had no interest in giving others pointers.

"Huh, Brother, Ah Yin, why are you two here?"

The moment Tang Hao squeezed out of the crowd, he saw the two familiar figures.

"What are you doing over there?"

Ah Yin asked curiously. She had been here for a while, but after watching for so long, she still could not make sense of it.

"Nothing much. Yang Dong just wants to help those children. He's giving them some pointers over there."

Tang Hao answered casually, then looked at Ah Yin with shining eyes. "Ah Yin, you've been at our Clear Sky Sect for so long, but you haven't been to Heaven Dou City, have you? How about we head out together and take a look around Heaven Dou City?"

Heaven Dou City?

The capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. Ah Yin truly had never been there before. Hearing Tang Hao's suggestion, she could not help feeling tempted, and she asked somewhat shyly, "Would that be alright?"

"What wouldn't be alright about it? Didn't Teacher Bai say just now that Ning Fengzhi is in Heaven Dou City? We can go welcome our teammate in advance. There's nothing inappropriate about that. Brother, don't you agree?"

As Tang Hao spoke, he began waggling his eyebrows at his brother.

"Hao is right. Let's go take a look around first. They have to go to Heaven Dou City eventually anyway, so we can meet up with them there."

Tang Xiao also began persuading her.

"Alright, then. Should we ask Yang Dong to come too?"

Ah Yin nodded and looked toward Yang Dong in the distance, asking the Tang brothers for their opinion.

"Let's not. There are so many people watching. It'll be easy for them to discover that we slipped out. We can just buy him a gift and apologize afterward."

Thinking of the way Ah Yin had looked at Yang Dong earlier, Tang Hao had originally wanted to say they should go together, but the words that came out were that they should not ask him.

"That makes sense. Then shall we go now?"

Ah Yin nodded, looked at Tang Xiao, then at Tang Hao, and revealed a happy smile.

"Let's go..."

Yang Dong did not know about the three leaving. Even if he had known, he could only have sighed at them valuing women over friends.

Only after the sky darkened did Yang Dong leave the training grounds and return to his dormitory, an exceptionally shabby room.

Knock, knock, knock!

Knock, knock, knock!

Not long after he entered, knocking sounded outside.

"Teacher Bai, what brings you here so late?"

Yang Dong opened the door and looked at Bai Jiajia before asking aloud.

"Phew, you're here. Are Tang Hao and the other two here?"

"I don't know. I was alone at the training grounds this afternoon. I wasn't with them."

"Then this is bad. Those three have left!"

A flash of annoyance crossed Bai Jiajia's face. Tang Hao causing trouble was one thing, but why had Tang Xiao joined in as well?

They left?

A look of astonishment flashed across Yang Dong's face. Those guys slipped away without even asking me?
