I Want to Improve So Badly! A Reunion After So Long!
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Notting City has never been so bustling.
As soon as dawn broke, a long queue had already formed at the city gate.
Soul Master in horse-drawn carriages, pushcarts, and on foot were packed together, making it impossible to move.
Teachers and students from all the academies of the Heaven Dou Empire, disciples from various sects, and even busybodies from the Star Luo Empire all flocked to this small town.
"Make way! Make way! This is the Long Night Alliance's cargo wagon!"
The cart drivers shouted as they pulled their carts, laden with goods bearing the inscription "[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect]", and swayed as they squeezed through the city gate.
The tea stalls along the street were full of people, including several out-of-town Soul Master who were holding rough porcelain bowls and talking in hushed tones.
"I heard that the Lower Four Sects are going to challenge the Night Alliance Leader's Soul Spirit System. Isn't that courting death?"
"Absolutely! They've been fighting monsters in the Far North Forest and saving so many people!"
"They're shameless! They come looking for trouble when no one's home. They're utterly shameless!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, those sitting over there are disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect!"
"What are you afraid of? Do you think they'd dare cause trouble?"
The crowd buzzed with discussion; though no one openly swore, their words conveyed a deep disdain for the three sects.
The governor of Notting City was very shrewd and had long encouraged merchants to do business, thus boosting Notting City's economy.
The arena was temporarily set up in the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, with Soul Power barriers erected around it, sufficient for Soul Douluo to fight.
The stands were packed, and even college students were allowed to watch, their young faces filled with curiosity.
The dais was located directly in front of the arena, with chairs covered in red silk arranged in rows, prepared for distinguished guests.
Prince Xue Xing, Star Luo Empire Envoy, Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, Yu Yuanzhen...
They're all familiar faces!
As for Tuo Ba Chuo, Hu Qian, and Feng Chang, the three Elder sat side by side, forcing smiles, their eyes filled with an almost overflowing gloom.
"Why do you all look so sullen, gentlemen?"
Director Su —no, I should say Principal Su—stepped forward with a smile to inquire.
The three remained silent.
"I heard you made a bet with the Night Alliance Leader, what exactly is it?"
"Should we fully support the Soul Spirit System, or lose money and property?"
"You!!!" Hu Qian's muscular body trembled, the word "roll" brewing in his throat.
"Hey, hey, hey," Tuo Ba Chuo stopped him, putting on a smile, "Actually, it's nothing."
"Principal Su is extremely busy; you should go and take care of your students!"
Principal Su pouted and left, feeling awkward.
"What is that?!" Hu Qian couldn't help but exclaim.
"That Principal Su, a mere Soul Elder, dares to come and talk to us!"
Tuo Ba Chuo's eyes twitched, and he pressed down on Hu Qian's wrist. "That Principal Su has a past with Ye Hua."
"Just bear with it, don't cause trouble at this critical juncture."
Hu Qian mad with anger!
How could a Soul Douluo have to be polite to Soul Elder?
I'd rather hang myself from a crooked tree!
Feng Chang also frowned, "Brother Tuoba, you're being a bit too cautious."
"We're respectable people, even if we're down on our luck, we don't need to be afraid of a Soul Elder, right?"
Tuo Ba Chuo shook his head and said nothing more.
Do you think he wanted that?!
But Ye Hua's strength is undeniable!
So frustrating!!!
He looked towards the waiting area across the street.
Several young figures stood there, their expressions calm, not at all intimidated by the aura of the Lower Four Sects.
"I'd like to see just how powerful his men really are," Tuo Ba Chuo, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Principal Su, who had walked a distance away, was undoubtedly excited.
Back then, Tang San offended the protagonist, and he wanted to stand up for the protagonist!
They thought he was an investment genius, but just a few years later, that genius has become a famous figure across the continent!
Based on their past relationship, Ye Hua took charge of Notting City in the morning, and the appointment and dismissal documents were issued in the afternoon!
The former principal was transferred to the city lord's mansion to retire!
Thinking back to those glorious years, Principal Su was filled with emotion.
"Hehehehe!"
"Principal! Principal Su!"
"Even Lower Four Sects Elder from the lower sects have to call me Principal Su!"
"Ah, I really want to improve!"
Meanwhile, in the waiting area outside the arena, Huo Wushuang finally managed to squeeze out from the crowd.
"Huo Wu!" Huo Wushuang waved his hand.
"Brother!" Huo Wu was overjoyed to see Huo Wushuang.
"You're really something," Huo Wushuang patted her shoulder, "Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell your family!"
"If it weren't for Teacher Ye sending out invitations for us to come and watch the match, my brother wouldn't even know!"
Huo Wu slapped his hand away, rolled her eyes, and said, "Brother, how old am I? Do I need to report to you to get into a fight?"
Huo Wushuang was speechless. He looked her up and down a few times, then suddenly froze.
I didn't notice it from a distance.
Now that he was closer, he could truly feel the powerful Soul Power emanating from Huo Wu!
He's even far superior to his older brother!
"You... you've become Soul Emperor?!" Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wu curled her lips into a smug smile. "What, scared?"
Huo Wushuang opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "... What secret recipe does Teacher Ye have?"
Huo Wu tilted her head, "Probably a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, plus Flame Right Arm of Explosive Burning, hmm, and a genius sparring match--hmm!"
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Wushuang covered her mouth, "Stop, stop, I won't ask! If you keep talking, I'm afraid I'll die of Envy!"
His older brother is only level 53 now!
My sister dragged me to a whole new level!
Huo Wu giggled and pried his hands away. "Don't worry, I'll ask Ye Hua to arrange an exchange spot for you too."
"Forget it," Huo Wushuang sadly, "I'm busy enough with family matters."
"Also, you should call me Teacher Ye. Does anyone call me by my first name? Be polite... wait!"
Huo Wushuang suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Huo Wu in shock.
After a long pause, his expression became complicated. "A younger sister grows up and can't stay at home forever."
This intimacy suggests he's handing her over to Ye Hua.
On the other side, Yu Tianheng bypassed the crowd and bumped into Dugu Yan.
"My vice-captain," Yu Tianheng said with emotion, "It's been a long time."
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, "Yes, it's been a long time!"
Just as Yu Tianheng was about to reminisce, he sensed her powerful aura.
Looking at himself, he realized that despite his frantic training, his strength was far inferior to his opponent's, and he was speechless.
"What?" Dugu Yan smiled. "Is the captain being too formal?"
"Uh..." Yu Tianheng rubbed his forehead, "Your strength is too great, I feel ashamed of myself!"
"If you knew that, why didn't you come back then!" Dugu Yan sighed.
Yu Tianheng sighed helplessly, "I was also assigned this task by my family, but I think they'll definitely regret it after the arena battles!"
Not far away, the deans of the Godwind Academy and Skywater Academy also stopped their exchange students, offering them words of comfort and concern.
Just then, the referee stepped onto the stage.
"Gentlemen! Today's sparring session will see each side send five members!"
"One-on-one Soul Fighting, best of five!"
"The winner can choose to continue Soul Fighting, or win outright!"
He paused, then unfolded the list in his hand.
"The Long Night Alliance's selection for battle--"
"Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Shi Mo!"
"Choose any of the Lower Four Sects exit routes--"
"For the Personal Disciple disciples of their respective sects!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room looked at each other in bewilderment!
