Chapter 370: The Beginning of the Academy Small Competition in Heaven Dou City, Prince "Xue Qinghe"
Lin Yu naturally agreed to Shui Linglong's request.
There was no rush to go to the extreme north; since there was something more important to take care of, it was fine to delay the trip for a bit.
After Shui Bing'er agreed to go to the extreme north with Lin Yu, along with Shui Yue'er, Lin Yu prepared to leave. He planned to visit the Immortal Palace and see if they had received an invitation for the upcoming Heaven Dou City Academy competition.
When Lin Yu left Tian Shui Academy and arrived at the Immortal Palace, he happened to run into Bai He, who was just about to leave the Immortal Palace.
Then, Lin Yu found out that the Heaven Dou City Academy competition had indeed sent an invitation to the Immortal Palace, and Bai He was just about to inform him.
After informing Lin Yu about the competition, Bai He asked whether the Immortal Palace would accept the invitation to participate and whether they would participate as guests like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or as a team of soul masters like the Blue Electric Tyrant Sect and Elephant Armored Sect, who had invested in and established a high-level soul master academy to participate.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu answered.
Establishing a high-level soul master academy in the name of the Immortal Palace was something that would be necessary in the future, but for now, it was best to participate as a guest in the Heaven Dou City Academy competition.
Since they were participating as guests, Lin Yu also instructed Bai He to prepare some upgraded pills as a reward for the champion of the competition, representing the Immortal Palace.
After everything was arranged, Lin Yu left and returned to Du Gu Mansion.
A few days later, the main body at Blue Tyrant Academy sent word that the Heaven Dou Royal Family had also sent an invitation to Blue Tyrant Academy, inviting them to participate in the Heaven Dou City Academy competition.
However, this didn't surprise Lin Yu much. He spent the days cultivating and studying pills, waiting for the competition to begin in a few days.
Soon, the time passed and the day of the competition arrived.
This small competition, led by the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, did not cause a huge stir, as it was just a league for high-level soul master academies in Heaven Dou City. It only caused a ticket rush among the residents of Heaven Dou City.
On that day, Lin Yu woke up early. After having breakfast at Du Gu Mansion, he set out for the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City with Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Xiao Wu.
Like the Continental Soul Master Elite Exchange, this Heaven Dou City Academy competition was also held at the Great Soul Arena.
"So many people! Do you think we'll have seats?"
On the way to the Great Soul Arena, Xiao Wu looked nervously at the crowds of people heading toward the arena.
"Don't worry, there will be seats. Our Immortal Palace was invited as a guest. The Xue Ye Sect will definitely have VIP seats reserved for you three. If not, I'll make sure they add some," Lin Yu smiled, reassuring Xiao Wu.
"Aiya, I really want to participate in this academy competition!"
Walking along, Dugu Yan, seeing many soul master teams in uniform heading to the Great Soul Arena, couldn't help but feel a little envious.
As a strong-willed girl, Dugu Yan was naturally eager for battle. After joining the Immortal Palace, Lin Yu had taught her cultivation methods and martial arts, which made Dugu Yan eager to show off her improved strength.
Dugu Yan had originally attended Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but after the establishment of the Immortal Palace, she and Ye Lingling had withdrawn and joined the Immortal Palace.
So, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling couldn't participate in this small competition.
Unless Lin Yu was willing to acquire a high-level soul master academy before the competition officially started, allowing Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to join the academy's soul master team.
"Yan Yan, you don't have to rush to participate. It's just a small academy league. In two years, there will be the Continental Soul Master Elite Exchange!"
"Our Immortal Palace still doesn't have a soul master academy. Once we set up a high-level soul master academy, I'll let you be the captain of the team that represents the Immortal Palace at the Continental Soul Master Elite Exchange!"
Lin Yu smiled helplessly as he spoke to Dugu Yan, who was eager to join the competition.
For this Heaven Dou City Academy competition, Lin Yu did want the Immortal Palace to gain some recognition. However, the invitation had come too suddenly, and he wasn't fully prepared.
Building a high-level soul master academy in just a few days was too rushed. Even acquiring a high-level soul master academy to participate would be difficult.
But since they were participating under the name of the Immortal Palace, Lin Yu's goal was naturally to win.
However, with his current team, which consisted of Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and possibly Bai Chenxiang and Tailong, it would be difficult to create a team capable of winning the championship.
Rather than forcefully establishing an academy and risk losing face, Lin Yu thought it was better not to participate.
Although Dugu Yan was eager to participate, she understood that the Immortal Palace was still new and couldn't compete unless they were prepared to lose face.
So, when Lin Yu mentioned the competition, Dugu Yan playfully smiled and said that she would wait to be the captain of the team representing the Immortal Palace at the Continental Soul Master Elite Exchange in two years.
Chatting along the way, the group quickly arrived at the Great Soul Arena.
Upon entering the arena, a young man in golden attire with a handsome appearance caught sight of Lin Yu, his eyes lighting up. He walked over with two fully armored knights, a warm smile on his face.
"Excuse me, are you Palace Master Lin Yu?"
"And you are?"
Seeing the handsome young man, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.
"I'm Xue Qinghe, the crown prince. My father asked me to wait for you at the entrance. If you come in, I'll take you to the VIP seats from the back. The staff here might not recognize your identity and could accidentally offend you."
Xue Qinghe smiled and gave a slight bow to Lin Yu.
"Xue Qinghe?"
Upon hearing the name, Lin Yu's mind stirred. After carefully examining Xue Qinghe, he suddenly broke into a wide smile.
"So you're Prince Xue Qinghe! It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard much about how handsome, charming, and skilled you are. It's true, seeing you in person is better than hearing about it!"
