Chapter 123: Heaven Dou Team

In the first room on the left-hand side, which was the room he had once lived in, Zhou Heng sensed the aura left behind by Dugu Yan when she practiced.

And in the first room on the right-hand side, he sensed a dense aura of life.

Clearly, it was a trace left behind after a Spirit Master with a life attribute had practiced.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and recalled a matter that Dugu Bo had mentioned to him in passing while they were practicing at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well quite some time ago.

"Xiao Heng, I once owed a great favor to the Ye Family of the Nine Heart Begonia.

Ever since Yan Yan started walking with you, those people remaining in the academy have started to disgust that little girl from the Ye Family.

Ye Renxin came to me, wanting his granddaughter to move into the courtyard you used to live in.

Using my reputation to intimidate those fellows, Xiao Heng, what do you think?"

"This isn't a big deal, Grandpa, just agree to it. Anyway, I haven't spent many days in that courtyard."

Zhou Heng, focused on his cultivation, replied casually and then continued to immerse himself in his practice.

"Oh, so it's Ye Lingling." Zhou Heng, having finished his recollection, nodded, understanding the identity of the occupant.

Although he had the heart to enter Dugu Yan's room to wait for her return and give her a surprise.

But since there was another person living in the courtyard, Zhou Heng could not give Dugu Yan a sudden surprise.

After all, one must consider others; he shouldn't frighten Ye Lingling.

Zhou Heng left the courtyard and headed toward the place where the three Education Committee Members usually worked, intending to go and greet them.

As it turned out, upon arriving, he discovered that the place where the three Education Committee Members usually worked was now being handled by a few of their trusted teachers.

After inquiring, he learned that some time ago, something had happened in a city in the Heaven Dou Empire, and Xue Ye had sent several waves of Spirit Masters over, but they had not been able to resolve it, so he had requested the three Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to step in and handle it.

Because this matter involved secrets, even these remaining teachers did not know where the committee members had gone or when they would return.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng stopped pursuing questions about matters that had nothing to do with him.

Instead, he asked where Dugu Yan was now.

Hearing this question, the substitute teacher slowly began to explain to Zhou Heng.

Some time ago, after Dugu Yan returned to the academy, because she was annoyed by Yu Tianheng's pestering, she directly knocked out half of Yu Tianheng's teeth, and then Dugu Bo knocked out the other half of Yu Tianheng's teeth.

Consequently, the humiliated Yu Tianheng dropped out of school and joined that Blue Lightning Academy, which had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon background.

Because the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was only a few years away, the academy was currently selecting the next second team.

After some discussion between the three Education Committee Members, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan became the captain of the second team.

As captain, Dugu Yan was qualified to participate in the selection of team members.

Therefore, during this period, Dugu Yan spent most of her time at the arena, both improving her combat experience and selecting team members she favored from among the registered students.

Given the relationship between Dugu Yan and Zhou Heng, which basically everyone knew, this substitute teacher even took out a list and handed it to Zhou Heng.

"These are the teammates and alternates selected by student Dugu Yan during this period; student Zhou Heng, you can go and discuss them with student Dugu Yan.

Once the three Education Committee Members return, we will finalize the list."

After handing the thick list to Zhou Heng, this bald teacher asked as if in passing.

"Student Zhou Heng, having been away from the school for three years, under the guidance of the Poison Douluo, your soul power must have improved, right?

I don't know what level you are at now; would you like to join our team?"

"I am currently level fifty-three." Chen Ming hid seventeen levels of his soul power in one breath, but the level he stated still caused everyone in the room to raise their heads in disbelief.

Some teachers with less stable mindsets even tore through the documents they had been writing for who knows how long with their pen tips.

"How much?" The bald teacher, who appeared to be of high standing, couldn't help but raise his voice and ask in disbelief.

"Level fifty-three." Chen Ming released his five soul rings—three purple and two black—and lowered his soul power, making his soul power appear to be at the level of fifty-seven.

"Three-plus years, an increase of sixteen levels?" This teacher clutched his chest, sat down on a stool with a 'thud', and didn't react for a long time.

An increase of sixteen levels in over three years—he had never dreamed in his life that someone could have this kind of cultivation speed!

Could it be that this was the result of the Poison Douluo's guidance?

No, no, no, even the guidance of a Title Douluo could not be this powerful.

It must be that he was overly gifted, which was why he was favored by the Poison Douluo to become his granddaughter's husband, and then, under the guidance of a Title Douluo, he was able to increase sixteen levels in three years, right?

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Heng was immune to ice and fire, he would probably be feeling hot at this moment.

Why?

Because ever since Zhou Heng revealed his level fifty-three soul power, this group of people had been gasping in cold air, and it hadn't stopped for a long time. Seeing this, Zhou Heng shrugged helplessly, said his goodbyes, and left the room.

He walked while looking at the list in his hand.

"Yu Feng, male, martial soul Wind Bell Bird, level 31 Agility Attack System Soul Elder, soul skills: Acceleration, Wind Blade, Violent Wind Wave, combat habits."

"Aosiluo, male, martial soul Ghost Leopard, level 31 Agility Attack System Soul Elder."

"Ye Lingling, female, martial soul Nine Heart Begonia, level 28 Healing System Great Soul Master."

Chen Ming discovered that these main team members selected by Dugu Yan were indeed the official members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team from the original work.

But among them, not only was Yu Tianheng, the captain of the original generations, missing, but the crucial Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers were also missing.

Although the description of the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers was very brief, they were not to be trifled with.

When Yu Tianheng first appeared, his level was 39, Dugu Yan's level was 38, and the soul power of the seemingly inconspicuous Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers was 38 and 37.

Their talent could be said to be quite close to Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng in the original work.

Although the Black Tortoise Turtle was not famous, it was a top-tier martial soul with a quality no less than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

It possessed the pure bloodline of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise, had extremely high defensive capabilities, and might even be the ancestor of the Mysterious Underworld Turtle lineage in the second part of Douluo Continent.

Zhou Heng's return to the academy this time, besides preparing to accompany Dugu Yan.

He was also prepared to study some martial souls he was interested in.

In addition to the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, the Black Tortoise Turtle martial soul was also in Zhou Heng's plan; he wanted to see if he could research the mysteries of the legendary Divine Beast Black Tortoise from it.

The legendary Divine Beast Black Tortoise possessed both offense and defense, represented the Yin and Yang, and was a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

There must be many aspects among them worth his own study.

Between heaven and earth exist the Four Spirits, and these Four Spirits are undoubtedly extremely powerful existences among the god-level.

If he could figure out the mysteries within, it would be of great help toward becoming a god.

The Black Tortoise Turtle is a rare martial soul on the continent that approaches the Four Spirits, and it is even said that among his ancestors there was a Spirit Master whose martial soul transformed into the Divine Beast Black Tortoise; there should be many mysteries within to be unearthed.

But how could these two people just be gone like that?
