"Hello, please give me a test… I want to join your Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Qian Renshang smiled and spoke to the testing teacher before him.
The teacher was momentarily stunned by Qian Renshang's appearance and demeanor; if it weren't for Qian Renshang's ordinary attire, he might have even thought the other was some prince.
"Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy students are divided into three levels.
Newly enrolled students and those below level 25 are in the first level, called the Heavenly Micro Level.
Those between levels 25 and 30 are in the Heavenly Supreme Level. And those above level 30 enter the highest level, the Heaven Dou Level."
"The enrollment fee is 5 Gold Soul Coins, paid upon successful enrollment… refunded upon failure."
"Did you understand?"
he explained meticulously. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as its name suggests, is a school for nobles; generally, only nobles can enter.
However, there are exceptions—commoners with exceptional talent.
These individuals receive greater preferential treatment; geniuses are always treated better, no matter where they are.
Qian Renshang was slightly surprised.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy, being a long-established institution, was indeed extraordinary.
It seemed much more formal than Shrek Academy, and the registration fee was only 5 gold soul coins.
"Alright, let's test!"
Qian Renshang followed the testing teacher. First, they tested his bone age.
He stood on a platform with a very unusual structure.
Soon, the teacher nodded.
"Bone age... 15 years and 9 months! Qualified!"
Qian Renshang nodded slightly, thinking that it was indeed true. Because he had been feeding Nana's blood, his growth had been delayed.
Although he was 22 years old, his physical age was less than 16.
"Next, we'll test... soul power!"
The teacher gave Qian Renshang a crystal ball to test soul power.
This crystal ball could test soul power below level 30.
"I suggest you... give me a different crystal ball!"
Looking at the familiar crystal ball, Qian Renshang suddenly said.
"Why change this?... Continue the test."
The male teacher was puzzled. Qian Renshang didn't say anything more and simply placed his hand on it.
The crystal ball emitted a dazzling light for a moment, and then... it exploded!
It shattered into a million pieces!
"Hiss... 15 years old, soul power above level 30?"
The teacher was instantly excited.
"Hello... My name is Li Yan, a Heavenly Supreme level teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
He introduced himself, his expression becoming serious as he looked at Qian Renshang. Geniuses naturally receive the treatment of geniuses.
"Hello, Teacher Li Yan."
Qian Renshang smiled politely, and the latter took out a higher-level soul power testing crystal ball. This time, he directly took out a crystal ball that could test level 50 soul power. Surely
this would be fine, right?
It wasn't that he was narrow-minded; reaching the Soul Grandmaster level under 15 was already a complete genius, and anything higher would even alarm the Dean.
Qian Renshang continued to place his hand on the crystal ball, inputting soul power... and then...
it exploded!
Qian Renshang had no intention of hiding his abilities; there was no need... Better talent meant better resources, so it was normal for the crystal ball to explode when level 65 soul power was revealed.
"My God...you're a Soul King, a 15-year-old Soul King?"
Li Yan was utterly shocked.
"No...I have to inform the leaders."
With that, he turned and left without looking back, circulating his soul power and running incredibly fast.
Qian Renshang was somewhat surprised; this teacher was actually a Soul King as well.
"What happened? Teacher Li Yan is so shocked."
"I don't know...it seems to be because of that freshman."
The crowd whispered among themselves. Before long, the moment that shocked everyone arrived.
Three people emerged from the area at the very center of the academy, where it was said that all the academy's high-ranking members, those at the Heaven Dou level or above, lived.
They were three elderly people.
These three elderly people were all wearing black robes, with strange patterns embroidered with gold thread on the black robes, which looked very valuable.
These robes were not exclusive to them; they were custom-made formal wear that only Soul Masters of level 80 or above, who possessed the title of Soul Douluo, could receive from the Spirit Hall, representing their status.
A red formal wear second only to Title Douluo.
"Oh my god... what am I seeing?
This is Meng Tianji, the Education Commissioner.
It is said that his soul power is already over level 80, making him one of the few eight-ring Soul Douluos in our academy.
He is usually elusive and rarely seen. Why is he here, and in such a hurry?"
"Wait, there's also Bai Baoshan, the Education Commissioner... He's here too, that chubby old man."
"The one behind... is Zhilin, the Education Commissioner!
My god... Why do those three seem to be in such a hurry?"
Exclamations erupted in the arena. It was hard to remain calm at the sight of three Soul Douluos appearing; these were figures standing on high pedestals.
The Dean of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire; he was merely holding a nominal position.
The real power lay with these three.
Upon seeing the important figures in their eyes, they greeted the blond youth with fawning smiles.
"You... you're the peerless genius that kid Li Yan mentioned, right?"
An elderly man of medium build, very thin, and seemingly frail, looked at Qian Renshang and spoke.
His voice was somewhat cunning, but not unpleasant, giving off a friendly aura.
His hair and beard were all white, and although thin, he was exceptionally energetic, his face glowing.
It was Meng Shenji.
"Probably...right!"
Qian Renshang was somewhat bewildered, not expecting such a commotion.
Were the higher-ups at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy so idle?
"Hehe...I am Bai Baoshan."
An elderly man who looked rather plump explained himself,
"I know what you're curious about...a genius around fifteen years old, at the Soul King level, is worth the three of us old folks going to such lengths."
The figure standing at the very back looked the most ordinary, appearing very reserved. He smiled slightly at Qian Renshang.
"What's your name?"
"...Gu Siyue!"
Qian Renshang still chose to use a pseudonym.
"Why don't you come with us old folks? We'll personally test you...after all, our academy excels at individualized instruction and won't bury any genius."
Zhilin suggested, and Qian Renshang naturally agreed readily.
Then, led by the three old men, he strode forward, very poised and confident, without the slightest hesitation.
Those who had initially felt a bit jealous of Qian Renshang instantly lost their temper.
"Are you kidding me? Someone who can gain the attention of three Soul Douluos must be an absolute genius.
To be an enemy of such a genius is practically suicide!"
Most of the people present were noble children.
Although some were arrogant and domineering, and enjoyed bullying commoners, they would still keep their distance from true geniuses, or try to win them over, but would never provoke them lightly.
Immediately, news of a super genius arriving at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy spread like wildfire!
