Chapter 6: Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy

"That woman just now... is quite an interesting person." Zhexian whispered to himself, his voice like flowing clear springs, carrying a hint of laziness and indifference.

He did not take Xue Qinghe's invitation to heart; instead, he became somewhat interested in the Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo hiding in the shadows.

Although their auras were hidden extremely well, under Zhexian's perception, they still had nowhere to hide.

"That child from six years ago... perhaps will become their greatest enemy." Zhexian murmured softly, a faint ripple flashing through his eyes.

That child flows with the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor and will surely achieve great things in the future.

And all of this, perhaps, has become a part of his plan.

"The path of the Immortal Dao, after all, requires slaughter."

Zhexian's voice was low and distant, carrying a trace of faint indifference.

Several days later, Tiandou Huanggong.

Xue Qinghe stood before the palace window, his gaze fixed on the distant sky. Zhexian's figure still surfaced in his mind, and his heart could not remain calm for a long time.

"That person... who exactly is he?" Xue Qinghe murmured softly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, unable to see through the other party's background or purpose.

This feeling of the unknown made him feel a trace of unease, yet it was also filled with curiosity.

"Young Master." The voice of Pufferfish Douluo came from behind, interrupting Xue Qinghe's thoughts.

Xue Qinghe turned around, his gaze looking calmly at Pufferfish Douluo: "What is it?"

Pufferfish Douluo bowed slightly, his tone respectful: "Young Master, regarding that person, we have already investigated, but there are no clues. He seems to have appeared out of thin air and vanished out of thin air; there is no background to check."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's brows furrowed slightly: "No clues at all?"

Pufferfish Douluo nodded: "Yes, Young Master. We utilized all of the Spirit Hall's intelligence networks and still gained nothing."

Xue Qinghe was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Continue searching; you must find his origin."

Pufferfish Douluo acknowledged and withdrew, and Xue Qinghe's gaze turned back toward the window, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

"No matter who you are, I will find your origin." Xue Qinghe's voice was low and firm, as if swearing something.

Meanwhile, inside Tiandou City.

Zhexian stood on the streets of Tiandou City, his gaze deep and calm, as if pondering something.

His figure remained as ethereal as an immortal, drawing frequent side-glances from passersby, but he did not care in the slightest.

"Xue Qinghe's appearance actually gave me a good suggestion."

A smile curled at the corners of Zhexian's mouth, his eyes seemingly carrying a touch of playfulness, "The empire's war is the most spectacular performance of slaughter."

"Tianheng, those senior students are bullying the freshmen again; are we really not going to do anything about it?"

"Sister Dugu, although the boss's strength is also very strong, those senior students are several years older than us, and some of them are even at the fourth ring!"

"That's right, Sister Dugu, let's not join in the fun."

"What do you think, Sister Lingling?"

"I... I support Sister Dugu."

The voices of some boys and girls sounded from behind.

There were seven in total, five boys and two girls; their clothing was luxurious, clearly coming from noble families.

Zhexian listened to their conversation with interest.

"I heard your conversation just now." Zhexian's voice was clear and pleasant, carrying a hint of a faint smile, "Senior students bullying freshmen is indeed not a good thing. If you don't intervene, is it because you are afraid you cannot beat them?"

Hearing this, the seven of them turned their heads one after another, their gazes landing on Zhexian. They were stunned at first, then immediately attracted by Zhexian's extraordinary temperament, and could not help but feel a sense of favor in their hearts.

The leading boy, Yu Tianheng, frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of vigilance: "Who are you? Why were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Zhexian chuckled and waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, I was just passing by and happened to hear your conversation. Moreover, I am a teacher, having just arrived in Tiandou City from out of town, and I am looking for an academy to work at. Judging by your clothing and temperament, you should be students of the Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy, right?"

Hearing this, the vigilance in Yu Tianheng's eyes relaxed slightly. He looked Zhexian up and down, discovering that the other party's age did not seem much older than theirs, yet his temperament was extremely outstanding, and he could not help but feel a trace of curiosity.

"You are a teacher?" Dugu Yan, who was to the side, asked, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny, "Looking at you, your strength shouldn't be very strong."

Zhexian smiled slightly, his tone humble: "Teaching you geniuses of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy might still be a long way off."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's mouth curled up slightly, clearly quite satisfied with Zhexian's humble attitude.

This was the pride belonging to the students of their Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy!

She turned her head to look at Yu Tianheng and said in a low voice: "Tianheng, what do you think?"

Yu Tianheng nodded, his gaze landing on Zhexian again: "What is your name? Since you want to enter the academy, why not go directly to sign up as a teacher?"

Zhexian smiled, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "My name is Zhexian. The teacher assessment conditions for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are harsh. I am a newcomer and have no recommendation letter; I am afraid I don't even have the qualifications for the assessment."

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng's brows furrowed slightly. He pondered for a moment, then said: "If your strength is sufficient, we can help you get a recommendation. However, you must first prove that you are qualified to be a teacher."

Zhexian nodded, his tone remaining calm: "That is only natural. Why don't we have a spar, how about it?"

A flash of fighting spirit appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes, clearly very interested in Zhexian's proposal. He was about to agree, but Dugu Yan, who was to the side, spoke first: "Tianheng, let me do it. I also want to see his strength."

Yu Tianheng nodded, stepped back, and gave the space to Dugu Yan.

Zhexian smiled slightly, his gaze landing on Dugu Yan: "Please."

Dugu Yan did not waste words and directly released her martial soul—the Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor.

A faint layer of green light appeared on her body, and soul rings rose slowly; with two yellow soul rings, she was clearly a Great Soul Master.

Seeing this, a flash of appreciation appeared in Zhexian's eyes. He did not release his martial soul, but simply raised his hand slightly, signaling that Dugu Yan could begin.

Dugu Yan's brows furrowed slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Zhexian's contempt. She snorted coldly, her figure flashed, and she attacked directly toward Zhexian.

However, before her attack could get close to Zhexian, she felt a flute melody controlling her, and her body could not move in the slightest.

Dugu Yan was shocked in her heart, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You... how did you do that?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.

She didn't even see the other party release a soul skill!!!

Zhexian gently blew the Jade Flute, and the melodious sound of the flute echoed in the air, as if carrying an invisible power that firmly locked Dugu Yan's figure in place.

PS: Four thousand words have been presented today, please do not hoard the book! The trial period starts on Wednesday, it is really important!!!

(The character design of Zhexian is really hard to write, I think you readers know this too; there isn't much plot for Zhexian in the original work, so please don't mind if there are some discrepancies.)
