In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 132 Whose subordinate is this?

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy covers a vast area, encompassing an entire nearby mountain, a lake, and a forest. Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has the conditions to build numerous simulated training grounds, and the campus environment is also extremely prosperous.

Yinlan also has her own residence at the Tiandou Royal Academy, located next to a pool on the side of the mountain. Not far away is a sparse but vibrant forest, and the beautiful scenery and fresh air are invigorating.

To be honest, Yin Lan had hardly ever stayed in this place. If Yin Lan wanted to rest and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, she would stay in her own property in Tian Dou City or stay at the Dugu family's place.

Back then, the four guardian lion douluo gave her a lot of properties, all of which were prime properties in key locations in major cities on the mainland. Yinlan not only had a place to stay in Tiandou City, but also a place to live in Xingluo City.

Although Yinlan didn't need the residence arranged for her by the academy, Meng Shenji and the other two couldn't refuse. This was part of the social etiquette. Even though Yinlan had only visited the academy a few times, servants would often come to clean the environment to ensure it was clean.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling led Yin Lan and the others around the academy for a while, and after getting a general feel for the environment of the main campus, they temporarily came to Yin Lan's courtyard at midday to solve the problem of lunch.

After lunch break, once the scorching sun outside had cooled down, Yinlan finally woke up from her meditation. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling planned to take Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing for a few more walks around the school, as they hadn't yet visited the back mountain of the academy.

Yinlan understood why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were so keen on taking Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing around the school. Firstly, the daily cultivation life was indeed too oppressive, and they wanted to relax. Secondly, Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing were freshmen who knew nothing about the academy. Even if they were just registered students and wouldn't come to the academy often, they should at least know what their alma mater was like.

Finally, it serves as a reminder to the noble children in the academy, letting them know that these two new students are from Yinlan, lest those scoundrels have any improper thoughts and provoke Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing, and deserve to be punished afterward.

Indeed, this was the case. When Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling introduced the academy in the morning, many noble children didn't even dare to look at them, let alone approach them, for fear of offending the group. Only a few students who had a good impression of Yinlan would greet them when they passed by.

It's no wonder Yinlan looks down on those spoiled brats. They have no ability or talent, but they all consider themselves extraordinary. They look down on this person and that person all day long, and they can't wait to look down on others. They have no confidence in their arrogance, but they are incredibly arrogant. They don't even take Meng Shenji and the other two Soul Douluo seriously, just because the three of them are from commoner backgrounds. They have no sense that their "noble" titles come from their fathers.

The problem is that your fathers weren't necessarily more powerful than Meng Shenji and the other two. There are less than two hundred Soul Douluos in the entire continent, and nearly 70% of them belong to the Spirit Hall. The remaining 30% are from the two great empires combined. After removing members from various sects, how come your family just happens to have a Soul Douluo?

If every noble family in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could produce a Soul Douluo, the Star Luo Empire would have been crushed by the Heaven Dou Empire long ago. Why would Xue Ye be so afraid of everything? Even the Spirit Hall would have to think twice about having that many Soul Douluos.

In a world where extraordinary beings exist and power reigns supreme, the existence of feudalism, where the highest level of feudal power is not even held by the strongest extraordinary beings, seems rather absurd. If the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Star Luo Royal Family had Limit Douluo, Yin Lan could understand it, but the problem is that you don't even have that kind of power.

Lacking the strength of the strong, yet suffering from their ailments, this perfectly describes the incompetent noble children of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The only place left in the academy to visit is the back mountain, which is a specially planned campus and an independent training ground built by the academy specifically for the Royal Fighting Team. There are also multiple simulated training grounds there.

This is also the most secluded place in the academy, in order to prevent the Royal Fighting Team's training plan from being leaked and to hide the team's strength.

Of course, it's the training ground for the Royal Fighting Team One, since the Royal Fighting Team One is the true core of the academy.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling planned to introduce Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing to the other members of the team. Although they could only be considered friends with the other team members, they would be teammates on the field in the future.

Upon arriving at the back mountain, Yinlan couldn't help but frown.

The back mountain of the academy felt very spacious. Looking around, all you could see was a field with a running track around the perimeter. There were benches for people to rest at the edge of the field, while the center of the field was a stone-paved ground with various battle marks left behind, obviously left by the fighting spirits of the team members.

In a corner of the venue, fitness equipment such as barbells, horizontal bars, parallel bars, and iron balls, as well as training equipment such as rotating stick targets and wooden dummy, were piled together, and they seemed to be covered in dust.

In the training field, five figures were running along the track one after another, at different speeds, but all of them were panting heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat.

Leading the group was a handsome young man, dressed in blue with a slender build. Although his facial expression changed little, it was still clear that he was exhausted, and his shoulder-length black hair clung tightly to his neck.

Not far behind him were two young men with straight noses, square mouths, and strong builds, who looked exactly alike. They were clearly twin brothers, supporting each other as they walked with difficulty.

At the very end of the running group were two blond youths. One was short, dressed in a white shirt with crystal decorations, and had a handsome face. He was covered in black clothes, and both of them were covered in sweat, clearly about to fall behind.

It was clear that these people were running purely on their physical abilities, without using their soul power. Not long after Yinlan and the others arrived at the training ground, the blue-clad youth at the head of the group actually increased his speed again, even lapping over the others and running to the front of the group once more.

"Hmm? Sister Lan!"

The arrival of the group finally attracted the attention of the people who were running laps. The young man in white at the very end of the group stopped running, forced a smile, and waved to Yin Lan in greeting.

"Second... Sister Lan." The young man in black next to the young man in white also stopped and greeted Yin Lan politely.

Yin Lan frowned and nodded slightly in response, then quickly walked to the corner where various facilities were piled up, wiped her finger with it, and rubbed off the dust that was stuck to her finger.

The equipment hadn't been idle for very long, less than a month. Yin Lan's brows relaxed a little, and she gave a cold laugh. She roughly knew what was going on.

"Yu Feng! Oslo! What's wrong with you two?" A cold male voice shouted from the arena. "Didn't I tell you? Don't stop until you're exhausted!"

The speaker was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. He had an ordinary appearance, dressed simply, and his face was full of authority.

"I can't take it anymore..." The young man in white stuck out his tongue and plopped down on the ground. "Teacher Qin Ming, it's time to rest. Look, even the leopard can't hold on any longer."

The young man in black beside him didn't speak, but he also stopped running, responding to Qin Ming with his actions.

When the twin brothers ahead of them saw their companion stop, they also unconsciously slowed down and changed from running to walking briskly.

"You're all spoiled brats! You've never experienced hardship!" Qin Ming's brows furrowed, his tone cold and hard. "Your teacher, I cultivated in dire circumstances from a young age, enduring countless hardships to forge my bones and temper my will, finally reaching the cultivation level of a high-level Soul King at the age of thirty-four. You are still young; time is money. How can you be so lazy!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help but grin. No matter what Qin Ming said, he really didn't have the strength to get up again. Their agility-based attacks relied on explosive speed, so it was normal for them to have poor stamina. That's why he and Oslo were at the end of the group.

Oslo completely ignored Qin Ming's words. He had run away because he didn't want to stay in the Spirit Hall Academy and compete with those freaks. If he continued to compete here, wouldn't he have come all this way for nothing?

He was already content to have bumped into the Second Miss and been given a little guidance by her. The idea of ​​him being "slicked up" was utter nonsense. He never expected to become some powerful figure who could command the wind and rain. In any case, the Second Miss had said that as long as he cultivated normally, he would be qualified to receive a title, which was enough for him.

"Look at Tian Heng!" Qin Ming continued his incessant chatter, reaching out to stop the blue-clad youth who was still running. "Striving to reach your full potential and not wasting cultivation time—that's the role model for you young Soul Masters!"

"You flatter me, Teacher Qin Ming!" Yu Tianheng responded respectfully to Qin Ming's praise with an air of respect for his teacher, but his eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Dugu Yan not far away.

"But I'm very dissatisfied with your performance!" Qin Ming suddenly changed his tone, his voice turning icy again. "Yu Tianheng, you're a team! Do you know what's most important for a team? Unity! How could you just abandon your teammates and leave them behind?"

"Teacher Qin Ming, I..." Yu Tianheng's face stiffened. Qin Ming's face changed without warning, and he hadn't even reacted yet. One second Qin Ming was praising him, and the next second he was being berated.

"You saw a girl coming, huh? You want to show off like that?" Qin Ming coldly exposed his little scheme. "You think you're so capable? Trying to lap your teammates? Since you have so much energy, run a few more laps! Don't stop until you're exhausted!"

Yu Tianheng's face turned bright red from Qin Ming's words, and his expression stiffened. Qin Ming had hit the nail on the head, and he didn't know how to refute it. He could only nod sullenly and continue running.

"Who put my equipment here?" Yinlan's voice suddenly came from a distance, from where the equipment was piled up.

"I put those things there. They're all just pretty but useless decorations. They can't help you maximize your body's potential at all," Qin Ming said coldly, glancing over. "Anyway, you guys don't come to the Royal Fighting Team often, so you don't need these things. They're just taking up space."

Meng Shenji and the other two did indeed inform Qin Ming in advance how to deal with Yin Lan, but Qin Ming's own understanding created a subtle problem.

He regarded Yin Lan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling as spoiled and willful people who were excessively pampered by their elders. With titled Douluo elders as their backers, how could the education committee not remind him to be cautious?

In his eyes, Yinlan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were just like the other aristocratic children in the academy, only knowing how to indulge in debauchery by relying on their elders' influence.

But who is Qin Ming? He is a "monster" from Shrek Academy, a legendary figure in the world of Soul Masters! He has always possessed the "arrogance" befitting a "monster"!

So what if there's a Title Douluo as an elder? Since he's become their teacher, the students should listen to his teachings properly. No one else can change that!

"What? The competition's almost here, and you want to come back and join the team now?" Qin Ming said coldly. "Let me tell you, it's too late! Look at you all dressed up so extravagantly. I'll find someone to fill the remaining spots on the Royal Fighting Team. We don't need burdens like you who disrespect your elders and don't obey orders!"

Yinlan laughed. It turns out that people really do laugh out loud when they're speechless. She already thought those noble children were strange enough, but now there's this guy using his "teacher" title to intimidate her. Whose subordinate is this?

The training facilities she created are products of generations of experience and rational research from her ancestors on Earth, designed to maximize the training of the human body without harming it.

Currently, only the academies belonging to the Spirit Hall on the entire continent are equipped with the same training facilities. The fact that she was able to provide a set for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was only because of Ghost Leopard Douluo's influence. It can be said that the other members of the Royal Fighting Team benefited from Osro's influence.

As for Yinlan and the others, they no longer need these facilities; these things were specially reserved for the Royal Fighting Team.

If Qin Ming really knew something, Yin Lan might respect him a bit more, but he even said that those training facilities were "pretty but useless decorations." It's good enough that an outsider as a teacher doesn't ruin the students' future. He's just here to bask in her glory and get his own patronage. How dare he point fingers at the wisdom of generations of Earthling ancestors?

Stop joking!
