Douluo: The Fallen Garuda, Feathers Crossing the Mortal Realm

Arriving at the entrance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Fu Yu's gaze swept over the bustling enrollment registration point.

Even though it was the last few days before enrollment, there were still many parents from all over the provinces of the Sun Moon Empire at the enrollment point at the main gate.

Fu Yu walked to the end of the line and started queuing.

After about half an hour, we finally arrived at a registration area that looked like a student host's booth.

"Hello, could you please help me register?"

As Fu Yu spoke, he took the recommendation token out of his storage soul tool and placed it on the table.

However, the student registering seemed a bit tired, looking down at the registration book and not really noticing Fu Yu's actions.

"Name, place of origin?" The student yawned and turned to a new page.

"Fu Yu comes from the Heavenly Soul Empire."

The moment the words "Fu Yu Tian Hun Empire" were uttered, not only did the drowsy students registering for the exam wake up, but the attention of the parents and students who hadn't left was also drawn.

It's quite a strange thing that someone from the Heavenly Soul Empire would come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire to enroll.

Although the academy's announcement welcomed talented Soul Masters from other empires to apply, very few actually showed up.

At this moment, a parent nearby said disdainfully.

"Don't the people from the original three kingdoms of the continent believe that martial spirits are the most important thing in the world? Why would they come to our Sun Moon Empire to learn about soul tools?"

"They're not here to steal my skills, are they?"

Another parent nearby echoed this sentiment.

"Haha, that's hard to say. I've been to the Heavenly Soul Empire once, and it's just like it was thousands of years ago. They haven't made any progress at all in all these years."

The two's conversation made the surrounding parents laugh.

However, this was just a discussion among the parents, while the students who came to register didn't seem to have so much malice.

A child, about six or seven years old, looked at Fu Yu with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I wonder how high the soul power of these people from the Heavenly Soul Empire is? Everyone says that the Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy are far superior to us in terms of soul masters, but I just don't believe it."

His words drew rebuttals from his peers.

"Hehe, this is the registration office for the junior division of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so it must be about the same size as us."

"But look at his physique, it's obvious that his size increase is due to absorbing the first spirit ring."

But as soon as he said that, he was immediately retorted by the child who had just spoken.

"How is this possible? He obtained his first spirit ring at just over six years old? Does that mean he's a level nine innate spirit master or has full innate spirit power? Why isn't such a genius studying in the Heavenly Soul Empire? He's clearly just naturally fast-growing! I don't believe he's already a spirit master!"

"What if he's a Soul Master? Want to make a bet?"

"Alright, let's bet! If he's a Soul Master, I'll... I'll eat this whole thing right here and now!"

Fu Yu listened to the noisy discussions around him, some malicious and some teasing, but his face remained expressionless.

Fu Yu had anticipated this reaction from the Sun Moon Empire, given that the two countries had been rivals for thousands of years, fighting on and off.

Even though there has been no war between the two sides for nearly a century and their attitudes have eased somewhat, there is still no shortage of malice and hostility among the civilian population.

"Hello, may I register now?"

Fu Yu's voice again brought the somewhat stunned registration student back to reality. He then saw the recommendation token on the table and stammered.

"Well, I can't make a decision about your situation. I need to go see the teacher. Please wait a moment."

Although the admissions office is mainly run by senior students, there will still be teachers present to help in case of emergencies that students cannot handle.

Seeing Fu Yu nod in agreement, the registered student quickly ran to the nearby duty station and found the teacher on duty.

After the student explained the situation, the teacher on duty quickly arrived at the admissions office.

He picked up the token from the table, looked it over repeatedly, and nodded.

"Hello, I am Li Hu, the teacher on duty at the admissions office."

While speaking to Fu Yu, Li Hu also secretly used his Soul Saint strength to investigate, and the feedback made him nod in approval.

With exceptional talent, Li Hu would definitely keep Fu Yu if the conditions were right.

As instructors at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and senior soul masters of the empire, they were not as hostile to the soul masters of the Three Kingdoms as the common people were.

Or rather, they actually welcome Soul Masters who genuinely come to learn, since, no matter how you look at it, the average quality of Martial Souls from the original three continents is superior to that of the Sun Moon Empire.

As more and more talented Soul Masters come to learn, some will always stay.

Even if they don't stay, their positive impression of the Sun Moon Empire will have many benefits.

In a broader sense, it could even divide the Soul Master culture circle dominated by Shrek Academy. If conflicts arise again in the future, it will not create a scene like it was thousands of years ago, where Shrek Academy could rally hundreds of people and hundreds of Title Douluos gathered on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, their ideas were completely different from the royal family's policies. Soul tools were the foundation of the empire, and they were unwilling to let the soul masters of the three kingdoms learn them.

However, since the Sun Moon Empire was the defeated party, in order to integrate into the culture of the original Douluo Continent and promote cultural exchange between the two sides, the royal family had to loosen some restrictions, allowing Soul Masters from the Three Kingdoms to have the opportunity to enter the Sun Moon Empire to study.

Similarly, Shrek Academy, in order to demonstrate its tolerance, also has similar regulations that allow Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire to travel there to learn Soul Master skills.

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy and the original continent's Soul Master circle held themselves in high esteem, and the conditions for studying at Shrek Academy were difficult, resulting in very weak exchanges between the two sides. Over thousands of years, there have been very few examples.

At this moment, Li Hu, the teacher on duty, looked at Fu Yu with some anticipation and said.

"The referral token is fine. According to the regulations, you can indeed come to our academy to study soul tools."

"But before that, I still need to ask you, do you have any basic knowledge of Soul Mastery? It doesn't need to be too advanced, just the basics are fine."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yu frowned slightly, clearly not expecting this question.

Even Ning Qingyun didn't mention this matter.

Although this condition was not on the Sun Moon Empire's admission requirements, it was a well-known unspoken rule. Ning Qingyun assumed that Fu Yu should understand this, so he didn't say anything more.

"Do I still need to learn the basics of Soul Master? But isn't that why I came here to learn how to become a Soul Master?"

Upon hearing this, the parents and children who had registered nearby burst into laughter, while Li Hu could only manage a wry smile and a sense of helplessness.

The adults around them continued to mock them loudly.

"You've enrolled in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy without even learning the basics? You might as well just enroll in any junior academy; they don't require any foundation there, and the teachers will start from the basics."
