As soon as Xiao Tian returned to the Academy, he was immediately summoned by the Three Teaching Committee.
There was nothing he could do. Xiao Tian could only take Senior Dugu Bo and the others to meet the teaching committee first. After all, the Three Teaching Committee had appointed him as the Captain of the first team, but he had acted on his own initiative, disappearing for over four months, essentially abandoning his post. They were probably worried sick.
But then again, everything speaks with strength. The Three Teaching Committee probably wouldn't say anything.
Where the Three Teaching Committee were located.
As soon as Zhi LinSpirit Douluo saw them, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Tian, weren't you going to Sunset Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts? It's been four months, why are you only just returning?"
Xiao Tian said calmly, "Teaching Committee Zhi Lin, something came up on the way, and we trained with Senior Dugu Bo outside for a period, so our return was delayed."
Senior Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, but he also looked at Zhi Lin, staring at him with a poker face and saying, "This old man took them outside for some good training, do you have a problem with that? Isn't the Soul Master Competition still about eight months away? What are you old folks so anxious about?"
Zhi Lin: ...
Facing Senior Dugu Bo, who was a Titled Douluo, Zhi Lin didn't dare to say anything more. Moreover, he noticed that both Senior Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's hair had changed.
And now he had a premonition that Senior Dugu Bo seemed different from before, feeling stronger.
Meng Shenji chuckled, easing the awkwardness, and looked at Xiao Tian, saying gently, "Xiao Tian, Zhi Lin was worried about you, there's no malice. Although you've just returned, there's something we need to discuss with you two Captains here."
Dean Flander of Shrek Academy sent us an invitation for a friendly match a week ago. What are your thoughts? Because you hadn't returned yet, I haven't replied to them."
Xiao Tian was also somewhat surprised by this. "An invitation for a match from Shrek Academy? Chief, do you know the current strength of Shrek Academy?"
Meng Shenji shook his head and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but Yu Tianheng, whom we expelled, went to their Academy, and should be a Spirit Ancestor by now. Oh, and there's another one, should be called Dai Mubai, he also seems to have just reached Spirit Ancestor."
Xiao Tian was a little surprised. Dai Mubai had become a Spirit Ancestor? This was a bit faster than in the original work.
In the original work, without the Immortal Herb given by Tang San, Dai Mubai should have only been level thirty-nine at this time. Now, he had actually reached Spirit Ancestor ahead of schedule.
Xiao Tian thought for a moment, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and thought, it seems Dai Mubai has some obsession. That's good, then Zhuqing can personally teach him a lesson when the time comes.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have seen through Xiao Tian's thoughts, and nodded slightly to him, indicating that she would handle Dai Mubai.
On the surface, Xiao Tian looked at Meng Shenji and said with some regret, "Only two Spirit Ancestors? With that strength, it feels like just two of us are enough. But never mind, Chief, reply to Shrek Academy. Tell them to bring their team to the Royal Academy for a practice match in a week, so their team can get some practice against ours."
Seeing Xiao Tian say this, the Three Chiefs became curious about the current strength of Xiao Tian and the others. If he remembered correctly, Xiao Tian was only a Spirit Ancestor before he left. Could he be a Spirit King now?
"What is your current strength? Show us so we three old guys can have an idea."
Meng Shenji said with a smile. He wanted to know if, with the addition of Xiao Tian and the others, their Academy could truly win the championship in a few months.
Xiao Tian smiled, "Three Teaching Committee members, I had some opportunities, and I am now level fifty-seven!"
"Wh- What! You said you're level fifty-seven!"
After hearing this, the eyes of the Three Teaching Committee widened, completely disbelieving. And when they saw the five spirit rings on Xiao Tian, they were so happy they almost jumped up, completely losing their composure.
How old was Xiao Tian? Fourteen years old!
A fourteen-year-old Spirit King! This broke the Continent's record!
And then, Ning Rongrong and the others also reported their spirit power levels.
The Three Teaching Committee all felt a bit bewildered. Dugu Yan had also advanced to Spirit King, while Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu were all Spirit Ancestors.
What exactly had they experienced outside during this time? Their improvement speed was surprisingly fast!
However, this was their opportunity, and the three of them also knew that such matters were not good to inquire about.
No wonder Xiao Tian looked down on Shrek Academy. In a match against Shrek, even if Xiao Tian didn't participate, they could still crush Shrek Academy!
Looking at it this way, the other members of the first team were only high-level Spirit Elders now, which seemed a bit insufficient.
Zhi LinSpirit Douluo was thinking in his heart whether to transfer a few people from the first team to the second team to strengthen the second team, or to let them stay as substitutes for the first team.
"Hehe, alright, alright. I'll send someone to Shrek Academy now to let them get ready. They can come here in a month. For this week, Xiao Tian, as the Captain, you should also properly integrate with the other team members. You guys haven't officially trained together even once since you enrolled."
Meng Shenji also said somewhat seriously.
Xiao Tian and the others were also slightly guilty, and could only nod in agreement.
And Bai Baoshan played the nice guy, saying with a chuckle, "No rush, no rush. Xiao Tian and the others have just returned, let them rest for two days first. The integration can happen slowly. Their current strength is so high, Shrek Academy is no match at all. I was actually thinking, should we let the two Captains, Xiao Tian and Dugu Yan, hide their strength and preserve their combat power, so they don't get exposed too early?"
Xiao Tian retorted, "Teaching Committee member, there's no need for such trouble. If it's exposed, it's exposed. I'd actually prefer that people from other Academies learn this news, so they can become more competitive and improve their strength. Otherwise, wouldn't the competition be quite boring then?"
"Alright, alright, having confidence is a good thing!" Meng Shenji nodded in agreement.
Indeed, just let nature take its course. By the time the Soul Master Competition begins, Xiao Tian might even reach Spirit Emperor. The championship is basically a certainty.
It was night.
Xiao Wu, like a sneaky little white rabbit stealing a fish, crept to Xiao Tian's door.
And Xiao Tian had long sensed her presence. Without waiting for Xiao Wu to knock, he directly opened the door and pulled her inside.
During this time, it wasn't just Xiao Wu; he was also feeling stifled. They had been constantly on the road, and even when they stayed in hotels along the way, they hadn't been able to enjoy intimacy.
"Brother, wuwuwu..."
Xiao Wu was directly picked up by Xiao Tian and placed on the bed. Before she could say anything, her cherry lips were directly sealed by Xiao Tian.
That night, they were immersed in the fusion of love and passion, like two blazing flames embracing. Every touch and entanglement felt like the ultimate union of soul and body. Their intimacy overflowed with endless tenderness and desire.
In that 'private space', they were inseparable, their bodies entwined like a beautiful melody. The wonder of their intimacy made them feel as if they were in a dreamlike realm, with love flowing in every intimate contact.
