Time, like a mischievous elf, always slips away for two years when you're not paying attention.
As everyone knows.
Children on the Douluo Continent mature very early.
In just two years.
Golden Crown grew from a naive youth into a handsome, sunny young man, standing 1.7 meters tall.
Walking on the street, pretty young ladies would occasionally come up to strike up a conversation.
Of course.
His spirit power level also rapidly increased, just like his good looks.
From the original Spirit Ancestor at level forty-five, he grew to a Spirit King at level fifty-eight!
He truly became the number one among his peers.
For example, the always arrogant Golden Generation.
They originally thought they were only a little behind Golden Crown.
They could catch up with a bit of effort.
But when Golden Crown displayed his true strength, they realized they had long been left so far behind that they couldn't even see his exhaust fumes.
From then on, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan understood one thing.
Compared to others, the three of them were indeed geniuses.
But compared to Golden Crown, they were no different from ordinary Soul Masters.
At the same time, Spirit Hall Academy also welcomed its holiday.
Nuoding City.
After two years, Golden Crown once again came to this small city.
[Mission: Please go to Nuoding City, sign in for the plot: Tang San Takes a Master!]
[Time limit: Five days.]
[Failure penalty: None]
"It's finally coming. I won't miss this famous scene of Tang San acknowledging his father."
Looking at the mission panel that only he could see.
Golden Crown's lips curled slightly upwards.
He came to Nuoding City specifically for this mission this time.
And behind him.
Followed a short blue-haired girl.
She was Ye Lingling.
In two years, Ye Lingling also changed greatly.
From a delicate young lady, she transformed into a beautiful woman with a cold, unapproachable demeanor.
She was wearing a dark purple short skirt with begonia flowers, a translucent veil on her face, and white stockings on her slender legs, looking like a fairy.
She constantly attracted the attention of passersby.
Similarly, Ye Lingling's spirit power level also underwent tremendous changes in these two years.
From the original Spirit Grandmaster at level twenty-two, she grew to a Spirit Elder at level thirty-seven.
And with her outstanding appearance, she and Hu Liena were jointly known as the two campus beauties of Spirit Hall Academy.
She was pursued by countless boys.
Some boys with backgrounds even, in order to pursue Ye Lingling.
Not only did they make high-profile confessions, but they also used their family connections to directly propose marriage to the Nine Star Begonia Sect.
The result, of course, was that these boys were given a good beating by Golden Crown.
Among them was Xie Yue, Hu Liena's brother.
However, Xie Yue's pursuit of Ye Lingling had an ulterior motive.
Because after Bibi Dong failed to recruit the Nine Star Begonia Sect, she set her sights on Ye Lingling.
Thinking that as long as Xie Yue could win over Ye Lingling.
Then the Nine Star Begonia Sect would be easily within her grasp.
So she sent Xie Yue to intentionally approach her.
However, Ye Lingling was naturally cold and never paid attention to strangers.
So, she didn't even glance at Xie Yue and the other boys who pursued her.
But she was exceptionally warm towards Golden Crown.
She followed Golden Crown every day, calling him 'Brother Mian' repeatedly.
"Brother Mian, do you have something important to do in Nuoding City?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.
Golden Crown turned back and smiled, responding, "A good show is about to begin, and if we don't hurry, we might miss it."
Ye Lingling tilted her head: "A good show?"
She was very puzzled.
What kind of good show was worth Golden Crown traveling all this way to see?
"No rush, there are still a few days until the show starts."
"Let's find a place to stay first."
...Three days later.
Early in the morning.
Golden Crown brought Ye Lingling to the outside of Nuoding Academy.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a child and an old man being blocked outside by the academy's gatekeeper.
Golden Crown's gaze fell on the child.
Tang San.
And the one talking to the gatekeeper was Old Jack, the village chief of Saint Spirit Village.
It seemed Tang San sensed Golden Crown's gaze.
Tang San turned to look over.
However, he didn't notice anything amiss.
He just thought that their commotion was too loud, attracting the attention of people around them.
"Quite perceptive," Golden Crown secretly thought.
Ye Lingling, who was beside him, saw Golden Crown looking at Tang San not far away and asked curiously, "Brother Mian, is this the good show you mentioned?"
"No."
"The good show will only begin later."
Golden Crown said, waving his hand.
Just then.
The gatekeeper, who had originally intended to drive Old Jack and Tang San away, suddenly fell to the ground.
The one who struck was naturally Tang San.
He looked at the gatekeeper with cold eyes.
Just as he was about to use the Hidden Weapons, the Sleeve Arrow, hidden in his sleeve to kill the gatekeeper.
A voice rang out.
"Stop."
The scumbag Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang made a dazzling entrance.
Just like in the original work.
After Yu Xiaogang confirmed that Tang San's proof was real.
He then led Tang San into the academy.
However, before entering the academy, Yu Xiaogang looked at the gatekeeper and said, pretending to be powerful, "This is the first time, and it will be the last. If it happens again, you won't need to stay here."
The gatekeeper quickly smiled apologetically: "Yes, Grandmaster."
Seeing this scene.
Golden Crown couldn't help but sneer at the Grandmaster.
A person who freeloads at the academy and contributes nothing.
Where did he get the nerve to say such things?
"Let's go, we'll follow them," Golden Crown turned to Ye Lingling and said.
Ye Lingling nodded and obediently followed behind.
The two easily entered Nuoding Academy.
As for the gatekeeper from before.
Seeing strangers, he initially wanted to stop them.
But seeing Golden Crown and Ye Lingling's extraordinary demeanor, he was afraid of offending some important figures.
So he didn't dare to step forward.
Instead, he saluted with a fawning smile.
After entering Nuoding Academy, Golden Crown and Ye Lingling hid in a patch of grass.
They secretly observed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang not far away.
Tang San followed behind Yu Xiaogang and thanked him: "Thank you, teacher."
Yu Xiaogang said faintly: "No, I am not a teacher of the academy."
Tang San was bewildered: "But didn't you just say you represented the academy?"
"I see, you must be the principal or a school leader."
Golden Crown in the grass was speechless.
Tang San, after all, had lived two lives.
How could his mind be so dull?
If Yu Xiaogang were the principal, why would the gatekeeper call him Grandmaster instead of principal?
"You are a very smart child, but I am neither the principal nor a school leader. I am just someone who freeloads here. You can call me Grandmaster, just like everyone else."
"Unless..."
Yu Xiaogang paused here.
Tang San asked curiously: "Unless what?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled: "Unless you are willing to let me be your teacher."
Hearing this.
Golden Crown was very excited: "Oh, the famous scene is finally coming."
Ye Lingling, meanwhile, stood beside him, blushing.
Because they were observing in secret.
The two were very close.
This made her heart race...
