God of Love Team!

The next day.

What happened at the training grounds spread throughout the academy, and Ning Ze's group of four became completely famous within the academy because of it.

Throughout the entire Advanced Soul Master Academy, whether noble-born students or talented commoners, nearly everyone knew about them.

The four fresh-faced newcomers admitted this year had not only insulted Qin Ming's alma mater to his face as trash, but had also pointed at the members of the two official Emperor Team squads and called them "too weak"!

Classes were fine enough, since instructors maintained order, but the moment lunch break or mealtime arrived, trouble followed.

Inside Heaven Dou Royal Academy's luxurious and elegant giant crystal dining hall.

Whenever Ning Ze led the three girls into the hall, the surrounding clamor would abruptly fall silent, followed by faint whispers full of mockery and contempt:

"Look, those are the four freshmen who don't know their place..."

"They look decent enough, but their mouths stink worse than athlete's foot. They actually dared to say our elite upperclassmen were too weak?"

"Heh, they're only acting tough because they have powerful backing. If they got serious in the arena, they probably couldn't even withstand one charge from a vice-captain!"

Faced with the sour whispers around him, Ning Ze calmly and elegantly cut the steak on his plate.

Zhu Zhuqing slowly chewed her food, while Xiao Wu focused intently on gnawing a premium carrot. None of the three could even be bothered to raise an eyelid.

However, Rongrong, who had always been pampered and could not stand the slightest grievance, was completely unable to sit still!

Smack!

Ning Rongrong slammed her silver knife and fork onto the table. Her cheeks puffed out with anger, and fire burned in her beautiful eyes.

"This is so annoying! Those busybodies buzz around like flies every day! I'm furious!"

With her cheeks stuffed full, Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and comforted her indistinctly, "Rongrong, ignore them. We were only telling the truth anyway."

"That still won't do! Why should I have to listen to their snide remarks every day?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled mischievously. Suddenly, she braced both hands on the table and leaned toward the other three, gritting her teeth as she proposed excitedly:

"Since they keep saying we're arrogant, then how about... the four of us form an official team too?"

"Form our own team?!" Xiao Wu's rabbit ears shot upright, and she immediately clapped in approval.

"Okay, okay! We'll form one too, and then we'll beat all of them flat in the academy-wide tournament!"

The normally aloof Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also brightened slightly, and she nodded in agreement.

"If we can train and build our coordination together in the simulated environment as an official team, it will indeed greatly benefit our Soul Power and teamwork."

The three girls all turned their gazes toward Ning Ze.

Ning Ze swallowed his fruit wine and wiped the corner of his mouth. "Forming a team is easy enough, but the academy probably won't approve it so readily."

"What are you afraid of? With me here, who would dare refuse?"

Ning Rongrong patted her ample chest, grabbed Ning Ze's arm, and headed outside.

"Come on! We've eaten enough, so let's walk it off. We're going to the Teaching Office to handle the paperwork right now!"

Not long afterward, at the academy's Teaching Office building.

Inside the spacious and imposing office of the Director of Teaching, a plump middle-aged director with two drooping mustaches leisurely sipped hot tea.

When he heard the four youngsters before him righteously declare, "We wish to apply to register an entirely new independent student team," he nearly sprayed a mouthful of scalding tea all over his documents!

"Cough, cough, cough... Absurd! This is utter nonsense!"

The director wiped his mustache with a handkerchief, his eyes widening as he was about to slam the table and reprimand these freshmen who did not know their place.

However, when he recalled Ning Rongrong and Ning Ze's identities, as well as their letters of introduction for enrollment...

The rebuke on the tip of his tongue got stuck in his throat, turning his face bright red.

The treasured pearl of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

If this little ancestor truly caused a scene in his office, then if Sect Master Ning Fengzhi or either of the two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, so much as sneezed, he would lose his position as Director of Teaching for good!

"Cough... Um, Student Ning Ze, Miss Rongrong."

The director wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and forced out a kindly smile as he earnestly advised them:

"While there are precedents for registering teams at the academy, this is not a game."

"According to academy rules, after a new team is established, it will have an entire month to build internal coordination. One month later, it must unconditionally accept the Academic Affairs Office's arranged 'initial strength assessment'!"

At this point, the director's expression grew more solemn, and he tapped the desk.

"If you fail the assessment, the team will be forcibly disbanded immediately, and you may not apply again for six months!"

"Of course... if you can overcome powerful opponents one after another and prove your strength, you will not only receive priority access to the academy's top simulated cultivation resources."

"In the future, you may even qualify to represent Heaven Dou Royal Academy and compete for a spot in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!"

The director adjusted his glasses and asked cautiously, "Even so, do you still insist on registering a team?"

"We insist! Of course we insist!"

Ning Rongrong cried out without hesitation. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also nodded with resolute expressions.

Ning Ze smiled faintly. "Director, let's proceed with the process."

"Very well..."

The director let out a long sigh and pulled a gilded team registration form from his drawer.

"Since you have made up your minds, fill this out. The team needs an official designation. Have you discussed what you will call yourselves?"

The moment the team name was mentioned, the three girls immediately became interested and began chattering as they fought over it.

"Call it the 'Seven Treasures Invincible Team'!" Ning Rongrong raised her little hand high and proudly lifted her chin.

"That sounds awful, it's too tacky!" Xiao Wu immediately curled her lips in objection. "I think we should call it the 'Invincible Soft Bone Rabbit Team.' It's cute and intimidating!"

Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her delicate brows slightly and shook her head coolly. "Too childish. The 'Netherworld Assault Team' would better suit a combat style."

The three girls each held their own opinion, none willing to yield. It looked as though they were about to spark another small Asura scene.

In the end, the three breathtaking girls, red-faced from arguing, stopped at the same time. They turned in perfect unspoken agreement and stared expectantly at Ning Ze, who had remained quietly seated all along.

"Ning Ze! Brother Ning Ze! You decide! Whatever you call it, that's what we'll call it!"

Seeing the three girls toss the problem to him, Ning Ze smiled helplessly. His fingertips lightly tapped the table, and after a moment of thought, he smiled.

"Since the four of us form its foundation, how about... we call it the 'God of Love Team'?"

"The God of Love Team?"

Ning Rongrong froze for a moment. Then her eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together with a sweet smile.

"Hehe, it sounds sacred and romantic, and it's named after your martial soul, Ning Ze. I approve with both hands!"

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears swayed as well. "It sounds really nice. I approve too!"

Zhu Zhuqing pressed her thin lips together. A gentle softness appeared on her cool little face as she quietly agreed, "It's a very unique name. I have no objections."

Seeing this, the director did not dare delay. With a grand stroke of his pen, he officially stamped the Teaching Office's bright red seal onto the form!

Thus, the one and only "God of Love Team" on the continent was officially declared established at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
