Chapter 32: Tiandou Royal Academy

"Where in the city is the Tiandou Royal Academy?"

Flender asked Yu Xiaogang while looking at the map.

Yu Xiaogang glared at the other: "If you don't know, how would I know? You're supposed to be a Dean, after all."

"Dean Flender, I know where the Tiandou Royal Academy is."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong solved the pressing problem for Flender.

"My family's castle is not far from Tiandou City. In the past, I often went to Tiandou City to play with my clan members, and I have also been to the Tiandou Royal Academy."

"Although the direct lineage members all cultivate and study within the sect, some collateral branches still have members in the Royal Academy, just like Lin Yu. He is actually a student of the Tiandou Royal Academy."

"The Tiandou Royal Academy is not inside Tiandou City, but outside the city, just like our Shrek Academy is outside Soto City."

As night fell, under Ning Rongrong's lead, they finally arrived at their destination—the Tiandou Royal Academy.

"Halt! Who are you?"

Ten Spirit Masters, aged about eighteen or nineteen, blocked the path of the Shrek group.

Although they had not summoned their martial souls, their goose-yellow school uniforms made it clear that these were all students of the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Flender spoke boldly: "We are from Shrek Academy. Invited by your Tiandou Royal Academy, we have come specifically for an exchange. Lead the way."

"Just you lot of bumpkins, coming to our academy for an exchange?" The youth leading the other side looked Flender up and down, then glanced at the attire of the others, his face full of disdain.

Those who could step through the threshold of the Tiandou Royal Academy were few and far between who relied purely on strength; most had gained entry by relying on family connections and noble status.

This is the most significant flaw of the Tiandou Royal Academy; otherwise, how could it hold the prestigious title of the number one academy in the Tiandou Diguo without the strength of a number one academy?

Dai Mubai flashed forward instantly, blocking in front of Flender, a chilling cold radiating from his body.

Since he could remember, no one had ever insulted him like this, let alone with such a contemptuous tone.

He was never a person with a good temper, and besides, it was his own teacher who had been insulted this time.

—Bang! Dai Mubai kicked the speaking youth flying, then immediately activated his martial soul.

Just at that moment, a powerful voice suddenly rang out: "What is going on? Why is there such a commotion?"

Between the tree-lined path on the hillside, a figure approached quickly, wearing a silver tight-fitting suit. His build was similar to Flender's, his face as bright as the silver moon, and an extraordinary aura revealed itself between his eyebrows.

"Teacher Sun, those people dared to cause trouble in our academy and even hurt people! You must stand up for us!"

The youth kicked flying by Dai Mubai, seeing a lifeline, rushed forward almost by rolling and crawling.

Teacher Sun gazed at the ragged students before him and couldn't help but frown deeply: "Xue Beng, look at your state! What kind of example is this!"

In front of outsiders, he did not scold his students too much; his gaze turned toward the Shrek group.

When his eyes met Flender's, his heart stirred slightly. He hurriedly stepped forward a few paces and bowed slightly, saying: "Greetings, everyone. I am Sun Buyu. What business brings you to our Tiandou Academy?"

Since the other party was polite, Flender naturally no longer dwelled on the past. He said calmly: "We are here to find Qin Ming. Just now, those students of your academy called us beggars and told us to get lost, which is why this conflict occurred."

Sun Buyu's heart stirred: "You are looking for Teacher Qin? May I ask if you are all from Shrek Academy in the Bala Kingdom?"

Flender nodded: "Exactly."

"To be able to teach a genius like Teacher Qin, I am deeply admiring. Regarding the matter just now, I apologize on behalf of the Tiandou Royal Academy to everyone. Please, come in quickly."

Sun Buyu's expression immediately became respectful, and at the same time he glared at those students of the Tiandou Royal Academy. Entering the academy, he didn't see many students; according to Sun Buyu, most students were distributed in various simulation zones for cultivation, so the main campus area actually had very few people.

Not long after, accompanied by a sound of hurried footsteps, Qin Ming entered briskly with a face full of spring breeze, his eyes flashing with barely contained joy.

"Dean Flender, you have finally arrived! I have been waiting with bated breath!"

Having said that, he hurried forward to bow to Flender and the several teachers of Shrek Academy.

Flender gently helped him up, a smile overflowing on his face: "No need for so much ceremony. In the future, we will be following your lead! Is everything arranged here?"

Qin Ming hurriedly nodded: "Dean, rest assured. I have already arranged everything."

In a courtyard on the west side of the main campus of the Tiandou Royal Academy, everything had been cleaned up, and everyone had a separate room.

The entire courtyard was like a separate existence; the conditions in every aspect were unknown how many times better than Shrek Academy, and even the welcome dinner was much more abundant than imagined.

The next morning, Qin Ming came, bringing specially prepared hot breakfast.

The Shrek Academy group got up one after another. While eating breakfast, Qin Ming briefly introduced the personnel structure of the Tiandou Royal Academy to them.

The students are divided into three levels: those who just entered and those with strength below level twenty-five form one level, the Tianwei Level.

Those between level twenty-five and level thirty form another level, the Tianzhi Level.

Those above level thirty enter the highest level, the Tiandou Level.

Like the seven members of the Imperial Battle Team, they are all outstanding figures in the Tiandou Level, while those the Shrek Academy group met at the foot of the mountain the day before were all Tianwei Level students.

"So they are Tianwei Level students. No wonder they are so weak."

"In that case, Yu Tianheng must be the student with the most outstanding talent in the Tiandou Royal Academy, right?"

Dai Mubai had witnessed Yu Tianheng's prowess and held him in high regard.

Qin Ming's lips curled slightly, and he said slowly: "Tianheng is undoubtedly an outstanding genius, but in our academy, the only one who can be called monster-level is probably him."

"Monster? Isn't that the same as us Seven Devils?"

Ma Hongjun chewed his food with large bites, muttering with a face full of curiosity.

At this moment, Qin Ming's gaze turned to Ning Rongrong, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Speaking of which, you should have some interaction with him. He is Lin Yu from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Lin Yu! So it was him..."

Hearing Zhou Yu's alias, Tang San couldn't help but ponder silently: "Why do I feel... his figure is everywhere I go!"

"Senior Qin Ming, that guy Lin Yu, doesn't he just rely on a Desert Eagle? What is there to show off?"

Ma Hongjun's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Qin Ming shook his head gently and said: "If we talk about talent, I'm afraid... he is no worse than Tang San."

He paused for a moment: "I know you have won twenty-eight consecutive matches at the Soto Great Spirit Arena and are the owners of the Gold Soul Fighting Badge. However, Lin Yu is also an owner of the Gold Soul Fighting Badge, and he has already won thirty-five consecutive matches."

"What? He... he is that powerful?"

These words not only left Ma Hongjun dumbfounded, but even the usually steady and reserved Tang San and Dai Mubai couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, their hearts stirred with waves.
