Time flew by, and soon it was the first day of school at Tiandou Royal Academy.
Ye Lengleng and Lin Xiao left Haitang Valley, where they had lived for several months, and appeared at the academy's registration office.
The academy's admissions director took the letter of recommendation from Lin Xiao. After examining it, he immediately put on a calm smile.
"So this is the young genius recommended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Medical Saint Ye. I will immediately arrange for you to be in the same class with Miss Ye."
Lin Xiao bowed. "Teacher, I also want to join the Tiandou Royal First Team. I'm not sure how to meet the requirements."
The admissions teacher glanced at Ye Lengleng beside her. Seeing her indifference, he explained:
"The Tiandou Royal Team is currently led by Teacher Qin Ming, and the team is full with seven members."
"Miss Ye next to you is one of them."
"If you want to join, you need Teacher Qin Ming's approval, but that's not easy."
Ye Lengleng turned around and pulled Lin Xiao out of the office.
"Junior Brother, I'll take you to Teacher Qin. With your strength, you can just challenge anyone and kick them out. It won't be too much trouble."
Hearing this answer, Lin Xiao smiled inwardly; he had already decided who he was going to kick out.
"Senior Sister, is there a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan on the team?"
Ye Lingling paused, suddenly realizing, and tugged at Lin Xiao's sleeve. "You're talking about Yu Tianheng. You're not thinking..."
"Haha! Senior Sister knows me best."
"But Yu Tianheng is our captain, his martial spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and his soul power has reached the level of a Level 31 Soul Master. Are you confident?"
Lin Xiao's lips curled with a mysterious smile, but he didn't respond to Ye Lingling's question.
In the months they'd spent together in Haitang Valley, he had never once engaged in physical combat, so this senior sister naturally had no idea of his abilities.
"Soul Master? He's killed so many he's lost. Even if Yu Tianheng is more formidable than the average Soul Master, it makes no difference to him."
He'd settle accounts with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan sooner or later. Even if it had nothing to do with Yu Tianheng, Lin Xiao wouldn't let him get in the way under his nose.
Soon, the two arrived at a large training ground.
In the center stood a middle-aged man in crimson garb, his sword-like brows and starry eyes radiating a fierce aura—it was none other than the loyal and righteous Mentor Qin Ming from the original novel.
Looking at this Titled Douluo, who had perished in his previous life protecting his students, Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with respect.
Six young men lined up neatly at the side of the field. One of them, upon seeing Ye Lengleng appear, immediately broke away from the group.
She was a young woman with long, dark green hair and a pair of enchanting, radiant purple eyes.
She quickly rushed to Ye Lingling and affectionately took her arm.
"Lingling, you haven't come to play with me for such a long time during the holiday. I missed you so much!"
"Yanzi, stop it. I haven't greeted the teacher yet!"
He said he was going to find Teacher Qin Ming first, but in fact he still wanted to introduce the two of them first.
"Junior brother, this is Dugu Yan! My only good friend."
"Yanzi, this is the junior brother I mentioned to you in the letter. He wants to join our team. You have to help me later. Ask my teacher Qin for a privilege."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on Dugu Yan for a moment.
The jewel in the eye of this Poison Douluo was now looking at him with an inquiring look. The faint aura of the green phosphorus snake venom around the girl was clearly visible to his keen senses.
"Are you the junior brother mentioned in Lingling's letter?"
Dugu Yan tilted her head and suddenly moved closer to Lin Xiao.
"You are really a fan of my Leng Leng! She has never been away from me for so long
"You're not that good looking! Tell the truth, what kind of magic potion did our Leng Leng feed you?"
"Yanzi! Why are you like this? I'm ignoring you."
Ye Lingling interrupted hastily, a faint blush on the tips of her ears. Then she quickly ran to Qin Ming's side.
"Hello, Teacher Qin! I was delayed for a while while taking my junior brother to the registration office. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Then she turned and waved to Lin Xiao
, "Junior brother, come over and say hello to Teacher Qin too."
Hearing Ye Lengleng calling him, Lin Xiao also quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Teacher Qin. I'm Lin Xiao."
Ye Lengleng naturally took Lin Xiao's arm.
"Teacher Qin, my junior brother also wants to join our team. How would you arrange it? He's a genius!"
Qin Ming rubbed his chin in embarrassment.
"Leng Leng, the team is full. You've all been working together for so long, it's hard to fit in a new member."
However, Dugu Yan suddenly interrupted,
"Teacher! Why don't you let him compete with one of us? The winner gets to stay. I want to see what this guy who stole my Leng Leng is capable of."
Ye Lengleng glanced at her gratefully, knowing Yan Yan was helping him.
Qin Ming glanced at the other five team members and, seeing no one objected, turned to Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, right? Tell me about your spirit and level first, and I'll see if I'm a good fit."
"Dragon Soul Overlord Spear, level 24 Power Attack Spirit Master."
Lin Xiao's response caused an uproar in the room. The previously nonchalant team members straightened up, their concerns growing.
This eight or nine-year-old boy's spirit power already surpassed that of some of the other team members. If he suddenly chose them as his opponent, wouldn't they risk being kicked out of the top team?
Dugu Yan teased, "Wow, you're quite a prodigy! Even higher than some!"
A blond boy on the field blushed .
"Dugu Yan... you..."
Qin Ming was equally astonished by Lin Xiao's spirit power level. He clearly wanted to capitalize on such a talent, and he stopped asking for anyone's opinion.
"In that case, Lin Xiao! You can challenge anyone you want. I promise, even if you lose, you can be my substitute."
Lin Xiao turned to look at the players on the field. Ye Lengleng and Dugu Yan were naturally ignored, but he had seen the others before.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo were brothers. Both had the Black Tortoise as their spirit, and were defensive-type combat spirit masters. Oslo and Yu Feng were agile-attack spirit masters.
However, his gaze didn't linger on any of these for long. Finally, he turned his gaze directly to the strongest captain.
"Yu Tianheng, we're both attack-type spirit masters, let's compete! Whoever loses will be removed from the team."
Yu Tianheng's face darkened instantly, having never expected Lin Xiao to challenge him.
"Boy, you're quite arrogant! You dare to challenge me now that you know me? Are you underestimating my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Dugu Yan's pupils narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected Lin Xiao to directly challenge the team's ace, the level 31 Yu Tianheng.
But he was also happy to watch the show. Yu Tianheng had been constantly pursuing him lately, and it was really annoying. If Lin Xiao could really win! It would also be a good opportunity for him to stay away from him.
The air on the training ground instantly froze, and everyone held their breath.
