I can make an exception for you.
Huo Yao's words were intended to disassociate the three committee members from the matter and to show that his academy did not actually want to be enemies with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy or the royal family; they simply wanted a spot.
"Hmm." Meng Shenji nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "However, don't get your hopes up too high. In this exchange competition, our Heaven Dou Royal Academy will definitely win."
Seeing Meng Shenji's confident demeanor, the dean of the Skywater Academy wore a thoughtful expression. Before coming here, she had received news that the granddaughter of Titled Douluo had undergone Martial Soul Evolution, greatly increasing her strength, and had defeated Yu Tianheng of the Spirit Hall, who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, in one move.
" Education Committee Member Meng, could it be that the Poison Douluo's granddaughter's Martial Soul has truly evolved?" the dean of the Skywater Academy asked directly.
"I didn't expect Dean Shui to be so well-informed." Meng Shenji smiled.
"So it's true?" Huo Yao pressed.
Meng Shenji smiled without saying a word, and continued, "Actually, even if you lose this exchange competition, you can still petition the royal family."
"You mean... I understand. Regardless of the outcome of this exchange competition, we will petition."
Huo Yao understood that Meng Shenji wanted to use pressure from other academies to force the royal family to make corresponding changes, so that Meng Shenji could then offer some suggestions.
This is not a bad thing for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. As for the other academies, even if the royal family refuses their joint petition, they will still receive corresponding benefits as appeasement, since these academies will also be fighting for the Heaven Dou Empire in the future.
"Alright, since that's the case, it's settled. All of you, please prepare well for this exchange competition, and I wish you all the best in achieving your goals."
Meng Shenji smiled. Whether he lost or won this exchange competition, it would be acceptable to him and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Of course, winning would be the best outcome. He also believed in Dugu Yan's strength. After all, Soul King who was not even 17 years old was unheard of in the entire Douluo Continent.
" Education Committee Member Meng. In that case, we won't disturb you any longer. We'll take our leave now."
The deans of the three colleges got up and left the Education Commission's office, accompanied by the three Education Commission members and Qin Ming.
The moment the deans of the three colleges left the Education Commission office, Jun Yi received the news and led the students to wait at the school gate.
"Wow, time flies! It's almost time to go back."
Shui Bing'er stood in front of the school gate, looking at the scenery inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and sighed.
"You guys are leaving, but I still have to be a guide tomorrow," Jun Yi smile.
"Wait, sister, didn't you say that only the three of our colleges were coming to visit this time? Or did I remember wrong?"
Shui Yue'er turned to Shui Bing'er and asked to confirm if she had remembered it wrong.
Shui Bing'er shook her head and replied, "If you remember correctly, it's possible that Junior Brother Jun didn't receive complete information."
What do you mean?
Seeing that she remembered correctly, Shui Yue'er nodded and explained to Jun Yi, "It's like this, there are many teams invited to participate in this exchange competition, and several academies discussed it and decided that our three academies would represent us to discuss the details of this exchange competition."
"So, I'll just be your guide for one day?"
Jun Yi felt very happy. After all, he was enjoying spending time with a group of beautiful girls today. However, there were fewer pretty girls among the students from other colleges, and he didn't want to be a guide for a bunch of grown men. That would be too gay.
"Mmm." Shui Yue'er nodded repeatedly.
Just then, the deans of the three colleges, along with three members of the education committee and Teacher Qin Ming, walked towards them.
"How do you feel? Isn't the Heaven Dou Royal Academy better than you imagined?"
Huo Yao spoke first to his students, who simply nodded slightly without saying a word. Even the aggressive Huo Wu remained silent.
Huo Yao instantly understood that his test had failed, but he didn't show it. He still had a cheerful expression on his face, patted Huo Wushuang on the shoulder and said, "Hahaha, the campus environment of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is indeed quite nice. Even I can't help but take a few more glances."
The dean of the Plant Academy noticed that the atmosphere among her students wasn't good either, with everyone remaining silent. She assumed that Soul Fighting had suffered a loss and didn't say anything more.
However, Skywater Academy was completely different from the other two academies. Every student had a smile on their face, which made the dean of the Skywater Academy curious. When he walked in and saw Jun Yi and Shui Yue'er chatting happily, his curiosity grew even stronger.
"What happened? Why are you all so happy?" the dean of the Skywater Academy asked as he walked in.
" Aunt Bing, did you know that Jun Yi wants to join our Skywater Academy?"
Shui Yue'er went directly to the Dean of the Skywater Academy, took her arm, and said with a smile.
"Huh, is that so?" The dean of the Skywater Academy looked surprised.
"Yes, not only that, his Martial Soul is also related to ice, and he's even better at controlling ice elements than my sister!"
Shui Yue'er recounted her entire day's experience to the dean, which shocked everyone present.
"You said Jun Yi's Soul Power Level reached 39? And he even suppressed your sister in the use of ice elements?"
The dean of the Skywater Academy was shocked. Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul was the Ice Phoenix, which had an extremely strong affinity for ice elements. He never expected that Jun Yi could suppress Shui Bing'er.
What's even more shocking is Jun Yi's Soul Power —level 39? Jun Yi is only 12 years old this year; what terrifying talent!
After listening to Shui Bing'er's explanation, the deans of the other two academies understood why the atmosphere among their students had become so strange—it turned out they had been discouraged by Jun Yi.
" Teacher Qin, I remember Jun Yi's Soul Power Level was 33, right? It's only been less than half a month, how come he's already level 39?"
Meng Shenji used telepathy to inquire of Qin Ming Mingdao, saying that he had not seen Jun Yi Meng Shenji he returned to the academy and was unaware that Jun Yi had taken the Immortal Herb.
"I apologize, Education Commissioner, I forgot to tell you for a moment. Jun Yi's Soul Power was enhanced because he took the herbs given to him by the Poison Douluo."
Qin Ming, with an apologetic expression, transmitted his voice to Meng Shenji.
"Good, good, we, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, will definitely win this exchange competition." Meng Shenji's face immediately lit up with a smile.
At the Skywater Academy, after hearing Jun Yi's method for better controlling ice elements, they expressed their agreement.
She walked slowly to Jun Yi, smiling as she asked, " Jun Yi, although our academy has a rule against admitting male students, if you really want to join Tianshui, I can make an exception for you."
