Chapter 211: No Wonder the Auspicious Beast Is at Blazing Academy!
This enormous ticket revenue naturally also included a share for Lin Yuan and his team. After all, before making the decision, Meng Shenji and the academy's higher-ups had specifically sought their opinions.
If Lin Yuan and the others had not agreed to make it public, then Heaven Dou Royal Academy would not have had this substantial ticket income.
The reason Lin Yuan chose to be so high-profile and had no qualms about displaying his strength in front of forces across the entire continent was because he had his own calculations.
He wanted to take advantage of this highly anticipated opportunity to carefully observe which of the forces rushing in from all over the continent possessed a diary copy.
For example, Sky Water Academy and Blazing Academy, which had taken the initiative to challenge them this time.
The moment these two long-established elemental academies proposed holding a public exchange competition with Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Yuan had already understood it clearly.
There was a high probability that someone within these two academies had already obtained a diary copy and had been drawn here by its contents.
Otherwise, based on the usual practices of the major elemental academies, they typically held exchange competitions privately among themselves.
They normally would not have anything to do with Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Inside the preparation lounge of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Before the match, to ensure fairness, both academies would follow the rules and exchange basic information about their participating members.
Although the information written on paper was simple, it included the members' names, martial souls, and exact soul power levels.
The rules for this three-academy exchange competition were also very clear. It was divided into two main parts: an individual endurance battle testing personal strength and a seven-versus-seven team match testing teamwork.
Lin Yuan held the dossier that had just been delivered.
The first thing he looked at was the personal information list from Blazing Academy. As his gaze swept across it, Lin Yuan keenly noticed that Vice Captain Huo Wu's level was highly abnormal.
Based on the timeline, Huo Wu's current level should not have been this high.
Just as Lin Yuan was looking at the data and thinking, Ning Rongrong, who had leaned in beside him, suddenly pointed at the list and said in an exaggeratedly surprised tone:
"Wow, look at this! The vice captain of Blazing Academy, Huo Wu, at her current age, is actually already a Soul King-level expert!"
Ning Rongrong blinked her beautiful eyes, putting on a look of amazement. "Looks like these elemental academies are quite impressive, not to be underestimated."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's slightly over-the-top acting, Lin Yuan smiled helplessly in his heart.
Originally, Lin Yuan had thought that aside from Huo Wu, this obvious anomaly, there was nothing else in Blazing Academy's lineup worth paying attention to.
Until his gaze continued downward, and he saw a name that made his mind go blank instantly—Di Qiu'er!
It was clearly written on the list: Di Qiu'er, Martial Soul: Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Rank 63 Power Attack System Soul Emperor!
Seeing this special name and martial soul, Lin Yuan was completely speechless.
Was there even a need to think?
No need to think at all!
Even with his eyes closed, he knew that this Di Qiu'er was none other than the Emperor Auspicious Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest!
This auspicious beast, cherished by countless soul beasts, had actually taken human form so early? And even gone to join Blazing Academy?
Lin Yuan truly could not understand how this auspicious beast had managed to convince Di Tian.
How could Di Tian and those fierce beasts bear to let her leave the absolute core region of the Star Dou Great Forest?
Just as Lin Yuan was inwardly complaining,
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan also leaned over to look at the list.
When they saw Di Qiu'er's Rank 63 Soul Emperor cultivation, the girls all sharply inhaled in unison.
They all revealed exaggerated expressions of shock at Di Qiu'er's strength.
"My goodness, there's actually someone like you, Brother, who can reach the Soul Emperor level at such a young age? Who exactly is this Di Qiu'er?" Xiao Wu covered her mouth and exclaimed in astonishment.
They all looked as if they were seeing this name for the first time, as if they had never heard of Di Qiu'er before.
Lin Yuan leaned back on the sofa, quietly watching the girls perform so earnestly in front of him.
He found it both amusing and helpless.
These girls, who possessed diary copies to get closer to him and obtain more random rewards from the system, had foolishly gathered together like this.
Weren't they afraid that such abnormal clustering would allow someone like him, who knew the plot, to discover some fatal clues?
It seemed he had overestimated the auspicious beast's naive intelligence.
Or perhaps these girls thought he, Lin Yuan, was too foolish to connect these coincidences and notice any flaws?
Lin Yuan shook his head, too lazy to expose their poor acting. He turned the page and looked at the personal information submitted by Sky Water Academy.
The first page was none other than Sky Water Academy's captain, Shui Bing'er.
The data showed that she also possessed the powerful cultivation of a Soul King.
Vice Captain Xue Wu's level, however, was within a normal range and had not exceeded the original trajectory by much.
Seeing the stark contrast between the two, Lin Yuan immediately understood.
Shui Bing'er definitely possessed a diary copy, while Xue Wu most likely had not been favored by the system.
At this point, Lin Yuan remained calm. Everything was still within his expectations.
However, when his gaze continued downward and he saw the next few names on Sky Water Academy's roster, his entire body felt as if struck by lightning, freezing in place.
His eyes were fixed on the page. Then, in disbelief, he rubbed his eyes. What did he just see?!
Written clearly in black and white were the names: Bing Di, Xue Di, Gu Yuena, and Zi Ji!
These four had actually appeared on Sky Water Academy's student roster!
Moreover, the data showed that the cultivation they displayed on the surface was uniformly at the Soul Emperor level!
This outrageously luxurious lineup left Lin Yuan speechless, his throat dry, not knowing what to say.
He had indeed held this public exchange competition to fish out some hidden players from the masses.
But he had never imagined that the bait he casually cast would hook such massive catches!
No wonder Di Tian had agreed to let the auspicious beast go to Blazing Academy. With Gu Yuena and the others appearing in Sky Water Academy, what was strange about the auspicious beast being in Blazing Academy?
