Xue Ye's letter, a level fifty-nine food system Soul Master

"The seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team are all top-tier Heaven Dou Grade fighters. The student you encountered at the foot of the mountain was only at the Heavenly Subtle Level."

"Teachers are ranked the same as students, but the requirements are higher. Reaching level 40 in Soul Power is the requirement for teaching at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it's also the entry threshold for teachers at ordinary high-level Soul Master Academy."

"At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, teachers between level 40 and 50 are considered Heavenly Subtle Level Teacher. Those between level 50 and Level 60 are Heavenly Supreme Level Teacher. Those above Level 60 are Heaven Dou Grade Teacher. Currently, the academy has eight teachers who have reached the Heaven Dou Grade."

"Because the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is affiliated with the Imperial Family, and its nominal dean is His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, there is no longer a dean position within the academy. Normally, all matters, large and small, are decided by the Education Committee, which is handled by myself and the two Academic Committee members beside me. However, for important matters, we still need to consult the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee is just ahead."

Huo Lei scanned the surrounding environment and found that the Education Committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was located in the center of the main campus. It was the largest building in the entire main campus. Although it was also a single-story building, the highest point reached ten meters, which made it look somewhat like the Spirit Hall.

Meng Shenji said, "Please don't stand on ceremony, both of you. Make yourselves at home here. Come in, please."

The Education Committee was not as luxurious as one might imagine. On the contrary, the offices and residences of these three Soul Douluo were very simple, with only essential furnishings and a few simple green plants as decorations.

The guests took their seats according to their roles as host and guest. An Jun took the seat to Huo Lei's left first, while gesturing for Huo Lei to sit in the seat to his right. Huo Lei had no choice but to sit down.

All three education committee members were Soul Douluo- level powerhouses, so An Jun and Huo Lei's actions naturally didn't escape their notice. The three committee members exchanged glances, all filled with doubt, but tacitly chose to remain silent. They believed that An Jun have his reasons for doing so. At the same time, the three committee members looked at Huo Lei with more seriousness.

Meng Shenji had his servants bring tea and snacks, while his gaze fell on his friend An Jun. "Brother An Jun, we haven't seen each other for so many years. I wonder what your Soul Power Level has reached now?"

An Jun smiled slightly and said modestly, "I am but a humble brother who has just broken through to Level 90. I wonder how Brother Shenji is doing now?"

An Jun's words startled the three members of the Education Commission sitting on the sofa.

Everyone in the Soul Master World understands what Level 90 means. With just one more Soul Ring, one can become a legendary Titled Douluo, whose status will completely surpass that of Soul Douluo.

After his initial shock, Meng Shenji gave a wry smile. "It's been many years, and Brother An Jun's progress has been so rapid. I, your humble brother, am truly inadequate. My Soul Power Level is only Level 87. I'm afraid I'll never be Titled Douluo in this lifetime."

"In more than four years, Meng Shenji has indeed only improved by one level, just as I guessed. The higher the Soul Master's level, the more difficult it is to improve. At his current age and with his current rate of improvement, without any fortuitous encounters or the support of Soul Bone, it will really be difficult for him to break through to the Titled Douluo." Huo Lei's thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Brother Shenji, there's no need to be pessimistic. There is still hope in this life," An Jun comforted Meng Shenji.

Meng Shenji shook his head with a wry smile and remained silent.

At this moment, Zhi Lin suddenly spoke up, "The Twin Martial Marquis had already reached the Soul King level during the Soul Master Preliminary Round. I wonder how their strength is now, four years later?"

Both Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan turned their curious gazes toward Huo Lei.

In response to Zhi Lin's question, Huo Lei smiled slightly and replied calmly, "This junior is not very talented; my current Soul Power is level seventy-eight."

"The 78th grade?" The three education commissioners stood up abruptly from the sofa in shock, all with expressions of disbelief.

Zhi Lin's speech had become slurred, "You... you... how did you... do that? In four years, you increased your Soul Power by more than twenty levels."

Huo Lei glanced at the three education committee members and said politely, "To be honest, I have just finished four years of training in the Death Grand Canyon."

"How old are you this year?" Bai Baoshan's fat face trembled as he couldn't help but ask.

"I am twenty-one years old this year," Huo Lei replied.

The three education commissioners stood frozen in place, as if time had stopped, their eyes dimming as if they had been attacked by a ghost.

After a moment, Meng Shenji let out a long sigh, "Alas! If only the Twin Martial Marquis were from our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then I, as the chief instructor, would die without regret. Unfortunately, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not so fortunate. The Twin Martial Marquis and Brother An Jun's sudden visit must have something to discuss, right?"

Meng Shenji and the other two education committee members had returned to their original state, their eyes shining again, and they all sat back down in their original seats.

Huo Lei said, "I do have a matter to attend to during this visit. May I ask, Senior Meng Shenji, are there any Food System Soul Master within the academy?"

Meng Shenji affirmed, "Yes, but only a handful. Why are the Twin Martial Marquis suddenly asking about this?"

"To be honest, the reason I came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is to find a suitable Food Soul Master." After Huo Lei finished speaking, he flipped his right hand, and a letter appeared in his hand. He stood up from his seat and handed the letter to Meng Shenji with both hands.

Seeing Huo Lei's serious expression, Meng Shenji stood up and accepted the letter with both hands. He looked at Huo Lei with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is this, Twin Martial Marquis?"

Huo Lei said solemnly, "This is a letter written by His Majesty himself. You'll understand once you've read it."

Meng Shenji's expression instantly turned serious, while the other two education committee members stood up from their seats.

Meng Shenji carefully opened the letter and softly read, "To the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Seeing this letter is like seeing the Emperor. If you can fulfill the request made by the Twin Martial Marquis Huo Lei, please do so and provide all necessary assistance. Xue Ye."

Meng Shenji folded the letter again and handed it back to Huo Lei with both hands. He said, "Please feel free to make any requests you may have, Twin Martial Marquis. As long as it is within the capabilities of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we will do our best to fulfill them."

Huo Lei put away the letter and asked, "Senior Meng Shenji, how many Food System Soul Master above level 50 are there at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Meng Shenji said, "Food System Soul Master are already rare, and the academy only has two who have reached level 50 or above. Both of them are Heavenly Supreme Level Teacher, one at level 52 and the other at Level 59. Should we call both of them over?"

Huo Lei said, "No need. Just call over the Soul Master who has reached Level 59."

Meng Shenji looked at Zhi Lin and instructed, "Zhi Lin, quickly go and invite Teacher Yunxiang over."

Zhi Lin nodded and strode outside.

"Please wait a moment, my Twin Martial Marquis." Meng Shenji's tone held a newfound respect.

At this moment, Huo Lei was overjoyed.

"Excellent! I didn't expect the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to actually have a Food System Soul Master suitable for me. Level 59, what a coincidence! One level higher, and they would probably have already acquired their Soul Ring; one level lower, and they would have to wait several more months. Level 59 is just right. Judging from the Dream God's tone, this Food System Soul Master hasn't just broken through; they've probably been at Level 59 for some time. If that's the case, once we reach the Frozen Forest, I believe it won't be long before this Food System Soul Master breaks through to Level 60, at which point they'll be able to acquire their Soul Ring."
