Heading to the Heaven Dou Empire

Another hour passed.

Only then did the two slowly emerge from the room.

The maids beside them hurriedly dropped to their knees at the sight of the pair.

"Greetings, Miss. Greetings, Son-in-law."

"You may leave." Qian Renxue had already returned to her original appearance.

Her voice was icy, devoid of even a trace of emotion.

After leaving the courtyard,

Liu Yi asked, "Xue Er, are you still going to the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Renxue stopped walking and nodded heavily, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Yes. The time isn't right yet. I can't stay in Spirit City for too long."

"Then can I go to the Heaven Dou Empire and become a teacher?"

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. "Of course you can."

How had she not thought of that?

If Liu Yi became a teacher in the Heaven Dou Empire, they could stay together all the time.

"When are you leaving?"

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue said, "This afternoon. I can't be away from the Heaven Dou Empire for too long, or people will become suspicious."

"Alright. I'll go with you. That way, we can stay together."

Liu Yi held Qian Renxue tightly.

At noon.

A golden carriage stopped outside Spirit City. Under Qian Daoliu's watchful gaze, the two slowly departed.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the retreating carriage and said in a low voice,

"Big Brother, that boy..."

"Don't worry. Since he dared swear upon his Martial Soul, he won't betray Little Xue."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was still somewhat worried. If Liu Yi were merely an ordinary Soul Master with no background, that would have been one thing.

But he was Sword Saint Chen Xin's nephew. Something was bound to happen eventually.

After a day of travel, the two finally reached the border of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue tightly embraced Liu Yi. Only after the carriage came to a stop did she release him.

"Husband, I'm going to become Xue Qinghe now."

Liu Yi nodded. "I know. Don't worry. No matter what you become, I'll love you."

Qian Renxue smiled sweetly. Golden light enveloped her body. Gradually, Qian Renxue's aura faded away, replaced by that of a young man.

The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.

"Stop! Present your identification!"

The Heaven Dou Empire's Guard Captain rushed over and blocked the carriage's path.

Qian Renxue stuck her head out. "I am Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Stand down."

Upon seeing Xue Qinghe, the Guard Captain hurriedly cleared a path, then knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Crown Prince."

Qian Renxue said indifferently, "Proceed."

After entering the Heaven Dou Empire, everyone around them looked toward the golden carriage, their eyes full of shock.

Anyone who could ride in a carriage made of gold was undoubtedly a member of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family.

Upon arriving at the Heaven Dou Empire's palace, Xue Qinghe stepped down from the carriage, with Liu Yi following closely behind.

Qian Renxue whispered, "Husband, I'll arrange for you to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy first. I'll come find you whenever I have time."

"Alright. Tell me about the teaching qualifications at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Qian Renxue smiled. "Heaven Dou Royal Academy divides its students into three stages. Those below level twenty-five are Heaven Minor Grade, those between level twenty-five and thirty are Heaven Supreme Grade, and those above level thirty enter the highest Heaven Dou Grade."

"The teachers are the same. Levels fifty to sixty are Heaven Minor Grade teachers, levels sixty to seventy are Heaven Supreme Grade teachers, and those above level seventy are Heaven Dou Grade teachers. Husband, you're a level sixty-three Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor, so you can apply to be a Heaven Supreme Grade teacher."

"Ah, alright." Liu Yi nodded.

"Husband, the academy's main campus is halfway up the mountain, while the mimicry zones are scattered above and below it."

"How many students does Heaven Dou Royal Academy currently have?"

"More than five hundred, approximately, but... they're basically all noble students."

At that, Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly.

Before long, the two arrived at the entrance to the Joint Committee.

At that moment, three old men had already been waiting outside the main hall for quite some time.

The three old men were the chief and deputy chiefs of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Committee.

All three wore black robes embroidered with strange patterns in golden thread.

When the three old men saw Xue Qinghe, they hurriedly ran over.

The entire Education Committee of Heaven Dou Royal Academy answered to First Prince Xue Qinghe.

"Greetings, Crown Prince."

"Gentlemen, I've brought a teacher. Please arrange a class and courses for him." Qian Renxue spoke softly to the old men.

Meng Shenji carefully observed Liu Yi. It was the first time the Crown Prince had recommended an instructor, leaving them somewhat surprised.

Just who was this young fellow?

"Alright, Your Highness. Let's speak inside."

Xue Qinghe nodded and followed the three old men into the Education Committee.

"Three Soul Douluos! So this is Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Committee. Interesting." Liu Yi frowned.

He followed them into the Education Committee.

The Education Committee was not as luxurious as he had imagined. It felt rather plain.

There were only some ordinary furnishings and green plants, nothing more.

At the very front were three chairs, belonging to the three members of the Education Committee.

There were another six chairs on each side. Altogether, the entire hall contained only fifteen chairs.

If there were too many people, they could only stand at the back.

"Your Highness, please sit."

Meng Shenji made a welcoming gesture.

Xue Qinghe nodded and sat down hard in a chair. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her lower body, and her little face immediately flushed crimson.

Liu Yi noticed it as well and hurried to her side, pouring gentle Soul Power into her body.

Under Liu Yi's Soul Power, her complexion improved somewhat.

Meng Shenji and the other two exchanged looks before asking in confusion, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Xue Qinghe said calmly, "Nothing."

"Let me introduce him. This is..."

Liu Yi interrupted Qian Renxue.

"Three seniors, this junior is Liu Yi, a level sixty-three Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. My Martial Soul is the Seven Kill Sword."

As Liu Yi spoke, six soul rings abruptly descended slowly from above his head.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black!

"Four black!" Meng Shenji and the other two shot to their feet in horror, their eyes filled with shock.

Was he even human?

At the side, Qian Renxue wore a proud expression, as though she were saying, My man is impressive, isn't he?

"Little brother, your Martial Soul is the Seven Kill Sword. Could it be that you are..."

"That's right. I'm from the Chen Family."

"If you're from the Chen Family, why are you called Liu Yi?"

Liu Yi said softly, "This junior does not wish to bring up that matter. Please forgive me, seniors."

The three exchanged glances, too stunned to say anything.

Of course, they were not shocked by Liu Yi's Martial Soul or his name, but by the six soul rings on his body.

From his memories, Liu Yi learned that this body was only eighteen years old, the same age as Qian Renxue.

Reaching the rank of Soul Emperor at eighteen was something even Tang San could not achieve.

"Little brother, your strength qualifies you to become a Heaven Supreme Grade teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I'll make the arrangements. Someone will take you to your class shortly."

"Alright. Thank you for the trouble, three seniors."

Meng Shenji smiled. "No need to be so polite. Come to think of it, I've met Sword Douluo several times before."
