Half a Year's Results, Soul Grandmaster.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy Dean's Office.

Li Chang'an arrived here under the guidance of a teacher.

This place was located at the center of the academy's main campus. It was the largest building in the entire main campus. Though it looked like a single-story building, its highest point was over ten meters tall, and up close, it was quite imposing.

"The Three Education Commissioners are inside. Don't be nervous after you go in. Just answer whatever the commissioners ask you," the teacher who had brought him said gently.

"I understand. Thank you, teacher." Li Chang'an nodded, putting on an obedient and sensible appearance.

The unknown teacher nodded, then smiled and patted his head before leaving on his own.

He pushed open the door and walked into the Education Committee.

Li Chang'an found that the Education Committee was not as luxurious as he had imagined. On the contrary, the office and residence of three dignified Soul Douluo were extremely simple inside. There were only the necessary furnishings, with a few simple green plants as decoration.

At this moment, the Three Education Commissioners had originally been working separately. When they saw him push the door open and walk in, their eyes lit up one after another. Smiles appeared on their three old faces, and they looked exceptionally kind.

"Greetings, Three Education Commissioners."

Li Chang'an greeted them first, and solemnly performed the junior's salute of the Soul Master World. Although his status as Imperial Son-in-Law meant he did not need to offer such a grand salute, no one would fault excessive courtesy. Acting a little obedient and sensible was never a bad thing.

"No need for ceremony, no need."

Sure enough, seeing him so modest, the Three Education Commissioners, all conservatively estimated to be over ninety years old, wore smiles on their faces. One of the commissioners rose from his seat and walked up to him, saying with exceptional warmth, "No wonder Your Majesty is full of praise for you. You are indeed a fine young man, humble and courteous. Come, sit down and talk."

The commissioner who had taken the initiative to rise was the chief of the Education Committee, Meng Shenji. His Martial Soul was Black Demon, and he was a control-system rank eighty-six eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo.

The other two commissioners were respectively the second seat of the Education Committee, Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan. His Martial Soul was the Heavenly Star Furnace, and he was a defense-system rank eighty-five eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo.

And the third seat of the Education Committee, Soul Douluo Zhi Lin. His Martial Soul was the Azure Vine, and he was a control-system rank eighty-three eight-ring Tool Soul Douluo.

These Three Education Commissioners could be said to be the strongest figures openly known in the Heaven Dou Empire. The strength of a Soul Douluo was enough to move freely amid thousands of troops, coming and going as they pleased. When Titled Douluo did not appear, Soul Douluo were the top powerhouses of the Soul Master World.

And with three Soul Douluo-level powerhouses holding the fort, one could see just how deep the foundations of Heaven Dou Royal Academy were. If not for the fact that the academy only recruited nobles, causing its atmosphere to be rather poor and its students to slack off and indulge in luxury and pleasure, then with such abundant teaching resources, Heaven Dou Royal Academy absolutely would not have been as disappointing as in the Original Work.

As a Marquis of the empire and the emperor's son-in-law, if Li Chang'an wanted to enter an academy to study, then without a doubt, Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the best choice. Because here, he would inevitably receive the best resource cultivation. Whether it was his daily cultivation environment, teacher resources, or hunting soul rings... he could enjoy the best treatment in all of it.

Emperor Xue Ye placed great hopes on this future son-in-law. He had even greeted the Three Education Commissioners in advance, telling them to use the best resources to cultivate him! He was counting on him to become a Titled Douluo in the future and support the Heaven Dou Empire's reputation.

One had to know that on the surface, the Heaven Dou Empire did not even have a single Titled Douluo. Compared to those forces with top powerhouses, it inevitably seemed somewhat thin. Because of this, they urgently needed a powerhouse strong enough to hold up appearances.

And Li Chang'an, who came from a noble background of impeccable roots and possessed astonishing aptitude, was without a doubt the best candidate. So in this academy, he would inevitably receive the best resources and treatment. Even a prince might not receive resources as good as his.

The Three Education Commissioners fussed over Li Chang'an warmly, treating him with the same kindness they would show a beloved grandson. Part of this was naturally due to Emperor Xue Ye's secret instructions, but even more of it was love for talent. After all, a mutant Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power—no one would doubt that he could become a Titled Douluo in the future.

If not for his status, the Three Education Commissioners would probably have fought to take him as a disciple.

Their strength had already reached its limit at Soul Douluo. In this lifetime, they had no chance of breaking through to the Titled realm. But if they could nurture a Titled Douluo, if they could have a Titled Douluo as their disciple, then this life could be considered complete, making up for their regrets.

Unfortunately, the Three Education Commissioners each came from great noble families, with many interests tied up behind them, and already carried the possibility of threatening imperial power. If they then took such a future Titled Douluo as a disciple, that would practically be challenging the emperor's bottom line.

So even though the Three Education Commissioners were tempted and badly wanted to take him as a disciple, they could not possibly do so.

In the end, after a conversation,

they could only watch him with regretful eyes as he followed the teacher away toward his own dormitory.

As someone the emperor had secretly ordered to be given the best resources,

Li Chang'an's dormitory in Heaven Dou Academy looked from the outside like an independent courtyard. It even had a flowerbed, a pavilion, and a small garden. This formed a sharp contrast with the single rooms assigned to other people.

In the past, this kind of treatment was usually reserved for princes. Now he had it too.

And just like that,

Li Chang'an began his pleasant academy life.

During the day, he attended classes, studying all sorts of knowledge related to soul beasts and soul masters. Along with that, there were also etiquette, culture, history, and so on.

Most of the rest of his time was spent cultivating, cultivating, cultivating as if his life depended on it!

This diligent appearance made the Three Education Commissioners, who had been secretly paying attention to him all along, nod repeatedly as they watched. He was only six this year, exactly the age when children loved to play. Yet he actually possessed such perseverance and self-discipline, abandoning unnecessary socializing and play. Aside from studying, whenever he had time, he cultivated.

He was already a genius, yet he was still this hardworking.

If a person like this could not become a powerhouse, then there would simply be no justice in the world.

And so,

half a year later, when Li Chang'an came to report that he had reached rank twenty soul power and applied to go hunt for a soul ring, the Three Education Commissioners were shocked, but also felt that it was only natural. It was reasonable and expected. After all, everyone had seen his almost madman-like hard work in ordinary times.

Moreover, soul power was relatively easy to improve in the early stages. It only became harder and harder the further one went.

Although only a little over half a year had passed since his Martial Soul awakening, Li Chang'an had already cultivated to rank twenty soul power, directly breaking the Heaven Dou Empire's previous record of the youngest Soul Grandmaster at "eight years old."

He had become an unprecedented six-year-old Soul Grandmaster!

But when they thought of how hard he worked on ordinary days, the Three Education Commissioners, while shocked, also felt that it was only natural. Although his growth speed was slightly exaggerated, when they thought about it, all of this was still so reasonable. After all, other children would not work as hard as he did.

Moreover, perhaps this child truly possessed aptitude far beyond other holders of Innate Full Soul Power.

This made the Three Education Commissioners view his future even more favorably. In fact, to prevent anything unexpected from happening to this precious treasure of the empire, Meng Shenji, as the chief commissioner, decided to personally take him to hunt for a soul ring this time.

A dignified Soul Douluo leading a six-year-old child to obtain his Second Soul Ring—there was simply no possibility of an accident occurring. Because the place they were going to was not a wild Soul Beast Forest, but an artificially created Soul Hunting Forest. The soul beasts inside would not exceed fifty thousand years at most.

With the strength of a Soul Douluo, there was no danger.
