A long silence fell over the spacious hall.

The radiant flower of mixed elements spun slowly and gracefully, its serene demeanor mirroring that of its owner.

Call!

After a long while, Meng Shenji finally let out a long breath, his gaze fixed on the pretty black-haired girl, his eyes filled with shock.

What do you all think?

Gu Yue spoke with a smile, her tone relaxed.

Previously, she had asked Bi Ji to find a way to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Bi Ji did not disappoint her. She found the simplest and most direct method and went directly to the three education committee members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin. She first showed her strength at the level of Titled Douluo, then claimed that a junior in her family wanted to enroll, and also brought up the all-purpose excuse of "a hidden family".

On one hand, there was the immense pressure emanating from the "Healing- Titled Douluo," and on the other hand, there was curiosity about the genius of the hidden family. The three education committee members agreed to Bi Ji's request almost without hesitation.

After all, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy already had no shortage of people with connections, so one more wouldn't hurt. Besides, they could use this opportunity to befriend a powerful figure who was very likely to be the first support-type Titled Douluo on the continent. How could they refuse such a good thing?

And so, today's meeting took place.

When Bi Ji brought Gu Yue to their door, Gu Yue displayed his talent, which gave the three education committee members a slight shock from the Silver Dragon King's control over the elements, once again refreshing their understanding of genius.

Are you really only ten years old?

Meng Shenji was the first to regain his senses, his voice filled with disbelief.

Gu Yue blinked and nodded reservedly. Although she couldn't remember how many years she had been asleep, she had deliberately set her age to ten when she transformed, so she couldn't be wrong about that.

"Genius! Truly a genius! An unprecedented genius!"

Bai Baoshan slammed his hand on the table, his excitement practically overflowing. "Such astonishing elemental control ability, he's simply a prodigy! He feels like he's on par with that kid in terms of sheer freakishness!"

"Ahem." Zhi Lin quickly interrupted him, secretly glaring at Bai Baoshan. The girl was still young; how could she speak so recklessly? What if she corrupted the child?

Having slept for countless years, yet still appearing as a "ten-year-old," the Silver Dragon King blinked and asked with feigned curiosity, "Who else is as freakish as me?"

"Ahem, I misspoke. He's not a pervert, he's a genius!"

Bai Baoshan quickly changed his tune, trying to regain the authority of the Education Commissioner: "He is a student of our academy, with unparalleled talent and unimaginable strength. While your elemental manipulation abilities are certainly extraordinary and comparable to his talent, there is probably still a gap in combat power."

Gu Yue was overjoyed: Could this person be the chosen Child of the Plane I've been searching for?

She couldn't help but recall her journey – not only did she have to resist the temptations of all kinds of delicious food in the human world, but she also had to maintain the Silver Dragon King's full majesty at all times to prevent Bi Ji from discovering that she was secretly eating. It was truly too hard!

"Who is he?"

Gu Yue suppressed her eagerness and quickly pressed for an answer.

"His name is Tang Shan, and he possesses Body Martial Soul. Body Martial Soul refers to—"

Fearing Gu Yue might not understand the Body Martial Soul, Zhi Lin offered a brief explanation. In his view, it was perfectly normal for geniuses from reclusive families, who were solely focused on cultivation, to be unaware of Trash Martial Soul; moreover, if she hadn't devoted all her time to cultivation, how could this young woman possess such astonishing elemental control abilities?

Gu Yue completely ignored Ke Zhi Lin's explanation. Her mind was filled with doubt: Wait a minute, why Tang Shan again? Where is the Child of the Plane I'm looking for?

On my way here, I noticed that many people in the academy had had their fates altered. Logically, the Child of the Plane should be here, so why haven't I found a single clue?

On the other side, as if sensing someone's thoughts, Su Yuntao couldn't help but sneeze.

He looked at the scorching sun in the sky, puzzled, then scratched his head, muttering to himself, "How strange, why am I sneezing on such a hot day? Could it be that Dad and Shanzi are thinking of me?"

Ahead, the outline of a city wall can be seen in the distance.

A vast and mighty will quietly permeated the heavens and earth, and a wisp of that will landed on the young man walking on the road.

Seeing that her Sovereign's eyes were vacant and he was clearly lost in thought again, Bi Ji shook her head helplessly and then interrupted Zhi Lin's introduction of Tang Shan: "What do you all think?"

Before she finished speaking, a rich life force surged from her body, transforming into gentle Soul Power that instantly filled the entire room.

This Soul Power was completely harmless, yet cold sweat simultaneously broke out on the foreheads of the three education committee members. They subconsciously exchanged glances, and years of tacit understanding led them to instantly reach a consensus: this was definitely not an ordinary Titled Douluo!

As the chief education committee member, Meng Shenji spoke first, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful. "Senior, rest assured, with Gu Yue's talent, there will be absolutely no problem for her to enroll in our academy! Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

What a joke! Such a genius, perhaps even comparable to Tang Shan, would be unforgivable if we didn't accept him. Moreover, there's a Titled Douluo with unfathomable cultivation standing beside him. Gu Yue's enrollment is practically a done deal.

Seeing that Meng Shenji had agreed, Bi Ji slowly withdrew her aura.

Meng Shenji secretly gave Bai Baoshan beside him a wink, signaling him to speak.

Bai Baoshan, the most approachable-looking of them all, looked troubled and cautiously glanced at Bi Ji: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask. Of course, in any case, there's no problem with Gu Yue's enrollment."

At first, he wanted to address Bi Ji as "Senior," but then he thought that although he was an old man, she was a young and beautiful female Titled Douluo. However, no one could say for sure who was older or younger—it was common for healing-type Titled Douluo to have methods to maintain their youth. Also, considering that most women were averse to being called old, he simply changed his address to "Your Majesty."

Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, was known for her gentle nature. If it weren't for Gu Yue's enrollment, she probably wouldn't have even released that bit of Soul Power pressure just now. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Please speak."

"Well, now that Gu Yue has joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would it be possible for her to represent the academy in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy? Of course, everything will be based on Gu Yue's cultivation progress. If she can't find the time, we won't force her."

Bai Baoshan's tone was exceptionally polite, after all, the person he was inviting this time was different from the person he was inviting from Tang Shan.

Xue Qinghe is a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. It wasn't too difficult for him to let Tang Shan, who was under his command, participate in the competition. Although Xue Qinghe only agreed to let Tang Shan participate in one competition, the process went smoothly.

Gu Yue is an outsider student, backed by a mysterious and terrifying hidden family. No one knows if other Titled Douluo are secretly watching her. Inviting her to participate in the competition through the Empire's connections is obviously unrealistic. He can only try to bring it up under the pretext of enrolling in the university.

If Gu Yue agreed to participate, and Tang Shan participated once, and Gu Yue participated again, the academy could win two consecutive championships. How could he not be tempted by such a good deal?

Instead of answering immediately, Bi Ji turned her questioning gaze to Gu Yue.

The three education committee members were all taken aback: Gu Yue's background was indeed extraordinary! Even Titled Douluo had to seek her opinion, so it seemed that their previous guess that the two were in a senior-junior relationship was completely wrong.

"Can."

Gu Yue's answer instantly delighted Meng Shenji and the other two, but her next words plunged their spirits into despair.

"I can participate, but I'm very interested in that Tang Shan. Whichever year he participates in, I'll participate too."

Bai Baoshan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but in the end he didn't say anything. Let it be. Getting Gu Yue to participate was already an unexpected bonus, why ask for more? With her there, it was a guarantee. In case the Spirit Hall team was strong that year, it would increase their chances of winning.

Of course, Bai Baoshan really couldn't imagine how terrifying Tang Shan, with its formidable fighting power now, would become by the time of the competition, or what kind of outrageous opponents it would face that would require outside help.

"This is an identity token, which allows you to freely enter and exit most areas of the academy."

After completing the enrollment procedures, Bi Ji exchanged a few pleasantries with the three education committee members, and then led Gu Yue out of the sixth floor of the main teaching building.

"Did Di Tian come by yesterday? Did something happen?"

As Gu Yue walked down the spiral staircase, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked casually.

Bi Ji's expression immediately became somewhat subtle, as the image of Di Tian and Xiong Jun secretly visiting their Sovereign yesterday flashed through her mind. Fortunately, she quickly found an excuse; wasn't Xiong Jun's ordeal the best explanation?

"Ahem, Xiong Jun went to the sea to forage for food a while ago and accidentally got injured on an island. Di Tian brought him here for me to treat."

Gu Yue's steps suddenly halted, her gaze sharpening as she looked at Bi Ji: "Who injured Xiong Jun? With his strength, unless Di Tian or the Snow Empress of the Far North intervened, it would be impossible for him to be injured. Could it be that the big-eyed creature I mentioned? No, that guy spends all his time in his forest and almost never goes out."

Or did he encounter a Limit powerful being from the human world?

"It's not human, it's Soul Beast, and it's not the evil eye that Snow Empress and you, my Sovereign, discovered," Bi Ji replied.

Gu Yue stopped abruptly, turned around to look at Bi Ji, and asked in a tone full of doubt, "Could it be the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King? Impossible! He was tricked by the Sea God and can barely protect himself. How could he provoke the Soul Beast of our Star Dou Forest?"

During the time she was learning about human lifestyles, Gu Yue didn't just stay in the Star Dou Great Forest. Instead, she used her pre-transformation god-level strength to explore Douluo Star.

Although she didn't use god-level power, she still made some significant discoveries.
