On this day, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was brightly decorated.
It looked festive.
Even the emperor of a nation, Emperor Xueye, personally attended the celebration.
The three teaching committee members were in high spirits, looking radiant, as if they had become several years younger.
Their heads were slightly raised, exuding an air of arrogance!
"Zhongli, why did Chiyu become the disciple of these three old men?"
Paimon asked, looking at Zhongli with a puzzled expression while eating.
After a moment of silence, Zhongli said, "They may not be the strongest teachers, nor the most suitable teachers, but they are the most responsible teachers."
Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin truly taught Chiyu without reservation, and at the same time, they had no ill intentions, only wanting to cultivate Chiyu into a strong person!
Of course, they weren't without anything; as people get older, what they value most is a little bit of reputation.
Look at them now…
Don't underestimate these three education committee members just because they're only Soul Douluos and have no real power in the Heaven Dou Empire. They are Xue Ye's confidants!
If not, why would they be the heads of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?
Is it simply because they are Soul Douluos?
A soul bone over 95,000 years old, letting them take it away…
What a test that is for a Soul Douluo!
They talk about the empire and the academy all the time, and their actions reflect that.
What ulterior motives could they possibly have?
"The most responsible teacher?"
Paimon scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Are there any teachers who aren't responsible?"
This question made Zhong Li fall silent.
After a long while, he said, "Being a teacher means not only teaching students knowledge and survival skills, but also teaching them the right values. They have all done a great job in this regard."
Forget about values like "not causing trouble is mediocrity.
" "Oh."
Paimon nodded as if he understood, then stopped talking and began to eat and drink heartily.
At their table, it was just her and Zhong Li. Zhong Li was very easy to feed; a little tea was enough.
The rest of the food was all prepared by her!
Those attending this "apprenticeship ceremony" weren't just locals from Tian Dou City; many "outsiders" were also there.
"Grandpa, what's the deal with these three education commissioners?"
"They're Soul Douluo level experts, just like you. Why are they acting so arrogantly?"
Hearing this, the fiery-haired old man shook his head, looking at his granddaughter with some affection, and said, "Huo Wu, you're absolutely right about the last sentence. They are indeed showing off!"
"Sigh?"
"Sigh..."
The old man sighed. He couldn't understand where these three old men had found such monstrous disciples!
Personal disciples, and also closed-door disciples!
Three people simultaneously accepting one person as a disciple—this was incredibly unusual in the entire Douluo Continent.
Yet these three old men, who valued honor more than life itself, had done it.
No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on!
At this moment, the three education committee members looked around and, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, walked to the center of the platform.
Chief Scholar Meng Shenji spoke first.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this apprenticeship ceremony."
"First of all, I would like to thank the Great Emperor..."
As expected of the academy's chief scholar, his speech was impeccable!
No one could find fault with it.
Especially the Great Emperor Xue Ye, who was all smiles!
"Secondly, I would like to thank His Majesty the Martial God for sending Xiao Feilian to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!"
"This is His Majesty the Martial God's trust in the Empire and the Academy!"
Because it was a formal occasion, when addressing Chi Yu, her given name, Xiao Feilian, was used, not her courtesy name.
Hearing this, many people present were shocked. They truly hadn't expected such a connection!
The person sent to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy by His Majesty the Martial God?
This…
"Today, I, Meng Shenji (Bai Baoshan), and Zhilin, formally accept Xiao Feilian as my disciple."
"Chiyu, come up to the stage!"
The formal acceptance of a disciple, and with such a grand ceremony, was to inform the world of Chiyu's background!
Especially Zhongli, who deliberately added a few more words.
Mainly because he feared the three of them might not be able to protect Chiyu.
At the same time, the formal acceptance also satisfied their slight competitive spirit.
As soon as these words were spoken, a beautiful figure in a white chiffon dress and crystal high heels appeared on the platform.
When they saw her fluffy white cat ears, everyone was stunned.
"Hiss~"
Everyone gasped. Beautiful was one thing, but she also possessed an "exotic charm"!
"Brother!"
Huo Wu, seeing Huo Wushuang's eyes almost popping out, called out somewhat displeased.
"Huo Wu, don't disturb your brother. If he can marry her, it will be a stroke of good fortune for our Huo family!"
Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang's grandfather, said softly.
As a Soul Douluo, he could roughly discern Chi Yu's soul power level.
That's why he uttered such a nonsensical statement.
Huo Wu: "???"
She felt her mind filled with question marks, utterly bewildered.
This girl was indeed a little prettier than her
, Huo Wu… but… she must be weak, or lacking in some other aspect!
No, she wasn't even a normal person!
As soon as Chi Yu stepped onto the stage, the heads of Meng Shenji and the other two tilted upwards even higher.
Their smiles were simply uncontrollable.
"This is our disciple, fifteen years old this year, three months shy of sixteen."
"On this auspicious day, I sincerely invite talented young men under twenty-five to challenge me. I am willing to offer ten thousand gold soul coins as a prize!"
"Take ten thousand!"
"Add ten thousand!"
Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin spoke almost simultaneously as soon as Meng Shenji finished speaking.
Thirty thousand gold soul coins—consider it pocket money for their disciple.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Were these three old guys really that confident?
Today is the disciple-acceptance ceremony, and their disciple is only fifteen years old, yet they dare to make such a demand.
Challenging a young talent under twenty-five?
Just then, the cheerful Emperor Xueye spoke up.
"I'll add another 500,000 gold soul coins as a prize!"
"Hiss..."
30,000 gold soul coins is a lot, but not worth offending the three education committee members for, especially when they're accepting disciples.
But Emperor Xueye's move made many people's eyes redden!
500,000 gold soul coins!
Many strong individuals couldn't earn 500,000 gold soul coins in their entire lives!
One gold soul coin is roughly equivalent to 10,000 dragon coins, so 500,000 gold soul coins...
hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins are nothing to Xueye; compared to precious cultivation resources, gold soul coins are nothing.
"I'll take it!"
A genius?
This is a high-level match!
The mere Heaven Dou Royal Academy is nothing!
