--- Chapter 100 ---
Three years later.
A lot has changed since Han Yuan planted Ah Yin near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. One of the most noticeable developments has been the rising fame of the Dao Academy over the past three years.
After Han Yuan shared some of his theories, many people sought to join the academy, eager to experience its unique ability to open new paths for spirit masters.
The three trials designed by Han Yuan for potential students are working fantastically, allowing the academy to accept only the best students from a group of trash. However, the nobles disagree with these trials, claiming the academy prevents them from joining and has begun to cause trouble for the academy.
The situation escalated to the point where the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had to intervene to calm the shortsighted nobles.
Of course, this was nothing. Han Yuan could easily wipe those fools with his power, but he chose to be lowkey and let his good brother Crown Prince (Qian Renxue), and Uncle (Ning Fengzhi) handle them.
Talking about his good brother and uncle, Han Yuan still scammed them until this very day. They steadily purchased Mystic Water Pill, Holy Abyss Pill, and Foundation Building Liquid every three months, giving Han Yuan a steady income from rare resources. The lands around Dao Academy were under Han Yuan's name one year ago.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Catcher and the storable spirit ring have become an open secret because Ning Fenzhi can't shut his mouth near the cross-dressing prince. Hehe, Ning Fengzhi doesn't realize that his disciple is the Saintess of the Spirit Hall.
Later, the Spirit Hall acquired some Spirit Catchers, which Qian Renxue purchased after tough negotiations with Han Yuan. They attempted to uncover the secret behind them but were unsuccessful, as they lacked knowledge of True Spirit Theory.
The Spirit Hall also tried to place spies in the academy. But Dugu Bo boldly eliminated them and announced his breakthrough, which sent shockwaves throughout the continent for several months, particularly among the upper echelons of the Spirit Master Community.
Funnily enough, Dugu Bo beat Chrysanthemum Douluo to pig head before everyone's eyes to deter them. He said it was one of the most satisfying things he had done after bullying Tang Hao.
So, with Dugu Bo's new strength and notorious reputation, the Spirit Hall and others have refrained from making foolish moves.
Who would have the infamous Dugu Bo could break through to be Super Douluo? And this made Dao Academy more mysterious than everyone initially thought. After all, any faction with Title Douluo is something everyone has to be wary of.
People didn't know that Dao Academy has more than one Title Douluo protecting it.
After three years, Liu Erlong and Ye Xuelan have reached the realm of Title Douluo, with Dugu Xin and Ning Fengyuan being level 87, nearly becoming the fourth and fifth Title Douluo in the academy.
Ye Xuelan's advance to the Title Douluo wasn't that much of a surprise because she had Flower Goddess Nine Trials supervised by the Goddess of Life herself, and the rewards from those trials were generous.
She's on the third trial and successfully evolved her Nine Heart Begonia to Nine Heart Sacred Begonia upon reaching Title Douluo Realm, which could even revive the dead by paying some price, which was a very long cooldown time.
Surprisingly, Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia also evolved but didn't follow the same path as Ye Xuelan's as it became Nine Heart Divine Begonia with supreme life and space attributes.
The division of the Flower Goddess's seat has allowed Ye Xuelan and Ye Lingling to become unique gods associated with flowers. However, they couldn't have achieved this result without the assistance of the Goddess of Life. The Divine Essence the Goddess of Life gifted was very generous—far more than Han Yuan could get from his Thunder God Nine Trials.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong's advancement to Title Douluo was extremely smooth as they hunted a fierce beast, the 300,000-year-old Volcanic Sea Dragon Turtle, in the East Ocean of Douluo Continent for her ninth spirit ring.
The fierce beast's spirit ring allowed Liu Erlong to form another spirit core, Bloodline Core or Elder Dragon's Heart, and enhance the Elder Dragon's heritage more. As a result, Liu Erlong reached level 94 Title Douluo while having combat prowess comparable to a level 97 Super Douluo. Those three-level differences are noteworthy.
The God of Destruction even recognizes Liu Erlong's potential and sees her as capable of forming her own God's seat. According to his judgment, she could be either 2nd Class God or higher, depending on how much effort she puts in.
However, Han Yuan was surprised that the God of Destruction wasn't wary of Liu Erling being Elder Dragon's Progenitor because of how much damage the Dragon God had done to the Divine Realm.
Then, the God of Destruction said this line to Han Yuan, "I might be wary of Dragon God because of his madness, but there is no question about his might and contribution to the Divine Realm. Hmph! And why should I be wary of a little girl like her? Elder Dragon? Pfft, it's just some weak-ass lizard now! Elder Dragon might have the potential to surpass the Dragon Race created by Dragon God, but the potential is potential! She has yet to reach that level!"
Han Yuan slowly grasped that the God of Destruction wasn't as paranoid as the ones he knew from the DD series. After all, the God of Destruction knew the Divine Realm really needed new blood.
Well, this God of Destruction probably believes the little girl (Liu Erlong) wouldn't do anything harmful as long as Han Yuan was around her. The effect of the Son of Destiny's presence is quite strong.
And he's goddamn right.
Liu Erlong has changed over the past years. The difference between her current self and herself four years ago is uncanny.
It's like day and night.
Even though Liu Erlong's brave and passionate personality never changes, she becomes exceedingly bold as Han Yuan grows older and often snuck into his bedroom to nap with him on his bed, which becomes even more chaotic when she brings Ye Xuelan and Ning Fengyuan along.
Han Yue, being the possessive brocon she is, was mad. She even named Liu Erlong and two others the Three Old Cows Who Liked to Prey on Someone's Young Grass!
However, this becomes a trigger for even more chaotic events.
Not long after kicking the Three Old Cows out, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling visited in disguise to learn to cook from Han Yue. Yet they also secretly snuck into Han Yuan's room and did the unspeakable.
After Han Yue caught them red-handed, she kicked Dugu Yan and Ye Longling out and called them the Perverted Flower Snake Girls!
Hoho, do you think this is over?
No, no, no.
Learning from two of three Old Cows, the growing Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong become increasingly curious in Han Yuan's bedroom, so they come to the hut to play. At the time, Han Yue was busy absorbing her 6th spirit ring, and they successfully took a nap with Han Yuan for a few days.
Han Yue was so mad that he imprisoned Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu for a week and called them the Thieving Rabbit and Brat!
Then, Han Yue realized this would never stop.
After thinking about it for so long, Han Yue decided to have talks with all the girls.
Han Yuan doesn't know what they discussed, but they somehow agree to create a sleeping rotation. The catch is Han Yue always sleeps with Han Yuan, so they can't do sneaky stuff. Well, it's not like they have ever done anything in the first place.
Han Yuan is a pure boy!
He has never taken that step with the girls!
As for skinship, well, that was debatable.
Do you think cuddling, holding hands, or head pats are lewd?
