Douluo 2: Check-In Douluo Dalu

The two of them kept chatting until they almost lost track of time. Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the start of class. Wang Dong and Wang Feng immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Damn, I forgot about this."

"This is your fault. Just don't make us late."

They ran towards the classroom with all their might. Along the way, they met Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi, who had just returned from the spirit tool testing area.

Wang Dong and Wang Feng paused for a moment when they saw Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi in the corridor. Their breaths were still heavy from running.

"Yuhao! Are you done with Teacher Zhou?" Wang Dong asked, trying to catch his breath.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, just finished. Why are you guys in such a hurry?"

Wang Feng grinned. "It's Wang Dong's fault. He made me lose track of time."

"Nonsense! You're the one who kept rambling!" Wang Dong replied, his face turning red, then quickly changed the subject. "How was your talk with Teacher Zhou?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Zhou Yi, standing beside her, spoke firmly, "You two should have been in class five minutes ago."

Wang Feng and Wang Dong exchanged guilty looks.

Wang Feng quickly hid behind Wang Dong. "It's all Wang Dong's fault, Teacher! He was the one who started talking to me!"

Wang Dong turned his head in frustration. "Traitor!"

"That's true, you were the one who came to chat in the room and made us late."

"Nonsense! Isn't it also because you kept asking me questions?"

They continued arguing and pinching each other's clothes.

Zhou Yi gently massaged his temples, trying to keep his composure while watching these two talented students behave like kindergarteners. Huo Yuhao could only smile awkwardly, trying to hold back laughter at their little quarrel.

"Enough!" Zhou Yi finally shouted, his voice echoing through the corridor. Wang Feng and Wang Dong immediately stopped, their hands still gripping each other's clothes, then stood upright like two soldiers caught in the act.

"If you have that much energy for arguing, you'd better use it for training later in class. Now get inside before I really mark you as late."

"Yes, Teacher Zhou!" they answered in unison, then hurried to the classroom with quick yet still awkward steps from embarrassment.

Zhou Yi glanced at Huo Yuhao briefly. "At least you can still maintain your manners."

Huo Yuhao bowed lightly. "Thank you, Teacher. Then I will go in with them." Actually, she felt a bit jealous of Wang Dong because he was so close to Wang Feng. Even though they were both 'boys,' their personalities were very different.

As soon as they entered the classroom, Wang Feng and Wang Dong were immediately met with curious glances from other students. Some chuckled at Wang Dong's slightly messy hair and Wang Feng's expression, which looked like someone who had just been scolded by his mother.

"Are those two fighting again?" whispered a student in the corner. He was someone who had once been in the same class with Wang Dong, Wang Feng, and Huo Yuhao.

"Looks like it. But it's funny seeing them like a newlywed couple," another whispered while trying not to laugh.

Wang Dong overheard and immediately turned around, glaring sharply at them. "We are not like that!"

Wang Feng just chuckled softly, sitting casually in his chair. "Relax, Wang Dong. They're just jealous because we're too perfect together."

"Shut up!" Wang Dong punched Wang Feng lightly on the shoulder.

Shortly after, Huo Yuhao also entered the classroom. She sat to the left of Wang Feng. Their seating arrangement was still the same as before. Only now, Xiao Xiao sat near Wang Dong.

When Huo Yuhao sat down, Wang Dong, who was beside Wang Feng, asked, "Yuhao, what did Teacher Zhou talk to you about?"

Huo Yuhao answered, "Teacher Zhou explained the reason I was allowed to choose a department earlier—even though the selection is supposed to happen in the third year."

"So?" Wang Dong pressed, curious.

"Teacher Zhou took me to the Spirit Tool Department. There, I met Teacher Fan Yu—the man I told you about. It turned out he was the cause."

Huo Yuhao continued, "Teacher Fan Yu was impressed by the power of my first spirit ring and reported it to Vice Dean Qian Duoduo. Vice Dean Qian became interested and decided to test me during the finals of our match. He even made a bet with Dean Yan: if he won, he would have the right to choose one student for the Spirit Tool Department without any restrictions. And he won."

"After that, Teacher Fan Yu tested my spirit again. Because he was satisfied, he offered me to become his disciple. I accepted, then returned to class with Teacher Zhou."

Wang Feng asked Huo Yuhao, "So, you've already joined the Spirit Tool Department?"

"Yes. Starting tomorrow, I might come home later than usual because Teacher Fan Yu told me to come to him every day after school."

Class then began.

Each class in the academy has two homeroom teachers. Their homeroom teachers were Zhou Yi and Wang Yan— a teacher who was very curious about Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul.

When transferred to this class, Wang Yan was also warned by Yan Shaoze to pay special attention to a student named Wang Feng.

Behind the podium, Wang Yan said, "Now we will select the class monitor and assistant monitor. Since all students in our class are combat spirit experts from the offensive and control departments, the monitor and assistant monitor will be a student from the offensive and control departments respectively, and the positions will rotate every month. I will nominate the candidates, and then everyone will vote anonymously."

While speaking, she turned to the board and wrote two rankings on the board. The first row was labeled offensive department, and the names below it were Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, Zhou Sichen, Huang Chutian, and Wu Feng.

The second row was the control department, and the first name listed was Huo Yuhao, followed by Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo.

There were nine names written on the board in total, and the order of the names showed what Wang Yan was thinking. Although Dean Yan had already told her to pay attention to Wang Feng, because Wang Yan did not yet know how strong Wang Feng was, she only knew that Wang Feng was a student who revealed having a purple spirit ring in the first spirit ring and a black one in the second during the entrance exam.

Wang Dong's name was written first in the offensive department without objection from anyone. After all, their team had just won the freshman championship, and Wang Dong was the absolute main force. Although he did not yet have a third-level spirit ring cultivation, everyone had already seen the power of his Light Goddess Butterfly.

However, when Huo Yuhao's name appeared first on the control department list, many whispers broke out. Students from the same freshman class knew Huo Yuhao as their class president and understood how hard she worked. But most students from other freshman classes seemed to underestimate her.

Even though Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao won the freshman championship, many students secretly said that Huo Yuhao was the luckiest among all freshmen this year. A one-ring spirit master with a spirit ring only ten years old could become the champion and receive treatment as a core student. This not only sparked envy but also jealousy from many.
