Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Upon hearing that Prince Xuexing had arrived, Leng Qishuang was quite puzzled. What was His Highness doing here? Could it be that the Empire had approved the allocation of funds?

"I understand, Your Highness. Please wait a moment."

The beautiful dean spoke, asking Prince Xuexing to wait a moment. She got up from Gu Shenge's embrace, tidied her appearance, looked at the man sitting in the executive chair, her lips slightly parted, her voice soft and gentle.

"I'm going to see Prince Xuexing now. Please wait here for a moment."

"I'll go with you."

Gu Shenge shook his head and stood up. Prince Xuexing must have come to Tianshui Academy for her sake. In order to avoid Leng Qishuang having to make an extra trip, he should go with her.

"Ah."

Seeing that he wanted to go together, the beautiful dean nodded slightly and walked out of the office with Gu Shenge.

Lan Qingyan, who hadn't left yet, saw Gu Shenge and Leng Qishuang walk out together. Her expression changed slightly, and her delicate nose twitched as she smelled the rose scent on Gu Shenge. A hint of astonishment appeared in her eyes. They actually dared to have sex in the office!

"Director Lan, where is Prince Xuexing now?"

Noticing the strange gaze from the mature female director, Leng Qishuang's beautiful face flushed slightly, and she quickly asked where Prince Lan Qingyan was.

Lan Qingyan gave her and Gu Shenge a deep look, then turned and led the way.

(Regarding the selection of candidates for the Tianshui Elite Class, does anyone have any suggestions?)

Chapter 52: Prince Haoyang obtains the treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

The college's reception room.

Prince Xuexing, dressed in magnificent robes, sat in a chair with two Soul Master guards standing behind him. He sipped his fragrant tea, glancing at the door every now and then, waiting for Gu Shenge's arrival.

A few minutes later, three figures entered the reception room. When Prince Xuexing saw Gu Shenge next to Leng Qishuang, his aged face lit up with joy, and he quickly got up to greet them.

"Greetings, Prince Xuexing."

When the beautiful dean saw Prince Xue Xing approaching, she bowed slightly. Although Xue Xing's soul power cultivation was weak, he was a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire with a noble status. Even though she was a Soul Douluo, she could not be too rude.

Prince Xuexing smiled and nodded in response, then looked at Gu Shenge as if he was expecting something.

"uncle."

Seeing his expectant look, Gu Shenge felt quite helpless and could only call him "Uncle" in a cold voice. Although he didn't have much affection for the Tiandou royal family, he still had to call Prince Xuexing "Uncle" in terms of blood relations. This was a matter of basic manners.

Upon hearing the word "uncle," Prince Xuexing's smile widened. The two beautiful women beside him, Leng Qishuang and Lan Qingyan, looked at Gu Shenge with surprise and astonishment. What was going on?

"Qingfeng, your uncle has come here because your father asked me to give you something to congratulate you on breaking through to the Title Douluo level."

Prince Xuexing then took out an exquisite and luxurious box from his storage soul tool.

Upon hearing the word "Father Emperor," Leng Qishuang and Lan Qingyan roughly guessed what it meant, and their surprise deepened. They hadn't expected that he would hide this identity.

"This is?"

Looking at the exquisite box, Gu Shenge keenly sensed a vast and gentle energy emanating from it, like the ocean. Could it be the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?!

Emperor Xueye actually had Prince Xuexing bring this national treasure to him as a gift!

As soon as Xuexing opened the box, the entire reception room was enveloped in a strong, precious light.

Inside the box was a blue triangular object, crystal clear, no bigger than the palm of your hand. It appeared to be carved from a sapphire, with a shimmering blue light flowing around it, surrounded by a vast, mysterious energy fluctuation, like the ocean itself.

The surface of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was rippled with water-like patterns, lifelike, and wave after wave of blue light rippled outwards, illuminating the entire reception room with a faint, precious glow.

Next to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is a Golden Soul Card.

Both Leng Qishuang and Lan Qingyan were deeply attracted by the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, their beautiful eyes shrouded in a layer of crystal blue light, making them exceptionally beautiful.

'As expected of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover! My cheapskate father really went all out to give me this!'

Looking at the extraordinary and radiant Vast Ocean Universe Cover in the box, Gu Shenge thought to himself, "If they even bestowed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover upon him, shouldn't they make him a prince or something next?"

As expected, Prince Xuexing held the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in both hands and spoke loudly.

"The First Prince, Xue Qingfeng, is exceptionally talented and virtuous. He is hereby granted the title of Prince Haoyang. Within the Tiandou territory, he will be three ranks higher than any official. He is also bestowed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, one million gold soul coins, and Lanjiang City and the surrounding hundred miles as his territory!"

Offering treasures, money, and territory, Gu Shenge's eyes subtly changed, but he did not refuse. He reached out and took the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from Prince Xuexing's hand, his voice gentle, and bowed slightly.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Why not take such a good thing? Are you going to leave it for that bastard Tang San?

Seeing that Gu Shenge accepted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, Prince Xuexing was also overjoyed, saying, "It's good that you accepted it, it's good that you accepted it."

"Prince Haoyang, if you have some free time, don't forget to go back to Tiandou City to see His Majesty. He misses you very much."

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover had been delivered, and Prince Xuexing did not linger. He spoke a few more words of advice to Gu Shenge, hoping that he could forgive Emperor Xueye. What happened back then was their oversight, but when they learned of his existence, Emperor Xueye was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He still cared about his son.

Emperor Xue Ye always felt indebted to his eldest son, Xue Qingfeng (Gu Shengge). If it weren't for that accident back then, the current crown prince would not be Xue Qinghe, but him.

However, Emperor Xueye could not simply give Xue Qinghe the title of Crown Prince to compensate Gu Shenge, so he thought of bestowing upon him the title of Prince and granting him the national treasure and Lanjiang City, the southern water capital, as his territory.

Firstly, he wanted to make amends to Gu Shenge.

Secondly, he hoped that if the empire encountered a crisis in the future, he could lend a helping hand, protect the Tiandou royal family from destruction, turn the tide, and save the collapsing empire.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shenge nodded. He would go to Tiandou City, but not now.

As a junior, even though he was not close to Prince Xuexing, the other party was still his uncle. Gu Shenge personally saw Prince Xuexing off from Tianshui Academy and watched him get into the carriage and leave.

Leng Qishuang and Lan Qingyan followed behind Gu Shenge, both looking at him with astonishment. The First Prince of Tiandou? Prince Haoyang! No, they had to sort this out.

However, Lan Qingyan didn't have time to care about Gu Shengge's identity right now; she had other things to deal with.

Before leaving, she glared at the beautiful dean with a resentful look. It was all her doing; representatives of those powerful families who wanted to send their juniors into the elite class came to her one by one, making it impossible for her to deal with them all.

Leng Qishuang felt her best friend's resentful gaze and subconsciously chose to avoid it, revealing an embarrassed expression.

"Here, take this one million gold soul coins as the academy's funds."

Gu Shenge carefully put away the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and handed the Gold Soul Card containing one million Gold Soul Coins to Leng Qishuang, asking her to use it as academy funds.

The beautiful dean didn't stand on ceremony with him, took the money, and the two went back to the office together.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Although the admission requirements for the elite class of Tianshui Academy are extremely strict, not only must one's innate soul power reach level seven or above, but one must also be under sixteen years old with a soul power level of thirty-five, or twelve years old with a soul power level of twenty-five or above. Moreover, one must be female and beautiful.

Despite this, many female soul masters still came to enroll, and even some students from other academies chose to drop out and transfer to Tianshui Academy.

Among them is Ye Lingling, a genius girl from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Having reached level 35 at just fifteen years old, she is undoubtedly the pride of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Upon learning that Haoyang Douluo was at Tianshui Academy, she did not hesitate at all and chose to drop out of school to go to Tianshui Academy with her mother, Ye Yuci.

There's also the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Originally wanting to run away from home, she changed her mind and begged her father to send her to Tianshui Academy. Gu Shenge's strong performance at the investiture ceremony deeply captivated this little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Soto, Rose Hotel.

Having just arrived in Soto City and fought with Dai Mubai, Tang San, who had just secured a room, suddenly looked up. He gazed in the direction of Tianshui Academy, feeling as if something extremely important had left him, no longer belonging to him. This made Tang San incredibly frustrated and uncomfortable.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Beside Tang San, a young girl with a bewitching appearance and wearing a dark green dress noticed that he seemed a bit lost and asked him what was wrong. He shook his head and said that he was fine.

"I'm fine, Spider."

(The candidates for the elite class, hehehe, guess who they are?)

Chapter 53: Sneaking a bite behind Bibi Dong's back~

director's office.

The office was painted in ocean blue, with shimmering water, making it feel like you were in the ocean.

Gu Shenge sat in the executive chair, holding the mature and voluptuous dean in his arms, smelling the rose fragrance emanating from her body. With one hand, he gently stroked Leng Qishuang's full and proud body, while with the other hand, he played with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, studying this divine artifact.

Leng Qishuang leaned against Gu Shenge's chest, enjoying his caresses. Her beautiful eyes looked at the blue triangle that shone with a hazy, precious light, as if it were carved from a sapphire. She showed a curious expression. Although she did not know what it was, she could feel the powerful energy it exuded. It was definitely not an ordinary artifact.

With her fingertips moving the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, Gu Shenge recalled that in the original novel, Tang San had a blood oath to recognize his master, thus activating the divine will of the Sea God within.

He wasn't particularly interested in the Sea God's throne, but since it had come into his possession, it meant that the Sea God's throne was destined for him.

If the sky is not taken, the blame is on the contrary.

Gu Shenge pressed his finger down slightly, and the tip of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover broke through his fingertip and pierced his flesh. Blood flowed out and was continuously absorbed by this divine artifact. The original blue aura gradually turned into an eerie red.

After a while, a wisp of blue light drifted out from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, condensing into a faint phantom. When the phantom saw Gu Shenge, it suddenly smiled, slowly spoke, its voice filled with surprise and a hint of emotion, and said something that seemed completely inexplicable.

"After all these years, He has finally waited for it."

After he finished speaking, a flash of blue light appeared, and the phantom returned to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The red light that was originally stained by blood gradually subsided and turned back into a clear blue, with only a trace of eerie red light at the core.

"Ok?"

Gu Shenge frowned. What did she mean by "waiting for"? And who was He? The Sea God? Was she waiting for His successor?

Filled with doubt, he injected a wisp of soul power into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Instantly, the triangular shape shone with a bright blue light, as if it had come to life. A misty, precious light flowed around it, and blue water rippled outwards, creating an incredibly mystical effect. Strange patterns appeared on its surface, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover showed a thirst for soul power.

Seeing this, Gu Shenge increased the output of her soul power, letting it absorb as much as it wanted. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover also emitted an even more dazzling blue light, illuminating the office. Leng Qishuang turned her head away, unable to look directly at the brilliant blue light.

The azure triangular object gradually floated up and began to rotate uncontrollably in front of Gu Shenge. At the same time, a beam of blue light shot into his brow, and various information about the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was transmitted to his brain through his mental power.

The scenery before Gu Shenge's eyes also changed. Her soul and consciousness were immersed in a wondrous world: an endless expanse of blue sea and sky, with surging waves beneath her feet and a vast, boundless ocean stretching to the horizon. Above her was a clear, cloudless blue sky.

Being in this world made him feel that his thoughts had become incredibly pure, all his desires had been purified, and he felt completely enlightened.

But in Leng Qishuang's eyes, it was a completely different story.

In her eyes, after Gu Shenge was hit by the blue light of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, his whole body was enveloped in a dazzling azure light, and he gradually floated up from the executive chair. Leng Qishuang also fell off him, and her plump buttocks made intimate contact with the ground.

The headmistress paid no attention to the pain in her buttocks, staring intently at the handsome man who seemed to float in mid-air like a god, while keeping watch on her surroundings to protect him.

Gu Shenge raised his left hand slightly, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover floated into his palm. With each rotation, the blue light on his body became more intense, and the light behind him was the brightest, where his only soul bone was located. Layer upon layer of blue light spread out, rendering everything around him a deep blue.

After a long while, as the blue light receded, Gu Shenge slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, the blue light swirled and flowed, its radiance crystal clear, as if it were an extension of his body.

When Leng Qishuang, who was protecting him, saw that he had woken up, she immediately asked him with concern.
