Following the teacher, Xue Lei Han strolled along the ancient path outside the city.
Xue Lei Han gave a strange look at the teacher walking ahead of him.
The location of this academy seemed a bit odd.
Seeming to sense Xue Lei Han’s gaze, the teacher turned his head with a smile and said, “Third Prince, you seem to be wondering why Heaven Dou Royal Academy is located outside the city?” Xue Lei Han nodded.
“Because the philosophy of Heaven Dou Academy conflicts with the nobles inside Heaven Dou City.” At this point, the teacher gave a bitter smile and continued, “Those noble children don’t come here to study at all.
Soul masters can only grow through hardship, yet they forcibly turned the academy into a playground for nobles.” By now, the teacher’s tone had become stern.
Then he suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized to Xue Lei Han, “I’m sorry, Third Prince.
I was just speaking casually earlier.
Please don’t take it to heart.” Xue Lei Han’s eyes withdrew from the distance.
He said indifferently, “It’s fine.
Moreover, once I enter the academy, I am no longer the Third Prince.
I am just the student Xue Lei Han.” After speaking, his gaze turned toward the distance again, as if thinking about something.
A flame of hope suddenly burned in the teacher’s eyes.
He turned around and continued to lead the way.
The Third Prince was flawless in both character and martial soul.
This kind of talent was exactly what their Heaven Dou Royal Academy needed.
Heaven bless Heaven Dou.
With the Third Prince in the future, Heaven Dou would stand tall and unyielding.
Along the way, the teacher from Heaven Dou Royal Academy kept introducing various landmark buildings and training grounds to Xue Lei Han, who silently memorized them in his heart.
In his mind, he was still recalling the newly created sword technique.
To avoid exposing his second martial soul, the Ultimate Ice, he had focused all his attention these days on his Azure Rose Thorn Sword.
A twin martial soul holder would make anyone in the world red with envy and jealousy, so he hadn’t even reported this matter to his Imperial Father or Imperial Mother.
The only person who knew about this was currently sleeping quietly in her ice and snow palace.
Shaking off all thoughts unrelated to cultivation, Xue Lei Han and the academy teacher had already walked into a room.
“Please wait here for a moment, Student Xue.
I will go invite the Dean.” Xue Lei Han held his sword in his arms and leaned against the wall on the side.
He was not used to sitting in unfamiliar places, as it would reduce his mobility.
Before long, the door was pushed open.
Xue Lei Han suddenly felt a wave of pressure.
His pupils slightly contracted.
This pressure reminded him of his first and last meeting with the Ice Phoenix.
A Title Douluo’s domain?
Although Xue Lei Han was young, his knowledge was extensive.
He had read all the books in the Heaven Dou Royal Library by the time he was five years old.
“Dean, hello.
I am the student Xue Lei Han who is enrolling in the academy today.” Xue Lei Han bowed to the newcomer.
This was the proper courtesy due to a powerhouse of a generation, and the understanding a junior should show to a senior.
“Third Prince is too polite.
This old man is Meng Shen Ji, the Dean of this academy.” Meng Shen Ji had white hair and a beard.
Although thin, he was exceptionally spirited, with a glowing, ruddy complexion.
Xue Lei Han slightly frowned and said, “The one standing here now is the student Xue Lei Han, not the Third Prince.” Upon hearing this, Meng Shen Ji’s smile grew even wider.
He was instantly extremely satisfied with this Third Prince, neither arrogant nor impetuous, exactly the kind of talent Heaven Dou Academy needed.
“Student Xue Lei Han, now let me introduce you to your teacher.” Meng Shen Ji stepped aside.
A tall, thin young man smiled and stepped forward, saying to Xue Lei Han with a smile, “Third Prin… Student Xue Lei Han, starting today I will be your homeroom teacher.
My name is Qin Ming.
Please guide me well.” Meng Shen Ji gave Qin Ming a reproachful look, then stepped forward with a smile and patted Xue Lei Han on the shoulder, saying, “Student Xue Lei Han, I hope you can become stronger and stronger at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and leave no regrets for yourself.” “Understood, Dean Meng,” Xue Lei Han said with a bow.
“Alright, Student Xue Lei Han, let’s go to class.
You’ve just caught up with the afternoon lessons.” Qin Ming pushed up his glasses and led the way ahead.
“Alright, Teacher Qin Ming.” After bidding farewell to Meng Shen Ji, Xue Lei Han followed Qin Ming across the playground into a building.
Qin Ming turned his head and said, “Student Xue Lei Han, if you have any questions, you can ask me in class, or you can come to my office after class.” He pointed to the teachers’ office not far from the classroom.
“Understood, Teacher Qin Ming.” Seeing the gradually quieting classroom, Qin Ming nodded.
He was always meticulous, even strict, during class.
“Today we have a new transfer student joining our class.” At this point, he motioned for Xue Lei Han to step forward.
Qin Ming continued, “Now let’s have him give a self-introduction.” Clap clap clap.
Dense applause rang out.
Xue Lei Han stepped forward and said, “My name is Xue Lei Han.
I am six years old this year.
My martial soul is the Azure Rose Thorn Sword, and I am a level 26 Power Attack System Great Soul Master.” Everyone was shocked.
Qin Ming also widened his eyes as he looked at the young child before him.
Six years old, the age when one had just awakened their martial soul, and he was already level 26?
He suddenly understood the academy’s higher-ups’ impatient attitude.
Xue Lei Han, the Third Prince, as long as he continued to grow, would definitely become a Title Douluo!
The students below had already exploded into discussion.
“Six years old, level 26?” “What the hell?
When we were six we had just awakened our martial souls, okay?
This is way too fast.” “He’s so handsome!” At this moment, some infatuated girls already had little hearts in their eyes.
Qin Ming nodded and pointed to the second-to-last seat in the fifth row, saying, “Xue Lei Han, your seat is right there.
If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the students around you.” Xue Lei Han walked to his seat carrying his sword and sat down.
During this class, Xue Lei Han seriously memorized every word Qin Ming said into his mind every single moment.
Only now did he realize that the books in the Heaven Dou Royal Library were not everything.
There was no limit to learning.
He was now like a dried-up sponge, madly absorbing knowledge.
After class, a group of classmates gathered around Xue Lei Han’s desk.
They were all one to two years older than him, while Xue Lei Han was the youngest student in the entire school.
A child who had just awakened his martial soul was qualified to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Xue Lei Han had set a precedent.
After finally dealing with the curious classmates, Xue Lei Han stood up carrying his sword.
He had previously asked Teacher Qin Ming about the location of the cultivation area.
To him, time was life.
“Xue Lei Han, long time no see.” A girl’s voice came from behind.
Xue Lei Han turned his head, and the first thing that entered his eyes was emerald-green hair.
“Mhm, long time no see, Dugu Yan.” He said indifferently, his eyes showing not a single ripple.
Speaking of which, their first meeting had also been caused by her grandfather.
When Xue Lei Han and his guards were playing in the Sunset Forest, they accidentally entered Poison Douluo Dugu Bo’s medicine garden.
Logically, Poison Douluo should have flown into a rage, as he hated unrelated people entering his medicine garden the most.
However, after holding Xue Lei Han’s hand for a while, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Everyone else was scared half to death.
Not only did Poison Douluo not pursue the matter, but he even allowed Xue Lei Han to enter and leave the medicine garden freely.
He and Dugu Yan had gotten to know each other at that time.
To be precise, they had not seen each other for two years.
Xue Lei Han nodded at her, then ignored the complicated gazes coming from behind and left the noisy classroom alone with his sword.
Perhaps because of Xue Lei Han’s identity, after finishing his training, he discovered that he had a single dormitory room all to himself, which suited him perfectly.
Xue Lei Han placed his sword to the side.
The dormitory was instantly filled with a layer of white frost.
But he did not choose to sleep.
Instead, he took off his clothes, turned his back to the mirror, and looked over his shoulder into it.
On Xue Lei Han’s fair back, two ice-blue wings seemed like tattoos imprinted on his body.
“So this is the Ice Phoenix’s soul bone.” Xue Lei Han lowered his head in thought.
Soul bones were divided into the left leg bone, right leg bone, left arm bone, right arm bone, skull, and torso bone.
Could this be the torso bone?
But the one on the back wasn’t called a torso bone.
He tried guiding his soul power into those two wings — or more accurately, into his back.
“Whoosh!” Xue Lei Han’s face turned pale.
This time he had poured in fully half of his soul power.
He turned his head to look and saw the two ice-blue wings surrounding him.
So the Ice Phoenix’s soul bone was wings.
Xue Lei Han controlled the wings, constantly familiarizing himself with the feeling of flight.
He floated in the room for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before his soul power was finally exhausted, and he helplessly fell onto the floor.
“As my soul power increases, I believe I will be able to master these wings,” Xue Lei Han thought.
During the short time he had been flying earlier, the dormitory had already turned into an ice cave.
Even the water in the cup on the table had frozen.
“I should become even more familiar with mastering ice-attribute energy.” Xue Lei Han sat cross-legged on the bed, mobilizing the meager soul power in his body, and entered a state of meditation.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Xue Lei Han was now seven years old.
In this year, the soul power level of his Azure Rose Thorn Sword had already reached level 30, but he still felt it was too fast.
If only his own comprehension could keep up with his soul power level.
“Knock, knock, knock.” A rhythmic knocking sound rang out.
Qin Ming pushed up his glasses.
Hearing this knocking, he knew it was his prized student Xue Lei Han.
“Lei Han, what question do you want to ask teacher this time?” Qin Ming asked with a smile.
He was extremely welcoming toward this kind of “problem student,” and he clearly spent more effort on Xue Lei Han than on other students, sometimes even giving him special lessons.
“Teacher Qin, good afternoon.” Xue Lei Han’s usually calm face showed a smile as he said, “This time I still have some slight confusion regarding martial soul fusion techniques.” “Martial soul fusion techniques require the soul power coordination of two people, with a high matching value.
One side leads the fusion of the martial souls to launch an attack,” Qin Ming said, narrowing his eyes in thought.
Xue Lei Han nodded.
Sure enough, the world was vast and full of wonders.
“Lei Han, why do you run to the training grounds every day?
You should enjoy more of campus life,” Qin Ming said helplessly while scratching his face.
Toward this cultivation maniac before him, he could only sigh powerlessly.
“My campus days back then were so relaxed and happy,” Qin Ming said with a nostalgic look, chuckling.
“Teacher Qin Ming, you also graduated from Heaven Dou Royal Academy?” Xue Lei Han asked.
“No, I graduated from a small academy in a mountain village.” Seeing Xue Lei Han’s slightly widened eyes, Qin Ming laughed heartily and said, “That academy is called Shrek Academy.” “I’ve never heard of it.” “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.
Shrek Academy is in a small village in the Balak Kingdom.
The graduates there are all very outstanding.” Qin Ming continued to introduce, “Moreover, their admission standards are extremely strict.
Students must be no older than twelve years old, and their soul power must reach level twenty or above.” “Teacher Qin, what do you think of Shrek Academy’s teaching level?” Xue Lei Han suddenly felt a bit interested in this legendary Shrek Academy.
They flew the banner of quality over quantity, and every graduate was an elite.
“Extremely high.
The thing I regret the least in my life is attending Shrek Academy.” Qin Ming had clearly fallen into reminiscence of his past.
After Xue Lei Han bowed, he quietly left.
“I’ve suddenly become a bit interested in this mysterious Shrek Academy.”
