Chapter 31: Meeting an Acquaintance Again, I Am Tang San, Please Give Me Some Guidance, Senior

Qin Ming, walking in front, seemed to have heard their conversation; he turned his head to glance at Tang San, a flash of appreciation appearing in his eyes. He smiled and said, "This junior student is right, but the students of Tiandou Royal Academy are divided into three grades: Heaven-Minor, Heaven-Major, and Heaven-Dou. The few you encountered just now were merely the weakest Heaven-Minor grade; most of these students come from the nobility of the empire and its affiliated kingdoms."

The group nodded; they did not look down on the students of Tiandou Royal Academy, as they had, after all, already sparred with the strength of that Imperial Fighting Team.

And while passing by a giant boulder in the academy, they saw a person standing on top of it.

That person's temperament was completely different from ordinary people; he wore a white robe, his appearance was handsome, as if unstained by dust, and his whole being radiated an otherworldly aura.

"That person... so handsome!" Xiao Wu in the group had a lovestruck look on her face, and she also felt this person was very familiar.

And Ning Rongrong stopped in her tracks, looking at that person with an expression of disbelief...

As for the others, they also had to admit that this guy was indeed very handsome.

"What's wrong, Rongrong?" Oscar suddenly saw Ning Rongrong stop; to avoid falling behind, he hurriedly reminded her.

Ning Rongrong came back to her senses and shook her head, but when she looked at that person again, there was nothing there...

"Where is that person?"

She immediately asked urgently.

But Oscar's voice just now had caused everyone to turn their heads to look at Ning Rongrong, and they had no idea where the person on the giant boulder had gone.

"What person?" Dean Flender adjusted his glasses.

"The person who was just standing on the giant boulder, the very handsome one."

Ning Rongrong spoke at a rapid pace; it seemed she hadn't seen that person for six years.

At that time, it was indeed her own willfulness that caused Jian Yeye to lose an arm; after that, she had reflected deeply for a long time, only wanting to apologize to him in person.

"Oh, oh, I saw him too." Xiao Wu chimed in from the side, continuing, "But I also feel that guy is very familiar; it seems I've seen him before."

"We saw him too." Dai Mubai and Tang San nodded.

In fact, everyone had seen him, but they hadn't expected this academy to have such a brilliant and talented person.

"Alright, since the person is no longer there, we'll talk about it later."

Dean Flender spoke; he would not let such a small matter delay important business.

And Qin Ming, walking in front, seemed to recall something...

Could it be him?

That person left six years ago, and after that, he himself took over the Imperial Fighting Team; could he have suddenly returned?

Forget it, no point in thinking so much.

The group continued to follow Qin Ming toward the Committee Member's office, but the minds of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were clearly already stirred by the mysterious white-robed man from just now.

Especially Ning Rongrong; in her mind, the scene from six years ago kept surfacing—Sword Douluo losing a right arm to save her.

"I sever an arm of yours today; take care of yourself!"

"Rongrong, are you alright?" Seeing Ning Rongrong looking dazed, Oscar couldn't help but ask with concern.

Ning Rongrong shook her head and managed to squeeze out a smile: "I'm fine, it's just... that person just now reminded me of some past events."

Xiao Wu also leaned over and whispered: "Rongrong, do you know that person? I also feel he's a bit familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him for a moment."

Ning Rongrong was silent for a moment and said softly: "Six years ago, because of my willfulness, Jian Yeye fought a battle with him and lost an arm. At that time, that person's strength was unfathomable; even Jian Yeye and Father working together were no match for him. Later, I never saw him again; I didn't expect to see him here today."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt somewhat panicked.

Even Sword Douluo was no match for that person, which means the other party must be a Title Douluo, then my identity...

Ning Rongrong also noticed that Xiao Wu's state was not right, and thinking it was because of herself, she took Xiao Wu's hand to comfort her.

"Alright Xiao Wu, I'm fine, let's hurry and catch up with the group."

Xiao Wu nodded tremblingly, a flash of panic appearing in her eyes.

The two soon returned to the group.

Meanwhile.

At the top of a high tower somewhere in Tiandou Royal Academy, the figure of Zhexian appeared again. He stood on the tower top, overlooking the entire academy, his gaze deep and distant.

"Six years, I didn't expect to see her here again." Zhexian whispered to himself, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, revealing a faint smile.

His gaze landed on the Shrek Academy group walking toward the Committee Member's office in the distance, lingering on Ning Rongrong for a moment.

The little girl from six years ago; because of her own willfulness, I had that sword-wielding Douluo lose an arm.

"The little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has grown quite a bit." Zhexian said softly, then turned and disappeared from the tower top.

The group from Shrek Academy finally arrived at the Committee Member's office.

The three Committee Members had been waiting for a long time; seeing Flender and the others arrive, Meng Shenji stood up with a smile to welcome them: "Dean Flender, welcome to Tiandou Royal Academy."

Flender hurriedly cupped his hands in return and said with a smile: "Committee Member Meng is too kind; it is our honor that Shrek Academy has the opportunity to exchange with Tiandou Royal Academy."

"Everyone, no need for formalities, please come in."

Committee Member Meng Shenji made a gesture of invitation.

The group followed Meng Shenji into the Committee Member's office; the spacious hall was decorated quite elegantly, with portraits of precious Soul Beasts hanging on the surrounding walls, and soft carpets laid on the floor, appearing both solemn and warm.

Meng Shenji smiled and said to Flender: "Dean Flender, although Shrek Academy is located in a remote area, the students you cultivate are all geniuses; it is truly admirable."

Flender hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "Committee Member Meng overpraises; Shrek Academy is just a small operation, how could it compare to the profound foundation of Tiandou Royal Academy."

Meng Shenji smiled and didn't say anything more, instead turning to look at the Shrek Academy group, his gaze lingering on Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others for a moment, a flash of approval appearing in his eyes.

"I heard your academy has a genius of the control system; I wonder which one it is?" Meng Shenji asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Flender turned to look at Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Grandmaster nodded slightly and then said to Tang San: "Xiao San, come here."

Tang San stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the three Committee Members: "Junior Tang San, greets the three Committee Members."

Meng Shenji nodded, his gaze carrying a bit of appreciation: "Truly a talent. I heard your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, yet you can cultivate to such a realm; it is truly rare."

Tang San smiled slightly and said humbly: "Thank you for the praise, Committee Member Meng; the junior was just lucky."

Meng Shenji smiled and then looked at Committee Member Zhilin to the side: "Zhilin, haven't you always wanted to witness a genius of the control system? Why don't you try testing the strength of this young friend?"

Zhilin nodded and stepped forward. His martial soul is the Azure Vine, a control-system rank 83, eight-ring tool Spirit Douluo, and his strength is extremely formidable. He looked at Tang San and said with a smile, "Young friend, there is no need to be nervous; I only wish to test your limits."

Tang San nodded, his expression calm: "I am Tang San, please enlighten me, Senior."
