The next morning, in preparation for their official enrollment, all the girls changed into the uniforms of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The boys' uniforms were simple: white shirts paired with slim-fitting trousers, giving them a clean and neat appearance; while the girls had two options: one was the same trousers, and the other was a white short-sleeved shirt paired with a dark blue pleated skirt.
Gu Tian looked at the girls changing clothes in front of the dressing mirror. He had noticed yesterday that most of the female students in the academy had chosen short skirts, paired with stockings of various thicknesses, which made them look youthful and energetic. With a wicked smile, he waved his hand and made Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Na'er, Gu Yue, and Meng Yiran all change into short skirts as well.
When the women stepped out of the room again, Gu Tian felt a wave of dizziness. Their long legs were tightly encased in stockings of various colors, and their short skirts swayed gently as they walked. In particular, Zhu Zhuqing's hot figure paired with this uniform created a visually striking effect.
"Tsk tsk, this isn't going to class, it's practically a girl group debut," Gu Tian muttered to himself.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy has prepared a special Soul Fighting Arena for the Emperor Class. It can be reached in about ten minutes by going down the purple bamboo forest behind the mountain. The environment here is extremely luxurious. At this moment, seven boys and girls are already sitting in the classroom, each of them exuding an aura of arrogance that keeps strangers at bay.
Qin Ming stood on the podium and clapped his hands at the original seven members. "Everyone, quiet down. I mentioned yesterday that new students would be joining us today. Although they are younger than you, their talent... will absolutely amaze you. One child, at the age of seven, has already reached the level of Soul Grandmaster."
The seven people below had expressions of suspicion on their faces.
" Teacher Qin, please stop teasing us." Osler leaned back in his chair, fiddling with his short, sultry blond hair, and said lazily, "A seven-year-old Soul Grandmaster? That kind of thing only happens in myths."
"That's right, that's right," Yufeng chimed in from the side.
Yu Tianheng, standing to the side, hesitated. A seven-year-old Soul Grandmaster... where had he heard of him before? Right, not long ago, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's martial arts tournament for marriage, wasn't Ning Rongrong's fiancé that genius? Could it be that he's come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?
Qin Ming didn't speak, but turned to the side to gesture for Gu Tian and the others to come in.
The moment Gu Tian led the group of girl group members into the classroom, the seven who had been nonchalant froze in unison.
Qin Ming began by introducing the members of the Imperial Fighting Team in turn. "Captain, Yu Tianheng, Level 27 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul."
"Vice Captain, Dugu Yan, Level 27 Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."
"The core of the defense system consists of the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers, both possessing the level 24 Black Tortoise Turtle Martial Soul."
"Agile attacker, Osler, level 24 Ghost Leopard Martial Soul."
"Air support, Yufeng, Level 24 Wind Chime Bird Martial Soul."
"Logistics Core, Ye Lingling, Level 25 Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
Gu Tian smiled and nodded to everyone. Although these people were already top-notch among their peers, in his eyes, they were indeed still lacking something.
"Now that you're in the same class, you're classmates." Qin Ming's sharp eyes swept across the room. "Although Gu Tian and the others are young, good flowers don't grow in greenhouses. I hope you can work together quickly. Perfect timing, I haven't seen the new classmates' Soul Skill yet, so let's go to the Soul Fighting Arena and have a match today."
Qin Ming's gaze fell on Yu Tianheng: " Tian Heng, you're the captain, and your Martial Soul is the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Gu Tian's Martial Soul is the Chaos Dragon God, and its level has reached level 30. It's perfect for you to test the difference between you and him..."
"Teacher, I refuse."
To everyone's surprise, Yu Tianheng actually raised his hand, his expression even somewhat unnatural.
"Oh? Tian Heng, what's this...?" Qin Ming was taken aback.
Yu Tianheng gave a wry smile, glanced at Gu Tian, and explained to Qin Ming, "Teacher, you went to hunt for Soul Ring some time ago and missed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School's martial arts tournament for marriage. Not long ago, my brother Yu Tianxin fought against Brother Gu Tian in the tournament... My brother's Martial Soul and Soul Power Level are exactly the same as mine, but he was completely defeated by Gu Tian. I don't think I'd gain anything by fighting him one-on-one."
The entire audience erupted in uproar! The Shi Mo brothers and others, who had previously looked down on Gu Tian Gu Tian, now regarded him as if he were a monster.
Qin Ming pondered for a moment. He had indeed not heard of this matter. If Yu Tianxin had lost, then the one-on-one duel would indeed be meaningless.
"Since that's the case..." Qin Ming's lips curled into a smile, his gaze sweeping over Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, "Aren't you two a young couple? Your chemistry should be the best."
Osler couldn't help but let out a mischievous laugh from behind, Dugu Yan blushed with embarrassment.
"Then the two of you team up. One with the strongest attack, the other with the strongest control. Two against one, let's have a go at Gu Tian. Remember, stop when you've made your point." Qin Ming waved his hand, "Let's go, to the academy 'Soul Fighting Arena!"
Yu Tianheng felt embarrassed to refuse. Although he lacked confidence in a one-on-one fight, losing again in a two-on-one situation would completely ruin the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Brother Gu Tian, please enlighten me!"
Yu Tianheng stood up, a fighting spirit igniting in his eyes. The crowd then led him toward the academy's magnificent Soul Fighting Arena.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Soul Fighting Arena.
The interior of this enormous circular building was paved with solid steel, capable of withstanding the fierce impacts of those below the Soul King level. At this moment, besides the members of the Emperor Class, even some passing teachers stopped to watch from the stands. After all, a two-on-one situation against a seven-year-old child was simply too bizarre.
Qin Ming stood at the edge of the ring, his face serious as he waved his hand to signal the two sides to keep their distance.
"The main purpose is friendly sparring, and we'll stop when we've reached a point. Both sides can concede at any time, but it's strictly forbidden to use lethal force. Do you understand?"
"Clear!"
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing a determination to succeed.
"Start!"
With Qin Ming's command, the Soul Power fluctuations in the air instantly became violent.
Yu Tianheng took the initiative, stepping forward and slamming his right hand into the ground. In an instant, arcs of blue-purple electricity leaped from between his fingers, emitting a series of ear-piercing thunderous sounds. As his right hand slowly rose, a majestic and domineering phantom of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon coiled behind him.
" Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, possess me!"
Two yellow, Hundred-Year Soul Ring pulsed rhythmically, and Yu Tianheng's right arm was instantly covered with thick dragon scales, Bind with lightning, exuding an astonishing aura.
On the other side, Dugu Yan also moved. Her right hand pointed diagonally downwards, and a strange, viscous, emerald-green ball of light condensed in her palm. The hem of her dark school uniform skirt danced without wind, stirred by her Soul Power.
" Jade Phosphorous Serpent, appear!"
With a chilling hiss, a long, emerald-green snake, as thick as a thigh, emerged from the shadows behind her. The snake moved swiftly, snapping its jaws open and swallowing the green orb of light, then coiling itself tightly Bind Dugu Yan's delicate body like a tattoo. Two identical Yellow Soul Ring rose, making her already alluring face appear even more sinister.
"Brother Gu Tian, be careful!" Yu Tianheng shouted in a low voice.
Gu Tian remained calm. This time, he did not unleash the Dragon God's bloodline pressure, which was enough to make low-level Martial Soul kneel down. Instead, he made a slight thought.
Buzz--!
A phantom of Chaos Dragon God, radiating Nine-Colored Divine Light, slowly rose behind him. The Dragon God's eyes were like stars, and its lazy demeanor exuded a supreme sense of disdain for all living beings. Immediately afterward, two deep, noble, and strangely shimmering purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring rhythmically moved around him.
"Two... both are purple?!"
Osler, standing in the stands, was so shocked that he jumped up from his seat, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets. As a genius of the agility-based attack type, he knew better than anyone what the age of Soul Ring represented.
Qin Ming's breath hitched. Although he had read the files, witnessing this illogical Soul Ring Configuration firsthand still made his scalp tingle.
" Yanzi, do it!"
