I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Chapter 172 The Shocked Look of Emperor Xueye

Meng Shenji and the other two exchanged glances, their faces showing admiration. They had never expected that their teacher, Lin Yuan, would be so powerful; it was simply astonishing and unbelievable.

"Teacher Lin Yuan, you truly live up to your reputation. Today's battle has shown us what a true powerhouse is."

Chief Dream Machine wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said with sincere admiration.

Bai Baoshan and Zhilin nodded in agreement, seemingly finding the cultivation of such a gifted disciple to be the proudest achievement of their lives.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "You flatter me, seniors. I have also gained a lot from this exchange. Your teamwork and combat skills have benefited me greatly."

Chief Dream God stroked his beard and said with an even brighter smile, "Teacher Lin Yuan, you flatter us. In front of a level 96 Title Douluo, we are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree."

The fact that Lin Yuan could shatter Bai Baoshan's Heavenly Star Furnace in an instant already shows that his strength has surpassed that of most Title Douluo powerhouses.

After all, Bai Baoshan is recognized as the strongest defensive Soul Douluo, and his Martial Soul, the Heavenly Star Furnace, can withstand the attacks of most Title Douluo powerhouses. Unless one can unleash tens of thousands of pounds of power instantly, it is impossible to break the barrier in a short time.

Lin Yuan put one hand behind his back, took a sip from the wine gourd at his waist, chatted with the three chiefs of the teaching committee for a while, and then left and returned to the courtyard inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At this moment, Ye Lingling was having dinner with Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu was busy in the kitchen, and Canglong Shangque was sitting in a chair enjoying the tea specially provided by the palace.

Upon hearing the noise, Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing immediately stood up, bowed to Lin Yuan, and their eyes were full of flattery.

"Meet the teacher."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, then stepped forward and said, "You all eat first, I'm fine."

Zhu Zhuqing sat in her chair and continued eating, while Ye Lingling ran over and grabbed Lin Yuan's wrist, wanting him to try the food she had made herself.

"Teacher, I made all of these myself. Please try them. If you don't like them, I will make improvements later."

Lin Yuan didn't want to eat, but he couldn't resist Lingling's insistence, so he could only sit in the chair and enjoy the food that Ye Lingling had made herself.

She learned these recipes from Madam Ye Yao, all so she could cook a meal for her teacher and receive some praise.

Ye Lingling is, after all, a child, and she desperately needs her parents' praise and approval, just like children in ordinary families. She hopes to get good grades so that she can gain her parents' trust and approval.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said, "The taste is not bad. Did you make all these dishes?"

Ye Lingling gently tidied her hair behind her ear and said with a warm smile, "Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu also helped me. I did everything else."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then took a couple of bites before looking at Xiao Wu and slowly saying, "Go eat, you don't need to show off in front of me."

Xiao Wu awkwardly touched her nose. If it weren't for Lin Yuan, she would always eat with Ye Lingling. Only when she ran into Lin Yuan would she pretend to be working.

Lin Yuan wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, stood up and returned to his room. He sat cross-legged and continued his cultivation, striving to one day break through to the level 97 Title Douluo realm.

...For the next period of time, Lin Yuan devoted himself to cultivation, Ye Lingling reached the level 59 Soul King realm, and the others reached around level 52.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly inferior, only at level 49, just one step away from level 50.

Fortunately, the Tiandou Royal Academy team can directly advance to the finals, so they don't have to worry about revealing their identities in advance.

Inside the magnificent palace, Emperor Xueye was enjoying tea with Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and also discussed the matter of the Royal Fighting Team.

Emperor Xueye was overjoyed to learn that the disciples in the Royal Fighting Team had all reached the Soul King realm. After all, these were all Soul Masters of the Empire, who would serve the Empire in the future, which was absolutely beneficial to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Ning Fengzhi said softly, "It seems that the championship of this continent-wide advanced soul master elite competition will undoubtedly belong to our Heaven Dou Empire."

"As it stands, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Emperor Xueye stroked his beard and said with a smile, "However, the specifics are still unclear. After all, the Spirit Hall has always been the champion, so they will probably arrange for strong individuals to participate in this Continental Elite Spirit Master Tournament."

"Based on our current investigation, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall are all outstanding individuals, among whom Captain Xie Yue has even reached the level of a Soul King of level 52, which is extremely formidable."

Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, also narrowed his eyes. If that were the case, then to achieve victory, they would have to rely on the Royal Fighting Team.

He originally thought that Shrek Academy would be the dark horse this time, but he did not expect that the strength of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be so strong, and the Spirit Hall team was also extremely powerful. The chances of winning were too small.

Emperor Xueye seemed to notice Ning Fengzhi's strange expression and slowly said, "Sect Master Ning, could it be that you have already set your sights on a certain academy?"

Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, said with a bitter smile, "Yes, I did have my eye on a high-level soul master academy, but due to special circumstances, Shrek Academy has been targeted in a special way."

"Oh?"

Emperor Xueye raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Fengzhi's position. "Who is so bold as to target an advanced soul master academy? Don't they know the rules of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

The Heaven Dou Empire has a clear rule that no Soul Master may lay a hand on a student of the academy; otherwise, they will face punishment from the empire.

Therefore, Soul Masters dare not lay a hand on the students of the academy.

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Your Majesty, this person is none other than... His Majesty Lin Yuan, a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

Upon hearing the words "Your Majesty Lin Yuan," Emperor Xue Ye's expression clearly changed, obviously not expecting that this person would be the titled Douluo powerhouse he valued most.

His Majesty Lin Yuan is the youngest Title Douluo powerhouse in the Douluo Continent, and his strength has reached its peak and become a transcendent realm. Even empires have to do everything they can to please him, let alone pose the slightest threat to him.

Emperor Xueye frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Sect Leader Ning, I cannot handle this matter..."
