Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

"This is the area for the Heavenly Dou-level elite class. Our classroom is the one over there."

Qin Ming pointed to a spacious classroom at the end of the corridor, then looked at the two of them.

"It's currently break time, and the students are all in the classroom. I'll take you in and give you a formal introduction."

Chen Jieqi remained silent, only nodding slightly.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, sounded like an impatient child, her tone excited and tinged with a hint of boastfulness.

"Teacher Qin Ming, hurry up!"

With Little Qi joining the team, I'll never feel out of place in the Royal Fighting Team again!

Qin Ming shook his head helplessly, smiled and agreed, then stepped forward, reached out and gently pushed open the door.

At this moment, the students in the classroom gathered in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones; some were discussing the bottlenecks they had encountered in their cultivation.

Some were exchanging practical experience, while others were closing their eyes to stabilize their soul power; the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Upon hearing the door open, the students all turned to look, their gazes immediately falling on Qin Ming, Dugu Yan, and Chen Jieqi.

The conversation stopped instantly, and the large classroom became completely silent.

"Hello, Teacher Qin Ming! Hello, Big Sister!"

Immediately, everyone spoke in unison, their voices filled with awe.

Qin Ming is the youngest Soul Emperor instructor in the academy, while Dugu Yan is the captain of the Royal Fighting Team.

She is widely recognized as the "big sister".

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Jieqi, filled with inquiry, curiosity, and a hint of scrutiny.

They were all very curious about who this boy, dressed in plain white clothes, was personally brought by Teacher Qin Ming, and was being held by the eldest sister's side.

Qin Ming walked to the center of the classroom, clapped his hands, and called out with a smile,

"Class, please be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce a new student."

He stepped aside to make way for Chen Jieqi, pushing him in front of everyone.

"This is Chen Jieqi, who just completed his enrollment procedures today and officially joined our Tiandou-level elite class."

I will also be joining the Royal Fighting Team, and will be a member of our family from now on.

Chen Jieqi is exceptionally talented, a rare innate Soul Master with full Soul Power. We should all learn from each other and make progress together.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of curious exclamations erupted in the classroom, and the way people looked at Chen Jieqi instantly changed.

Someone lowered their voice.

"Could this be the genius younger brother that 'Big Sister' always mentions?"

"No wonder Teacher Qin Ming brought him here personally and he was able to join the Royal Fighting Team directly. It turns out he's a 'monster'!"

"Judging from his age, he should be considerably younger than us. To be able to enter the Heaven Dou-level elite class, he must be a Soul Master."

To directly join the Royal Fighting Team, one must be at least a High-Level Soul Master!

The discussions were filled with surprise, curiosity, and envy.

Chen Jieqi stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Jieqi. I'm very happy to join the Heavenly Dou-level Elite Class and become your classmate. I'm also honored to join the Royal Fighting Team."

"I hope you will all guide me in my future cultivation and studies, so that we can reach the pinnacle of Soul Master together."

Dugu Yan immediately walked to Chen Jieqi's side, affectionately took his arm, and gestured with her chin to the crowd, her tone carrying a hint of pride and protectiveness.

"Listen up, everyone! Xiao Qi is the genius younger brother I mentioned before!"

He's been cultivating alone since he was young, so he's rather lonely and not very good at interacting with people. I hope everyone will try to talk to him more in the future and not bully him!

Everyone laughed, and someone joked,

"Don't worry, boss!"

"We're so eager to get to know this incredibly talented student; we'll definitely make sure to interact with them as much as possible!"

"That's right, that's right! We'll have to ask Chen for more advice on soul power cultivation techniques in the future!"

I heard he's a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, that makes me so curious!

A barrage of praise and friendly words followed, and the once quiet classroom became lively again.

The look in their eyes as they looked at Chen Jieqi shifted from inquiry to curiosity, and from scrutiny to friendliness.

Chen Jieqi looked at the lively scene before him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He didn't reply, thinking to himself...

"Nothing more than talent and strength are the foundation of confidence; the strong prevail!"

Seeing the discussion getting more and more heated, Qin Ming then chimed in.

"Alright everyone, stop fooling around. Break time is almost over. The members of the Royal Fighting Team, come with me!"

"Okay, Teacher Qin Ming!"

Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, Aosi Luo, the Shi brothers, and others in the classroom stood up in response, their eyes falling on Chen Jieqi with a hint of anticipation.

Chen Jieqi looked at the group of people who had stood up and fell into deep thought.

"The gap between Dugu Yan and the members of the Royal Fighting Team wasn't that big originally, but because of my intervention, Dugu Yan obtained the 'Immortal Herb Opportunity'."

This widened the gap, making her a true leader!

Then he looked at Dugu Yan's slender back.

Without time to think further, she followed Qin Ming and the rest of the Royal Fighting Team out of the classroom and headed toward the private training room next door.

Pushing open the heavy door to the training room, a rich aura of soul power rushed out.

Looking at the energetic group of people before him, Qin Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of envy, yet were also filled with anticipation.

"With you all here, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy will surely make a name for itself in the Soul Master Competition a few years from now!"

This can be considered as making up for my regret of not being able to participate in the Soul Master Competition back then.

Immediately, Qin Ming hurriedly greeted them.

"To welcome Chen Jieqi to our Royal Fighting Team, let's all introduce ourselves first so we can get to know each other!"

"I'll go first!"

Before the words were even finished, Dugu Yan spoke first, a confident smile on her face.

In an instant, her dark orange short hair flew up, and dark golden dragon scale patterns quickly covered her arms, as if she had been possessed by a Golden Dragon Martial Soul.

"Dugu Yan - Captain of the Royal Fighting Team"

Eighteen and a half years old, Beast Martial Soul: One-Horned Golden Dragon, Level 46 Control-type Battle Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow and Two Purple.

She was surrounded by earth element, and her soul power fluctuations were steady and powerful. She was no longer the snake-type girl who only knew how to use poison. Now she was the undisputed captain of the Royal Fighting Team.

"Yu Tianheng - Vice Captain of the Royal Fighting Team"

Nineteen and a half years old, Beast Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 39 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

"Graphite - Royal Fighting Team Member"

Nineteen and a half years old, Beast Soul: Xuanwu Turtle, Level 38 Defensive Battle Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

"Stone Mill - Member of Royal Fighting Team"

Nineteen and a half years old, Beast Soul: Xuanwu Turtle, Level 38 Defensive Battle Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

"Wind Control - Member of the Royal Fighting Team"

19 years old, Beast Soul: Wind Chime Bird, Level 37 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

"Oslo - Member of the Royal Fighting Team"

19 years old, Beast Soul: Ghost Leopard, Level 37 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

"Ye Lingling - Member of the Royal Fighting Team"

Eighteen and a half years old, Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, Level 36 Support-type Soul Master, Two Yellow and One Purple Soul Rings.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, apart from the already known Dugu Yan, all eyes turned to Chen Jieqi.

Just how "monstrous" is this "genius younger brother" that Dugu Yan talks about every day?

Chen Jieqi didn't keep them waiting long; the golden mark between his eyebrows suddenly lit up.

The next second, a crystal-clear golden aggregate floated in front of his head, radiating holy light, and warm and powerful soul energy instantly swept through the entire training room.

"Chen Jieqi - Member of the Royal Fighting Team"

Eleven and a half years old, elemental martial soul: Heart of the Naru, level 43 power-attack type battle soul master, soul rings: one yellow, two purple, and one black.

As soon as he finished speaking, four spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet. The last one, a jet-black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, was particularly eye-catching, enveloping the entire training room in holy golden light.

"Level 43?!"

Everyone gasped, and the training room fell silent instantly, with even breathing becoming extremely cautious.

Yu Tianheng's originally booming voice trembled slightly as he stared intently at the soul rings swirling around Chen Jieqi's waist.

His tone was full of shock and disbelief.

"You... your spirit rings... one yellow, two purple, and one black?!"

PS:

The author of this book did a lot of research and, according to the original timeline, Dugu Yan was 19 years old and at level 38 when she appeared in the story, seven years older than Tang San.

In the storyline, Yu Tianheng is slightly older than Dugu Yan, and he is level 39 when he appears.

The Stone Mill brothers are defensive-type Soul Masters; their ages are unknown, but their Soul Power levels are 38 and 37 respectively.

A speed-attack type Soul Master named Yu Feng, age unknown, Soul Power level 36.

Osro, an agility-based Soul Master, age unknown, Soul Power level 36.

Ye Lengleng, a support-type Soul Master, has an unknown age and a Soul Power level of 35.

Since the ages of the other characters are unknown, the author set them to be similar to, or slightly younger than, Dugu Yan.

By the way, give Huang Dou and the others a little boost in combat power. After all, with Dugu Yan relentlessly whipping them, it's reasonable for the others to work hard, right?
