Douluo Dalu: The World Suppressing Douluo

[🎉 Shoutout to Fuzion_Formula & Huboor for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

After displaying astonishing strength in the sparring arena—defeating Yan, a Spirit Elder, while only at the Spirit Grandmaster level—Lin Ye was immediately hailed as a genius and revered by his peers.

Everyone believed it was only natural for Lin Ye to assume the position of Holy Son of Spirit Hall.

Only someone as extraordinary as Lin Ye could be worthy of such a title!

However, Lin Ye remained indifferent to the flattery of his fellow students.

To him, these Spirit Hall students were practical to a fault—like grass swaying with the wind, they shifted their allegiance wherever the breeze blew strongest.

He didn't take their previous jealousy and hostility to heart, and now that they were showering him with praise, he cared just as little.

For a Spirit Master, strength was everything.

What others said or did was their business; his sole focus was on growing stronger through continuous effort.

"It's getting late. Shall we head out together?"

Amidst the endless chorus of "Holy Son this" and "Holy Son that," Lin Ye casually walked over to Hu Liena, picked up the dumpling-like creature perched beside her, and placed it on his shoulder. Then, he turned to her with a calm question.

"Mm, let's go."

Glancing around and realizing her brother Xie Yue had already left, Hu Liena nodded and followed Lin Ye out.

"Uh… our Holy Son seems a bit aloof, doesn't he?"

Watching Lin Ye's retreating figure, one of the students scratched his head awkwardly.

"Isn't that normal? We belittled him so much before; of course, he's not going to feel comfortable with us now. Did you really think he'd suddenly warm up to us just because we're praising him now?"

Another student rolled his eyes in response.

"Well… actually, I think that's exactly how a Holy Son should be—cool and mysterious, like Senior Xie Yue and Holy Maiden Hu Liena. If he were as boisterous as Senior Yan, I'd find it hard to take him seriously as the Holy Son."

A third student chimed in, nodding thoughtfully.

"Oh, come on! Who cares about all that? Don't you think the Holy Son looks super handsome when he's cold and distant?"

A pretty, purple-haired girl nearby pouted as she interjected.

"Plus, he's so powerful! He sent Senior Yan flying with a single strike! Even Senior Xie Yue might not be able to pull that off. He's amazing! Handsome, strong, and the Holy Son… Oh! I can't help it—I've already fallen for him!"

As she spoke, the purple-haired girl clasped her hands over her chest, her face full of infatuation.

"Zi Luo, weren't you into Senior Xie Yue just a while ago?"

"Senior Xie Yue? That was then! Now, my heart belongs to the Holy Son. From now on, I'm the president of the Holy Son's fan club!"

After leaving the sparring arena, Lin Ye and Hu Liena headed to the dining hall for lunch.

In the morning, Hu Liena had treated Lin Ye to a meal since his identity card was empty. By noon, however, Lin Ye had funds and repaid the favor by treating Hu Liena to lunch on the third floor of the dining hall.

The dining facilities at the Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy were far more luxurious than those at Notting Academy. The quality of ingredients was also significantly higher.

For instance, the third floor of the dining hall catered exclusively to wealthier students. The dishes served here included spirit power-infused foods crafted by food-type Spirit Masters, as well as meals prepared using materials from spirit beasts.

From plant-based to animal-based, from land to sea to sky, the variety was astonishing. And the chefs were top-notch, ensuring every dish was a culinary delight. The only downside? The prices were exorbitant.

Even the cheapest dish, like a simple cold salad of Blue Silver Grass roots, cost at least ten gold spirit coins.

Of course, the Blue Silver Grass roots here weren't ordinary—they came from plants at least ten years old, with roots much longer than usual. Other dishes, like Stir-Fried Lonely Bamboo Shoots, Spicy Flaming Thorn Strips, or Sunflower Soup, were even pricier.

Still, these meals weren't just delicious; they also provided tangible benefits for Spirit Masters, such as enhancing cultivation speed. For plant-type Spirit Masters, for instance, consuming these dishes could accelerate their progress significantly.

After lunch, Hu Liena guided Lin Ye to a residential area near the Pope's Palace, where he chose a courtyard as his new home.

As the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, Lin Ye enjoyed certain privileges, including the option to live outside the academy dormitories. His chosen residence was a spacious, luxurious courtyard equipped with various soul-guided appliances for daily living.

Interestingly, Hu Liena's courtyard was right next to his—a detail Lin Ye suspected was no coincidence, likely arranged by Bibi Dong herself.

Once settled, and with Hu Liena's help, Lin Ye purchased bedding and other necessities from the city, tidying up his new home.

In the afternoon, the academy's schedule offered free cultivation time. Following Hu Liena's suggestion, Lin Ye chose a vibrant flower field to train in.

While cultivating, Lin Ye noticed his training speed increased by about 10%, far less than the 30% Hu Liena had claimed. Though the limited presence of Begonia flowers in the area might have been a factor, Lin Ye doubted it made much difference.

His cultivation method, the Nine Yang Divine Technique, didn't rely on meditation like other Spirit Masters. Instead, it followed a fixed route for energy circulation.

According to Hu Liena, most Spirit Masters in Spirit Hall relied on meditation, channeling their spirit energy through feedback from their martial spirits. This reliance on external factors meant their cultivation efficiency was heavily influenced by their surroundings.

Lin Ye's technique, however, was largely independent of such variables. While the environment did have some effect, it was far less significant compared to traditional methods.

---

After an afternoon of cultivation in the simulated training grounds, Lin Ye returned to the dining hall for dinner.

Later that evening, after wandering around Spirit City for a bit, he returned home.

But as he stepped through the door, he was greeted by a tall, regal figure clad in silver and purple ceremonial robes. The figure held a scepter and wore a crown, her commanding presence filling the room.

It was none other than Bibi Dong.
