Lust, the most inconspicuous of the Seven Deadly Sins, gave people the impression of desire taking over the mind, with the little head replacing the big one in thought. But that was not actually the case.
Lust was the pursuit of beauty, desire with boundaries and restraint! If he blindly pursued physical pleasure, then what Wang Tianyi possessed would not be a Lust personality—he would have become Lust's slave!
Beautiful things deserved respect. As a male, physically stronger by nature, Wang Tianyi respected beautiful ladies with self-respect. Of course, that did not mean he would become a warrior of pure love. Pure love did exist, but it would be directed at many people. His love could not be stopped, and with the blessings of Lust and Chastity, it was unstoppable!
A bright red rose quietly bloomed, releasing a faint fragrance. Ye Lingling looked at Wang Tianyi, who resembled an ancient gentleman, her cheeks flushed pink as she shyly accepted the rose he offered her. Amid thunderous applause and cheers, Wang Tianyi escorted Ye Lingling from the arena.
"Beast! This guy is simply a beast! How could he be so handsome?! If he's this handsome, how are the rest of us supposed to live?"
Wang Tianyi and Ye Lingling's fight had ended quickly. However, since Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's opponents had surrendered voluntarily, the two of them returned before Wang Tianyi and witnessed everything from nearby.
Yu Tianheng had only one thought: handsome! How could a young man be this handsome? He gritted his teeth. No woman could refuse these methods! Poor Yu Feng and Osler, though. In the face of Wang Tianyi's ability to charm both men and women, all their attentiveness now seemed utterly insignificant. The two were not even comparable!
It was simply an old master toying with children!
"Lingling is so lucky!"
Dugu Yan, standing beside him, had a faint blush on her cheeks and looked utterly smitten. This made Yu Tianheng panic.
"Captain, Sister Yan, have your matches already ended?"
The departing Wang Tianyi and Ye Lingling spotted the strangely pale-faced Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan at once. Holding the rose, Ye Lingling excitedly walked over. Others might not have noticed her lively, cheerful manner, but Dugu Yan was different! Ye Lingling had never accepted flowers from anyone before, yet now she was clutching that thorny rose tightly...
This girl is done for. She's falling in love!
"Oh! Senior Dugu! We haven't seen each other for only a few minutes, so why does it feel as though we've been apart for so long?"
Wang Tianyi turned around with incomparable flair. Somehow, another rose appeared in his hand, and he elegantly offered it to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan smiled and accepted it. The moment the rose touched her hand, she was slightly surprised. It was a beautiful, vivid rose. Compared with an ordinary rose, the difference was that its thorns had vanished, as though they had been erased by a gentle force...
"Hey, Wang Tianyi! Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to do that right in front of me?"
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and seized Wang Tianyi by the collar, his face full of fury. Such masterful tactics made him feel inferior, but Dugu Yan was clearly his girlfriend!
"Oh? So Captain means it would be fine when you aren't around?"
Wang Tianyi still wore a smile, though it had become much more subdued.
Seeing Yu Tianheng look as though he wanted to devour him alive, Wang Tianyi stopped teasing him.
"Captain, how could you bear it? Every girl should have beautiful flowers. Were you going to make Senior stand aside and envy her in secret?"
His attentiveness toward women had limits. Wang Tianyi, in his Lust personality, was a man who loved broadly, but every flower he gave carried the same meaning. There was no romantic yearning mixed into them—only praise for beautiful things.
"That's right! Junior Tianyi is only twelve! What bad intentions could he possibly have? Unlike you, you blockhead! Junior Tianyi, come here. Ignore this guy!"
There was some playful bickering. Wang Tianyi declined Dugu Yan's unconscious attempt to link arms with him, and the group headed toward the lounge, some laughing while others gritted their teeth.
Inside the lounge, Qin Ming sat in a corner, his confidence in his own teaching ability shaken like never before.
Or rather, he was beginning to question his entire life.
Wang Tianyi had changed far too much. After spending only one day with him, Qin Ming had already seen three completely different personalities. The good Wang Tianyi was humble and courteous; the bad Wang Tianyi was arrogant to the extreme; and the neither-good-nor-bad Wang Tianyi was exceedingly elegant, yet made others jealous to the point of madness...
Qin Ming, how can you be discouraged? You're an outstanding graduate of Shrek Academy! Isn't he just one Wang Tianyi? At worst, treat this kid as ten people! If one set of tactics doesn't work, then prepare several more!
Qin Ming's fighting spirit reignited. Wang Tianyi's multiple personalities were an exceptionally difficult challenge for him, but as a senior teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had confidence in himself.
The lounge was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Wang Tianyi hovered around the two ladies, and his Lust personality seemed likely to last longer. But that was not the important part. The important part was that once Yu Feng and the others finished their individual spirit battles, the team battle belonging to this brand-new Imperial Fighting Team would begin!
"Listen up, everyone. Our opponent this time is far from simple: the Overlord Fighting Team. They were originally students of Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy, but were expelled for misconduct before drifting into the spirit battle arenas! Two of them have reached Rank 39 Soul Power, two are at Rank 38, one is at Rank 37, and there are also two Rank 36 Soul Elders. Their average Soul Power is extremely high!"
Qin Ming laid the Overlord Fighting Team's information before them. With only five minutes left before the team battle began, everyone examined the materials while listening to Qin Ming's tactical arrangements.
"Overlord Spear, a high-grade weapon-type Martial Soul among spear Martial Souls! Combined with Rank 39 Soul Power, this person is no ordinary opponent!"
"Not only that, their vice-captain is also the team's only agility-attack Soul Master. His Martial Soul is the Extreme Shadow Vulture, and his explosive power is extremely high. We must protect Lingling this time!"
"A Rank 38 support-type Soul Elder? Everyone else is assault-type?"
The Imperial Fighting Team had gone through countless spirit battles and possessed abundant combat experience! Just through their discussions, they could establish the outline of a basic strategy. Qin Ming, as their teacher, continuously refined it from the side, while Wang Tianyi listened carefully. Some things could not be learned in a classroom. Teamwork needed to be tempered through battle. After all, he was only a tiny Rank 32 Soul Elder right now, weak as could be, and needed his teammates' help!
That was right, his humble personality had come online...
"Relax, everyone! The Overlord Fighting Team is very strong overall, but we've faced opponents stronger than them! Since the enemy team has a particularly troublesome agility-attack Soul Elder, the Shi brothers will both take the field this time! Then, Wang Tianyi, you'll replace Osler and temporarily serve as the team's secondary assault fighter. Remember, keep an eye on your teammates at all times during battle, and attack cautiously!"
Yu Feng, who possessed the ability to fly, was qualified to participate. After all, his third soul skill carried a certain degree of support capability. Although Osler was somewhat disappointed, he understood that there was nothing wrong with Qin Ming's tactical arrangement.
"The next match! Team battle: Imperial Fighting Team versus Overlord Fighting Team..."
The match was already being hyped up!
"Brothers, let those guys witness the might of the Imperial Fighting Team!"
