Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

Upon hearing this, all the women showed joy.

With Lin Chuan able to return in time, they are more confident about the upcoming competition.

"By the way, where did you just come from?"

“Yes, we just came back from the Soul Battle in Tianshui City,” Shui Bing’er replied softly, a fighting spirit suddenly appearing in her eyes. “Brother Chuan, it’s been so long, I’d like to spar with you.”

"oh?!"

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting Shui Bing'er to be so direct.

Despite her beauty and cold personality, Shui Bing'er is extremely competitive as a girl. Coupled with her exceptional talent and hard work, she became the second member of the team, even though she is only older than Lin Chuan.

"If Bing'er wants, I don't mind. Besides, I'm also very curious about how much you've grown since we last met."

Lin Chuan glanced at the group of women, each of them radiating confidence.

Only Shuiyue crossed her arms and gave a coquettish snort, "Don't put on that elder's tone. Xiaochuan, you've been away for so long, you must have had a lot of troubles. Your cultivation must have fallen behind. You might not be a match for us now. You've won so many times, it's time for us to turn the tables and become the masters!"

"Are you so confident?"

Lin Chuan chuckled, his expression quite strange, but he still nodded, "Then let me see for myself!"

"Hmph, this time we'll defeat you and make you the real Xiao Chuan!"

Shuiyue shook her fist, her tone full of confidence.

The girl was clearly quite dissatisfied with Lin Chuan being ranked first.

The editor messaged me saying that it should be available tomorrow, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Chapter 75 Dugu Yan Transfers Schools

Shuiyue'er took the lead, clearly eager to go.

It seems that this girl is somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Chuan becoming the team's recognized leader.

"Let's go then, to the Soul Battle Arena on Flying Frost Mountain."

Lin Chuan nodded immediately.

The group walked together toward Flying Frost Mountain.

"Lin Chuan, it's been a long time."

Along the way, a tall figure suddenly came up and greeted them with a smile.

Lin Chuan turned his head, looking surprised. "So it's Miss Dugu. Long time no see. What are you doing here? And what's with your clothes..."

Dugu Yan was wearing a blue school uniform from Tianshui Academy. With her slender waist and long legs, she looked incredibly energetic.

Unlike the previous two times they met, Dugu Yan's hair color had completely changed.

The deep purple hair had faded and turned completely black, and even the emerald-like pupils had turned brown.

Judging from this, the effects of clearing the deadly poison from the body are quite remarkable.

If purple hair carries an eerie beauty, then Dugu Yan now has a touch of fresh and innocent charm.

Seeing Lin Chuan's gaze linger on her, Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "I've transferred from Tiandou Royal Academy to Tianshui Academy, and I'm currently a member of the Tianshui Team. How do I look in this outfit?"

After speaking, the girl even spun around, confidently showing off her figure.

As she turned, the hem of her skirt fluttered slightly, creating a gust of wind.

'That old poisoner!'

Lin Chuan muttered to himself silently, but on the surface, he smiled and nodded, "I see. She is indeed very beautiful. Also, welcome to the team, Miss Dugu."

Having received the answer she wanted, Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes lit up, and her mood instantly became even more joyful.

The girl chuckled, "Don't call me Miss Dugu, it feels awkward. If it weren't for you, my grandfather and I might be finished. Thank you for saving my life. From now on, you can call me Yanzi, or Sister Yan is fine too."

Good grief, he starts trying to take advantage of others without warning.

How could Lin Chuan possibly agree to that?

"In that case, I'll call you Yanzi from now on."

"Alright, then I'll call you Xiao Chuan." Although it was a little different from what she had expected, Dugu Yan nodded and a smile appeared on her pretty face. "From now on, we'll be classmates, so please take good care of me."

The two chatted casually, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

However, Lin Chuan still managed to glean some clues from Dugu Yan's body language and expressions.

He was staying at the Tiandou Royal Academy, but then he suddenly transferred to Tianshui Academy. It must have been that old guy Dugu Bo's idea.

But now it seems that Dugu Yan is not opposed.

Given his enthusiastic behavior, Dugu Bo must have said something.

Recalling that Dugu Bo had mentioned more than once that he wanted to bring him and his granddaughter together, Lin Chuan suddenly understood.

This old guy is serious, he really has his eye on him!

Why do all these people like to introduce beautiful young women of marriageable age? Shui Lanxin was like that, and now Dugu Bo is doing it too. Is this the style of Douluo Continent?

Just as Lin Chuan was silently complaining to himself, the eyes of everyone around him fell on him and Dugu Yan.

Especially Shuiyue'er, whose eyes were filled with sorrow and grievance at this moment.

"Hmph, what a scoundrel! He finally comes back after all this time, and he's already hooking up with another vixen! I'm so angry!"

His childish tone immediately made others laugh.

Xuewu laughed and teased, "Yue'er, don't give up! Although Yanzi is very pretty, you're not bad either. Besides, you met Brother Chuan before her, so you have an advantage. Keep it up, we all believe in you."

"That's right, Yue'er, keep it up! I believe you can definitely win over Brother Chuan!"

The other girls couldn't help but whisper and cheer.

As partners who spend every day together, they know Shuiyue'er's personality very well, and they also know the girl's unusual feelings for Lin Chuan. Of course, they are willing to see the two of them get together.

Now that another person has joined, that's... even better!

Ultimately, Xuewu and her friends are just people who enjoy watching the fun and never mind making things worse.

"Hmph, you guys are all about making sarcastic remarks!"

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but glare at them, but this only earned her a more smug smile from the group of girls.

Seeing this, the girl became even angrier.

"Bing'er, look at them!"

"Alright, Xuewu was just joking with you," Shui Bing'er said with a slightly helpless expression. She had never been able to do anything about her childish half-sister.

Seeing that even her younger sister wasn't helping her, Shuiyue puffed out her cheeks, looking just like a hamster.

The girl's eyes darted around, and suddenly she thought of something. With a mischievous grin, she leaned close to Shui Bing'er's ear and whispered a few words.

"Pah, what are you saying?!" Shui Bing'er's cheeks instantly turned red. Even though she usually had a very good temper, she couldn't help but reach out and tap Shui Yue'er on the forehead.

Despite the pain, Shuiyue'er remained unrepentant.

"I didn't say anything wrong. Aren't Mother and Auntie the same way? Besides, Xiao Chuan is not only talented and good-looking, but he also has a good personality. Even Aunt Xin agrees. Bing'er, aren't you tempted? If the two of us sisters take the lead, won't it be a piece of cake?"

Shui Bing'er: "..."

Can that be the same?

Their mothers were just best friends, but they were biological sisters. They're completely different!

As expected, my stupid older sister is hopeless!

"Don't drag me into your infatuation."

Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but secretly spit out her own words. However, her gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Chuan, her eyes sparkling as if she were thinking about something.

The commotion behind her wasn't loud, but Dugu Yan, who was talking to Lin Chuan, glanced back and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

It seems that outstanding people are popular everywhere.

However, how could a lovesick girl who can't keep a secret and a proud and aloof girl who says one thing but means another possibly be a match for her?

This time, the advantage is on my side!

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan's smile became even brighter.

However, Lin Chuan's expression grew increasingly strange.

He clearly captured many emotions: Shui Bing'er's panic, Shui Yue'er's dissatisfaction, Xue Wu's excitement, and Dugu Yan's smugness beside him.

'This is so troublesome...'

Lin Chuan sighed inwardly, feeling quite troubled.

Being able to keenly perceive other people's emotional changes is sometimes not a good thing.
