Enrolling Under Hidden Identities

After traveling for most of the day,

Tang Xuan and the others finally arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy in silence.

As the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe naturally went unchallenged.

He merely displayed a token and passed through without obstruction.

"Xuan Bro, Rong Rong, when we meet the Three Great Education Committees later, don't reveal your identities yet," Xue Qinghe suddenly said.

"Hm? Why? I'm easy enough, but Rong Rong's martial soul can't exactly be hidden." Tang Xuan was dumbfounded.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a method for concealing martial souls,

one that only released Spirit Rings,

one of his tasks was to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect famous at Imperial Dou Academy.

If they hid their identities, what name was there left to make?

Xue Qinghe shook his head. "I'm not asking you to hide forever. I just want you to play weak and catch someone off guard for now."

"Heaven Dou Academy is currently under Prince Xue Xing's control, and he has never gotten along with me."

"You and Rong Rong have never left the sect, so few people know who you are."

"If the two of you pose as commoner Spirit Masters and are recommended by me, my Imperial Uncle will certainly try to ruin the relationship between us."

"Then, once you reveal your identities, I'll have something on him and can impeach him before Father Emperor."

Tang Xuan cursed inwardly.

So he was using him as bait to hook Xue Xing, this big fish?

Setting aside how troublesome it would be to get dragged into a political whirlpool,

simply helping Xue Qinghe clear out his rivals was already against Tang Xuan's interests.

"Brother Xue, I..." Tang Xuan had only gotten halfway through his refusal.

Xue Qinghe interrupted with a sigh. "If it's difficult, then forget it. Sigh, I thought Xuan Bro considered me one of his own, but who would have thought..."

Who said Little Angel didn't hold grudges? She held them far too well.

How did it feel to have his own trick used against him?

"Fine, fine, fine, I agree. Isn't that enough?" Tang Xuan gave a bitter smile.

He had truly lifted a stone only to smash his own foot.

Right now, he only wanted to travel back half a day

and clamp his own mouth shut.

Hearing Tang Xuan agree,

Xue Qinghe revealed a satisfied smile. "Don't worry. At most, my Imperial Uncle will send my useless younger brother and a bunch of rabble from the academy to cause you trouble."

"With your strength and Rong Rong's support, no one will be your match."

"And I'll keep watch over Xue Xing's movements at all times. There won't be any danger."

"Then I really must thank you, Brother Xue." Tang Xuan forced the words out through clenched teeth.

Yet a plan arose in his heart.

Xue Qinghe's useless younger brother was naturally Xue Beng.

As a transmigrator familiar with the plot,

Tang Xuan knew all too well that Xue Beng was anything but simple.

This guy had keenly noticed something unusual about Xue Qinghe at the age of seven.

Even after neglecting cultivation, he could still reach Level 40 by the age of thirty.

His talent might not have been top-tier,

but it was at least on Zhu Zhuqing's level.

More importantly, the enemy of his enemy was his friend.

Whoever made Xue Qinghe unhappy made Tang Xuan happy.

Xue Beng and Tang Xuan's current interests were completely aligned.

If he could get in touch with him, perhaps he might gain something unexpected...

While Tang Xuan was pondering,

the group had already arrived at the administrative office.

The doors had just been pushed open

when three elderly men of distinctly different appearances hurried over.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what brings you here?" Black Demon Meng Shenji asked respectfully.

"Education Committee Meng, no need for formalities. I've come to bring you two students." Xue Qinghe smiled as he pushed Tang Xuan and Ning Rongrong forward.

"Oh?" Meng Shenji was somewhat surprised. "These two children have actually caught Your Highness's eye? Their talents must surely be outstanding."

As an Education Committee Member, he naturally would not be foolish enough to judge people by their appearance.

Who was he, and what status did Xue Qinghe hold?

Who had the time to come all the way to the academy just to amuse him?

Xue Qinghe looked proud. "Of course. Xuan Bro, Rong Rong, show the Education Committees."

Tang Xuan stepped forward and openly displayed his martial soul.

Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, only released her Spirit Ring.

"Tang Xuan, seven years old, martial soul: Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword, Level 18, one-ring Battle Soul Master."

"Ning Rongrong, seven years old, Level 14, one-ring Battle Soul Master."

"Th-this..." Meng Shenji was so shocked that he could barely speak.

Reaching Level 14 at seven years old

meant gaining at least three levels in a year.

What kind of talent was that?

And then there was that freak at Level 18 at seven years old.

Seven levels in one year?

Was he even human?

Even cultivating from inside his mother's womb wouldn't amount to this much.

"Education Committee Meng, do their talents meet the standard?" Xue Qinghe's eyes were full of amusement.

He loved seeing others look surprised.

Still, even he had not expected Tang Xuan's level to be so high.

Such cultivation speed was no slower than his own.

"They qualify, more than qualify. Tang Xuan, Rong Rong, Heaven Dou Royal Academy welcomes you." Meng Shenji grinned from ear to ear.

Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy required noble status for admission,

what noble status could compare to a personal recommendation from the Crown Prince?

Not to mention that these two were such monsters.

He would have to be stupid to turn them away.

"Then I'll leave these two younger siblings of mine in your care. I still have official duties, so I won't stay any longer." Xue Qinghe smiled as he bid farewell.

Before leaving, he also reminded Tang Xuan not to forget what he had promised.

"Farewell, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The Three Great Education Committees bowed as they saw him off.

They appeared to hold Xue Qinghe in particularly high regard.

That was not good news for Tang Xuan.

His plan to cause trouble for Xue Qinghe could not be delayed.

"Education Committee Meng, may I ask which class Rong Rong and I will be joining?" Tang Xuan asked.

Meng Shenji smiled kindly. "Ordinarily, with your one-ring strength, you should be placed in the Heavenly Emblem Class. But considering your exceptional talents, I've decided to place you in Heavenly Class One."

"This class has the greatest number of geniuses in Imperial Dou Academy. I believe you young geniuses will have more in common."

As he spoke,

Meng Shenji sent someone to summon Heavenly Class One's instructor.

Tang Xuan had no objections to this arrangement.

To him, the class itself did not matter.

Only Dugu Yan truly mattered.

Not long afterward,

a young man who looked to be in his twenties entered. He was plainly dressed and wore black-rimmed glasses. "Three Education Committee Members, what did you need me for?"

"Hahaha, Qin Ming, good news, excellent news. Two genius students enrolled today, and I plan to place them in your class," Meng Shenji said with a laugh.

Qin Ming?

A Shrek graduate?

Tang Xuan quietly sized Qin Ming up.

He had to admit, the man was somewhat handsome.

The aura around him also gave people an especially comfortable feeling.

Now that he had become a Heavenly Supreme Rank instructor,

he must have already broken through to Soul King.

He had obtained that thousand-year fifth Spirit Ring that had lowered his talent.

It could only be said that it was a pity...

"My class? Education Committee Member, you don't mean these two little children, do you? They've broken through Level 20 at such a young age?" Qin Ming's face was full of disbelief.

Even his voice involuntarily rose several pitches.

Seeing Qin Ming's enormous reaction,

the Three Great Education Committees burst into thunderous laughter.

"Hahaha, Qin Ming, don't underestimate them. They are both seven years old. The girl, Ning Rongrong, is a support-type Spirit Master at Level 14, while the boy, Tang Xuan, is even more remarkable. He is already a Level 18 Spirit Master," said Meng Shenji.

As he spoke, Meng Shenji warmly patted Qin Ming's shoulder.

"You are the academy's youngest Heavenly Supreme Rank teacher, and your teaching ability is also the best. I can rest easy leaving them to you."

Having swallowed Meng Shenji's empty praise,

Qin Ming looked deeply moved. "Please rest assured, Education Committee Member. Qin Ming will not disappoint you!"

Both children possessed the potential to become titled Douluo.

For an instructor, nothing was more fulfilling than teaching geniuses.
