Douluo Continent: Evil Flames Burn the Heavens, a Blessed Start with Many Children

Lu Heqiu glanced at Tang Ya.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't even sent these guys to deal with the soul beasts yet, and he hadn't done anything to Tang Ya either. Tang Ya's breakthrough at this time... was it because of him?

"When did you reach level 29?"

Upon hearing Lu Heqiu's question, Tang Ya, who had been quite proud, immediately lowered her head. She had come over excitedly wanting to share her joy with Lu Heqiu, but Lu Heqiu's words made her feel somewhat inferior.

Compared to her peers, her talent is not considered particularly good.

It took me several months to break through to this level.

She really doesn't have much talent.

"...a few months ago."

"But don't worry, Teacher Lu, I will work even harder. The Tang Clan leader... doesn't necessarily need to be a strong person to lead him, as long as he can lead the Tang Clan to glory!"

Tang Ya clearly misunderstood Lu Heqiu's meaning. Lu Heqiu already knew about her talent; he was only asking her about the time of her last breakthrough to confirm the timeline of the second stage of the Dou Divine Realm.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"However, we are about to enter the mixed zone to search for soul beasts. There may not be any that are suitable for you. If you are really unlucky, I will take you to the outer area alone. It won't take long."

"Go and cooperate with Beibei and the others."

Lu Heqiu gave a brief explanation, and Tang Ya's eyes lit up with hope again. She nodded heavily and ran towards Bei Bei and the others, looking even more cheerful than before.

When Beibei saw Tang Ya approaching, her joy intensified, and she unleashed her soul skills even faster as she charged towards the thousand-year-old soul beasts that appeared around her.

This process, with students leading the way, serves both as a training opportunity and a chance for Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi to demonstrate their abilities.

These guys couldn't have come here just to watch a show, could they?

That would be somewhat unreasonable for Lu Heqiu on the surface.

After all, he came here under the guise of training outstanding students, not to bring this group of students here as a sightseeing tour.

......

It lasted for a full seven days.

This team advances several miles towards the mixed zone every day, and the whole team is very cautious. There's no other way, as the soul beasts on the outer perimeter can hardly meet the needs of the remaining two students.

They can only keep going deeper into the mixed zone.

This does indeed violate the promise made to Duvilen.

But Ma Xiaotao also had something to say.

It was Lu Heqiu who made the promise, not Ma Xiaotao. What does Du Weilun's instruction have to do with her? She's not a teacher in the foreign language department. Du Weilun didn't say anything like that to her, and she didn't hear it.

Lu Heqiu initially objected twice, but since he couldn't find a suitable soul beast, he acquiesced to Ma Xiaotao's approach, and the team headed towards the mixed zone.

Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe, who were secretly protecting the team, watched as the group stepped into the mixed zone and gently shook their heads.

"These two little guys are so daring."

"Without the protection of a Contra-level expert, they dared to step into the mixed zone. I'll have to teach them a lesson when we get back!"

Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly as he looked at the two little ones. This was his incompetence as a teacher, since these two little ones were his disciples, yet they had not learned his composure.

On the contrary, they were all more irritable than the last.

The old man held a piece of soul beast meat that appeared out of nowhere, roasted until golden brown and oozing with oil. He tore off a piece with his teeth and said nonchalantly, "Let them be. This is how you learn to remember things."

"We just need to make our move at the last minute."

"Don't act too soon, lest they forget their lesson."

"Hmm... If that kid Lu Heqiu really uses his fifth spirit ring or higher, we have to stop him, otherwise something bad will happen. He already has enough evil fire in his body, and if he goes into another all-out battle, he might lose his mind!"

"By the way, this kid is really strange. At least Xiao Tao only accumulates a lot of evil fire in her body when she's fighting; the increase is almost negligible at other times. But this kid... his body increases even when he's not doing anything?"

"You'd better get Xiao Tao to reconcile with him as soon as possible, otherwise, this kid might really get into trouble!"

Even Elder Xuan felt a sense of unease. This kid did seem a bit strange. The evil fire on his body was growing wildly every day, making Elder Xuan, who used to not care what the students did, start to hesitate.

Yan Shaozhe also saw this situation, but he was also helpless. Even if this kid didn't make a move, the evil fire in his body was rising. What could they do?

This growth rate is much faster than Ma Xiaotao's. Even if it is brought back to Shrek Academy, it will probably be difficult to suppress it with the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. We can only wait and see.

What they didn't know was that the reason Lu Heqiu's internal fire was rising was because Jiang Nannan would sit next to him and sleep every night, occasionally resting her head on his body.

At that height, the chasm in front of Jiang Nannan could be seen clearly. How could the evil fire in her body not rise?

It would be strange if it didn't go up!

"Let's wait and see!"

"Isn't Ma Xiaotao here?"

"If it's just Lu Heqiu's evil fire reaching its limit, she might not take the initiative to help Lu Heqiu. But what if both of their evil fires reach their limits? At that time, the two irrational guys can complement each other perfectly."

As he spoke, Elder Xuan took another big bite of the soul beast meat in his hand. His meaning was clear: rather than letting Lu Heqiu be suppressed by the cold energy after returning home, unable to cultivate or fight, it was better to vent his anger here once and for all.

Besides, it's not like the two of them haven't done this kind of thing before!

If the Sea God Pavilion hadn't taken the initiative to close its doors last time, these two little guys might have actually put on a live sex show in front of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion!

Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, but ultimately did not refute Elder Xuan's decision, because he could not find a suitable reason to refute it. If Lu Heqiu really unleashed his evil fire, what could they do even if they were in the academy?

Find a female student for Lu Heqiu?

Do not make jokes.

Even if the entire Sea God Pavilion agrees to this proposal, if word gets out that Shrek Academy won't be able to recruit female students for at least thirty years, who would be willing to send their child to such a place?

An academy is ultimately just an academy.

Moreover, as Ma Xiaotao was making her move without regard for anything else, the evil fire within her body was also accumulating, just not as fast as Lu Heqiu's!

......

The squad advanced another thirty miles.

They officially entered the mixed zone and completed the fourth spirit rings of their two junior brothers. These were spirit rings of about five thousand years, which were already the limit of the fourth spirit ring limit.

This trip...

It was a successful outcome!

"Let's get ready to go."

"I have a feeling that something's not quite right."

Lu Heqiu looked into the depths of the forest and spoke. This sixth sense made him uneasy, like a warning from his martial spirit, or perhaps...

Fear?!
