DD2: Glory of the Unrivaled Angel

"What the heck?! My shed skin has been taken?!"

The Skydream Iceworm jerked upright in shock, performing a carp-like flip. Through Huo Yuhao's eyes, it saw Ling Bai just stowing away the white membrane into a Storage Spirit Guidance Device.

"No!!!"

The Skydream Iceworm let out a sky-shattering howl as its gaze fixed on Ling Bai with an expression somewhere between looking at a father's murderer and the sorrow of a wife with a compulsive gambler for a husband.

Though it was inwardly roaring to snatch back its shed skin, the last shred of reason reminded the Skydream Iceworm that while it merely aimed to become a God through fusion as an intelligent spirit ring, the person before it clearly already possessed Divine Power.

In other words, Ling Bai was highly likely to be a successor of a God, or at the very least a closely related descendant. Recklessly provoking Ling Bai now was unwise for both the Skydream Iceworm and Huo Yuhao.

The Skydream Iceworm fumed with frustration but had to begrudgingly accept this loss.

Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't you dare bully an... old silkworm down on its luck!

"Brother Bai, did something happen?"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng awoke from the spiritual domain, their eyes showing a hint of confusion, as if they had just experienced a strange, timeless dream.

"It's nothing."

Ling Bai smiled. There was no need for them to know about Electrolux or the Skydream Iceworm. Sometimes ignorance was bliss.

"Yuhao! Yuhao!"

In the distance, two figures were rushing toward them at high speed.

A young man and woman, both appearing around fourteen or fifteen years old. The girl had a lively, oval face, long black hair tied into a ponytail, and large, bright eyes. She was definitely a budding beauty.

The young man was tall and upright, his short deep-blue hair shining like a gemstone. His handsome face carried a touch of elegance, and even as they hurried, his gaze frequently drifted to the girl beside him.

"Big Brother Bei Bei, Sister Tang Ya!"

Huo Yuhao recognized them immediately as Bei Bei and Tang Ya, whom he'd met earlier. He waved excitedly.

The events just now had made it clear that Ling Bai was extremely dangerous. The Skydream Iceworm had repeatedly warned him not to provoke that monster!

With Bei Bei and Tang Ya arriving, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of security. His tense body and nerves gradually relaxed.

"Sorry we're late, Xiao Yuhao!"

The two quickly reached Huo Yuhao's side and came to a halt. Seeing the gruesome corpse of the Wind Baboon on the ground and Huo Yuhao's injuries, they looked both anxious and relieved.

"It's okay, Sister Tang Ya."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "In a stroke of luck, I managed to kill the Wind Baboon and obtained my first spirit ring."

Skydream Iceworm's 1,000,000-year spirit ring? Nah.

Wind Baboon's 10-year spirit ring? Yes!

"A 10-year spirit ring..."

Bei Bei frowned slightly. Huo Yuhao hadn't mentioned his spiritual-type Spirit Eyes Martial Spirit during their previous encounter. Bei Bei was simply concerned that a 10-year spirit ring might hinder Huo Yuhao's future potential.

"Not a big deal! We can find a 100-year spirit beast for the second spirit ring!"

The always carefree Tang Ya thought that Huo Yuhao was incredibly lucky just to be alive. Spirit rings seemed like a small matter in comparison. Then...

She inadvertently noticed Ling Bai and his companions. Her beautiful eyes widened like saucers, and she instinctively cried out:

"Bei Bei! Bei Bei! Look at how they look! Especially that handsome guy, he's so wow!"

Bei Bei looked helplessly at his scatterbrained girlfriend but couldn't help agreeing.

The appearance of the trio before them was indeed...

He racked his brain and finally came up with a word:

Heavenly.

White crystal high heels, a fitted azure dress accentuating her waist, and luxurious accessories adorning her platinum-blonde hair, even Bei Bei, accustomed to seeing beauties at Shrek Academy, had to admit that Ning Tian was exceptionally stunning.

Her natural charm was impossible for an ordinary person to match. Anyone who saw this girl would marvel at how biased nature must have been to create such genetic perfection. Just by looking at Ning Tian, Bei Bei could almost imagine a lineage of breathtaking beauties in her family tree.

While Wu Feng's looks didn't quite match Ning Tian's, she was unquestionably worthy of being called a beauty. Her figure was already taking shape, with voluptuous curves that made the slightly older Tang Ya look down at herself and feel a surge of inferiority!

"Stop looking! Stop looking!"

Tang Ya flailed her arms as she covered Bei Bei's eyes and stared intensely at Ling Bai.

That's not fair! If my boyfriend is ogling beauties, then I get to ogle handsome guys too!

Wow, he's really good-looking!

"Sigh..."

Bei Bei helplessly pushed aside Tang Ya's small hands and openly gazed at Ling Bai. He considered his own appearance to be quite striking, yet in front of Ling Bai's face, he was utterly overshadowed.

That exquisitely handsome face seemed to be meticulously sculpted, flawless in every detail. His dazzling golden eyes shone like the sun, yet carried a hint of indifference and laziness. His long golden hair, the same color as his eyes, flowed down to his waist, reminiscent of the sun's radiant brilliance. Once one's gaze fell upon him, it was difficult to look away.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya had to admit that being around such a trio would put immense psychological pressure on anyone, simply due to their outstanding looks.

After a moment, Bei Bei was the first to react. He stepped forward, his handsome face adorned with an impeccable smile, and said in a clear voice:

"Hello, my name is Bei Bei. This is my girlfriend Tang Ya and our junior brother, Huo Yuhao. Both Tang Ya and I are students of Shrek Academy. Thank you for keeping an eye on Yuhao before we arrived."

"Oh, Shrek Academy?"

Wu Feng tilted her head. "So you're our senior classmates?"

"Could it be that you're also..." Bei Bei realized.

"Greetings, Senior Bei Bei and Senior Sister Tang Ya," Ling Bai chimed in. "My name is Ling Bai, and these are my companions, Ning Tian and Wu Feng. We're new students at Shrek Academy this year, from the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Tang Ya's lively eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. "What a coincidence, Junior Brother Ling! Bei Bei and I are also from the Heavenly Soul Empire. We're all compatriots. If you have any problems at the academy, just mention your senior sister's name. Small matters don't need it, and big matters can't be solved with it!"

"I see..."

Ling Bai couldn't help but look at Tang Ya in a new light. So, mentioning your name is useless for both small and big matters?

You truly are a godsend!

Ning Tian and Wu Feng stood gracefully on either side of Ling Bai, the corners of their rosy lips curling into smiles, clearly amused by Tang Ya's bold self-introduction.

"Ahem!"

Bei Bei quickly pulled Tang Ya behind him, cleared his throat to alleviate the awkwardness, and said earnestly:

"Junior brothers and sisters, since we've met in the Star Dou Forest, I assume you're here to obtain spirit rings?"

"Mm, I need a spirit ring," Ling Bai nodded slightly.

"As it happens, Xiao Ya also needs a spirit ring. Since we're all Shrek Academy students, how about we form a temporary team? We can hunt spirit beasts together and then return to the academy to register."
