Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

"That's where the true strength of the Spirit Hall resides. Every single one of them is a Super Douluo of level 95 or above, and they never show themselves under normal circumstances. The Grand Elder, in particular, is known as an invincible level 99 Peerless Douluo in the sky."

At this point, she deliberately stopped and turned to look at Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes extremely solemn.

"I'm warning you, unless it's something extremely serious, never go near the Hall of Worship, and don't provoke anyone inside. Otherwise, even your teacher can't protect you."

Zhu Zhuqing was startled by her serious tone and instinctively moved closer to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was making plans.

The offering hall is filled with a thousand streams. It seems we'll have many opportunities to interact with each other in the future.

"Thank you for reminding us, Senior Sister. We've got it." Lin Ye nodded in response.

Seeing that his attitude was fairly proper, Hu Liena's expression softened slightly, and she continued to lead them forward.

After crossing a wide-open square, they arrived at a rather exquisite and elegant detached house.

"This is the exclusive accommodation area for direct disciples."

Hu Liena stopped and pointed to the attic in front of her, saying...

"There are currently only two of His Holiness the Pope's direct disciples: you and me."

As she spoke, she pushed open the attic door.

"This building will be your residence from now on."

Lin Ye entered the attic and found that although the furnishings were not as luxurious as those of the carriage,

But it also exudes understated elegance, with a complete set of training rooms, reception rooms, and bedrooms.

Hu Liena pointed upstairs.

"Your room is the first one on the left on the second floor. I live next door to you."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and added:

"If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me anytime. Of course, that is, provided I am available."

That arrogant streak came back.

Lin Ye smiled, but before he could speak, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been following behind him, couldn't help but speak up.

Looking at this pavilion, which was clearly prepared only for her direct disciples, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unease and loss.

"Then... then where is my room?"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was very soft, with a hint of nervousness.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing as if she had just noticed her presence, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

"you?"

She simply raised an eyebrow.

"This is the accommodation area for direct disciples. Since you are not a direct disciple of the teacher, your room will naturally be in the Martial Soul Academy."

Ah!

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

Her room... wasn't with Lin Ye?

A huge sense of loss instantly overwhelmed her.

She's going to that Martial Soul Academy alone? And living separately from Lin Ye?

Zhu Zhuqing's face immediately turned pale.

Ever since the Star Dou Great Forest, she has always been by Lin Ye's side, and has gotten used to seeing him whenever she looks up.

Especially after experiencing the terrifying oppression brought by Bibi Dong last night, and the feeling of being bullied and protected by Lin Ye in the carriage, her dependence on Lin Ye has reached its peak.

Now, suddenly being asked to go to a completely unfamiliar place alone, she panicked instantly.

Lin Ye looked at Zhu Zhuqing's distraught appearance, with her eyes almost red, and felt both annoyed and amused.

This girl is far too dependent.

He deliberately leaned closer and whispered teasingly:

"Hey, big kitty, what's wrong? Are you so sad that the accommodation area isn't with me? Are you missing me?"

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing's disappointment and grievances instantly turned into shame and anger.

She suddenly raised her head, glared fiercely at Lin Ye, and stubbornly said:

"Who...who's sad! Stop being so narcissistic! I...I just think the Martial Soul Academy is definitely not as good as here!"

"Yeah?"

Lin Ye grinned mischievously.

Hu Liena watched the interaction between the two from the side, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Zhu Zhuqing, she could still see that the girl was dependent on Lin Ye.

However, she has no interest in being a confidante.

"Alright, stop being so lovey-dovey."

Huliena impatiently interrupted them.

"I'll take her to the academy to settle her in first. You can do as you please."

"Wait, senior sister."

Lin Ye suddenly called out to her,

"I'm free anyway, let's go together. I'd also like to ask Senior Sister, what kind of place is this Martial Soul Academy?"

Hu Liena glanced at him and thought to herself that this guy wasn't entirely heartless.

"The Spirit Academy is located inside the Spirit Hall and is where the Spirit Hall trains its reserve forces."

She explained as she led the two down the mountain.

"Those who can enter the academy are all geniuses selected from various branch halls across the continent, and each one of them is proud and arrogant. The competition within the academy is extremely brutal, and everything depends on strength."

"Strength?" Lin Ye became interested.

"That's right."

Hu Liena's tone carried a hint of superiority, as if she had been there before.

"The academy will create a ranking list based on each student's overall abilities."

"Only those who break into the top ten of the list are qualified to receive key resources from the Spirit Hall, such as the right to use high-level simulated training grounds, and may even receive personal guidance from the elders."

"The top ten..." Lin Ye mused.

That sounds like a good place to level up.

Hu Liena watched him pondering, her eyes becoming playful.

"What's wrong, junior brother? You have an idea now?"

She stopped and turned around, her alluring fox-like eyes staring intently at Lin Ye.

"I advise you not to underestimate those guys in the academy. Although they may not be as talented as you, they are all ruthless characters who have fought their way up in brutal competition, and they have a wealth of practical experience."

"Especially those top three, they are monsters among monsters. Even I, at the same level, wouldn't dare say I could beat them without a doubt."

Hu Liena's tone carried a hint of warning, but more than that, it was a provocative look of anticipation.

"Who are the top three?" Lin Ye asked curiously.

"First is my brother Xie Yue, second is Yan, and third is me."

She was eager to see this monstrous junior brother, on whom the teacher placed high hopes and who possessed the third ring of immortality.

Just how much of a ripple can be made in that meat grinder teeming with geniuses?

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lin Ye understood the meaning behind her words, and instead of being afraid, he laughed.

"Then I really can't wait."

Seeing his confident, even somewhat eager, expression, Hu Liena raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is this guy genuinely confident, or just arrogant and conceited?

After passing through several wide roads paved with white jade, the vibrant noise of the Martial Soul Academy could be heard from afar.

Unlike the solemnity of the Papal Palace area, this place is more like a huge Soul Master training camp, where young Soul Masters in uniform can be seen coming and going everywhere.

They exchanged their cultivation experiences in small groups.

They hurried to different training grounds, each with a face radiating the confidence and arrogance of a genius.

When Hu Liena appeared on the main road of the academy with Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
