Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 22 The Eve of the Beginning

"Each of the five elemental academies possesses a unique martial spirit and area of ​​expertise. We are both competitors and learners from each other. Through this joint event, we can gain a more direct understanding of the strengths and characteristics of other academies, which is of immeasurable value to our future growth."

"Every gathering is accompanied by an opening ceremony."

"Tianshui College basically covers the opening ceremony for every single year."

"..."

Minglang gave the two of them a general account of the so-called social event.

"You've come at just the right time; the social gathering hasn't officially started yet." In Minglang's eyes, it was good that the two of them weren't late.

"You haven't seen Tianshui Academy yet, have you?" Minglang's face began to turn lewd, no, vulgar, no, anyway, his eyebrows twitched.

"Speaking of which, Tianshui Academy is quite a legendary academy. Among the five elemental academies, Tianshui Academy has the most stringent application requirements, because in addition to water-attribute martial souls, they have several other requirements. First, they only accept female students. Second, they only accept beautiful women. Of course, they also have a humane side; Tianshui Academy is the only advanced soul master academy among the five elemental academies that is open to commoners."

"To date, male students from the five elemental academies consider it an honor to befriend female students from Tianshui Academy."

"So you definitely can't miss the opening ceremony!"

"Yes, yes, Minglang is absolutely right."

"Tianxin, this is something you haven't experienced yet, so you've finally caught up with it."

……

A day has passed, and the once-in-a-decade grand event of the Five Elements Academy of the Heavenly Dou Empire is about to begin.

That evening, Tianshui Academy held a grand banquet, inviting the official candidates from the other four elemental academies to participate in the event.

The candidates from the five elemental academies all attended in their finest attire.

"I'm really not used to wearing this!" Yun Yibai's deep voice rang out as he slightly tugged at his tie.

"Yun Yibai is truly a natural clothes hanger. You look good in anything. How about trying on a dress sometime?" Yu Tianheng first praised him, then came up with a terrible idea.

"Don't even think about it. If you look at me like that again, I'll let you wear it first!" Yun Yibai glanced calmly at Yu Tianheng with a sidelong look.

"Alright, we're already late because we were helping you two choose clothes, hurry up!" Yu Tianxin interrupted their conversation.

To be honest, if he could, he would never want to entertain his two younger brothers. He didn't know if it was because they were too close, but the two of them had no sense of self-awareness at all.

When they officially entered the venue, there were already quite a few people there.

Yu Tianheng was somewhat surprised that the people from the Elephant Armor Academy here were not as irritable as the other Elephant Armor Academy members they had encountered before. They all behaved quite naturally.

Unlike the students outside who communicated more subtly, the five instructors from their respective colleges were very natural in their interactions.

These five teachers are all Soul Saint level experts.

"It's been three years since we last saw each other!"

"Yes! I remember the last time we met was at the last All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"Haha, speaking of this, looking at these students reminds me of how we old guys went through this stage too!"

"But Liu Wanxian, it looks like you've broken through to a higher level!"

"Hahaha, just luck, just luck!"

"..."

After a brief and reserved exchange among the five teachers from the academy, Chen Yan, a teacher from Tianshui Academy, gradually sharpened her gaze.

"Huyan Xiang, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

The conversation among the teachers of Tianshui Academy led Liu Wanxian of Shenfeng Academy and He Hao of Chihuo Academy to turn their attention to Huyan Xiang of Xiangjia Academy.

Xiong Kuohai from Thunder Academy, on the other hand, looked on with amusement.

Hu Yanxiang looked completely clueless. "Chen Yan, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

"Huyan Xiang, stop pretending!"

"These past few days, students from your Elephant Armor Academy have been causing trouble in Water Moon City, bullying and disrupting public order."

"Even worse, some fools have set their sights on the female students of our Tianshui Academy. If you don't give me an explanation, we can tell you that Tianshui Academy is not so easy to bully."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Oh? Is that so! Sister Chen Yan, don't worry, let me investigate when I get back. You know, I haven't left the house for a while, so I really don't know anything about these things." Hu Yanxiang pretended to be ignorant, acting as if he had just found out about these things.

Hu Yanxiang's actions infuriated Chen Yan of Tianshui College. If it weren't for the fact that it was a banquet, given her temper as the dean of students, she would have definitely started a fight with Hu Yanxiang without saying a word.

"Hmph! You'd better not let me find out about this again. I'm telling you beforehand, if it happens again, I'll cripple their third leg and see how they cause trouble then." Chen Yan left after uttering these harsh words. If it weren't necessary, she wouldn't have wanted to greet Hu Yanxiang of the Elephant Armor Academy in the first place. Because the Elephant Armor Academy hadn't done anything decent in Shuiyue City lately.

The teachers from Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy didn't say anything, but their gazes towards Huyan Xiang made it seem as if they had said everything.

The two looked at Hu Yanxiang intently for a while, then followed Chen Yan in the direction she had left.

"Hahaha, hahaha, interesting, very interesting!" Xiong Kuohai from Thunder Academy laughed as he left.

"Hmph!" Hu Yanxiang snorted coldly, he had never been treated like this in all these years.

Not long after, he left too.

Sure enough, once the students didn't see their teachers, they completely relaxed.

"Tianxin, Tianheng, Yibai, you've finally arrived! Come, let me introduce you." Upon seeing the three who had arrived late, Minglang immediately stepped forward and pulled them over.

Minglang introduced the team leaders of the five elemental academies to the three of them one by one.

They then continued to introduce the next generation of outstanding students from their respective academies, including Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy; Feng Xiaotian from the Divine Wind Academy; Xue Wu from the Heavenly Water Academy; and Hu Yanli from the Elephant Armor Academy.

Feng Xiaotian had already begun pursuing Huo Wu, and his gaze towards her was filled with longing. When no one called him by his name, he was completely absorbed in his own world.

Whether it's Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Xue Wu, or Hu Yanli, their ages are all similar to Yu Tianxin's, with the oldest being Feng Xiaotian, who is already sixteen years old.

As for Shui Bing'er, she is only eleven years old and is still a Great Soul Master.
