Douluo: The Fallen Garuda, Feathers Crossing the Mortal Realm

"How is this possible! The first ring in a thousand years!?"

A chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd, each sound filled with unbelievable shock.

Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at the dazzling purple light, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily as he murmured to himself.

"The first ring in a millennium? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it while on drugs, and someone actually managed to achieve it? Will my title as the number one genius on the continent fall before it even takes off?"

Xiao Hongchen mechanically patted his younger sister's shoulder, his voice ethereal: "Meng, pinch me, I think I'm hallucinating."

But his response wasn't a gentle pinch, but a powerful elbow strike.

Meng Hongchen didn't even turn her head; her long, wine-red hair swayed gently with the movement as she said with displeasure, "Xiao, you're disturbing me!"

Li Hu's pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze fixed on Fu Yu as if sparks were about to fly, his chest heaving violently.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he had to keep this boy, who possessed both the talent of a Soul Master and the unparalleled skill in Soul Guidance Devices, in the academy!

"Let's go! Let's go see the dean right now..." Li Hu grabbed Fu Yu's wrist, his surging soul power parting the crowd to create a gap. He then changed his mind, saying, "No, go directly to the dean! Waive all the exams, and enroll immediately!"

"Make way for me, everyone!"

As Li Hu spoke, he ignored the crowd at the registration desk; nothing was more important than Fu Yu at that moment.

As Li Hu and Fu Yu left swiftly, the registration area instantly erupted in excitement.

Meng Hongchen then seemed to awaken from a dream, her slender hand suddenly grabbing Xiao Hongchen's forearm:

"Xiao, hurry, they're going to find Grandpa, let's catch up!"

The two siblings unleashed their full soul power, their bodies surrounded by halos of different colors, as they raced after the vanishing figure.

On the campus of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In the technologically advanced campus, Li Hu was leading Fu Yu through a cluster of futuristic buildings.

The campus is dotted with soul-guided technology facilities that are decades ahead of the rest of the world, all of which demonstrate the profound heritage of Sun Moon Academy.

"Please wait a moment!"

Just then, a few short shouts made the two stop in their tracks and turn around to look back.

The pursuers were none other than Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, a brother and sister. Different colored soul power shimmered on their bodies, making it clear that their soul power was operating wildly, even manifesting on their skin.

Because the two stopped, they quickly caught up.

Fu Yu didn't show much expression towards the two of them, but Li Hu's eyes lit up.

As the grandsons of the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen practically grew up on campus, and no teacher would be unfamiliar with them.

"Laughing at the mortal world, dreaming of the mortal world, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen was panting heavily. Hearing Li Hu's question, he calmed his breathing and replied, "We were just in the crowd at the registration area."

Meng Hongchen was in much better condition than Xiao Hongchen. Her wine-red hair was not disheveled due to the strenuous exercise, her jade-like cheeks were flushed with a healthy glow, and her beautiful blue eyes looked at Fu Yu with curiosity.

Li Hu was even more excited upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's answer and quickly followed up, "Since you know the situation, I won't go into details. Do you know where the Dean is now?"

At this moment, Meng Hongchen spoke up, her voice clear and melodious: "Grandpa is most likely in the laboratory of Mingde Hall right now. He has been working on an eighth-level soul tool these days."

As Meng Hongchen spoke, she subtly observed Fu Yu, her fingertips unconsciously twirling a strand of hair.

"That's great! Now that we know where the dean is, things will be much easier." After saying that, Li Hu turned to Fu Yu and introduced them: "Let me introduce you. These two are the grandson and granddaughter of the dean of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. They will then take you to the dean's office."

"You two, are you alright?" Li Hu asked the Hongchen siblings.

"No problem, leave it to us!" Meng Hongchen said hurriedly.

They chased after him just to get to know Fu Yu, and Li Hu's request just happened to suit their needs.

Even Xiao Hongchen, who was still catching his breath, nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll leave Fu Yu in your care now. I'll go find the dean now."

After saying that, Li Hu took out a flying soul tool that looked like wings from his storage soul tool. Crimson soul power gushed out and carried Li Hu towards the tallest building in the academy.

As Fu Yu's gaze left Li Hu's rapidly flying figure, a fair and jade-like hand was already extended in front of Fu Yu.

Her clear voice was accompanied by a sweet smile; Meng Hongchen was completely different from how she was when she was with Xiao Hongchen.

"Hello, my name is Meng Hongchen."

Fu Yu smiled, extended her hand, and gently shook it, saying, "Hello, Fu Yu."

Xiao Hongchen suddenly squeezed between the two, his eyes shining brightly: "Brother Fu, tell me quickly, how exactly did you do that?"

Fu Yu raised his hand and pointed to the towering buildings in the distance.

"Aren't we still going to the dean's office? Why don't we talk on the way?"

-

Mingde Hall, the exclusive laboratory for the Mirror of the Mortal World.

A piercing emergency alarm suddenly rang out, startling Jing Hongchen, who was concentrating on inscribing the magic array.

One moment of insufficient force with the carving knife, and the magic array pattern was damaged on the spot.

With a gloomy expression, Jing Hongchen threw down the carving knife in his hand and opened the laboratory door that was locked from the inside.

Looking at Li Hu, who looked anxious outside, she said with suppressed anger, "Li Hu? Aren't you in charge of the junior department's admissions this year? What are you doing here?"

"If your answer doesn't satisfy me, don't even think about getting this year's fixed quota for rare metals."

Ignoring the threats mentioned by the dean, Li Hu recounted the whole story.

"Are you sure? That Fu Yu really doesn't know anything about inscribing magic arrays? Is this his first time doing it?"

Li Hu nodded frantically, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Of course, I'm a level seven Soul Master, after all. I can tell at a glance whether someone has systematically studied Soul Tools or not."

"This is definitely Fu Yu's first time. He even relied on his intuition to determine the order in which he made his cuts, but he didn't make a single mistake. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

As Li Hu spoke, he took out the metal block with the inscription on it and placed it in front of Jing Hongchen.

Without needing to observe closely, Jing Hongchen could tell at a glance that Li Hu was right.

A beginner with superb skills.

This is an evaluation from a level nine Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire.

Where is he now?

Li Hu quickly replied, "They were taken to your office by your grandchildren."

The next moment, a gust of wind swept through the laboratory, and Jing Hongchen's figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared in front of Li Hu.
