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

Chapter 89 The Reputation of Martial Arts Students

The current captain of the Tianshui Academy team, sixteen-year-old Shui Bing'er, had her beautiful, bright eyebrows furrowed. She was an extremely intelligent person, rational, calm, and good at controlling herself. Her joy and anger were colorless, and she was not swayed by emotions or reason.

Just now, she had gleaned some insights from the facial expressions of her teammates and the other teams. She knew Feng Xiaotian, and it was precisely because of this acquaintance that she began to rationally analyze the strength of this newly formed Martial Arts Academy.

"Oscar!!" Unlike the others, the teachers from Shrek Academy, led by Flander, were all speechless with astonishment when they saw Oscar in the Martial Arts Academy team.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang also came to the scene. He did not know Oscar, but he followed the gazes of Flander and others to the Martial Arts Academy team.

"Oh!! I know who they are!" someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.

"I know now. I didn't even realize it at first. My apologies. Lei Long used to make me a fortune."

"Do you know about this Martial Arts Academy that just appeared?" someone who didn't recognize Yun Yibai and the others asked in confusion.

"Hey! I don't know about Martial Arts Academy, but I recognize several people in the academy's entrance procession."

"See that guy at the very front? He used to be really famous at the Great Spirit Arena, nicknamed Thunder Dragon. His spirit was a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. But I haven't seen him at the Great Spirit Arena for over two years."

"And the woman behind him is even more famous. Have you heard of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul? That's right, she is the only granddaughter of the Title Douluo, Dugu Mianxia."

"I don't know who the man following Lei Long is, but the three people behind him were also unusually active in the Great Soul Arena not long ago."

"."

Although Yu Xiaogang didn't know anyone from the Martial Arts Academy, he keenly observed the behavior of the others present and overheard some news. This made him secretly keep an eye on things and prepare to gather more information about the Martial Arts Academy when he got back.

Like Shrek Academy, there is very little information available about Martial Arts Academy.

Within the venue, the most eye-catching feature was undoubtedly the spacious, separately designed area. Despite its large size, this space contained only a dozen or so exceptionally luxurious chairs, arranged in a staggered yet elegant manner, each exuding boundless prestige and opulence.

The chairs feature vibrant red cushions, a passionate yet dignified color that symbolizes nobility and power. The armrests and frames are inlaid with shimmering gold patterns, each line flowing and elegant, seemingly whispering tales of endless splendor and glory.

This space is undoubtedly the focal point of the entire event; it is not merely a simple seating area, but a symbol of status and prestige. Those who can sit here are undoubtedly distinguished guests of high standing and esteemed position.

Seated at the very center of the front row was the true ruler of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye. At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye was receiving fruit as a form of flattery from Prince Xue Xing.

To the right of Emperor Xueye sat a man in a white suit, a white fur coat, and square-rimmed glasses. This man was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the current sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"So the little guy I met that day was him~ Interesting~" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he murmured softly.

"Hmm? Sect Master Ning knows the people below?" Emperor Xueye heard Ning Fengzhi's low voice, turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi, and said calmly.

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and said, "I wouldn't say we know each other, Your Majesty. We've only met once."

"I heard that Sect Master Ning's daughter is also participating in this competition. I wonder which advanced Soul Master academy she is attending?" Emperor Xueye continued eating the fruit offered by Xuexing.

"It's surprising that even His Majesty knows about my daughter's affairs. Hehe, my daughter is unruly and wants to go out and make her own way. I couldn't stop her, so I just let her be. Participating in the competition is just a minor matter and not worth mentioning."

"Hehehe, it's good that young people have the drive to take risks! I hope that Sect Leader Ning's daughter will achieve good results."

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty!"

As the two were talking, the announcer began, "Today is the first day of the competition, and there will only be one opening match."

"This match will be between the second tier of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family representative team—the Heaven Dou Royal Academy vice-team—and a team from a randomly drawn academy!"

"I'm sure this will be a very exciting match!"

Many spectators at the scene still had a lot of confidence in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After all, it was an academy established with the resources of an entire nation, and the home team was an excellent team that competed against the Spirit Hall.

"Your Majesty, these vice-captains are all elites trained by our imperial family, each possessing extraordinary talent and remarkable abilities!"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's boundless blessings and the extraordinary strength of the royal family, the empire's foundation will endure for generations. We will surely sweep away our opponents in this competition and bring glory to our nation!" Prince Xuexing's flattery seemed to come out of nowhere, making Emperor Xueye very happy.

"Hahaha, good, good, very good!"

"It's a pity, the vice-captain of the Imperial Royal Academy could have been even more outstanding!" Meng Shenji sighed inwardly as he listened to Xue Xing's boasting from behind.

He didn't mock Prince Xuexing anymore, because it wasn't Xuexing who drove Shrek Academy away. Although Prince Xuexing did try to stop it at first, he didn't succeed! The students from Shrek Academy left voluntarily after enrolling. He had long seen that the teachers at Shrek Academy weren't the type to stay under someone else's thumb for long, but that didn't stop him from feeling sorry for them.

However, even if Shrek Academy remained at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they wouldn't become the vice-captains of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Meng Shenji, the dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, has far too little political acumen. In the realm of politics, some things cannot be arranged as he pleases.

No one mentioned Shrek Academy anymore, and Ning Fengzhi naturally didn't speak up. His wisdom lay in expressing what he wanted to say naturally; not taking the initiative was true wisdom. Taking the initiative often implies a strong purpose, which is not a mistake a sect leader should make.

"Sect Leader Ning and His Majesty are having a very pleasant conversation!"

"Could Salas be allowed to join us as well?" A blond man in a red robe with a white collar approached. In the Spirit Hall, only those who had reached the position of Platinum Bishop were qualified to wear a red robe.
