Qian Renxue is Surprised

In a lavish and opulent room at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qian Renxue stood alone by the window, gazing into the distance.

That direction was where Spirit City lay.

"Ever since I came to Heaven Dou, you really haven't asked about me at all?"

"Are you really that heartless?"

A trace of loneliness flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes. She truly wanted to know what that woman did every day, whether she had ever cared about her at all.

"Forget it. I'm Qian Renxue. Whether that woman cares about me or not doesn't matter!"

Before long, however, Qian Renxue hid the loneliness on her face and put on a gentle yet false smile.

Knock knock knock!!!

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

"A twelve-year-old level thirty-two Soul Elder? A commoner?"

Hearing the Admissions Teacher before her, Qian Renxue immediately rose to her feet in surprise.

Such talent instantly drew her attention.

Although Mo Bai's talent was still inferior to hers—she had long surpassed level thirty-two when she was twelve—his talent still astonished her.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"He wants to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but as Your Highness knows, our academy does not admit commoners. So I wanted to ask Your Highness whether there might be some way to make an exception and let him enroll?"

Seeing that the Crown Prince had taken an interest, the Admissions Teacher was immediately delighted and hurriedly explained.

"We'll discuss that later. Take me to meet him now. I want to see what kind of person he is!"

Qian Renxue smiled gently at that, then looked at the Admissions Teacher with approval. "Teacher Zhang Feng, right? Not bad. I'll remember you!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness!" Teacher Zhang Feng said excitedly.

"Let's go. Take me there!"

Qian Renxue nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Please follow me!"

Teacher Zhang Feng promptly replied respectfully.

"The academy's rules were established by the founding emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even I cannot change them!"

"As for this person, I may have other arrangements for him. Just pretend you never met him, understand?"

As they walked, Qian Renxue gave Teacher Zhang Feng this instruction.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I guarantee I'll forget this person!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Teacher Zhang Feng's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly made his promise.

Though the Crown Prince's tone was kind, Teacher Zhang Feng knew that if he failed to do as instructed, the consequences would certainly be severe.

Seeing Teacher Zhang Feng's reaction, Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction.

Qian Renxue indeed had some ideas regarding this suddenly appearing commoner genius. She did not yet know whether she would carry them out, but warning Teacher Zhang Feng first was enough.

Judging from Teacher Zhang Feng's expression, she knew he would keep his mouth shut.

Unless, one day, she was no longer the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!

The first impression Qian Renxue had upon seeing Mo Bai was that he was ordinary.

But upon looking more closely, Qian Renxue discovered that Mo Bai possessed an unusual air about him.

"...Hello, student. This is His Highness the Crown Prince of our Heaven Dou Empire!"

Teacher Zhang Feng hurriedly introduced Mo Bai, then turned to introduce him to Qian Renxue. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is..."

When he tried to introduce Mo Bai, Teacher Zhang Feng realized that he did not even know Mo Bai's name yet.

Nor had he verified the claim that Mo Bai was a twelve-year-old level thirty-two Soul Elder.

At that thought, a sheen of cold sweat immediately appeared on Teacher Zhang Feng's forehead. He could only hope that Mo Bai had not lied to him.

"Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I'm Mo Bai!"

Knowing that the Admissions Teacher did not yet know his name, Mo Bai took the initiative to introduce himself to Qian Renxue.

Looking at the Crown Prince before him, Mo Bai did not have any particular impression either. Just as Qian Renxue's first impression of him had been, he found the other person ordinary.

His looks were passable. But as a crown prince, wouldn't it be a bit much if he did not at least look somewhat handsome?

"Student Mo Bai, may I see your martial soul and Spirit Rings?"

Qian Renxue nodded. Her first question was naturally meant to confirm whether what Mo Bai had said was true.

As she spoke, Qian Renxue signaled Teacher Zhang Feng with her eyes.

Teacher Zhang Feng immediately indicated that he understood, then quietly withdrew.

"Alright!"

Mo Bai had no objection. With a wave of his hand, the Blue Silver Grass spirit manifested in his right palm.

Then three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple—appeared around the Blue Silver Grass spirit.

"This spirit is...?"

Seeing Mo Bai's spirit, Qian Renxue was clearly taken aback. She then looked at him uncertainly.

It looked like Blue Silver Grass, but because it had evolved, it was somewhat different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Coupled with Mo Bai's considerable level, Qian Renxue did not dare to be certain that what she was seeing was a Blue Silver Grass spirit.

"Your Highness is correct. My spirit is Blue Silver Grass!"

Mo Bai replied somewhat helplessly.

That was the downside of having Blue Silver Grass as one's spirit—people always found it hard to believe.

Seeing others stunned by it once or twice felt quite satisfying, but after too many times, it became rather dull.

"It really is Blue Silver Grass. For Student Mo Bai to raise a spirit like Blue Silver Grass to his current level, I'm sure you possess exceptional qualities!"

Qian Renxue exclaimed.

Qian Renxue was no ordinary person, so she knew that for Mo Bai to level up so quickly with a Blue Silver Grass spirit, he had to be extraordinary.

"Do you have your Spirit Hall certification with you?"

Qian Renxue then asked Mo Bai.

She could not examine his bones, so she could not determine his exact bone age. She could use a testing crystal to check his precise level, but she had no way to verify his bone age.

That was why Qian Renxue asked for his Spirit Master certification. She knew Spirit Hall well enough to know that its records were generally accurate.

Especially in a case like Mo Bai's, there was even less chance of an error.

"Mm!"

Mo Bai nodded and handed his Spirit Master certification to Qian Renxue.

"Also, this is my personal battle record from the Suoto City Grand Spirit Arena in the Balak Kingdom! Your Highness can take a look at it too!"

Mo Bai then handed Qian Renxue the proof of his records from the Suoto City Grand Spirit Arena.

The record on it could better prove his strength.

As for the proof of his record from the Suoto City Grand Spirit Arena, the arena had given it to him when he exchanged his points.

Right, points at the spirit arena could be exchanged for money.

Mo Bai had won so many consecutive matches that he had accumulated quite a few points and made a small fortune.

"A 32-match winning streak in Soul Elder-level spirit battles!"

"A 25-match winning streak in two-person team battles!"

"What truly remarkable results!"

Qian Renxue accepted them and curiously examined Mo Bai's battle record first.

After seeing Mo Bai's spirit arena record, Qian Renxue looked at him in surprise once more. Achieving a 32-match winning streak in Soul Elder-level spirit battles at Level 32 was truly no simple feat!

Setting everything else aside, his combat ability was undoubtedly excellent.

Only then did Qian Renxue open Mo Bai's Spirit Master certification and begin reading it.

In the end, Qian Renxue was convinced that Mo Bai truly was a twelve-year-old Soul Elder.

Although the level Mo Bai had stated was one rank higher than what was recorded on the certification, that was perfectly normal.

Looking at Mo Bai, Qian Renxue said, "Your talent truly is extraordinary. To achieve all this with a Blue Silver Grass spirit, even I have no choice but to admire you!"

"However, I must regretfully tell you that the rule prohibiting commoners from enrolling in Heaven Dou Royal Academy was established by the founding emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even as the Crown Prince, I cannot violate it!"

Second update. That's all for today!
