Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 58 Distinguished Guests of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy (Please continue reading)

"Greetings, senior. I am Su Cheng. I do indeed have this idea now." Su Cheng nodded. "I've heard that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has the best cultivation environment in the empire."

"Then you've certainly chosen the right place." The man nodded, a hint of arrogance inadvertently appearing on his face. "I am Sun Buyu, a teacher at the academy. Come with me to meet some of the academy's teaching committee members. We'll talk as we walk."

It's impossible for ordinary people to receive such treatment. Let alone directly meeting with the academy's higher-ups, the difficulty of even getting admitted is extremely high. But the standards for geniuses are naturally different.

Seeing this, Su Cheng also withdrew his martial spirit and followed Sun Buyu towards the academy in the mountains.

After they left, the students who had been guarding the academy gate chatted for a few words and then left the place with excitement on their faces.

Clearly, what they witnessed today was big news for them, and they were preparing to share it with their friends.

Su Cheng and Sun Buyu were unaware of what was happening behind them; at that moment, the two were walking on the mountain path.

However, he didn't see many students along the way.

According to Sun Buyu, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy actually has quite a few students, over five hundred. However, the academy is vast and possesses various simulated training grounds for Soul Masters of different attributes. Most students are distributed across different simulated training areas, leaving the main campus relatively deserted.

The so-called simulated training ground refers to the environment in which a Soul Master can cultivate their Martial Soul. While this may not be the most efficient method, it can certainly provide excellent support.

When you divide it up like this, you naturally won't see many people.

"We're now in the main campus of the academy. The simulated areas are scattered throughout the mountains and valleys, and there are also some by the lake. The academy has more than fifty teachers, so the faculty is extremely comprehensive."

On the way, Sun Buyu not only explained the various advantages of the academy to Su Cheng, but also asked him about his situation.

"Su Cheng, you appear to be only twelve or thirteen years old, yet you already possess the cultivation level of a Soul Master. I suppose your Martial Soul is at the Innate Full Soul Power level? May I ask which family you belong to? Are there no elders in your family with you?"

Soul Masters develop relatively quickly, and with Su Cheng's cultivation increasing rapidly in the past two years, he looks almost the same as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy if you only look at his appearance.

Sun Buyu also roughly judged his age based on his cultivation level and his own experience.

"I don't have a family. I'm an orphan who was adopted and raised in a remote mountain village. My adoptive father has passed away long ago. I'm not very clear about the level of my innate spirit power. I heard from the people in the Spirit Branch Hall that there was a mistake when they tested my spirit power, and the test results were inaccurate."

"I see. So your martial soul has likely mutated." Sun Buyu nodded, looking thoughtful.

However, all objects are prone to problems, and unexpected things have happened before during the innate soul power test.

In particular, errors are more likely to occur when judging mutated martial souls.

"So what's the deal with your second spirit ring?" Sun Buyu finally asked the question he was most curious about and concerned about.

"My second spirit ring..." Su Cheng had already prepared for this question, and a hint of lingering fear appeared on his face at just the right moment.

"When I was level 20, I hunted soul beasts alone, without anyone guiding me. After risking my life to kill a Nether Wolf that was just over a thousand years old, I intuitively felt that I could absorb the energy, so I tried it. At that time, I felt like I was going to be burst by the energy, but fortunately, I managed to survive in the end."

In fact, what he killed was not a Netherworld Wolf at all, but a Blue-and-White Armored Lizard with extreme metal attributes and a cultivation level of nearly two thousand years.

"You really are audacious." Sun Buyu gasped upon hearing this.

Su Cheng wasn't the first person to absorb a spirit ring across time limits; others had succeeded in the past, but he had never heard of a second spirit ring being at the thousand-year level.

Not to mention that this was done without any guidance; the fact that he didn't die can only be described as a stroke of luck.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the central area of ​​the academy's main campus, where Sun Buyu led Su Cheng to a reception room.

"Su Cheng, we have distinguished guests visiting the academy today. Please wait here for a moment while I go and inform the education committee members. You can also meet the two distinguished guests as well. With your talent, you'll likely have to interact with them quite often in the future."

"Distinguished guest?" Su Cheng was slightly taken aback.

There aren't many people who can be called "distinguished guests" by the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Is he a member of the royal family? Or is he simply Xue Qinghe disguised as Qian Renxue?

He remembered that several members of the college's education committee were from Xue Qinghe's faction.

Of course, it could also be Prince Xue Xing's group. The fourth prince Xue Beng, whom he had previously considered contacting, seems to be a student at the Tian Dou Royal Academy.

However, there's no point in speculating now; we'll find out soon enough.

Sun Buyu returned soon enough that Su Cheng hadn't had to wait long.

"Su Cheng, several members of the education committee have heard about your situation and want to meet you. Come with me first. Perform well later, and you might have a chance to be selected for the Heaven Dou Royal Team."

After saying that, he led him to the Education Committee office next door.

As the power center of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the interior is very simply furnished, with only essential decorations and some simple green plants.

Upon entering the house, the first thing Su Cheng saw was three elderly people sitting in the main seat in the center.

The three men did not look serious, and their gazes toward Su Cheng were quite gentle. However, just by sitting there, they seemed to be the core of the place, possessing an aura of strength that was hard to conceal.

They were all wearing long black robes embroidered with strange patterns in gold thread. Su Cheng knew that these were custom-made formal attire for Soul Masters of level 80 and above, second only to the red formal attire of Title Douluo.

Generally speaking, this kind of formal attire is rarely worn by Soul Douluos and Title Douluos. It represents not only status but also solemnity. This custom-made formal attire, exclusive to Soul Douluos, only appears when dueling with opponents of equal strength or on extremely important occasions.

They weren't wearing these formal attire for Su Cheng, of course, but for the two "distinguished guests" Sun Buyu had mentioned.

He glanced to the side and saw that in the office, besides the three elderly men, there was also a middle-aged man in his forties and a girl about his age sitting in the guest seats.

The middle-aged man had a handsome face, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a refined and gentle appearance. He wore a spotless white robe and had his smooth black hair cascading down his back. At this moment, he was looking him up and down with a strange expression.

The girl had short, ear-length hair and exquisite, ethereal beauty, exuding the air of a noblewoman, and also showed curiosity on her face.

Ning Fengzhi? Then the girl sitting next to him must be Ning Rongrong?

Su Cheng was slightly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

Let's lay the groundwork and gather some allies, otherwise we'll get crushed by the corrupted Qian Renxue.

Thank you to "Humanity's Scum Doctor" for the 500-point reward, and thank you to "Fireworks x Stars" for the 100-point reward. Thank you to all the readers; I never dreamed that I would receive over a thousand monthly votes.
