Heaven Dou Royal Academy

After Ye Xiaobao and the others arrived at the Education Committee's entrance, the three committee members came out to greet them as well.

He saw that Meng Shenji's hair was completely white, and even his beard was dusted with snow-white strands.

Meng Shenji had heard that a Soul Douluo had come to join them, and he was quite excited. After all, the academy currently only had three Soul Douluo.

He introduced himself with a smile:

"I am Meng Shenji, Chief of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee. My martial soul is Black Demon. I am a control-type soul master, with Soul Power at level eighty-six."

After speaking, he raised a hand to introduce another.

"This is the Deputy Chief of the Education Committee, Bai Baoshan. His martial soul is the Heavenly Star Furnace, and he is a level eighty-five defense-type Battle Soul Douluo."

Bai Baoshan looked like a somewhat plump old man. He merely nodded lightly in greeting.

"This is the third member of the Education Committee, Zhi Lin. His martial soul is Sky Blue Vine, and he is a level eighty-three control-type Tool Soul Douluo."

Zhi Lin also nodded in greeting. He looked rather thin overall.

Meng Shenji looked toward Dong Bo.

"I heard that you wish to join our academy, sir?"

After hearing the three introduce themselves, Dong Bo knew it was his turn.

"Greetings. My name is Dong Lin. I am a level eighty-nine assault-type soul master, and my martial soul is the Iron Claw Wind Eagle."

Meng Shenji was quite surprised to hear that Dong Bo's Soul Power had actually reached level eighty-nine.

He was only one level away from becoming a Titled Douluo. They had truly struck gold.

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin were equally shocked. Why would an eighty-nine-level Soul Douluo like this take the initiative to come knocking?

Meng Shenji warmly welcomed the two into the Education Committee.

The group entered the Education Committee.

The furnishings inside were rather simple. There were three seats at the head, with two rows of seats arranged along either side below.

Several potted plants sat on the windowsills on both sides, and they appeared to be well tended.

After the three took their seats, Dong Bo sat in the foremost seat on the left, while Ye Xiaobao stood behind him.

Meng Shenji asked first:

"With Mr. Dong's Soul Power level, why have I never heard of your name before? And why have you chosen our Heaven Dou Royal Academy this time?"

It was not only his question; the other two had the same thoughts.

Dong Bo remained calm. Ye Xiaobao had already prepared an explanation for him on the way here.

He replied with a smile:

"I have mainly been cultivating in seclusion and never traveled through the soul master world. Now that I have taken in a disciple, I came to your esteemed academy for his future. After all, only competition can allow soul masters to improve quickly."

After saying that, he added:

"Besides, do you not think that I need a trustworthy place to break through to Titled Douluo?"

Meng Shenji and the other two exchanged glances. The next moment, they all laughed, their doubts temporarily dispelled.

"That is true. Mr. Dong's Soul Power has already reached level eighty-nine. You are only a step away from becoming a Titled Douluo. We can only look up at you from afar."

Bai Baoshan smiled honestly, unconsciously patting his belly again and again.

"I wonder, what is your disciple's Soul Power level?"

At Bai Baoshan's question, Ye Xiaobao stepped forward.

"Seniors, I am a level thirty-one assault-type Tool Soul Master."

Because he possessed the Transformation Method, even his soul rings could change. Thus, he pretended to be a Soul Elder.

"Not bad, not bad. Judging by your age, you should be eighteen, correct? You may enter the Heavenly Dou Rank."

Zhi Lin nodded in satisfaction after speaking.

The academy had gained another genius.

"What eighteen? He is clearly only twelve."

Seeing Ye Xiaobao underestimated, Dong Bo declared Ye Xiaobao's age with an unhappy expression.

"Twelve!"

"Impossible."

"Even if he started cultivating in his mother's womb, he could not have become a Soul Elder by twelve!"

The three naturally refused to believe that such a genius existed in the world.

Even Tang Hao, known as the youngest Titled Douluo, could not possibly have become a Soul Elder at twelve.

Ye Xiaobao was rather speechless. Was Dong Bo not just making him stand out?

Meng Shenji naturally doubted Ye Xiaobao's age. After considering it for a moment, he asked:

"Mr. Dong, may I test your disciple's bone age?"

Hearing this, Dong Bo looked at Ye Xiaobao. Ye Xiaobao nodded.

"Test him."

At those words, Meng Shenji rose to his feet, walked over to Ye Xiaobao, and reached out to feel his arm.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He turned back excitedly.

"He truly is twelve!"

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin immediately stood up in excitement as well.

"Heavens have blessed the academy, granting us such a genius!"

Dong Bo rolled his eyes at the three of them and thought, They look like they've never seen the world. If these people knew the young master's true strength, they'd be scared to death.

Meng Shenji excitedly sat back down.

Just as he was about to speak.

Someone outside announced that Prince Xue Xing had arrived.

Meng Shenji and the other two immediately had a bad feeling.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was under Prince Xue Xing's jurisdiction, and they did not get along particularly well with him.

However, the three of them could directly seek an audience with His Majesty the Emperor, so they were not overly afraid of Prince Xue Xing.

Not long after.

Prince Xue Xing swaggered into the Education Committee with two others.

Prince Xue Xing appeared nearly seventy years old. He was dressed in noble attire, his face full of arrogance and defiance.

Ye Xiaobao recognized the last old man at a glance. He was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, dressed in purple robes!

Dugu Yan, his granddaughter, followed behind him. Both wore haughty expressions.

Dugu Bo was also one of Ye Xiaobao's greatest targets this time.

The Shrek Seven Devils' true leap in strength had come from the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But since he was here, those Immortal Herbs naturally belonged to him.

Prince Xue Xing had originally come to discuss Dugu Yan's enrollment with the three committee members. He had personally accompanied her to show respect for Dugu Bo.

Seeing that they had guests, he was somewhat displeased, feeling that he had not been properly respected.

"Three committee members, you have guests? Why have you not introduced them to this prince?"

Meng Shenji's expression darkened.

This useless prince was good for nothing and ruined everything. He had better not botch these two joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He bowed and said, "Prince Xue Xing, these two are about to join the academy."

"This is Mr. Dong Lin, a level eighty-nine Soul Douluo. This is his disciple."

Upon hearing that he was a level eighty-nine Soul Douluo, Prince Xue Xing's attitude made a complete one-hundred-eighty-degree turn.

After saving Poison Douluo last time and successfully recruiting a Titled Douluo for the royal family, his standing within the royal family had risen sharply.

"So it is Mr. Dong. I have long admired you. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy welcomes you to join us."

After saying that, Prince Xue Xing stepped forward and warmly shook his hand.

It was as though Dong Bo had been recruited by him.

However, he had already decided that he would soon report the good news to His Majesty. Recruiting another level eighty-nine Soul Douluo was another great achievement.

Dugu Bo, standing beside him, also set aside the airs he had worn upon entering.

Level eighty-nine was enough to earn some of his respect, though not enough for him to take Dong Bo seriously.

After all, he might not rank among the strongest Titled Douluo, but against anyone below that rank, he could completely crush them.

Seeing Prince Xue Xing being so courteous, Dong Bo also rose politely to greet him.

The young master had said that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was an important part of his training plan.

The entire Education Committee immediately became harmonious. Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo also took seats on the right.

Dugu Yan did not remain standing either, instead sitting beside Dugu Bo.

The wrinkles on Prince Xue Xing's old face were deep enough to catch flies as he smiled.

"Chief Meng, I have come this time to introduce an unparalleled genius to you. This Dugu Yan is Jade Serpent Douluo's own granddaughter, and her Soul Power has already reached level thirty-five. What do you think? She is qualified to enter the Heavenly Dou Rank, correct?"

After saying that, he looked toward Dugu Yan.

"You must know that she is only eighteen this year. Perhaps she will become another Titled Douluo in the future. Then Senior Dugu's family will have two Douluo, and it will surely become a fine tale."

Hearing Prince Xue Xing's praise, Dugu Yan proudly raised her chin, as though that was naturally the case.

It seemed she had received no shortage of praise since childhood.

Dugu Bo also looked quite pleased. His son had died early, and the person he treasured most in this life was this granddaughter.
