Blocked from Entering the Academy

Whether Yu Xiaogang would end up getting slapped in the face, Su Xing did not know. Nor did he know that because of his appearance, Yu Xiaogang had found an opportunity for a breakthrough.

At this moment, Su Xing had already arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Looking at the luxurious and expansive Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then comparing it to Shrek Academy, Su Xing could not help criticizing Shrek Academy's environment for being truly terrible!

Only Tang San and the others had exceptional talent. Otherwise, without resources or a proper environment at Shrek Academy, what outstanding Spirit Masters could it possibly cultivate?

Shrek Academy's admissions began relatively early, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy only began accepting students today.

That was because Shrek Academy's admission requirements were too demanding, so it recruited students in advance. Otherwise, those who failed to get into Shrek Academy would not have time to look for other Martial Soul Academies.

"Teacher, I'm here to enroll."

"Very well. Please present proof of your noble status!"

"Alright, register over there, then pass the assessment!"

"..."

The line ahead proceeded in an orderly manner.

Having just joined the line, Su Xing's expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it, I forgot that I'm not a noble!"

Su Xing had only thought about joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy to get close to Dugu Yan, forgetting that Heaven Dou Royal Academy only admitted children of nobles.

"I can only give it a try. Qin Ming, a teacher willing to accept commoners, teaches here. If I show them my age and strength, it should work, right?"

Su Xing could only feel helpless. His family might be wealthy merchants, but they were not nobles!

"Teacher, I'm not a noble, but I'm a level 27 Soul Grandmaster at twelve years old. Can I join Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

It was finally Su Xing's turn. With no other choice, he could only explain the situation to the admissions teacher and hope for the best!

He also emphasized his age and rank.

Judging purely by age and rank, Su Xing's talent was considered top-tier throughout Douluo Continent.

If even this did not qualify him for special admission, it could only prove that this academy was rotten to the core.

"What did you say? Twelve years old and level 27?"

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the admissions teacher stood up at once and stared at him in shock.

"A test will tell!"

Seeing the teacher's astonishment, Su Xing felt there was hope.

"Right! Test him immediately."

The admissions teacher hurried over to borrow the Testing Crystal Ball from the teacher in charge of Soul Power tests for newly registered applicants.

"Come on, pour your Soul Power into it!" the admissions teacher said eagerly as he looked at Su Xing.

There were only a few students in all of Heaven Dou Royal Academy who were level 27 at twelve years old. Of course the admissions teacher was eager.

"A twelve-year-old level 27 Soul Grandmaster?"

"No way?"

"Is there anyone this outstanding among this year's applicants?"

"No. There were a few last year and the year before, but none this year!"

"Who is he? Which noble family is he from? Or did he come from some great sect?"

"..."

While Su Xing infused the crystal with Soul Power, the students nearby who had heard the admissions teacher's cry of surprise were also shocked. They all turned to look at Su Xing, wanting to see whether it was true.

Su Xing had nothing to worry about. He had already been tested once at Shrek Academy.

Blue light bloomed from the Testing Crystal Ball, and then the number 27 appeared upon its surface.

"It really is level 27. Hold out your hand!"

Seeing this, the admissions teacher eagerly wanted to confirm whether Su Xing was truly only twelve years old.

Su Xing did as he was told.

"It's actually true!"

"No problem. Heaven Dou Royal Academy can accept you!"

After confirming it, the admissions teacher said so in delight.

"Wait, Teacher..."

"I heard just now that he doesn't seem to be a noble. How can you let him join Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Doesn't this place have a rule that only nobles may enter? This was a rule established by the founding emperor himself."

After the admissions teacher finished speaking, the student who had been standing behind Su Xing stepped out unhappily and questioned him.

The student's gaze toward Su Xing was clearly filled with jealousy!

"He isn't a noble?"

"So he's a commoner!"

"..."

Only after hearing that student's words did the others realize Su Xing was a commoner, and their voices immediately took on a disdainful tone.

Just moments ago, they had been envious of Su Xing's talent!

"That's right, Teacher. Heaven Dou Royal Academy has rules against accepting commoners!"

"Exactly. If you let him enter the academy, we'll file a complaint against you!"

"That's right! What right does a commoner have to attend the same academy as us?"

"Exactly..."

Then, they all began speaking up as well, echoing the first student's words.

"This..."

Seeing so many students object, the admissions teacher was immediately put in a difficult position.

If no one caused trouble, specially admitting a commoner would not be a big deal. But if this truly turned into a disturbance, it would be difficult to handle!

The admissions teacher knew that they were jealous that Su Xing, a mere commoner, possessed such extraordinary talent.

If Su Xing were allowed into the academy, he would surpass them in talent!

What right did a commoner have to stand above them!

"Kid, don't think that having a bit of talent means you can enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This isn't a place a commoner like you can come to."

The boy who had first spoken was greatly satisfied by this and sneered at Su Xing.

"..."

Su Xing was rather speechless at this development. It seemed the admissions teacher had been pressured into not daring to specially admit him.

"Teacher, with talent like mine, I still can't enter Heaven Dou?" Su Xing ignored the jealous students around him and merely looked at the admissions teacher as he asked.

Honestly, Su Xing could not believe that Heaven Dou Royal Academy was truly this bad.

In the original story, Tang San and the others had been rejected only because Prince Xue Xing had interfered.

He had not expected that now, the objections of merely a group of students would be enough to put the admissions teacher in such a difficult position.

"Don't worry. Wait here for a moment. I'll go ask the headmaster!"

The admissions teacher reassured Su Xing. He no longer dared to make the decision himself and could only consult the headmaster.

However, he believed the headmaster would not be so shortsighted!

Last year, they had even recruited a commoner as a teacher!

"Make way, everyone! His Highness Xue Qinghe is here!"

Just then, a commotion rose from behind them. Many students quickly stepped aside, opening up a broad path.

Then, Prince Xue Qinghe, handsome and carrying an air of nobility, walked over.

"Your Highness!"

Upon seeing Xue Qinghe, the admissions teacher hurried forward.

"What is going on?"

Xue Qinghe nodded, then began asking about the situation.

As he spoke, Xue Qinghe's gaze also settled on Su Xing!

I have the third driving test in a few days, so I need to practice more. Hopefully, I'll pass on the first try.
