Hua Qingluo

It held a pivotal position and wielded immense influence.

By the time Si Tingxuan arrived at the academy gates, the place was already packed.

Over a hundred young people from the Tianling Mountain Range region had arrived early, some alone and some accompanied by their elders.

They were afraid of missing the registration deadline.

Of course, Odd Weapons Academy was an advanced academy, and admission came with requirements.

The first requirement was the strength of a Two-Ring Great Soul Master. This was the basic requirement for all advanced academies!

The second requirement was that one's Martial Soul had to be a Weapon Soul.

The third requirement was that one could not be older than eighteen.

Si Tingxuan's arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.

After all, his instructor's uniform was quite conspicuous.

More importantly, compared to the other instructors in their forties and fifties, he was not even thirty, making him seem exceptionally young.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Some pointed at him in astonishment. "He's an instructor too? He's way too young!"

The speaker was plainly dressed and was clearly just a Soul Master from an ordinary background.

Those from small and medium-sized Soul Master Families immediately looked at him with disdain before turning to Si Tingxuan with admiration. "What do you know? Not only is he the academy's youngest instructor, he's also a Soul Emperor. He's one of the top three experts in the academy."

"A Soul Emperor? Goodness, in the small city where I was born, a Soul King was already the strongest. There wasn't even a single Soul Emperor, let alone one so young."

"Forget your city! A Soul Emperor this young doesn't exist anywhere in the entire Baroque Kingdom, or even on the whole continent. I heard that even that legendary figure was far inferior to him at this age."

"If only I could become his disciple. Better yet, call him Teacher!"

"You really dare to dream!"

On the continent, only someone one had formally taken as a master could be called Teacher. In all other circumstances, they were called instructors.

Just like Tang San and Grandmaster in the original story.

So Teacher was not a title one could use casually.

Yet beside them, the eyes of a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl gleamed brilliantly at those words.

Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists!

She thought excitedly, If I'm fortunate enough to become his disciple, the crisis facing my family can be resolved with ease!

She was not a Soul Master from an ordinary family, but from a small Soul Master Family.

As such, she knew far more than ordinary Soul Masters. The youngest Soul Emperor in history. The person in the Baroque Kingdom most likely to become a Titled Douluo.

His status and standing were far beyond those of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

Her name was Hua Qingluo. She was the eldest daughter of the Hua Family's patriarch in Wise Peak City, a hundred li north of Sky Spirit City. The Hua Family was considered a powerful force in Wise Peak City.

Together with two other families, they were known as the three great Soul Master Families of Wise Peak City.

As the daughter of the Hua Family patriarch, her status was naturally noble, but that nobility extended only as far as Wise Peak City.

Once she left Wise Peak City, she was merely a little genius with some talent.

She was a smart person, so she understood her place well. After leaving Wise Peak City, she kept an extremely low profile and never caused trouble.

Because she understood that outside Wise Peak City, she was nothing, and no one would give the Hua Family any face.

"Whether our Hua Family can overcome this crisis depends entirely on you. As long as you enter Odd Weapons Academy and catch the eye of this youngest Soul Emperor, then even if Dongfang Ming is favored by Exotic Beast Academy, he won't be able to do anything to us."

Standing beside Hua Qingluo was an old man over fifty.

He was an elder of the Hua Family and Hua Qingluo's second grandfather.

Though he was only a Level 52 Soul King, he was still among the top five strongest members of the Hua Family.

His strength ranked only below the old patriarch, the current patriarch, and the Great Elder.

However, these words were not meant only for Hua Qingluo. They were also directed at a young man standing nearby.

His name was Hua Bufan, the youngest son of the Hua Family patriarch and Hua Qingluo's biological younger brother.

He was also the Hua Family's number one genius and the hope of everyone in the Hua Family.

As for Hua Qingluo, well... it was hard to put into words!

Her Martial Soul came from her mother's side of the family. When she awakened it, everyone's hearts sank the moment they saw it.

But when her Soul Power was tested, it turned out to be even better than Hua Bufan's—Innate Level Seven Soul Power!

However, her Martial Soul was simply too bizarre. It was so bizarre that when the family patriarch and elders hunted for her first and second soul rings, their hairlines visibly receded.

If it happened a few more times, the Hua Family patriarch and the council of elders would probably all go bald.

After much deliberation, the entire Hua Family sent her to Odd Weapons Academy. After all, no academy was more suitable for her bizarre Martial Soul than this one.

"Hahaha, this is killing me. You, Hua Bufan, actually think you can catch that man's eye? Why don't you piss in a puddle and take a look at yourself? Do you deserve it?"

Everyone from the Hua Family was far too familiar with that voice. They did not even need to turn around to know who had arrived.

Hua Qingluo was very close to Hua Bufan, so before he could retort, she immediately struck back. Turning around, she glared angrily at the newcomer. "Zhang Liang, if my brother doesn't deserve it, do you?"

Zhang Liang was from the Zhang Family of Wise Peak City.

The Zhang Family, the Oriental Family, and Hua Qingluo's Hua Family were known as the three great families of Wise Peak City. In truth, they were all merely bottom-tier Soul Master Families.

Zhang Liang, however, possessed the greatest talent among his generation in the Zhang Family.

He had once been Wise Peak City's number one genius, but after Hua Qingluo and Hua Bufan awakened their Martial Souls, he had been surpassed.

Thus, he had always harbored hostility toward Hua Qingluo and Hua Bufan.

He glanced disdainfully at Hua Qingluo. "And you—if I had a Martial Soul like yours, I'd jump into a river and drown myself. How do you still have the nerve to keep living?"

Hua Bufan sneered as well. "You're just a defeated opponent. What right do you have to bark in front of us? And don't forget, this is Odd Weapons Academy. The more bizarre the Martial Soul, the more valuable it is here."

After saying that, he comforted Hua Qingluo. "Sis, don't mind him."

Zhang Liang sneered as well. "Hua Bufan, you should know that my Martial Soul is the Three Star Sword. Sword-type Martial Souls are extremely rare. With my talent, it won't be difficult for me to gain the attention of Odd Weapons Academy's director of instruction. With his guidance, I'm sure the gap between our strengths will quickly widen."

At that moment, the instructor responsible for this registration also noticed Si Tingxuan's arrival.

He could not help but freeze, thinking, Wasn't I in charge this time? Why is he here?

Still, he did not ask any questions.

Instead, he politely nodded to Si Tingxuan before calling out to the many people who had come to register, "Everyone, quiet down. Registration begins now. Please line up and come forward one by one. Don't rush, don't panic. We won't miss anyone."
