I really am a Titled Douluo

Suddenly, nine pitch-black soul rings burst forth uncontrollably from Xu Sheng, instantly exploding outward, whipping up a terrifying cyclone around them...

The explosion of Soul Power pressure directly erupted around Xu Sheng and Hulena...

Hulena stretched out her immaculate arm to shield herself from the furious wind, squinting her left eye in shock as she stared at Xu Sheng beside her...

Regaining his composure, Xu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat and inwardly cursed, "Shit, I've gone too far!!"

Thinking quickly, he retracted the nine soul rings back into his Martial Soul...

In an instant, the earlier abnormalities around them subsided quietly like the waves after a storm...

Hulena, eyes wide with shock, stared at Xu Sheng. Her lips parted as if to speak, "Xu..."

Xu Sheng placed a finger to his lips, flashing a gentle smile, "Wait a moment, I'll tell you later ok?"

His expression seemed to possess a magical quality, causing Hulena's cheeks to flush as she subconsciously nodded...

Then, sensing the anomaly, the vast Personal Guard Team stationed in Martial Soul Hall quickly rushed over...

The leader of the guard bowed before Xu Sheng and Hulena, placing his arm across his chest...

With utter seriousness, he asked, "Saint Heir, Holy Daughter, I'm very sorry to have alarmed you, may you tell me what just happened?"

"It's nothing serious, just that Elder Ju and Elder Gui had a quarrel, so some Soul Power leaked out. It's all fine now!"

Seeing Xu Sheng's response, the Personal Guard Team furrowed their brows skeptically and turned their gaze to Hulena...

The boy was only made Saint Heir by His Holiness the day before, who knew if his words were trustworthy, but the Holy Daughter was different!

Hulena was about to reveal the truth but, after seeing Xu Sheng, she held back and silently nodded...

Seeing her affirmation, the guard stood up straight again, "In that case, we shall not disturb the Holy Daughter and the Saint Heir any further, dismiss!"

After saying this, he led the team of guards away...

The innocence on Hulena's cheeks was replaced with deep curiosity, and her eyes swept over to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, can you tell me now? Were those nine just now possibly...?"

Xu Sheng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he leaned in close to Hulena, breathing in the unique fragrance of a young girl, and couldn't help but stroke her hair, his eyes filling with an affection he himself didn't realize...

Seeing Hulena stunned by his actions, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth secretly curled up into a smile, and he whispered into her ear with warm breath, "Yes, those were Nine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, but Lena, you must keep it a secret for me!"

The heat of his breath in her already burning ear caused Hulena's whole body to jolt, sending a strong tingling sensation throughout her...

She pushed Xu Sheng away somewhat hastily, her voice catching as she said, "I... I understand, I promise I won't tell anyone..."

Internally, she thought, "Xu Sheng is actually a Titled Douluo. Could it be that the teacher knew this and specifically selected him to join us?"

"But why? Xu Sheng is the same age as me, yet he's already reached Titled Douluo! Considering there are so few Titled Douluo on the entire Continent, their rarity speaks for itself!"

Xu Sheng, unfazed by being pushed away, spoke softly, "I was just kidding just now, let's hurry on."

He couldn't provoke her further, mainly because Xu Sheng hadn't expected Hulena to react so strongly...

Causing her to feel disdain would be more trouble than it's worth. Although he felt a stirring when he first saw Hulena, he knew...

He was merely coveting Hulena's body!

Hulena shook her head, discarding all the thoughts that had just crossed her mind, and returned to her normal self with a very shy smile, "Ah... okay!"

She had firmly decided to treat what had just happened as a joke.

...

After walking a short distance further, they finally came upon an academy that looked incredibly lavish...

The entire academy occupied a very large area, with an appearance that carried a faint ancient charm, especially since the positions of every part had been carefully deliberated by specialists...

Of course, what was most awe-inspiring wasn't these things, but the fact that this academy was specially built for the Spirit Hall Golden Generation; it was to centralize the best resources and teachers!

To put it more simply, this academy was opened just for three people! No, now it should be four people.

Hulena pointed at the academy excitedly and said, "Xu Sheng, this is where my brothers and I study! It's also the only academy in Martial Soul Hall that was specifically constructed for us!"

As she spoke, a faint proud hue surfaced on Hulena's face...

Xu Sheng lifted his eyes to view the academy, "Indeed, it's very nice, but if there are only a few people in this academy, isn't it too quiet?"

Upon hearing this, the sparkle in Hulena's eyes dimmed slightly, and she gave a somewhat helpless bitter smile, "The teachers are very strict with us, so except for special circumstances, we must exert all our strength in cultivation and learning!"

"Of course, maybe an exception will be made for you in the future."

Xu Sheng was already a Titled Douluo, so he didn't need to practice much further, but he still needed to learn some things about soul beasts, team coordination, and such...

Xu Sheng looked at the academy with a meaningful gaze once more, thinking it seemed to be another place not mentioned in the original story!

He muttered to himself, "Perhaps..."

...

After Hulena and Xu Sheng walked together into the only classroom within the academy, they were met by a middle-aged, slightly chubby man, Qi Ruo!

Despite his unimpressive appearance, this man had reached the terrifying Cultivation Level of a level 73 Soul Sage Zhan!

And the students attentively listening to the lecture below were just two people!

Flame, Martial Soul: Flame Lord, soul power level 25.

Evil Moon, Hulena's brother, Martial Soul: Evil Moon Blade, soul power level 26.

Hulena said with a smile, "Elder Qi Ruo, I hope I'm not interrupting your lesson?"

Qi Ruo shook his head, as she was the Holy Daughter of Martial Soul Hall, who would dare to find fault with her...

Nevertheless, his gaze flicked towards Xu Sheng, and he asked Hulena, "And this child is?"

Hulena looked down at Evil Moon, Flame, and explained with a smile, "His name is Xu Sheng, and he is also a Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall! He will be training here as well!"

Qi Ruo scrutinized him and offered a fair assessment, "Truly worthy of being a Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall! His unique aura set him apart, and he was the talk of the town within Martial Soul Hall just yesterday..."

Upon seeing this scene, Flame felt intense anger in his heart, "What? This guy just joined and he dares to stand so close to Hulena!"

He had harbored a secret love for Hulena for a long time, and had it not been for his brother Evil Moon also present there, he would have confessed his feelings long ago!

No way, he had to teach him a lesson later; judging by his pretty-boy face, his soul power definitely wasn't strong!

Evil Moon meanwhile squinted his eyes, "This guy... you can't see any soul power fluctuation from him... But somehow... he looks even better than I do."

No way, he couldn't allow someone better-looking than him to come along. His gaze shifted subtly to Flame sitting beside him, thinking to himself, "This guy will surely lose his patience, right?"

Being Hulena's brother, he knew his little sister's thoughts all too well!

Although Hulena didn't have any feelings for Flame...

Well then, let the simpleton probe a bit!
