First Arrival at Heaven Dou Royal Academy

With steady steps and a posture as upright as a pine clinging to a cliff, Wang Tianyi walked along the main street of Heaven Dou City, feeling gazes from every direction. He responded with a modest smile, stealing the hearts of countless girls. Some wanted to approach and strike up a conversation, but after taking two steps, they were frightened back by the distant, indifferent aura surrounding him.

What a strange young man. Handsome and courteous, yet he gave off an arrogance that seemed to look down upon all living things. Though surrounded by people, they instinctively kept at least three meters away from him. On this noisy street of the mundane world, Wang Tianyi seemed to be the only one detached from it all.

"Heaven Dou City..."

Wang Tianyi had plans of his own. He was no longer the person he once was, yet he still needed to find an academy for further study. Having given up on Shrek Academy, there was likely only one academy in his mind that could accommodate his pride and offer greater support for his future path.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Wang Tianyi appeared alone before this imposing academy. Its magnificent gates displayed the academy's wealth to the fullest. As a high-level Soul Master Academy that prepared students for the royal court, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's strength was beyond question. However, one point often drew criticism: it only admitted students of noble birth. Over time, the academy might have many students with decent talent, but it would also miss out on many supreme prodigies.

"An academy that only accepts noble students..."

There were many benefits to joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With Wang Tianyi's current talent, he would receive extensive cultivation. The Imperial Fighting Team had clashed with Shrek Academy many times, but what truly interested Wang Tianyi was Dugu Yan of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Now that he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, how could he possibly miss the Ice-Fire Mandarin Duck Hotpot, the undisputed number one on the must-eat list? Only by building a good relationship with Dugu Yan could he naturally meet Dugu Bo in the future.

As for Heaven Dou Royal Academy's admission principles—Wang Tianyi did not believe those three education committee members would pass up a genius like him!

Wang Tianyi swaggered into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Perhaps because of his extraordinary bearing, the guards at the entrance did not step forward to stop him. He began wandering around the academy just like that. Heaven Dou Royal Academy covered an enormous area and had all sorts of mimic cultivation environments. There should be one suitable for him, and it ought to improve his cultivation speed somewhat.

"Hey, who are you? How come I've never seen you before?"

A somewhat arrogant male voice sounded behind Wang Tianyi. His brows furrowed instinctively as he turned around, only to see a foppish young man glaring at him with displeasure. The man had altered his school uniform into a complete mess, his face was pale, and he wore several flashy pieces of jewelry. Six or seven lackeys followed behind him, each with a badge on the chest of his clothes bearing the words "Heaven Micro."

The student ranks at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, from lowest to highest, were Heaven Micro Rank, Heaven Supreme Rank, and Heaven Dou Rank. This bunch before him consisted of Heaven Micro Rank students, and all of their Soul Power levels were below level twenty-five.

Xue Beng had never seen anyone more arrogant than himself.

This was his first time meeting Wang Tianyi, yet this brat carried himself as though he were nobler than Xue Beng, an imperial prince! Under normal circumstances, Xue Beng would not have acted like this. But today, unfortunately, a duke's daughter had rejected his pursuit, causing this prince to lose face. The resentment burning in his heart had nowhere to go, so he picked someone he disliked and took it out on him.

"Hmm, things will be much more convenient if someone leads the way!"

Wang Tianyi did not take Xue Beng and the others seriously at all. That arrogant attitude instantly snapped the string in Xue Beng's mind. Feeling that his dignity had been damaged, he ordered his lackeys to teach Wang Tianyi a lesson.

Two minutes later.

"Mom, where are you? Hurry over here! I'm going to die!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Big brother, calm down! I'll give you money! I have lots of money!"

Xue Beng's lackeys had rushed forward aggressively, but they flew away with even more momentum than they had arrived with. Ordinary Soul Masters were absolutely incapable of flying more than ten meters into the air, but Wang Tianyi helped them accomplish it, making them the center of everyone's attention.

"Y-you, do you know who I am? I'm warning you, don't come any closer!"

Looking at his wailing lackeys, Xue Beng swallowed hard. Everyone knew that he played the role of a wastrel prince, which resulted in his cultivation being extremely low—he had only barely broken through level twenty. As for whether he was merely pretending to be a wastrel or truly was one, nobody knew. Xue Beng seemed to enjoy this identity very much; at the very least, his performance had not aroused anyone else's suspicion.

Wang Tianyi brushed nonexistent dust from his sleeve and looked at Xue Beng, who had nearly wet himself from fright, with utter disdain. A fellow like this was not even worthy of making him act personally.

"Lead the way! I want to see the academy's three education committee members!"

"Y-yes, yes, yes! This way, sir!"

The moment he heard that he would not be beaten, Xue Beng instantly perked up. With a fawning smile, he led Wang Tianyi onward, completely disregarding the astonished looks cast his way by the students along the road. Compared to physical pain, face could be discarded.

But that did not mean Xue Beng would forget this matter. He merely made a note of Wang Tianyi in his heart and swore that he would reclaim his dignity someday.

Led by Xue Beng, the two still walked for a full ten minutes before reaching the office building of the three education committee members. The building was remarkably grand, predominantly gold and white. The flag of the Heaven Dou Empire stood atop it, and even the Soul Power in the air seemed much denser here than outside.

"Sir, this is the place! The three education committee members are on the top floor, um..."

Xue Beng rubbed his hands eagerly, but Wang Tianyi did not even spare him a glance and walked straight inside.

Once Wang Tianyi disappeared from view, the fawning expression on Xue Beng's face vanished, replaced by viciousness.

"This brat isn't that old, so his talent must be pretty good. Hmph, but so what? Out here, connections and backing are what matter. Just wait. Sooner or later, you'll suffer!"

A clown-like figure was not worth Wang Tianyi remembering. Before long, he reached the top floor. The humble personality of the Qi Tian Martial Soul compelled him to knock lightly twice. After hearing a response from inside, Wang Tianyi pushed open the door and entered.

The room was extremely spacious, with three magnificent desks arranged together. The instant Wang Tianyi entered, the three Soul Douluo-level education committee members behind the desks turned their eyes toward him.

"Child, who are you?"

Meng Shenji, the chief education committee member, raised a brow. He was certain that Wang Tianyi was not a student of their academy, and they had met all the prominent nobles within the empire. None of their families seemed to have a junior with such outstanding bearing.

"My name is Wang Tianyi. I am twelve years old, a level thirty-two assault-type Battle Soul Elder, born a commoner, and I hope to study here!"
