Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 270 The King Returns, See Qing'er Again

Wang Yan's words startled everyone in Class One, and they all followed his gaze toward the window.

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Xiao Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked over almost impatiently, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Then, they saw Lin Yun, wearing the red school uniform of the inner courtyard, with a gentle smile on his face.

Lin Yun smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand to greet Wang Yan.

Lin Yun didn't care that Wang Yan saw him. He hadn't deliberately hidden himself, and Wang Yan, standing above the podium, had the best view. It was perfectly normal for him to see him wearing his conspicuous red school uniform.

"Brother Yun..." Looking at that handsome face with a familiar smile, Xiao Xiao murmured softly, but her voice was filled with intense longing and affection.

Several months have passed since they parted ways after the competition. She has never been separated from Lin Yun for such a long time before. The young girl, deeply in love, misses Lin Yun terribly for a period of time almost every day.

The longing didn't fade with the length of time we were apart; instead, the image in my heart grew deeper with each passing day of recollection.

The intense love in the little girl's eyes made Lin Yun feel as if his heart would stop beating.

He didn't say much, and with a spatial teleportation, he arrived next to Xiao Xiao, sitting close to her on a small chair. Xiao Xiao also took the opportunity to rush into his arms and hug him tightly.

Feeling Xiao Xiao trembling slightly in his arms, Lin Yun's gentle voice carried a hint of doting affection.

"I'm back."

"Mmm...Mmm!" Xiao Xiao nodded gently. She wanted to tell Lin Yun how much she missed him, but she couldn't utter a complete word. She could only hold Lin Yun tighter, as if she wanted to meld herself into his arms.

No one in the class made a sound to disturb Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao's embrace.

Their relationship was no secret; it was common knowledge throughout the entire class, including the entire foreign language department.

During Lin Yun's leave of absence, there were also lower-year freshmen and upper-year students who were attracted to Xiao Xiao's appearance or her talent and wanted to pursue her.

But without exception, these people were persuaded to leave.

The terrifying combat power Lin Yun displayed in the Soul Battle Tournament, and the news that Lin Yun was exceptionally recruited into the Inner Academy ahead of schedule, made them hesitate.

So everyone knows that Xiao Xiao is actually taken.

It's okay for couples who haven't seen each other for months to get close again. They're not saying anything because they're moved by Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao's deep love, not because Lin Yun's iron fist is too hard and their heads aren't hard enough.

Yes, it is like that.

If we were to ask who in the class had the most complicated feelings, it would undoubtedly be Ning Tian, ​​who sat next to Xiao Xiao.

Looking at the two people who were so close yet embracing tightly, Ning Tian's pretty face showed an undisguised envy. She even fantasized that if Lin Yun were embracing her, how wonderful that would be.

As for jealousy, that's definitely not the case. She has a clear understanding of her own position and doesn't put herself on the same level as Lin Yun when thinking about problems. Instead, she always puts Lin Yun first.

This was the price she had to pay for her contact with Lin Yun for personal gain, and it was a lesson she had long been prepared for.

Everyone in the class had their own thoughts, but Wang Yan on the podium, whose gentle smile had turned helpless.

"Hey, young men and women, this is a classroom, you need to be mindful of your behavior!" Wang Yan clapped his hands and said in a slightly teasing tone.

Xiao Xiao finally came to her senses and lifted her head from Lin Yun's chest. When she saw that everyone in the class was looking at her with all sorts of strange eyes, the little girl screamed and immediately tore open Lin Yun's trench coat and hid inside.

Although she and Lin Yun had already done the most intimate things, she was still a young girl after all, and losing her composure in public was still quite embarrassing for her.

"Teacher Wang, it's just a hug, is it really necessary to do this?" Lin Yun said, patting Xiao Xiao's back gently to comfort her, while shrugging at Wang Yan.

"You brat, if we're really going by the outer academy's rules, students aren't allowed to date during their studies!" Wang Yan was almost laughing in exasperation, adjusting his glasses and saying with a wry smile, "Don't think that just because you're an inner academy disciple now you can ignore the outer academy's rules. Xiao Xiao hasn't even been admitted to the inner academy yet!"

Lin Yun curled his lip, his expression clearly unconvinced.

Rules are inanimate, and so are the people who make them!

Oh no, that's not how you say it.

"Teacher Wang, don't be so rigid. Rules are dead, and the people who made them are long gone. Only the people in the present are alive. We should adapt to the situation as it arises." Lin Yun chuckled.

"Besides, shouldn't a genius like me receive some preferential treatment?"

Shrek Academy is so incompetent and lacks any sense of propriety. They try to use school rules to suppress our will and destroy our emotions. How can we surrender without resistance?

Let us rise up and overthrow this incompetent and corrupt Shrek Academy, and this damned dog Tang San!

Heh heh heh heh~ Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?

"Alright, alright, you're full of twisted logic!" Wang Yan shook his head helplessly. Lin Yun's current rank is very high, and he really doesn't have the authority to manage Lin Yun. In fact, only the deans of the two departments in the entire Shrek Academy have the authority to manage Lin Yun.

Moreover, Lin Yun might not necessarily accept it. Wang Yan knew that Lin Yun's arrogance was no less than anyone else's, and even had a hint of self-importance.

But then, Wang Yan asked curiously, "Why are you, an inner court disciple, back in our class during class time instead of staying in the inner court?"

"I took leave a while ago to acquire my sixth spirit ring, and I just got back now," Lin Yun said frankly without hiding anything.

What's there to hide? I broke through to Soul Emperor at less than fourteen years old. My talent is just that unparalleled, leaving you bunch of nobodies unable to even see my taillights.

I've laid my cards on the table, so what?

Wang Yan's mouth dropped open in shock, and his glasses fell to the ground with a thud. If the glasses hadn't been of good quality, the lenses would probably have shattered.

Dai Huabin stared wide-eyed, his lifeless eyes filled with despair. He had always aimed to catch up with Lin Yun, but due to the drugs he had taken before, which had depleted his potential, he was only at level 43.

Huo Yuhao leaned back strategically, his mind a jumbled mess of thoughts, repeatedly asking himself if Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was in the river and if this was normal.

Through his relentless training, coupled with the double blessing of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul, he has already reached level twenty-nine. He is only one level away from obtaining his third soul ring and breaking through to the Soul Venerable realm. However, compared to Lin Yun, his soul power level is directly twice as high!

Huo Gua was completely dumbfounded. He was supposed to be the heaven-defying soul master with an unprecedented million-year soul ring, so why was Lin Yun always a hundred million steps ahead of him, making it impossible for him to even see Lin Yun's back?! If Huo Gua knew that Lin Yun's soul power had actually reached level sixty-nine, a full forty levels higher than his, and that he had four more soul rings, he probably would have his Dao heart shattered.

Even Princess Wang Da'e of Tang felt a chill run down her spine.

During this time, due to the inexplicable goodwill he felt towards Huo Yuhao, and the fact that Huo Yuhao's broad figure stood in front of him when facing the Grim Reaper, his relationship with Huo Yuhao improved considerably.

In the past few months, things have recovered to what they were before.

He was also thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to reveal his true gender to Huo Yuhao, so that he could see the most beautiful version of himself.

However, he never found what he considered to be the "right time," and Huo Yuhao never showed any particular feelings for any woman, so the matter was dragged on indefinitely.

With virtually nothing to do, he devoted all his energy to cultivation. He has now obtained his fourth soul ring, and his soul power level is even one level higher than Dai Huabin's, making him the second most powerful soul power cultivator in the class, second only to Xiao Xiao.

The main reason was that Huo Yuhao was frightened by his neurotic schizophrenic symptoms, which made him always wary and vigilant towards him, so he didn't give him many opportunities to get close to him.

This allowed him to have more time to focus on cultivation.

If you had a weird classmate who was arrogant one moment and humble the next, who hated you one moment and wanted to stick to you the next, and who would mess with your mindset every now and then, you would probably keep your distance.

It's not like I'll stop cultivating and going to school just because I don't have your martial spirit. If I can't afford to offend you, can't I at least avoid you?

So the goose's thoughts were just wishful thinking. Huo Yuhao was still thinking more about how to become stronger and take revenge. Without the double brainwashing of Princess Tang and Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao, who was focused on cultivating his martial soul and soul tool, still maintained his progress with revenge as his primary goal.

This makes one sigh, indeed, women only affect the speed at which a swordsman like Huo Yuhao has a whole host of enemies in front of him.

It is estimated that he will be stimulated by Lin Yun's self-destruction of his soul power level and fall into another frenzied cultivation frenzy.

Of the entire class, the calmest were Xiao Xiao in his arms and Ning Tian beside him.

That's why they say being love-struck is an unchangeable underlying logic in Douluo Continent. In the eyes of these two girls, Lin Yun is practically omnipotent. So what if he broke through to the Soul Emperor realm? Even if Lin Yun said that he would obtain his seventh soul ring and break through to the Soul Saint realm tomorrow, they would probably only be happy and not shocked.

"You... I really don't know how to evaluate you. I've been a teacher for so many years, and even in history books, I've never seen a Soul Master as talented as you." Wang Yan's helplessness today was more than he had in a whole year.

Lin Yun is fourteen years old, while he is forty. Lin Yun has already become a Soul Emperor, while he is still a Soul King.

Yes, he was still a Soul King. Originally, he broke through to Soul Emperor at the next Sea God's Fate Blind Date Conference. This was because he was spurred on by Han Ruoruo and wanted to make himself as worthy of her as possible, so he put more effort into cultivation.

Currently, his soul power level is only level 56, and this level has not changed for a long time.

Without the Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon residing within it, the Coiled Dragon Staff is more of a Dragon Pattern Staff than a Coiled Dragon Staff; it only has dragon patterns on it, without a real coiled dragon.

Wang Yan happened to be a member of the Panlong Staff that didn't possess the Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon, so his talent was quite limited.

Even though he no longer aimed to become a strong person, he still couldn't help but feel ashamed in front of Lin Yun's talent. As a teacher, he couldn't help but envy Lin Yun.

If only I had his talent...

If one could become a true strong person, who would give up this path and instead study a theoretical path that is basically useless?

Faced with Wang Yan's evaluation, Lin Yun didn't know what to say.

To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable returning to Class Two. Although he had never considered himself on the same level as these noobs, this time, the gap seemed to have widened a bit too much.

Looking at the people in front of him, who were familiar but whose names he couldn't quite recall, Lin Yun shrugged, greeted Wang Yan, and then left with Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.

Skipping class is nothing. Lin Yun led him to skip class, and even if Yan Shaozhe came, he wouldn't say anything. Wang Yan naturally wouldn't care either.

Whether or not we attend the second-year courses is no longer important.

After leaving Class Two, Lin Yun and his two companions returned to the shore of Sea God Lake.

Well, the location is really nice. In front of you is a clear lake, and behind you are trees and greenery. With a gentle breeze carrying the scent of golden trees, you can feel completely at peace.

Not only students, but also many teachers, take a walk by the lake in their spare time to relax.

This is indeed a great place for a gathering.

Hmm... If we kill the silver one inside the Golden Tree and plant this Source of Life in the Lake of Life, the Lake of Life will probably be a hundred times better than the current desolate lake.

As soon as they arrived at the lakeside, the familiar squeaking sound rang out. The Ice Jade Scorpion Qing'er couldn't wait to jump from Xiao Xiao's body onto Lin Yun's body, happily crawling all over his chest and back.

Before he left, he left Xiao Qing'er with Xiao Xiao. Lin Yun used a portion of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to have the Ice Emperor help Qing'er refine it, raising its age to the thirty thousand year level.

A 30,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion is comparable to a human Soul Saint with the ultimate attributes. Even if it weren't in the far north, Qing'er would still possess the combat power of a Title Douluo. Especially since it has the Ice Explosion Technique, a divine skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion. If you let that ant Cheng Gang from the Star Luo Empire come, he probably wouldn't be a match for Qing'er.

This was also Lin Yun's insurance policy for Xiao Xiao.

It would be inconvenient for other spirit beasts to protect Xiao Xiao, a human. Not only would those spirit beasts be unwilling, but Lin Yun would also not do it.

Qing'er is different. During her year at Shrek Academy, Qing'er and Xiao Xiao had become quite familiar with each other. Knowing that this human was the Queen Consort of the Venerable One, she treated him with a friendly attitude, which is why Lin Yun placed him by Xiao Xiao's side to protect her.

At Shrek Academy, true powerhouses would certainly not make things difficult for a little girl like her, but those students who lack discernment might not be so. With Qing'er around, Wu Feng could indeed retire.

Speaking of Wu Feng, Lin Yun comforted Qing'er, letting it burrow back into his clothes, and then couldn't help but ask this question.

"So, where did Wu Feng go?"
