Meng Yiran's Secret Crush? Founding Holy Dragon Academy Delights Tuoba Xi

Yin Yu gave a cold snort. The vast pressure of a Titled Douluo swept out, buckling Tang San's knees and slamming him to the ground.

Yin Yu looked at him coldly.

"Where did this mad brat come from?

Shouting in my face—are you trying to get yourself killed?

What Titan Giant Ape? I haven't seen one!"

Meng Yiran wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and muttered under her breath.

"Is something wrong with him?

He lost his companion, so he came to question us about eating roast rabbit?"

Tang San's bones creaked under the pressure, and blood trickled from his mouth, but he kept glaring at Yin Changqing with venom in his eyes.

"Yin Changqing!

If anything happens to Xiao Wu, I, Tang San, swear I'll never let you get away with it!"

Yin Changqing sneered. He rose, walked up to Tang San, and looked down at him.

"You won't let us get away with it?

You, a level 31 Soul Elder who came pole-vaulting over here with a bamboo stick?

Get lost while you still can. Stop raving and let us eat our late-night snack."

With that, Yin Changqing exerted a little force from his palm, unleashing a surge of domineering Dragon Might.

It blasted the pinned Tang San dozens of meters away, sending him crashing down at the edge of the woods.

Tang San struggled to his feet, teeth clenched, his eyes brimming with hatred.

He knew he was no match for them. He summoned another long pole of Blue Silver Grass and drove it hard against the ground.

"Blue Silver Pole Vault!"

With a dull thud, Tang San sprang into the air. He became a blur and raced deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest without looking back.

Watching Tang San's ridiculous figure disappear into the distance, Tuoba Tingxue shook her head helplessly.

"Why are all the students at Shrek Academy so obsessed?"

Yin Changqing sat back down, tore off a piece of rabbit meat, and smiled faintly.

"Pay him no mind. He's just a clown.

Come, Elder Meng. Let's continue."

Early the next morning, Yin Changqing and the others set off together toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the way out, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and bowed to Yin Yu and Yin Changqing.

"Your Excellency Demon Dragon, Young Sect Master.

Once we return to the family estate in Barak City, I'll begin making arrangements at once. I'll hand over every property and resource of the Beast Clan to the Holy Dragon Sect."

Yin Yu smiled and nodded in approval.

"That's thoughtful of you, Elder Meng.

The Sect will never mistreat those loyal to it."

Yin Yu's gaze then passed over Meng Yiran, who was following quietly beside them. He spoke thoughtfully.

"As it happens, I've had something in mind lately.

The Holy Dragon Sect is thriving, and we need a place dedicated to training the younger generation.

I intend to establish Holy Dragon Academy."

Meng Shu's eyes lit up, and he hurried to respond.

"Your Excellency, do you mean..."

Yin Yu remained composed as he smiled.

"Since you're offering the Beast Clan's holdings, why not move Beast Academy here in its entirety?

We can use it as the foundation, relocate it to Holy Dragon City outside our Sect, and formally rename it Holy Dragon Academy."

"Many promising young members of the Sect will study there too.

What do you think?"

The thought of uprooting the academy he had spent years building pained Meng Shu, and he was reluctant to let it go.

But after hesitating for only a moment, he answered firmly.

"It would be Beast Academy's honor to serve the Holy Dragon Sect!

As soon as I return, I'll arrange the move. I guarantee the entire academy will be relocated to Holy Dragon City!"

Meng Shu stole a glance at Yin Changqing, and excitement stirred within him.

At just twelve, the Young Sect Master had already reached level 42, and his combat strength far exceeded that of his peers. Becoming a Titled Douluo was all but certain for him.

Yiran had already given her heart to the Young Sect Master.

If the founding of Holy Dragon Academy gave her the chance to study alongside him, they would see each other every day.

Perhaps she could truly win over such an extraordinary genius. Then the Beast Clan's fortunes would soar!

At the thought, Meng Shu's smile grew more genuine. He drew Meng Yiran forward and said with a smile.

"Yiran, hurry and thank His Excellency.

Once you're in Holy Dragon City, you must learn all you can from the Young Sect Master."

A blush rose on Meng Yiran's face. She stole an affectionate glance at Yin Changqing, then lowered her head and replied softly.

"I understand.

Thank you, Your Excellency Demon Dragon, for giving me this opportunity. And from now on... I hope to learn much from you, Young Sect Master."

Yin Changqing smiled and nodded, answering calmly.

"We'll be learning from each other, Miss Yiran. No need to be so formal.

If you need anything once you reach Holy Dragon City, come find me anytime."

Tuoba Tingxue teased her.

"Look at Yiran. I'd say she wishes she could fly to Holy Dragon City right now."

Her thoughts laid bare, Meng Yiran blushed even harder and lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her robe. The others laughed warmly.

The group chatted and laughed as they went.

After they left the Star Dou Great Forest, Meng Shu and his two companions said their farewells and returned to Barak City.

Yin Yu summoned his Dark Demon Dragon Martial Soul and took Yin Changqing and Tuoba Tingxue back to the Holy Dragon Sect.

Before the great hall on the mountain behind the Holy Dragon Sect, an enormous dark shape descended from the sky with a howl, whipping up fierce gusts of wind.

The Dark Demon Dragon Martial Soul faded, and Yin Yu, Yin Changqing, and Tuoba Tingxue landed steadily.

Before the three could settle themselves, Tuoba Xi appeared before them.

Tuoba Xi's eyes shone. His gaze went straight to Yin Changqing, and when he sensed the level 42 Soul Power Yin Changqing deliberately let show, he burst out laughing.

"Good!

Excellent!

Changqing, you haven't disappointed your grandfather!

It seems your trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was a great success!"

He took hold of Yin Yu and Yin Changqing, unable to contain his impatience as he asked,

"Tell me, how did Changqing's fourth soul ring turn out?

And did you run into any trouble along the way?"

Yin Yu straightened his robe and smiled.

"What's the rush, Father? Let's go inside and sit down. We can tell you everything there.

We gained far more from this trip than Changqing reaching level 42."

Tuoba Xi's eyes lit up. He quickly ushered all three into the hall and had them sit down.

The moment they were seated, Tuoba Xi slapped the armrest and urged him on.

"Yin Yu, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me!"

Yin Yu took a sip of tea and spoke at an unhurried pace.

"Let's start with what the Sect gained in strength.

We happened to meet the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple at the edge of the forest. Their granddaughter Meng Yiran had just reached level 30, so we gave them a hand.

Grateful for our power and generosity, Meng Shu pledged his loyalty on the spot.

Once he finishes making arrangements in Barak City, he'll hand over all the Beast Clan's properties and resources and bring the entire clan under the Holy Dragon Sect!"

Tuoba Xi was overjoyed.

"The Peerless Dragon and Snake?

Meng Shu is a Soul Douluo above level 80. With the Martial Soul Fusion Skill he shares with Chao Tianxiang, their combined fighting strength is among the very best below the Titled Douluo level!

If their entire clan pledges loyalty, the Holy Dragon Sect will gain a tremendous boost to its strongest fighters!"
