Dai Jinge opened his information panel.
[Template: God of War Feng Yao] [Ability: Grow stronger through battle] [Ultimate move: Shining Spirit Art] [Equipment: White Tiger Power Lock (Douluo version), increases combat power tenfold when equipped] [Name: Dai Jinge] [Martial Soul: White Tiger] [Soul Power: Level 32] [Soul Skills: Instant Teleportation, White Tiger Annihilation Strike, White Tiger Radiant Barrier]
Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Jinge, are we going to Heaven Dou City now?"
Dai Jinge said thoughtfully, "I've already decided. We'll stay at Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City for a while first. The academy has the backing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so it should be a pretty good place to study."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of a problem and asked worriedly:
"Jinge, you're the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, and I'm the Nether Duke's daughter. Is it really all right for us to study in an enemy nation's capital?"
Dai Jinge was unconcerned and reassured her:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you can rest easy about that. The Heaven Dou Empire has nothing to gain by targeting us. That would only let Dai Weisi and your sister inherit the throne without any pressure. The Heaven Dou Emperor isn't an idiot."
"I believe that if he discovers our identities, not only will he not harm us, he might even help us and try to befriend us."
"Even if we don't reveal our identities ourselves, as long as we use our martial souls and perform our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, anyone knowledgeable who sees us will still recognize who we are."
"So there's no need to deliberately hide anything. We can carry on just as we always have."
After listening to Dai Jinge's analysis, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense."
Dai Jinge raised his hand and pressed the [White Tiger Power Lock]. A soft chime rang out, followed by a roar that thundered through the night.
The [Tiger Roaring Flash Chariot] streaked across the night sky and descended.
Dai Jinge took Zhu Zhuqing's small hand, and they climbed onto the back of the [Tiger Roaring Flash Chariot] together.
"We'll go straight to Heaven Dou City."
Leaning against Dai Jinge's chest as the cool wind brushed past them, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked, "Jinge, what's your third Soul Skill?"
Dai Jinge smiled faintly. "An enhancement-type Soul Skill. I named it White Tiger Radiant Barrier."
"Once activated, it increases both my strength and speed by two hundred percent. While it's active, I'm immune to negative status effects, and it's exceptionally effective against darkness, evil, plant, and poison attributes."
Understanding dawned on Zhu Zhuqing, and she let out an "Oh," then asked in surprise:
"Jinge, I've heard my father say that throughout the generations, everyone with the White Tiger martial soul has had the same first three Soul Skills: White Tiger Protection Barrier, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation."
"Why don't you have a single one of those three?"
Dai Jinge said with a sigh:
"Except for White Tiger Vajra Transformation, the other two are too weak. Once you become a Soul Saint, they're practically useless."
"I originally wanted all my first six Soul Skills to be enhancement-type skills, but pulling that off is far too difficult."
"Because the Soul Skill you obtain doesn't just depend on the kind of Soul Ring you absorb. Luck plays a part too."
"Take my second Soul Ring's skill, White Tiger Annihilation Strike. Although it gives me the power to annihilate and rend, making it particularly effective against defensive Soul Masters and Soul Skills, it's fundamentally a single-target attack skill."
Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in surprise, "That's already amazing! Jinge, you're so hard to satisfy!"
Dai Jinge smiled. "It's precisely because I'm not satisfied that I have the drive to keep moving forward."
Heaven Dou City.
Dai Jinge and Zhu Zhuqing chose a hotel with its lights still on and settled in for the night.
Star Luo City lay in the south, its scenery beautiful and exceptionally elegant, while Heaven Dou City lay in the north and looked more imposing and majestic.
Of course.
That didn't mean the Heaven Dou Empire was stronger than the Star Luo Empire. The Heaven Dou Empire had been founded earlier, but by now, the Star Luo Empire had surpassed it in national strength.
By the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
Dai Jinge and Zhu Zhuqing straightened their clothes. Rather than rushing to admire the unfamiliar sights of Heaven Dou City, they headed to Blue Tyrant Academy's entrance first.
Blue Tyrant Academy occupied the largest forest within Heaven Dou City, making it exceptionally easy to find.
The academy's gates stood a full ten meters tall, carved entirely from white jade. Elegant, luxurious, and magnificent, they bore eight large gilded characters overhead-Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy.
A guard post stood beside the gates, with a balding man in his forties stationed inside.
Holding Zhu Zhuqing's small hand, Dai Jinge walked over and asked, "Hello, we'd like to apply to join Blue Tyrant Academy."
The balding middle-aged man looked Dai Jinge and Zhu Zhuqing up and down, surprise written all over his face.
"You two... aren't adults yet, are you?"
Dai Jinge and Zhu Zhuqing simply looked too young. Their rapid increase in Soul Power had caused their bodies to develop swiftly in a short time. Both their heights and appearances had changed considerably, making them look much more mature.
But... they still looked very young, a far cry from adults.
It wasn't their height, but the childishness in their faces.
Dai Jinge and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged smiles at his words.
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled. "Sir, we may be young, but our cultivation isn't low."
"Oh?"
The balding middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and explained, "Our Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy may not be a top institution, but gaining admission is no simple matter. First... you must reach at least level twenty-one Soul Power before turning eighteen."
"Easy!"
A smug smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
The next instant.
Her Hell Spirit Cat possessed her, and a yellow Soul Ring and a purple Soul Ring appeared beside her.
The balding middle-aged man rubbed his eyes and looked again carefully. Finally, he pinched his thigh hard. Only after feeling genuine pain did he confirm that everything before him was real, and he could no longer remain calm.
"Good heavens..."
Seeing his reaction, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the first time in her life she had shown off.
"Zhu Zhuqing. Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat. My current Soul Power is level twenty-seven."
The balding middle-aged man sucked in a breath.
However-
Dai Jinge immediately activated White Tiger Possession, and one yellow Soul Ring and two purple Soul Rings appeared in succession.
At the sight, the balding middle-aged man's eyes went wide, and he muttered to himself, "Looks like I need to go to bed earlier from now on. I'm even hallucinating..."
"Dai Jinge. Martial Soul: White Tiger. My current Soul Power is level thirty-two."
Dai Jinge's words pulled the balding middle-aged man out of his stunned stupor.
The balding middle-aged man shook his head and asked seriously, "You two... aren't commoners, are you?"
Dai Jinge knew Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy's admissions requirements very well. One of them was that it admitted only commoners, not noble students.
"We... are commoners now."
