Arriving at the temporary residence, Gu Xuan entered his room to wash up before following the teacher to the cafeteria for dinner.
Children with backgrounds like Gu Xuan naturally had no need to purchase daily necessities, as everything had long been prepared within his personal storage soul tool.
The teacher was in no hurry to take Gu Xuan to process his campus card or academic tasks. Tomorrow, Gu Xuan would participate in a trial that would ultimately determine his placement—whether he would join the first team of the Emperor Team, the second team, or simply a standard elite class.
Therefore, there was no rush today.
During the meal, they used the standard student cards of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy or the faculty cards of the teachers.
It was worth noting that teachers at the academy were also ranked by level. Ranks 41 to 50 were Heaven Micro level teachers; 51 to 60 were Heaven Reach level teachers; and Rank 61 and above were Heaven Dou level teachers.
Within the academy, regardless of whether they were students or teachers, Heaven Micro level cards offered no discount, Heaven Reach level cards provided a 10% discount on all items, and Heaven Dou level cards offered a 30% discount.
This was the preferential treatment the academy gave to hardworking students and teachers.
This meal was paid for using Teacher Tai Jia's card. Tai Jia was the name of the teacher accompanying Gu Xuan. His soul power was already at Rank 55, making him a Heaven Reach-level teacher.
After dinner, Teacher Tai Jia took Gu Xuan for a walk around the campus to familiarize him with the environment.
Naturally, ordinary people would not receive such treatment. However, Gu Xuan was not only exceptionally talented but also had the background of a Titled Douluo grandfather like Gu Rong. It was normal for the academy to offer some favors.
After all, the academy was not just about cultivation and fighting; it was also about social relationships and worldliness.
By nightfall, Gu Xuan had learned the locations of the landmark buildings and regions of the academy and returned alone to his temporary residence.
Gu Xuan had long since adapted to replacing sleep with cultivation. After a night of training, his soul power had become slightly more refined, and he felt completely refreshed.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Gu Xuan packed his toiletries and walked out of his residence. He had breakfast with Teacher Tai Jia at the cafeteria, and at nine o'clock, he followed him to the academy's training hall.
This was a small-scale training hall that usually accommodated a maximum of one hundred people, as it was the exclusive training grounds for the Emperor Team.
The academy had a larger training hall available to all students, but the conditions there could not compare to those in this smaller facility.
Though it was small, it was perfectly formed. It was equipped with every kind of device imaginable to satisfy the training needs of any soul master.
Entering the training hall with Tai Jia, Gu Xuan observed the beautiful environment and complete facilities. He couldn't help but nod inwardly. One had to admit that, as expected of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the hardware was truly impressive; even a noble young master like Gu Xuan felt inclined to praise it.
At the center of the training hall was a circular arena a hundred meters in diameter. Currently, eight people are standing on the stage. One youth appeared to be in his early thirties, dressed in the attire of a Heaven Dou-level teacher. Although his appearance was ordinary, he gave off a sharp, unstoppable aura.
The other seven were dressed in the golden uniforms of the Emperor Team. Each of them possessed an extraordinary appearance and unique characteristics, yet they all displayed a respectful demeanor toward the youth, showing no signs of arrogance.
Having read the original work, Gu Xuan did not need Tai Jia to introduce them to know their identities. The ordinary-looking yet stern youth was naturally the genius first mentioned in the story, Qin Ming. At his debut in the original work, he was thirty-four years old at Rank 63, said to be the second youngest Soul Emperor with the potential to break through to the Titled Douluo realm in the future.
However, these were characters whose settings were wildly changed by the author. By the later stages of the story, Qin Ming's talent was not particularly significant, let alone being the "second youngest Soul Emperor."
In the original story, Qin Ming's debut was with the Emperor Team at the Great Spirit Arena in Suotuo City, which would occur more than a year from now. A year later, Ning Rongrong would be twelve years old; in the original, she went to Shrek Academy at twelve, and after a few months of study, they encountered the Emperor Team and used them as "experience points" to level up.
From then on, the rise of the Shrek Seven Devils truly began, as that battle brought Tang San and Dugu Yan into contact.
Afterward, under the arrangements of "destiny," they met Dugu Bo. It followed the classic scene of the protagonist being suppressed by a powerhouse, only for a turning point to arrive just as they were about to perish, leading to a friendship where the protagonist reaped a massive opportunity.
It was precisely because of meeting Dugu Bo that Tang San discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, after which his path as the "Sea God Tang San" became unstoppable until he attained godhood.
Of course, based on all this, Gu Xuan had a rough idea of the current ages of Qin Ming and the Emperor Team. Although there were some discrepancies from what he had imagined, it wasn't a big deal. After all, the current Tang San could not interfere with him in any way.
Currently, Qin Ming was thirty-two years old at Rank 61. Having just broken through Rank 60 and obtained his soul ring, he had been promoted to a Heaven Dou level teacher and officially became the leader of the Emperor Team's first team. It was a case of a genius teacher leading genius students; this generation of the Emperor Team was held in high regard by the academy.
At this moment, only Qin Ming and the seven members of the first team were in the training hall. The arrival of Gu Xuan and Tai Jia naturally drew their attention.
Not only the team members, but even Qin Ming turned his head to observe Gu Xuan.
The three board members had told Qin Ming about Gu Xuan last night. Qin Ming was a fair and rigorous person; although he knew Gu Xuan's background, he would not let Gu Xuan fill a spot just to make up the numbers if he failed to meet the requirements today.
He had just gathered the Emperor Team to announce Gu Xuan's arrival, and he hadn't expected the boy to arrive just as he finished speaking.
But it was for the best, as Yu Tianheng was already itching for action.
Qin Ming hadn't actually revealed Gu Xuan's identity at first; he had only introduced his soul power rank and martial soul, telling them to send one person to test him later.
However, Qin Ming had forgotten one thing. Gu Xuan's martial soul was too unique; it was the only one of its kind on the entire continent, belonging to the family of Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Aside from their family's Bone Dragon martial soul, no other Bone Dragon had been heard of elsewhere.
This was because Gu Rong's martial soul was a mutation that had been passed down.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng became interested the moment he realized Gu Xuan's identity. Although his soul power was already at Rank 37—a full four ranks higher than Gu Xuan's—it didn't stop him from wanting to test the newcomer.
Moreover, he wanted to see exactly what level Gu Xuan was at. His grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, had once mentioned to him that there were very few beast martial souls in the world that could stand on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and the Bone Dragon happened to be one of them.
One had to know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was a true dragon martial soul and held the title of the number one beast martial soul in the world. Yu Tianheng wanted to see exactly what was so powerful about this Bone Dragon.
In fact, in Gu Xuan's view, the Bone Dragon was not truly a beast martial soul. If one had to categorize it, it was a mutated Body Martial Soul. After all, his martial soul was his own set of bones; it was just that these bones had mutated and evolved into dragon bones during his awakening.
These dragon bones had no set attribute or level; they would simply continue to evolve and grow stronger as the soul master's strength progressed. As for where the limit lay, it was currently unknown. Gu Rong was only the first generation of Bone Dragon possessors, and he was currently only Rank 96; it was not impossible for him to take a further step in the future.
Currently, judging by quality, Gu Rong's Bone Dragon had evolved at least to the level of a true dragon. Furthermore, his soul power was one rank higher than Yu Yuanzhen's, making his strength even more terrifying.
