Chapter 60: Various Reactions
"Teacher Qin, do you know this person?"
Lin Yang looked in the direction of the voice, and his eyes flickered slightly when he saw the newcomer.
This is Dugu Yan?
Dugu Yan was tall, even a little taller than Lin Yang, but her figure was not bulky; instead, it was slender with a sense of suppleness.
Her waist was so thin it could be clasped with one hand, and as she walked, her hips swayed with a casual movement, naturally exuding a hint of charm.
Especially her close-fitting light purple cheongsam, which accentuated her long, straight legs, outlining the graceful and tight lines from her thighs to her ankles.
Her bust was not exaggerated, but under the cheongsam's embrace, it showed a rounded contour.
Anyone who saw her would secretly exclaim, 'What a stunner!'
"Yanzi, you've come at just the right time, this is..."
Mid-sentence, Qin Ming's face suddenly stiffened. He had been so engrossed in conversation that he forgot to ask the Blade Demon's name.
"Lin Yang, my name is Lin Yang," Lin Yang added from the side.
Qin Ming's expression relaxed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said,
"Lin Yang happens to be a student recommended by one of my teachers, and he's here to enroll in our academy."
"Speaking of which, this can be considered an acquaintance made through battle."
"What a coincidence?"
Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Yang with a hint of interest in her eyes.
"Indeed."
Qin Ming said, quickly calculating in his mind.
If Lin Yang was of suitable age, he planned to pull him directly into the team after he enrolled.
Not only would it add a powerful combatant, but it would also put some pressure on Yu Tianheng and the others.
Let them know that there are always people stronger, and mountains beyond mountains!
At this moment, Dugu Yan looked at Lin Yang with interest,
"Since we're going to be classmates, can you take off your mask and let me see your true face?"
Lin Yang always wore a mask when participating in Spirit Battles.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, he didn't act coy: "Alright!"
With that, he directly removed his mask, revealing a face that made both Qin Ming and Dugu Yan freeze in surprise.
It wasn't because Lin Yang was ugly, but because he looked too young.
Although his eyes were so steady that he didn't seem to be of this age group at all.
Before Qin Ming could speak, Dugu Yan immediately pressed,
"How old are you?"
Lin Yang vaguely said: "Um... under ten years old."
Qin Ming's eyes widened sharply, and Dugu Yan gasped, covering her mouth.
Under ten years old, thirty-second rank Soul Elder?
Qin Ming stared blankly at the young man in front of him, momentarily at a loss for words.
He had taught in Heaven Dou for many years and had seen many Geniuses, but a Prodigy like Lin Yang was truly his first time.
Even the most talented Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, at thirteen years old, were only around the twenty-seventh or twenty-eighth rank.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ming suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart.
He had to report this matter personally to the three Faculty Committee members.
Dugu Yan was the same; her narrow eyes scrutinized Lin Yang, a hint of thought flashing in her dark green eyes.
"Let's go," Qin Ming grabbed Lin Yang's arm, as if afraid he would run away the next second,
"Come with me to see the Faculty Committee."
With that, Qin Ming no longer cared about anything else. He pulled Lin Yang and walked out of the Great Soul Fighting Arena, while also instructing Dugu Yan to check on Yu Tianheng.
Dugu Yan remained silent for a few seconds. Instead of following Qin Ming's instructions to see Yu Tianheng, she turned and walked away.
A Soul Elder under ten years old—such talent's future achievements were immeasurable.
Whether they needed to win him over in the future or not, she had to tell her grandfather about this.
After the three left, Yu Tianheng slowly regained consciousness from his coma.
A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly remembered what had just happened. Instantly, his arrogant face turned crimson.
He, Yu Tianheng, the dignified direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was actually knocked unconscious by an unknown person with a single slap. This was a complete humiliation!
"Lingling, where are Teacher Qin and Dugu Yan?"
Yu Tianheng looked around and found that only Ye Lingling was beside him.
Ye Lingling tilted her head, her eyes still showing that indifferent and distant look,
"I don't know, maybe they went back to the academy first."
Yu Tianheng couldn't hold back; was he abandoned?
He slammed his fist on the ground in anger, vowing in his heart: I've noted this grudge.
"Come on, let's go back too!"
On the other side, Qin Ming returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy almost at top speed, gripping Lin Yang's arm tightly the entire way.
This made Lin Yang helpless, but he could only follow closely.
Soon, the two arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The guards at the gate didn't even ask, directly letting the two in.
After entering the academy, Qin Ming noticed that Lin Yang seemed very curious about the academy, so he walked and introduced the basic situation of the academy.
"It's vacation time now, so there are fewer students in the academy. There are still some students who haven't left school, and they spend most of their time Cultivating in the Mimetic Cultivation Grounds."
Heaven Dou Royal Academy's biggest draw was its hundreds of Mimetic Cultivation Grounds of various sizes.
After all, their recruitment slogan was: 'There's always one that suits you!'
"I suppose you've also heard some rumors about Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Qin Ming did not shy away from the negative rumors about the school.
Facts were facts; rather than trying to hide them and be ridiculed, it was better to openly admit them.
"Indeed, there are many children of the powerful and wealthy here. Their Martial Soul and Cultivation talents are very good, and with abundant resources, their cultivation levels are mostly decent."
"But honestly..." Qin Ming smiled helplessly,
"They are all just for show. For them, Cultivation is more like a task arranged by their Family."
Pausing, Qin Ming's expression clearly became serious,
"But I can guarantee that these children of the powerful and wealthy do not represent the entire academy. There are definitely not a few students here who are talented and willing to settle down and Cultivate."
"As long as the students are serious about Cultivating, those children of the powerful and wealthy cannot pose any threat to them at all."
Qin Ming was almost explicitly stating that in the academy, the students were paramount.
They would not allow external unhealthy trends to affect the students' growth, otherwise, it would be an act of hostility against the entire academy.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the faculty committee building, a structure that didn't look particularly tall but appeared extremely solemn and dignified.
"This is where the three Faculty Committee members usually work," Qin Ming explained,
"The three of them essentially never leave the academy and are the three pillars of the academy."
Lin Yang nodded.
Qin Ming had the guard go in to announce them, and after a short while, someone came out to lead the two inside.
The two arrived at an ancient and grand reception room.
Inside the reception room were three elderly men, all wearing black robes embroidered with strange golden patterns.
This special robe was a customized exclusive formal attire for Soul Douluo powerhouses, itself a symbol of nobility.
These three were the three Faculty Committee members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and also the core of the academy.
The Chief, Meng Shenji, an eighty-fifth rank Black Demon Spirit; the Vice Chief, Bai Baoshan, an eighty-fourth rank Heavenly Star Furnace Spirit; and the Third Seat, Zhi Lin, an eighty-third rank Azure Vine Spirit.
And as they sat there, though they did not speak, they felt like the center of the entire room.
