"Three esteemed educators, Qin Ming takes his leave."
Qin Ming nodded. He actually had two goals in joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
One was to cultivate with the backing of a major power, and the other was the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament.
He had long heard of Yu Tianheng, the top genius of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who became a Spirit Elder in his teens and possessed the world's number one beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Such a genius greatly intrigued Qin Ming, and his only thought now was to witness it for himself.
If he could build a good relationship with this genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, he might just become the lead teacher for the next Continental Spirit Master Academy Tournament.
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Ming quickly departed.
"Teacher Qin joining the academy… it seems he has other intentions."
Anyone who could cultivate to a Soul Douluo was no fool. How could they not see Qin Ming's impatient thoughts? They simply didn't care.
After all, the spirit master world was essentially a place where the strong preyed on the weak. If Qin Ming had the ability, then whatever he did at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, someone would vouch for him and support him.
Of course, if he lacked ability, then even if he had intentions, he wouldn't be able to achieve anything in the end.
"Hmm… he's here!"
Meng Shenji, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and spoke abruptly.
Hearing Meng Shenji's words, the other two educators beside him also looked towards the door.
In their line of sight, a figure wearing a golden robe, with an exquisitely handsome face, was slowly approaching, walking with the majestic stride of a dragon and tiger, exuding an overbearing aura.
"Pei Qing greets the three educators!"
Under the gazes of Meng Shenji and the other two, Pei Qing had already arrived before them.
Pei Qing appropriately showed a bit of respect to these three, as they were Xue Qinghe's most loyal supporters.
"Young friend Pei Qing, there's no need for such formality. Seeing you today, you truly are as talented as His Highness the Crown Prince described."
Meng Shenji stroked his beard, his gaze filled with admiration as he looked at Pei Qing.
Ten years old, thirty-third rank. What terrifying talent! It seems a Title Douluo powerhouse is truly about to appear in the Heaven Dou Empire in the future.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is merely flattering me. I just have a tiny bit of talent."
"As I study at the academy, I ask for the continued guidance of the three educators."
After exchanging a few more words with the educators, Pei Qing was led by a teacher assigned by Meng Shenji to complete the enrollment procedures.
Watching Pei Qing's departing figure, Meng Shenji and the other two educators beside him nodded with great satisfaction, their faces filled with admiration.
After completing the enrollment procedures with the teacher arranged by the three educators, Pei Qing moved directly into the dormitory assigned to him by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As a noble academy supported by the imperial family, the environment of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was undeniably excellent.
For the next few days, Pei Qing spent his time cultivating, attending classes, and searching for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
He was determined to acquire the top-tier healing ability of the Nine Hearts Begonia. Pei Qing was also very interested in Dugu Yan—he was referring to the immortal herb behind her, so don't misunderstand.
...
Heavenly Class One
Pei Qing leaned against the classroom door, looking into the room, a faint hint of amusement and curiosity in his eyes.
In Pei Qing's line of sight, there were two beautiful girls.
These two girls were Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, whom he had been searching for for a long time.
"Lingling, look, that little guy is here again!"
"Every day he comes and leans there just to look at you, it's really enviable!"
"Such a cute little brother, waiting for you pitifully every day."
"It just makes your heart ache!"
Dugu Yan embraced Ye Lingling beside her, winking at her and teasing her playfully.
"Yanyan, don't talk nonsense. I don't know him."
Ye Lingling was usually a very shy person. Hearing Dugu Yan's words, her cheeks under her black veil flushed crimson with embarrassment.
"Hehe, you don't know him? Then just get to know him!"
"I thought I'd find my other half first, but I didn't expect our Lingling to find hers first."
"And he's younger, so you can train him however you want, right?"
Dugu Yan continued to tease. The shy Lingling was simply too adorable.
Having grown up together due to their families, Dugu Yan loved nothing more than seeing Ye Lingling's shy expression.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Lingling puffed out her cheeks and reached out to hit Dugu Yan.
But as soon as she reached out, Dugu Yan giggled and ran straight out of the classroom door.
Chasing each other, the two arrived at the classroom entrance.
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she eagerly approached Pei Qing.
Ye Lingling's delicate face, hidden under her black veil, was flushed crimson, and she hesitated, not daring to chase Dugu Yan anymore.
"Little brother, do you like our Lingling that much?"
"For many days in a row, you've been waiting here as soon as class ends."
"So devoted! So, would you like to date our Lingling?"
Dugu Yan approached Pei Qing, her pretty face full of gossip as she asked.
Ye Lingling was mortified, biting her lip and silently blaming Dugu Yan, feeling a shy urge to just run away.
"Hello, Senior Dugu. Actually, I came to find you. Could I have a word with you?"
Dugu Yan froze!
Ye Lingling, who had been wanting to run away, also froze!
For a moment, they stared at each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Especially Dugu Yan, her mood was very complex!
Wasn't I just enjoying some gossip? How did this gossip end up involving me?
"Wow, so you like Yanyan?"
"Congratulations, Yanyan!"
Ye Lingling had been teased by Dugu Yan for the past two days and had long been secretly plotting revenge.
Now that she had the chance, she had to act.
"Besides Senior Dugu, Senior Ye is also one of my targets."
"So don't be shy, let's all come together!"
Ye Lingling froze!
She looked at Pei Qing's handsome face and his captivating golden eyes. They were indeed very beautiful.
But for one person to want to have both her and Yanyan, wasn't that going too far?
Dugu Yan was thinking the same thing at this moment. She glared at Pei Qing, very displeased.
"You perverted brat, what do you want to do? You want to date both me and Lingling? You're too greedy."
"Exactly… Yanyan is right. We don't even know you, and for you to have such a thought is simply too much."
Ye Lingling was also a bit angry, but her personality was gentle, and she easily got shy when talking to strangers. Even though she was angry at Pei Qing, her tone still sounded gentle.
"Did the two seniors misunderstand something? I just want to invite the two seniors to form a combat team."
Pei Qing was speechless. As expected of a continent of romance, what kind of wild thoughts were going through their minds?
Even if I were to truly take both of you, I would definitely pursue you one by one. How could I just come out and say I'm taking both of you?
