Chapter 215

After returning to the Academy, Tang Wulin ignored the strange glances of the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and hurried toward the inner courtyard.

Speaking of which, last night as soon as he woke up, with Bei Bei's help he found Huo Yutong, then confessed to her, and hadn't yet had a chance to tell anyone else.

"Huh, Wulin?" Seeing him, Xu San Shi was greatly startled, his expression somewhat annoyed, "Why are you only waking up now? Huo Yutong left yesterday."

Tang Wulin said cheerfully, "I know, I was the one who saw her off yesterday, and besides, senior, junior I'm no longer single."

Xu San Shi: "???"

Soon, the remaining five Shi Lai Ke Seven Monsters who stayed at the Academy gathered together again.

Their gathering place was the Tang Sect in Shi Lai Ke City; over the past two years the Tang Sect had grown considerably, and after Mu En's passing, Shi Lai Ke Academy heavily supported the Tang Sect, so now the Tang Sect can be said to be thriving.

Word had it that besides the other four Seven Monsters, some old acquaintances also came after he woke up.

Among them were Xiao Xiao, Cao Jinxuan, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan.

Xiao Xiao and Cao Jinxuan were brought in by Wang Dong, while Jiang Nannan was brought in by her roommate Tang Ya.

To Tang Wulin's surprise, although Jiang Nannan still refused to even look at Xu San Shi, she no longer objected to sharing a room with him, considering that before she wouldn't even want to be in the same space.

At the dinner table, everyone eyed Tang Wulin like tigers, their expressions unfriendly.

Xu San Shi suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"Wulin, you brat, you said you're not single anymore—what do you mean?!"

Tang Wulin said calmly, "Literally speaking, I'm dating Huo Yutong—please take note."

Xu San Shi shed tears of envy.

"You little bastard! I, your third brother, am still single!"

As he said that, he furtively glanced at Jiang Nannan not far away, but Jiang Nannan still kept her usual expression, not even looking at him.

Compared to his deliberate act of playing the victim, everyone else's attitude was much more normal.

Wang Dong clicked his tongue.

"Tch, finally you're dating—have you two lovebirds finally cleared the air?"

For some reason her words sounded a bit sour, and it wasn't clear who she was envying.

Bei Bei gave a light shrug.

"Well, after all, everyone was mentally prepared for this, so it's not really surprising."

Upon hearing that, everyone nodded together.

Indeed, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were stuck together all day, inseparable, and it was obvious they had feelings for each other; in their view, it would be strange if they weren't dating.

Xiao Xiao's face was excited, full of gossip.

"Hey hey, Wulin, who confessed first between you and Huo Yutong?"

Now Tang Wulin felt a bit embarrassed, he scratched his cheek awkwardly and said, "I did the confessing."

"Just a direct confession?"

"Mm."

To force her to agree after a strong kiss—something Tang Wulin really couldn't bring himself to say.

If the security personnel found out about this, they could probably throw him straight into jail.

However, for some reason, upon hearing his words, Xiao Xiao's expression turned somewhat dissatisfied.

"Wulin, how can you not do that? You know, you should be a bit firmer—Huo Yutong likes that."

"...... Ah?"

"What 'ah'? After getting along for so long, you still don't know Huo Yutong's preferences? Honestly, guys really are something."

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and launched into a long-winded lecture.

"Listen up, girls like Huo Yutong with this personality often lack a sense of security, so the most important thing you can do is give her that security. Therefore, no matter how forceful you are emotionally, she might actually enjoy it. Just as I just said about the confession, you should ignore what she says and directly kiss her forcefully, then make her accept your confession—that's more to her liking."

"Is... is that really the case...?"

Tang Wulin shifted his gaze away, feeling somewhat guilty.

He really did learn something. Whether what Xiao Xiao said was true he doesn't know, but after doing that, Huo Yutong indeed accepted his confession.

Even if ninety-nine percent of the reason for the successful confession was their feelings, who knows whether the remaining one percent was due to the method of confession?

Xu San Shi's eyes lit up.

"Xiao Xiao, you understand girls so well—could you also give me some guidance?"

Xiao Xiao snorted.

"Third senior brother, a confession is a victory song, not a charge's bugle call—first accumulate enough goodwill like Wulin and Huo Yutong have, then come ask me."

Xu San Shi's face fell instantly.

"No way—if I could have that level of goodwill, would I still need to ask you?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Although what Xu San Shi said was funny, his words were rough but not lacking in reason—indeed, given Huo Yutong's affection for Tang Wulin, any confession method would succeed.

Zhou Sichen chimed in, "Boss, now that you're dating, when can we drink to your wedding with the big sister-in-law?"

Tang Wulin answered seriously, "Wait until I come of age."

Tang Ya instantly felt a bit bored.

"Huh? That would mean waiting several more years, wouldn't it?"

Bei Bei chuckled and said:

"This is also unavoidable, Wulin—you need to treat Huo Yutong better, did you hear that?"

"Mm, definitely."

Tang Wulin nodded solemnly.

"That'll do." Bei Bei revealed a relieved smile, "By the way, Wulin, do you know what happened these past three months?"

"What?"

"Zhou Sichen and Wang Dong's Inner Court assessment has already begun, while Huo Yutong has already completed the Inner Court assessment and successfully entered the Inner Court."

"Ah?" Tang Wulin asked instinctively: "You guys are all four rings?"

"As members of the Shi Lai Ke Seven Monsters, several of them have the authority to start the Inner Court assessment early."

"But there is a major prerequisite: one must reach the Soul Ancestor realm in cultivation."

"Zhou Sichen nodded."

"En, the energy left by Mu Lao before his death helped us a few reach rank forty, and then we all went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings."

"Wang Dong interjected: 'Right, Tang Wulin, you know, our experience this time was incredible; we encountered a very powerful soul beast.'"

"What soul beast?"

"Tang Wulin asked curiously."

"Given his understanding of Wang Dong, if she says that, then that soul beast may not be extremely strong, but it is certainly very special."

"Wang Dong said mysteriously: 'The name of that soul beast is the Three-Eyed Golden Ni; it is said to be the Imperial Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, possessing multiple extreme attributes, and with ten thousand years of cultivation it can rival a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.'"

"Ah?"

"Tang Wulin asked in surprise:"

"Then how did you guys escape?"

"A hundred-thousand-year-level soul beast is extremely difficult to deal with even for an Honored Douluo; although Huo Yutong is strong, she only has three-ring cultivation, making it utterly impossible for her to oppose it."

"Wang Dong shrugged."

"No need to flee; Xuan Lao is right nearby. As a result, this experience not only did not put us in danger, but actually allowed Huo Yutong to gain a new powerful ability while obtaining her fourth soul ring."

"It is called the Eye of Fate."
