For instance, his Death God Dragon Spirit—a top-tier dragon-type spirit like that represented potential.

Then there was his talent in forging and Soul Tools, thanks to his metal-element power.

All of these gave him a chance of enrolling in Sun Moon Royal Academy.

After looking into it, Chen An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was more or less as he had expected.

Sun Moon Royal Academy had a special admissions channel that gave those who did not meet the application requirements but possessed exceptional qualities a chance to enroll.

This meant that he had an opportunity to apply. His trip to Mingdu had not been in vain.

"Sun Moon Royal Academy has really gone to great lengths to recruit talent," Chen An thought as he saw quite a few advertisements offering generous benefits to geniuses.

Those with top-tier spirits not only had their tuition waived upon enrollment, but also received a million in scholarships along with various other benefits.

Those with exceptional talent in Soul Tools, mechas, battle armor, forging, and other fields would also receive preferential treatment.

He carefully examined those benefits. They could be summed up in two words: incredibly generous.

Sun Moon Royal Academy's annual scholarship investment in these geniuses was probably no less than a hundred million.

That was not even counting investments in other areas, such as providing soul spirits free of charge.

That was what truly cost money.

In the era of Soul Land III, money had become indispensable to soul masters.

You could disregard money, but you could not be without it.

In this era, it was no longer possible to hunt soul beasts in the wild to obtain Soul Rings.

One could only spend money at the Spirit Pagoda to purchase soul spirits. A hundred-year soul spirit alone was worth a million.

Thousand-year soul spirits were even more expensive. Some high-quality ones cost tens of millions of Federal Currency.

As for ten-thousand-year soul spirits, their value exceeded a hundred million. Ordinary people simply could not afford such a price.

When cultivation required money to continue, money naturally became especially important.

At such times, the promise of providing geniuses with the soul spirits they needed free of charge became extremely appealing.

After all, even the most talented person might worry about being unable to afford a soul spirit.

For many young soul masters without much of a background, joining Sun Moon Royal Academy was definitely a good choice.

It might even be better than joining Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek would not provide soul spirits for free.

Shrek Academy's teaching might be better, but Sun Moon Royal Academy could resolve their worries.

It allowed them to continue cultivating smoothly without having to fret over cultivation resources.

After returning to the hotel, Chen An went to find Gu Yue Na and told her about applying the next day.

Gu Yue Na said there was no problem. She was not worried about enrolling at all.

If she could not even get into an academy, how could she talk about taking revenge on humanity?

As long as those people could recognize what a genius was, there was no way she would be rejected.

The next day, Chen An got up early. After breakfast with Gu Yue Na, they headed out to apply.

Early in the morning, the entrance to Sun Moon Royal Academy was already packed with people, and there were many applicants.

There were boys and girls of the right age, as well as parents who had brought them.

There were so many people that the whole area seemed extremely crowded, with many people even standing on the road.

Fortunately, Sun Moon Royal Academy had contacted the traffic department in advance and imposed traffic control over the area.

Otherwise, there might have been quite a few traffic accidents.

Chen An had come here yesterday to scout things out, so he knew exactly where to apply.

He brought Gu Yue Na to the registration point with the fewest people.

Long lines had formed at all the surrounding registration points, but there was hardly anyone here, making it seem rather deserted.

There was a reason for that—it was a special registration point.

It had been set up for those who did not meet the application requirements but possessed special talents.

There were relatively few people in that situation, so naturally not many came here to apply.

Beside this registration point stood a large sign that read: Deliberate Disruption Will Result in a Fine of Ten Million.

Those with genuine special talents could apply here.

But if someone had nothing special about them and still came here to apply, they would be fined.

This avoided a great deal of trouble and kept people from casually coming here to apply.

"We're here to apply." Chen An brought Gu Yue Na over and stated their purpose directly.

Two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, were in charge of registration. Both had imposing auras.

Chen An could tell that they were both soul masters, and not weak ones.

The two of them glanced at Chen An and Gu Yue Na, both frowning slightly.

They could not sense their exact strength?

The two exchanged a look and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They were both Soul Douluo. Logically, they should not have been unable to see through two little children.

"This is a special registration point. If you do not have any special talent, there will be a fine."

The middle-aged woman pointed at the large sign beside her as a reminder.

"Both of our martial souls are True Dragons. That should count as a fairly special talent, right?"

Chen An said. If he wanted to draw their attention, he needed to make an issue of their martial souls.

On Douluo Continent, martial souls were the best representation of talent.

Having a top-tier martial soul did not necessarily make one a top-tier genius, but a top-tier genius absolutely had to possess a top-tier martial soul.

If one's martial soul was weak, no amount of effort would help. Their upper limit had already been set in stone.

The key reason Huo Yuhao had eventually cultivated into a god ten thousand years ago lay in the transformation of his martial soul.

His original martial soul had not been powerful. Later, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm enabled his martial soul to undergo a leap in evolution.

Had his martial soul remained as it originally was, he would have had absolutely no chance of becoming a god.

This showed just how important a top-tier martial soul was—it represented talent.

"True Dragons?" The two middle-aged people abruptly rose to their feet, shocked and excited.

True Dragon Spirit martial souls were exceedingly rare, and exceptionally powerful as well.

Throughout the long history of Douluo Continent, not a single possessor of a True Dragon Spirit martial soul had been weak.

"That naturally counts as a special talent. Come with me." The middle-aged man suppressed his excitement as he spoke.

He did not immediately believe Chen An's words, but neither did he doubt them.

Whether it was true still needed to be verified, and this was clearly not a suitable place for verification.

Chen An nodded, exchanged a glance with Gu Yue Na, and followed the middle-aged man into Sun Moon Royal Academy.

They drew quite a bit of attention from the children and parents who had come to register.

No one had ever registered at the special registration point before. Now that two people had gone there, it naturally made everyone curious.

Some people even began discussing them, wondering exactly what made them so special.

The campus of Sun Moon Royal Academy consisted of those few large buildings.

Yet those buildings were worlds unto themselves, containing every facility one could need.

The moment Chen An entered the building, he felt as though he had stepped into a city within a building.

The interior was not cramped at all, but rather quite spacious.

The first-floor lobby alone was as large as a football field, so open that it felt unreal.

There were quite a few testing stations in the lobby, with many people undergoing assessments.

Some had already passed the tests and been admitted, cheering with joy.

Others wept loudly after being eliminated. A hundred people had a hundred different faces; each had their own sorrows and joys.

"Come with me to the third floor." The middle-aged man led Chen An and Gu Yue Na toward the elevator.

He headed for the faculty-only elevator. Few people used it, so there was no need to wait.

The three entered the elevator. The middle-aged man swiped his card and pressed the button for the third floor. The elevator started and soon arrived there.

Today's second chapter. Please vote with monthly passes, bookmark, and recommend.

For every day that monthly passes exceed ten—not counting the six monthly passes automatically given by the update system—there will be an extra chapter. More than fifty recommendation votes will also earn an extra chapter, and more than two hundred bookmarks will as well. I mean what I say, and I hope everyone will support me. Let us encourage each other.

Yesterday, there were no monthly passes, a little over twenty recommendation votes, and a little over one hundred thirty bookmarks, so there will be no extra chapter today.

I hope everyone with votes can cast them. The recommendation-vote requirement for an extra chapter is still easy to meet, so please vote more.
