Classroom Farce!

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Chu Lan's cultivation had already reached level thirty-nine, but he was in no hurry to show it off.

He still attended classes in the Heaven Supreme Level class.

If he rushed to advance to the Heaven Dou Level, he would no longer be able to hide the fact that his cultivation had soared!

Dugu Yan made the same choice.

The two of them had progressed far too quickly. Being watched by others would be very troublesome!

It was not thieves that were frightening, but those who constantly had their eyes on you.

Inside the classroom.

Qin Ming was diligently teaching from the podium.

Below.

Dugu Yan glanced sideways, all her attention fixed on Chu Lan as she quietly invited him, "Chu Lan, after class, shall we go shopping in the city?"

Chu Lan lounged lazily in his seat, halfheartedly listening as Qin Ming explained various key points. Hearing Dugu Yan's words, he replied listlessly, "No..."

He had no interest in shopping or anything like that.

Dugu Yan's expression immediately darkened as she stared at Chu Lan.

"Dugu Yan!"

On the podium, Qin Ming stopped teaching. With a frown, he fixed his gaze on Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan curled her lips and withdrew her gaze.

Qin Ming did not say anything further and continued explaining the point from before.

Dugu Yan turned back to look at Chu Lan again.

"Do you remember our previous agreement?" Chu Lan asked softly, the corner of his lips lifting slightly.

Dugu Yan froze. After thinking for a moment, she remembered what Chu Lan meant.

Her lips curved upward as she asked with interest, "So... what do you want me to promise you?"

Chu Lan leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.

Dugu Yan's earlobes reddened slightly, her cheeks growing hot as she began to anticipate Chu Lan's next words.

Chu Lan whispered, "I want you to promise not to disturb me until this class is over."

"Chu Lan!!!"

Dugu Yan abruptly rose to her feet and slapped her palm against the desk in front of Chu Lan, glaring at him furiously.

In an instant, everyone in the classroom was startled by Dugu Yan's shout.

Especially Ye Lingling, who was sitting closest to Dugu Yan.

"Dugu Yan, Chu Lan, both of you go stand at the back!"

Qin Ming's face flushed red with anger. He did not let Dugu Yan run wild in the classroom just because her grandfather was Dugu Bo.

Chu Lan sighed helplessly.

What a case of getting dragged into it...

Dugu Yan said nothing more, nor did she intend to confront Qin Ming head-on.

Qin Ming was an instructor and a well-known figure at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. There was no need for her to clash with him over such a trivial matter.

Besides...

Chu Lan was being punished alongside her!

"Focus, all of you. Continue with the lesson!"

Qin Ming was utterly helpless.

None of the students here were ordinary people, and he still had to teach them conscientiously and responsibly.

The pressure was enormous!

"It's all your fault. Who told you not to agree to my request!"

Even while being punished, Dugu Yan continued chattering away with her cherry lips pouted.

"I'll give you a chance. Treat me to a meal," Chu Lan said, digging at his ear as his head began to ache.

"I happen to be hungry too. I'm sick of the academy's food anyway. It's time for a change of taste," Dugu Yan said to herself, the corner of her lips curving upward.

Chu Lan whispered, "Bring Ye Lingling too. You invite her."

"Invite your sister!" Dugu Yan's expression turned cold as she lifted her foot and stomped down on the top of Chu Lan's foot.

The crucial point...

She was wearing thin high heels!

Chu Lan's lips twitched.

"If you're a man, endure it. Don't cry out," Dugu Yan said smugly, continuing to leave Chu Lan no way out.

Chu Lan pressed his lips together, his face utterly serious.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan could not help covering her mouth and snickering. She found it especially amusing.

After class.

In Heaven Dou City, Chu Lan was sandwiched between Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling as the three of them wandered through the streets.

Though Chu Lan was young, he had become the target of countless passersby's envy.

Dugu Yan had still invited Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling showed no awareness whatsoever of being a third wheel and directly accepted Dugu Yan's invitation.

Along the way, she carried a small bag, expressionless as she looked straight ahead.

From time to time, Dugu Yan shot Chu Lan fierce glares.

Chu Lan did not find the atmosphere around him awkward in the slightest. Instead, he enjoyed it.

Time flew by, and two months later, Chu Lan and Dugu Yan reached level forty one after the other.

Thanks to Dugu Yan, Chu Lan came to the Star Dou Great Forest under Dugu Bo's protection to hunt a soul beast and add his fourth Soul Ring to Tiger Soul!

Of course!

Dugu Yan was there as well!

"I wonder if I'll run into..."

Chu Lan instinctively thought of the last time he had come to the Star Dou Great Forest, when he had unexpectedly encountered Xiao Wu.

"Run into what?"

Dugu Yan was right beside Chu Lan and heard his words clearly.

Dugu Bo led the way in front. As a Titled Douluo, his hearing was astonishingly sharp.

He heard Chu Lan's words clearly.

"The last time I came here to look for a soul beast, I quickly ran into a decent one—a Nether Fierce-Toothed Tiger."

"I wonder whether I'll be able to find a suitable soul beast early this time as well."

Chu Lan instantly came up with an excuse.

Hearing this.

Dugu Bo said seriously, "Although the Star Dou Great Forest is vast, the number of soul beasts here has been dwindling. When I came here in my youth, I would have already encountered quite a few soul beasts by now."

Chu Lan did not want to discuss this topic. Right now, he only wanted to find the best and most suitable soul beast!

"Roar—"

Not long after the three entered the mixed zone, they heard a resounding tiger's roar.

Following the sound, they soon saw a white-and-blue Battle Tiger licking its wounds.

Not far away lay the corpse of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, with a purple Soul Ring beside it.

"It's a ten-thousand-year Thunderlight Raging Tiger!"

"At the same level, this kind of soul beast is not the slightest bit weaker than a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"

"Kid, you're in luck!"

Dugu Bo secretly released his pressure, crushing down toward the Thunderlight Raging Tiger.

"Didn't you want a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring? This Thunderlight Raging Tiger suits you very well!"

Strands of emerald-green poisonous mist spread from Dugu Bo's body, enveloping the Thunderlight Raging Tiger.

Chu Lan and Dugu Yan watched from a distance, quietly awaiting the result.

Chu Lan knew a little about Thunderlight Raging Tigers as well. They were exceptionally well-rounded soul beasts with virtually no weaknesses. If he had to name one flaw, it was... they could not fly!

"Roar—"

A mournful cry from the Thunderlight Raging Tiger rang out within the poisonous mist.

Dugu Bo withdrew the mist, revealing the Thunderlight Raging Tiger barely clinging to life, though not yet dead.

"Chu Lan, make your move!"

Dugu Bo flicked his sleeve and smiled calmly.

In less than three seconds, he had subdued a ten-thousand-year soul beast!

The feeling of showing off his prowess in front of others was truly satisfying!

However...

Neither Chu Lan nor Dugu Yan had the time to admire him. Their attention was completely focused on the Thunderlight Raging Tiger.

"Tiger Soul!!!"

As a heaven-shaking tiger roar rang out, Tiger Soul appeared beside Chu Lan.

"Transform!"

Chu Lan shouted in a low voice.

"Yes, Master!"

Tiger Soul roared, its entire body glowing as it transformed into a long blade in the blink of an eye.

Chu Lan gripped the hilt tightly and slowly closed his eyes.

The instant he opened them, he immediately unleashed one of the Seven Limits of Heaven-Swallowing Earth-Extinguishing—Mountain Collapse!

Only...

He had given this move a new name!

"Shatter Mountains and Overturn Peaks!"
