In a corner of Nuoding Academy.
A tall man with a slovenly temperament, wearing a tattered black robe with a hood concealing his face, narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't expect that kid named Yang Yuan would actually join Heaven Dou Academy."
"What a pity. I originally wanted to test him further and have him take Grandmaster as his teacher as well, so he could serve as Little San's right-hand man in the future."
"I didn't expect him to join Heaven Dou Academy after just one trip out."
"No matter, it's just an Eye Martial Soul. Even without him, with his twin spirits, Little San will still be able to shake the continent and restore the glory of the Clear Sky Sect one day."
"However, I can't let Xiao Wu run away next."
"Since Little San is interested in this Xiao Wu, perhaps I can try to make some plans."
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Hao's narrowed eyes, cold and piercing.
On the other side.
Dihun Village.
Since Yang Yuan had replied to Director Su of Nuoding Academy, he naturally wouldn't forget to inform Old Jerry.
After learning that Yang Yuan had joined a top-tier academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, Old Jerry was so happy he couldn't sleep all night.
He told everyone he met, "How did you know my grandson joined Heaven Dou Academy?"
Fearing that others wouldn't know the prestige of Heaven Dou Academy, Old Jerry would always thoughtfully share the description of the academy from Yang Yuan's letter with them.
So now, the whole village knew.
Old Jerry's grandson, Yang Yuan, had made something of himself and would surely become a powerful Spirit Master in the future; everyone was incredibly envious of him... Heaven Dou Academy.
Several days had passed since Yang Yuan joined Heaven Dou Academy.
Over the past few days, the commotion from him dealing with Xue Beng gradually subsided, and in the end, no one came to cause him any trouble.
Even Xue Beng and his followers were ordered to return home and were grounded for three months.
It was said that this matter had even reached Emperor Xue Ye.
Upon learning that Xue Beng had nearly "driven away" a commoner Genius with the potential of a Titled Douluo, Emperor Xue Ye flew into a rage on the spot.
After all, a commoner Genius meant a clean background.
Such geniuses were the most favored by any power.
They were also the easiest to recruit.
If they lost such a Genius because of Xue Beng, Emperor Xue Ye would definitely not let Xue Beng off easily.
Even if Xue Beng was his son.
After all, a powerful Titled Douluo was enough to protect the Empire for hundreds of years.
To compensate Yang Yuan, while punishing Xue Beng, Emperor Xue Ye also specifically ordered someone to deliver one hundred thousand gold coins to his dormitory.
Although it was called an apology gift, there was also the intention of using these one hundred thousand gold coins to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Yang Yuan.
As for the task of recruiting Yang Yuan, Emperor Xue Ye handed it over to Xue Qinghe.
After all, he had learned from the Three Committee Members that Yang Yuan had originally joined Heaven Dou Academy through Xue Qinghe.
Naturally, Yang Yuan wasn't formal about it and accepted the one hundred thousand gold coins in full without any psychological burden.
After all, who would complain about having too much money?
Aside from this matter, Yang Yuan had also completely integrated into life at Heaven Dou Academy over these few days.
Except for Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, he had interacted more or less with the other students of Heavenly Grade Class One.
Additionally, Yang Yuan participated in a practical combat class.
To accommodate him, Teacher Wang specifically arranged for two students who had just reached Rank 25.
Unfortunately, with Yang Yuan's strength, fighting these two was like child's play.
He defeated the two of them with effortless ease.
This was also the first time everyone in Heavenly Grade Class One saw Yang Yuan in action; his powerful combat strength immediately made them compare him with Yu Tianheng.
If Yu Tianheng defeated his opponents with an overwhelming Aura every time,
then Yang Yuan's way of defeating opponents was like an old man playing with a child, appearing relaxed and graceful.
Those eyes of his seemed able to see through all the opponent's weaknesses, even those within Spirit Abilities.
On the training grounds.
This was the second practical combat class Yang Yuan attended.
Everyone was assigned their respective opponents.
Yu Tianheng's opponent was Shi Mo, who possessed the Black TortoiseSpirit.
Shi Mo's Black TortoiseSpirit was considered a top-tier defensive Spirit, and his Spirit Power Level wasn't low either, reaching Rank 27.
Although he was no match for Yu Tianheng, it wouldn't be easy for Yu Tianheng to defeat him head-on.
As for Yang Yuan, the opponent Teacher Wang arranged for him was none other than Dugu Yan.
Teacher Wang said with a smile, "Yang Yuan, you won't blame me for increasing the difficulty for you, will you?"
"It's fine, I like challenging high difficulties."
Yang Yuan shrugged nonchalantly, his face showing not a trace of nervousness.
To him, fighting a Rank 25 Spirit Grandmaster was no different from fighting a Rank 27 Spirit Grandmaster.
Dugu Yan stood opposite Yang Yuan, and seeing the lack of nervousness on his face, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although Yang Yuan had dealt with Xue Beng, which could be considered venting some frustration on her behalf,
his expression and attitude gave her the feeling of being looked down upon.
He says he likes challenging high difficulties, but does he actually think I'm no match for him?
Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, a dangerous light flashing in her slightly narrow green pupils.
She decided to teach this little brother a lesson.
To let him know that there is always someone better out there.
Although he would surpass her sooner or later,
for now, he was still not her match!
Thinking this, Dugu Yan held nothing back and directly released her Spirit.
Two yellow spirit rings instantly spiraled up from beneath her feet.
"Little brother, aren't you going to release your spirit rings yet?"
After her Spirit Possession, fine snake scales immediately appeared on Dugu Yan's fair arms, and her figure became even more enchanting.
Her eerie eyes swept over Yang Yuan, her voice charming yet exuding a sense of danger.
The students of Heavenly Grade Class One who were watching from not far away instinctively shuddered upon hearing Dugu Yan's voice and retreated further.
After all, Dugu Yan's spirit power was poisonous, and they didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan beckoned Dugu Yan with his finger.
"Classmate Dugu, no need to be so polite, just bring it on!"
"You asked for it!"
Seeing Yang Yuan still persisting in his ways, Dugu Yan snorted coldly and waved her hand.
A multi-colored poisonous mist immediately gushed out from her palm.
At the same time, using the multi-colored poisonous mist as cover, Dugu Yan herself lunged toward Yang Yuan like an arrow from a bow.
Yang Yuan stood his ground, and his figure was soon enveloped by the multi-colored poisonous mist.
But he remained unmoved, a chaotic color flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, his body tilted to the right.
Chih!
A slender palm suddenly slashed down past his chest.
Her strike missed, and a look of surprise flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.
Such fast reaction speed.
However, she followed up with another attack toward Yang Yuan.
Within this poisonous mist, any Spirit Master of the same rank without strong Poison Immunity could not possibly be her match.
But gradually, after exchanging over ten moves, Dugu Yan sensed something was wrong.
Why did it seem like Yang Yuan wasn't affected by the Jade Phosphor Serpent poison at all?
"I don't believe your poison resistance can be this strong!"
Dugu Yan grit her teeth, and the two yellow spirit rings at her feet lit up one after another.
First Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Red Poison!
Second Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Blue Poison!
If these two Spirit skills were used on teammates, they could increase their attack and defense.
But if used on enemies, they could enhance the poisoning effect on them.
However, Yang Yuan still appeared to have plenty of strength to spare within the multi-colored poisonous mist.
No matter how Dugu Yan attacked, she couldn't even touch a corner of Yang Yuan's clothes.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Yuan struck out with a palm.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Dugu Yan's body was sent flying backward.
Dugu Yan stumbled as she steadied herself.
But when she saw Yang Yuan walking out of the multi-colored poisonous mist looking refreshed, a look of undeniable shock flashed across her face.
"You... how on earth did you manage to remain unscathed within my Jade Phosphor Serpent poison?"
Yang Yuan smiled faintly, his voice clear.
"My Spirit: Poison Immunity!"
