White World – Spirit Hall
"Ahhh! Stop playing it already! Please, just stop!"
"My image is completely ruined!"
Bibi Dong buried her face in her hands as she looked at the heavenly curtain above, her expression full of despair.
Some things were embarrassing enough when remembered privately.
But having those moments publicly displayed before countless people across multiple worlds?
That was simply unbearable.
The current Bibi Dong genuinely wished she could crawl into a hole and hide forever.
"You really never know until you see it…"
"How did I not realize I was so foolish back then?"
Beside her, Hu Liena could no longer hold back her laughter.
"Hehe~"
"Teacher, don't you always say how wise and mature you were when you were young?"
She tilted her head mischievously while grinning.
"But looking at it now…"
"You don't seem all that impressive."
The moment those words fell, the atmosphere froze.
Bibi Dong slowly turned her head.
"Hu…"
"Li…"
"Na!!"
The moment Hu Liena heard her full name being called, her entire body trembled instinctively.
Anyone familiar with Bibi Dong knew exactly what that tone meant.
It was the calm before the storm.
As the saying went, the moment your teacher called your full name, you had better become obedient immediately.
Otherwise…
The belt would soon start flying.
Even though Hu Liena was already considered a genius among Spirit Masters, in front of Bibi Dong, she was still nothing more than a powerless little fox.
Thus, almost instantly, Hu Liena jumped to her feet.
She bowed deeply with astonishing speed.
"Teacher, I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have laughed!"
"Please forgive me! I won't dare do it again!"
Her apology combo was so smooth and practiced that even Yu Xiaogang nearly laughed out loud.
Bibi Dong's anger suddenly got stuck halfway.
She wanted to scold Hu Liena further, but seeing her disciple surrender so decisively made it difficult to continue.
"You…"
In the end, she could only glare helplessly.
Yu Xiaogang, who had been watching the scene unfold with amusement, stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright."
"Na Na became like this because you spoiled her too much."
"If you're angry, you should blame yourself first."
Hearing that, Bibi Dong immediately turned her dangerous gaze toward him instead.
Yu Xiaogang coughed awkwardly but quickly changed the topic.
"But honestly…"
He glanced at the younger version of Bibi Dong displayed on the heavenly curtain before grinning teasingly.
"You used to say you only fell for me later."
"But looking at this scene now…"
"You misunderstood your teacher's task from the very beginning, yet you still didn't reject me."
He leaned slightly closer.
"So tell me honestly…"
"When exactly did you start liking me?"
The moment those words were spoken, Bibi Dong's beautiful face instantly reddened slightly.
However, instead of answering verbally—
Her hand moved.
Swish!
Her fingers shot directly toward Yu Xiaogang's waist with terrifying precision.
Then—
Pinch!
"Hissssss!"
Yu Xiaogang nearly jumped on the spot.
"Wrong! Wrong! I won't ask anymore!"
"Please let go!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang instantly surrender made Hu Liena secretly lower her head to hide her laughter.
Only after hearing his desperate plea did Bibi Dong finally withdraw her hand in satisfaction.
Yu Xiaogang rubbed his waist while inhaling cold air repeatedly.
This was the first time in his life he had experienced such a legendary attack.
And what shocked him most was the fact that even with his current terrifying physical strength, the pinch still hurt unbearably.
It was simply unreasonable.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong shifted her gaze back toward the heavenly curtain.
As she looked at the younger versions of herself and Yu Xiaogang displayed above, her expression gradually softened.
A trace of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
Truthfully…
Even she herself wasn't sure exactly when her feelings for Yu Xiaogang had begun.
Previously, she always believed it happened slowly over time.
But now, after watching these scenes replayed one after another, she suddenly realized something strange.
Perhaps…
Things had already started much earlier than she thought.
After all, the way she misunderstood her teacher's mission back then was already extremely suspicious.
More importantly…
Despite misunderstanding it that way, she never rejected Yu Xiaogang even once.
That fact alone explained many things.
"Surely it wasn't love at first sight back in the Star Dou Forest… right?"
Bibi Dong muttered inwardly with disbelief.
"We were still so young back then…"
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became.
Meanwhile, the heavenly curtain continued playing.
[The Video Continues]
After finishing today's reading session, Yu Xiaogang stretched lazily while standing up from his seat.
Beside him, Little Dragon looked even more excited.
The tiny dragon jumped around happily like a bird finally escaping from its cage.
Its entire body radiated excitement.
Yu Xiaogang quickly grabbed it before it could make too much noise.
"Hey, calm down."
"There are still people reading nearby."
"Hold on a little longer."
Then he lowered his voice slightly.
"Later, I'll take you to the Great Spirit Arena."
The moment Little Dragon heard those words, its eyes instantly lit up.
"Roar!!! (≧▽≦)/~"
Its excitement immediately doubled.
Seeing the little fellow's joyful reaction, Yu Xiaogang could not help smiling as well.
Truthfully, he himself was also looking forward to visiting the Great Spirit Arena.
On the Douluo Continent, Spirit Fighting was considered an essential part of a Spirit Master's growth.
As the saying went—
If you had never participated in Spirit Fighting, could you really call yourself a true Spirit Master?
Before arriving at Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang had watched several Spirit Fighting matches in Blue Lightning City's Great Spirit Arena.
The atmosphere there had been absolutely electrifying.
The cheers.
The battles.
The collision of Spirit abilities.
Everything about it was thrilling.
However, while he had watched many matches before, he had never personally participated in one.
Which meant…
Today would likely become his official Spirit Fighting debut.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was imagining the scene inside the Great Spirit Arena—
A voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"You're going to the Great Spirit Arena?"
Yu Xiaogang turned around.
Bibi Dong was looking at him curiously.
"Yeah."
"As a Spirit Master, if you arrive in a new city without visiting its Great Spirit Arena, wouldn't that feel like a waste?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded naturally.
The moment Bibi Dong heard that, her eyes brightened immediately.
"Perfect!"
"Then let's go together!"
She stood up happily from her chair without hesitation.
Yu Xiaogang blinked slightly in surprise.
"Judging from your reaction…"
"You seem to like Spirit Fighting a lot too?"
"Of course!"
Bibi Dong answered without hesitation.
"Every normal Spirit Master on the Douluo Continent likes Spirit Fighting."
Her expression practically screamed "Isn't that obvious?"
Then her excitement suddenly dimmed slightly.
"It's just unfortunate…"
"I've never managed to find a suitable teammate before."
"So I could only participate in one-on-one matches."
As she spoke, her gaze slowly shifted toward Yu Xiaogang.
Then her eyes suddenly sparkled brightly.
"Since you're going too…"
"How about we form a team and participate in two-on-two Spirit Fighting together?"
Before Yu Xiaogang even had time to respond, Bibi Dong had already rushed over toward Little Dragon.
She hugged the little dragon's head affectionately.
"Little Dragon!"
"Do you want to fight alongside me?"
"We'll beat all our opponents into submission together!"
Bibi Dong looked at Little Dragon expectantly.
And Little Dragon naturally did not disappoint her.
It nodded enthusiastically almost immediately.
"Roar! (≧▽≦)/~"
"Yay!"
Bibi Dong cheered happily.
"Then we're teammates now!"
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
"Oh right!"
"We need a team name!"
"It has to sound cool, powerful, and domineering!"
Bibi Dong immediately entered serious brainstorming mode.
"You're a dragon…"
"So our team name definitely needs the word 'dragon' in it."
Then she looked thoughtful.
"My martial spirit is a spider…"
"How about Spider-Dragon Team?"
Little Dragon instantly shook its head in disgust.
"Roar~ o(>﹏<)o"
Bibi Dong pouted slightly.
"You don't like that?"
"Hm…"
"Then what about Dragon-Spider Team?"
Little Dragon rejected it even faster this time.
"Roar~ o(︶︿︶)o"
Bibi Dong crossed her arms and began thinking seriously again.
Several seconds later, her eyes suddenly lit up brilliantly.
"I've got it!"
"How about…"
"The Dragon Emperor Team?!"
The moment those words were spoken, Little Dragon instantly became excited.
"ROAR!!! (≧▽≦)/~"
Clearly, it loved the name.
Bibi Dong also became delighted immediately.
"Perfect!"
"Then from today onward…"
"We are officially the Dragon Emperor Team!"
"We'll sweep through the entire Great Spirit Arena!"
Thus, one girl and one dragon happily finalized the team name on the spot.
Meanwhile, the actual Spirit Master involved—
Yu Xiaogang—
Had not been consulted even once.
Watching the two celebrate enthusiastically, Yu Xiaogang could only reveal a helpless expression.
"I say…"
"Shouldn't you at least ask for my opinion first?"
Hearing that, Bibi Dong turned around while still hugging Little Dragon.
"Alright then."
"What's your opinion?"
At that moment, one girl and one dragon both stared at him with sparkling eyes full of anticipation.
Yu Xiaogang lasted less than a second before surrendering completely.
"…Fine."
What else could he say?
After all, he had already planned to participate in Spirit Fighting anyway.
And since he wanted to experience different battle formats, two-on-two matches were naturally unavoidable.
As for seven-person team battles…
That was impossible for now.
Under the current circumstances, if he wanted to participate in two-on-two Spirit Fighting, then he genuinely needed a teammate.
And among all the people he currently knew…
Bibi Dong truly was the best choice.
Thus—
Without realizing it—
The Dragon Emperor Team was officially born.
