Night fell.
A gust of wind burst into Yu Xiaogang's dormitory, blowing the door wide open.
A dark figure flashed in from the doorway.
Behind the desk, Yu Xiaogang set down his pen and instantly knew who had arrived.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, the Clear Sky Douluo, you've come!"
Tang Hao's bronze face emerged in the candlelight, and he nodded faintly.
"I want to know everything about Yang Yuan."
Yu Xiaogang immediately told Tang Hao everything he knew.
After listening, Tang Hao's expression gradually darkened.
"A Divine RankSpirit, Innate Level 20, a Spirit Emperor at twelve, Spirit Medicine that raises spirit power…"
Tang Hao murmured, shock flashing in his sharp eyes.
Yang Yuan's talent had exceeded his expectations.
Although he had seen Yang Yuan fight in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had mistakenly believed the boy was only level 40.
After all, a twelve-year-old Spirit Ancestor at level 40 was already absurd.
But he had never imagined Yang Yuan's talent was even more Heaven-Defying.
Even the grandfather he worshipped had been far from Yang Yuan's current Realm at twelve.
At the thought, Tang Hao's face shifted, cold killing intent surfacing at times.
He had originally planned to recruit Yang Yuan to become Tang San's right-hand man.
But with Yang Yuan's terrifying gift, he doubted Tang San could ever keep him in check.
twin spirits were strong, but not invincible.
Even if Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could awaken a second time, it would barely reach top-tier Spirit standards.
A Genius like this, if he couldn't be controlled, had to be strangled before he matured.
Reading Tang Hao's intent, Yu Xiaogang said, "Your Excellency, don't act rashly; we may not be at that point. Let me try to take him as my Disciple first. If he agrees, he and Little San will be fellow Disciples. With their gifts combined, they would be invincible."
Tang Hao frowned, weighing the idea.
His ultimate goal was to strengthen the Clear Sky Sect and avenge himself on Spirit Hall.
But Spirit Hall's foundation was unfathomable.
He had escaped Qian Daoliu several times and knew the man's terrifying strength; without luck, he would already be dead.
Tang San alone could hardly shake Spirit Hall.
But with Yang Yuan added, it should be possible.
Thinking this, Tang Hao looked steadily at Yu Xiaogang.
"Very well, we'll do as you say."
Just as Tang Hao turned to leave, Yu Xiaogang called after him.
"One more thing—about Dugu Bo's Spirit Medicine. Tianheng tells me it can raise Spirit Power Level and even Spirit quality. If possible, could Your Excellency obtain a plant or two for Little San? With that aid, I'm confident Tang San can catch up to Yang Yuan."
Yu Xiaogang wasn't stubborn, and he regarded Tang San as a son; he didn't want the boy falling behind in Spirit Medicine.
Whatever Yang Yuan had, Tang San must have too.
How Tang Hao obtained the medicine from Dugu Bo was not his concern.
Tang Hao nodded coolly. "I'll go 'borrow' some from Dugu Bo. Wait for my word."
His tone was casual and domineering, as though Dugu Bo's Spirit Medicine was already his.
Yu Xiaogang watched in admiration; if only he possessed Tang Hao's strength.
He knew Tang Hao's "borrow" meant "take by force," yet he saw no issue.
In this World, the strong ruled.
Although Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, his one-on-one ability was the weakest among them.
With Tang Hao's strength, handling Dugu Bo would be effortless.
After those words, Tang Hao vanished like a gust of wind.
The next day, Qin Ming led the Huang Dou Battle Team to Shrek Academy.
"Director, will you come with us or go separately to Heaven Dou Academy?"
Flender smiled. "Xiao Ming, you know we've been here ages; there's matters to settle. You go ahead; we'll follow shortly."
Shrek Academy was Flender's life's work, and he was reluctant to leave.
Qin Ming understood and said no more.
"Then, Director, we'll be off first."
"Haha, go on, we'll be right behind you."
Qin Ming bade farewell to Flender and the other Shrek teachers.
On the road, the Huang Dou Battle Team was lively; Ning Rongrong stretched.
"This training trip is finally over."
"Yeah, time flies—half a year in the blink of an eye."
Qin Ming smiled. "I've watched you grow; you've all done excellently."
"Haha, Teacher Qin Ming, look who trained us!" Yu Feng laughed.
The Shi Mo Brothers chimed in softly, "Before we left, the class monitor told us to seize this chance; how could we let him down?"
During the training, the Shi Mo Brothers had toughened greatly, reaching level 40 within three months.
Ning Rongrong had wanted Sword Douluo to fetch their spirit rings, but they refused to break the seven-member team and delayed the hunt.
Hearing them, Qin Ming sighed, "Student Yang Yuan's prestige is truly high."
Everyone smiled knowingly—except Yu Tianheng.
Dugu Yan gazed into the distance, Yang Yuan's image already in her mind.
She couldn't help wondering, "Has Little Brother Xiao Yuan missed me these days?"
Ye Lingling's face was as serenely inscrutable as ever, her eyes drifting, thoughts unknown.
Half a month later.
Heaven Dou Academy!
At the familiar sight, the Huang Dou Battle Team cheered.
"We're back!"
Qin Ming looked at them and smiled. "All right, dismissed!"
They called good-byes and scattered.
The Shi Mo Brothers, Yu Feng, and Oscar threw arms over shoulders and headed to their dorms.
Yu Tianheng walked alone, eyes sparkling with eagerness, impatient to return home and have his grandfather propose marriage.
Ning Rongrong's eyes spun; she walked toward Dugu Yan with a grin.
"Sister Yanzi, what are you up to? Let's stick together."
Dugu Yan had planned to find Yang Yuan, but seeing Ning Rongrong's cheeky smile, she guessed her intent.
If Ning Rongrong wanted to tag along, she'd make sure she couldn't; she chuckled, "I'm heading back to my dorm for a nice long sleep. Rongrong, surely you're not joining me for that?"
Ning Rongrong sniffed but said, "Perfect, I'm going to my dorm too—let's go together."
She wouldn't let Dugu Yan slip away alone.
Dugu Yan turned to Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, what about you?"
Ye Lingling smiled quietly.
"You two go on; I'm not tired."
"All right," Dugu Yan shrugged.
Soon, Ye Lingling wandered unconsciously to Yang Yuan's usual Cultivation spot.
Her calm face hardly changed as she murmured, "Huh, how did I end up here?"
Ahead, Yang Yuan sat cross-legged in the ancient lush forest, dense energy pouring into him from every direction like rivers into the sea.
Seeing him, Ye Lingling's lips curved in a gentle smile.
