"Okay, I'll be right there."
Jun Yi turned around and said to Dugu Yan, " Sister Yanyan, I'm here..."
Before Jun Yi could finish speaking, Dugu Yan interrupted, "Don't worry, I'll explain the reason to Teacher Qin Ming. However, there's also the possibility that Teacher Qin Ming might be in the Education Commission office right now."
"That's possible. Well then, Sister Yanyan, I'll head over first. Everyone go ahead and train. I should be back soon." Jun Yi said goodbye to the group and then went to the Education Commission office.
When Jun Yi arrived at the office, he found that Qin Ming was indeed there. Apart from the three education committee members and Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were also there. When he entered the office, everyone's eyes were focused on his face.
" Brother Xue, Uncle Ning, Grandpa Bone, and the three Education Commissioners, I'm sorry I'm late," Jun Yi greeted everyone present.
" Xiao Yi, you're here! Come over here, we were just talking about you." Seeing Jun Yi arrive, Ning Fengzhi called Jun Yi over to sit down next to him.
Jun Yi sat down next to Ning Fengzhi, and then Xue Qinghe said, " Brother Yi, I didn't expect your strength to have reached this level. Your performance on the field today really surprised me."
Xue Qinghe sighed, then shook his head, his tone tinged with self-reproach, and continued, "This is also my fault. Since sending you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I haven't paid enough attention to you, and I didn't know how strong you really were. I never expected you to have grown to this level. I, as your older brother, have really been a bit incompetent."
" Brother Xue, there's no need to feel guilty. You've been so busy all these years, handling countless affairs. To me, you're the most responsible older brother," Jun Yi said with a light laugh.
"Yes, Qinghe, everyone knows that Jun Yi is your most beloved younger brother. If you are not a good older brother, then there is probably no good older brother in the world," Ning Fengzhi comforted him from the side.
The three education committee members then exchanged pleasantries, praising Xue Qinghe's actions. After all, he had secured many benefits for the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy over the years, and the three committee members sincerely supported Xue Qinghe.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xue Qinghe revealed the purpose of his visit, " Brother Yi, I've come on behalf of Father to invite you to join our Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi shook his head and replied, " Brother Xue, didn't I already say that I'm not really ready to make a decision about my future?"
"Sigh, that's what I originally told Father Emperor too, but your performance on the field today was just too good, so Father Emperor sent me here hoping I could persuade you," Xue Qinghe said with some helplessness.
Jun Yi pondered for a moment and said, " Brother Xue, I'll say it again: I'll consider it when I come of age."
"However, you can tell His Majesty that no matter where I am in the future, Jun Yi will always be Brother Xue, and nothing can change that," Jun Yi said earnestly.
After listening to Jun Yi's words Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "Actually, I had already guessed this would be the result before I came, but because it was my father's decree, I chose to give it another try."
Xue Qinghe then discussed the details of the upcoming exchange competition with the three education committee members, and reiterated his insistence that they win the team competition to secure their spots.
The three education committee members then gave their assurances and introduced Qin Ming to Xue Qinghe. Finally, the group discussed matters related to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
" Your Highness Qinghe, I wonder if His Majesty has agreed to the academy's proposal?" Meng Shenji asked.
"We're still considering it. After all, having our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy accept commoners might not be very acceptable to other noble families," Xue Qinghe replied, shaking his head.
"However, after listening to the advice of the three education commissioners, Father Emperor has actually begun to waver and believes that he will definitely be able to change the rules of our academy in the near future."
The three education commissioners were overjoyed upon hearing this; their years of hard work had finally paid off, and the college could finally make changes.
After a few more pleasantries, Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo departed.
After the three left, Meng Shenji and his two companions were all smiles, saying they wanted to take Qin Ming to Heaven Dou City to celebrate. Qin Ming declined, saying he needed to train Jun Yi and the others.
Jun Yi and Qin Ming then returned to the academy's training grounds together.
On the way, Qin Ming chatted with Jun Yi, and he spoke first, "The three education committee members seem to be very happy today."
"Change is a good thing. The three education committee members have always been thinking about our college. They have made a lot of efforts to make changes in the college. Brother Xue's words today have given them great hope," Jun Yi replied.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "A large part of the reason for this is that our academy's performance has been too poor in recent years. If it weren't for the royal family using their connections to strengthen the academy, we probably wouldn't have had any chance of winning this exchange competition."
"Have you seen our college's second team before?" Qin Ming asked.
Jun Yi nodded. "I saw it."
"They were originally the Heaven Dou Team One from our academy. The most talented among them is 21 years old this year, with Soul Power Level of 27, while his Innate Soul Power is level 8."
"Ah?"
Jun Yi's surprise, Qin Ming explained with a smile, "Most of these people are descendants of royalty. Even if they have enough cultivation resources and talent, their affluent lives have made them lose their motivation."
"Even at the academy, teachers can't say anything because of their status. This creates a vicious cycle, with each graduating class getting worse than the last."
Qin Ming paused, then continued, "This is also why the three education committee members want to make changes. I hope our college can improve in the future."
Papal Palace Spirit City, one message after another from the Spirit Hall Branch of Heaven Dou City was delivered to Bibi Dong.
She was reading the letter in her hand, a hint of surprise on her face. "A defender defeated Soul Grandmaster with a single palm strike, a Soul Elder with a single Martial Soul, easily defeated Soul Ancestor without using a Martial Soul, fought seven opponents alone, and used a strange ability to throw them off the stage. Finally, because no one dared to challenge him, the match ended prematurely, and he won..."
Looking at Jun Yi's achievements this time, Bibi Dong couldn't help but marvel at Jun Yi's extraordinary talent. She had to admit that even though she also had Innate Full Soul Power and possessed Twin Martial Souls, she couldn't have been as strong as Jun Yi back then.
" Qian Renxue, you are truly lucky to have found such a promising talent for our Spirit Hall. We just hope you can act quickly and recruit him into the Spirit Hall."
