……

The morning mist in Tiandou City had not yet dissipated, and the bluestone brick walls glowed like cold iron in the dim light.

The golden iron gate of Tiandou Royal Academy was shining with dew and gleaming coldly in the morning mist.

Sixteen marble columns support the arched porch, and each column is covered with wisteria.

The rubbing sound of the guards' heavy armor startled the gray doves perched on the eaves.

Going up the thirty-six basalt steps, the shadow cast by the gate of Tiandou Royal Academy just covers the last step stone.

The stone swan statues perched on both sides of the porch have pigeon blood stone embedded in their pupils. When the morning light cuts across the swan's head, the two scarlet spots will suddenly become bright, startling the freshmen who are running fast with books in their arms and always staggering half a step.

The wind blew across the glazed wild geese on the triple-layered hip roof, and the ripples created by the copper bells on the eaves were filled with the scent of pine soot, ink and ambergris.

The draft carried the sounds from a magnificent conference room.

……

Xue Shiming, the Tiandou prince who presided over the meeting, had an extraordinary demeanor, with a set of noble yet restrained ornaments cleverly hung on the iconic uniform of Tiandou Academy.

He exuded a special fragrance that was lingering and extremely fresh and pleasant.

The fragrance came from the hollow carved Honghu fragrance pendant he was wearing, which was a truly top-level luxury item that could continue to emit fragrance for decades, highlighting his noble status.

He said softly: "Everyone, please take a look. This is the intelligence we have collected this year."

Xue Shiming, with his status as a prince, the powerful strength of a level 57 Soul King, and the extremely high reputation of being the 6th genius, firmly sat on the throne of the captain of the Tiandou Royal School Team.

He waved his hand lightly, and then his followers respectfully distributed a stack of letter pads made of real white paper (high-grade paper) to the dozen people present.

The sound of paper rubbing against each other and ginkgo leaves scraping against the blue brick floor was particularly clear in the huge and somewhat empty conference room.

Tang Chen casually flipped open the letter book and took a glance at it, and saw "Chang'an College" clearly written on the first page.

He frowned slightly and asked softly, "What happened in Chang'an College?"

This year's Continental Senior Elite Tournament will be hosted by the Tiandou Empire, and the finals will also be held grandly in the Tiandou Empire.

With the right time, right place and right people, the Tiandou Empire has all the advantages.

Under such circumstances, people in the imperial capital all turned their expectant eyes to Tiandou Royal Academy.

People in the past said that sports is a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

The biggest form of entertainment on Douluo Continent - the highest level competition of fighting spirits, which is also the continent's senior elite competition that best represents the military strength of all parties is about to begin.

Now that the wars on the continent have ceased for a hundred or two hundred years, this event is more eye-catching and exciting than any sporting event in the past.

At such an important moment, if Tiandou Royal Academy can win the championship, it will gain unprecedented glory and prestige.

Therefore, they spared no effort to invest heavily and recruit talented people from all over the Tiandou Empire.

At this time, Tang Chen, like Chen Jianjun, was 1.9 meters tall, with a strong physique. His muscles rose and fell like a crouching dragon under his clothes, his eyebrows were slanted, and his eyes were like cold stars quenched by fire.

His ranking of geniuses has jumped to 10th, making Tiandou Royal Academy the only top institution in the world with two of the top ten geniuses.

It is worth mentioning that the top ten young heroes on the Tianjiao List are all top geniuses possessing kingly martial spirits.

Even among the top ten, there are many people who possess the king's martial spirit.

Therefore, everyone in the world says that this is an era of great contention. Xue Chuxin also said that there will be many king martial spirits and super martial spirits in the future.

Xue Shiming's eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Yu Tianya: "Yu Tianya, you come and tell everyone!"

Yu Tianya, a member of the Yu family and also an outstanding student of Tiandou Royal Academy, stood up upon hearing this and prepared to report the relevant situation to everyone.

Yu Tianya spoke slowly, his voice was not loud but clear enough for everyone to hear, and without a trace of his own emotion.

"Everyone, as the competition is getting closer, some changes have taken place in various colleges this year."

"This is probably not unexpected. After all, some hidden cards and hidden hands have gradually surfaced."

"Among the teams we focused on, the changes at Chang'an College were particularly significant."

Looking back three years ago, the team led by Xue Shiming, Tang Chen and others, including Ling Xinyao, Huyan Zan, Yan Zaiyang and other elites, all failed in Chang'an one after another.

That failure was undoubtedly a big blow to them.

The Chen family, which dealt them the greatest blow, became a strong rival of the Royal Tiandou Academy on its road to the championship after taking over Chang'an Academy.

Therefore, the Royal Tiandou Academy established a long-term follow-up investigation mechanism for Chang'an Academy.

This investigation was personally conducted by Prince Xue Shiming.

He borrowed personnel and channels from the Imperial Capital's Xuanniao Division and closely monitored every move of Chang'an College.

At this moment, Ning Zhongtian's eyes flickered with brilliance, and he whispered, "What heroic deeds or strange things has that third place winner done again?"

In school, although everyone wears school team uniforms, these uniforms are high-end and made of very fine materials.

Of course, the descendants of these major forces also carry their own logos on the decorations.

Ning Zhongtian was no exception, he wore a Seven Treasure Glazed Sect-style headband on his forehead. He had a delicate face, eyes as bright as stars, and his black hair was neatly combed, exuding a natural bookish air.

Wearing that gorgeous coat, he looked particularly dignified and elegant, a nobleman from a famous family.

He ranks 15th among the geniuses, and his martial soul is the Holy Light Glazed Tower, a mutated martial soul, but without the restrictions of spirit rings.

Although it has no auxiliary effect, it has powerful offensive and defensive capabilities.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect focused on cultivating it as its own title seed.

As a direct descendant of the Ning family, he has had a long-standing friendship with the top scholar, Chen Xiaojun.

I know a lot about his various rumors and deeds.

Xue Shiming, Tang Chen, and Ning Zhongtian, known as the "Three Heroes of Tiandou", are a 'continental-level' genius combination that is resounding throughout the soul master world and is not comparable to the golden generation of Chang'an.

Yu Tianya's rhythmic voice resounded in the conference room again.

"Last month, Chen Xiaojun led the Chang'an College's middle school team, which is also their reserve team, into Mount Zhongnan for training."

"However, they were suddenly attacked by the Wolf Bandits. Afterwards, the Wolf Bandits launched an entire attack on Chang'an College."

"In this melee, the Saint King-level soul beasts in the mountains and the Titled Douluo of the Scarlet Church all appeared one after another and participated in it."

He paused and continued, "In this battle, Chang'an College suffered heavy damage."

"His Majesty Qian Kun, the Executive Vice President, was seriously injured. It is said that His Majesty Jian Hao, the Patriarch of the Chen Family, was not spared and was also seriously injured."

As soon as Yu Tianya finished speaking, a burst of whispers suddenly broke out in the conference hall.

Everyone was in Tiandou Academy, thousands of miles away from Chang'an City, so naturally they did not receive any news from the outside world.

What's more, they are just students and don't know much about the changing situation in the outside world.

Yu Tianya raised his hand lightly and pressed it a few times: "Students, please be quiet for a moment."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut up and silence returned to the venue.

Yu Tianya continued: "What I just said was a major event, but it actually has nothing to do with us directly."

"But what I want to talk about next is the changes in the Chang'an College team caused by this, which is closely related to us."

He paused, then continued, "This incident has affected the regular players of Chang'an College and the reserve players in the mountains."

“Although no members of the school team died, several were injured.”

"According to the information and intelligence analysis we have received, Chang'an College intends to have the reserve players replace the regular players to participate in the preliminary round in Fasno Province."

At this time, a young man with a round figure and a sturdy face spoke.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said lazily, "Then what are you telling us? The regulars won't even participate in the preliminaries, so what's the point of talking about this?"

This young man is one of the regular players of the Tiandou school team, Bai Tianrui.

He was born into the Bai family of the Education Committee, an eighth-rank family, and his martial soul was the Tianxing Furnace.

At the age of 22, he has already reached the realm of a level 52 defensive soul king and ranks 44th in the ranking of geniuses.

The soft flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly with his breathing, and the brocade belt was deeply embedded in the folds of his waist and abdomen.

There are a pair of narrow eye slits on the round face, and platinum-gold rays flow in the depths of the pupils.

The other person next to him is named Zhixuan, a descendant of Zhixing, a member of the Education Committee, with the Azure Ivy Martial Spirit, and a genius 58.

He is tall and thin, and is inseparable from the short and fat Bai Tianrui. The two of them are very close to each other and can be described as a pair of close friends.

These two are representatives of the seven education committee families. It is not known what kind of relationship they have with Bai Baoshan and Zhilin of later generations. However, judging from their ages, the latter should be their nephews or nephews.

Under the folded cuffs of Ling Xinyao's icy silk, her jade fingers suddenly clasped the letter pad. The mirror-like black crystal table top reflected the beautiful arc of her slightly frowned brows.

"Didn't you say that the reserve players were training in Zhongnan Mountain? Aren't they injured?"

After not seeing each other for three years, Ling Xinyao looked more and more dignified and cold. When she raised her eyes, her cold eyes reflected the light of the sky.

Her fingertips gently stroked the gilded armrest with swan pattern. The nine-feathered ice phoenix hairpin in her hair trembled with her slight movements, revealing her style of an ascetic iceberg beauty.

Although she ranks 12th among the Golden Hairpins and 49th among the Prodigies, she is among the best in terms of temperament and appearance.

Yu Tianya shook his head: "No, they only suffered minor injuries and have recovered now."

"They and some of the survivors in the mountains, led by Chen Xiaojun, won three battles in the battlefield in Zhongnan Mountain and killed thousands of wolf bandits and hundreds of Silver Moon Wolves."

……

Condensate incense is a very luxurious incense. Unlike common burning incense and perfume, it can emit a complex fragrance without being ignited.

This kind of incense is made from natural aromatic herbs and top-grade Chinese medicinal materials, and can be made into aromatherapy (similar to perfume) and incense pills.

It is made into different incense pendants through special craftsmanship, which can last up to 50 years and is a real luxury.
