"School Master Ning is really good at keeping us in suspense, but I heard your daughter seems to have joined the Heaven Dou Royal Team?"
"Could it be that the Heaven Dou Royal Team is who School Master Ning favors?"
Salas raised an eyebrow, starting to subtly needle Ning Fengzhi with his words.
For this group of people standing at the pinnacle of the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Rongrong joining the Heaven Dou Team was practically an open secret.
"Yes, Bishop Salas is correct, my daughter has indeed joined the Heaven Dou Royal Team."
"As for whether I favor the Heaven Dou Team, you'll see in the future."
Ning Fengzhi would not be swayed in the slightest by Salas's small provocation; exposing Lu Yuan, this great weapon, prematurely would be truly foolish.
Xue Qinghe, who had been silently observing all of this from the side, now looked thoughtfully towards the Heaven Dou Team's private box.
Then, his gaze met Lu Yuan's across the distance.
As their eyes met, Xue Qinghe immediately showed a benevolent smile, and Lu Yuan naturally nodded, returning a friendly smile.
For nearly a year, due to being busy with the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament, Lu Yuan hadn't had a good chat with this "Crown PrinceYour Highness" for a long time.
Now, as their gazes met, Lu Yuan was genuinely a little curious about him.
He was very curious if, after losing to him a year ago, this person had truly woken up.
If he was still the same as before, then Lu Yuan would truly have no opponents left among the younger generation.
He would truly be far ahead... As today's competition ended, Lu Yuan and his group prepared to leave the venue.
The competitions in the Heaven Dou Division could be described as both tedious and drawn-out.
There were a full twenty-eight teams, and apart from the Heaven Dou Team, who were guaranteed advancement, there were only a mere five spots left.
To secure these five spots, one would have to go through competition after competition.
The combat power of these academies varied, and some unlucky academies that encountered seeded players were simply crushed, which could be said to have no viewing appeal whatsoever.
Lu Yuan had made up his mind; apart from the most important few matches, he would spend the rest of his time meditating in the academy.
After all, the ultimate attribute was somewhat of a drag; in this year of preparing for the Grand Tournament.
Lu Yuan's strength had only increased by two levels, from level fifty-six a year ago to level fifty-eight now.
Although such an improvement was not slow for a Spirit Master with ultimate attributes, Lu Yuan still felt a sense of urgency.
The great era was approaching, and if he didn't have enough strength, he would always feel a bit uneasy.
Was he to become a silent spectator when Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong successively became gods in the future?
Lu Yuan was unwilling, and he did not want to.
Although he currently had no grudges with Spirit Hall, sufficient strength was the fundamental source of peace of mind... Just as he reached the main entrance of the venue, he encountered several familiar figures.
Looking at the Shrek Academy group they ran into, Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged; he merely glanced at them indifferently and intended to leave directly.
However, while Lu Yuan wanted to leave, some people didn't want him to.
Yu Tianheng suddenly stepped forward, directly blocking Lu Yuan's path.
"Lu Yuan, I know your strength is very strong, but these days I must have become stronger under my uncle's tutelage."
"We will enter the finals; I just hope your current strength doesn't disappoint us."
Defeating Lu Yuan had become Yu Tianheng's Heart Demon; he desperately wanted to prove his strength against this Genius who had completely crushed him.
In the past, as the most outstanding Genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was hailed as a Prodigy, a 'twin star', and an object of envy for countless people.
But ever since losing to Lu Yuan, he had fallen into despair again and again; his proud heart was filled with contradictions.
So, to break free from the inner demon, he had to defeat Lu Yuan.
"Yu Tianheng, I don't know why you are so desperately trying to challenge me."
"Is it to prove the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, or to prove that your talent is not inferior to mine?"
"Honestly, I've never really taken you seriously. To be frank, defeating me is something you've never been able to do from start to finish."
Lu Yuan really didn't know what to say about Yu Tianheng's persistence.
Whether it was the first Soul Duel or the current endless entanglement, it seemed he was the one who initiated it.
Wanting to defeat himself, ha, is that even possible?
Daring to challenge him without recognizing the gap in strength was simply foolish.
"Lu Yuan, Tian Heng isn't alone; we Shrek Seven Devils advance and retreat together."
"Even if your strength is great, you may not necessarily be able to defeat us."
"Let's see everything on the arena. Also, Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, I will personally take it back."
Tang San stepped to Yu Tianheng's side, looked at Lu Yuan, and spoke with great confidence.
He also wanted to defeat Lu Yuan; the old grudges should all be returned to this guy who had brought him shame in the past, on the arena.
At this moment, he was not far from becoming a Spirit Ancestor; even if he couldn't harm Lu Yuan alone, the power of a team was formidable.
Shrek would ultimately become the champion of this Grand Tournament!
Lu Yuan looked at the confident Tang San, but in his heart, he only felt amused: "I have to say, your spirit power improvement has indeed exceeded my imagination."
"In just over a year, you've gone from level thirty-three to level thirty-nine."
"But a Spirit Elder is just a Spirit Elder; with your strength, you're not qualified to talk about victory."
"Just a bunch of small fries. If you truly want to defeat me, then humbly climb upwards; I will only be watching you at the finish line."
As he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's body was involuntarily covered by golden lightning, and an aura of royalty, imbued with terrifying pressure, roared heavily in the ears of the Shrek group.
The ferocious ultimate lightning possessed incredibly terrifying might.
Lu Yuan merely revealed a trace of his aura, and the faces of the Shrek group instantly changed dramatically, showing expressions as if facing a formidable enemy.
Such an obvious disparity immediately made the people behind Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
Ning Rongrong even laughed so hard that tears almost fell from her eyes.
After a year of being together, she couldn't say she was one hundred percent certain about Lu Yuan's strength.
But she was sure that this group from Shrek was definitely no match for Lu Yuan.
Coming to provoke him now was just asking for humiliation.
"Arrogance will sooner or later bring you your deserved retribution. Lu Yuan, your talent is good, but you ultimately embarked on a wrong path."
"Tian Heng losing to you was just for a moment."
"In the upcoming competitions, they will personally use their strength to shut your mouth."
Just then, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong walked in hand in hand.
Their bodies were very close, and their intimate appearance sent a chill down Lu Yuan's spine.
Is it really all for love?
You two are cousins!
