To the side, Dugu Yan let out a charming laugh.
"Rongrong, I see that Dai Mubai's talent isn't weak; he's even a bit stronger than Yu Tianheng. Plus, he's handsome and so devoted to you. Won't you consider him?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Dugu Yan and then gave a "pah" of disdain.
"Him? Devoted?"
"Does he really think his little scheme can be hidden from me?"
"Does he truly believe I don't know the White Tiger Spirit is the symbol of the Star Luo Empire's imperial family?"
"The reason he keeps pestering me is simply because he's eyeing the strength of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, wanting to use it to seize the next Star Luo throne, isn't it?"
Ning Rongrong sneered, having seen through Dai Mubai's intentions perfectly.
One must know, she was no longer that "ignorant" little witch from the original story.
At Heaven Dou Academy, she had received a systematic education, so naturally, she wasn't completely ignorant of the common knowledge in the Spirit Master's world.
Therefore, from the moment she saw Dai Mubai release his Spirit at the Suotuo CityGreat Spirit Arena back then, she had already recognized his identity.
Just as her use of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would allow others to recognize her identity as well.
And besides Dai Mubai, she also knew Zhu Zhuqing's identity clearly.
Dai Mubai was ignoring his own fiancée and instead setting his sights on her.
At this point, how could Ning Rongrong not guess the little scheme in his heart?
Yang Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise and teased with a smile.
"Not bad, Rongrong. You actually have a brain like that. I underestimated you."
"E-he-he-he!"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately burst into a laugh that sounded like a goose.
Even the habitually quiet and silent Ye Lingling had the corners of her lips curl up in a slight, subtle arc.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, went "wa-ah-ah" in frustration, turning around and lunging at Yang Yuan, scratching and clawing at him.
"Yang Yuan, how dare you say that about me! I'm going to kill you!"
After a while, Ning Rongrong still had no intention of stopping, her head buried in Yang Yuan's chest, rooting around like a little pig.
The three people present immediately sensed something was wrong.
Dugu Yan's face darkened as she looked at Ning Rongrong crossly.
"Fine, so this is what you were waiting for?"
After saying that, she reached out and pulled Ning Rongrong out of Yang Yuan's arms.
A look of regret flashed in the latter's eyes, but when she looked at Dugu Yan's annoyed face, she immediately showed a triumphant expression.
Hehe, didn't expect that, did you!
Not to mention, doing this right in front of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling was truly quite thrilling!
Yang Yuan watched the scene with interest, opening his arms toward Ning Rongrong as if to stir up trouble, and teased with a chuckle.
"Rongrong, if you want a hug, just hug. There's no need for all those fancy tricks. Come, I'll let you hug to your heart's content."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree, but a seductive voice full of threat suddenly rang out from the side.
"You dare!"
For a time, the sound of cheerful frolicking echoed in the courtyard... As time passed, since the Shrek teachers and students had left, Heaven Dou Academy had returned to its normal routine, and nothing unusual had happened for the next few months.
At the same time, the start of the Soul Master Tournament drew closer and closer, with only half a year left.
However, during this period, the strength of everyone in Heaven Dou Class One had also undergone a leap under Yang Yuan's guidance.
First was the original Huang Dou Battle Team; except for Ning Rongrong, who had only advanced to Rank 34, all other members had been promoted to Spirit Ancestors.
Among them, Dugu Yan had even broken through Rank 50 and, with Dugu Bo's help, obtained her fifth spirit ring, becoming a Spirit King in one fell swoop.
As for Yang Yuan himself, he had already reached Rank 69.
Before the Soul Master Tournament began, he would surely be able to break through Rank 70.
The training grounds.
All the students of Heaven Dou Class One gathered here, with Yang Yuan standing in front of them.
Yu Feng said with a beaming face, "Class Monitor, what orders do you have for calling everyone over?"
Everyone also looked at Yang Yuan with curiosity.
Yang Yuan smiled casually and said, "It's nothing major. It's just that the Soul Master Tournament starts in half a year, and the Three Committee Members asked me to divide the teams."
"You should know that our Heaven Dou Academy can have two teams. The Main Team is directly seeded into the finals, while the Vice Team has to play in the regional qualifiers and the promotion matches."
"Anyway, the final championship is destined to be our Heaven Dou Academy's. As for the process, the important thing is to participate, so you guys decide for yourselves."
"I'll give you ten minutes to give me a plan on who wants to go to the Main Team and who wants to go to the Vice Team. I have only one requirement: let this Soul Master Tournament become an internal battle for our Heaven Dou Academy."
Yang Yuan's confidence made the members of Class One cheer.
As expected of the Class Monitor they admired; he was just that confident.
Although the Soul Master Tournament hadn't even started yet, the championship position had already been decided in advance.
But thinking about the Class Monitor's strength, if they couldn't even win the championship with him, it would truly be against all reason.
However, their enthusiasm soon faded quite a bit.
Because the Class Monitor had just said it.
What he wanted was for this Soul Master Tournament to become an internal battle for Heaven Dou Academy.
This meant that the Class Monitor hoped the Heaven Dou Vice Team would also break into the final round.
This was no easy task. After all, there were hidden talents in the Soul Master Tournament, especially in the Spirit Hall, where prodigies emerged in large numbers.
Without Yang Yuan leading them, no team could guarantee a victory over the Spirit Hall Battle Team.
In a short while, a wave of discussion erupted on the training grounds.
Ten minutes later.
After some discussion, Dugu Yan unsurprisingly became the captain of the Heaven Dou Vice Team.
Because Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan couldn't be on the same team.
Otherwise, relying solely on the strength of the others, they would be far from reaching the level of standing above all others.
As for the other members of the Heaven Dou Vice Team, they were Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, and Osler, with Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran as substitutes.
In this lineup, Ye Lingling was Rank 45, the two brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo had reached Rank 43 in spirit power, and Yu Feng was also at Rank 41 and could fly.
Although Ning Rongrong was only at Rank 34, as a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile PagodaSpirit user, her role was immense.
Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were weaker, one at Rank 32 and the other at Rank 33, so they could only serve as substitutes.
The members of the Heaven Dou Main Team where Yang Yuan was located were as follows:
Shi Yue, Rank 37 Spirit Elder, Spirit: Earth-Shaking Stone Bear.
Yun Luo, Rank 37 Spirit Elder, Spirit: Green Maple Sword.
Zhang Xian, Rank 36 Spirit Elder, Spirit: Flame Leopard.
Sorece, Rank 36 Spirit Elder, Spirit: Red-Striped Tiger.
Lin Beixing, Rank 36 Spirit Elder, Spirit: Vajra Ape.
Wang Yang, Rank 36 Spirit Elder, Spirit: Fiery Wolf.
Yang Yuan also brought six teammates, or more accurately, six passerby "attachments."
Because everyone knew in their hearts that as long as Yang Yuan was there, even if his teammates were complete novices, he could drag them to become champions.
If it were before, people like Yu Feng and Osler would have definitely vied to be such attachments.
But now, they had become much more indifferent toward this so-called honor.
It wasn't that they weren't interested in honor, but rather that they enjoyed the process of obtaining it more.
