Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 158 The Five Great Academies Arrive

Two weeks later, crowds gathered in front of the main gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The three education commissioners personally came out to greet him, while Qin Ming lagged behind by half a step.

Then came the Heavenly Dou Team One and Heavenly Dou Team Two, led by Lin Yang.

Inside the group, Xiao Wu whispered in Lin Yang's ear, "It's just a few academies, why make such a big fuss?"

Lin Yang's lips curled into a smile: "It's not that simple."

If it were just a group of students and teachers, then naturally there would be no need for all three education commissioners to appear at the same time.

But the fact that the deans of the five academies all gathered together this time carries a different significance.

At least on the surface, the five colleges do indeed attach great importance to this exchange.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, of course, could not afford to be arrogant.

"They're here!"

With a whisper from Meng Shenji, five teams appeared in the distance on the official road.

The five colleges are easy to distinguish; you can guess them pretty accurately just by looking at the colors of their clothes.

Leading the way was Thunder Academy, whose uniforms were dark purple with lightning bolt patterns embroidered on the lapels.

Next is the Blazing Fire Academy, whose uniforms are all crimson, resembling a moving flame.

Next was the Divine Wind Academy, where the students wore flowing blue academy uniforms.

Standing at the front of the group was a tall, slender, silver-haired youth, Feng Xiaotian, the undisputed number one student of Shenfeng Academy.

As the Tianshui Academy approached, a series of low gasps immediately rose from the surrounding area.

The reason is that the entire Tianshui Academy is filled with stunningly beautiful women, whose elegant and ethereal beauty is accentuated by their light blue academy uniforms.

Many students were completely captivated by them.

Lin Yang, however, kept his eyes straight ahead.

He felt that if he dared to look, three little hands would instantly appear on his body.

Finally, the Elephant Armor Academy brought up the rear. Each member was burly and imposing, exuding an aura of oppression as they walked.

Even the shortest one looks to be over two meters tall.

It's such a waste that they don't work on construction sites carrying bricks.

The teams from the five colleges stopped in turn.

A lean, middle-aged man with fiery red hair was the first to alight from the carriage of the Blazing Academy.

He wore a crimson robe that revealed his bronze skin.

Upon seeing the three education commissioners, he burst into hearty laughter: "Brother Meng, Brother Bai, Brother Zhilin, it's been many years! How have you all been?"

Meng Shenji chuckled, "You tyrannosaurus, your temper has improved quite a bit over the years."

"It's been a long time, three education commissioners."

The speaker was a middle-aged man who came from Thunder Academy, with faint crackling lightning around him.

Then the other deans appeared one by one and exchanged pleasantries with the three education commissioners.

Qin Ming stepped back and stood beside Lin Yang, introducing him in a low voice, "Dean Huo Chong of the Blazing Fire Academy, his martial soul is the One-Horned Fiery Dragon."

"Thunder Dean Lei Jinghong is a collateral descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and his martial soul is the Purple Lightning Thorn Dragon. Although it is not as good as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is still a top-tier martial soul."

"Dean Feng Cang, the Divine Wind Academy, possesses the Martial Soul of the Azure Eagle."

"Tianshui Dean Shui Bingyue, the only woman among the five deans."

But don't underestimate her. Tianshui Academy is one of the top academies among the five major academies, and she deserves most of the credit for that.

Lin Yang's gaze fell on the beautiful woman. Although she was wearing a veil and her face was not visible, her temperament was undeniable.

Unaware of Lin Yang's gaze, Qin Ming's eyes fell on a middle-aged man with an exaggeratedly burly build. His tone was somewhat solemn as he said, "Hu Yanzhen, Dean of Elephant Armor Academy, and also the Sect Master of Elephant Armor Sect, with the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul."

His strength is extremely formidable; it is said that even a Title Douluo cannot break through his defenses in a short period of time.

Hu Yanzhen slowly walked forward, each step steady and powerful, his voice deep and resonant: "Three education commissioners, it's been a long time!"

Meng Shenji smiled and said, "It is said that Sect Master Huyan has been focusing on cultivation and trying to break through to the title level. I didn't expect him to personally lead the team here this time."

Hu Yanzhen's expression remained unchanged as he calmly stated, "Exchange and learning are certainly important. Moreover," he glanced over the three education committee members, landing briefly on Lin Yang and the others behind them before looking away.

"I heard that Tiandou Academy has produced some extraordinary geniuses, so naturally I had to come and see for myself."

Let our sons know what it means to be outmatched and capable.

These words were blunt, even carrying a hint of undisguised sharpness.

Meng Shenji seemed oblivious to the deeper meaning, maintaining his faint smile, "I will certainly not disappoint Sect Master Huyan. Everyone, please!"

Led by the three education commissioners, the people from the five colleges filed in.

As they passed by Lin Yang and his group, they attracted various glances from the teams of the five major academies.

Curious, scrutinizing, eager, and with a few subtle hostile undertones.

"Sis, look, isn't that Lin Yang? He's so handsome, it's a pity he's already taken."

Shui Bing'er hissed in a low voice, "Hurry up and leave, don't embarrass yourself!"

As Feng Xiaotian passed by Lin Yang, a voice transmission came through.

"Lin Yang, right? I'm really looking forward to fighting you."

Lin Yang remained unfazed: "I'm available anytime!"

The welcome ceremony for the exchange delegations from the five colleges was held in the auditorium.

The three education commissioners delivered speeches in turn, and the deans of the five colleges also spoke, making sure their remarks were impeccable.

It's nothing more than learning from each other and making progress together; as for what each of them is thinking, only they themselves know.

After the welcoming ceremony, students from the five colleges were assigned to a special accommodation area with designated staff.

The following week will be dedicated to observation and learning.

Although it's called an observation tour, it's really just to let them get familiar with the college environment and give both sides a buffer period.

This work is led by a dedicated teacher, so Lin Yang and the others don't need to worry about it.

However, to Lin Yang's surprise, the people from the five academies were even more anxious than he was.

The next day, as soon as Lin Yang appeared in the academy, a figure blocked his way.

Feng Xiaotian wore a light blue robe, his short hair slightly disheveled by the wind, but his eyes were filled with arrogance and fighting spirit.

"Lin Yang, I am Feng Xiaotian."

Lin Yang nodded slightly: "I know. The genius students of Shenfeng Academy are said to be rarely matched among their peers."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's smile deepened.

"Pshaw...that's all just hearsay. At least for now, I'm definitely no match for you."

He spoke with utmost candor, but the fighting spirit in his eyes grew ever stronger, and his tone began to become serious.

"I came here today to see just how strong the person who led Heaven Dou to victory in the last Martial Soul Tournament really is now."

"Lin Yang, do you dare accept my challenge?"

Lin Yang shrugged, looking helpless: "You've put it this way, if I don't accept, wouldn't I be making a laughing stock of the academy?"

"Let's go to the training ground; it's bigger there."

Feng Xiaotian's smile deepened, and he laughed loudly, "Good!"

The news of Feng Xiaotian challenging Lin Yang quickly spread throughout the entire academy.

Upon hearing this news, all the students from the five academies headed to the first training ground.

They all wanted to see just how strong Lin Yang had become.

"Brother, how many moves do you think Feng Xiaotian can last?"

Huo Wu stood in the stands with a solemn expression.

Indeed, Feng Xiaotian, who is considered a genius by others, is not being discussed about "whether he can win" at this moment, but rather "how many moves he can withstand" in front of Lin Yang.

As the core of the Blazing Fire team, she understands even more the meaning behind the name "Lin Yang".

He already had a cultivation level of 48 in the previous generation, and even went against the Spirit Hall's Soul King.

To put it bluntly, even if he were facing Lin Yang three years ago, Feng Xiaotian would have to kneel down.

Let alone three years from now.
