At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the carriage finally stopped in front of the administration building.

Lin Ye, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing followed Xue Qinghe out of the carriage.

Xue Qinghe led the way, with Lin Ye walking beside him, calmly surveying their surroundings.

Ning Rongrong looked around curiously, while Zhu Zhuqing followed quietly behind Lin Ye.

Xue Qinghe brought them straight to the education board members' office.

The three board members—Zhi Lin, Bai Baoshan, and Meng Shenji—had already received word and were waiting there.

Seeing the crown prince arrive in person, they immediately bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness."

"Please, dispense with the formalities." Smiling, Xue Qinghe helped the bowing board members straighten up.

After this brief exchange of courtesies between prince and subjects, Xue Qinghe stepped aside, revealing Lin Ye and the two girls behind him.

"I came today to introduce a few outstanding young Soul Masters to the academy."

As the chief board member, Zhi Lin swept a gentle gaze over the three of them and said politely, "Anyone Your Highness personally recommends must be exceptional."

"Please, let the three of them demonstrate their abilities."

Lin Ye glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, signaling for her to go first.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and stepped forward, releasing her martial soul. The Hell Spirit Cat possessed her, and two yellow soul rings rose beneath her feet.

She flashed around the office at incredible speed, her movements clean and precise, accelerating and stopping with effortless control.

"What incredible speed!" Bai Baoshan could not help praising her.

Meng Shenji nodded. "Such speed and control are rare in an agility-type Soul Master."

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Zhi Lin's eyes flickered with understanding. "The Hell Spirit Cat. Are you from the Star Luo Zhu Family?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently.

The three board members exchanged glances, a trace of wariness stirring within them. But remembering that the crown prince had brought her, they relaxed again.

Although the Star Luo Zhu Family belonged to the Star Luo Empire, the crown prince had personally brought this girl here. Perhaps she was a talent he had cultivated within the Star Luo Empire?

Besides, the Star Luo Empire was weaker than the Heaven Dou Empire, so they had no need to worry.

Next came Ning Rongrong. She stepped forward, and an exquisite, crystal-clear Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her palm. Three soul rings manifested at once: two yellow and one purple.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Heavens!"

All three board members cried out in shock. It really was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Zhu Zhuqing had merely shown excellent talent, with a somewhat different background.

But Ning Rongrong's martial soul marked her as someone of far nobler standing!

The moment her martial soul appeared, they understood who stood before them.

The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the pearl in Ning Fengzhi's palm!

"You... are you Miss Ning Rongrong?" Even Zhi Lin's voice sounded uncertain.

Ning Rongrong smiled. "Yes, Grandpa, I'm Ning Rongrong."

The three board members looked at Xue Qinghe.

The crown prince had actually brought the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to the Heaven Dou Academy?

Although His Highness was the disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master, securing Ning Fengzhi's permission to bring this little princess here suggested that his relationship with the sect had grown even closer.

"No wonder... no wonder Your Highness came in person!" Bai Baoshan exclaimed.

Meng Shenji was all smiles as well. "It is truly an honor for our Heaven Dou Academy to welcome Miss Ning Rongrong!"

Zhi Lin turned to the last youth, who had remained calm throughout. "Then this young man is..."

At those words, Xue Qinghe's smile deepened. He walked over to Lin Ye and gently patted his shoulder, the gesture noticeably affectionate.

"This one is the main attraction."

"Lin Ye is the adopted son of my teacher, Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He grew up in the sect."

He paused, raising his voice a little.

"Moreover, he is the sole personal disciple shared by His Eminence Sword Douluo Chen Xin and His Eminence Bone Douluo Gu Rong!"

Xue Qinghe spoke with great solemnity, along with a barely perceptible hint of pride.

The three board members felt as though three thunderbolts had struck them at once! Their minds buzzed!

Sword Douluo!

Bone Douluo!

The personal disciple of those two Titled Douluos?!

And their only one!

Chosen by both Douluos at once—why did this youth's standing in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seem even more extraordinary than Ning Rongrong's?

Who on the entire continent would dare offend the successor of two Titled Douluos at once?!

Their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Lin Ye!

Just what sort of talent did he possess to be valued so highly?

Xue Qinghe was very satisfied with their reactions.

"So, Lin Ye, show the three board members your martial soul."

Lin Ye nodded and willed it into being.

A seemingly unremarkable sheet of white paper condensed in his hand.

"White paper?"

The three board members stared at that plain white paper martial soul, momentarily stunned.

They had expected some earth-shaking, peerless martial soul, only to find an utterly ordinary sheet of white paper. Wasn't that contrast a little too great?

Their eyes were full of confusion. This was the martial soul of the sole personal disciple jointly chosen by two Titled Douluos?

No, no. Something was strange here.

The next moment, Xue Qinghe smiled and said unhurriedly, "Look at his soul rings."

Light swirled beneath Lin Ye's feet, and four soul rings slowly rose into view!

Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black!

The configuration of the first three rings was already astonishing!

But when the fourth soul ring, black as deep ink, rose—

Bzzzz!

The pressure of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring instantly spread through the room!

"His fourth soul ring... ten thousand years?!"

Zhi Lin pointed at the four dazzling rings beneath Lin Ye's feet. His voice had changed, filled with a sense of utter absurdity.

"An eight-hundred-year first ring?!"

"A three-thousand-year second ring?!"

"A seven-thousand-year third ring?!"

"And the fourth jumps straight to ten thousand years?!!"

"This... how is this possible?!"

"Twelve years old?! A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor?! A ten-thousand-year fourth ring?!"

These three dignified Soul Douluo-level experts now looked like children who had never seen the world!

They had completely lost control of their expressions. Their mouths gaped wide enough to fit eggs, and their eyes bulged so far they nearly popped out!

Watching the three board members lose their composure, Xue Qinghe felt an inexplicable thrill of satisfaction.

Lin Ye was so outstanding that he practically dazzled them blind.

He quickly gave a light cough, suppressing his amusement.

"Do you understand now?"

"So..."

Striking while the iron was hot, Xue Qinghe put forward his proposal.

"I would like to arrange for Lin Ye, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing to join the Imperial Fighting Team directly and represent our Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!"

"What do the three of you think?"

Still unable to pull themselves out of their immense shock, the three board members nodded instinctively at Xue Qinghe's words.

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

"With Childe Lin Ye's talent, joining the Imperial Fighting Team is only natural! It is an honor for the team!" Zhi Lin said excitedly.

Which of these three was not blessed with extraordinary talent?

Zhu Zhuqing belonged to the Star Luo Zhu Family! Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

And Lin Ye was the sole personal disciple of two Titled Douluos! His soul ring configuration alone had already shattered the limits of their understanding!

Refuse? Offend the crown prince? Offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Offend two Titled Douluos?

They had not lost their minds!

In the end, they settled the matter on the spot!

"Rest assured, Your Highness! We will handle their paperwork immediately! Everything will be arranged to the highest standard!"
