“It’s a pity it can only replicate Tool Spirits. If it could replicate any Spirit, that would be perfect,” Bai Baoshan said regretfully.
Zhi Lin retorted, “You’re even feeling sorry for others. How can there be absolute perfection in this world?”
“Alas!” Bai Baoshan gave an awkward smile.
Meng Shenji looked at Li Tian and said, “Your Majesty specifically instructed that any of your requests in the Academy should be fulfilled as much as possible. So, whatever you need, just ask.”
Li Tian thought for a moment: “Could you provide me with a dormitory? It would save me the trouble of running back and forth.”
Heaven Dou City was neither too far nor too close.
It was impossible for Li Tian to commute back and forth every day, so having a dormitory would be much more convenient.
“A small matter,” Meng Shenji said. “Even if you didn’t ask, I would have arranged it. Running back and forth is indeed quite troublesome.”
Li Tian said, “Thank you, Dean. There’s nothing else.”
Meng Shenji took out a square card: “This is the access card for your dormitory. I will have someone take you to your dormitory later.”
“Okay, thank you, Dean.” Li Tian took the access card and curiously examined it, finding it somewhat similar to a hotel room card.
Dormitories even used access cards now. As expected of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Meng Shenji said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet your teacher first, and your companions for the next few years.”
Li Tian nodded.
Qian Renxue said at this moment, “You should Cultivate well in the Academy. I’ll head back now.”
Li Tian: “Your Highness, take care!”
Qian Renxue nodded and turned to leave, and Li Tian also followed Meng Shenji out of the office.
Meng Shenji introduced things as they walked.
The hillside they were on was the main campus, and the areas up and down the mountain were mostly simulated Cultivation grounds.
There were also some by the lake at the foot of the mountain.
The main campus also had administrative buildings, teaching buildings, dormitories, a canteen, and other structures.
“That’s the Spirit Combat Zone,” Meng Shenji said, pointing to a large, but not very tall, square building in the distance.
“Within the Spirit Combat Zone, there are nine Spirit Combat Arenas, and each Spirit Combat Arena has nine battle rings, totaling eighty-one battle rings. Every battle ring is built strictly according to the standards of the Spirit Master Tournament.”
Meng Shenji, fearing Li Tian might not know the Spirit Master Tournament standards, specifically explained them.
A circular battle ring ten meters high and thirty meters in diameter was the basic standard for the Spirit Master Tournament, in addition to the strength of the battle ring and so on.
The Spirit Combat Arena was an open-air structure.
Meng Shenji stated that in real combat, even the weather was a factor that must be considered.
Furthermore, spectator stands were also set up around each battle ring.
After all, the Academy sometimes held competitions to motivate everyone.
Inside the Spirit Combat Arena, most of the battle rings had students, either engaging in one-on-one duels or team battles.
Meng Shenji led Li Tian to the third battle ring in the fourth Spirit Combat Zone.
On the battle ring, two complete teams were fighting. One team was slightly older, while the other was clearly younger, but they were all Spirit Grandmasters.
Among them, Li Tian saw two people with very distinct personal characteristics.
A short-haired girl with purple hair and green eyes, exuding heroic Spirit.
A mysterious girl with long, waterfall-like blue hair and a veil covering her face.
Their identities were obvious. They were undoubtedly Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, which was also confirmed by their Spirits.
“Qin Ming!” Before Li Tian could observe the others, Meng Shenji’s shout shifted his gaze.
“Dean Meng Shenji!” A middle-aged man, appearing to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an ordinary appearance and simple black hair, jogged over.
Qin Ming glanced at Li Tian, feeling a bit confused.
As an Advanced Spirit Master Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy required at least completion of an Elementary Spirit Master Academy to enroll, which meant being twelve years old.
This little guy didn’t look like he was fully twelve years old at all. Could he be a Genius specially recruited?
Meng Shenji pointed at him and introduced, “This is your future teacher, Teacher Qin Ming. Don’t let his youth fool you; he is already a Rank 51 Spirit King.”
“Hello, Teacher Qin. My name is Li Tian.” As he greeted him, Li Tian couldn’t help but wonder if he was already Rank 51 now.
He remembered that in the original work, the other party had just broken through to Spirit Emperor not long before his appearance.
This meant that in the next six years, he would only increase his spirit power by nine Ranks.
Was the Cultivation speed of a Spirit King already this slow? However, upon closer thought, it seemed normal; after all, not everyone was a protagonist.
With his talent, at most, he could reach Spirit Douluo.
“Hello!” Qin Ming nodded.
Meng Shenji introduced, “Li Tian is a specially recruited Innate full spirit power Genius. Although he is a bit young, his spirit power Rank is already fourteen. He might even catch up to Yu Tianheng and the others.”
Qin Ming’s eyes lit up. He had guessed Li Tian was a Genius, but he hadn’t expected him to be such a Genius. He was actually Innate full spirit power.
“Dean Meng Shenji, rest assured, I will teach him well and will not let down your expectations,” Qin Ming guaranteed.
Meng Shenji shook his head and said, “It’s not about letting down my expectations, but the expectations of Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince.”
This statement was a hint. The purpose was to make him pay attention to his attitude during teaching, as Li Tian’s attire today did not suggest he was someone of status.
“Please rest assured, Dean Meng Shenji, I will live up to everyone’s expectations.” Qin Ming suddenly understood. So, he was someone recruited by the Imperial family. No wonder Dean Meng Shenji personally escorted him.
Meng Shenji said, “You should first introduce him to his teammates, then take him to find his dormitory, let him experience the simulated Cultivation environment, and get familiar with the Academy.”
“Yes!” After Qin Ming agreed, Meng Shenji gave Li Tian a few instructions and then left.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet them.” Qin Ming was not in a hurry to understand Li Tian’s Spirit. It wouldn’t be too late to do so in front of everyone later.
“Bang!” As the two of them just arrived below the stage, Yu Tianheng had just defeated the last opponent.
“Your team is too overpowered,” the teacher from the other team said helplessly, looking at Qin Ming who had returned.
Their team was also full of Spirit Grandmasters. However, there was already a significant gap in the quality of their Spirits, and Qin Ming’s side also had Ye Lingling.
Although Nine Heart Begonia only had one Spirit Ability, that Spirit Ability could allow the entire team to fight again at full strength. It was no exaggeration to say it was seven against fourteen.
How could they win? Unless they eliminated Ye Lingling early, but unfortunately, she wasn't foolish; they protected her tightly throughout, giving them no chance at all.
“Teacher Qin!” Yu Tianheng and the others came down from the battle ring, all curiously examining Li Tian.
“Teacher Sun, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first!” Qin Ming cupped his hands towards that teacher and did not respond to his complaints.
This kind of thing couldn’t be responded to. After all, the reason Yu Tianheng and his team were strong was mostly due to their own abilities.
It didn’t have a particularly big connection to him.
“Okay, you go ahead and be busy.” Teacher Sun glanced at Li Tian, knowing that his team was about to add another Genius.
There was nothing to say about this.
Qin Ming was different from other teachers; he was only responsible for teaching Yu Tianheng and his team because these few people were aiming for the competition, meaning they would be the future Heaven Dou Royal Academy combat team.
