First Arrival in Heaven Dou City

After the Cutting Wind Wheels passed through them, the three Wolf Bandits felt their field of vision continuously sinking. Confused, they tried to turn their heads, only to find that they could not move no matter what they did.

"Thud~" "Thud~" "Thud~"

Three objects hit the ground. Only then did the Wolf Bandits realize what had happened, their faces filled with terror.

They... had actually seen their own bodies.

"Huff, huff~"

On the other side, Mo Hui dispersed the Cutting Wind Wheels and panted heavily. Even Pidgey was utterly exhausted. It descended from the sky and landed on Mo Hui's shoulder.

Although the Cutting Wind Wheel was immensely powerful, it consumed an absurd amount of Soul Power and mental strength.

Even though Mo Hui's mental strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, he still felt deeply exhausted after using the Cutting Wind Wheel.

At present, Mo Hui could be said to be at his weakest since becoming a Soul Grandmaster. Not only was he mentally exhausted, but he had less than a third of his Soul Power left. His combat strength had dropped by more than half compared to his peak condition.

Fortunately, the results were equally gratifying. He had killed three Wolf Bandits in one stroke, and with the two he had killed earlier, only seven Wolf Bandits remained—the same number as the Soul Masters protecting the merchant caravan.

Soon, with Mo Hui assisting from the side, the remaining seven Wolf Bandits were also slaughtered by the caravan guards.

"I am Ning Yuan. My martial soul is the Flame Lion, and I am a level thirty-seven assault-type Battle Soul Elder. May I ask what this little brother is called?"

After the Wolf Bandit crisis had been resolved, the leading Soul Elder of the caravan approached Mo Hui, cupped his hands, and asked.

"My name is Mo Hui, a level twenty-two Battle Soul Grandmaster. This is my martial soul, Pidgey!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Pidgey on his shoulder with his right hand.

"Pidgey~"

Seeing this, Pidgey raised one wing and greeted Ning Yuan.

Then, as though he had suddenly realized something, Mo Hui asked, "Uncle Ning, your surname is Ning. Could it be...?"

Hearing this, Ning Yuan immediately nodded. "That's right. I am an outer disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, I did not inherit my father's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Instead, I inherited my mother's Flame Lion martial soul."

As he spoke, Ning Yuan felt somewhat regretful. The Flame Lion was a fine martial soul, but compared to the number one support-type martial soul in the world, it still fell far short.

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's level seventy-nine limit? More than ninety-nine percent of Soul Masters in this world could never break through to become Soul Douluo anyway.

"So it really is the renowned Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Mo Hui was somewhat surprised. He had not expected to encounter a Soul Master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect so soon after leaving home.

But on second thought, it made sense. This merchant caravan claimed to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing it, so it was only natural for Soul Masters from the sect to be stationed here.

"Hahaha, you're not bad yourself, little brother. You're already a Soul Grandmaster at such a young age. Your future is boundless."

Seeing Mo Hui's slightly astonished expression, Ning Yuan felt quite pleased. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects. With the Sword and Bone Douluo within its ranks, there were only a handful of forces on the entire Douluo Continent that could rival it.

Ning Yuan continued, "Where are you from, little brother, and where are you headed now?"

"I come from Nuoding City in Fasinuo Province. I'm heading to Heaven Dou City to study," Mo Hui replied.

Nuoding City?

Upon hearing that Mo Hui came from there, Ning Yuan's thoughts stirred. Nuoding City was merely a remote border town in Fasinuo Province. As far as he knew, there were no notable forces there.

Perhaps I can recruit him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Yuan thought to himself.

Unlike the other two of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a reputation in the Soul Master world as angel investors. They were far more welcoming of outside talents than the other two sects. As a result, they currently had the greatest number of Soul Masters among the Upper Three Sects, second only to the Clear Sky Sect at its peak.

"So little brother Mo Hui is going to Heaven Dou City to study? I know the place well. Once we reach Heaven Dou City, I'll take you to enroll at one of the Advanced Soul Master Academies there."

Ning Yuan patted his chest as he spoke.

Mo Hui's eyes lit up. "Then I'll have to thank you, Uncle Ning."

Having someone familiar with the place guide him would certainly be better than wandering around alone, and it would save him a great deal of time.

"Ah, no need to be so polite. If it weren't for you this time, things might have ended badly for us. It's just showing you the way—a small matter." Ning Yuan waved his hand.

Although Ning Yuan had already begun considering recruiting Mo Hui, the journey ahead was still long, so he was in no hurry.

After all, they had just gone through a fierce battle, and everyone was exhausted.

"Boss, are you all right?"

After returning to the carriage, Mo Hui looked at the caravan owner, who was staring at him in shock, and asked softly.

"Ah, I'm fine. I truly didn't expect you to be a Soul Grandmaster at such a young age, little brother."

Only after hearing Mo Hui's words did the caravan owner come back to his senses, speaking with a sigh.

No wonder he had said earlier that the bird was not for sale. It was actually his martial soul! Still, it was the first time he had ever seen such a martial soul.

Mo Hui merely smiled and said nothing. He then sat cross-legged and began meditating to recover his Soul Power. For a time, no one spoke.

After a brief rest and reorganization, the merchant caravan continued on its way to Heaven Dou City.

One week later, Mo Hui and the others finally arrived at the Heaven Dou City they had been eagerly anticipating.

"Haha, we're finally here. Mo Hui, didn't you want to take a look at Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Let's go."

After escorting the merchant caravan to its destination, Ning Yuan let out a sigh of relief. He then pulled Mo Hui toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Before long, Ning Yuan brought Mo Hui to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Is all of this Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

The moment he entered the grounds of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Mo Hui was stunned. The so-called Heaven Dou Royal Academy was actually a mountain over a thousand meters tall. Although Mo Hui had attended university before transmigrating in his previous life, the sheer size of Heaven Dou Royal Academy still far exceeded his imagination.

Seeing Mo Hui's stunned expression, Ning Yuan smiled faintly and introduced the place to him. "That's right. This entire mountain is part of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Not only that, the forest behind the mountain and the lake at the foot of the mountain to the left are also part of it. That is precisely why Heaven Dou Royal Academy has been able to establish the largest and most comprehensive Mimicry Cultivation Ground of any academy."

"As expected of an academy founded by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. They really have money to burn."

Hearing this, Mo Hui could not help but marvel inwardly.

According to the information he had previously gathered, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had only a little over five hundred students. Even including the teachers, there could not be more than around six hundred people.

Such a vast place for only six hundred people—it was hard to imagine just how many resources the students could make use of.

For some of the less popular Mimicry Cultivation Grounds, one person could probably have the entire place to themselves.
