Heaven Dou Royal Academy [Seeking Recommendation Tickets~]

When Fang Xuan had first arrived on the Douluo Continent, he had considered where to go in the future.

1. Spirit Hall.

2. Shrek Academy.

3. Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The waters of Spirit Hall ran too deep, and going there now would undoubtedly be walking into a trap!

As for Shrek Academy, he truly had no desire to follow Tang San around everywhere. He had no interest in sucking up to Tang San or being sucked up to by him; he was more interested in giving him a slash.

I wonder if killing the protagonist will earn me some mysterious gift pack.

Fang Xuan thought this.

That left only one choice—Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

This aristocratic Soul Master Academy, founded single-handedly by the Royal Family, was hailed as the number one academy of the Heaven Dou Empire. It had complete facilities, a formidable teaching staff, countless experts, and three Soul Douluo above level eighty, including Meng Shenji, stationed there!

This might be a good choice.

After giving it serious thought, Fang Xuan decided to apply to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Though the academy was not necessarily absolutely safe, it was still far better than living outside alone.

Safety came first!

This was the supreme rule Fang Xuan followed as he traveled the Douluo Continent!

However, due to its Royal Family background, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first requirement for admission was that students had to possess noble titles. Ordinary commoners could not join.

Fang Xuan had always thought this was some idiotic system created by some dumbass. It severely limited Heaven Dou Royal Academy's development; no wonder the Heaven Dou Academy team had been beaten so badly in the later Soul Master Competition.

Didn't they know that outstanding talents had always emerged from among commoners?!

It was understandable to admit only gifted geniuses, but admitting only nobles? Fang Xuan did not know whether the Royal Family was stupid or simply too obsessed with class distinctions!

This noble title was quite a troublesome matter. Although he was Xue Ye's biological son, he was still an illegitimate son and had no right to bear the title of Prince. At present, he was merely a commoner.

It would be difficult for a commoner to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Forget it. I'll try my luck tomorrow."

Fang Xuan nodded, no longer dwelling on it, and prepared to apply to Heaven Dou Academy the next day.

Early morning.

The rising sun climbed into the sky!

After a night of treatment and rest, Fang Xuan's injuries had improved greatly and would not affect his fighting. Soul Masters possessed physiques stronger than ordinary people's; he estimated that he would fully recover in another two or three days.

He washed his face, changed into a fitted black outfit, then walked to the full-length mirror. He smoothed his somewhat flowing black hair and examined his current appearance.

Eyes like black gemstones, handsome features, and a sharply defined face.

To be honest, this useless Prince's only advantage was that he was rather handsome.

Far more handsome than Blue-Haired Tang San!

He could be considered a rare beauty among men, likely due to inheriting Fang Qingxue's powerful genes.

After all, Fang Qingxue had once been the most talented woman among the courtesans, with beauty capable of toppling cities and kingdoms. Otherwise, she would not have captivated Xue Ye.

At around eight in the morning, Fang Xuan left his home.

During the day, Heaven Dou City brimmed with life. Pedestrians packed the streets shoulder to shoulder, carriages and horses flowed endlessly through the roads, and the city was exceptionally lively. This was the prosperous imperial capital everyone longed for.

"Meat buns! Hot, steaming meat buns!"

"Freshly made soy milk, fragrant and sweet!"

"Steamed buns for sale! Freshly steamed white buns!"

"Come on, come on, have a bowl of tofu pudding~"

Along both sides of the street, many breakfast vendors shouted their wares, drawing in passing pedestrians.

Fang Xuan walked down the street with light steps, calmly surveying the snack stalls around him. With his hands clasped behind his head, he looked thoroughly relaxed, not at all like someone who had just survived an assassination attempt last night.

"Boss, two baskets of buns!"

He entered a bun shop and sat at a table farther inside. After last night's battle, he had expended quite a bit of stamina. This morning, the moment he smelled the food around him, his stomach began growling with hunger.

Two baskets of steaming meat buns, a small plate of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of free plain boiled water.

Fang Xuan began eating with relish.

After quietly enjoying his breakfast, he left ten copper Soul Coins on the table and headed swiftly out of the city.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

This top advanced Soul Master Academy in the empire was located twenty kilometers outside the city, amid a beautiful mountain range. It covered an enormous area, as large as a small city, and was equipped with all kinds of specialized facilities for cultivation.

Among them, the most famous and coveted was—the simulated cultivation environment!

A simulated cultivation environment meant choosing different cultivation locations based on a Soul Master's Martial Soul. Those with rabbit Martial Souls cultivated in bushes; those with fire-attribute Martial Souls cultivated at volcano craters; those with ice-attribute Martial Souls cultivated atop icy mountains.

By selecting a cultivation environment suited to the characteristics of a Soul Master's Martial Soul, one could greatly increase their cultivation speed. That was the principle and benefit of the simulated cultivation environment.

"I wonder whether this simulated cultivation environment will be useful to me..."

Fang Xuan felt somewhat expectant. He channeled Soul Power into his feet and sped toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

About twenty minutes later, a majestic and luxurious academy gradually came into view. A golden plaque hung high above its gates, bearing several bold, sweeping characters: Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

"I'm finally here."

Fang Xuan was delighted and quickly headed into the academy.

However, the moment he stepped through the gates, two guards standing watch at the entrance stopped him.

The two guards were powerfully built, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted. The guard on the left had a few freckles on his face, while the guard on the right had a faint scar across his cheek. A fierce aura radiated from both of them, and they appeared quite strong.

Two Soul Grand Masters!

Fang Xuan's gaze sharpened. He could sense that their Soul Power was far stronger than his own. They were actually two Soul Grand Masters above level twenty!

"Excuse me, you do not appear to be a student of our academy. May I ask what business brings you here?!"

Rather than acting arrogant because he was a Soul Grandmaster, the scar-faced guard gave Fang Xuan an exceptionally humble smile and asked respectfully.

"I'm here to enroll at Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Fang Xuan said.

"Oh, I see."

Hearing this, the scar-faced guard became even more deferential. "Excuse me, may I ask which noble family you belong to, young master?!"

Generally speaking, students applying to Heaven Dou Academy were either rich or noble, with powerful family backgrounds. A mere guard like him could not afford to offend them, so he remained extremely humble, afraid of provoking these young noblemen.

Fang Xuan paused, then said calmly, "I'm not a noble."

"What?! You're not a noble!"

The scar-faced guard's expression immediately darkened. He said coldly, "Not a noble? Then you're a commoner. Get lost, get lost! Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not a place for a poor wretch like you. Leave at once, or don't blame me for getting rough."

Fang Xuan immediately frowned. Were all noble academies this corrupt?
