Heaven Dou's First Champion

As the two chatted, a teacher entered the classroom and began teaching the students inside.

This lesson mainly covered how to distinguish the age of Soul Beasts and how to choose Soul Beast Soul Rings suited to oneself.

About fifteen minutes into the lesson, a figure suddenly passed by the classroom window.

The figure seemed to casually glance inside as he passed, then paused for a moment.

Finally, he directly pushed open the classroom's back door and entered.

Everyone in the classroom instinctively turned to look at the newcomer.

The man smiled faintly at the teacher on the podium and said, "It's fine. I was just passing by, so I thought I'd take a look and experience the academy's teaching atmosphere. Don't mind me."

After saying that, his gaze swept across the classroom before finally settling on Jiang He in the corner of the last row.

Xue Qinghe walked straight over to Jiang He, grabbed a stool, and sat beside him. Then he looked toward the podium, as though he had truly only come to sit in on a lesson.

Although some students in the classroom did not recognize the Crown Prince, seeing his demeanor, they could make some guesses about his identity.

As for the teacher on the podium, Qin Ming had already spoken to him beforehand, so he was naturally unsurprised.

He smiled at Xue Qinghe, then continued the lesson without mentioning Xue Qinghe's identity at all.

Many students subconsciously assumed that he was merely some noble who happened to be passing by and had come to experience the academy's teaching atmosphere.

Such things did not happen often, but they occasionally did, so there was nothing particularly strange about it.

However, Jiang He was not among them.

He glanced at Xue Qinghe beside him.

Xue Qinghe sat upright, watching the teacher on the podium as though he had really come for class.

But Jiang He knew perfectly well that he had come for him!

He was not actually a six-year-old child. How could he not understand how shocking his talent was to Qian Renxue and the others?

In the memories of his previous life, Qian Renxue had been a woman who greatly admired strength.

In order to recruit Tang San, she had once proposed handing a Title Douluo over to him to deal with as he wished.

Moreover, the two had not interacted very frequently, and they had even been enemies most of the time.

Even so, Qian Renxue had fallen for Tang San because he had revealed his weakness during the divine trials.

How could someone with that kind of personality possibly miss the chance to recruit him?

However, Jiang He only glanced at Qian Renxue before no longer paying much attention to her.

He did not particularly want to provoke her.

After all, both she and her mother were lunatics.

One was insanely obsessed with strength, while the other was simply insane.

And both of them were hopeless romantics. It was absurd—clearly a hereditary trait.

More importantly, Jiang He had now found backers. He was no longer alone, and he lacked nothing in terms of cultivation resources. There was no need for him to get involved with Qian Renxue or Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, in the face of Qian Renxue's recruitment, he would only say, "Rich lady, I'm hungry. Feed me."

The morning passed quickly.

Throughout the entire lesson, Xue Qinghe did not take the initiative to speak with Jiang He. He simply sat quietly beside him and listened.

Near the end of class, he turned to glance at Jiang He, smiled, and nodded in greeting before leaving.

After he left, Yu Tianheng asked, "Why would the Crown Prince come here to listen to a lesson?"

"Because he has nothing better to do."

Dugu Yan's voice rang out. She then walked over to Jiang He and Yu Tianheng, looked at Jiang He, and said, "That guy is probably trying to recruit you. Be careful from now on, and stay away from him."

Jiang He looked at Dugu Yan in surprise and asked, "Sister Yan Yan, why do you say that?"

Dugu Yan curled her lips and said, "I've experienced everything you're going through. Do you really think the Heaven Dou Imperial Family wouldn't want my grandfather, a Title Douluo?"

Jiang He understood.

That was true.

Even the weakest Title Douluo was still a Title Douluo.

Furthermore, Dugu Bo only had Dugu Yan as a granddaughter. It was only natural for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to try to use her to bring Dugu Bo into their fold.

"Let's go eat. I heard the cafeteria added a few more dishes today."

With that, Dugu Yan led the silent Ye Lingling toward the cafeteria.

Just like last time, Ye Lingling still did not like talking much.

Jiang He was even curious how she had become friends with Dugu Yan under those circumstances...

"Come on, let's go eat too."

Yu Tianheng called to Jiang He, then got up and headed to the cafeteria with him.

After lunch, they rested for a while at noon before continuing with practical combat class in the afternoon.

Xue Qinghe did not appear again this time.

And Jiang He's practical combat opponent had become Qin Ming.

Neither of them released their Martial Souls. They fought purely with their physical abilities.

Unlike last time, when Jiang He had needed to release his Martial Soul to suppress Qin Ming for a short time,

this time, with neither of them using their Martial Souls, Jiang He had suppressed Qin Ming from the very beginning.

Although Qin Ming relied on his extensive combat experience to contend with Jiang He,

every few minutes, Jiang He's reaction speed and fighting techniques changed somewhat.

By the end, Jiang He had nearly suppressed Qin Ming throughout the entire match.

He perfectly dodged and defended against every one of Qin Ming's attacks, while his own relentless offensive rhythm left Qin Ming looking somewhat disheveled several times.

Fortunately, Qin Ming's strength was there, so he would not be directly defeated by Jiang He.

Even so, the surrounding students were left dumbfounded.

However, with their previous experience, they were not completely unable to accept it.

It was not the first time... They were starting to get used to it.

After class, Qin Ming said with a sigh, "It seems the Gravity Training Room has truly helped you a great deal. Your control over your body has improved tremendously. You couldn't bring out such powerful strength before."

Hearing this, Jiang He smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Teacher Qin's instruction. So, are we going to the Gravity Training Room again tomorrow?"

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded and said, "We are. And the academy has granted you permission. As long as you make sure not to injure yourself, you can use the Gravity Training Room for three hours a day."

"Really?!"

Jiang He's eyes lit up.

Three hours of Gravity Training per day—this was treatment that even Yu Tianheng, a core member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, did not receive!

"I told you that the academy would spare no effort in nurturing you. You need not worry about cultivation resources. We are only concerned about one thing: whether your body can endure it."

Jiang He understood. They wanted to create opportunities for him to meet Xue Qinghe, yet they did not want to waste his talent, so they had relaxed the time limit.

"Don't worry, Teacher Qin. I won't let the academy down!"

Qin Ming nodded at Jiang He and said, "Work hard. Strive to shine brilliantly at the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!"

At this moment, Qin Ming had already abandoned his original plans.

What next tournament to temper his mentality, what tournament after that to win the championship—he wanted Jiang He to win the next tournament outright!

Jiang He was only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster now, yet he could already fight a Soul King. Four years later, Jiang He would absolutely crush all the other competitors!

Heaven Dou Empire's first champion would surely emerge under his guidance!
