Heaven Dou Royal Academy Full Score Essay

Topic: My Crown Prince Brother

Author: Xue Ke

Class: Intermediate Class One

My brother is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. For the glory of the Heaven Dou Empire, he works tirelessly and never complains of fatigue. I know that what weighs on my brother's heart is all the people of the Heaven Dou Empire. So everyone can live peaceful lives, my brother is busy every day, handling countless memorials until late at night. But no matter how busy he is, my brother never forgets the family he loves most. No matter how busy he is, he always listens carefully to what I have to say, and he listens to the wishes in my heart. He says he will love me, spoil me, and protect me for the rest of his life. This is the kind of brother I like best.

My brother loves me, and I will always love my brother too!

The area around the bulletin board was packed with people, and everyone was talking at once.

"Xue Ke? That name sounds familiar!"

"Idiot, you don't even know the famous Princess Xue Ke? You're completely ignorant!"

"Xue Ke? Is she that genius princess who awakened the Jade Swan Martial Soul and possesses Innate Full Soul Power?"

"Wow—Princess Xue Ke and His Highness the Crown Prince seem to have a really good relationship!"

"I heard Princess Xue Ke only enrolled half a month ago. Because of her outstanding talent, she received the recognition of the Three Education Committee Members and was directly assigned to Intermediate Class One."

"Rumor has it that not only is Princess Xue Ke exceptionally talented, she's also devastatingly beautiful. Young noblemen from many kingdoms came to Heaven Dou City to propose marriage to Your Majesty, but His Highness the Crown Prince stopped them all on the grounds that Princess Xue Ke was still too young."

"I hereby declare that from today onward, Princess Xue Ke is my pursuit target! None of you are allowed to compete with me!"

"With your pathetic appearance? Get past His Highness the Crown Prince first before you start talking."

Heaven Dou City, Prince's Mansion.

Holding the essay Xue Ke had written upon enrolling, My Crown Prince Brother, which his subordinate had presented to him, Xue Qinghe did not know whether to laugh or cry, yet his heart also felt faintly warm.

"I hope Xue Ke studies properly at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and stops causing trouble."

Xue Qinghe was utterly helpless when it came to Xue Ke's terrifying "destructive power."

Over the past six years, Xue Ke had caused some kind of incident at every palace banquet.

The greatest trouble had been at that particular palace banquet, when Xue Ke had actually snuck into the Royal Treasury and nearly stolen the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Had the guards not discovered her in time, that mischievous little girl would have nearly succeeded.

When Emperor Xue Ye learned of the matter, he was so furious that his beard twisted crooked. Although he viciously declared that Xue Ke would be severely punished, he could not bear to do so in the end. With Xue Qinghe pleading on her behalf as well, Xue Ke was ultimately only given the light punishment of a month of house arrest to reflect on her mistakes.

Everyone naturally assumed it had merely been one of Xue Ke's pranks and did not take it too seriously. Only Xue Ke herself knew why she had done it.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the key item that allowed Tang San to successfully inherit the Sea God Divine Position. Only by hiding the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could she prevent Tang San from inheriting the divine position.

What Xue Ke did not know, however, was that Tang San would not ultimately possess only the Sea God Divine Position. He would also inherit the Asura Divine Position, becoming a terrifying existence with two gods in one body. Naturally, Xue Ke did not know this, since the anime had not reached that point yet.

Xue Ke believed that as long as she prevented Tang San from obtaining the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San, without a divine position in the future, would definitely be no match for Angel God Qian Renxue. Every problem would then be easily resolved.

Although this "secret operation" had failed, Xue Ke was not discouraged. There was plenty of time, and she would have plenty of opportunities in the future.

After six years of "hard work," Xue Ke's internal cultivation of the Sunflower Scripture had successfully broken through to the second realm, unlocking a new "move": Strength Amplification.

Cultivating the internal art to the second realm could greatly enhance one's physical strength. By Xue Ke's rough estimate, her single-handed strength had now reached thirty thousand jin.

According to the internal cultivation manual, Strength Amplification would become increasingly terrifying as Soul Power increased. If Xue Ke could break through to become a Limit Douluo in the future, her single-handed strength would reach a terrifying three hundred thousand jin.

When Xue Ke was ten, she suddenly wanted to test her own strength. During a palace banquet, she sneaked into the Imperial Garden and successfully uprooted an ancient tree that had stood for who knew how many thousands of years. The incident caused a tremendous sensation throughout the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and the legend of Princess Xue Ke's "innate divine strength" spread through the streets overnight.

After Xue Ke's internal cultivation broke through to the second realm, she successfully unlocked three basic external techniques that had long been hidden within the Sunflower Scripture: Golden Bell Shield, Bone-Breaking Hand, and Floating Willow Movement Technique.

The Golden Bell Shield could form a great golden bell of energy around the user, blocking physical damage from opponents no more than ten levels above them.

Unlike the Bone-Breaking Hand from martial arts novels in her previous life, its effect was to greatly harden both palms, while also possessing the function of the Iron Sand Palm from her previous life. Anyone struck by the Bone-Breaking Hand would gradually suffer pulverizing fractures from the inside out, yet not show the slightest injury on the surface.

The Floating Willow Movement Technique could greatly increase her movement speed and produce up to five afterimages to confuse opponents.

Xue Ke had cultivated these three external techniques for only three years, yet she had already achieved minor success. She believed that her Bone-Breaking Hand and Floating Willow Movement Technique were in no way inferior to Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. The only flaw was that Xue Ke did not possess an eye technique like the Purple Demon Eye. This was also Xue Ke's only weakness so far.

With the support of the Sunflower Scripture, Xue Ke had reached a terrifying Rank 34 as a Spirit Master at the tender age of twelve. This caused an enormous sensation throughout the Heaven Dou imperial capital, and Emperor Xue Ye even openly praised Xue Ke as the greatest genius the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family had produced since its founding.

Xue Ke did not take the praise from the outside world too seriously. After all, Qian Renxue, with her innate Rank 20 Soul Power, came before her, while Tang San, the "cheat king," was a threat behind her. Her little bit of talent was nothing by comparison.

According to the plans she had made over the years, Xue Ke's first step after enrolling at Heaven Dou Royal Academy was to join the Imperial Fighting Team led by Yu Tianheng in the original work.

The second step was to help Dugu Yan solve the problem with her family's Martial Soul.

The third step was to use Dugu Yan as a connection to successfully get close to Dugu Bo, enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Pot at his home, plunder the immortal herbs, and steal Tang San's important opportunity.

The fourth step was to follow the Imperial Fighting Team to the Great Soul Arena in Soto City and properly "get along" with the Shrek Seven Devils, dampening the spirit of Tang San, the "child of destiny."

After more than half a month at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xue Ke had gradually adapted to this campus life so different from her previous life. She had successfully made many new friends and gained numerous "simps."

On this day, Xue Ke came to the office of the Three Education Committee Members, intending to discuss joining the Imperial Fighting Team with them.

------Author's Note------

Tang San in Soul Land 3 also had single-handed strength of tens of thousands of jin at the age of twelve, so it wasn't excessive for Princess Xue Ke to have thirty thousand jin at twelve, right? Survival instinct at maximum.
