Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Why are you all so late!"

Looking at the team members who arrived late, Qin Ming said with dissatisfaction, "How can we become a strong team if everyone violates discipline?"

The team members all looked disheveled.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and both looked listless.

Yu Feng was still a little drunk from drinking several glasses of red wine, and he stared at Shi Guang with hazy eyes.

The Wang brothers and Ye Lingling were also unusually late; the girl's face was flushed, clearly a side effect of drinking.

As always, time arrived on the playground on time, and he looked to be in good spirits.

He disliked drinking and forbade the two girls from drinking, so he wasn't interested in the drinking segment at the end of the party.

After dancing last night, having shed his negative emotions, he reluctantly escorted the two girls back to their temporary hotel.

Therefore, as the only student present who hadn't been drinking, he attracted Qin Ming's attention.

"Can't you all learn from Shi Guang? He can lead two little girls in dancing all by himself and still arrive on time every minute."

Qin Ming said with a hint of sarcasm that he was also present last night.

He had witnessed both Oslo's fighting prowess, which was far superior to his own, and his dance moves on stage.

In the end, Shi Guang left the scene alone with two little girls. It was unbelievable that he could get up so early.

As for why Qin Ming got up so early, it was because he was the one being toasted; he only raised his glass and drank very little.

Everyone reacted differently upon hearing this. Yu Tianheng glanced at Shi Guang in surprise, while Yu Feng pouted listlessly...

"You all better be alert!"

Qin Ming clapped his hands to draw their attention to him before speaking, "We're heading to Soto City today to prepare for the seven-person tournament."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became slightly more serious.

Yu Feng looked dejected, like a drowned rat, lacking her usual liveliness. Dugu Yan glanced at her worriedly and said:

"Haven't we already obtained the Gold Battle Spirit Badge? What's the point of going any further?"

"You have indeed achieved the Gold Soul Badge, so there's no need for you to go to the Soul Arena anymore."

Qin Ming paused for a moment and said, "But I have found you a strong team, which is a good opportunity to test your current strength and team cohesion."

If you lose this battle, you'll come back and undergo intensive training! The mimicry device must be used every single day!

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted, and they all nodded in agreement.

Qin Ming had rented several carriages in advance, and the group headed to Soto City.

After a short while, the weary travelers arrived in Soto City.

"Ugh!" Yu Feng seemed to be carsick due to being drunk and the bumpy ride, and vomited loudly after getting out of the car.

The person closest to her stepped forward and patted her on the back, but was pushed away by Yu Feng.

Shi Guang glanced at the group of people whose expressions were not good, and seeing that they were not paying attention to this, she whispered something to Yu Feng.

Yu Feng's eyes lit up. She glanced at Shi Guang and let him pat her back. Her complexion improved a lot.

"Alright, we'll stay here for the day. You guys need to get some rest."

Qin Ming said, "Tomorrow I want you all to be in top form for the match! Do you understand?"

The crowd responded listlessly, and Qin Ming shook his head, announced the end of the meeting, and left.

Time knew he had gone to find Flanders.

Qin Ming, after leaving Shrek Academy, seemed to have been mentally imprinted, becoming a loyal dog forever biased towards Shrek Academy.

Looking at the future development of Douluo Continent, without exception, all the Soul Masters who came from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect became fanatical worshippers of Tang San.

Time couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had entered Shrek Academy back then, would he have been brainwashed in the end? It was truly terrifying.

After Qin Ming left, the group decided to stay overnight at the best hotel in the area.

On the way, Yu Feng and Shi Guang were at the back of the group. Yu Feng looked at Shi Guang curiously and asked, "How did you know I'm a girl?"

Just now, Shiguang quietly told her that he knew her gender and that nothing had happened between him and the two girls yesterday.

Yu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't know why she had acted this way.

Seeing Shi Guang hugging and cuddling other girls would inexplicably make him feel uncomfortable.

Especially now that she's dressed as a man, she really has a lot of unspeakable suffering to share.

"My mental strength is stronger than that of other Soul Masters at the same stage; I can sense the disguise in your voice."

If Shi Guang hadn't read the manga, he wouldn't know that Yu Feng's gender was a disguise; he was standing on the shoulders of giants, possessing the ability to foresee the future.

"I see!" Yu Feng didn't doubt it, but said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean to hide my identity from you, I just came here to study without my grandfather's knowledge."

"You're hiding this from your grandfather?" Shi Guang asked, feigning curiosity. "Doesn't your grandfather want you to attend school here?"

"Well, he would prefer me to study within the family, but I don't like that atmosphere in the family."

Yu Feng hesitated before saying, "Actually... my name isn't Yu Feng, it's just an alias."

"My real name is... Bai Chenxiang..." she said shyly.

"Bai Chenxiang?" Shi Guang said with interest, "So your martial spirit isn't real after all?"

"Yes, my martial soul, the Wind Chime Bird, is a disguised martial soul; its real name is the Sharp-tailed Swift."

Yu Feng lowered his head and rubbed his hands together like a fly.

"Oh, that explains why your martial spirit doesn't match the Wind Chime Bird martial spirit described in the book."

Shi Guang nodded and said, as information about Bai Chenxiang came to mind.

Bai Chenxiang is the granddaughter of Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, one of the four major clans affiliated with the Haotian Sect.

He initially disguised himself as Yu Feng to participate in the competition, but was expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy due to a defect in his martial soul, which prevented him from reaching the Soul Master level. After returning to his family, he was able to continue cultivating through the Food Ring and Ring Exchange.

However, he also lost his memories as a wind rider, and a sun-shaped mark appeared on his face. Later, due to memory damage and physical limitations, he stopped at the Soul Saint level.

But now she has a good relationship with Shiguang, and Shiguang will not stand idly by and watch this memory of her as Yufeng disappear.

Moreover, with the future treasure trove of immortal herbs, the Swift-tailed Martial Soul might evolve with the blessing of these herbs.

"When are you going to tell everyone the truth?" Shi Guang asked.

"I don't know... I feel like my relationship with them isn't actually that good."

Yu Feng thought for a moment and said seriously, "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been honest with them until graduation."

As she spoke, the girl looked at him shyly.

Dugu Yan, who was chatting with Yu Tianheng, turned around and looked at the shy Yu Feng and the smiling Shi Guang, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes:

"We can't delay any longer. I need to talk to Shiguang in a bit. It's not right for two grown men to be acting like this!"

Dugu Yan made up her mind, but she didn't know what awaited her.
