"Little Brother Xiao Yuan!"
Just as Yang Yuan returned to the academy, a graceful silhouette came rushing over.
Seeing that Yang Yuan was unharmed, a look of excitement and joy appeared on Dugu Yan's pretty face.
"Sister Dugu!"
Yang Yuan greeted her with a smile and went to meet her.
The surrounding students watched the intimate pair with faces full of envy.
The male students, in particular, wished they could take Yang Yuan's place.
These past few days, Dugu Yan, who had returned from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, could be said to have been in the spotlight.
In just a few short days, she had risen from Rank 27 to Rank 34. Even the Three Committee Members were alarmed by this news, worrying whether Dugu Yan had taken some kind of Banned Drug.
After an explanation and with Dugu Bo's endorsement, the Three Committee Members finally believed Dugu Yan's words.
But it made sense when they thought about it.
How could Dugu Bo possibly allow his precious granddaughter to use a Banned Drug to level up?
Although such a method could allow one's Spirit Power Level to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period, it would also greatly damage one's potential, likely resulting in the loss of any room for further growth.
Dugu Bo could not possibly be so short-sighted.
After confirming that Dugu Yan had not used a Banned Drug to Cultivate, everyone was filled with envy and began to inquire one after another, wanting to know if she had any more of these treasures that could increase one's Rank.
After all, who wouldn't want a treasure that could rapidly increase one's Rank without any side effects?
Dugu Yan's answer was also very blunt.
She said directly, did they really think such treasures were as common as cabbages?
To be lucky enough to encounter one such Spirit Medicine was already a blessing from the heavens.
Although the crowd still harbored doubts about Dugu Yan's words, they had no intention of continuing to press her.
After all, Dugu Yan was not alone.
Standing behind her was a Titled Douluo.
Although Dugu Bo was jokingly called the weakest Titled Douluo, in reality, any Titled Douluo with a background or concerns would be unwilling to provoke him.
Compared to Dugu Yan, the crowd was actually more interested in Yang Yuan.
They heard he had been taken to Dugu Yan's home as a guest, but Dugu Yan had already been back at the academy for three days, and only now had Yang Yuan returned.
Connecting this to Dugu Yan's use of a treasure and her rapid progress in Spirit Power Level.
This naturally led the crowd to suspect whether Yang Yuan, like Dugu Yan, had also consumed some kind of treasure.
In the training ground.
When Yu Tianheng heard people discussing this matter, he immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
When he learned that after Yang Yuan's return, his Spirit Power Level might advance by leaps and bounds like Dugu Yan's and even surpass his own.
An inexplicable, nameless fire of jealousy rose in Yu Tianheng's heart, with nowhere to be vented.
He sat on the training ground, clenched his fists, and slammed them hard against the ground, letting out a low, unwilling sound from his mouth.
"Damn it, why does every good thing fall upon him?"
Yu Tianheng stood up and walked over to the few people discussing the matter, his expression as dark as water.
"What happened next?"
"Did Yang Yuan's spirit power advance by leaps and bounds like Dugu Yan's?"
The people discussing the matter were startled by Yu Tianheng's sudden behavior.
Looking at his dark expression, the person who had just spoken couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and replied stutteringly, "No... no, it's said he is still Rank 25."
Hearing this, Yu Tianheng's heart instantly relaxed.
That's good... that's good!
In truth, he didn't look down on Yang Yuan.
Rather, he was extremely displeased that his own assumptions were repeatedly face-slapped by Yang Yuan.
Initially, he believed that while Yang Yuan's talent for Cultivation was high, he only had an ordinary Spirit and couldn't compare to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon at all, nor could he be his opponent in actual combat.
But Yang Yuan had used his own actions to tell everyone otherwise.
His Eye Martial Soul was not only a top-tier Spirit no less than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but his combat strength was also impeccable.
Even the extremely proud Yu Tianheng actually felt an emotion of wanting to avoid and fear battle when facing Yang Yuan, falling into an extremely contradictory state.
He both wanted to prove he was stronger than Yang Yuan and worried that he would be defeated by him.
Since Yu Tianheng joined Heaven Dou Academy, he had never lost a battle within the same age group.
It was precisely because of this.
That he could not bear being defeated by a kid five years younger than himself.
At the same time, news of Yang Yuan's return to Heaven Dou Academy quickly reached Qian Renxue's ears.
Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, looked at the contents recorded on the envelope, her brows rising slightly.
"Little Brother Yang's Spirit Power Level actually didn't increase?"
"I thought he would also be like Dugu Yan, with his Spirit Power Level advancing by leaps and bounds."
Beside Qian Renxue, Snake Lance Douluo shook his head and said, "Treasures that can increase spirit power without side effects, or even evolve a Spirit, are rare even across the entire continent."
"Dugu Bo and that kid Yang Yuan are neither relatives nor friends. Even if there really were more such treasures, why would he share them with Yang Yuan?"
"That's true, but why did Little Brother Yang stay at Dugu Bo's place for an extra three days?" Qian Renxue mused slightly.
Snake Lance Douluo and the nearby Porcupinefish Douluo both shook their heads.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue had no intention of continuing to delve into the matter.
She smiled faintly and said, "Have someone prepare; I'm going to see this little brother of mine tomorrow."
Hadn't she brought Yang Yuan to Heaven Dou Academy precisely thinking that being close would make it easier to recruit him?
Speaking of which.
Since Yang Yuan joined Heaven Dou Academy, he had not yet met this 'Heaven DouCrown Prince'!
How could that be allowed?
He was her designated member of the 'Crown Princes Faction' after all!
...Heaven Dou Academy.
Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan were strolling through it.
Upon learning that Yang Yuan's Rank actually remained at Rank 25, Dugu Yan's heart was full of confusion.
After Yang Yuan explained, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Initially, she thought Yang Yuan had encountered a problem; otherwise, after causing such a large commotion, how could his Rank remain unchanged?
Unknowingly, the bright moon rose, its light hazy as if a layer of white gauze had been sprinkled over the earth.
Dugu Yan tilted her head and glanced at Yang Yuan.
This little fellow was growing so fast; after not seeing him for three days, he seemed to have grown taller again, not looking like an eight-year-old child at all.
Looking at his clean and handsome profile, Dugu Yan felt an inexplicable sense of gloom in her heart.
If only Little Brother Xiao Yuan's age could be three or four years older, how good that would be.
As soon as this thought arose, two blushes immediately flashed across Dugu Yan's cheeks.
As the two strolled, a crisp and pleasant yet somewhat cold voice came from a distance.
"Sister Dugu!"
Hearing this voice, Dugu Yan suddenly snapped back to her senses.
She looked over.
A young girl wearing a Goose-yellow school uniform, with a thin build and a Black veil over her face, stood not far away, greeting her.
Seeing who it was, Dugu Yan immediately revealed a smile.
"Lingling, it's you!"
Saying so, she walked over with Yang Yuan.
Once they were close, she introduced her to Yang Yuan, "Little Brother Xiao Yuan, this is Ye Lingling, my friend."
After that, she looked at Ye Lingling again and introduced Yang Yuan to her.
"Lingling, he is Yang Yuan; you should have heard his name."
"Hello!"
Ye Lingling nodded slightly toward Yang Yuan.
In Heaven Dou Academy now, there was basically no one who didn't know Yang Yuan.
However, this was her first time seeing Yang Yuan from such a close distance.
He was indeed just like the rumors.
He looked so young; it seemed he really was only eight years old.
It was truly hard to imagine that an eight-year-old child's spirit power was as high as Rank 24.
Unlike her, who was already thirteen years old but had only reached Rank 24 in Spirit Power Level.
