Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

At the Northland Academy, a dedicated training ground provided for participating teams, two parties were facing off.

On one side were Franco and a middle-aged man wearing dark blue clothes, and on the other side were Romil and Lei Yin.

Aria, Vidal, Binglan, and Yanjin stood aside, making a gesture of not helping each other.

"What are you talking about? You want me to become a substitute and let this kid take my place?" Romil said while picking his nose and ears while looking at the middle-aged man.

"That's right, I hope you can be more sensible and agree obediently, otherwise you will suffer a lot, and you may not even be qualified to be an alternate in the end." Franco raised his chin slightly and said with a proud face.

"Just you?" Romil said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "You were eliminated by Brady and had no power to fight back on the field. You are so awesome..."

"Shut up!" Franco's face was full of anger. This was the last thing he wanted to hear people mention recently.

He suddenly smiled at Romil, "You can only show off your words now. No matter how you protest, you can't change the final result... Because your teammates all support me to replace you!"

Romil frowned and looked at the four people on the other side who didn't want to interfere at all.

"You will support me becoming a regular player, right?" Franco asked them.

"Well, that's right." Yan Jin answered simply.

"Support." Binglan had no expression on her face.

Vidal looked at Romil teasingly and nodded.

Aaliya showed a smile and said in a voice like a silver bell:

"I'm sorry... Compared to a rude commoner like you, an elegant nobleman is more in line with our requirements."

Franco's mother, Alyssa Rhodes, contacted Earl Ironheart and Marquis Ficles respectively through the influence of the Rhodes family. After promising certain benefits, she obtained their permission. Under the influence of the family, Vidal and Alia had to support Franco.

In addition, they actually don't like Romil very much, and they can replace him without going against their own wishes.

Binglan comes from a wealthy businessman family. After Alyssa came to visit his father, he was so enthusiastic that he wanted to send Binglan directly to Franco's bed. Under pressure from her father, she had to agree to this.

As for Rock Ember, it was authorized by Walter, which was part of the deal between Salas and Walter.

Romil was silent. He clicked his tongue and asked, "Is this the captain's decision?"

"Probably not... at least I haven't received such news." Lei Yin patted his shoulder, "So before I receive news from Amon, I will stand by your side. We are teammates!"

"Huh? If you object, which family does your boy come from? He won't be a wild child without adults, right?" Franco frowned.

Mom should have already taken care of everything. Through the connections behind the team members, she can influence the attitudes of the members, thus squeezing out Romil, a civilian with no background... He thought to himself.

There were originally two targets to choose from, Binglan and Romil. Considering that Binglan's father is a wealthy businessman and she is not as annoying as Romil, they targeted the latter.

Vidal was stunned. How did Franco do his intelligence work? Until now, you don’t even know the relationship between Lei Yin and Yan Jin?

"Who the hell are you calling a wild child?" Yan Jin's fist stamped on Franco's face, knocking him to the ground.

"Classmate Yan Jin, stop it." The middle-aged man who came with Franco said sternly.

"Shut up, or I'll beat you up too!" Yan Jin glanced at him, feeling annoyed, and kicked Franco twice.

Franco originally wanted to get angry, but when he saw it was Yan Jing, he shrank his neck. He couldn't hit him again and again, and his background didn't give him an advantage. What could he do?

"Wait a minute, aren't you supposed to be on my side?" he hummed, a little aggrieved in his tone.

"I support you as the old man said...but that doesn't stop me from beating you up."

Yan Jin grabbed his collar, brought his face closer, and said with a rather eerie expression: "What are you dissatisfied with my brother?"

Is he your brother? Then why don't you stand on our side... Franco opened his mouth but did not ask the question.

"You guys... are really lively." A young man wearing a black robe, a pointed hat, and a monocle on his right eye walked slowly over.

"Amon...didn't the old man tell you?" Yan Jin put down Franco and asked with some doubts.

Lei Yin's attitude made her realize that something bad might happen this time. Amon didn't seem to know about Franco's replacement of Romil.

Amon said "ha", "Some people seem to only remember to contact the forces behind you, and have forgotten us, the rightful owners."

He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man said with a bit of arrogance: "My name is Sun Boyuan. I am the instructor assigned to you by the college. In the future, I will also lead the team and lead you to participate in the Soul Master Competition."

"Instructor?" Amon looked at Vidal with a questioning look in his eyes.

Vidal quickly replied: "The academy will assign instructors to participating teams. Matters such as personnel and tactical arrangements for the competition are generally decided jointly by the instructor and the team captain after discussion."

"Captain, someone wants to replace me based on the connections behind my back... I will obey your arrangement." Romil gave a somewhat forced smile.

Amon chuckled, "Are you sure that there are so many people supporting Franco? It's really just a matter of background."

"Well, I can only say that I have used the skills of provoking wild boars that my teacher taught me very profoundly." Romil shrugged.

"As for replacing you... have you asked me for my opinion? I don't agree." Amon said calmly to Franco beside him.

"What happened?" Two men walked over from a distance.

One of them is a strong man with a strong build, a resolute face, and short black hair. He is the principal of the Northland Advanced Soul Master Academy and the Seventy-first Level Soul Saint Zhong Yuming.

The other person was wearing gorgeous gold and blue clothes, with a neatly trimmed mustache on his lips and chin, and his face was somewhat similar to Franco.

"Principal, Count Rhodes, good afternoon..." Alia greeted with a voice like a silver bell, and at the same time pointed out the identity of another person for Amon.

"Are you... having a conflict?" Golan Rhodes pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, Lord Rhodes, we have a slight disagreement about who should play as a regular member of the team.

"I, as well as these four team members, all think that Franco is more suitable than Romil, but Amon went against everyone's wishes and insisted on letting Romil play." Sun Boyuan took a step forward and bowed slightly behind him.

Principal Zhong Yuming glanced at Golan and frowned slightly.
