Chapter 58 Selection of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy
The Heavenly Dou Empire, outside Heavenly Dou City, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
As the holidays approached, the academy didn't seem to have any leisure time. In fact, the students weren't in a hurry to leave school and go home for the holidays. Instead, they were all cultivating in the academy's simulated environment, as if they were eager to get started.
Qin Ming knocked on the door of the Education Commission office, looked at the three seniors sitting in the seats, and bowed politely.
"Xiao Qin, you don't need to be so polite. You've worked hard these past few days."
Upon seeing the newcomer, the elderly man with gray hair immediately stopped his discussion with his two companions and looked at Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming has already conveyed all the instructions from the three education committee members to the students of the Tiandou Class. However, it is unclear where the news leaked out. Now the entire school, including the students of the Tianwei Class, knows about this, which is why the academy's simulation room is full of students today, even though it should be a holiday."
Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned about the leak of information.
"It's normal for it to be leaked. After all, very few students in our academy have ordinary identities. The academy selects core members to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. These days, if the students at the micro level feel they have hope, it's not unreasonable for them to train with all their might." This competition is the only thing that can make the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy tense at this time.
"Old Mengtou, I think it was Zhilin who leaked it. He's now obsessed with taking Tang San as his disciple," said Bai Baoshan, who was rather large.
"Bai Baoshan, stop talking nonsense. I was just valuing talent. Have you ever seen a child who entered school at the age of 10 and already had a soul power of level 25? Besides, he can also make such a great use of Blue Silver Grass."
"Your precious grandson didn't inherit your talent, so you can only place your bets on another child. I think you shouldn't bother with Tang San anymore. It's been two years and he still won't agree. I guess he already has a master behind him."
"You fatso!"
"The two education commissioners, please stop arguing." Qin Ming waved his hand with a wry smile and tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, don't let the younger generation laugh at us. Xiao Qin, let me take a look at the list of seeded players that we've compiled so far." Meng Shenji interrupted his two partners' bickering. They were all Soul Masters, and instead of focusing on how to get titles, they had time to argue.
"Yes." Qin Ming politely stepped forward, bent down, and handed over the paper.
"Committee Member Meng, this time the Heavenly Dou Class has a total of seven seeded players, namely Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, Oslo, and Ye Lingling. All seven students have been trained in the Great Soul Arena under my guidance and have a good working relationship with each other. In fact, Tianheng's soul power has already exceeded 40."
"Hmm, as expected of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex." Meng Shenji nodded in satisfaction. "The team composition is indeed reasonable. Entrusting this matter to Xiao Qin is reassuring. They have strong offensive capabilities, control abilities, and even defensive and support-type Soul Masters. This time, they will surely achieve good results in the competition."
The meaning behind "Dream Strategist" is that these seven have been pre-selected to represent Tian Dou in the national competition next year.
"Xiao Qin, where's Tang San? Why isn't Tang San here?" Zhi Lin sensed something was wrong as he listened to Qin Ming's report.
"Um, Zhilin Education Committee member, Tang San is a student in the Tianwei Class, so he hasn't been added to the list yet."
"Tianwei Class? This is a level 36 support-type Soul Master. Why did you think of putting him in Tianwei Class?"
Qin Ming looked troubled, unsure how to begin his explanation.
Meng Shenji said, "This child was recommended by His Highness the Crown Prince three years ago. Because of his talent, Xiao Qin should have placed him in the Heavenly Dou Class, right? But I remember that His Highness Xue Qinghe recommended three students, all of whom were exempted from our interviews and directly enrolled."
Qin Ming nodded: "Actually, given Tang San and Xiao Wu's strength, studying in the Heaven Dou Class or even becoming a reserve member of the Royal Fighting Team is entirely possible. It's just that Xiao Yan—"
"Xiao Yan?" Bai Baoshan was very familiar with this name; among the three education commissioners, he was in charge of student affairs.
This kid appears on the list of students to be expelled every year, simply because he has been enrolled for three years but has never reported to the college.
If it weren't for Xue Qinghe's sake, this kind of student would have been expelled in the first year.
"Xiao Yan had been absent from class for three years, and there was a lot of gossip among the students. After I consulted with Education Commissioner Bai, I transferred him to the Tianwei Class. Because of this, the little girl named Xiao Wu also went to the Tianwei Class on her own initiative. Tang San had no choice but to go with her."
Bai Baoshan nodded. It was indeed his instruction. He hadn't fired the prince out of consideration for the prince, so he instructed Qin Ming to do this.
"What's going on with this Xiao Wu? Why is Tang San abandoning the great resources of the Heaven Dou Class to go and mess around with her?" Zhi Lin frowned.
"Someone like you wants to take Tang San as a disciple? You haven't even figured out who's around him yet," Bai Baoshan mocked.
At this point, Qin Ming took out another document from his pocket, which contained information about Tang San and the others.
"Dear Education Committee members, this document contains information on seeded students other than those in the Heavenly Dou Class. It can be used as a reference for the Royal Dou Team's second team of substitutes."
"Hmm, a level 36 support-type Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass; a level 34 Battle Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Rabbit..." Meng Shenji nodded as he looked at the data. The top-ranked contestants from other classes were almost on par with the Heavenly Dou Class in terms of cultivation. If the academy were to hold a selection process, it would be hard to say who would be chosen.
"Hmm?" Meng Shenji flipped through the pages and saw the last page, which contained Xiao Yan's information.
"Xiao Qin, although I've praised you a lot, there's no need to include his name here. We don't even know where this kid is right now, so he's not really of any value as a reference."

"Commissioner Meng, I believe this child possessed such talent when he entered the academy, though his current cultivation level may be somewhat low. However, as a substitute student, he will surely bring honor to our academy in the next five years. Moreover, when I met Prince Xue Qinghe the other day, he revealed to Qin Ming that Xiao Yan is Master Yan Xiao's only disciple."
"What? Master Yanxiao?" Bai Baoshan and Zhilin looked surprised. They were not usually interested in theoretical research, but they had heard of Yanxiao's influence.
"Oh, Xiao Yan is actually Master Yan Xiao's disciple? Since His Highness said so, it can't be false."
If that's the case, then the child's absence from school must be at the behest of Master Yan Xiao. Perhaps he's currently cultivating under the master's guidance. Coming to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is merely to give face to Prince Xue Qinghe.
In that case, this child does indeed have potential, and Master Yanxiao will definitely let him participate in the competition.
Meng Shenji had admired Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang for many years, believing that martial spirits did have a certain theoretical basis. However, after what happened three years ago, he went from being a big fan of the Grandmaster to a hater, and instead began to praise Grandmaster Yan Xiao.
He suddenly realized why this child, who had never attended the academy, had attracted so much attention from the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, and why even His Highness Xue Qinghe would come to him every six months to inquire about the situation.
