Dream Enters Divine Mechanism

Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi stood at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"May I ask, what brings you two to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" the guard at the gate asked politely.

People of all sorts came and went from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so the guards naturally dared not offend anyone lightly.

Su Yun Tao wore a Blue Gold Mask, and his five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—lit up.

Seeing that this young man, who appeared to be at most twenty years old, possessed the cultivation of a Soul King, the guards were dumbfounded.

"Please trouble yourself to report our arrival; I have come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to see a student named Dugu Yan."

"Dugu Yan?" The guard's expression turned solemn. Having guarded the gates of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for many years, he naturally knew of Dugu Yan and her formidable background.

"Please wait a moment, sir. We shall report this to the academy immediately."

Given that someone of such a young age could reach the level of a Soul King, the guards dared not be negligent.

Yang Wudi sighed. Although he held himself in high regard, he was deeply shocked by Su Yun Tao's heaven-defying nature. While Su Yun Tao appeared slender on the surface, once he removed his mask to reveal his true face, he looked no older than fifteen or sixteen.

The most terrifying part was that Yang Wudi knew Su Yun Tao's actual age was only fourteen! When he had checked Su Yun Tao's bone age, a sense of powerlessness had welled up in his heart!

In truth, Su Yun Tao's mental age was already twenty-six. He had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent at twelve, and ten years of tempering had finally allowed him to truly grow in this world. At twenty-two, he had consumed a celestial herb, which altered his constitution and caused him to revert—no, to rejuvenate—his physical age dropping to ten. After four years of life-and-death battles in the Star Dou Great Forest, he was now fourteen.

Soon, three elderly men in ornate robes received the message and arrived at the gate.

The three elders were dressed in black robes embroidered with strange patterns in golden thread. These robes were not exclusive to them; they were custom-made formal wear that only soul masters above level 80, holding the title of Soul Douluo, could receive from Martial Soul Hall to signify their status.

Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi exchanged a glance and nodded slightly; it was clear that the three elders had mastered the art of etiquette to the extreme.

The three elders looked at the masked Su Yun Tao and the Yang Wudi standing beside him, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Chief of the Education Committee, Meng Shenji, level 85 Soul Douluo, martial soul: Black Demon."

"Second seat of the Education Committee, Bai Baoshan, level 85 Soul Douluo, martial soul: Heaven Star Furnace."

"Third seat of the Education Committee, Zhi Lin, level 82 Soul Douluo, martial soul: Azure Heaven Vine."

Faced with the three committee members who had voluntarily declared their names, martial souls, and even their soul power, Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi naturally returned the courtesy.

"Su Yun Tao, level 51 Soul King, martial soul: Gale Two-Headed Wolf."

"Yang Wudi, level 81 Soul Douluo, martial soul: Soul Breaking Spear."

"Hahaha!" Meng Shenji, who had not chosen to write books in this version of the Douluo Continent, laughed heartily. "So it is young friend Su Yun Tao and Clan Head Yang Wudi who have come! Your presence truly brings great honor to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Su Yun Tao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Chief Meng is too kind. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is no humble dwelling, so how could we bring it honor?"

Bai Baoshan, the first bandit of another timeline, laughed, "Young friend Su is truly extraordinary. Not only do you possess the cultivation of a Soul King at such a young age, but your temperament is also so remarkable. You are truly a young talent of the Douluo Continent!"

On the other side, Zhi Lin, the Azure Heaven Vine Soul Douluo who had defied the heavens, also spoke up, "Clan Head Yang, I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, you are indeed imposing and extraordinary. Your strength, Clan Head Yang, truly makes this Zhi feel ashamed."

Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi exchanged a look; they realized that these three old foxes were incredibly formidable.

Although Yang Wudi had roamed the soul master world for many years, his personality was clearly unsuited for social niceties, and he was not skilled in flattery. Su Yun Tao, however, influenced by his experiences in another timeline, was naturally unfazed by such behavior.

"What are the three committee members saying? Although I have not had much interaction with you, I have long heard of your illustrious reputations."

"Chief Meng, codenamed Meng Ru Shenji, your dream-control technique is nothing short of divine. It is truly said that the heavens tremble and the earth resonates at your command."

"I have heard that the previous Star Luo Emperor died of exhaustion precisely because of your existence, Chief Meng, as he dared not fall asleep while his armies were at war!"

"Even the Martial Soul Hall elder, Chrysanthemum Douluo, was shocked by your strength. He once lamented that despite his status as a Titled Douluo, he could not overcome a mere Soul Douluo, and felt utterly ashamed. Although you have not reached the Titled level, Chief Meng, you possess the strength to slay one. For years you have kept a low profile and hidden your power, but even the most careful plan has its flaws!"

Meng Shenji was shocked; he was so strong, yet he hadn't even known it himself?

"Second Seat Bai, you have roamed the continent for decades, and your Heaven Star defensive technique has reached the pinnacle. I heard that a Titled Douluo once overestimated himself, but once you activated your Heaven Star Furnace martial soul, you stood still and let that Titled Douluo attack you for three days and three nights. In the end, that Titled Douluo vomited blood and died of exhaustion!"

"It is just that you have always been low-key, Second Seat Bai. To have such a record and remain silent—this level of magnanimity truly makes me feel ashamed."

Bai Baoshan gasped, feeling as if an electric current were coursing through his body, making him feel strangely comfortable from head to toe.

"Soul Douluo Zhi Lin, you have defied the heavens! Originally, your talent was mediocre, but after decades of overcoming dangers, you used sheer perseverance to cultivate your way to the level of a Soul Douluo! Even your martial soul evolved from a common ivy to an Azure Heaven Vine. You are truly the number one person in the Douluo Continent."

Although the three committee members knew that Su Yun Tao was talking nonsense, for some reason, they felt exceptionally comfortable.

Suddenly, the three committee members felt that something was wrong. They were supposed to be the ones flattering Su Yun Tao to figure out his background and recruit him into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Why were they the ones following Su Yun Tao's rhythm now?

The three committee members exchanged glances, then their faces filled with smiles.

"Su—"

"The strength of you three committee members is unparalleled throughout history and dominates the universe. No one came before you, and no one will come after you."

"Heaven Dou shines because of you three, the Douluo Continent is glorious because of you three, everything in the world of soul masters will be created by you three, the monuments of history will be inscribed by you three! The future of the world will be held in your hands..."

A long time later, the three committee members finally succumbed to the comfort of the flattery.

The three of them naturally realized that Su Yun Tao had seen through their intentions. Although they felt a sense of regret that Su Yun Tao had no intention of joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they dared not be negligent toward this young powerhouse and the Soul Douluo, Yang Wudi, who stood beside him.

Under the guidance of the three committee members, Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi toured the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and waited quietly in a grand reception hall for the return of the Imperial Fighting Team.
