At the same time, Xue Qinghe's heart was also in turmoil.

She carefully examined Qian San in front of her.

The boy's features did indeed resemble his father's.

But what shocked her even more was that Qian San's features and expression faintly resembled Bibi Dong!

The only difference was that the Bibi Dong in her memory was cold, vicious, and inhuman, while the Qian San in front of her had the same qualities as Bibi Dong, but was gentle and kind.

"Could it be that in that world, that woman was a gentle person?" Xue Qinghe wondered to herself, but she knew now was not the time to ask. She forcibly suppressed her shock and resumed her gentle and refined image as the crown prince.

"You must be tired from your journey. Follow me, I've already taken care of the formalities." Xue Qinghe turned and led the way.

After settling everyone into the exclusive dormitory of the Tiandou Second Team, Qian San and Xiao Qing stayed behind to talk with Xue Qinghe.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young." Xue Qinghe looked at the two and praised them without reservation.

Qian San responded politely. Xue Qinghe asked, "What are your plans next? Will you continue attending classes at the academy?"

Qian San shook his head: "Our team members haven't had much time to gel. We might travel around and compete in various arenas to gain experience."

Xue Qinghe nodded in agreement:

"Practice makes perfect. Once your teacher returns, we can start making arrangements."

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open. Franya and Zhao Youji, having obtained their spirit rings, rushed back to the academy.

Since Qian Xunji had already implanted information about the outside world into Franya's mind, she naturally knew that the person in front of her was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

She stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need for formalities." Xue Qinghe looked at Fulanya and Zhao Youji, his eyes narrowing slightly.

She could clearly sense the soul power fluctuations emanating from these two individuals; they were both Soul Douluos, and not just ordinary Soul Douluos.

Xue Qinghe looked at Flanda and asked the same question: "Teachers, what are your plans regarding the children's cultivation?"

Franya stated bluntly, "Your Highness, we plan to take them to various Soul Arenas within the Heaven Dou Empire for Soul Battles first. This will allow us to hone the team's skills and improve their combat abilities as quickly as possible."

Xue Qinghe nodded: "That's a good idea. Within the Heaven Dou Empire, if you need anything done or encounter any trouble, feel free to contact me."

After saying that, Xue Qinghe took out a token symbolizing the Crown Prince's identity and handed it to Franya.

Then, she walked up to Qian San and, using her body as cover, quietly slipped another private token into his hand, giving him a meaningful look.

Afterwards, Xue Qinghe left the dormitory, citing busy official business.

After Xue Qinghe left, Franya didn't stay idle. She went directly to visit the teaching committee of Tiandou Royal Academy to inquire about the current situation of the academy.

With her level 83 Soul Douluo strength as evidenced by her presence, the Education Commission treated her with great respect and answered all her questions without reservation.

Soon, Franya returned with a message.

"I've found out now," Franya said, gathering everyone in the hall.

"The first team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not currently at the academy. They have gone on a journey to various Soul Arenas to practice their teamwork."

A glint of light flashed in Franya's eyes.

As the team leader, she was now full of confidence and had great faith in these little monsters. Since the original first team had gone out to train, their new second team naturally couldn't fall behind.

"This is a great opportunity." Franya looked at everyone and gave the order.

"Everyone, take a good rest in the dorms today. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. Destination: The Great Soul Arena!"

......

Shrek Academy.

Tang San's back injury has finally healed almost completely.

During this period, because Tang San was bedridden and unable to participate in the early special training, the overall cohesion of the Shrek team was much worse than expected, and the team was missing a core member who could unite everyone as one.

That morning, Yu Xiaogang gathered everyone on the playground and announced the next steps.

"We will be changing the format of our upcoming special training," Yu Xiaogang said, looking at everyone.

"Starting today, training and combat will alternate. One day we'll stay at the academy for physical conditioning and tactical coordination, and the other day we'll go to the Soto Grand Arena for combat.

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

Tang San, standing in the group, clenched his fists. He had been confined to bed to recover from his injuries, which had severely hampered his cultivation progress. The humiliation of having his Eight Spider Lances stolen lingered in his mind.

After the group disbanded, he didn't rest at all and immediately threw himself into a vengeful, frenzied training regimen, trying to make up for the lost time.

......

Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire.

Not long after Huang Tian jumped into the depths of the Ice and Fire Spring, the poison array on the outer perimeter suddenly surged, and a foul wind swept by.

A cold, sharp shout rang out:

"Who dares to trespass into my herb garden?!"

As the green poisonous gas dissipated, Dugu Bo revealed himself, staring intently at Qian Xunji standing by the spring.

Qian Xunji remained completely calm. She put on her mask without even activating her defenses, and simply turned her head to give him a calm look.

"Did you see the antidote I left here last time?"

The murderous aura emanating from Dugu Bo instantly froze.

He immediately recalled what had happened some time ago.

When he returned to the herb garden, he found that all his precious medicinal herbs had been looted, but the looters had left behind a method of detoxification, which described how to use soul bones to store toxins in the body.

He tried many times to adjust the auxiliary medicinal materials, and finally succeeded. The backlash from the deadly poison that had tormented him for many years was indeed greatly reduced.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the man in front of him was the mysterious person who had robbed the herb garden but had also indirectly saved his life.

Dugu Bo forced himself to calm down.

He carefully sensed Qian Xunji's aura and found that there was no soul power fluctuation on the other party.

However, this is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. He was right by the spring, and even he had to use his soul power to resist the extreme cold and heat while standing there. Yet the person in front of him was completely unharmed, just like an ordinary person.

This only proves that the opponent's strength far exceeds one's imagination.

Dugu Bo immediately composed himself and bowed slightly.

"So it's you, senior. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace; I will never forget it. If you need anything, please just let me know."

Qian Xunji looked at him and shook his head: "That method of storing poison in the soul bone only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. The capacity of the soul bone is limited, and it will eventually fill up. If you want to fundamentally solve your problem of poison backlash, you must work on your martial soul."

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly:

"Senior is too kind. How easy is it to evolve a martial soul? I am already very content to have obtained the antidote and saved my own and my granddaughter's lives."

Qian Xunji couldn't help but laugh when she saw his helpless and resigned look.

"Old poisoner, old poisoner," Qian Xunji said casually, "You're still so open-minded."

Dugu Bo was completely stunned.

The way he called him "Old Poisoner" came out so naturally, like he'd known him for years.

He looked Qian Xunji up and down, then asked hesitantly:

"Senior...do we know each other before?"
