Seeing the look of realization in Jiang He's eyes, Dugu Bo knew that he understood what he meant. He said, "All right, I'll take you to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. From now on, you'll attend school with Yan Yan."

"Okay, Teacher."

After answering, Jiang He followed Dugu Bo to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Given Dugu Bo's status as a Title Douluo, the moment they entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy, someone from the academy led them to meet Meng Shenji, the head of the Education Committee.

At that moment, besides Meng Shenji, several others were present in the Education Committee's reception hall.

One of them was a man in his early twenties, with a straight nose, square mouth, and short golden hair that gave him a fresh, neat appearance.

Beside him stood a refined, easygoing middle-aged man with a face as fair as jade.

The middle-aged man wore a long robe without a speck of dust on it. No matter how one looked at him, he did not seem like an ordinary person.

Behind the middle-aged man stood an elderly man with a cold expression.

The old man's beard and hair were both white, his features ancient and stern. When his gaze swept across Jiang He, Jiang He's heart tightened.

"Your Excellency Dugu, it has been a long time."

Meng Shenji gave Dugu Bo a slight bow.

Although he was the head of the Education Committee at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo. Whether in strength or status, Dugu Bo surpassed him, so the proper respect still had to be shown.

"Committee Member Meng."

Dugu Bo slightly raised his chin in greeting, then looked at the people beside him and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Sect Master Ning, Old Sword."

Hearing their exchange, Jiang He subconsciously turned his gaze and examined them.

So it was these people.

Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi nodded at the same time in response to Dugu Bo.

"Qinghe greets Your Excellency."

"Senior Dugu, it has been a long time."

The two addressed him differently.

Although Xue Qinghe was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo. On the continent, Title Douluos shared the honorific "Your Excellency" with the rulers of the two great empires, so he used a title reflecting status.

Although Ning Fengzhi was not a Title Douluo, he was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects. His status was not inferior to Dugu Bo's in the slightest.

Especially since Chen Xin, also a Title Douluo, stood behind him. Thus, he merely presented himself as a junior. Even so, this gave Dugu Bo plenty of face.

As for Chen Xin... he merely glanced at Dugu Bo and gave a grunt.

There were differences even among Title Douluos. Dugu Bo was mockingly called the weakest Title Douluo, so naturally, others of the same rank looked down on him.

Not to mention Chen Xin, the Title Douluo known as the Strongest Offensive Power.

Dugu Bo did not care about Chen Xin's attitude. It was not as though this was the first day it had happened.

They all lived near Heaven Dou City and ran into one another from time to time. He had long since grown accustomed to everyone's attitudes.

He looked at Meng Shenji and said, "Committee Member Meng, I have a favor to ask of you this time."

"Please speak, Your Excellency."

Dugu Bo pointed at Jiang He and said, "This is my disciple. From now on, he will study at your academy alongside Yan Yan. I'll have to trouble Committee Member Meng to make the arrangements."

At those words, everyone present turned to look at Jiang He beside him, their eyes carrying faint surprise.

After all, Dugu Bo had always been a loner over the years. Apart from his granddaughter, he barely cared about anything else.

Now that he had suddenly accepted a disciple, how could they not be curious?

"This is a small matter. Of course, it can be done."

Meng Shenji agreed with a smile.

Accepting a Title Douluo's disciple as a student would only benefit the academy. How could he possibly refuse?

He then asked Dugu Bo, "May I ask how old your beloved disciple is, what his Martial Soul is, and how much Innate Soul Power he has? I can arrange for someone to register him and assign his classes."

"There's no need for all that trouble. Just let him attend class with Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and spoke casually.

In his view, although Jiang He differed somewhat from ordinary soul masters, he was still only a Soul Grandmaster. Attending class with Dugu Yan and following her curriculum should be about right.

However, the moment he finished speaking, Dugu Bo noticed Chen Xin's indifferent expression from the side.

Although Chen Xin always wore that expression, for no apparent reason, Dugu Bo suddenly felt a little irritated!

This old fellow had always believed his talent stood above the masses. With that Seven Kill Sword of his, he was arrogant to the extreme. Today, Dugu Bo had to broaden his horizons!

Thinking this, Dugu Bo deliberately sighed and said, "Sigh... my disciple's talent is ordinary..."

Jiang He:?

Mine is only ordinary?

No!

His brows furrowed slightly, and his expression turned strange.

For Teacher to say something like that at a time like this...

Jiang He swept his gaze over the room, and when it finally landed on Chen Xin's face, he instantly understood.

Then he heard Dugu Bo say, "He only turned six a few days ago and awakened his Martial Soul. His Martial Soul is merely an ordinary Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. As for his Innate Soul Power, it's only a little better than mine was back then—just level twenty!"

Everyone present:?

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, everyone froze.

Then they all stared at Jiang He in shock.

Xue Qinghe in particular could not conceal the astonishment in her eyes.

Innate Soul Power at level twenty!

No one understood better than her what that Soul Power Level meant!

A god-level Martial Soul!

But soon, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Of course she knew what a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was.

Although this Martial Soul was extremely powerful and among the strongest beast Martial Souls, with no record on Douluo Continent of anyone ever awakening it...

Calling it a god-level Martial Soul still seemed rather exaggerated, didn't it?

While she was confused, Ning Fengzhi was the first to speak. He asked Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, are you saying that his Innate Soul Power is level twenty?!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the corners of Dugu Bo's mouth rose uncontrollably. He nodded and said, "That's right, Innate Soul Power at level twenty! He awakened directly as a Soul Grandmaster!"

After Dugu Bo confirmed it, the shock in Ning Fengzhi and the others' eyes deepened.

Just as he was about to ask something else, Dugu Bo said, "Jiang He, show Sect Master Ning your Martial Soul."

"Okay, Teacher."

Jiang He answered, a smile curling onto his lips as he stepped forward.

Revealing oneself as a saint before others—who did not know how to do that!

With one step forward, Jiang He's body suddenly grew taller.

Dark golden fur emerged across the surface of his body, and his massive physique occupied no small portion of the hall.

That Berserk aura struck everyone's eyes.

Envy appeared in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

If only such a Martial Soul belonged to someone from their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

However, the moment that sigh arose in his heart, his pupils constricted.

Because two pitch-black soul rings slowly rose beneath Jiang He's feet.

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

And there were two of them!

The appearance of two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings made the air throughout the hall seem to solidify.

Even Chen Xin's pupils constricted several times.

He considered himself well-traveled and believed he had seen everything.

But this... he truly had never seen before!

And Xue Qinghe before him had an utterly blank mind.

At that moment, there was only one thought in her head.

How was this possible?!
