Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 35 Heaven Dou Royal Academy

The reason he's currently maneuvering among these forces is because he wants to improve his strength and have the ability to protect himself. As the saying goes, as long as they don't provoke him, everyone can live in peace; if they do, then he'll have to strike hard.

After finishing his chat, Shi Quan returned to his room.

In the other side of the palace.

Xue Qinghe sat in the armchair, listening quietly to Fury's report over the past month.

"...Your Highness, this child's intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary people. He absolutely cannot be regarded as a ten-year-old child. His wisdom can only be described as monstrous." Fury said seriously and earnestly.

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "I understand. Captain Fu, you've all worked hard these past few days. Take everyone and rest for a month first. I'll handle the rest."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now." Fury bowed and withdrew.

Xue Qinghe leaned back in his chair, a faint smile on his lips, and said, "He is indeed a prodigy."

A tall, thin old man stepped out from behind Xue Qinghe and said, "There are many smart people, but few are as smart as him. Not only is he smart, but he is also not arrogant. He is also steady and tactful. He is one of a kind."

Xue Qinghe looked at the thin elder and asked, "Elder Serpent Spear, what did that woman say?"

Serpent Spear Douluo said, "For some reason, His Majesty only sent people to keep an eye on Shi Quan, but did not send anyone to win him over."

Xue Qinghe looked at the Serpent Spear with surprise and doubt. "Oh? That woman would actually give up such a genius? That's not like her at all."

Serpent Spear shrugged. "Who knows what Your Majesty is thinking? But it's fine, isn't this giving the young master an opportunity? If Shi Quan can be subdued, he will definitely become a great help to the young master."

Xue Qinghe shook his head: "Shi Quan is not so easy to subdue. He may seem amiable, but he has his own pride. Otherwise, how could he have gotten to where he is today with only a first-level innate soul power?"

Serpent Spear said with a faint smile, "Your Highness, if you say so, you must have already come up with a plan, haven't you?"

Xue Qinghe smiled calmly and said nothing more.

……

the other side.

Shi Quan finally had some free time and prepared to check the system's rewards.

System space.

Looking at the rewards from the Destiny Treasure Chest, Shi Quan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of rewards from villains, even the rewards are villainous."

Bloodline Extractor: It can extract a specified bloodline from the host's body according to the host's requirements.

Note: This item can only be used once. The target must be unconscious during extraction, otherwise the extraction will fail. If the extraction is successful, the target's bloodline will disappear.

"Interesting. Could it be that they want me to extract the angel bloodline? Putting aside whether I can succeed, if I dare to mess with Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong will not let me off the hook. I'm so scared."

Shi Quan quickly shook his head.

Although this bloodline extractor is powerful and can directly plunder a specific bloodline from another person's body, it doesn't specify whether the extracted bloodline can be fused with the original bloodline.

Moreover, the bloodline extractor only extracts bloodlines, not martial souls. Even if the extracted bloodlines can be fused, there is some uncertainty as to whether the fused bloodlines can awaken the corresponding martial soul.

Moreover, for the bloodline extractor to succeed, the bloodline owner must be in an unconscious state.

However, none of those with powerful bloodlines, whether human or spirit beast, are weak.

Shi Quan would never use such a treasure to arbitrarily extract a worthless bloodline.

With these restrictions, his goals were suddenly reduced to just a few.

"No rush. Anyway, this bloodline extractor won't expire in the system space, so take your time." Shi Quan murmured to himself, clearing his mind of all distractions before sitting cross-legged and beginning his cultivation.

The night passed in silence.

At dawn, Shi Quan left his room at the gentle call of a maid. After having breakfast with Xue Qinghe, he boarded a carriage that had been prepared and headed towards the Tian Dou Royal Academy.

The Tiandou Academy is about 20 kilometers away from Tiandou City, which is not far.

Xue Qinghe's prepared carriage was indeed large and stable, and very fast. In less than half an hour, Shi Quan could see the mountain peak nestled against the water in the distance.

Shi Quan knew that the Tiandou Royal Academy was large, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with a beautiful environment.

When he finally saw it, he was deeply moved. Especially when the golden sunlight shone on the mountainside, and under the golden light of the east, both the lake at the foot of the mountain and the towering mountain covered with various plants, which was thousands of meters high, gave people a feeling of paradise.

The carriage drove all the way to the foot of the mountain before stopping.

"Brother Shi, let's take a walk together. I'll give you a detailed introduction to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Xue Qinghe disembarked from the carriage and climbed the steps leading up the mountain.

Breathing in the fresh air around him and stepping on the white marble steps under his feet, Shi Quan couldn't help but sigh at the inhuman extravagance.

Each stone step is adorned with a different spirit beast pattern, all exquisitely crafted. These items would fetch a good price anywhere else, but here they're only good for stepping on.

After entering the mountain, Shi Quan felt even better. The plants covering the mountain were like an enhanced version of the back mountain of Notting Academy. The number of plants and natural creatures on this mountain was countless compared to the back mountain of Notting Academy. If he were to cultivate here, his cultivation speed would increase significantly.

This is what is called cultivation resources. Although external facilities are not decisive, they play an indispensable supporting role. Over time, the cumulative effect of these supports is quite remarkable.

Along the way, Xue Qinghe introduced the scenery and the academy.

The distance up the mountain is only a few hundred meters, which is nothing to a Soul Master.

Soon the two arrived at the main campus area halfway up the mountain.

"The original story says that the layout here is somewhat similar to that of the Tang Sect?" Shi Quan curiously examined the layout of the main campus area.

Stepping over the outer wall of the courtyard and looking at the rows of bungalows all around, Shi Quan curled his lip and said, "That's it? It seems the Tang Clan is nothing special."

Led by Xue Qinghe, the two arrived at the largest building in the center of the main campus. Although it was still a single-story building, the highest point of the building was ten meters high, making it look very magnificent.

After listening to Xue Qinghe's introduction, Shi Quan knew that this place was their destination, the Tian Dou Royal Academy Teaching Committee.

Before the two even arrived at the Tian Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee, they could already see three elderly people waiting at the entrance from afar.

"The three major education commissions heard you were coming and they're all waiting for you," Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

"The three Education Committee members?" Shi Quan was also a little excited. He was just a Great Soul Master. How could he be expected to be waited for by three Soul Douluos?

This is quite a show of force! This is truly overwhelming.

Shi Quan quickly quickened his pace and bowed to the three elders, saying, "Junior Shi Quan greets the three seniors."

"He truly is a young prodigy." The slender, middle-aged man stepped forward to help Shi Quan up.

According to the description in the original work, Shi Quan recognized at a glance that the old man was Meng Shenji, one of the three education committee members, the old man on the left should be Bai Baoshan, and the one on the right should be Zhilin.

The main issue is that these three people have very distinct physical characteristics: one is so thin he's practically skin and bones, another is broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, and the last one is about the same size as a normal person.

If he couldn't recognize it, he'd gouge his eyes out.

"No need to be so polite. From now on, you'll be a member of the academy. Feel at home here. You can just call me teacher, no need for any 'senior' titles. Come on, let's go inside." Meng Shenji smiled and pulled Shi Quan towards the Teaching Committee building.

The instant Meng Shenji touched him, Shi Quan was able to feel a very secretive energy entering his body.

"Ah Quan, he's probing your strength," Xiao Meng reminded him in his mind.

"Ah Meng, he shouldn't be able to find you, right?" Shi Quan asked again to confirm. In fact, he had already asked Xiao Meng before he came. He knew that he would be investigated if he wanted to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to find me," Xiaomeng said confidently.

"That's good." Hearing Xiaomeng say that, Shi Quan finally felt relieved. He pretended not to have noticed and followed Meng Shenji into the Tiandou Royal Academy Teaching Committee.

After Meng Shenji had investigated Shi Quan's situation, his eyes lit up noticeably, and he nodded slightly to Bai Baoshan and Zhilin beside him.

After everyone took their seats as hosts and guests, Xue Qinghe first introduced Meng Shenji and the other two to Shi Quan.

Meng Shenji, who was sitting in the center, smiled and said, "Shi Quan, we have a general understanding of your situation, but I still want to see it for myself, so could you let us see your spirit rings?"

"No problem, teacher."

Shi Quan raised his right hand and summoned the Blue Silver Grass. Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, slowly rose from beneath him.

"It really is a thousand-year spirit ring." Meng Shenji's eyes gleamed as he excitedly stared at the spirit ring beneath Shi Quan.

Zhilin, who was standing to the side, looked at the Blue Silver Grass in Shi Quan's hand and murmured, "The Blue Silver Grass can actually evolve into this form."

"Shi Quan, let me see your strength." Zhi Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and after he smiled slightly at Shi Quan, the air around him suddenly distorted slightly.

Before Shi Quan could react, he clearly felt as if the air around his body had solidified, and a massive surge of soul power rushed in, instantly making it difficult for him to even move.

"The second wave of probing has come so quickly?"

Shi Quan sighed helplessly and quickly circulated his internal energy to resist the invading forces from all around.

"good!"

A glint flashed in Zhi Linping's eyes. He knew that Shi Quan's strength was around level 21, and he was very curious about how strong Shi Quan's endurance was, so he directly released level 24 soul power pressure from the beginning.

Despite having only level 21 strength, he was able to withstand the pressure of level 24 soul power, and he did so with complete ease. No wonder he is capable of absorbing soul rings beyond his level...
