Chapter 42: Planning for the Imperial Fighting Team

Nan Feihuang and Xue Ke strolled for about half an hour, chatting as they wandered.

In just a short while, Xue Ke deepened her understanding of Nan Feihuang and developed even more of a favorable impression of him.

Perhaps such a favorable impression would not have been so easily formed, but Xue Ke's own intention now was to strive to truly fall in love with Nan Feihuang, so she subconsciously magnified his merits in her heart.

Soon, the two arrived at their final stop: the entrance to the dormitory.

The dormitories of the Noble Academy were also incomparably luxurious, especially for someone with a special status like Nan Feihuang, who basically had a room to himself.

After all, there were not many students in the entire academy, and such a large dormitory area could easily accommodate them all.

"Brother Feihuang, then please rest early today; I will come to see you again tomorrow." Xue Ke performed a noble salute and then took her leave.

"Very well, many thanks to Your Highness the Princess today. Please walk slowly, Princess." Nan Feihuang saw Xue Ke off and walked into the dormitory. Xue Ke had just told him that his room was personally arranged by her in advance; it was on the third floor, facing south, the best room, sunny, clean, and tidy.

Pushing open the dormitory door, the interior was indeed decorated very luxuriously. Although not too large, it had a lot of style, with a rich European flair, which he assumed was also arranged by Xue Ke.

"Oh, my Lord, you have returned." At this moment, a voice sounded at the door; it was none other than Xun Yu. His room was next door, and hearing the sound of the door opening, he knew it was Nan Feihuang who had returned.

"Wenruo, from now on, while we are here, I think it is better not to call me 'my Lord' to avoid causing suspicion. You may just call me Feihuang," Nan Feihuang said.

Xun Yu rejected this, "To address you by your given name is disrespectful. Then I shall call you 'Your Highness'. After all, you are originally the Crown Prince of the Gu Lei Kingdom, and I was originally a slave who was granted citizenship by you. Calling you 'Your Highness' will at least not arouse suspicion."

In this regard, Xun Yu was stubbornly persistent.

'My Lord' represented that Xun Yu served Nan Feihuang as his master, which would inevitably lead people to notice Nan Feihuang's ambitions. For the sake of the future, he could temporarily stop using that, but 'Your Highness' was fine, because Nan Feihuang was indeed a Highness.

After all, he was a loyal official of the Han Dynasty who dared to stand up to Cao Cao for the sake of the Han, and was eventually killed by Cao Cao with a box of fruit and the order: "There is no fruit in the box, please cut yourself." To let him address his master by his given name was something he could not do; he was not Sima Zhao.

"Fine, whatever you wish." Nan Feihuang understood Xun Yu's loyalty. This world did not have a Han Dynasty, so his loyalty would only be given to him.

For such a person, Nan Feihuang was absolutely the most at ease.

"Your Highness, our purpose in coming to the Heaven Dou Empire this time is ostensibly to have you befriend the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and cultivate feelings with your fiancée, Princess Xue Ke, but in reality, it is for the Immortal Herb. Therefore, I have already inquired about the Heaven Dou Royal Academy today. It seems there is no 'Imperial Fighting Team' in the Heaven Dou Academy as you told me before, but the most outstanding Heavenly Ultimate Level seven-man squad currently in the academy is very close to the situation of the Imperial Fighting Team you described. Their captain is a Spirit Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit." Xun Yu had arrived at the academy a step ahead and certainly had not wasted time; the intelligence that needed to be gathered had long since been cleared up.

Nan Feihuang nodded, "Heavenly Ultimate Level? That cannot be wrong; that must be the Imperial Fighting Team."

In the original work, when the Imperial Fighting Team appeared, they were already the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all possessing strength close to that of a Soul Ancestor, and were the best among the Heaven Dou-level teams, which is why they were bestowed the name Imperial Fighting Team by the academy.

And at this period, their levels were certainly not as strong as they were originally; they were still just a Heavenly Ultimate Level team, so it was normal that they could not yet bear the name of the Imperial Fighting Team.

"Wenruo, we must find a way to blend in, get to know that Dugu Yan, and through her, find and befriend Dugu Bo." Nan Feihuang was never just aiming for the Immortal Herb; Dugu Bo himself was also his target.

"Your Highness need not worry; tomorrow someone will introduce us into that team. Do not forget we are exchange students. What Your Highness should consider is how to establish prestige when the time comes. It is rumored that the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family are all arrogant and proud, taking pride in the name of their strongest Beast Spirit. Since we are both still young, if we do not show a little bit of our strength, we might not necessarily be accepted," Xun Yu smiled.

"So that is how it is." Although Nan Feihuang was not as wise as Xun Yu, he understood immediately. He and Xun Yu had come as exchange students.

Since it was an exchange, it was inevitable that they would be taking the places of those two original people.

The Shi Jia Xiong Di were originally the two Defense-Type Soul Masters of the Imperial Fighting Team. With them gone, the Imperial Fighting Team only had five people left, not even qualified to go to the Great Soul Arena for a Team Soul Battle, so they would inevitably need people to fill the gaps.

The people to fill the gaps were, without a doubt, him and Xun Yu.

"Rest assured, Wenruo, I understand." Nan Feihuang nodded, "Very soon, I will let that Yu Tianheng witness the power of my Halberd."

"Hehe, I believe that one day, Your Highness's valor will be able to surpass that of the Ghost God Lv Bu, and even the Overlord Xiang Yu," Xun Yu said respectfully, expressing his trust in Nan Feihuang.

After days of traveling, both were somewhat exhausted, and since it was already late, they entered their rest time early.

The next morning, when the two opened their doors, they found several sets of white school uniforms placed at the entrance; these had been sent by the Three Education Committee Members.

Besides that, there were things like Student Cards.

The technology tree in this place, Douluo Continent, was still somewhat strange. Clearly, there were no high-tech products, yet one could swipe cards to buy things, and there were things similar to old-fashioned computers that could record data.

The two changed into their new uniforms and stepped out of their rooms.

It had to be said that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's uniforms were indeed quite good-looking, and Nan Feihuang looked even more spirited wearing one.

As for Xun Yu, he did not seem to like it much.

"Your Highness looks quite good in it, but I find it does not seem to suit me. I really should be wearing blue," Xun Yu complained.

"Haha, what does that matter? We are only exchange students anyway; once the exchange is over, we will return to the Gu Lei Royal Academy," Nan Feihuang laughed. Their Gu Lei Royal Academy uniforms were indeed blue.

Yesterday was a holiday, so there were not many people at the academy, but today, being a school day, the academy was bustling with noise and excitement.

It was just that the atmosphere was really not very good.

It was clearly a Spirit Master academy, yet it was like a small society; everywhere one could see boys fawning over goddesses, minor nobles currying favor with major nobles, and some even lying on the ground to serve as cushions for their masters.

Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu were both new students, and because the two appeared to have an extraordinary temperament, no blind nobles came to disturb them.

This also suited Nan Feihuang's wishes; he had his own goals for coming here and had no time to play games with these playboys.
