Leaving the Star Dou Great Forest and returning home, Dragon Chen simply tidied up.
The next morning, he and Ye Tianming rode a carriage along a wide road, heading towards Heaven Dou Royal Academy, located twenty kilometers outside Heaven Dou City.
Along the way, Ye Tianming did not forget to tell Dragon Chen some things about Heaven Dou Royal Academy and matters to pay attention to.
As the carriage slowly moved, the outline of Heaven Dou Royal Academy gradually came into view.
After Dragon Chen and Ye Tianming got out of the carriage, they entered the campus together.
"Long Chen, Teacher Liu and I have already greeted each other. I'll take you to him first, and then we'll go see Ye Lingling."
"Okay."
"That girl Ye Lingling will definitely be very happy when she knows you've also come to the Royal Academy."
"Hmm, now that I'm at the Academy, Ye Lingling won't be so lonely."
Dragon Chen followed Ye Tianming to the teaching building and found Liu Zhicheng.
Liu Zhicheng was very happy to see them both.
"Brother Tianming, you've finally arrived."
"Zhicheng, I'm here to send Long Chen to enroll."
"That's great!"
As he spoke, Liu Zhicheng's gaze fell upon Dragon Chen.
Ever since he first met Dragon Chen a few years ago, he had felt that Dragon Chen was extraordinary.
Seeing Dragon Chen this time further confirmed his suspicions.
The aura emanating from Dragon Chen was far stronger than that of Spirit Masters his age.
"Hello, Teacher Liu."
Dragon Chen politely bowed to Liu Zhicheng.
Liu Zhicheng smiled slightly.
"Long Chen, from now on, you are a member of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. By the way, what is your current spirit power level?"
"Uncle Ye and I just acquired our third spirit ring in the Star Dou Forest, and my current spirit power is level thirty-two."
"Level thirty-two?!"
Liu Zhicheng was clearly shocked by Dragon Chen's words.
He couldn't believe that this teenager, who was just over ten years old, had already reached the War Spirit Grand Master level.
According to Heaven Dou Royal Academy's student strength classification, those with spirit power above level thirty were considered Heaven Dou Level, the highest grade.
In other words, Dragon Chen could become a Heaven Dou Level student as soon as he entered the Academy, and receive instruction from Heaven Dou Level teachers.
Currently, Heaven Dou Royal Academy has around five hundred students, but fewer than fifty have reached the Heaven Dou Level.
After Dragon Chen enrolls, he will undoubtedly become the youngest among the Heaven Dou Level students.
Ye Tianming nodded to Liu Zhicheng, then looked at Dragon Chen and smiled:
"Long Chen, wait at the door for a moment. Teacher Liu and I need to talk privately."
"Okay."
Dragon Chen waited outside the room.
Ye Tianming and Liu Zhicheng talked privately for a while.
Only then did Liu Zhicheng understand why Ye Tianming hadn't sent Dragon Chen to the Royal Academy before.
"Brother Tianming, Long Chen is truly a rare genius. His future achievements are limitless. No wonder you were so cautious and only sent him to the Academy now. Don't worry, with me here, he'll be fine."
"Hmm. Of course, I trust you, which is why I sent him over."
"Long Chen has such high talent; his strength cannot be hidden. The three teaching committee members of the Academy will surely be pleasantly surprised when they find out. How about I take you to meet them?"
"That works."
Ye Tianming had met the three teaching committee members of the Academy when he sent Ye Lingling to enroll.
Those three were all veteran figures of the Academy, very humble, and Ye Tianming had a good impression of them.
Liu Zhicheng came to the Academy's Teaching Committee and briefly explained their purpose to the three committee members.
Learning that Ye Tianming had brought a young student of level thirty-two, the three committee members were both surprised and delighted.
Liu Zhicheng walked out of the Teaching Committee's door and smiled:
"Brother Tianming, Long Chen, the three committee members are waiting for you inside. Please come in with me."
Ye Tianming and Dragon Chen exchanged a smile, then followed Liu Zhicheng into the Teaching Committee office.
Three elderly men stood in the committee room.
Ye Tianming crossed his arms over his shoulders, bent slightly, and politely said:
"Greetings, three seniors."
One of the old men laughed heartily, strode forward, and pulled down Ye Tianming's arms from his shoulders.
"Tianming, we are not strangers. No need to be so polite."
The speaker was the chief of the Teaching Committee, Dream Machine, whose Spirit was Black Demon, an eighty-fifth level Combat Soul Douluo of the control system.
Dream Machine looked very thin, with white hair and beard, but he was energetic and radiant.
His voice was a bit high-pitched but gave people a very approachable feeling.
The old man standing to Dream Machine's left was a Fatty named Bai Baoshan, whose Spirit was Heavenly Star Furnace, an eighty-fourth level Combat Soul Douluo of the defense system.
Bai Baoshan always had a gentle smile on his face, indicating he was easy to get along with.
The other person was relatively normal, neither fat nor thin, with a very ordinary appearance.
He was the third seat of the Teaching Committee, Zhi Lin, whose Spirit was Heavenly Green Vine, an eighty-second level Combat Soul Douluo of the control system.
Based on his understanding of the Douluo Continent plot, Dragon Chen knew who these three were and what Spirits they possessed, but he didn't know their exact spirit power levels at the moment.
He guessed that at this time, all three of them should have reached level eighty or above.
Dream Machine continued:
"Tianming, five years ago, you sent us a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master. With her powerful healing ability and potential, she will soon become a member of the Academy's new school team.
Now, you've sent another Heaven Dou Level student.
Teacher Liu said that this child is not yet eleven years old, and his spirit power has already reached level thirty-two. He will undoubtedly also become a member of the Academy's new school team.
You have sent us two genius students at once. On behalf of the Academy, I thank you first."
Ye Tianming smiled slightly and humbly said:
"Senior, you are too kind. The Royal Academy has the Empire's best cultivation resources and teaching staff. It is my honor to send them both here to study. The current Soul Master Competition hasn't ended yet. Is the Academy's new school team going to be formed already?"
"Hmm, although the overall strength of this year's Royal Academy school team has improved compared to the previous two, it's still not enough. However, the new school team that is about to be formed is not bad. Besides Ye Lingling, there are also two students with good strength and potential."
"I heard Ye Lingling mention that those two should be direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Poison Douluo's granddaughter, right?"
"That's right, it's them."
As Dream Machine spoke, a hint of relief was revealed in his eyes.
Zhi Lin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"Brother Tianming, although we are not strangers, the Academy also has its rules. Students who enroll midway must undergo a spirit power test. Of course, I trust you and Teacher Liu. However, I am very curious as to how this child, being so young, reached level thirty-two spirit power."
"Naturally, it's through diligent cultivation. Although Long Chen has not studied at the Academy, the effort he has put in is no less than any other student."
Ye Tianming knew that Zhi Lin was doubting Dragon Chen's true strength and wanted to test Dragon Chen.
He nodded to Dragon Chen, then said to Zhi Lin:
"Senior, just follow your Academy's rules. Please proceed."
