Douluo Traversal: I Pulled Out a Dou Technique—Why Didn't You Explode?

Elite Seed Class.

"Big Sister Yan, did you hear? Our class is getting a new transfer student?"

Ye Lingling spoke softly to Dugu Yan beside her.

"A transfer student? Our Elite Class can even have transfer students?"

Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

Ye Lingling shook her head.

"I'm not sure either. It's just something I heard."

Dugu Yan nodded. A transfer student? Could it be the descendant of some noble or royal family?

Hmph. If some deadweight dared to come cause trouble in their Elite Class, he would soon learn what bullying meant!

That was simply Dugu Yan's personality. She had never thought much of spoiled rich brats like Xue Beng. If one of those second-generation young masters ended up in her class—

She would not be willing to put up with it.

Soon, class began.

The moment Qin Ming entered the classroom, the entire room immediately fell silent.

As the teacher of the Elite Class, Qin Ming remained imposing. It was not merely because of his knowledge, but even more because of his talent and strength.

Qin Ming had broken through to Soul Emperor in his early thirties and was known as the continent's second-youngest Soul Emperor.

Only someone with his level of talent could command such a group of geniuses.

"Everyone."

Qin Ming stood still, his voice clear and steady.

"Today, our Elite Class will welcome a new member."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students below exchanged looks.

Dugu Yan raised her brows slightly, while Ye Lingling quietly leaned closer and lowered her voice. "Looks like it was true. Someone really came..."

Qin Ming did not let their speculation continue for long. He turned toward the door and beckoned. "Liu Bai, come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a figure entered the classroom.

He was a young boy whose face still carried traces of childishness. He had not yet grown tall, but his steps were steady.

He stopped beside Qin Ming, calmly meeting the varied gazes of the entire class without avoiding them or deliberately showing off.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Liu Bai. Please take care of me from now on."

He spoke in a bright voice, his introduction exceptionally brief.

The classroom fell silent for a moment.

Surprise flashed through many eyes. This new student was far too young.

Everyone who could enter this class possessed both talent and background.

Yet the one before them clearly still looked like a child.

Dugu Yan stared at Liu Bai, and her emerald eyes brightened slightly.

What a cute little kid. He was only seven or eight, wasn't he? Could someone so young join Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

At Qin Ming's gesture, Liu Bai walked down to find a seat. Seeing this, Dugu Yan immediately waved at him.

"Come here, little brother. There's an empty seat beside me. Sit here."

Liu Bai did not hesitate in the slightest and walked over, sitting on her left, while Ye Lingling sat on her right.

He had originally been wondering how to get close to Dugu Yan. He had not expected her to take the initiative, so naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

The moment he sat down, Dugu Yan could not help striking up a conversation.

"Little brother, how old are you this year? How did you join Heaven Dou Royal Academy so early?"

"Hello, big sister. I'm seven this year. Maybe because my talent is good, I was assigned to this class."

"Seven?"

Two voices rang out at once. Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were somewhat shocked. He had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy at seven?

That was rare even in the academy's enrollment history.

He was far too young. By that count, it had only been a little over a year since he awakened his Martial Soul.

"Then what's your Soul Power Level?"

"Level sixteen."

So that was it. The two girls finally understood. He was a genius, so it made sense.

Level sixteen at seven years old!

Liu Bai's Strength!

They were only Soul Grandmasters in their twenties now, yet they were six or seven years older than Liu Bai.

Dugu Yan was level twenty-eight this year and would reach level thirty-nine in five years, gaining eleven levels in five years.

Ye Lingling was level twenty-six and would reach level thirty-six in five years.

Liu Bai was level sixteen at seven years old. His talent was even better than theirs, so it was not strange that he could enter the Elite Class directly.

Once Liu Bai had taken his seat, Qin Ming swept his gaze across the classroom, his voice drawing everyone's attention back.

"Alright, since everyone has met the new classmate, then..."

"Everyone, assemble outside."

He turned and walked out directly.

"Today, we'll be having a practical combat class."

His voice followed close behind.

The classroom instantly filled with low exhalations and the rustling of clothing, mixed with faint, excited discussion.

The Elite Class had a packed curriculum, and practical combat classes had always been both the most anticipated and the most nerve-racking part.

Everyone quickly stood and headed outside.

Dugu Yan patted Liu Bai on the shoulder and smiled. "Little Bai, keep up. Practical combat class is pretty fun."

Liu Bai nodded and rose as well, following them outside.

The group arrived at an open training area, with a smooth stone combat platform at its center.

The surroundings offered a broad view, with other academy buildings and rolling forests in the distance.

Nearly thirty students quickly lined up along one side of the field, while Qin Ming stood at the front of the formation.

"The usual rules: king-of-the-hill format. The first group draws lots. The winner remains on the stage, while the others challenge the stage for combat practice."

"Other than support-type Soul Masters, everyone will be randomly matched for battles."

He looked at Liu Bai.

"Liu Bai, you're new, so you can..."

Before he could finish, Liu Bai had already shaken his head.

"No need, Teacher Qin. I can take part in the practical combat too."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Was he serious?

They were, on average, six or seven years older than Liu Bai. If they fought him, even winning would not be glorious.

Seeing that Liu Bai showed no intention of backing down, Qin Ming nodded directly.

"Alright. Then you'll participate in this battle as well."

Qin Ming did not know Liu Bai's true strength either, so this was a good opportunity to see what his combat ability was like.

He did not expect Liu Bai to contend with people like Yu Tianheng. As long as he could exchange a few moves, that would be enough.

After all, the others had cultivated for much longer than him. Even if a seven-year-old child had begun cultivating from a young age, his combat experience could never compare to that of the original Elite Class members.

The others thought the same way. No one believed Liu Bai would put on a particularly dazzling performance, and no one truly took him seriously.

After all, his age was right there.

However, the result was rather dramatic.

Qin Ming placed slips bearing everyone's names into a paper box, then randomly selected one.

"First round: Liu Bai versus Du Yun."

Everyone froze, and even Qin Ming paused for a moment. He had not expected Liu Bai to be first.

It really was him.

The moment his name was called, Liu Bai leaped onto the platform and took his position.

His opponent, Du Yun, also stepped onto the stage. He was a boy who looked fifteen or sixteen, dressed in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniform and holding a folding fan, carrying himself like a refined young noble.

Liu Bai cupped his hands.

"Liu Bai. Martial Soul: Golden Flame. Level sixteen assault-type battle Soul Master. Please advise me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned his Martial Soul. Golden Flame appeared in his hand, and a bright yellow Soul Ring rose beneath him.

Level sixteen?

His Soul Power Level was not low.

Du Yun folded his fan and tapped it against his hand.

Two yellow Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

"Du Yun. Martial Soul: Azure Cloud Folding Fan. Level twenty-five agility attack-type weapon Soul Master. Please advise me."

As soon as he finished speaking, another azure folding fan appeared in his hand.

Qin Ming stepped onto the platform, standing between the two of them as he raised his hand.
