Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 68 The Dropout Scandal

After leaving the auction house, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's heads were still buzzing. In the blink of an eye, they saw Ye Liangchen earn more than 200 million gold soul coins, feeling like they were dreaming.

"Little Chen, you're amazing at making money! You're a millionaire now!"

"It feels like Xiao Chen is picking up money off the ground."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling said with a smile, thinking to themselves that if any woman married this little guy, she would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of her life.

"What you two sisters said is an exaggeration. The reason why the price was so high today is because those people wanted to buy my pills to take back and study them."

Ye Liangchen didn't think it would fetch such a high price again next time, but it still exceeded his expectations.

"Xiao Chen's pills are rare. After this round of promotion by the auction house, they will definitely become very popular. The most important thing is the selling point of beauty and skin care. The reason why many buyers paid high prices for Yu Hua Dan before was because they valued it."

Dugu Bo had a very high opinion of the Jade Flower Pill. This kind of pill was very tempting to women, especially women from noble families.

"Senior Dugu, here is a card with two million gold soul coins. Please take it. The fact that the two sisters have withdrawn from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy will definitely cause a stir in the Education Committee. At that time, you can just throw money at them until they submit."

Ye Liangchen directly gave Dudubo two million gold soul coins, instructing him to handle things with the higher-ups at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Little Chen, you can't spend money like that!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at Ye Liangchen's completely unconcerned attitude and felt that this guy was a spendthrift.

"I'll take care of this. This money is what you earned through your hard work in making medicine, you can't spend it like this. Besides, I'm not short of money."

Dugu Bo felt embarrassed; this little guy was too generous.

"Senior Dugu, please take it! Now that you've joined my Tenglong Pavilion, I naturally have to take care of the two sisters' worries. Besides, money is too easy for me to earn."

"Alright then! I think 100 million is enough. After all, the two girls have only been at the academy for a few years, and they pay tuition every year."

Seeing Ye Liangchen's insistence, Dugu Bo had no choice but to take out 100 million gold soul coins, intending to use the money to knock out the higher-ups of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and see how they would react.

"If the Heaven Dou Royal Academy asks about Sister Yan and Sister Ling's whereabouts, just say they went to find a solution to their martial soul problem. Just make it up to them, and that's it..."

"Hahaha...! You've got a lot of clever ideas, kid. Now the Heavenly Dou Royal Education Committee has no reason to keep Yan Yan and Ling Ling around."

"Little Chen, you're really something!"

Dugu Bo and the two maids gave Ye Liangchen a thumbs up after hearing his method.

……

"Tap tap tap..."

The carriage carried Ye Liangchen and his group at high speed towards the Tian Dou Royal Academy. More than an hour later, they finally arrived at the Tian Dou Royal Academy.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the largest noble academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. Located 20 kilometers outside the Heaven Dou Imperial City, the academy is built against a mountain and has complete facilities, including a complete simulated training environment. It covers an incredibly large area, practically a city.

Within a few kilometers of the academy, it was almost like a bustling city, with all kinds of shops and restaurants. In Ye Liangchen's view, this was the economic zone of the Tiandou Royal Academy. These businesses relied on the academy for their livelihood and lived a very comfortable life.

"Little Chen, what are you looking at?" Dugu Yan asked curiously as the little guy beside her looked into the distance.

"I'm looking at the Royal Academy! This academy is huge," Ye Liangchen said calmly.

"The Royal Academy is the largest noble academy in the empire, with over 3000 students..."

Ye Lingling introduced the scale of the academy to Ye Liangchen, including various simulated cultivation facilities and so on.

"The academy is so big, has it produced any outstanding geniuses?" Ye Liangchen asked, feigning curiosity.

"Xiao Chen, those who enter the Royal Academy are all children of noble families, most of them are spoiled brats, lazy and good-for-nothing. To put it bluntly, those students are just wasting their time. There are no outstanding geniuses among them. In Yan Yan's year, there are only about a dozen outstanding people, but they are all only at the Soul Venerable level..."

Dugu Bo also disapproved of the academy's teaching style. Generally, when spoiled brats gather together, they do nothing but eat, drink, and have fun all day long. What kind of growth can they achieve?

When Ye Liangchen and his group arrived at the academy gate, the teacher on duty was not surprised to see Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, but was immediately shocked when he saw the changed Dugu Bo.

"Are you Senior Dugu?"

The teacher on duty was a Soul Master of level 40-something. In his memory, Dugu Bo's eyes, skin, nails, and hair were all green, and he had a poisonous smell on his body. But now he looks different. It's too strange.

"It is indeed I," Dugu Bo said calmly.

"Teacher Li, this is my cousin, a distant relative of ours. I'm bringing him to the school to meet you, is that alright?"

Dugu Yan pulled Ye Liangchen along and introduced him to the teacher on duty, even deliberately using a fake identity to fool the teacher.

"No problem, please go ahead."

The teacher on duty thought to himself, "With your grandfather's title of Douluo, no one would dare to stop him from bringing someone into the school."

"Yanyan, you take Xiaochen to the school for a look around. Grandpa has to go take care of some business."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he went straight into the academy and strode towards the Education Committee office building.

"Little Chen, come with us to the academy!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling each held Ye Liangchen's hand on either side as they entered the academy gate.

"This little guy is really lucky with the ladies!"

The teacher on duty looked at the three of them and sighed, "It's so good to be young."

Upon entering the academy, they encountered many students, who were all stunned to see Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling holding hands with a strange young man.

"Who is that person?"

"The two most beautiful girls in the academy are actually holding his hand? Ye Lingling is supposed to be an ice queen! How could this be?"

"My goddess is in love, and I'm heartbroken, ahhhhh..."

Countless students were gossiping about Ye Liangchen and his two companions. Some boys even glared at Ye Liangchen, while some boys who had a crush on Ye Lingling let out cries of despair.

"I can almost picture Yu Tianheng turning green with envy, hahaha..."

Many students who knew about Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's relationship found the scene quite amusing.

Some nosy students immediately ran to inform Yu Tianheng, which meant there would be a good show to watch.

"Sisters, you're really making me a target of hatred!"

Ye Liangchen felt countless pairs of murderous eyes staring at him from behind, and felt that the two girls were doing it on purpose, so he pulled his hands out of the two girls' arms.

"Little Chen, don't worry about these things." Dugu Yan smiled, telling the little guy not to worry.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

Dugu Yan pretended to be angry and yelled at the students.

"Yanzi, Lingling, you're back."

Just then, Yu Tianheng, Oslo and his group arrived from afar and were overjoyed to see the two women return.

"Yanzi, who is he?"

When Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Yan holding Ye Liangchen's hand, he asked curiously. Previously, a classmate had brought news that Dugu Yan had fallen in love with someone else, but Yu Tianheng did not believe it, so he came to see for himself. Suddenly, he was shocked by what he found.

"He's a distant relative of ours, he's my cousin."

Dugu Yan pretended to introduce Ye Liangchen, and then directly told everyone about dropping out of school.

"Yu Tianheng, I'm dropping out of school. Let's end things here!"

"Oh, right, Lingling also dropped out of school. My grandfather has already spoken with the education committee."

Upon hearing that the two school beauties were going to drop out of school, Yu Tianheng and his group were completely dumbfounded.

"Yanzi, Lingling, are you dropping out of school? What's going on?"

"The academy is preparing to have the seven of us form the Heaven Dou Royal Team One to compete in various Soul Arenas! And you actually want to drop out of school."

Yu Tianheng, the Shimo brothers, Oslo and others were not calm. If these two dropped out of school, what would be the point of their Soul Fighting Tournament? Especially without Ye Lingling, their support and healer, they simply couldn't play.

"Yanzi, you dropped out of school because of this kid, didn't you?"

"After all these years of relationship, how could you do this?"

"..."

Yu Tianheng stared at Dugu Yan, his anger blazing, and asked loudly.

The struggle between himself and his cousin Yu Tianxin was just beginning when Dugu Yan left. Without the Dugu family as leverage, he was at a disadvantage in the struggle for the family heir.

"It's none of his business."

"Yu Tianheng, you're just my classmate, don't raise your voice at me like that."

"Yu Tianheng, who do you think you are...?"

Looking at Yu Tianheng's furious expression, Dugu Yan felt that this guy was far inferior to her younger brother Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen always seemed calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.

Ye Liangchen stood quietly beside Ye Lingling, watching the fierce battle between Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, finding it very entertaining.

"Hey! Bro, you're something else! You've already managed to snatch away two of our school's most beautiful girls right off the bat."

"My name is Oslo, what's your name, brother?"

Oslo approached Ye Liangchen and asked with a gossipy look on his face. This guy was an optimist, looking like he was enjoying watching a show.

"My name is Lan Chen."

"Brother Ao, I'm just friends with these two senior girls, there's nothing between us. Don't say anything out of line, it would ruin their reputations, that wouldn't be good."

Ye Liangchen calmly remarked that he found Oslo quite amusing.

"So that's how it is, Lingling, don't be offended!" Oslo didn't know if it was true or not, so he could only apologize to Ye Lingling.

"It's alright," Ye Lingling said calmly, maintaining her aloof demeanor.

After arguing with Dugu Yan for a while, Yu Tianheng pointed the finger at Ye Liangchen, believing that it must be this kid who was behind it.

"Kid, Yanzi dropping out of school must be related to you. Let's have a fight. If I lose, I'm out."

Yu Tianheng directly challenged Ye Liangchen. His girlfriend had run off with someone else, which made him feel very frustrated and he wanted to fight.

"Wow! This is going to be interesting." Everyone watched the scene with expressions of amusement.

"Yu Tianheng, what are you doing?"

Dugu Yan stood in front of Ye Liangchen, afraid that if this guy started fighting, he would expose his martial soul.

"Sister Yan, calm down." Ye Liangchen waved his hand, telling Dugu not to worry.

"Your name is Yu Tianheng, a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, a level 39 Soul Master."

"Sister Ling, how old is this guy this year?"

Ye Liangchen calmly said something, then turned to Ye Lingling and asked about Yu Tianheng's age.

"18 years old," Ye Lingling said softly.

"You only reached level 39 at 18? Yu Tianheng, you're hopeless!"

"I once met a guy in Soto City whose martial soul was the Evil-Eyed White Tiger. He was only about 15 years old and often took the twins to the Rose Hotel to discuss issues of human development, but his soul power had already reached level 37."

Ye Liangchen felt that Yu Tianheng's innate soul power had reached at least level 8, and he was in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, occupying such good resources. It didn't seem like much that he had only cultivated to level 39 at the age of 18.

"Hahahaha...! Bro! You're really something, turning a hotel room booking into a discussion about human development."

Oslo, Yufeng, and the others were amused by Ye Liangchen's words.

"Yu Tianheng, you want to fight me, and you even said you'd quit if you lost. What do you take Sister Yan for?"

"A genius disciple of the prestigious Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and this is all he's got?"

Ye Liangchen calmly stared at Yu Tianheng's furious expression, thinking that the other party was only level 39, and he could easily crush him without even using his martial spirit.

"Boy, you have insulted my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Today, you must fight me."

When Yu Tianheng heard Ye Liangchen say that he was inferior to the White Tiger Soul Master, how could he, as a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, bear it?

"Alright! Since you want to fight, then let's fight! I won't use my Martial Soul. If you can force me to use my Martial Soul, then I'll consider it a loss."

Looking at Yu Tianheng's exasperated expression, Ye Liangchen realized that his comment that the other party was inferior to the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Soul Master had been an insult to him.

"Without a martial spirit?" Osro and the others were dumbfounded, feeling that Ye Liangchen was too arrogant.

"Little Chen, this is too risky." Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling didn't know the little guy's true strength and were afraid something would happen to him.

"Don't worry, sisters, let's go to the school's arena!" Ye Liangchen told the two girls not to worry, as the opponent was only level 39, just a little kid.

"Lan Chen, is it? I, Yu Tianheng, have never seen such an arrogant genius as you. Then let's meet on the school's Soul Fighting Arena."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen was fighting him without using his martial spirit, Yu Tianheng felt that Ye Liangchen was looking down on him.

The group headed towards the academy's Soul Fighting Arena, with many onlookers following along to see what would happen.
