Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Four 6s.

As soon as Dugu Yan played her card, Yan threw out four 6s. What a joke! At this moment, there was no room for chivalry. He was determined to win this round.

"One against three".

Yan then threw out another five opponents.

"One against three".

Ning Rongrong also realized that she couldn't let Yan continue, because the latter only had eight cards left in his hand. He might win again after playing two straights, so she took out her highest pair to snipe him.

"Hehe, on the pipe."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling didn't want them, but Yan threw out a pair of small kings.

"fry."

Ning Rongrong naturally wouldn't hesitate now. She detonated all five Ks at once, which was a huge explosion. No wonder she seemed hesitant earlier and unwilling to use them.

"Sorry, I won again."

Five Kings was already a huge bomb, and the other two were teammates, so naturally they wouldn't grab them. In the end, Yan finished off the remaining cards. When he took out six Twos, Ning Rongrong was so angry that she slammed all her cards onto the table.

How come you have such good cards?

Ning Rongrong asked Yan somewhat unconvinced, but Yan just smiled and waved to her, signaling her to come closer.

Ning Rongrong subconsciously moved closer, staring at Yan with wide eyes in disbelief, completely unexpected that what happened next would be like that.

"Give it to me."

Yan gently shook Ning Rongrong's hem, and her outer garment was skillfully peeled off. Then, His Highness lowered his head and kissed the Seven Treasures Princess on the cheek, smiling as he said, "Of course, it's because I'm lucky, Rongrong, my darling."

After she confiscated Ning Rongrong's outer garment, the latter was left with only a pink and white undershirt. After being kissed, she immediately covered her face, lowered her head, and became extremely shy.

"Yanyan, Lingling, do you two also need Brother Yan to come in person? Come on, I won't find it troublesome."

With a grin, Yan then set his sights on Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan. After hesitating for a while, the two beauties still didn't dare let Yan do it himself and took off their outer clothes on their own initiative. This disappointed Yan a little; what a great opportunity!

Chapter 233 Five Elements Academy Friendship

"Do you want to continue?"

Yan said with a smile.

"continue."

The three of them seemed to have gotten a little carried away, and in the end they all asked to continue. Yan naturally wouldn't refuse their request and started dealing the cards again.

……

"Three bombs, you've lost again."

After clearing his hand of cards once again, Yan Yangyang said smugly, "I didn't expect you guys to be so bad. You haven't won a single game yet, sigh..."

Yan was dressed up convincingly, even sighing. Dugu Yan glanced at him, knowing he was up to no good, but didn't expose him. She started taking off her clothes herself, and Ye Lingling did the same.

"Hey! Rongrong, you look so cool and refreshed."

Compared to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong was a little uneasy. She was still young, so she wasn't wearing anything under her vest. If she took it off now, it would really be a feast for the eyes of someone.

"Okay, let's turn off the lights. That should do it."

Yan guessed that Ning Rongrong was shy, so he stood up and turned off the light. The room became much darker, and the atmosphere became a little strange. There was one man and three women in a room, and the girls were almost naked.

Seeing the room lights dim, Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and kept her bet, slowly removing her last line of defense.

"Do you still want to play cards? If you do, we won't turn on the lights."

Yan felt his throat was a little dry, swallowed, and asked softly. At this moment, the three women stopped talking, and the room was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard.

"Since none of you are saying anything, I'll take that as your agreement."

Yan brazenly said, and this time no one spoke up. Since none of the three objected, Yan decided to be impolite and drew cards again. This was the last round.

As Yan's hand grew stronger, he felt an urge to have a nosebleed. Another incredibly good hand; was fate deliberately working its magic on him?

By the dim moonlight, the other three people who received the cards didn't look too good; the cards they were dealt couldn't even form a straight.

This time, Yan went even further, laying his cards out on the table, a terrifying array from highest to lowest. "This round, I'll just play it open."

The three people looked at each other, when suddenly Ning Rongrong felt a chill on her body, and a restless hand reached out.

"Well, how about we leave it at that for today?"

Dugu Yan spoke, though her voice sounded strange. However, Ning Rongrong had no time to care about that, as her attention was focused on something else entirely.

After a dazed and confused game of cards, the three girls all seemed a little strange. Just now, someone had been restless and unruly, making them quite uncomfortable.

The moon in the sky was suddenly obscured by dark clouds, and the room fell into a deathly silence, yet within this silence, something else seemed to have been added.

……

As the dawn sunlight streamed into the courtyard, Yan finally woke up from his sleep. After washing his face and tidying himself up a bit, he went to the courtyard, stretched his limbs a little, and seeing that it was almost time, he prepared to go out.

Unfortunately, he hadn't gone far when he was ambushed. The young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, arm in arm with two best friends she had only known for a few days, had come specifically to block his way. Apart from cultivating, they had spent their days familiarizing themselves with playing cards, just waiting to avenge their previous humiliation.

"You're getting ready to go out again."

Seeing that Yan was dressed very formally today, Ning Rongrong quickly let go of her two older sisters and stood in front of Yan, saying, "My dad said you're not allowed to go out anymore."

Yan smiled and reached out to touch Ning Rongrong's head, but the latter nimbly dodged him. "Rongrong, Sect Leader Ning only told me to keep a low profile for the time being and avoid the limelight, but she didn't say that I couldn't move around, did she?"

"You're the kind of person who always gets into trouble. The matter from last time still hasn't been resolved."

Ning Rongrong stood with her hands on her hips, her attitude extremely unpleasant. Recently, because of Yan's disturbance at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had suffered collateral damage, and Ning Fengzhi had been under immense pressure. Consequently, Ning Rongrong hadn't been giving him a friendly look either.

Yan still smiled and said, enjoying this way of getting along with Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, don't worry, I promise I won't cause any trouble this time. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"I don't believe you at all."

Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, but she didn't really have any way to deal with Yan. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You can go out if you want, but you have to take the three of us with you. I'm going to keep a close eye on you and not give you the chance to do bad things outside."

"Okay."

Yan responded with a smile, and then took the initiative to bring Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan along.

After the last night's poker game, the relationship between the three girls and Yan became somewhat complicated. Now that all three of them are here, their attitudes towards each other are somewhat restrained, but in private...

Even Ye Lingling, who had known Yan the shortest among the three, called him "Brother Yan" when they were alone. Moreover, Lingling's lips were cool and carried a strange fragrance of begonia.

Unfortunately, Yan is not an old pear blossom and cannot accomplish the feat of one pear blossom overshadowing another crabapple. However, he is still working on overshadowing the crabapple.

Yan led the three beautiful girls out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle. This time, however, they did not leave in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's carriage, but were escorted by elite knights from the Spirit Hall, making the procession appear quite formal.

"You big bad guy, where are we going this time?"

Ning Rongrong was a restless person. After getting into the carriage, she glanced around and lost interest. The carriage of the Spirit Hall was only so-so and did not impress her. So she then pestered a certain prince who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Elephant Armor Academy"

Yan didn't open his eyes, but replied calmly, and then continued to meditate and cultivate his soul power in the bumpy carriage. Ye Lingling pulled Ning Rongrong back to prevent her from affecting Yan's cultivation.

Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Elephant Armor Academy? Is that the Elephant Armor Sect? I heard those people are all a bunch of fat guys? What do you want to do with them?"

Yan still didn't open his eyes, but his tone became somewhat strange, "The Elephant Armor Sect is much smarter than some other sects. They chose to befriend the Spirit Hall and cooperate with them. Is it strange that I, as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, am going to inspect the forces under the Spirit Hall's command?"

Ning Rongrong was annoyed by his words and snorted unhappily, "The Elephant Armor Sect can't compare to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Elephant Armor Sect is only one of the four lower sects, and its strongest member is just a Soul Douluo. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has two Title Douluos."

Yan continued, "Yes, you're right, but what I want to say is that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is somewhat ungrateful."

"You, hmph..."

Ning Rongrong felt she had been tricked by Yan, and angrily turned away from this mean brother who only knew how to bully her, thinking to herself that she would definitely not agree to let him play that game again next time.

Ning Rongrong was sulking, and Ye Lingling pulled her aside to comfort her in a low voice. At this moment, Dugu Yan spoke up again: "Brother Yan, you went to Elephant Armor Academy this time, it must be for the Five Elements Academy's joint event, right?"

"Yanyan, you also know about the Five Elements Academy's joint event, what a coincidence."

Yan had just finished a week of soul power meditation when he opened his eyes, glanced at Ning Rongrong with her lips pouting, and said, "That's right, I went there today for the Five Elements Academy's social event. Of course, the purpose wasn't so simple."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The Five Elements Academy is truly a mainstay in the soul master world of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Although the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy boasts the best facilities, environment, and configuration in the Heavenly Dou Empire, its overall student quality is low due to the large number of students being forcibly taken by noble children, making it unworthy of the title of truly number one.

Currently, the true number one academy in the Heaven Dou Empire should be one of the Five Elemental Academies, depending mainly on the performance of this generation of young people..."

As Yan, Ning Rongrong, and the other two were talking, the bumpy carriage slowly arrived at a desolate mountain more than 20 miles outside Tiandou City. The scenery here was extremely special and strange, with sparse vegetation, towering boulders, and scattered rocks, making it look quite desolate.

The already bumpy road became even narrower and more difficult to travel here, making Yan feel quite uncomfortable. So she lifted the curtains to look around.

The surrounding area of ​​this desolate mountain is mostly devoid of scenery, but there are quite a few people around. A castle can be vaguely seen in the clouds above the mountain peaks, and there seems to be a cluster of buildings further away. Shouts can be heard constantly echoing from afar.

"The Elephant Armor Sect's morning training is quite early, but these guys are a bit too terrifying when they move."

Yan and Ning Rongrong clung to a window, and could see many figures inside and outside the castle in the distance. It wasn't that they were exceptionally tall, but rather that those figures were enormous.

The entry requirements for Elephant Armor Academy are extremely high. Not only do you need to be of the Earth element, but you also need to be heavy enough, which is quite a hurdle. Therefore, at Elephant Armor Academy, someone weighing 300 pounds can no longer be considered very fat.

"Huyan Zhen of the Elephant Armor Sect greets the Holy Son."

When Yan's carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Elephant Armor Academy's mountain gate, an old man dressed in a black and gold Contra suit came to greet him with a group of people.

Yan peeked through a crack and saw a massive mountain of flesh. This mountain of flesh belonged to the person who had spoken earlier. His voice was extremely loud, and his physique was quite peculiar, making him unique even within the Elephant Armor Academy.

To describe his appearance as merely "extraordinary" would be an understatement, for his body was simply enormous. When he stood up, he resembled a small mountain, even larger than a carriage.

This person was at least two meters tall, a truly enormous figure. Even when sitting, he was much taller than an average person standing.

His hair and beard were all white, and he looked to be at least seventy years old. He occupied a huge space by himself, and his whole person exuded an extraordinary domineering aura.

His skin was dark, and his large eyes were like copper bells. A special light seemed to emanate from his dark skin, giving him a very imposing presence.

This old man is extremely famous in the Douluo Continent. His name is Huyan Zhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the seven major sects, and his nickname is Celestial Elephant.

"Sect Leader Huyan, I have troubled you this time, so there is no need for such formalities."

After stepping out of the carriage, Yan walked a few steps to the old man, his attitude naturally very humble. Although the old man in front of him was only a Soul Douluo like the three instructors of Tian Dou, he was a very special Soul Douluo, whose defense was even stronger than that of ordinary Title Douluos.

Besides, the Elephant Armor Sect was, after all, one of their own who knew how to be accommodating. Even if it was just for mutual flattery, he still had to treat the person in front of him with a good attitude.

"These are the outstanding individuals."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Huyan Zhen, Yan's gaze fell upon several figures to the side. These people were generally young, each as robust as a fat pig, with an imposing presence like a door panel.

They wore the dark uniforms of the Elephant Armor Academy and all had the unique hairstyle of the Elephant Armor Sect, with the sides of their hair shaved and only the hair in the middle combed into a strange ponytail.
