Chapter 60, the Little 35 Combination
As soon as Qin Ming conveyed the college's teaching committee's message, the students instantly erupted in a frenzy, with arguments and even team formations breaking out.
Yu Tianheng rested his chin on his hand, watching the group of people scrambling for something unnecessary. Although he hadn't formed a team yet, he wasn't worried at all.
Most of the people around him looked at him with respect and eagerness. Some people finally mustered up the courage to come up and ask Yu Tianheng about forming a team, but after seeing the woman who walked into the classroom, they all gave up the idea.
The woman was dressed in a purple robe, with faint dark green tinges in her light blue hair. She walked slowly toward Yu Tianheng, her high heels clicking on the ground.
I sat down opposite him.
"Yanyan, you're here?"
Dugu Yan nodded, looking at her lover with affection: "Tianheng, it seems you're not very popular. Even now, no one has asked to team up with you."
"Is it that they don't want to, or that they dare not?" Yu Tianheng said with extreme confidence.
"I thought you were going to say that you were waiting for me on purpose," Dugu Yan said, twirling her delicate hand in her hair.
"Yes, if I can't wait for you, who else can I wait for?"
From the moment the two of them started being all lovey-dovey, everyone around them consciously left the classroom. Putting aside whether it was sour or not, although everyone was a student of the academy, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were not people they could afford to offend.
"Then I'll decide who goes first when it comes to forming teams."
"Whatever you say, but the third one should be Ye Lingling, right?"
"Ah, so you wanted Lingling? You should have said so earlier. I invited Yufeng instead."
"The main problem is that if Lingling's martial soul isn't a teammate and appears in someone else's lineup, even a battle soul master like me would have some difficulty dealing with it."
"Besides, if you get injured during a battle between Soul Masters and no healing Soul Master treats you immediately, how am I supposed to explain that to your grandfather?"
Seeing Yu Tianheng's serious expression, Dugu Yan, who had been keeping a straight face, burst out laughing.
"Alright, Tianheng, I was just kidding. The last one I'm looking for is Lingling, here." As he spoke, the other person took out a sign from his sleeve, on which were written the names of the three people.
"I dragged Lingling to register for the team this morning. The team name is 'Hengyan Ling', isn't it nice?"
"That's a really simple and easy-to-understand name." Yu Tianheng nodded. He never asked about these things; he left them to Dugu Yan to worry about.
……
"What? You're charging me 1 gold coin just to change my team name?"
At the registration point for the selection competition at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, a girl with a scorpion-tail braid stood with her hands on her hips, arguing with a student to the side.
A boy taller than the girl smiled obsequiously at his senior while trying to pull the girl away.
"Hey, Xiao San, why are you dragging me away? It's that person who's hard of hearing who made the mistake. What team name did they carve? And they even want to charge me the same price as the registration fee."
"Alright, alright, it's just a misheard 'hears,' let it go. Besides, we're not even sure if we'll get to perform."
The ones speaking were Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had parted ways since Notting City. Compared to a few years ago, the two of them had developed even more. If not mentioned, who would be able to tell that they were just two 13-year-old children?
"But they clearly wanted the 'Xiao Sanwu' team name, look at what that person carved!" Xiao Wu muttered, holding up the sign with the team name engraved on it.
The words "Xiao Sanwu" were hastily and carelessly carved on it with a carving knife. It's no wonder Xiao Wu was upset that she misheard two of the three words.
"That's true, but after all, that senior is just taking over the teacher's job. We should just follow the rules and not make things difficult for him. Let's save this gold soul coin and go to Tiandou City to buy you some good food, okay?"
"Okay, okay, it would be best to walk around a few more times." Xiao Wu's gloom vanished immediately upon hearing about food.
"Xiao Wu, you're just too playful, that's why your soul power cultivation has fallen so far behind." Tang San looked helplessly at the girl who was skipping and hopping forward.
"Little San, do you think Brother Xiao will come back? It's been three years since I last saw him. He said he needed to go to the far north to find a rare soul beast for his soul ring, but there's been no news since. Could he be dead?"
"Xiao Wu, keep your mouth shut. Don't say anything unlucky. Big Brother has unique insights, everything will be alright. He should be back soon."
"It'll be soon, it'll be soon, you say it'll be soon every year."
Tang San was helpless. During his three years at the academy, Xiao Yan had left him and Xiao Wu a large bag of gold soul coins before leaving, so he didn't have to worry too much about money. However, the academy was near Tian Dou City, and the cost of living in this area was not cheap.
In his spare time, he honed his blacksmithing skills by the fire in the blacksmith's shop, while also making more Tang Clan hidden weapons. Xiao Yan's instructions before leaving were simply that the more the better, but he never told him what he intended to do with these Zhuge Crossbows and hidden arrows.
Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique passed down from his father. So, at the beginning, in the blacksmith shop, Tang San, despite his small stature, impressed them with his hammering skills.
During this time, he and Xiao Wu also broke through to the Soul Master realm. Xiao Wu, however, seemed to turn a deaf ear to her elder brother's theories and continued to search for soul rings on her own.
As for himself, he would still use his elder brother's words, but Tang San was not sure whether the third spirit ring he found would be able to win the praise of his elder brother Xiao Yan.
"When my elder brother returns, I will definitely have a showdown with him," Tang San said slowly.
"Little San, you should just give up. Why make a fool of yourself? If Big Brother comes back, even Yu Tianheng from the Tian Dou Class might not be a match for our Brother Xiao."
"It's over." Upon hearing this, Tang San was not the only one who stopped in his tracks; several other students walking ahead also stopped.
Xiao Wu is great in every way, except she's too outspoken. Everyone in the academy is a huge fan of Yu Tianheng. Plus, he's highly likely to become the next head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. Although it's the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, the factions are already quite distinct.
Xiao Wu's words will undoubtedly stir up discontent among a group of people.
"Brother Xiao? Who is that, brother? Have you heard of him?" The person in front stopped and looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu with some disdain.
"No, what kind of savage is he, daring to compare himself to Boss Yu at our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?" Two tall, muscular young men who looked very similar were chatting casually.
"Hey, you two can tolerate this? Since Boss Yu isn't here, shouldn't you two brothers get revenge for him?"
The person who spoke provocatively was named Xue Beng, the most arrogant student in the academy, whom Tang San and Xiao Wu usually avoided at all costs.
Upon hearing this, the twin brothers seemed to be provoked, and as they rubbed their hands together, spirit rings lit up on their bodies.
The surrounding students instantly gave the four of them space, creating a terrain conducive to fighting.
"Graphite, stone mill, Xiao Wu just spoke offhand. What are you trying to do?" Tang San looked at the two brothers with an unfriendly expression.
"Why? Of course, it's to thank you two. If it weren't for you, how could the Heavenly Battle Class have made room for us brothers?"
