Chapter 117 Arrival
"Ugh, I'm so full—" Mu Chen, having eaten and drunk his fill, slumped onto the sofa and stretched. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he said to Qian Yuhan, who was still fighting on the front lines, "Fourth brother, this is for you. You weren't quite right back then, and you forgot about this..."
After speaking, he took out a soul bone emitting a dark purple light from his storage soul tool. This was the right arm bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had been left on Harley's body after he killed him!
"What is this?" Qian Yuhan looked at the soul bone that was emitting a purplish-black light and couldn't help but feel confused. He really couldn't remember it.
Qian Yuhan had almost no memory of the details of the battle; she only knew that she had killed Harley, but she couldn't recall how she had done it.
Seeing Qian Yuhan's confused look, Mu Chen was also taken aback: "Huh? Fourth brother, you don't remember??"
Qian Yuhan shook her head.
Mu Chen said, "Holy crap, I really don't remember! Wow, he took down that bastard in four moves, so cool! Yeah, yeah—"
"It's just that the aura is a bit terrifying—" Tang Chen said at this moment.
Tang Xuan and Fang Ya nodded in agreement. Unlike Mu Chen, they hadn't rushed to Han Xue's side to witness the whole process. They had only rested and adjusted on the spot. However, they had truly felt the pressure and terrifying aura emanating from Qian Yuhan. To be precise, everyone in the support team nearby had felt it.
“Indeed, Fourth Brother, did you use some secret technique? Otherwise, how could you possibly fight against a Soul Saint with only the cultivation of a Soul Sect Master…” Tang Xuan said.
Qian Yuhan pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know what happened either—"
In reality, Qian Yuhan knew that his second martial soul—the Asura Demon Sword—had awakened, granting him a portion of the so-called "Asura God Power." It was only with this sliver of Asura God Power that he was able to defeat Harley. However, Qian Yuhan did not intend to tell anyone else about this.
"Then I'll return this soul bone to its rightful owner. As for what to do with it, Fourth Brother, you can decide for yourself." Mu Chen handed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger right arm bone to Qian Yuhan, who then stored it in the Cold Heart Dragon God Golden Bracelet, waiting for an opportunity to let Zhao Ke see if he could absorb it.
This soul bone is clearly unsuitable for a soul master like Qian Yuhan with the ultimate light attribute; forcibly absorbing it would likely do him no good.
Fang Ya and Ouyang Luoxue sat together. Fang Ya then asked, "Sister Luoxue, you're a third-year student at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Could you tell us about your academy? Teacher Yu gave me a brief overview before we came, but I feel my understanding isn't comprehensive enough. Tell us more—"
Just as Qian Yuhan finished putting away the soul bone and picked up her knife and fork to continue eating, she became interested upon hearing Fang Ya's words. Although Yu Ziyang had told her about the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy when he came to her house last time, Qian Yuhan was now very curious about what the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was like in the eyes of the students.
Mu Chen also returned to his chair from the sofa, while Tang Xuan and Tang Chen nodded in curiosity as they chewed on their food.
Ouyang Luoxue smiled and said, "No problem. In fact, on paper, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is quite different from the Spirit Hall Academy. For students, the gap is quite large. The strong are truly strong, and the weak are undeniably weak. Heaven Dou Royal Academy carries the name of 'Royal,' so naturally, there are royal nobles studying there. This has led to some spoiled royal children disrupting the academic atmosphere. The academy is aware of this, so it simply divided the academy into two: the Royal Class, which gathers royals and nobles, and the Common Jade Class, which is provided for ordinary spirit master families."
Ouyang Luoxue took a sip of juice and continued, "Well, people usually refer to each other as Royal Level and Common Level, instead of using that meaningless official jargon. The academy also holds various Soul Fighting Competitions from time to time, and Common Level students who achieve good rankings will have the opportunity to advance to Royal Level."
Fang Ya then asked, "Is there a big difference between the Royal level and the Common level?"
Ouyang Luoxue shook her head and said, "Me? I'm just a commoner!"
Apart from Qian Yuhan, everyone else was completely bewildered. They had all witnessed the scene in Yelin City where Ouyang Luoxue met the Prince Xueyu. Ouyang Luoxue and Prince Xueyu had such a close relationship, yet she was only a "commoner" at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Qian Yuhan already knew about it when she was chatting with Yu Ziyang before, so she didn't react as dramatically.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Ouyang Luoxue smiled slightly and said, "You're quite surprised, aren't you? Actually, in terms of strength, the students at the common level are much stronger than the students at the royal level, and the academy's teaching is also more biased towards the common level."
At this moment, Mu Chen asked in confusion, "If that's the case, then are there still ordinary students who want to go to the royal level?"
Ouyang Luoxue said, "Of course, there are plenty of people like that! The reason they're scrambling to get into the Royal Rank is simply to connect with the truly elite. Think about it: if you build a good relationship with a Royal Rank student, and have a Royal Rank brother, maybe that person will become a prince in some vassal state right after graduation. Wouldn't you instantly rise to prominence along with them? Even if they completely ignore you and look down on you, there might be a few who value loyalty and friendship—"
"So I suggest you come to the Commoner level. Going to the Royal level would be a complete waste of your talents. Besides, the various formalities in the Royal level are simply—" When Ouyang Luoxue mentioned this, her expression became very disdainful and disgusted. "I couldn't stand it, and those lunatics kept bothering me from time to time, so I had my family transfer me to the Commoner level class so I could focus on studying and cultivating."
"The academy also encourages students to participate in off-campus battles at the Ice God Arena in Heaven Dou City. Participating in off-campus battles earns extra points, which are used to acquire cultivation resources. These points can be exchanged for usage time in the simulated training ground, various soul tools, and pills. You must take the simulated training ground very seriously; this venue is arguably the foundation upon which Heaven Dou Royal Academy stands on the entire continent—"
"Miss, we're almost there," a guard reminded her.
Ouyang Luoxue nodded, "Everyone, see you at the academy when school starts. Come find me then, and I'll give you a proper introduction—"
Then everyone remembered the concept of time. They had been having a blast since boarding the airship, and only went up to the second floor for a big meal when they were tired. It was indeed about time.
"Kids, we're almost there. Go back to your rooms and get your things ready," Han Xue reminded them, having been notified herself.
Half an hour later, the airship slowly came to a stop, the cabin door opened, and Prince Xueyu left first, followed by the others who disembarked one after another.
After disembarking from the airship, Ouyang Luoxue bid farewell to everyone and returned to the Ice God Sect with the guards; Han Xue, led by the reception staff arranged by Prince Xueyu, boarded the soul guide vehicle and drove Qian Yuhan and the others towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After leaving the Royal Airship area, walk along a winding alley, and on your right you will see a magnificent, luxurious, and enormous castle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace on your right. The road we are on now is the First Avenue of Heaven Dou, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is located on the east side of the middle section of this First Avenue of Heaven Dou," the receptionist introduced.
Qian Yuhan had visited Tiandou City twice before, so she had naturally seen the Tiandou Imperial Palace first. Tang Xuan and Tang Chen had also accompanied their father to the Tiandou Imperial Palace for events. However, Mu Chen and Fang Ya were seeing such a beautiful and grand castle for the first time, and they were utterly astonished.
The street scenes along the way also caught their eye. The many shops and the crowds of citizens and tourists made the entire Tiandou City lively and extraordinary.
"This feeling is amazing!" Mu Chen said slowly.
After driving south along the First Avenue of Tiandou for about half an hour, the receptionist announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the Tiandou Royal Academy."
