I really am a Titled Douluo

In the classroom of Class One, the teacher at the podium was explaining, "The forging materials I was just talking about..."

However, few of the students below were listening, and they were softly discussing amongst themselves, "Did you all hear? Today, the academy is arranging a performance match for the freshmen, and one of the participants is Yuanen Yehui, who just entered the Inner Court recently!"

"Yuanen Yehui? I heard she is about to break through to Soul Emperor! And to represent the Inner Court in a performance match, her strength must be extremely formidable!"

"Certainly, Yuanen Yehui's fifth soul ring is a hundred-thousand-year soul ring! She will definitely become a powerful Title Douluo in the future!"

"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring greatly enhances a Soul Master, but... Her opponent is at the Soul Sage level, so it might not be so easy for her to win."

Xie Xie clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, we are still studying in the Outer Court, and Yuanen Yehui is already representing the Inner Court in the performance match. This is the difference between people."

'I even said I wanted to take responsibility! But do I really have the ability?' He thought to himself.

Xu Xiaoyan pouted and said, "Hmm! Teacher Xu is too biased, even helping Yuanen Yehui absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring..."

Ye Xinglan covered her mouth and giggled, "Xiao Yan, if you were given a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, would you dare to absorb it? If you can't suppress that terrifying power, you might explode and die!"

Xu Xiaoyan was suddenly embarrassed and scratched her head, saying, "This... Hehe, I was just joking!"

Wu Siduo said with a complex expression, "The risk of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is too high, even I wouldn't choose to do that!"

She was eager to enhance her strength, but she wasn't that crazy!

Tang Wulin exclaimed, "Just think about it, Yuanen Yehui also went through a very dangerous process to absorb her hundred-thousand-year soul ring. We don't need to envy her!"

Meanwhile, the teacher on the podium, who had been suppressing his emotions, finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily, "Pay attention in class! If you don't want to learn, you may as well apply to leave Shrek Academy!!"

This deafening roar made everyone's body jolt, and they all stopped their discussions...

...

A few hours later, a hundred-meter-wide stage had been set up in the square of Shrek Academy, obviously the venue for this performance match!

And the freshmen, who had fewer classes, had also gathered here, eagerly awaiting the upcoming performance match...

"I didn't expect the academy to specially arrange a performance match for us freshmen. That's really heartwarming!"

"But I recall hearing that the Inner Court of Shrek Academy was severely hit by the Holy Spirit Cult, leaving very few strong students remaining."

"Do you believe every rumor you hear? With the profound heritage of Shrek Academy, how could it be affected by such a setback?"

"No matter what, when we become stronger, we must avenge our sacrificed upperclassmen!"

"Eh, that goal is still too far for us, let's set a smaller goal of not being eliminated in the final exams!"

Cai Yue'er, who was overseeing the entire scene, heard these discussions and a hint of relief appeared on her cheeks...

"These youngsters have a good sense of awareness!"

She had thought that opening up more spots this time would attract many students who were merely trying their luck, but it seemed that wasn't the case!

Wu Changkong, who was responsible for setting up the stage, walked up to Cai Yue'er, and said, "Elder Cai, the stage is almost set up, and we have installed the Defense System soul tool, so it won't affect the new students below."

Cai Yue'er gave a slight smile and teased, "Hmm, it's rare for you to be here helping out instead of accompanying Long Bing."

Wu Changkong's pupils abruptly contracted as he gave a bitter smile, "Elder Cai, you noticed, didn't you?"

Indeed, trying to fool Elder Cai with a name change was too far-fetched!

Cai Yue'er pursed her lips slightly, feeling emotional, "Although her appearance and name have changed, her aura is still unmistakable..."

Wu Changkong asked, "So, the other Elders of Sea God's Pavilion also..."

Cai Yue'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "Yes, the other Elders also know her real identity. Otherwise, why would the academy grant you such a long leave?"

Hearing this, Wu Changkong's complexion turned ugly...

Unexpectedly, Long Bing's identity had been seen through from the very beginning...

...

Seconds later, Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er stepped into the grand hall and respectfully greeted the man sitting on the throne, "Father!"

Then they turned their gaze to Xu Sheng, "Elder Xu."

Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "There are no outsiders here now; you needn't be so formal."

Dai Yun'er immediately revealed a smile, "Oh, Father, you should have said so earlier..."

With that, she hopped and skipped over to Dai Tianling's side...

This action made Dai Yueyan's eyelids twitch...

Aside from his own sister, likely no one dared to act so carelessly in front of their Father...

Xu Sheng chuckled, "Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess, as well as the Crown Prince, seem to share a very harmonious relationship!"

Dai Tianling did not deny it but looked indulgently at Dai Yun'er...

The latter seemed to think of something and curiously asked, "Elder Xu, you weren't hurt yesterday, were you? I heard that Sect Master Mu from the Body Sect even fainted!"

Xu Sheng replied softly, "I'm fine..."

Dai Yun'er sighed in relief, her delicate cheeks blushing slightly as she softly followed up, "Then... Elder Xu, how long do you plan to stay at Shrek Academy?"

Xu Sheng didn't try to hide, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er exclaimed, "So soon?"

Realizing that her reaction was a bit too strong, her cheeks reddened even more...

The time she had spent with Xu Sheng was the happiest time for her, and thinking that there wouldn't be another chance, she felt a tinge of regret inside...

Dai Tianling joked, "Yun'er, your expression almost speaks your thoughts."

She had just told him yesterday that she had come to terms with it, but it seemed she still couldn't bear to part with Elder Xu!

Dai Yun'er grasped his arm and cooed, "Father~ how can you make fun of me like this?"

Dai Tianling took a deep breath and sighed, "I've personally asked Elder Xu, and he has no intentions of staying in our Xingluo Empire; it is indeed a great loss for our royal household!"

Xu Sheng glanced at him, "Your Majesty, though I cannot join the Xingluo Empire, it doesn't mean we can't establish a deep friendship, wouldn't you agree?"

Dai Tianling paused, then suddenly understood his meaning and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Elder Xu is absolutely right! It seems I was too narrow-minded!"

Xu Sheng stretched lazily, casually saying, "Your Majesty, the young ones at our academy are really looking forward to the compensation from the Xingluo Empire!"

Dai Tianling patted his chest, "Don't worry, Elder Xu, the compensation is already prepared! It will be delivered to the teams that entered the quarterfinals tomorrow!"

After a pause, he added, "Furthermore, since Elder Xu is departing tomorrow, in consideration of my esteem, please stay for dinner tonight."

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I won't be polite!"
