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

"Look! It's Senior Hu Liena!"

"Good heavens, what brings Senior Hu Liena to the academy today? Isn't she always training by His Holiness the Pope's side?"

"As expected of our Spirit Hall's future Holy Maiden, she's so beautiful, and that figure... ugh..."

"Keep your voice down, you little brat! Do you want to get yourself killed?! How dare you talk about Senior Hu Liena like that?"

In an instant, the students on both sides of the road stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed on Hu Liena with fervor and awe.

She is the goddess in the hearts of all the students of Wuhun Academy, the goal they pursue and look up to.

However, soon, someone noticed that something was wrong.

"Wait! Who's that guy next to Senior Hu Liena?"

"Holy crap! Really! Who's that guy? He's pretty handsome... wait, the important thing is, why is he so close to Senior Hu Liena?!"

"The two of them... walking side by side? Am I seeing things? Before, let alone walking side by side, any guy who dared to get within three meters of Senior Hu Liena would have his legs broken by Brother Yan, right?"

The crowd erupted in chaos.

Countless gazes, filled with doubt and jealousy, focused on Lin Ye.

Lin Ye seemed oblivious to these stares and continued walking with an air of composure.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people and tugged at Lin Ye's sleeve.

Hu Liena was clearly used to being the center of attention. She kept her eyes straight ahead and led the two of them directly toward the student dormitory area.

However, she clearly underestimated the impulses and possessiveness of some people.

"Nana!"

A furious, thunderous voice suddenly rang out from the crowd ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd automatically parted to both sides.

A tall, robust young man with short, fiery red hair strode over.

He exuded a fiery and domineering aura.

"It's Senior Yan!"

"Senior Yan is here! This is going to be interesting!"

The newcomer was Yan, another core member of the Golden Generation and a powerhouse who consistently ranked second on the Martial Soul Academy's leaderboard!

Upon seeing the newcomer, the surrounding students immediately became excited and quickly made way for him.

Everyone knows that Yan, a member of the golden generation, has been pursuing Hu Liena relentlessly.

Seeing a handsome stranger getting so close to your goddess, it's no wonder you'd be furious.

Yan's gaze immediately locked onto Lin Ye, who was walking side by side with Hu Liena.

Those eyes were filled with undisguised hostility and anger.

"Nana, who is he?"

Yan ignored Lin Ye and walked up to Hu Liena, his tone questioning.

Hu Liena frowned unhappily when she saw Yan.

"Yan, watch your tone. Also, do I need to report to you when I come to the academy?" she said coldly.

"Nana, that's not what I meant!"

Yan's tone softened, but her gaze remained fixed on Lin Ye.

"I just want to know, who is this pretty boy? And why is he getting so close to you?"

pretty boy?

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Hu Liena's expression had already turned completely cold.

"Yan! Show me some respect!"

Hu Liena's voice suddenly rose, tinged with anger.

"He's my junior brother, Lin Ye! He's also the second disciple our master just accepted as a personal disciple!"

What?!

Junior brother?

The teacher's second personally instructed disciple?!

Yan's anger froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He stared intently at Lin Ye, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

This kid?

Aside from being handsome and having a good physique, he's just so-so!

His soul power fluctuations only seem to be around level 30. How could he possibly become the teacher's personal disciple?

How much effort did He Yan put in to catch up with Hu Liena and to gain the favor of His Holiness the Pope?

They trained relentlessly day and night, honing their skills on the brink of life and death, which is how they achieved their current status as a golden generation.

But in the end, the teacher took in such a seemingly weak and frail pretty boy as his disciple?

A strong sense of resentment and jealousy instantly welled up in Yan's heart.

He felt that his dignity and all his hard work had been trampled underfoot.

No, not possible!

There must be something wrong here!

His Holiness the Pope must have made a mistake!

"Did I hear that right? That kid is His Holiness the Pope's newly accepted disciple?"

"Really? I just heard this morning that His Holiness the Pope was going to take on another disciple, and it turns out it's him?"

"They don't look that great, their soul power doesn't even seem as high as mine..."

"Exactly, compared to Brother Yan, he's nowhere near as imposing. How could His Holiness the Pope accept someone like that?"

The various doubts and discussions reached Yan's ears, making the anger in his heart burn even more fiercely.

Correct!

That's what everyone thinks!

This kid must have gotten incredibly lucky, or he must have used some underhanded methods to gain the teacher's trust!

I must expose him!

We must let Hu Liena, and everyone else, see that this guy named Lin Ye is nothing but a good-for-nothing who is all show and no substance!

Thinking of this, the doubt and jealousy in Yan's eyes gradually turned into a strong fighting spirit and confidence.

He took a step forward and stood directly in front of Lin Ye, looking down at him with a superior posture.

"You're Lin Ye?"
