Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 7 Heaven Dou Royal Academy (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)

The next day, Gu Xuan set off from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and headed to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which was twenty miles east of Heaven Dou City.

Gu Rong, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong watched Gu Xuan leave from the castle, and they were all somewhat reluctant to part with him.

Seeing Gu Rong's reluctant expression, Chen Xin comforted him, "When it rains, it pours; when a mother marries, she remarries. Xuan'er is right about one thing: young people should go out and explore. Besides, he's going to an academy, so there's definitely no danger there."

Gu Rong waved his hand and replied, "I understand. It's just that this kid suddenly left like that, and I'm really not used to it."

Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly and said, "He'll be back when the semester ends. Besides, Xiao Xuan has been mature and shrewd since he was little, so Uncle Gu doesn't need to worry."

Ning Rongrong chimed in, "Brother Gu Xuan is so amazing, he'll definitely be the best at the academy. I need to cultivate as quickly as possible and catch up with Brother Gu Xuan."

Everyone chuckled upon hearing this: "Then Rongrong will have to work even harder. Your brother Gu Xuan is a man of unwavering determination; he won't wait for you."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong turned her head away haughtily: "I don't want Brother Gu Xuan to wait, Rongrong will go after him herself."

…………

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not far from Heaven Dou City, at most half a day's journey. In addition, Gu Xuan was traveling in the best carriage in the sect, so even getting to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy only took half a day.

It wasn't enrollment time yet, but Gu Xuan's identity was extraordinary. He took the recommendation letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and went directly to the offices of the three instructors of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

These three instructors are: Meng Shenji, the chief instructor of the academy and an 85th-level control-type Soul Douluo, with the martial soul Black Demon; Bai Baoshan, the second-in-command of the academy and an 83rd-level defense-type Soul Douluo, with the martial soul Heavenly Star Furnace; and Zhilin, the second-in-command of the academy and an 81st-level control-type Soul Douluo, with the martial soul Azure Vine.

These three are all outstanding figures of the older generation in the Soul Master world. Each of them is highly respected and pays special attention to and actively mentors outstanding younger Soul Masters.

When Gu Xuan arrived at the office with the letter of recommendation, the three education committee members were busy handling government affairs. Upon seeing Gu Xuan's letter of recommendation, they couldn't help but show a warm smile.

The letter clearly stated Gu Xuan's identity: the grandson of Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who had already cultivated to the level 33 Soul Master realm at the young age of fifteen, and had come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study.

This age was obviously fabricated, after all, Gu Xuan didn't want to be too high-profile, and because of his identity, these three education committee members naturally wouldn't doubt his age.

At fifteen years old and at level thirty-three, reaching this level at that age is already considered exceptionally talented. They were overjoyed that Gu Xuan was able to enter the academy.

Although the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the number one academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, it has become somewhat corrupt in recent years. Most of the students who join the academy are children of nobles or powerful families who are there to gain prestige, and there are very few truly outstanding geniuses. It is a waste of such a great resource.

Although the three education committee members were deeply saddened by this and submitted several memorials to the throne, the honorary dean of the Tiandou Royal Academy was Prince Xuexing, and they had no decision-making power, so in the end, nothing came of it.

What they can do now is to discover more talented and persevering young people, nurture them, and do their best to provide outstanding young people with convenient and excellent learning environments.

Currently, the number of students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is over three hundred. These students are further divided into the Tianwei level (levels 21 to 25), the Tianzhi level (levels 26 to 30), and the Heavenly Dou level (levels 30 and above).

The vast majority of them are students at the Tianwei and Tianzhi levels, and the noble children who come here to gain prestige are basically at these two levels as well.

The main force of the academy, the Heavenly Dou level, only accounts for one-tenth of the total number of students, which is only thirty-four people now. Even if Gu Xuan is included, there are only thirty-five people. It can be said that the title of the first academy of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is now just a name.

The only remaining advantage for them to compete for first place is probably their superior teaching environment and faculty.

"Gu Xuan of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School greets the three instructors." Gu Xuan bowed to the three instructors and said softly.

As the chief, Meng Shenji chuckled as he sized up Gu Xuan, then said, "Little Xuan, may I call you that?"

Gu Xuan nodded: "Of course, it would be my honor."

"Senior Bone Douluo has truly raised a fine child. He has already reached the Soul Master realm at such a young age, and he is still so polite. It is our honor that you can come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Meng Shenji said with a smile.

"Commissioner Meng Shenji, I am here to learn, and I should naturally respect my teachers. However, I am flattered by your praise," Gu Xuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hahaha!" Bai Baoshan, who was standing next to Meng Shenji, laughed and said, "Good, Xiao Xuan, I like kids like you. If you have any difficulties in your studies in the future, feel free to come to me. I will definitely answer all your questions."

Gu Xuan cupped his hands in thanks to Bai Baoshan and said, "Then this student thanks Education Commissioner Bai Baoshan in advance."

After a few words, the three education committee members didn't chat with Gu Xuan much. They directly called a teacher to take Gu Xuan to arrange his accommodation.

With Gu Xuan's strength, he could easily enter the top-tier class at the Heavenly Dou level. Moreover, Gu Xuan also had a chance to compete for a spot in the Royal Dou team. However, since today was Gu Xuan's first day of school, they didn't want him to suffer. Instead, they took him to his temporary accommodation to settle in. After all, it was already afternoon, and Gu Xuan needed to have a good meal and get some rest.

The reason it's a temporary residence is because Gu Xuan hasn't yet confirmed whether he can join the Royal Fighting Team. If Gu Xuan does join, then his residence will naturally be with the members of the Royal Fighting Team, so this is why it's a temporary residence.

On the way to his temporary accommodation, Gu Xuan chatted with the teacher who was leading him there and learned that the Royal Fighting Team was divided into Team One and Team Two. Team One currently had no substitutes and only seven members. Team Two, including the substitutes, had a total of twelve members. These nineteen members were considered the top batch of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Among them, the strongest was Yu Tianheng, who was seventeen years old and at level thirty-seven.

When Gu Xuan learned about the information and levels of the other members of the Royal Fighting Team, Yu Tianheng was stunned. He was already seventeen years old.

Gu Xuan then realized that although he had read the original work, he was not very clear about the exact age of Yu Tianheng and the others. His previous guess that Dugu Yan entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy at the age of fifteen was because Dugu Yan broke through to level thirty at the age of fifteen.

Now, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng are the same age, while I am twelve years old, which means Dugu Yan is five years older than me!

Damn it, this is two years too late. I wonder if Dugu Yan has been kidnapped by Yu Tianheng. If those two have already started dating, then I'm out of luck.

It's not that Gu Xuan is a womanizer, but if he could directly win over Dugu Yan, it would be much easier to approach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, since he would have that connection with Dugu Yan.

Moreover, they can use Dugu Yan to bring Dugu Bo into the sect, since Dugu Bo only has Dugu Yan as his precious granddaughter.

Regardless of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, or Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Gu Xuan's initial thought was that only children make choices; adults just pack everything up and take it all.

However, now... the plan may have changed, and Gu Xuan will have to think of a new approach.

Gu Xuan wasn't a womanizer. If Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were already together, Gu Xuan naturally wouldn't do anything to break them up. Besides, he preferred the first time, not the countless times that followed.
