"Ye Qiu founded it? Four Soul Douluo-level powerhouses?!" Feng Xiaotian's eyes widened in utter amazement upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words.

Even Heaven Dou Royal Academy had merely three Soul Douluo education committee members, yet Soul Hall, founded by Ye Qiu, had four Soul Douluo. Such a force could indeed be said to rival any one of the Lower Four Sects.
The siblings Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu also stared at Ye Qiu in disbelief, while Shui Bing'er and the other girls had strange lights in their eyes.
"Ye Qiu, were you really born a commoner?" Xue Wu could not help asking.
"Of course. How could that be fake?" Ye Qiu shrugged and smiled. "No father, no mother. My grandfather raised me. I was as ordinary as could be."

"Come on. I'll show you around inside."
Ye Qiu smiled, unconcerned by such matters, and led everyone deeper into Soul Hall.

As the only academy among the Five Elements Academy to recruit commoner Spirit Masters, the girls of Skywater Academy understood better than anyone how difficult it was
