Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 13: Code within Code

Meng Shenji walked with his family of three on the campus, and along the way he briefly introduced the scenery along the way to Tong Rui and his group.

"The college's main campus is halfway up the mountain, and the mimic areas are scattered all over the mountain and down the mountain, including by the lake."

Tong Qingtian asked: "Chairman Meng, how many students are there in Tiandou Royal Academy now?"

Meng Shenji said: "There are about five hundred students, basically all of them are children of nobles from the empire and its affiliated kingdoms. There are more than fifty teachers, which is enough in terms of teaching staff. However, in terms of talent alone, I am afraid that there is no one in this academy who can be as good as your son." Having said that, he shook his head helplessly.

We were all soul masters, so the mountain road was nothing. Soon they were halfway up the mountain.

The main campus of Tiandou Royal Academy is entirely made of bungalows. It feels like a fortress. The outer courtyard wall is five meters high and is bright yellow. It looks extremely beautiful. Even the top of the courtyard wall is Covered with glazed tiles, it is particularly dazzling under the setting sun.

This was Tong Rui's first time in Douluo Continent. Seeing such gorgeous decorations, he couldn't help but look around.

Meng Shenji saw Tong Rui's expression and nodded secretly. Although the student's strength was not very good, as long as he could keep this little genius, there would be hope for the next Soul Master Competition.

Thinking of the other geniuses who have already enrolled, this is the most promising year for Tiandou Royal Academy. This is the year to restore the glory of Tiandou.

After entering the academy, I didn't see many students. According to Meng Shenji, most of the students were practicing in various simulated areas, and there were not many people in the main campus.

After showing everyone around the main campus, he arranged for the three of them to rest in the reception room.

"What do you think of this place?" Tong Qingtian asked Tong Rui.

Tong Rui smiled and said, "Very good, better than I imagined. I just don't know how many books there are here."

Meng Shenji said: "The collection of books in our Tiandou Royal Academy includes most of the books that the Tiandou Empire can collect. Except for some secret collections of the royal family, we cover almost all aspects of information."

Tong Rui immediately perked up and asked, "Can I read the books here at will?"

Meng Shenji looked at Tong Rui, thought for a moment, and quickly replied: "Of course, as long as you join the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy, then I personally promise to open my collection of books to you, even the precious books."

For Meng Shenji, a soul master's energy is limited, and reading a book is not enough to remember it. Even if he stays in the academy for 6 years and graduates after the next soul master competition, he will not be able to read many books during this period.

For Tong Rui, reading is not a problem at all because he has the help of his proficiency. It is enough as long as he can find the knowledge he wants.

After friendly negotiations, Tong Rui officially joined the Tiandou Royal High-level Soul Master Academy. After parting with his parents, he came to the dormitory arranged by the academy under the guidance of Meng Shenji.

The dormitory is located in a courtyard on the west side of the main campus of Tiandou Royal College. It has been cleaned up, and everyone has a separate room, as well as a separate reception room. All daily necessities are brand new, and the whole courtyard is like a separate existence.

You can see the mountain view outside the yard, and you can also see the lake below. There is a separate road from here that leads directly to the foot of the mountain, and it is also convenient to go to Tiandou City.

This courtyard is not big, with only four separate rooms, and the other three rooms are occupied. Maybe they went to the mimicry training ground to practice, so they didn't come back.

After seeing Tong Rui settled down, Meng Shenji took out a token and handed it to Tong Rui, saying: "You can report to the Tiandou class tomorrow. With this token, you can go to the library to borrow books at will."

Seeing that Tong Rui had no problem, Meng Shenji left. Tong Rui was flipping through the school's brochure.

Currently, there are 502 students in Tiandou Royal Academy, divided into three classes. Those with soul power between level and are Tianwei level, those between level and are Tianzhi level, and those above level are the highest Tiandou level.

The teachers’ grading is similar: forty to fifty is Tianwei, fifty to sixty is Tianzhi, and above sixty is Tiandou.

Now the entire college is divided into fifteen classes, each with about forty students. Among them, there is only one Tiandou class, four Tianzhi classes, and the rest are Tianwei classes, a total of ten.

That is to say, in the entire Royal Academy, the number of students above level 30 in the academy is less than one tenth of the total number. Tong Rui didn't care, after all, he didn't come here for these mediocre people. What he needed to do was to hook up with Dugu Yan and obtain the medicinal materials for the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Tong Rui stood up and walked out of the courtyard, intending to go to the mimicry training field to experience it. Although he could speed up his training by communicating with the stars at night, what if the mimicry field could also speed up his training?

As a result, he was told that there was no simulated venue that simulated the starry sky. As a second choice, Tong Rui chose a simulated venue in the dark night.

Although the results were indeed more effective than usual, Tong Rui could clearly feel that this was only because the concentration of soul power was sufficient. Changing the venue would have the same effect.

So after just trying it out, Tong Rui planned to go back to the dormitory.

"Stop, who are you?" Ten spirit masters, about 18 or 19 years old, blocked the way of the group. Although they did not summon their own spirits, it could be seen from their light yellow school uniforms that these students belonged to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Tong Rui felt that it was fun, so he said pitifully: "I am a new student who just enrolled today."

The leader of the other side looked Tong Rui up and down, saw his ordinary clothes, and said with a trace of disdain on his face: "Huh? Who are you kidding, kid? The registration time for the new semester has long passed. I think you are a beggar who sneaked in from somewhere. Get out of here quickly. Otherwise, we will have to use force."

After all, Tong Rui had been traveling all day, and the best clothes could be bought in the small town near the Star Dou Great Forest, all of which were made of high-grade soul beast skins. He was not attending any banquet, and Tong Rui did not think about dressing well for a simple school entrance.

The leading student obviously judged people by their appearance, and Tong Rui's humble appearance made the young man think that he had no ability, which made the young man even more angry.

"Can I ask what your name is?" Tong Rui asked in a soft voice.

"Huh? What? You still want to take revenge on me? Remember, my name is Mihoyo, I'm the boss of Tianwei Class 2 and the son of the Grand Duke of the Barak Kingdom." The leading student said arrogantly.

"Wow, so awesome! He's the boss of Tianwei Class 2!" Tong Rui said sarcastically after learning about his identity.

"Forget it. I just came to school and I don't want to cause any trouble. I'll just teach you a lesson. MiHoYo, tsk, why does this name make me feel so uncomfortable? Remember, I'm Tong Rui from the Tiandou class. If you want to take revenge on me, just come on."

As he spoke, he took out a dagger and activated his first soul skill, Star Chain, which made Mihoyu unable to move. He walked up to him and stabbed Mihoyu's thigh cleanly.

When the students nearby saw this, they were so frightened that they ran away scrambling.

“Don’t worry, my second soul skill is Star and Moon Wishing.” Seeing Mihoyo screaming in pain, as Tong Rui activated his second soul skill, Mihoyo’s injuries improved rapidly.

Just when miHoYo thought that he was afraid of his identity and was about to mock him, Tong Rui retracted the dagger, took out three silver needles, and stabbed them into his Tanzhong, Jianjing, and Huantiao acupoints to guide the soul power to stay.

"You will be able to move in about half an hour. Stay away from me next time you see me." After the treatment, he took back the silver needle and left.

Soon, a teacher arrived with the students, and seeing that MiHoYo was motionless, they quickly checked his breathing, but found no wounds on his body.

I quickly asked, "MiHoYo, are you okay?"

MiHoYo was stunned but couldn't say a word. He stared at the teacher with wide eyes.

The teacher couldn't find any symptoms, so he could only ask the rest of the students to look after him while he went to the infirmary to find the teacher.

Just like that, at the time when everyone was going back to the dormitory, people passing by looked at miHoYo lying on the ground in surprise.

Others were too embarrassed to accept the attention and could only hide aside and watch him lying in the middle of the road.

Tong Rui had no idea what happened next, as he had already returned to the dormitory.
