After filling their stomachs, Qian Renxue directly brought Ning Bei to the principal's office at the academy.
The principal respectfully stood up when he saw the two entering the room.
"Your Royal Highness, the Grand Prince, Ning Gongzi, welcome to Heaven Dou Royal Junior Spirit Master Academy."
Evidently, he had already been informed of their arrival.
Qian Renxue nodded and introduced the principal to Ning Bei.
"This is Principal Wei Xian. If you have any issues at the academy in the future, you can seek him out."
Ning Bei nodded and greeted the principal.
With the Grand Prince Xue Qinghe's word, all the entrance examination procedures were waived. Ning Bei was directly led by the principal to the third-year class. Along the way, he constantly observed the academy's architecture.
It must be said that the royal family was quite willing to invest in the academy. Mimicked training grounds, Spirit fighting arenas, and entertainment facilities were all readily available. Although not as magnificent as those within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they were sufficient for the students' daily training and lives.
Upon arriving at the classroom door, Principal Wei knocked, interrupting the teacher who was lecturing, and handed Ning Bei over to her.
After a brief understanding of the situation, the female teacher, who appeared to be around 30 years old with a gentle demeanor, led Ning Bei to the podium.
"Classmates, let me introduce a new classmate to everyone."
Ning Bei cleared his throat after seeing the teacher's gaze.
"Hello, classmates. My name is Ning Bei. I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. My Spirit is the Summoning Tower. I am 9 years old this year, and my spirit power level is 22."
Ning Bei had reported his age as half a year older and his spirit power level as 2 levels lower. There was no other way; an 8-year-old at level 24 was simply too attention-grabbing. He had a purpose for coming to the academy, not to show off.
Looking at the purple-haired girl sitting in the second row, Ning Bei smiled knowingly—it was indeed Dugu Yan. He had found her.
A group of young children, already curious about the arrival of a new classmate, had their curiosity completely ignited after Ning Bei introduced his age and spirit power level.
"Wow, he's so handsome. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
"He's only 9 years old and already level 22? That must be a lie."
"What is a Summoning Tower? I've never heard of it."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so rich, why would he come here?"
"Hmph, what's he showing off for? I'll get my second spirit ring soon. With the strength of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, defeating him will be simple."
Listening to the cacophony of discussions from below, Ning Bei felt as if he were in a bustling market.
After a while, the homeroom teacher seemed unable to bear it any longer and spoke to quiet everyone.
"Cough, cough, classmates, please settle down. Ning Bei, please find a seat."
Ning Bei scanned the room and found that there was only one seat available next to Dugu Yan. Perhaps due to her Spirit being poisonous, the young children naturally felt a bit of fear.
Ning Bei didn't care about any of that. He walked down the podium in a few steps and sat directly next to Dugu Yan. The childish-faced Dugu Yan beside him looked over curiously.
"Aren't you afraid of me? I'm known as the Poisonous Girl."
Ning Bei looked at Dugu Yan, who was feigning fierceness and trying to scare him, and chuckled.
"I'm not afraid of you. I've raised many poisonous pets."
Not to mention the snake-type Spirit Beasts in the Dan Tower, the Dan Tower's medicinal fragrance naturally had a restraining effect on poison.
"Oh, you also play with poison?" Indeed, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately became interested, thinking she had found a kindred spirit.
"No, not really. I just know a little about detoxification."
"..."
Dugu Yan looked at Ning Bei speechlessly, then snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"What the heck? Wasn't she fine just a moment ago? Women being unreasonable truly starts from a young age."
Ning Bei looked at the suddenly moody Dugu Yan, his face full of black lines.
He then ignored her, understanding that there was no need to rush into getting closer.
This class, the teacher mainly explained the age limit of the second spirit ring and the effects of Spirit Abilities that various types of Spirit Masters could gain from suitable Spirit Beasts, as a portion of the class was approaching the level 20 range. Of course, none of this concerned Ning Bei.
He nodded off for the entire class, finally hearing the teacher announce the end of class.
Ning Bei stretched and prepared to return to the dormitory to find Ning Tao. He still didn't know what his temporary living quarters looked like.
However, just as he exited the classroom door, he was stopped by several people.
"Hey, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School kid, you're not a support system Spirit Master, are you?"
"My name is Yu Tianheng. How about a Spirit battle? I'm only level 18. Although my Spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it wouldn't be bullying you! How about it?"
Ning Bei looked at Yu Tianheng, who had come to challenge him, with a puzzled expression, wondering in his heart.
When did this guy start looking like a villainous young master? Ning Bei thought, but he didn't refuse.
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the elders had never allowed anyone to fight him in order to conceal the characteristics of Ning Bei's Spirit.
Looking at Yu Tianheng, a hint of interest flashed through Ning Bei's mind.
"Let's go, to the Spirit fighting arena."
Seeing Ning Bei accept the challenge, Yu Tianheng and the few lackeys behind him laughed happily.
"Boss, hurry up, let's teach this arrogant brat a good lesson."
With that, the group simultaneously walked towards the Spirit fighting arena.
The commotion attracted the surrounding classmates, including Dugu Yan. They all followed the group's footsteps and headed to the Spirit fighting arena.
It must be said that the Douluo Continent was also full of fun-loving people.
After reporting to the teacher in charge of the Spirit fighting arena, the two came to the field and stood opposite each other.
However, the supervising teacher began to sweat profusely. He had just received a notice from the principal that the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had arrived at the academy, and now this young master had come to fight a Spirit battle.
The key was that his opponent was none other than the grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Sect Master.
He kept admonishing himself to be 200% vigilant once the fight started. If either of these two got injured, he would be in deep trouble.
"Students, please stop when necessary. If anyone uses heavy hands, the teacher will intervene immediately, understood?"
The two nodded, raising no objections. After all, Yu Tianheng only wanted to curb Ning Bei's arrogance.
As for Ning Bei, he was simply itching for a fight and didn't hold any great grudge.
After receiving the signal from the teacher that they could begin, Yu Tianheng looked at Ning Bei with an arrogant expression.
"You go first. Let me see what your 'tower' ability is like."
In his mind, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the strongest assault Spirit in the world. What great ability could a mutated support Spirit possess?
Ning Bei looked at the show-off in front of him with amusement. It had to be said that Yu Tianheng at this age was quite chuunibyou.
He no longer held back and directly summoned the Dan Tower. Two spirit rings lit up, and a few pills appeared in his pocket. Then, he summoned the Hurricane Hunting Falcon and the Golden Armor War Bear. After the two Spirit Beasts appeared, they stared coldly at Yu Tianheng opposite them.
"Spirit Beasts?"
"How can there be Spirit Beasts? Teacher, it's dangerous."
The classmates watching from the side began to shout and scream, some even calling for the teacher.
Dugu Yan, who was nearby, looked at the two Spirit Beasts thoughtfully.
"Is this his Spirit Ability? So, Summoning Tower means this. He must have collected those poisonous pets he mentioned when he was choosing suitable Spirit Beasts before."
Looking at the two Spirit Beasts, one falcon and one bear, Yu Tianheng's arrogant expression instantly vanished, and he complained to the referee teacher.
"Teacher, he's cheating! Who brings two Spirit Beasts into a Spirit battle?"
The teacher also looked at Ning Bei with confusion upon hearing this.
Ning Bei immediately explained, "This is my Spirit Ability. After absorbing a spirit ring, I can summon the original Spirit Beast to fight for me."
