In the Spirit Hall Team, most of the time, it was Teacher Liu Can who handled the specific training and guidance. He was meticulous and strict, knowing each team member inside and out.
As for Teacher Lin Zhendong, he mainly appeared at critical moments, using his experience and wisdom to guide and encourage the team.
Just now, the spar between Yan and Xie Yue had caused quite a commotion, attracting the attention of the two teachers, which was why they had come over.
"Greetings, Teacher Lin! Greetings, Teacher Liu!"
The group greeted the two teachers in unison.
Lin Zhendong's sharp gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It looks like the three of you have completed the task assigned by Her Holiness the Pope—successfully breaking through to Rank 40 and obtaining your fourth spirit rings. Well done."
As the team captain, Xie Yue responded on behalf of the three.
"Teacher, just as you said, we have indeed accomplished it."
Yan and Hu Liena simply nodded slightly.
Lin Zhendong continued, "I heard from the other students that you two just had a sparring match, and it caused quite a stir. I'm curious—what was the result?"
Xie Yue admitted his defeat without hesitation.
"Teacher, I lost."
"Oh? You lost to Yan?"
Teacher Liu Can appeared slightly surprised. He exchanged a glance with Lin Zhendong, both seemingly caught off guard by this outcome.
"Yes, Teacher. I lost to Yan's self-created spirit skill, Blazing Sand Cage."
There was no frustration or unwillingness in Xie Yue's voice—only calm acceptance.
"Blazing Sand Cage?"
Liu Can asked with some curiosity, "Yan, is this a self-created spirit skill you developed in just two months?"
"Teacher, I had already been working on it before. Initially, I was just trying to fuse fire and earth elements to create a new technique that could trap opponents. I didn't expect it to succeed."
Yan's tone was neither arrogant nor overmodest, carrying a calm confidence. The two teachers now regarded him in a new light.
They also sensed that after the training in the Death Canyon, Yan seemed to have changed. He was no longer as aggressive and overbearing as before; instead, he had become more composed and humble.
In Yan's memory, his relationship with Teacher Lin Zhendong had never been particularly harmonious.
Lin Zhendong carried an inherent sense of pride, but he also appreciated talented individuals. However, he didn't favor Yan's sharp-edged personality.
Even in front of the teachers, Yan had sometimes displayed arrogance.
Among the Spirit Hall Team members, Lin Zhendong's favorites were the calm and collected Xie Yue and the steady and mature Sun Chuantao.
Yan understood that for Lin Zhendong to be entrusted by Bibi Dong as the head coach of the Spirit Hall Team, he was undoubtedly capable. He was not only powerful but also had extensive theoretical knowledge.
To grow stronger, humility in learning was necessary.
Yan had decided to change—he would no longer be the arrogant person he once was.
"Very good."
Lin Zhendong nodded, only uttering two simple words, without asking more about Yan's self-created spirit skill.
Then, he announced a new training plan.
"Xie Yue, Yan, and Nana have all broken through Rank 40. Your previous training regimen is no longer suitable for you. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange new training content for you."
"Understood."
The three responded in unison, all filled with anticipation and confidence for the future.
"As for the rest of you, keep up with your cultivation and strive to break through Rank 40 as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Sun Chuantao and the other three answered crisply.
Lin Zhendong nodded in satisfaction, then left the training grounds with Liu Can.
Since they had just returned to Spirit City today, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena had no training plans and could take a full day to rest and recover, preparing themselves for the upcoming challenges.
Yan left the training grounds.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena were also preparing to return to their residence, chatting as they walked along the way.
"Brother, I wonder what kind of training Teacher Lin will arrange for us tomorrow?"
"Who cares? No matter what challenges we face, we must remain calm and handle them."
"Of course."
"By the way, did Her Holiness the Pope summon you for anything special?"
"No, just a casual chat."
Thinking about how her brother had lost to Yan, Hu Liena still felt somewhat displeased.
"Brother, were you serious today? Acknowledging Yan as the boss?"
"Of course! Haven't you noticed? Yan has changed. He's not just stronger—he's also more mature and responsible. Having such a Yan as our leader isn't a bad thing."
"But..."
Hu Liena had more to say, but the words got stuck in her throat.
After thinking carefully, she had to admit that her brother was right. After this experience, Yan seemed to have undergone a transformation, like a complete rebirth.
"Nana, don't be unconvinced. Yan didn't even use his external spirit bone. If he had, I would have lost even more miserably."
"I know."
"And stop ignoring him like before. I have a feeling that Yan will soon surpass us completely. We have to work harder too."
Hu Liena frowned slightly, remaining silent, but in her heart, she whispered:
"Yan, I will not lose to you."
After returning to his residence, Yan did not rest immediately. He tidied up briefly before heading out again.
Night had fallen, and the sky was dark.
Yan walked quickly through several streets before arriving at an imposing mansion.
This was none other than Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's residence.
Looking up at the grand and gilded plaque above the gate, Yan took a deep breath before stepping forward and knocking on the door.
Before long, the door opened, and a servant peeked out.
Seeing that it was Yan, the servant was visibly surprised but quickly went to inform Yue Guan.
Not long after, Yue Guan personally came out to greet him, his face filled with curiosity and confusion.
"Yan? What brings you here so late at night?"
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I apologize for the intrusion. I have some doubts in my heart, and after thinking it over, I couldn't sleep, so I came to seek your guidance."
"Oh? Then come in quickly."
Yue Guan sized up Yan for a moment and saw that he was not joking, so he stepped aside to let him in.
Yan usually stayed at the Spirit Hall Academy, and this was his first time visiting Yue Guan's residence.
As one of Pope Bibi Dong's most trusted aides, Yue Guan clearly lived in luxury.
The interior was lavishly decorated, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
Since Yan was someone valued by Bibi Dong, Yue Guan ordered tea to be served after they were seated.
"Yan, given our relationship, there's no need for pleasantries. Just tell me directly—what's on your mind?"
Yan took a sip of tea before slowly stating his purpose.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, do you know of any methods to help me suppress the fiery aura within my body?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan furrowed his brows, a hint of incomprehension flashing across his face.
