Dugu Yan glanced at Tang Yin, realizing he was likely the match her grandfather was trying to set her up with. A blush crept up her cheeks.
She already had someone she liked.
Moreover, he was attending the same academy as her, and their relationship was going well. Her grandfather should know this, so why was he trying to arrange a marriage?
Tang Yin noticed Dugu Yan's reaction and spoke frankly, "You've probably figured it out - your grandfather wants to set us up."
Hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Dugu Yan's cold, elegant face. She said clearly, "I already have someone I like, and we're very happy together. So, we... it's impossible."
She held a certain respect for Tang Yin, a young powerhouse who had easily defeated her.
He was also someone her grandfather had brought along, suggesting a connection.
Although Tang Yin's easy victory had left her slightly annoyed, she still had a good impression of him, and spoke to him politely.
Tang Yin smiled calmly.
He had long anticipated Dugu Yan's reaction.
After all, at this point in time, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were already a couple.
It would be strange if a few words from her grandfather and the recent sparring could make her give up on Yu Tianheng.
And if it weren't for the system allowing him to earn some green light points from her, he wouldn't have come with Dugu Bo.
He glanced at Dugu Yan, this wild and cold beauty, and said lightly, "In that case, I'll take my leave first. As for your grandfather's matchmaking attempts, you can ask him for the specifics."
With that, he turned and left directly.
Tang Yin didn't mind having more beauties, and he certainly didn't mind more green light points, but he didn't have a habit of groveling.
If there's a chance in the future, taking down Dugu Yan wouldn't be too late.
As for Dugu Yan having a boyfriend, hehe.
The Green Light System isn't just for show.
Tang Yin's decisive departure left Dugu Yan completely bewildered.
Shouldn't he have lowered his standards, continued to foster a relationship with her, or shamelessly try to please her?
As the granddaughter of Title Douluo Dugu Bo, her status, appearance, and position were all quite high.
Always the favored daughter of the heavens, Dugu Yan felt inexplicably uncomfortable with Tang Yin's decisive and resolute departure.
It was as if she held no attraction for Tang Yin whatsoever.
"Hmph! Grumpy grandpa."
Dugu Yan cursed inwardly.
Now that her grandpa had returned, even though he'd left halfway through to let her and Tang Yin be alone, she'd definitely have to go home tonight.
She would go back tonight and ask him about it.
What was the deal with this Tang Yin?
He clearly knew she had a boyfriend, so why was he trying to set them up?
Without thinking too much about it, Dugu Yan continued to cultivate her Soul Power.
Now, Shrek Academy had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan had always felt a bit unconvinced about their loss in Suotuo City.
When Shrek Academy joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they had already made an agreement to compete again in a month.
She didn't want to lose again then.
Tang Yin, who had left, was unaware of Dugu Yan's thoughts.
He was speechless about Dugu Bo's action of abandoning him.
After all, he didn't have a deep understanding of Heaven Dou Royal Academy yet.
He was still hoping Dugu Bo would take him back.
"Forget it, I'll ask someone later."
"If that doesn't work, I'll contact Ah Yin."
After Tang Yin left the simulated training ground where Dugu Yan was, he began to wander around the training grounds.
The entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy's simulated training ground was huge, and various scenes simulated by Soul Tools made Tang Yin click his tongue in admiration.
Suddenly, at that moment.
Tang Yin suddenly noticed an extremely strong emotional fluctuation coming from a training ground ahead.
A strong obsession with becoming stronger.
In addition, he found that the Soul Power fluctuations on the other person's body were also not weak.
Intrigued, Tang Yin immediately changed direction and headed towards the simulated training ground.
Generally, each Soul Master's simulated training ground had a dedicated training room, equipped with various Soul Tools that simulated different scenarios for students to practice in.
To enter for training, one needed to present their Heaven Dou Royal Academy identity card for verification.
This was according to what Dugu Bo had told him on the way.
The training rooms inside were already occupied; and if someone was currently using the simulated training ground, others couldn't interrupt their training unless they joined in or took turns.
However, Tang Yin had just joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy and wasn't very familiar with these rules. Being somewhat curious, he directly took out his identity card, verified it, and entered the simulated training room.
Upon entering, he first saw a vast, empty space. Around him, various Soul Tools were emitting a dense fluctuation of Soul Power. The next second, the scene shifted, and a dark forest appeared before Tang Yin's eyes.
Inside the forest, four two-meter-tall panther-like Soul Beasts, with black fur and purple markings, were attacking a woman.
The woman's face was resolute, and she didn't give up resisting even when facing four leopard Soul Beasts of equal strength.
Her figure flickered like a ghost, forming shadows to evade the continuous attacks of the four leopard Soul Beasts. At the same time, her breathing became heavier and heavier.
She was very beautiful.
Wearing a black, tight-fitting outfit that clung to her body, perfectly outlining her incredibly hot figure. Her dark eyes were bright and slender, crystal-clear and charming.
Her delicate face, with exquisite features, appeared a little cold, but it was so perfect it seemed like a divine gift.
Her black hair cascaded down her back, revealing a swan-like, graceful, and slender neck, exuding an indescribable elegance. Her shoulders were like sculpted knives, indescribably alluring.
Seeing the woman, Tang Yin didn't interrupt her training against the four leopard Soul Beasts. Instead, he came to the side, leaned against a tree with his arms crossed, and watched with interest.
Before this, he had been trapped in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well by Tang Hao, so he didn't have much experience with Soul Masters from the outside world. Now, seeing the resolute and cold face of the woman before him, he was quite appreciative.
Whoosh—whoosh—
The woman kept dodging the attacks of the leopard Soul Beasts, but she was surrounded by four Soul Beasts of comparable strength. Her Soul Power consumption was excessive, and her stamina was gradually failing.
Bang! Bang!
Several loud thuds.
She was struck by a leopard Soul Beast. The immense force erupted on her, sending her crashing into a tree.
Although the environment within the simulated training ground was created by various Soul Tools, the simulated objects were all real. Only impact would cause them to shatter and disappear.
Just like those four leopard Soul Beasts, they were all solid entities.
Only if the opponent used their powerful strength to kill the leopard Soul Beasts would they dissipate.
Now, the black-haired woman was knocked back by the powerful attack of the leopard Soul Beast, smashing into a tree. The immense force instantly shattered the tree, causing it to dissipate into glittering stardust.
Meanwhile, the Soul Tool outside sensed the impact and released a surge of Soul Power, quickly reforming the tree.
"Pfft—"
The moment the black-haired woman hit the ground, her throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spill out.
She didn't give up, nor did she pay any attention to the blood she'd spat out. After wiping her mouth, her cold, resolute face turned toward the four leopard Soul Beasts, whose strength was comparable to her own, and she stood up again.
Her name was Zhu Zhuqing.
She was obsessed with getting stronger.
Her gaze flicked towards Tang Yin's location before she turned her attention back to the four leopard Soul Beasts.
Dugu Yan sensed Tang Yin the moment he entered, but she'd assumed he was just another student preparing to train in the simulated environment and paid him no further mind.
Right now, her priority was defeating the four leopard Soul Beasts in front of her, which were of a similar strength, and completing this training session.
"Roar!"
The four black-furred, purple-striped leopard Soul Beasts opened their maws and roared.
Their powerful legs propelled them forward, as they charged towards Zhu Zhuqing from four different directions at incredible speed.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her body slightly. The Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul manifested. A pair of fluffy cat ears appeared on her head, and sharp claws extended from her hands. Two Soul Rings, yellow in color, spiraled around her, the second one even more radiant.
"Second Soul Skill: Hell Hundred Claws."
Zhu Zhuqing fixed her gaze on the closest leopard Soul Beast, ignoring the possibility of being attacked by the other three. Her body instantly transformed into a black shadow, darting towards the nearest leopard.
Black light flashed as Zhu Zhuqing's hundred-claw attack landed on the nearest leopard Soul Beast.
Hiss!
The powerful attack instantly dispersed the leopard Soul Beast.
However, as she dispersed one, the other three leopard Soul Beast attacks had already reached her.
"Can't dodge!"
Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression changed, realizing she couldn't dodge the attacks at all.
At the entrance, Tang Yin leaned against a tree, watching. When he saw the woman with black eyes and black hair, and an incredibly hot figure, use the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul and the Hell Spirit Hundred Claws Soul Skill, a figure appeared in his mind.
Zhu Zhuqing.
One of the most charming members of the original Shrek Seven Devils.
"It seems Shrek Academy really has joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Then, won't I be able to see my brother soon?"
Tang Yin smiled slightly, thinking of his brother, Tang San.
He observed Zhu Zhuqing. He saw her using an exchange-of-wounds method to disperse a leopard Soul Beast, but she was about to be hit by three other Soul Beasts.
He didn't make a move, still watching with interest.
The next moment.
With no way to avoid it, Zhu Zhuqing was instantly hit by the attacks of the three leopard Soul Beasts.
Boom!
She crashed heavily to the ground.
A wave of intense pain surged through her body; she was already severely injured.
The simulated Soul Beasts formed in the simulated training grounds were not designed to be lethal. When Zhu Zhuqing fell heavily to the ground, the remaining three leopard Soul Beasts stood in place, refraining from further attacks.
"Cough, cough!"
Severely wounded, Zhu Zhuqing struggled, coughed up some blood, and then stood up again.
She stared at the remaining three leopard Soul Beasts, ignoring her injuries and launching another attack.
Boom! Boom!
Swish! Swish!
Shadows flickered, and the sounds of Soul Skills clashing echoed.
Zhu Zhuqing, after exhausting her last bit of strength and collapsing to the ground, had once again defeated two leopard Soul Beasts of similar strength.
The remaining leopard Soul Beast, seeing her injured and unable to resist, dissolved into starlight and vanished.
The simulated training scene also disappeared instantly.
Tang Yin then walked step by step towards the defenseless Zhu Zhuqing.
