Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Touring Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Mo Hui’s Disappointment

"Let's go up the mountain. Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy doesn't allow outsiders in, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a close relationship with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. There are also many branch disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If we just want to visit, we can just say so."

With that, Ning Yuan led Mo Hui into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Along the way, Ning Yuan introduced the specific functions of the facilities at each location, which greatly broadened Mo Hui's horizons.

"Wait a moment!"

However, not long after Ning Yuan brought Mo Hui into Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a voice called out to them from behind.

Mo Hui and Ning Yuan turned around and saw a plain-clothed, ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his thirties walk up and ask them, "You are not students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, how did you get in?"

Seeing someone ask, Ning Yuan immediately said, "Teacher Qin, hello. I am Ning Yuan, an outer disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Although Ning Yuan was not much younger than the person in front of him, he was exceptionally respectful towards him because he had recognized the person.

Ning Yuan is now twenty-six years old with a soul power of only level 36, while the person in front of him, although four years older, has already reached soul power level 56. The difference is more than one rank.

"You know me?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Ming's eyes. He didn't expect the person in front of him to recognize him.

Ning Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Qin is only thirty years old but already has the cultivation of a Soul King, and even has the potential to break through to Soul Emperor in the next few years. Of course, I recognize such a genius."

"I see."

Qin Ming nodded, then asked, "Then, is there something you need at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"It's not me who needs something, but this young brother."

Ning Yuan shook his head, then patted Mo Hui's shoulder and said, "This young brother came to Heaven Dou City to study. He greatly admires Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so I brought him here to visit."

Saying that, Ning Yuan gave Mo Hui a look.

"Hello, Teacher Qin, my name is Mo Hui."

Mo Hui immediately understood and greeted Qin Ming with a smile.

He also remembered Qin Ming. He came from Shrek Academy and was said to be the second youngest Soul Emperor, but later there were many Soul Emperors younger than him.

"Little friend, do you want to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Seeing this, Qin Ming sized up Mo Hui and asked.

Mo Hui nodded and said, "I heard that Heaven Dou Royal Academy has the best conditions among all advanced soul master academies. With such good conditions and resources, students studying here should cultivate very quickly, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Ming touched his nose, feeling a bit awkward.

Mo Hui's words hit the sore spot of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy has excellent conditions, because most of its students are spoiled brats who don't work hard to cultivate, the overall quality of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, except for a very few students, is even inferior to many ordinary advanced soul master academies.

"Cough, cough~"

Seeing the atmosphere become awkward, Ning Yuan immediately coughed lightly and said, "Teacher Qin, we won't bother you any longer. I still need to take young brother Mo Hui to visit other places."

Saying that, Ning Yuan was about to leave with Mo Hui.

"Wait!"

Just as Mo Hui and Ning Yuan were about to leave, Qin Ming called out to them again.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of Ning Yuan and Mo Hui, Qin Ming smiled slightly and said, "It just so happens that I'm free right now. How about I take this young brother to visit Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Uh... won't that be too much trouble?" Ning Yuan said hesitantly.

"Hey~ No trouble, no trouble!"

Saying that, Qin Ming came in front of the two and began to introduce Heaven Dou Royal Academy on his own.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan shrugged helplessly at Mo Hui, and then the two followed Qin Ming.

On the way, Qin Ming casually asked Mo Hui, "Little friend Mo Hui, what level are you now?"

Although Ning Yuan introduced Mo Hui as someone who came to study, Qin Ming didn't think Mo Hui wanted to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy right now. After all, Mo Hui was too young, only ten years old. He just assumed he wanted to join a certain intermediate soul master academy in Heaven Dou City.

"Me? I just broke through level 22 not long ago," Mo Hui replied without hesitation.

"What? You are already level 22?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ming was stunned, and then looked at Mo Hui in disbelief.

"Young brother Mo Hui is a genius, and his spirit is also very peculiar. It is a rare detached beast spirit on the continent."

At this time, Ning Yuan explained.

Detached beast spirit?

Hearing this, Qin Ming immediately looked at Bo Bo, who had been on Mo Hui's shoulder.

He had originally thought it was just an ordinary pet bird, but he didn't expect it to be the other party's spirit.

"Brother Ning is too kind. I just worked a bit harder before. Compared to true geniuses, I still have a big gap."

Mo Hui said this sincerely, because even though his current Bo Bo meditation method had been slightly improved by him, compared to the meditation methods that true geniuses inherently possess, the cultivation speed still had a considerable gap.

The reason Mo Hui could show a cultivation speed not weaker than that of a genius was basically one word: grind!

The gap in speed was compensated by time. Far exceeding the usual cultivation time allowed Mo Hui's level not to fall behind.

However, this strategy was only useful in the early stages. The further he went, the more obvious the constraints of the spirit would become, and it would become increasingly difficult to keep up with the pace of those geniuses.

But fortunately, his spirit was Bo Bo, and Bo Bo was also not stagnant.

According to Mo Hui's estimation, by the time he absorbed the third, or at most the fourth soul ring, Bo Bo would be able to evolve into Pidgeotto. At that time, Mo Hui's cultivation speed would greatly increase.

After hearing Mo Hui's soul power level, Qin Ming was significantly more enthusiastic. Soon, Qin Ming took Mo Hui on a basic tour of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, even visiting the library, giving Mo Hui a basic understanding of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The conditions were indeed very good, but Mo Hui always felt something was missing, especially in the cultivation methods for wind attribute. Although it was only the first floor of the library, Mo Hui could already roughly see the level of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which was much weaker than he had imagined.

"Am I asking too much?"

After walking out of the library, Mo Hui frowned slightly. Was his requirement too high, or was the level of this world just like this.

Most of the places that could be visited had been visited. The only remaining place was the Soul Fighting Arena, so finally, Qin Ming took him to visit the student soul fights at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

However, when Mo Hui saw the so-called soul fights at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, his brows furrowed even deeper.

Although he had long known that the level of ordinary students at Heaven Dou Royal Academy might not be very good, this level was still far worse than Mo Hui had imagined. Mo Hui even felt that he could easily beat most students below level 30.

At this moment, Mo Hui suddenly realized a problem. If the level of most advanced soul master academies was like this, then perhaps he had somewhat misunderstood Shrek Academy. If resources were added, they might really teach better than most advanced soul master academies.

The overall level of the Douluo Continent seemed even lower than he had expected.
