Training ground.
Yang Yuan took a look inside as he was passing by.
Several figures were interlaced in the training ground; one person was fighting an entire team, and even without using Jade Phosphor SerpentSpirit Abilities, they were still able to handle it with ease.
Whose general is this, to be so valiant?
So it was Dugu Yan!
Then it made sense.
Over the years, Dugu Yan's Spirit Power Level had reached as high as Rank 48, making her the highest-ranking student in Heaven Dou Academy besides Yang Yuan.
After Yang Yuan stood outside watching for a few minutes, the battle in the field quickly came to an end.
Dugu Yan was single-handedly taking on a full seven-person team.
First, she eliminated the weakest support Spirit Master at the fastest speed.
This support Spirit Master's spirit power was only Rank 32; Dugu Yan seized a flaw, broke through the others' defense, and eliminated him directly.
Among the remaining six, the ones with the highest spirit power were the Shi Family Brothers.
Both of their spirit power had reached Rank 39, which was a bit higher than in the original work.
This was also the result of the change in the academy's atmosphere.
However, these two brothers were defense Spirit Masters with limited attack power; even if Dugu Yan didn't use Spirit Abilities, they still posed no effective threat to her.
As the two agility-attack system Spirit Masters in the team, Yu Feng and Oscar both had Rank 37 spirit power.
The remaining two, though also at Rank 35, could only be eliminated one by one by Dugu Yan.
After the battle ended, Yang Yuan walked up and said with a smile.
"Sister Dugu, your strength is really getting greater and greater."
Dugu Yan clapped her hands and looked at the approaching Yang Yuan, her heroic face carrying a bit of a smile.
"I can't compare to a freak like you."
"Class Monitor!"
The other seven saw Yang Yuan and greeted him one after another, their expressions respectful.
Over the years, they had long since been won over by Yang Yuan and admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
Besides Yang Yuan rectifying the academy's atmosphere and them benefiting from it, there were times they would proactively ask Yang Yuan for advice, and he would give them a pointer or two.
And they soon discovered that Yang Yuan's guidance was actually more useful than that of the teachers.
So, don't just look at how they each only improved by one or two Ranks compared to the original work.
But their strength was more than a notch higher than in the original work.
Precisely because they were aware of their own progress, they felt gratitude and respect toward Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan nodded slightly and gave each of them a few pointers, pointing out their deficiencies and areas needing improvement.
With his current strength, he could discern everyone's flaws at a glance.
After listening, the group felt as if they had found a treasure and thanked Yang Yuan repeatedly.
After thanking him, seeing Dugu Yan and Yang Yuan standing side by side like a golden boy and jade girl, the group tactfully suggested they go absorb and digest Yang Yuan's guidance.
Soon, only Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan were left.
"These guys."
Yang Yuan chuckled at the sight.
Dugu Yan looked at Yang Yuan beside her, a blush flashing across her face.
Several years had passed, and Yang Yuan's figure had become increasingly tall and upright, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
As his strength increased and his body was continuously tempered, it gradually approached perfection.
To the point that his face was handsome almost to the point of being unreal, as if meticulously carved by the most outstanding Divine Craftsman.
And those Double Pupils of his were even more soul-stirring, deep as an abyss, exuding an invisible majesty that made people almost afraid to look directly at him.
However, Yang Yuan did not appear aloof in front of those close to him; even in front of ordinary people, he was still quite approachable.
After years of being together, Dugu Yan clearly no longer looked at Yang Yuan as a little brother and had a mysterious affection for him.
Every time she looked at his handsome face, a forbidden pleasure of nurturing would arise.
As for the age difference, that wasn't a big problem.
In Dugu Yan's view, she was nineteen and Little Brother Xiao Yuan was fourteen.
There was only a five-year difference; wasn't that just right?
Until now, she still didn't know Yang Yuan's true age.
"Little Brother Xiao Yuan, are you finished with your Cultivation?" Dugu Yan's tone was light, and she was almost leaning against Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan responded with a smile.
"Yes, I finished my Cultivation and happened to walk in as I was passing by, just in time to see you here, Sister Dugu."
"Sister Dugu's Thousand Mechanisms Ten Thousand Poisons Palm is becoming more and more proficient."
"It's all because Little Brother Xiao Yuan taught me well."
Hearing Yang Yuan's praise, Dugu Yan beamed with joy.
The Thousand Mechanisms Ten Thousand Poisons Palm was created because Yang Yuan saw that Dugu Yan's Spirit Ability offensive methods were too singular, all being various kinds of poison.
So Yang Yuan slightly modified it based on the Mysterious Jade Hand, incorporating Jade Phosphor Serpent poison methods; it was a close-quarters combat technique with extremely strong offensive capabilities.
The two walked out of the training ground chatting and laughing, like a golden boy and jade girl.
On the way, Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Vacation starts in a few days. Teacher Qin Ming plans to take us from the Heaven Dou CityGreat Spirit Arena and challenge the Great Spirit Arenas in various cities along the way. What do you think?"
Qin Ming had joined Heaven Dou Academy three years ago, when he was only Rank 54.
At the beginning of this year, he just reached a Breakthrough to Rank 60 and became a Heaven Dou-level teacher at the academy.
He was also currently the teacher of Yang Yuan's class.
After hearing this, Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow and then smiled. "That's certainly fine. There are now three Spirit Ancestors in the team, so you'll also encounter teams at the Spirit Ancestor level, which can still provide some tempering."
That's right; besides Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng had also reached a Breakthrough to level 40.
When Yang Yuan was at Rank 25, Yu Tianheng had once been forced to fight him in a class combat session.
In that battle, he fought with all his might but ultimately ended in a crushing defeat.
Since then, he had become increasingly diligent in his Cultivation, determined to wipe away his previous humiliation by challenging Yang Yuan.
Only then did he reach Rank 42 at his current age.
Unfortunately, he had now completely abandoned that thought.
In the face of Yang Yuan's powerful talent, his pride and conceit were all vulnerable.
He could only lower his target to defeating Dugu Yan.
He originally thought that since he possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, had high poison resistance, and possessed Spirit suppression, he could defeat Dugu Yan even if he was a few Ranks lower.
But he didn't expect that while he could initially go back and forth with Dugu Yan.
As time passed, he actually found that the gap between his Rank and Dugu Yan's was getting wider and wider.
Even though he had InnateRank 8 spirit power, which was one Rank higher than Dugu Yan's.
After hearing this, Dugu Yan caught the underlying meaning in Yang Yuan's words and frowned slightly.
"From what you're saying, are you not coming with us?"
Yang Yuan replied with a smile, "With my strength, if I team up with you, you won't get any tempering."
"What's more, for this year's vacation, I plan to go home for a visit."
Dugu Yan said without hesitation, "Then I'll accompany you back; I haven't even been to your home yet."
As she spoke, a hint of shyness appeared on Dugu Yan's heroic face.
At the sight, Yang Yuan's face darkened with frustration.
"In a little over a year, it will be the Continental Soul Master Tournament. What are you going for?"
"It's not like there won't be opportunities in the future."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan mumbled regretfully, "Fine."
As for why Yang Yuan wanted to go home.
Besides visiting Old Jerry, there was another purpose.
The blue silver emperor spirit bone!
