Chapter 94 The Transfer Student at the Spirit Academy
[Spirit Academy.]
As the place where the Spirit Hall cultivates its younger generation, this place is highly valued.
Every year at the start of the school year, Pope Qian Xunji would attend the opening ceremony and make an appearance before the newly enrolled young Soul Masters.
[This year is no different.]
The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Academy and the Spirit Hall sat in order on the stage, all watching Pope Qian Xunji's speech.
Below, students from various grades of the Spirit Academy listened to Qian Xunji's speech, their expressions varying.
Like lower-grade students, most of them now sat ramrod straight, their faces flushed as they stared at the Pope on the platform.
Because the Spirit Academy in Spirit City is the headquarters of the Spirit Academy, the soul masters who can come here are all those who have passed the selection process of the primary and secondary academies and are considered to have some talent.
Putting everything else aside, being under fifteen years old, level 30 or above, and having the best soul ring configuration—if you don't meet even one of these conditions, you won't be able to get in.
However, despite their considerable talent, the Spirit Academy doesn't admit students like the academies of the two great empires, where applicants generally need to have some kind of background.
Many students at the Spirit Academy were originally commoners.
Therefore, meeting the legendary Pope on their very first day at the Spirit Academy was something they could hardly imagine.
The older students, on the other hand, were much calmer; most of them appeared to be dozing off.
[There were also some more alert people who watched the younger students' excited expressions with amusement.]
Besides these, there were also some people gossiping in private.
"Hey, did you guys hear? It seems like we're getting a transfer student."
[Among the crowd, Bibi Dong, who had been resting with her eyes closed, twitched her ears and heard people whispering around her.]
"A transfer student? What's going on?"
"Hey, I heard about this when I passed by the teacher's office. They said it was specially arranged by higher-ups to bring this person here."
"What are the specific details?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I heard from my teacher that the opponent seems to be a Great Soul Master who hasn't even reached level 30 yet."
"A Great Soul Master? A Great Soul Master can come to our academy? Aren't only those level 30 and above allowed here?"
"Is that even a question? He has connections, of course."
"Tsk, how disgusting, making us classmates with a Soul Master who's over level 20."
"It's disgusting, but there's nothing we can do about it; they have connections."
"Hmph, so what if he has connections? Soul Masters still rely on their strength. Just wait, if this is true, I'll teach him a lesson."
"Hey, hey, don't be impulsive! I already told you they have connections!"
"Can't I just invite him to a spirit battle as usual? No matter how powerful his background is, he still has to fight in a spirit battle, right? This is part of our basic curriculum."
"Great idea! How come I didn't think of that? Hehe, these people who only rely on their connections should be made to understand that what we can truly rely on in Douluo Continent is our own strength."
"..."
As time went by, more and more new voices joined in the discussions around me.
Hearing their words, Bibi Dong just wanted to laugh.
Upon hearing the words "transfer student," Bibi Dong already knew who they were talking about.
[Besides Yu Xiaogang, there's no one else who could it be.]
[Under normal circumstances, given Yu Xiaogang's strength and age, he shouldn't have come to the headquarters of the Spirit Academy to study.]
But there are always exceptions.
[Like myself, someone who was accepted as a disciple by the Pope at a very young age, how was I able to rise all the way up from the junior academy?]
Although Yu Xiaogang's situation was different from mine, he was also genuinely there with the intention of learning insider knowledge.
[Even disregarding these factors, Yu Xiaogang's personal circumstances alone are enough to warrant an exception from the Spirit Academy.]
Of course, Bibi Dong didn't think highly of those who wanted to harm Yu Xiaogang.
But she was actually looking forward to this battle.
[For no other reason than Yu Xiaogang's two soul skills and his unique beast martial soul.]
Bibi Dong was very curious about Yu Xiaogang's specific soul skills and what kind of fighting style his separated beast martial soul could display.
Although Bibi Dong had mentioned to Yu Xiaogang during a previous conversation that he might become her first true friend.
But whether or not you can become friends isn't something that can be decided with just a few words.
If Yu Xiaogang were truly despicable, even if he were the son of Thunder Douluo, and even if they had a pleasant conversation, Bibi Dong might not be willing to accept such a friend.
[One of the things those people said in their conversation was very true: in the world of Douluo Continent, the only thing you can truly rely on is your own fists.]
Shortly after, Qian Xunji finished his speech, and several other high-ranking members of the academy stood up to speak, but none of them could match Qian Xunji's eloquence.
The opening ceremony ended quickly.
All students returned to their respective classrooms, awaiting their teachers' instructions regarding their upcoming study and training.
[Bibi Dong arrived at her class's training ground. Under the respectful, admiring, and adoring gazes of the crowd, she found a spot she liked, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate quietly.]
Bibi Dong is in the elite class.
The elite class is the true core of the Spirit Academy; those who can enter are basically promising talents for the future.
Logically, the teacher in charge of the elite class should be a Soul Saint.
However, because of Bibi Dong, their teacher is now a Soul Douluo, and they also frequently receive lessons from Title Douluos.
Therefore, everyone in the elite class was extremely grateful to Bibi Dong, the pope's disciple.
However, while they were grateful, they were also very cautious in their treatment of Bibi Dong.
Because they knew very well that they and Bibi Dong were not on the same level.
Soon, a tall, stern-faced middle-aged man arrived at the training ground; this was the Soul Douluo in charge of the elite class.
Of course, the students didn't pay any attention to the teacher's arrival.
What they cared about more was the boy who was following their teacher.
The young man was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang, and he immediately became the center of attention upon his arrival.
As everyone sized up Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang also glanced at the crowd in the training ground.
At a glance, there were twenty or thirty people, and they were all much older than him.
Therefore, Bibi Dong, who was about the same age as him, stood out in the crowd.
Of course, the moment Yu Xiaogang entered the training ground, he keenly sensed the hostility in the students' eyes.
Yu Xiaogang wasn't particularly surprised by this.
He just found it amusing.
"It seems my time studying at the Spirit Academy won't be too peaceful."
