Douluo: Starts from blowing up the spirit ring

"Your Highness, this is..."

The enrollment teacher wanted to explain the situation to Xue Qinghe but realized he didn't even know the name of the student in question!

"Teacher, Your Highness, my name is Su Xing!"

Su Xing smiled at both the admissions teacher and Xue Qinghe.

Seeing Xue Qinghe appear, Su Xing felt relieved, knowing that he probably wouldn't have any more issues getting into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Xue Qinghe, recognizing his talent, would surely make an exception to recruit him. Even though Xue Qinghe was really Qian Renxue, the daughter of Bibi Dong, Su Xing knew she had to maintain her royal image.

"Your Highness, this student, Su Xing, wants to join Tiandou Royal Academy. He's only 12 years old, but his spirit power has already reached level 27!"

"The commotion earlier was because Su Xing is a civilian, and the other students..." The enrollment teacher trailed off, but Xue Qinghe understood the rest.

"A Great Spirit Master at 12 years old and already at level 27?" Xue Qinghe exclaimed. "Yes, such a genius should certainly be accepted at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, despite his background. There was a similar precedent last year!"

"Come with me; I'll take you to meet the principal. I'll handle your admission personally," Xue Qinghe added, smiling warmly at Su Xing.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Xing gratefully replied.

"Follow me!" Xue Qinghe said, leading the way.

Su Xing followed behind closely, relieved. Before leaving, he cast a triumphant glance at the student who had exposed his civilian status.

"Dammit..." the boy muttered angrily but was powerless to do anything more.

With Xue Qinghe stepping in, none of the other students dared say a word. They could only watch Su Xing in envy as he was personally escorted into the academy by the prince. His talent, combined with Xue Qinghe's support, meant that even though Su Xing was a civilian, no one would dare provoke him in the future.

As he walked behind Xue Qinghe, Su Xing reflected quietly. Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, was one of the most gifted geniuses on the entire Douluo Continent, with an unprecedented level of 20 innate soul power. In the original story, she was the first to become a god, but her overly strong personality and desire for conquest led her down a destructive path.

She had hidden her true identity for over 20 years in her quest to take control of the Heaven Dou Empire, a testament to her cunning and resolve. However, she became obsessed with Tang San and was ultimately defeated. Her personality was cold and ruthless, driven by ambition. Unless you could completely dominate her, she would only use you for her purposes.

Su Xing knew he wasn't capable of such a feat — not yet, at least.

"What happened earlier, please don't take it to heart," Xue Qinghe said suddenly, slowing down her pace to walk beside Su Xing. "It's a long-standing issue within the empire. I've tried persuading my father many times that Heaven Dou Royal Academy should be open to civilians, but he still refuses."

"Don't worry, now that I've brought you in, you won't have to face that kind of discrimination again."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Xing replied sincerely.

"By the way, Su Xing, what is your martial spirit? And what's your spirit ring configuration?" Xue Qinghe asked, clearly interested in assessing whether Su Xing was worth recruiting further.

"My martial spirit is a coin, Your Highness, and I don't have a spirit ring. My previous spirit ring exploded," Su Xing explained, understanding Xue Qinghe's motives.

"What? Did it explode? Is there no way to restore it?" Xue Qinghe stopped in her tracks, turning to look at Su Xing in surprise.

"Yes, Your Highness," Su Xing confirmed. From Xue Qinghe's reaction, it was clear she knew about the rare phenomenon of a spirit ring exploding but also understood that such a thing could recover.

It made sense, she had probably studied the Clear Sky Clan closely.

"Then you don't have any spirit abilities? How do you fight?" Xue Qinghe asked, her tone growing cold.

"Your Highness, I've developed my spirit abilities. My dream is to become a Titled Douluo who relies entirely on self-created spirit abilities, without a spirit ring!" Su Xing responded confidently.

"That's... quite the dream," Xue Qinghe replied, clearly losing interest.

"Haha, I think so too!" Su Xing laughed.

"Well, I wish you luck. I'm rooting for you," Xue Qinghe said halfheartedly before quickening her pace, clearly no longer interested in engaging further.

Su Xing smiled inwardly, sensing Xue Qinghe's shift in attitude. It didn't bother him, he hadn't been planning to rely on Qian Renxue anyway. If he ever considered aligning himself with the Spirit Hall, he'd be more inclined to follow Bibi Dong.

Soon, Xue Qinghe brought Su Xing to the principal of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After a brief introduction, the principal was more than happy to admit Su Xing, especially after learning that the 12-year-old possessed spirit power at level 27. The principal eagerly arranged for Su Xing's enrollment.

After handing Su Xing over to the principal, Xue Qinghe left.

"Principal, I'd like to join the Emperor Team that represents Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Is that possible?" Su Xing asked boldly once Xue Qinghe was gone, sensing that the principal was in a good mood.

"You want to join the Emperor Team?" the principal repeated, smiling. "You seem very confident in your abilities — that's a good thing! However, even if I arranged for it, you'd need to earn your spot."

"How can I join the Emperor Team in the shortest time possible?" Su Xing asked, unfazed.

"The quickest way? Simple, directly challenge the team members. If you can defeat three of them in a row, you'll be accepted onto the team," the principal explained, still smiling, clearly hoping Su Xing would succeed.

"When can I start challenging them?" Su Xing asked, his eyes lighting up with determination. This was his chance!
