Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

"Qian San." Tang San clenched his fists tightly.

"Regardless of whether you come from another world or not, as long as I possess this power of devouring and am under the test of the evil god, your secrets will be thoroughly uncovered by me sooner or later."

On that day, you are destined to be trampled under my feet, never to be reborn!

......

Tiandou City

After the morning assembly whistle blew, everyone noticed that one person was missing from the group. Zhu Muhei was gone. His room was empty, without a single personal belonging, clearly indicating that he had fled under cover of darkness.

Faced with this situation, the atmosphere within the team was strangely calm.

There was no surprise, no anger, not even a single unnecessary discussion. It was as if Zhu Muhei's departure was just a trivial matter.

Zhao Youji remained calm. "They're just insignificant people; we don't need to pay them any mind. Everyone, continue with the training as planned. The Continental High-Level Soul Master Tournament is just around the corner; no one is allowed to slack off!"

Everyone responded in unison and lined up to head to the academy's playground.

However, a farce was unfolding on the edge of the playground today.

"Wild Goose...Wild Goose, I beg you, don't go! Don't leave me!"

A male voice, filled with despair and sobbing, echoed across the open space.

Yu Tianheng, who was once the captain of the Royal Fighting Team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, is now kneeling on the ground without any dignity.

He clung tightly to Dugu Yan's leg, tears and snot mingling and covering his distorted face, making him look nothing like the proud prodigy he once was.

"Yu Tianheng, stop bothering me." Dugu Yan tried to pull her leg away forcefully, her face extremely pale, her tone cold and resolute.

"It's over between us. We're completely incompatible. Save yourself some dignity!"

"Not suitable? We were almost engaged!" Yu Tianheng cried out in despair, his hands gripping Dugu Yan's skirt as if he were drowning.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng had long since lost all his former pride.

He is now a complete eunuch!

And now, even his last lifeline—Dugu Yan—is heartlessly abandoning him.

Looking at Yu Tianheng at her feet, crying his heart out and utterly devoid of any manly dignity, Dugu Yan felt a faint pang of pity.

After all, they were once partners who fought side by side and had a relationship.

However, reason told her that reality was cruel.

Grandpa has already told her everything. If she continues to get involved with Yu Tianheng, she will drag the Dugu family into an abyss of no return sooner or later.

The current situation leaves no room for her to show any womanly compassion.

"Let go!" Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and suddenly unleashed a burst of soul power, directly knocking Yu Tianheng to the ground.

Just then, Dugu Yan noticed the members of the Klein team walking towards the playground out of the corner of her eye.

Upon seeing Qian San and Xiao Qing walking at the front of the group, Dugu Yan's expression instantly changed.

She took a deep breath and used the opportunity to completely get rid of Yu Tianheng on the ground. She quickly went to meet him and humbly lowered her head.

"Qian San... Xiao Qing."

"I was blinded by greed before, and I have felt guilty these past few days. I have waited here today specifically to sincerely apologize to you all and ask for your punishment!"

Qian San stopped in his tracks, showing no intention of speaking.

Xiao Qing stepped forward and quietly observed the obsequious Dugu Yan before her.

In the [Inner Realm], Dugu Yan is her best friend.

Dugu Yan from the inner realm is straightforward and passionate, and the two have developed a deep friendship through training and competition together.

However, looking at Dugu Yan from the [Original World] before her, Xiao Qing felt no emotion whatsoever.

The surface world is the surface world; the people and things here, even if they look exactly the same, are not the same.

Xiaoqing showed no hostility, but neither did she show any affection; she simply nodded.

"What's past is past, you don't need to worry about it, we have no interest in dwelling on it."

After saying that, Xiaoqing didn't even look at Dugu Yan again, nor did she pay attention to Yu Tianheng, who was crying bitterly on the ground.

She turned around and walked straight to their training area with Qian San and the rest of the Klein team.

Only Dugu Yan remained standing in the wind, her expression complex, while Yu Tianheng lay on the ground, convulsing in despair...

......

Inside the training field.

Franya stood quietly on the high platform with her arms crossed, her gaze sweeping over the team members below who were engaged in high-intensity combat training.

Although everyone performed very well, Franya's brows furrowed slightly.

Zhu Muhei fled overnight. Emotionally speaking, she had no regrets at all. On the contrary, she felt that the team had lost a pair of eyes that might turn against them at any time, and the air had become much cleaner.

However, from a practical tactical perspective, this is indeed a problem.

The All-Continent Elite Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academies has a strict format, requiring participating teams to have a complete starting lineup of seven players, plus substitutes.

Although the core strength of Team Kleish is now enough to overwhelm those of the same level, the lack of numbers is ultimately a tactical weakness that cannot be ignored in the long course and the series of battles.

"With little time left before the tournament starts, where can we find another player to fill the vacancy?"

Franya secretly made her own plans.

In ordinary high-level soul master academies, those so-called geniuses are simply not worth her attention. If she wants to find monsters who can fight alongside Qian San and Xiao Qing, she can only poach people from those academies that truly have a strong foundation.

"Since we can't find any ready-made ones, let's just take these little monsters and challenge each of the high-level academies around Heaven Dou City!"

A smile appeared on Franya's lips.

"Challenging" other schools, also known as "academic exchanges," is a way to hone skills through competition. It not only allows team members to quickly develop teamwork in real combat and gain a better understanding of the various colleges, but it is also the most direct way to test their abilities.

Break through their main force, and if you spot a promising talent on the field, extend an olive branch to Clayshire Academy.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, power is the best asset, and there will always be smart people willing to make the right choice.

After making up her mind, Franya quickly scanned through the various academies surrounding the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Soon, her attention was focused on a particular target—Tianshui Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academyes.

Tianshui Academy only admits female Soul Masters with water and ice attributes, and has a profound history.

More importantly, Shui Bing'er, the captain of Tianshui Academy this generation, is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses a top-tier beast spirit—the Ice Phoenix.

Upon thinking of the word "phoenix," Franya's gaze naturally fell upon Niu Lanjun on the playground.

Looking at Niu Lanjun, Fulanya's gaze softened considerably, revealing a deep affection in her eyes that of an elder looking at their own child.

Niu Lanjun was the first among this group of students to arrive at the Clayth Academy.

He was practically raised by Franya from a young age; although they were teacher and student, their relationship was extremely deep.

Among this group of monsters with diverse personalities, Niu Lanjun is a special case.

He lacked Qian San's cunning and scheming, Xiao Qing's aloofness, and Dai Zhuqing's icy coldness that kept people at arm's length.

His personality is just like his martial spirit, the [Water Phoenix].

上善若水，利万物而不争。
