[Posting a picture first to hold the fort, hehe... By the way, please follow the story!]
Douluo Continent.
Nuoding Academy.
A middle-aged man with a crew cut and stubble, looking quite slovenly, was standing at the front, passionately explaining his theories.
There were only three students sitting below.
One was dozing off, one was secretly munching on a Carrot, and only Tang San, sitting in the middle, was listening with full concentration, nodding seriously from time to time.
In the seat by the window, a white-haired youth was sleeping soundly with his head tilted.
Noteworthy was a thirty-centimeter-long Little White Snake loosely coiled around his neck; it currently had its head raised, its slender tongue flickering in and out like a dutiful little guard.
After all, Gangzi's theories were truly full of nonsense; listening to them was the same as not listening.
Tang San frowned and reached out to nudge the youth sitting next to him: "Li Yuan, the teacher's theories are very helpful to us; don't doze off."
The youth, whose good dream was interrupted, waved his hand impatiently: "Oh, don't bother me. If you want to listen to this nonsense, listen to it yourself. What does it have to do with me?"
Tang San's expression immediately changed, and he clenched his fist: "Li Yuan, how can you be like this! The teacher is kindly giving us a lecture, and not only are you not listening, you're actually slandering him!"
Li Yuan sat up straight and picked his ear disdainfully: "It's not like I begged him to talk. It's your teacher's own wishful thinking, insisting that the academy hold some theory lecture and forcing us to come. Is it my fault?"
Beside him, Xiao Wu, whose cheeks were puffed out like a hamster from secretly eating a Carrot, nodded vigorously while chewing, expressing deep agreement.
Yu Xiaogang on the stage had already noticed the commotion, and his face turned grim and long.
He looked coldly at Li Yuan:
"Li Yuan, if you really don't want to listen, you can leave right now!"
Yu Xiaogang didn't believe that if he told him to go, he would actually dare to leave.
"It's a deal; I've been waiting for those words."
Li Yuan stood up decisively, picked up his jacket, and walked toward the door.
Yu Xiaogang's face immediately flushed red.
In Nuoding Academy, this was the first time someone had dared to question the authority of his theories to his face.
Yu Xiaogang deliberately raised his voice toward Li Yuan's back and said with conviction:
"Little San, don't worry about someone as self-deprecating as him. Relying on good talent to squander time, unwilling to delve into theory and clarify the direction of his Spirit, he won't go far in the end."
"Don't think that just because your innate spirit power is level seven, you can do whatever you want. Your Spirit is just a low-tier Little White Snake! Without the guidance of my theories, you'll never find the correct development path in your life!"
"You will regret it sooner or later!"
Hearing this, Li Yuan took one last look back at the red-faced Yu Xiaogang in the classroom and mouthed: "WQNMLGB!"
Even the Little White Snake on his neck stared with its snake pupils and flickered its tongue repeatedly at Yu Xiaogang.
It seemed to be mimicking its master saying those words.
After Yu Xiaogang saw clearly what that mouth shape was, his entire face instantly turned the color of pig liver, his eyes turned red, and he was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath:
"You! Truly rotten wood that cannot be carved..."
Leaving the classroom, Li Yuan walked slowly toward the dormitory.
As for what Yu Xiaogang had just said, he didn't take it to heart at all, treating it entirely as nonsense.
As a transmigrator, even if others didn't know what the Grandmaster's theories were made of, could he not know?
Li Yuan had level seven innate spirit power, and his Spirit was an external Little White Snake.
Now he was 4.6 Kun-years old, and his spirit power had reached level twenty-five.
Of course, it was also because his Spirit was a rare external Beast Spirit form.
Over the years, Yu Xiaogang had hinted many times, both openly and secretly, that he wanted to take him as a disciple.
Tang San also helped by chiming in and frequently inviting him.
Li Yuan refused them all; he didn't want to follow the same path as Tang San.
After all, this guy was honored as a "Biyang de Wanyi" and "Chusheng de Dongxi" in his previous life!
The only thing Li Yuan felt a bit regretful about was that he felt he was losing face for the vast number of fellow transmigrators.
After all, when others transmigrate to Douluo, they either punch Tang San and kick Tang Hao, or become the Chancellor of the Great Han, carrying forward the Jian'an Style, and becoming an invincible player in the field of love.
But him, let alone becoming a Long Aotian, he hadn't even heard a single "ding" from the essential System for transmigrators.
[Ding—!]
"Hmm?"
Li Yuan frowned and looked around, but couldn't see the source of the sound.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Douluo Continent Featured Exchange and Mutual Assistance Group!]
No, brother, I was already planning to clear Douluo without a System.
What's with giving me a System halfway through?
I'm glad you could come, but you came too late, so I'm very unhappy.
[Detected that the host once performed a year-long Medieval Wilderness Survival when first transmigrating and successfully survived...]
[Specially issuing a comment: Golden fingers might be late, but they will never be absent. Dear, you could even clear wilderness survival, why couldn't you have a little patience while waiting for a System? (^▽^)]
Li Yuan's footsteps paused, and after a long while, he slowly raised his hand to cover his face.
This System... why does it seem a bit improper?
He carefully studied the instructions for this "Douluo World Featured Exchange and Mutual Assistance Group."
Simple put, as the Group Owner, Li Yuan could invite female characters from Douluo parts 1-4 to join the group chat. For every successful invitation, he would receive a corresponding reward.
The group chat could also be upgraded by accumulating "Fire of Chatting."
Every time the group chat upgraded, Li Yuan could unlock some of the group chat's functions, gain an additional invitation opportunity, and receive a wave of generous rewards.
The reward list left him dazzled: Spirit Bones, spirit rings, Spirit evolution, special cultivation techniques... it had almost everything.
[To compensate for the host's years of waiting, a novice gift pack is specially presented!]
[Obtained: Invitation attempts +9!]
Li Yuan's eyes lit up. Holy crap, invitation attempts plus 9?
System Bro, generous!
In other words, including the one invitation attempt that came with the chat group, he could now invite ten random characters in total.
So, what rewards could he get?
Li Yuan glanced at the single invitation and batch invitation on the chat group. Without any hesitation, he immediately chose the one-time batch invitation.
Hesitation leads to defeat!
[Ding—!]
...Douluo Continent.
Heaven Dou City, Crown Princes Mansion.
Qian Renxue, who had been playing the role of Xue Qinghe for many years, finally had a moment of leisure today after handling tedious official business and prepared to enjoy a bath.
After the maids prepared the hot water and sprinkled flower petals, she waved her hand to dismiss everyone.
The sleeping quarters were filled with steam.
Qian Renxue, dressed in a plain white light gauze bathrobe, sat in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her brilliant long golden hair with a jade comb.
The face reflected in the mirror was nearly perfect, her skin as fair as jade, her charming figure having exquisite curves, and her long beautiful legs partially visible under the gauze robe.
In the entire Douluo Continent, there were probably few people who could compare to her in appearance, except for her mother, who had the added bonus of mature charm.
Qian Renxue's exquisite eyes, filled with a charming color, also softened a lot at this moment due to relaxation.
After pinning up her long hair, she gently took off her bathrobe and stepped into the large bathtub that was big enough to accommodate two people.
"Mm..."
As the warm water enveloped her body, she sighed comfortably and closed her eyes.
[Ding—!]
[Welcome to the Douluo Continent Chat and Mutual Assistance Group.]
Just as Qian Renxue was enjoying the pleasure of bathing, a voice sounded in her mind, startling her so much that her expression changed drastically:
"Who is it? Who dares to break into my Crown Princes Mansion!"
Qian Renxue instantly stood up from the water.
The bathroom was filled with white mist, and her slender and graceful figure was partially visible within it. Water droplets rolled down her fair and smooth skin, adding a sense of temptation like a lotus flower emerging from clear water.
Especially those massive globes, bouncing rhythmically.
