Lu Yuan's return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy was silent, but he was eventually caught by Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
At this time, both women were already seventeen or eighteen years old, and their figures had fully matured.
Dugu Yan, who originally had a slender waist and long legs, had an even more fiery figure due to the Awakening of her Dragon ClanBloodline.
Ye Lingling, who was originally petite and lovely, had also transformed into a charming older sister after several years of development; although her figure couldn't compare to Dugu Yan's, it was well-proportioned and definitely above average.
After catching Lu Yuan, the two women immediately began chattering, ceaselessly asking about Lu Yuan's fifth spirit ring.
"Little Senior Sister, Sister Yanyan, can you two ask one at a time?"
"You're giving me a headache."
Lu Yuan was somewhat speechless; they were already a Spirit King and a Spirit Ancestor, yet their personalities hadn't matured at all, still behaving like before.
"How is your fifth spirit ring? How many hundred thousand years? What about your Spirit Ability?"
Dugu Yan pouted unhappily, snorted lightly, glanced at Lu Yuan, and asked with some displeasure.
She had originally wanted to go with her grandfather to get this fifth spirit ring.
But Lu Yuan actually refused, saying he could obtain it by himself, which made her both displeased and worried.
She was afraid Lu Yuan would find an unsuitable spirit ring for himself. With her grandfather, a Titled Douluo, he didn't even know how to utilize him. Alas... it was worrying!
"My fifth spirit ring reached seventy thousand years, and my Spirit Ability is also good."
Lu Yuan understood Dugu Yan's concerns, so he didn't hide anything and immediately told her about his past Spirit Ability.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but open her red lips in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
A seventy-thousand-year fifth ring? The sixth ring would probably be a hundred thousand year one, wouldn't it?
Does that mean her grandfather, who had already broken through to ninety-third rank these past years, was completely useless now?
"Yan Yan, I told you there's no need to worry. Junior Brother doesn't need us to worry about him."
"Junior Brother, there's an auction tonight, will you accompany us?"
Ye Lingling looked at Lu Yuan with anticipation, her jade-like arms embracing Lu Yuan's hand.
Her soft, not-too-large chest firmly pressed against Lu Yuan.
Feeling the warmth from her body, Lu Yuan couldn't help but tremble.
Over the years, as their relationship grew closer, Ye Lingling had transformed from her initial solitude to her current self.
When she was with Lu Yuan, she would act spoiled, get angry, and was almost no different from an ordinary girl.
Dugu Yan watched Ye Lingling's actions, her lips twitching involuntarily, somewhat hesitant, but her pride prevented her from making such intimate gestures.
"Hmph, if he doesn't go, Lingling, I'll go with you."
Dugu Yan glared fiercely at Ye Lingling, her gaze threatening, and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Alright, alright, I'll go, won't that do!"
"But just this once. After we're done shopping, don't disturb me. I just obtained my fifth spirit ring, and I want to properly comprehend it."
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly pulling his thoughts back and speaking.
"Mhm, mhm, we'll listen to you..."
"But the Academy is currently organizing preparations for the next All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Should we participate?"
"That Yu Tianheng seems to have already gathered many people and plans to form the Heaven Dou Team!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan agree, Ye Lingling immediately jumped twice happily, but soon her cheeks flushed, and she quickly released her arms from around Lu Yuan.
With a flushed face, she changed the subject, looking left and right.
Dugu Yan snorted coldly, gritting her silver teeth, secretly spitting at Ye Lingling in her heart, then said coldly:
"Of course we should participate. If Yu Tianheng, just a Spirit Elder, can form a team, why can't we?"
"I heard Grandpa say that various Geniuses will appear at the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. I really want to witness them."
Lu Yuan nodded, not intending to refuse.
Since he had come to Douluo Continent, not participating seemed a bit unreasonable.
Moreover, the rewards for this competition were also quite generous.
A total of three Spirit Bones, including one head Spirit Bone with a spiritual attribute exceeding fifty thousand years.
Even if he didn't absorb it due to its lower age, he could give it to Ye Lingling or Dugu Yan.
"We can participate, but the team members still need to be carefully selected."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. After many years of Cultivation, his spirit power had reached fifty-second rank, but he had never encountered an opponent.
Spirit Bones were just a bonus; witnessing the Geniuses of the Continent was what he wanted to do.
Although he was confident he could easily defeat anyone, there were so many Spirits in the world that witnessing them was a good thing.
Moreover, this All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament did feature some excellent Geniuses.
Shui Bing'er, the captain of Tianshui Academy, with a Ice PhoenixSpirit. In the original plot, she almost caused Tang San's Dao Heart to become unbalanced, making him switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer.
Huo Wu, who possessed a special spirit ring fusion technique. If he observed her up close, perhaps he could learn from her.
This technique was extremely important for enhancing Spirit Abilities, and in Lu Yuan's mind, it even surpassed the Ring Explosion of the Clear Sky Sect.
Feng Xiaotian was also a rare Genius, though he had been somewhat crippled by himself, he still had some redeeming qualities.
By mastering all the techniques possessed by all Geniuses, he was confident he could become even stronger.
"Hmph hmph, that's more like it!"
Seeing Lu Yuan nod, Dugu Yan immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
After the two girls went to the auction, Lu Yuan, lacking interest, returned to the dormitory and entered meditation.
At the Heaven Dou Auction House, most of the time, the items auctioned were only a few types.
Slaves, women, and various collectible treasures.
There were hardly any items useful for Cultivation among them, only nobles would continuously patronize it, but Lu Yuan had no interest in it whatsoever.
Like casually picking up some DivinityLegacy item, it was ultimately a cliché plot from storybooks... In the God Realm, where destruction and Life Qi intertwined... The God of Destruction frowned tightly at this moment, frequently looking towards the Lower Realm.
His actions quickly attracted the attention of the Goddess of Life.
"Destruction, what's wrong?"
The Goddess of Life spoke somewhat strangely, her voice gentle, giving people a refreshing feeling upon hearing it.
Listening to the soft inquiry in his ear, the God of Destruction shook his head, a hint of confusion on his face.
"In the past five or six days, I have frequently felt the authority of the God of Thunder on the Douluo Continent, but the God of Thunder has long since fallen!"
"I investigated for a long time but ultimately found nothing. I don't know if I misperceived it or if there's some hidden secret..."
One day in the God Realm was one year in the Lower Realm. The five or six days the God of Destruction felt represented five or six years in the Lower Realm!
