Chapter 75: Dugu Yan's Jealousy
It didn't take long, about an hour, for Ye Leng Leng to awaken from her cultivation.
Her gaze towards Li Tian was extremely fervent.
Because she felt the bottleneck, which meant her spirit power rank had already reached level thirty.
And even after reaching the bottleneck, she had plenty of reserve power.
If nothing unexpected happened, once she absorbed her spirit ring, she would be able to jump several ranks.
Originally, she was the lowest-ranked person in the Heaven Dou Battle Team.
But now, she had come from behind, directly surpassing Yu Tianheng, who was originally first.
How could she not be excited?
And all of this was given to her by Li Tian, which was why her gaze was so fervent.
"It seems there's no need to test."
Her eyes had already explained everything; she must have reached the bottleneck.
This did not surprise Li Tian.
In the original work, Oscar's spirit power increased by five ranks after consuming the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid.
At that time, Oscar was already Rank thirty-three.
It shouldn't be difficult for Ye Leng Leng to reach Rank thirty-three or thirty-four directly after acquiring her spirit ring.
This time, Ye Leng Leng was sensible.
She no longer offered verbal thanks, but instead directly removed her veil and gave him a fragrant kiss.
Not on the cheek, but on the mouth.
However, what made Li Tian feel a little regretful was that it was still a touch-and-go moment.
There was no time to savor it.
But could Li Tian suffer this loss?
He immediately pulled Ye Leng Leng into his arms and lowered his head for a passionate kiss.
"Mmm—"
Ye Leng Leng's eyes widened, her mind blank, but she only struggled symbolically a few times.
Then she closed her eyes and began to enjoy it.
After a long while, Li Tian, satisfied, let go of the almost suffocated Ye Leng Leng.
"Huff, huff…"
Ye Leng Leng greedily breathed in the fresh air, but upon meeting Li Tian's gaze, she quickly sat up shyly, turning her head away, not daring to look at him.
"Hehe!"
Li Tian licked his lips, as if her sweetness still lingered on them.
"I'll go back first."
Ye Leng Leng stood up, not daring, nor feeling comfortable, to stay here any longer.
"Alright, I'll see you off."
Li Tian also stood up and walked out of the dormitory with her.
Ye Leng Leng put her veil back on, not saying a word.
Li Tian also remained silent, simply walking with her through the campus.
When Ye Leng Leng said she was going back, she meant returning to Heaven Dou City.
After all, she was already Rank thirty and needed to return so her family could take her to hunt for a spirit ring.
Every day after school, there were many carriages at the school gate.
Some were from families picking up their young misses and young masters, and others were dedicated transport carriages.
Li Tian saw her onto the carriage.
"Tsk tsk…"
As the carriage moved away, a light clicking sound reached his ears. Li Tian knew who it was without even looking.
From the moment they left the dormitory, Dugu Yan had been following them.
The flustered Ye Leng Leng hadn't noticed, but Li Tian had sensed her long ago.
Dugu Yan asked, "Did you get her?"
Li Tian said earnestly, "What do you mean, 'get her'? You make it sound like I'm some kind of bad guy."
"Aren't you?"
For some reason, upon receiving this semi-affirmative answer, Dugu Yan felt very uncomfortable.
"I'm hungry. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria to get something to eat."
Li Tian walked towards the cafeteria, and Dugu Yan followed him.
But she remained silent.
While also silent, her state was completely different from Ye Leng Leng's.
Li Tian glanced at her: "Are you jealous?"
Dugu Yan's expression faltered, and she retorted stubbornly, "Jealous? Jealous of what? You? What a joke, you don't actually think I like you, do you?"
Li Tian suddenly realized, "So I was just being presumptuous."
"Li Tian, can't you have some shame? You already have Leng Leng, and you're still trying to flirt with me. Do you really want us to serve you together?"
Dugu Yan was a little angry, but even she couldn't say why she was angry.
Li Tian remained silent.
At such a moment, even breathing was wrong; silence was the best choice.
She could only accept it slowly on her own.
"Why aren't you speaking?"
His silence only made Dugu Yan angrier, feeling like she had nowhere to vent her frustration.
"I'm shameless, I'm a scumbag, I have nothing to say."
Li Tian's voice was very low, appearing as if he had suffered a great injustice.
The anger in Dugu Yan's heart instantly dissipated.
"No, Li Tian, I didn't mean that, it's just—"
"It's just you—"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan inexplicably felt like she had done something wrong.
At this moment, she truly didn't know where to begin.
"Sigh!"
Li Tian sighed, "You don't need to say it, I know what you want to say. This is indeed my fault, I'm shameless, I'm not a good person."
Dugu Yan immediately grew anxious.
"No, I don't mean that. What I mean is, can you—"
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't utter them.
Li Tian forced a smile: "It's nothing, let's go, let's eat."
"I—sigh."
Dugu Yan was momentarily speechless, all her helplessness dissolving into a single sigh.
Then she silently followed Li Tian to the cafeteria.
The meal was very dull; neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was heavy.
"I'm going to find Teacher Qin to test my Spirit Ability."
After eating, Li Tian left with that one sentence, leaving Dugu Yan with a lonely back.
Looking at his back, Dugu Yan felt inexplicably sad.
"Phew!"
Once he confirmed Dugu Yan hadn't followed, Li Tian finally let out a heavy breath.
Building a harem was indeed not that easy.
If he hadn't been rational enough, he might not have been able to get away with it today.
Li Tian sought out Qin Ming.
After a series of tests, the conclusion was that even a Spirit Ancestor could not break Li Tian's second Spirit Ability.
A Spirit King would need to go all out to break it.
One must know that Li Tian was only at the Spirit Grandmaster Realm, which showed how powerful this Spirit Ability was.
The only drawback was that it lacked growth potential.
Unless Li Tian could increase its duration through a divine trial, it would definitely be phased out later on.
However, this was normal.
No Spirit Master's early Spirit Abilities could be used all the way to the Titled Douluo level, which was why many people preferred to choose percentage-based amplification for their first few spirit rings.
If possible, Li Tian also wanted to add more percentage-based amplification Spirit Abilities.
After all, he wasn't lacking in various methods.
It's just that percentage-based amplification Spirit Abilities aren't something you can get just by wanting them.
Luck plays a significant role.
After testing his Spirit Ability, it was already dusk, and the imitation cultivation ground had closed.
Li Tian could only return to his dormitory to cultivate.
On the other side.
Back in her dormitory, Dugu Yan couldn't calm down. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Li Tian's lonely back, making it impossible for her to enter a meditative state.
"Oh, dear."
Failing to enter meditation again, Dugu Yan cried out in frustration and simply collapsed onto the carpet.
How could this be?
What does him being with Leng Leng have to do with me? Why did I have to say something to him?
Even if I said it,
Why am I affected by his low mood?
Could it be… No, no.
How could I fall for him? How old is he? And he's such a philanderer, he talks nonsense, and his actions are also—
Alright, his actions seem decent.
It must be because I'm too kind-hearted, I can't stand to see others suffer because of me.
That's right, that's exactly it.
Dugu Yan kept comforting herself in her heart, with a hint of self-deception in her tone.
