Chapter 32: Not Even Looking Like a Man

"Teacher, the rules of the Soul Hunting Ground don't just require one to hunt on their own..."

At this moment, Xue Qinghe suddenly spoke up.

Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong exchanged a tacit look, then tacitly turned their heads to look outside the carriage.

The two of them had clearly both thought of what happened last night...

"The spots for the Soul Hunting Ground are always very limited, but the number of outsiders granted entry increases every year, so the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy has added an assessment in recent years," Xue Qinghe said with a gentle face.

"What assessment was added?"

Ning Fengzhi asked the question that Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong were also very curious about.

Xue Qinghe said: "A Mimicry Hunting Assessment was added."

"Mimicry Hunting..."

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly: "Could it be Mimicry Soul Beasts, ranked according to the results of hunting the soul beasts?"

"Teacher guessed correctly."

Xue Qinghe nodded and said: "It is indeed a simulation of soul beasts for everyone to hunt, and then they are ranked according to their performance, which is then used to allocate the Soul Hunting areas within the Soul Hunting Ground."

"Are there differences between the Soul Hunting areas?" Qin Jian asked.

Xue Qinghe glanced at him and said: "The Soul Hunting Ground is divided into four areas: Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, and Special Grade. The higher the area, the higher the quality of the soul beasts."

"So that's how it is..."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said: "Fortunately, Qin Jian is fighting this time. If it were left to Rongrong, it would definitely be the Level 3 area."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"Yes, fortunately it is Little Brother Qin. The students participating this time are certainly not simple..."

Xue Qinghe looked at Qin Jian and said: "From the Five Elements Academies, the one coming from the Thunder Academy is Yu Tianxin, a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, huh..."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said: "They don't intend to hide their relationship with the Thunder Academy anymore; they actually even sent their family heir."

Xue Qinghe nodded and added: "From the Elephant Armor Academy, the one coming this time is the grandson of their Elephant Armored Sect Master, Huyan Li."

"Even the Sect Master's grandson has come, how shameless!"

Ning Rongrong said indignantly: "Brother Jian won't have any advantage left."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said: "The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Soul Hunting Ground is indeed the most suitable hunting place for Spirit Masters under Level 30 like you. Even our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't we find a way to get spots?"

"What about the three major academies?"

Qin Jian suddenly asked: "The Shenfeng Academy, the Blazing Academy, and the Tianshui Academy—who is coming from each of them?"

Xue Qinghe said: "I don't know the backgrounds of these three. The Shenfeng Academy has a boy named Feng Xiaotian, the Blazing Academy has a girl named Huo Wu, and the Tianshui Academy also has a girl, named Shui Bing'er."

"It's all here..."

Qin Jian blinked.

He didn't expect that a single Soul Hunting Ground spot would actually attract all these seeded players from the Elite Soul Master Tournament of the entire Dalu...

Huo Wu... Shui Bing'er...

"What about the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? They wouldn't miss this soul hunt, would they?" Qin Jian asked.

Xue Qinghe smiled and said: "That goes without saying. The one participating in the soul hunt this time is Dugu Yan."

Qin Jian's expression changed.

Dugu Yan... Dugu Bo's granddaughter... Qiluo Tulip...

How can I manage to meet Dugu Bo...

And while Qin Jian was lost in thought, their carriage procession had already arrived in front of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

This place was outside the imperial city, occupying an entire mountain range.

Within it, all kinds of facilities were complete; it could be said to be the highest configuration of any academy on the entire Dalu, and even the teaching staff was the best in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

It was a pity that the students here were almost all children of nobles, and even those with outstanding talent lacked the perseverance to practice diligently.

Causing trouble was their forte, but practicing and fighting certainly were not...

Ning Fengzhi's group could not enter the academy directly because a large crowd of students was gathered at the entrance, blocking the road.

"Eh? What happened over there?"

Ning Rongrong, who had been bored along the way, was suddenly in high spirits. Without saying a word to Ning Fengzhi and the others, she grabbed Qin Jian's hand and ran toward the front.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head as he watched from behind.

"Teacher, Little Brother Qin and Rongrong have a very good relationship..." Xue Qinghe suddenly said.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said helplessly: "This little girl has found someone she likes, she's almost forgotten her father."

Xue Qinghe's gaze flickered, and she asked again: "Then has Teacher thought about arranging an engagement for them?"

Ning Fengzhi was slightly startled, then shook his head and said: "After all, they are still young and don't know what the future will hold. It's better not to be in a rush to tie them together for now."

Xue Qinghe nodded and said nothing more.

Only that gaze kept looking at Qin Jian's back, then at Ning Rongrong, not knowing what was being thought...

When he saw clearly what was happening in the field, Qin Jian immediately let out a sigh that was unexpected, yet within reason.

Because the one blocking the front gate was none other than the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, the professional-grade playboy actor, Xue Beng.

"You, get lost!"

The girl's vigorous, angry roar made Qin Jian glance sideways. He looked over and saw a young girl dressed in gold and red standing in the very center of the field.

"Little sister, don't be so hot-tempered."

Xue Beng naturally could not be scared off. He stepped forward and said flippantly: "I'm just seeing that you've just arrived and wanted to take you around the academy; I don't have any other ideas, why be so angry?"

"Hehehe..."

Several students behind him let out knowing laughs.

"I'll say it one more time, get lost!"

Firelight surged across the young girl's entire body: "Otherwise, I won't be polite!"

Qin Jian, observing from her side, felt a stir in his heart: "This look, this temper, could it be Huo Wu from Blazing Academy..."

Seeing that the other party was already on the verge of a rage, Fourth Prince Xue Beng decisively added fuel to the fire: "Oh my, I'm so scared!"

"Hahaha..."

Several Heaven Dou Royal Academy students laughed along quite amusingly.

"Hum hum!"

At this moment, two Yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath the young girl's feet, and the fluctuation of soul power caused the expressions of everyone nearby to change slightly.

"This kind of fluctuation, it should have already reached Level 30."

Ning Fengzhi had also walked over by this time, and when Xue Qinghe saw that the one causing trouble in the center was the Fourth Prince again, there was not the slightest hint of anything unusual on his face; he was likely already used to it.

"Teacher, looking at her attire, and the emblem on the teacher behind her, they should be from Blazing Academy, so she must be Huo Wu," she said.

Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded.

And what happened next naturally did not exceed Qin Jian's expectations; the few Heaven Micro Grade students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, including Fourth Prince Xue Beng, were directly knocked to the ground by Huo Wu, who had unleashed her full firepower.

Seeing the other Heaven Dou Royal Academy students nearby looking as silent as cicadas in winter, Huo Wu looked around and spat disdainfully: "Hmph, a bunch of weaklings, you don't even have the look of men!"
