"Did... did I see that right?! That little girl's Soul Ring colors... How is that possible?!"

"A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring... Her third Soul Ring is already ten thousand years old! That's terrifying!"

"She's here to enroll in an advanced Soul Master Academy, right...? At her age, she's already a three-ring Soul Elder!"

"How did she do it?!"

The crowd erupted into discussion, filled with doubt and shock!

"Hmph! You trash, remember my name! I'm Xiao Wu, your Sister Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu was still as arrogant as ever.

As for the age of her Soul Rings?

That had been far too easy to solve.

Starry Sky had not even spent every day cultivating. Making them seriously train their bodies was simply impossible.

But Douluo Continent had a kind of heavenly treasure: Whale Rubber.

Xiao Wu received a huge boost after eating it!

She had even returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and had Da Ming and Er Ming go out to sea to hunt whale-type soul beasts for her.

After making her eat ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber until she nearly threw up, he gave her several Soul Bones as well. That was how she ended up with her current Soul Ring configuration.

Seeing Xiao Wu's imposing, domineering appearance, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students were no longer moved.

That was because the soul master Xiao Wu had kicked flying and brutally beaten earlier was the strongest among them.

"Y-you just wait! Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy... won't let you off!"

In the end, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students could only flee with their tails between their legs.

"Then bring more people next time! Otherwise, how will Sister Xiao Wu's reputation spread quickly?"

Xiao Wu had decided that from now on, she would make her name known throughout Heaven Dou City!

With Xiao Wu stepping in, Starry Sky did not need to go through so much trouble.

After the people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy left, the teachers of Blue Tyrant Academy ran over with tears in their eyes.

"Little girl, are you here to enroll?"

"Yes! Me, Little Kong, and Zhu Zhuqing! The three of us are enrolling."

"You're all together? Welcome... welcome!"

The three assessment teachers practically wanted to cry.

Xiao Wu was so strong; her companions were probably not far behind.

With students like these in the academy, they would have a chance to contend for the championship in the Soul Master Tournament a few years from now.

"Release your martial souls. As long as you meet the requirements, you can enter Blue Tyrant Academy."

The three teachers looked eagerly at Starry Sky and Zhu Zhuqing.

They wanted another surprise.

Sure enough, Zhu Zhuqing did not disappoint them either.

One yellow, one purple, one black.

It left everyone dumbfounded.

Zhu Zhuqing did not have a physique as powerful as Xiao Wu's, but she had Tang San's mother's Soul Bone.

After Tang Hao died, Starry Sky found Ah Yin's Soul Bone.

Starry Sky thought Ah Yin's Soul Bone was too weak, so he did not want it.

He gave it to Zhu Zhuqing.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing was hardworking and cultivated diligently.

After learning that lightning could temper the body, she had Starry Sky electrocute her every day.

Not only did this improve her physical strength, it also tempered her willpower.

When she absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, she no longer had to worry about the soul beast's soul backlash.

After that, everyone turned their expectant gazes toward Starry Sky.

Their eyes grew even more fervent.

They could tell that Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both deferred to Starry Sky.

That meant they regarded Starry Sky as their backbone.

His strength had to be even greater!

With the three of them staring at him so intensely, Starry Sky felt uneasy. What did they take me for?

After pausing for a moment, he still released his lightning.

Five Soul Rings revolved around him.

When the three saw them, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They completely lost their composure as teachers, slammed their hands on the table, and shot to their feet.

"A... a Soul King!"

"Five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings!"

"Holy shit!"

The three rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrong.

As for Starry Sky's cultivation over the past six years, it had been fairly normal. He slept at night when it was time to sleep.

Otherwise, if he had worked as hard as Huo Yuhao, he would probably have become a Soul Sage long ago.

It had to be said that on Douluo Continent, cultivating diligently really was not as useful as obtaining a few good Soul Bones and immortal herbs.

And Starry Sky's five black Soul Rings looked different from other people's.

Around the outer edge of each inky-black Soul Ring was a beautiful pale-purple band.

Starry Sky's Soul Rings had not been like this in the beginning. Now, he had added his lightning wives' power to the Soul Rings, using his own endurance to increase their cultivation.

"Welcome! Welcome! Blue Tyrant Academy needs talents like you so badly!"

Afraid that Starry Sky and the other two might run away, the three teachers hurriedly began processing their paperwork.

"Teacher, after I enter the academy, can my three older sisters stay here with me?"

Starry Sky did not rush to complete the paperwork and instead made a request.

"Your three older sisters... Are they soul masters? If their Soul Power exceeds four rings, they can come teach here."

This was an academy. Letting family members live here would affect the students' cultivation.

The academy certainly would not allow it.

"No." Starry Sky shook his head.

Raiden Shogun and the others really were not soul masters.

"This..." One teacher hesitated.

But another teacher immediately nodded.

"What's the big deal? There are plenty of ways for them to stay at the academy. Starry Sky, you're all so outstanding. I can just give them some academy positions and let them enter. Of course, if they don't want to work, that's fine too. They can just hold the titles."

Yin Shu, the leader among the three teachers, did not want to miss such excellent students.

He wanted to do Starry Sky a favor.

The other teacher thought the same. Then, pointing one finger at the sky as though he had come up with a brilliant idea, he said:

"Hey! How about making the three of them chefs?"

At those words, a trace of interest suddenly appeared in Raiden Ei's cold eyes as she looked at that teacher.

Meanwhile, terrified expressions immediately appeared on Starry Sky, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing's faces. They hurriedly shook their heads.

"No!! Don't!"

Raiden Mei would be fine.

But whether it was Raiden Shogun or Raiden Ei, they would definitely wreck the academy.

As for Underworld...

She would first have to be able to find the kitchen.

"Do you think being chefs would be too tiring for them? Don't worry, they would only hold the titles. They wouldn't need to go into the kitchen."

Yin Shu was puzzled. What was wrong with these three?

Then he felt a wave of regret. Starry Sky's three older sisters were clearly devastatingly beautiful and carried an invincible air about them, so how could they merely be ordinary people?

"Then it's settled. However, the other two don't need to enter the kitchen, but I'm a chef. I can go into the kitchen, right?"

Raiden Mei said with a gentle smile.

"If you want to help out in the kitchen, of course we have no problem with that."

Yin Shu nodded.

Starry Sky and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the teachers issued them student IDs.

Mei, Underworld, and the Shogun, meanwhile, received academy chef credentials.

With those chef credentials, they would be free to come and go throughout the academy in the future.

Still, whenever Starry Sky looked at the chef badge Raiden Shogun wore, he could not shake the feeling that something major would happen one day!

Hopefully, I'm just overthinking it.
