"Xiaofeng!"

At that moment, a startled cry rang out from within the academy.

Dugu Feng looked toward the voice and saw Dugu Yan running toward him joyfully, with a young girl beside her.

"Big Sis."

Dugu Yan immediately pulled Dugu Feng into her arms. The powerful pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

Dugu Feng struggled to push Dugu Yan away, then said,

"Big Sis, there's no need to be this excited. Watch your image a little."

Dugu Yan snorted upon hearing this, then said,

"You little brat, I waited for you for so long, and you only showed up now."

Ye Lingling, standing nearby, covered her mouth and laughed.

"You must be Xiaofeng. Your sister talks about you all the time. Over the past year or so, she came to the academy gates every day to check whether you had arrived."

"She was practically turning into a stone waiting for her little brother."

After hearing Ye Lingling's words, Dugu Yan's face flushed red.

But then she looked at Ye Lingling with a mischievous smile before introducing her to Dugu Feng.

"This is Ye Lingling, your sister's good friend. She is also one of the only two owners of the Nine-Hearted Begonia."

Dugu Feng looked at Ye Lingling and gave a slight nod.

Just as the siblings were about to enter the academy, an angry shout came from behind them. A nobleman clad in armor came riding over from afar on a white horse.

A Soul Master followed behind him—the same Soul Master who had previously accompanied that noble child.

"Was it you who killed a Soul Master of the Raine Family?"

Hearing the accusation, Dugu Feng immediately understood that this man was Count Ryan.

"He was nothing more than a dog spewing filth. I killed him, so what? Sparing your son's life was already merciful of me. If he had been an adult, he would already be dead."

"A child's faults are his father's fault. As his father, you failed to discipline him properly, yet you want to stand up for him? You should take a look at your own worth first."

"Arrogant! I, Raine, am an imperial count. If I don't teach you a lesson today, how will I maintain my standing in the empire?"

In Raine's eyes, losing a Soul Grandmaster was no great loss. The Raine Family had hundreds of Soul Grandmasters like him.

But if a Soul Master who had appeared out of nowhere killed one of his men and he failed to step forward, he would become the laughingstock of the entire noble circle.

So today, he had to recover his dignity.

"Then come at me. Let me see what an imperial count like you is capable of."

At that moment, the Heaven Dou Empire's royal armored guards stationed at the academy gates rushed over with their halberds raised.

"This is Heaven Dou Royal Academy. No one is permitted to cause trouble here."

"Count Ryan, you know the rules. Please do not make things difficult for me."

Looking at the armored guard captain, Count Ryan suddenly realized that this boy had come to the royal academy. He surely had some powerful backing.

And he had even dared to kill someone openly in Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Either he was a reckless fool, or his background was unimaginably powerful.

With that thought, Count Ryan immediately dismounted.

Then he asked cautiously,

"May I ask who you are, sir?"

By then, Dugu Yan had more or less understood the conflict between Dugu Feng and Count Ryan. She stepped forward and said,

"This is my younger brother, Dugu Feng. My grandfather is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

Upon hearing that, Count Ryan's legs nearly gave out beneath him.

The fact that Poison Douluo's granddaughter attended Heaven Dou Academy was common knowledge among the nobles.

Every noble strictly warned their descendants never to provoke Poison Douluo's granddaughter.

Even Xue Ye treated Dugu Bo with great courtesy and sought to recruit him, since the Heaven Dou Empire did not have a Titled Douluo overseeing it.

If Dugu Bo could join the Heaven Dou Empire, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

"So you are Poison Douluo's grandson. No wonder your poison techniques are so extraordinary. I was presumptuous earlier. This black card contains ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"I offer it as an apology on behalf of my ignorant son. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive my earlier barking."

Dugu Feng reached out and accepted the black card before saying,

"Discipline your child properly. He is still young and can be taught, but if you let him run wild, he will become a menace sooner or later and bring about his own death."

Raine hurriedly nodded at Dugu Feng's words.

"You are absolutely right, sir. Once I return, I will discipline him severely. Thank you for your magnanimity."

Dugu Feng ignored him and headed toward the royal academy with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

The Soul Master following Count Ryan said indignantly,

"Master, are we really just letting this go?"

Raine swung his hand and slapped him flying to the ground.

"Are you trying to get me killed? That was Poison Douluo's grandson—the grandson of a Titled Douluo! I am merely a Soul King. Even if I have some prestige in the army, it is nothing more than that."

"If His Majesty learns that I offended Poison Douluo, do you believe the Raine Family would vanish from Heaven Dou City without a trace?"

"And you two useless fools! You couldn't even keep the young master under control, and all you do is make me offend people we shouldn't offend. Next time, no matter who you encounter, find out their background first!"

"Luckily, I reacted quickly. Otherwise, if I had truly offended him, the Raine Family would have disappeared completely."

Raine was drenched in sweat. He knew he had embarrassed himself this time, but at least he had kept his life. Besides, the other party was a Titled Douluo's grandson, so it was not as though he had lost all face.

After all, who in the entire Heaven Dou Empire dared to offend a Titled Douluo?

Raine immediately rode home. When he saw his son still looking excitedly at him and asking whether he had taught Dugu Feng a lesson, Raine flew into a rage and summoned his martial soul, the Seven-Wolf Whip, then viciously whipped his son!

Within Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the three Education Committee members personally came out to welcome Dugu Feng.

The chief Education Committee member, Meng Shenji, possessed level 86 Soul Power and the Black Demon martial soul.

The second Education Committee member, Bai Baoshan, possessed the Heavenly Star Furnace martial soul and level 85 Soul Power.

There was also Zhilin, who possessed the Heavenly Azure Vine martial soul. He was a control-type Soul Douluo with level 83 Soul Power.

The three had long heard Dugu Bo speak of Dugu Feng's strength, but they had all harbored doubts.

Zhilin was the first to step forward and ask,

"Child, what is your current Soul Power level?"

Dugu Feng said nothing. He merely revealed his Soul Ring configuration: one yellow, two purple, and one black.

The moment this configuration appeared, the three Education Committee members and the surrounding teachers were instantly stunned.

Astonishment filled everyone's eyes. Even Dugu Yan, who had been mentally prepared, was startled.

His fourth Soul Ring was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

At that moment, everyone assumed that this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had only just crossed the ten-thousand-year threshold.

No one would have imagined that this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring came from a 23,000-year mutated soul beast, the Hell Poison Lizard.

"Excellent! You truly are a once-in-a-generation genius. As expected of Poison Douluo's grandson. Welcome to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. From today onward, you are an elite genius of the Heaven Dou Level."

"The three of us will be fully responsible for teaching you."

Chief Education Committee member Meng Shenji said excitedly.

With Dugu Feng's talent, he would certainly become a Titled Douluo in the future.

"By the way, child, how old are you now?"

The more meticulous Bai Baoshan asked.

Dugu Feng thought for a moment before saying,

"I think I'm eleven."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

An eleven-year-old Soul Ancestor—unprecedented.
