Challenge Nuoding Academy

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: I think Ye Mu will definitely face Tang San if he challenges the entire academy. If Tang San loses, maybe we'll get to see Yu Xiaogang make a fool of himself.]

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: Kill Yu Xiaogang!]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: I feel like you're copying me.]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: I think we can curse Yu Xiaogang and see how much temper he has.]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Makes sense. @Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: Big Sister won't get angry, right?]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: I won't.]

Ye Mu nodded. "Then let's curse Yu Xiaogang. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the task."

"After I've finished challenging Nuoding Academy, I'll tell you more about Tang San."

Ye Mu felt that he could talk about Tang San alone for a very long time.

Ye Mu soon arrived at the entrance to Nuoding Academy.

He was stopped by two guards.

"This is academy grounds. Unauthorized people are not permitted." One of the guards spoke.

Ye Mu stopped and looked at them both. He said clearly, "A Level 29 Soul Grandmaster, here to challenge Nuoding Academy."

The two guards were visibly stunned for a moment before their expressions swiftly turned respectful.

A Soul Grandmaster was already considered a powerhouse at this Junior Soul Master Academy.

"So it is Lord Soul Master." The guard who had spoken earlier bowed slightly. "The matter of challenging the academy isn't something we can decide. May I report this to the Dean?"

"You may." Ye Mu nodded.

The guard did not dare delay. He turned and hurried into the academy.

The other guard remained at the side, his attitude much more courteous.

Before long, an elderly man with graying hair walked over.

Several teachers accompanied him from behind.

When the old man saw Ye Mu, he was slightly startled. So young.

He seemed to be about as gifted as Tang San from their academy.

But Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Could he possess Innate Full Soul Power as well?

The Dean of Nuoding Academy did not slight him. "Child, I am the Dean of Nuoding Academy."

"Hello, Dean. My name is Ye Mu." Ye Mu nodded faintly.

The Dean smiled. "Child, which student of Nuoding Academy do you wish to challenge?"

"All of them!"

The Dean froze, and so did the teachers behind him.

"Child, our academy may not have many students, but we still have over a hundred. Some of them are Soul Grandmasters as well," the Dean reminded him.

"Then I'll challenge the Soul Grandmasters. Challenging the others would just be a waste of time."

"Very well." Seeing how serious Ye Mu was, the Dean agreed.

He also wanted to see just how strong this Level 29 child was.

As the Dean, he naturally possessed the strength of a Soul Elder and could tell Ye Mu's Soul Power level.

"Come, please enter."

The Dean invited Ye Mu into the academy.

He drew the attention of quite a few people.

Ye Mu looked over and spotted an ordinary-looking man.

Ye Mu could tell at a glance that he was Tang San.

Of course, it was not that Tang San was easy to recognize, but that Xiao Wu beside him was easy to recognize.

Ye Mu began speaking inwardly. "See that? Tang San is standing beside the girl in pink."

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: He's so ordinary. He's not even one-tenth as handsome as you, Ye Mu.]

Ye Mu smiled. "Thanks for the compliment. I think so too."

"The girl beside Tang San isn't simple either."

Upon hearing Ye Mu say this, Bibi Dong and the others all looked toward Xiao Wu.

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: There's nothing special about her, other than looking a little foolish.]

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: Blind!]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: You figured it out?]

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: None of your business.]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: You didn't figure it out, so what the hell are you talking about? Looking for a beating?]

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: Come at me if you've got the guts.]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: You two big shots are talking, so a little nobody like me doesn't even dare speak.]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: Same.]

After all, since she was not nearby, Bibi Dong naturally could not sense Xiao Wu's Soul Beast aura.

"Haha, you aren't here with me, after all. If you were, someone would definitely be able to tell."

"This rabbit is a transformed 100,000 Year Soft Bone Rabbit."

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: What!! A transformed 100,000 Year Soft Bone Rabbit!!!]

Inside Pope Palace, Bibi Dong abruptly rose to her feet.

She clenched her right fist. "If that's true, then she should be the one that escaped back then!"

"She really has nerve, transforming and coming to the human world."

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: You two big shots are talking, so a little nobody like me doesn't even dare speak.]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: Same.]

The Dean of Nuoding Academy swept his gaze over the students who had gathered at the sound, then clapped his hands. "Classmates, look over here."

He pointed at Ye Mu.

"This is a Soul Master from outside, a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster. He has come today to challenge every student of Nuoding Academy who has reached the Soul Grandmaster level."

The Dean's words echoed clearly across the square, stirring a low uproar.

Level 29?

To most students, who were still Soul Masters, this was practically a god.

Not to mention that Ye Mu looked so young.

He had the same Soul Power as Tang San, the number one genius of Nuoding Academy. So impressive!

"Now, any Classmates present who are already Soul Grandmasters, step forward and come stand beside me." The Dean swept his gaze over the crowd. "For those absent, inform them quickly through neighboring classes or dormitories."

After a brief silence, the crowd stirred faintly.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and another student came to stand beside the Dean.

"Tang San, his Soul Power is the same as yours, and he looks very young. Could he have Innate Full Soul Power too?" Xiao Wu asked quietly.

Tang San shook his head. "That should be impossible. Teacher said those with Innate Full Soul Power are very rare; you might not even see one in a hundred years. He should be older than me, he just looks young."

"Possible."

Soon, two more people arrived.

The Dean looked at Ye Mu and nodded slightly. "Child, these are all the Soul Grandmaster students currently enrolled at our academy.

Some have already left the academy, so there are only these five.

Your challenge may begin.

However, according to the customs of the Soul Master world and the academy's rules, challenges must stop short of causing serious injury. Do you agree?"

Ye Mu nodded. "No problem."

Ye Mu swept his gaze over them, finally settling on Tang San. "Which of you will go first?"

A burly man slowly stepped forward.

"I will."

In a dark corner of Nuoding Academy.

Tang Hao quietly watched what was happening in the square, somewhat surprised.

"This little fellow really is Level 29. Judging from his bone age, he's even a little younger than Tang San."

"A genius. Could he truly have Innate Full Soul Power?"
