Chapter 78 Heaven Dou Royal Academy, stopped?
Just after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Tianchen returned to Heaven Dou City once again.
Although several months had passed, Heaven Dou City had not changed much and remained as bustling and prosperous as ever.
Sitting on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street, Ye Tianchen held a cup of tea in his hand, his gaze sweeping lightly over the bustling crowd below.
The mirage perfectly concealed his true nature.
That face was so ordinary it couldn't be more ordinary; it was the kind of face that would be easily lost in a crowd.
He wore a simple robe, not made of fine materials, and looked like a commoner boy who had come to Heaven Dou City to try his luck. No one would give him a second glance.
Ye Tianchen sat in the teahouse for a quarter of an hour, drinking most of the tea. He seemed to be doing nothing, but his ears were not idle.
Teahouses are bustling with people, making them the fastest places for information to spread. They're not just places for gossip; they also house a lot of noteworthy news.
Ye Tianchen's trip wasn't in vain, as he heard about Tang Hao's forceful intrusion into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
Upon hearing that Tang Hao had turned the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family upside down, Ye Tianchen's lips curled into a slight smile.
After downing the tea in his cup in one gulp and casually tossing down a gold soul coin, Ye Tianchen's figure had already disappeared from the teahouse.
After briefly inquiring about the location of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ye Tianchen headed towards his destination.
After some time, Ye Tianchen appeared at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Although nestled among mountains, as the highest institution of learning in the Heaven Dou Empire, every brick and tile here exudes nobility.
Just as Ye Tianchen was pondering how to meet Dugu Yan, several young men walked out of the Academy towards him.
"What are you doing?"
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth looked Ye Tianchen up and down, his gaze lingering on his coarse clothes for a moment before his brows furrowed.
Ye Tianchen ignored the other party's arrogant gaze and simply spoke calmly.
"Looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?"
Another student came over, his expression even more exaggerated, as if he had seen something rare.
"You? You've come to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy looking for someone?"
His gaze swept over Ye Tianchen, and a mocking smile gradually appeared on his lips.
"This is truly strange. A mere beggar actually dares to come to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy looking for someone?"
"Why waste words with such lowly people? Hurry up and get rid of him, lest he tarnish the feng shui of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Xue Beng waved his hand impatiently.
"Leave it to us, Your Highness."
A young man first responded to Xue Beng's words, then looked at Ye Tianchen.
"Kid, blame yourself for having a problem with your head. Why did you have to come to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy to look for someone?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Ye Tianchen across the face.
That slap was swift and hard; if it landed squarely, it would have knocked out at least a few teeth.
However, before his palm could land on Ye Tianchen's face, he heard a whooshing sound in his ear, followed by a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and he was sent flying backward uncontrollably.
"You dare to fight back?! You...!"
Before he could finish speaking, the remaining youths, including Xue Beng, were all kicked by Ye Tianchen and sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
When they struggled to get up again, their once neat pale yellow school uniforms were now covered in dust, and their meticulously styled hair was covered with grass clippings, making them look extremely disheveled.
Ye Tianchen stood there, watching the few people struggling to get up, his face as calm as ever.
"Now it seems that you look more like beggars than I do."
"You just wait!"
After leaving behind a harsh remark, Xue Beng hurriedly ran into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, escorted by his companions.
Soon, the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.
Xue Beng and his group reappeared, but this time, they were accompanied by a middle-aged man dressed in a silver outfit.
The middle-aged man was about forty years old, with a stern face. He walked out with his hands behind his back and a measured gait.
His robes were neat and crisp, his chin slightly raised, and when his gaze swept over Ye Tianchen, it carried undisguised arrogance.
Xue Beng and his companions followed behind him, pointing at Ye Tianchen and chattering away.
The middle-aged man nodded from time to time, but an impatient look gradually appeared on his face.
"Alright."
He waved his hand, stopping the students from making a racket.
Then, he walked to a stop five meters in front of Ye Tianchen and looked down at the poorly dressed boy.
"It's you..."
He spoke, his voice cold and hard.
"You injured His Highness Xue Beng and my students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Ye Tianchen looked at him without saying a word.
The middle-aged man waited for a moment but received no response, so he frowned.
"I'm asking you a question."
Ye Tianchen remained silent.
It seems that a bigger commotion is needed to summon Dugu Yan.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly took a step forward.
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
Before he could react, Ye Tianchen had already rushed towards him.
Being attacked by Ye Tianchen, the middle-aged man, Wang Mufeng, a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, was furious.
He, a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and a level 53 Soul King, was actually attacked by a commoner boy who appeared out of nowhere.
In his view, when faced with his questioning, such lowly commoners should kneel down in fear and apologize.
To launch an attack? That was the greatest insult to him!
"Court death!"
He roared, and his soul power surged wildly within him!
Pale blue soul power surged out like a tide, causing his silver outfit to flutter wildly.
Five spirit rings slowly rose beneath his feet—
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!
Five Rings Soul King!
Immediately afterward, changes began to occur on the top of his head.
A pair of spiraling ram horns, almost the size of his head, emerged from his sides, ice blue in color and sharp as cones.
The moment the ram's horns appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted, as if the air itself were about to freeze!
Almost simultaneously, the second hundred-year spirit ring beneath his feet emitted a pale yellow light.
"Second Spirit Skill, Ice Crystal Protection!"
Pale blue soul power surged from his hands and rapidly condensed in front of him.
The moisture in the air froze into tiny ice crystals, which, guided by soul power, piled up layer upon layer, and in the blink of an eye, an octagonal shield resembling snowflakes took shape.
The shield was crystal clear, gleaming with a faint blue light, and looked incredibly sturdy.
Wang Mufeng sneered.
The moment Ye Tianchen rushed towards him, he had already sensed the other party's soul power level—level 43, Soul Sect.
Sensing Ye Tianchen's soul power level, Wang Mufeng was clearly stunned for a moment. To achieve the Soul Sect level at such a young age, the other party's identity might be more than just that of a commoner.
However, as a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he would undoubtedly prioritize defending the reputation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Therefore, he planned to first subdue Ye Tianchen before slowly inquiring about his background.
